Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sludge conditioner production equipment, specifically a continuous sludge conditioner drum dryer. Background Technology
[0002] Sludge conditioner is a chemical agent mainly used to change the surface structure of sludge, reduce the solid surface load and specific surface area of sludge, and destroy the bacterial structure, thereby reducing the surface activity and adhesion of sludge.
[0003] Drying is a crucial step in the production of sludge conditioners, helping to remove moisture from the material to meet the requirements of storage, transportation, or subsequent processing. Rotary drum dryers, as a type of contact-type internal heating and conduction drying machinery, have advantages such as high thermal efficiency and high drying rate, and are therefore widely used in the drying processes of various materials, including the production of sludge conditioners.
[0004] However, existing rotary drum dryers for sludge conditioners have the following shortcomings: 1. After drying and outputting the sludge conditioner raw materials, they cannot detect whether the raw materials still contain moisture or dampness. Consequently, they cannot automatically repeat the drying process on incompletely dried sludge conditioner raw materials containing moisture or dampness, resulting in low drying efficiency; 2. Current rotary drum dryers typically use steam heating or hot air circulation heating methods. High-temperature air is introduced into the internal cavity of the dryer through a fan to form a hot air circulation, which heats and dries the material. However, due to the large size of the entire internal cavity of the dryer, this method has the potential for uneven heating in certain areas.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a continuous sludge conditioner drum dryer to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0027] For examples, please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0028] A continuous sludge conditioner rotary drum dryer includes a rotary drum dryer body 1. The rotary drum dryer body 1 includes a dryer shell 2 located on its outer side, a heating layer 3 located inside the dryer shell 2, and a drying layer 4 located inside the dryer shell 2. The drying layer 4 rotates inside the heating layer 3. A head 5 and a tail 6 are respectively connected to the outer sides of the two axial ends of the dryer shell 2. A feed inlet 7 is fixedly provided at the top of the head 5. A reducer 8 is provided at one side of the head 5 and at the end away from the rotary drum dryer body 1. An air duct interface 9 is provided at the top of the tail 6, and a pressure relief valve is fixedly connected through the air duct interface 9. A discharge port 10 is provided at the bottom of the tail 6. A fixed connecting ring 11 is sleeved and installed on the outer side of the dryer shell 2. The bottom of the fixed connecting ring 11 is supported by a support roller 12. A support seat 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support roller 12. A circulation structure 14 is also provided between the discharge port 10 and the feed inlet 7. A control device 18 is also fixedly installed on the outer base surface of the dryer shell 2.
[0029] Specifically, the interior of the end cap 5 and the outer side of one end of the drum dryer body 1 are interference-fitted, and a sealing gasket is provided between the end cap 5 and the drum dryer body 1. The interior of the end cap 6 and the outer side of one end of the drum dryer body 1 are interference-fitted, and a sealing gasket is provided between the end cap 6 and the drum dryer body 1. The feed inlet 7 penetrates the interior of the end cap 5 and is connected to the interior of the drying layer 4. The discharge outlet 10 penetrates the interior of the end cap 6 and is also connected to the interior of the drying layer 4. The sludge conditioner raw material is fed into the internal cavity of the drum dryer body 1 from the feed inlet 7 on one side and is finally discharged from the bottom discharge outlet 10. The interference fit connection enhances the connection strength between the two, effectively preventing loosening or detachment at the connection, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire structure.
[0030] Specifically, electric heating tubes 15 are laid inside the heating layer 3, and a heat insulation layer 16 is provided between the outer side of the heating layer 3 and the inner wall of the dryer shell 2; a shaft is provided on the axial side of the drying layer 4 away from the reducer 8, and the output shaft of the reducer 8 and the shaft on one side of the drying layer 4 are fixedly connected by a coupling; the sludge conditioner raw material is dried by using the electric heating tubes 15 arranged around the inside of the drum dryer, and the drying layer 4 rotates synchronously, which can improve the drying efficiency and completeness of the sludge conditioner raw material.
[0031] Specifically, the circulation structure 14 includes a circulation pipe 141 fixedly connected to the inlet 7 and the outlet 10 respectively. A circulation pump body 142 is fixedly connected to the circulation pipe 141, and an electrically controlled three-way valve 143 is fixedly connected between the circulation pipe 141 and the outlet 10 on one side of the outlet 10. During normal discharge, the outlet 10 is connected to the bottom output interface of the electrically controlled three-way valve 143, so that the sludge conditioner raw material is output from this port. When it is detected that drying is required again, this side channel is closed, and the outlet 10 and the side output interface of the electrically controlled three-way valve 143 are connected, so that the sludge conditioner raw material re-enters the inlet 7 through the circulation pipe 141 for re-drying.
[0032] A humidity monitoring sensor 17 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the discharge port 10 and the electrically controlled three-way valve 143. The humidity monitoring sensor 17 and the electrically controlled three-way valve 143 are both electrically connected to the control device 18. The humidity monitoring sensor 17 is used to monitor the internal humidity or moisture of the sludge conditioner raw material in order to control whether subsequent circulating drying operations are required.
[0033] Specifically, a plurality of buffer washers 19 are also arranged around the fixed connecting ring 11 and the dryer housing 2; when the drum dryer is running, vibration will occur, and the buffer washers 19 are used to buffer the collision between the machine body and the fixed connecting ring 11.
[0034] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using this continuous sludge conditioner drum dryer, the sludge conditioner raw material is fed into the drying layer 4 cavity inside the main body of the drum dryer through the feed port 7. Then, the sludge conditioner raw material is dried by the electric heating tubes 15 arranged around the inside of the drum dryer. At the same time, the drying layer 4 rotates synchronously, which can improve the drying efficiency and completeness of the sludge conditioner raw material, and finally it is sent out from the bottom discharge port 10. There are two situations during discharge: During normal discharge, the discharge port 10 is connected to the bottom output interface of the electrically controlled three-way valve 143, so that the sludge conditioner raw material is output from this port. When it is detected that drying is required again, this side channel is closed, and the discharge port 10 is connected to the side output interface of the electrically controlled three-way valve 143, so that the sludge conditioner raw material re-enters the feed port 7 through the circulation pipe 141 for re-drying.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
