BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0013] Fig. 1 The utility model discloses a controllable sludge amount's sludge working tank structure schematic diagram;

[0014] Fig. 2 The utility model discloses a controllable sludge amount's sludge working tank plan view. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The specific embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiment.

[0016] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises" shall be understood to include the stated elements or components without excluding other elements or other components.

[0017] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, a sludge working tank with controllable sludge volume includes a drive motor 2, a sludge stirring mechanism, and a sludge volume control mechanism. The drive motor 2 is mounted on the working tank body 1 and is connected to the sludge stirring mechanism, which extends into the working tank body 1. The working tank body 1 is provided with a sludge inlet pipe 3, which forms an angle of 45° with the vertical direction. The bottom of the working tank body 1 is provided with a sludge outlet 4, and a steam pipe 5 is provided on the working tank body 1. The steam pipe 5 is located at the lower part of the working tank body 1 and is connected to an external steam device.

[0018] The sludge mixing mechanism includes a rotating rod 6 and mixing blades 7. The rotating rod 6 is connected to the drive motor 2 and extends into the working tank 1. Two to three sets of mixing blades 7 are provided on the rotating rod in the working tank 1. The mixing blades 7 include blade units 8. The blade units are symmetrically arranged with the rotating rod 6 as the center, and the blade units 8 on both sides are staggered.

[0019] The sludge quantity control mechanism includes a PLC controller and a torque sensor 9. The torque sensor 9 is communicatively connected to the PLC controller and is mounted on a rotating rod 6 located outside the working tank 1. The PLC controller is a Siemens S7-200 SMART type PLC controller, and the torque sensor 9 is a JN-DN3 dynamic torque sensor.

[0020] During operation, sludge enters the working tank 1 through the sludge inlet pipe 3. The drive motor 2 starts, causing the rotating rod 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blades 7 to agitate the sludge. The blade units 8, arranged in different directions, ensure thorough agitation of the sludge within the working tank 1. Simultaneously, high-temperature steam enters the working tank 1 through the steam pipe 5 to mix and react with the sludge. The torque sensor 9 monitors the torque of the stirring blades 7 in real time. When the amount of sludge in the working tank 1 is low, often only one set of stirring blades 7 receives force from the sludge, with the upper stirring blades 7 idling. The torque sensor 9 detects a low torque from the stirring blades 7, and the PLC controller, through manual intervention, increases the amount of sludge entering the sludge inlet pipe 3 based on the detection results. When the amount of sludge in the working tank 1 is high, 2-3 sets of stirring blades 7 receive force from the sludge, and the torque sensor 9 detects a high torque from the stirring blades 7. In this case, the PLC controller, through manual intervention, reduces the amount of sludge entering the sludge inlet pipe 3 based on the detection results. This maintains a suitable amount of sludge in the working tank 1, ensuring the efficient operation of the sludge working tank.

[0021] After the device has been operated for a certain time, the torque data average interval value of the stirring blade 7 can be obtained for a type of sludge, and the power data average interval value of the sludge input pump device corresponding to the torque data average interval value can also be obtained. The middle value of the torque data average interval value is taken to obtain the middle value of the power data of the sludge input pump device corresponding thereto. By setting the power of the sludge input pump device as the middle value of the power data, the general sludge input amount of the type of sludge is obtained. The general sludge input amount of each type of sludge can be obtained through the same process.

[0022] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present application is intended to be illustrative only and is not intended to limit the application to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the present application and its practical application and to allow others skilled in the art to understand the present application for various exemplary embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. The scope of the present application is intended to be defined by the claims and their equivalents.
