Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sludge scraper technology, specifically a chain sludge scraper for sewage treatment. Background Technology
[0002] A sludge scraper is a machine used to remove sludge from river channels. It is used in large-diameter circular sedimentation tanks in urban sewage treatment plants, waterworks, and industrial wastewater treatment plants to remove sludge settled at the bottom of the tank and skim off scum from the surface. Among them, the non-metallic chain sludge scraper is a type of sludge scraper that can be used for skimming scum from the surface and scraping sludge from the bottom of rectangular primary and secondary sedimentation tanks.
[0003] Patent document CN215995726U discloses a non-metallic chain scraper for sewage treatment, including a water collection tank. A transmission mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the water collection tank, and a drive sprocket is located inside the tank. A toothed chain is provided on the side surface of the drive sprocket, and a first scraper plate, a second scraper plate, and a third scraper plate are fixedly connected to the side surface of the toothed chain. A first sensor and a second sensor are fixedly connected to the left and right inner sides of the water collection tank. Telescopic limiting plates are movably connected inside each of the first, second, and third scraper plates. This invention, by using a first, second, and third scraper plate to sequentially remove sludge of different depths, avoids excessive sludge pushing that could damage the scraper plates, thus improving their service life. The connecting rod and telescopic limiting plates reduce water resistance when the scraper moves in water, reducing energy consumption and improving the practicality of the device.
[0004] Although the existing technology can use three scraper blades of different lengths to scrape sludge, avoiding damage to the scraper blades due to excessive sludge and improving their service life, the non-metallic chain may become loose or tight during the operation of the scraper, affecting its use. Therefore, a new chain scraper for sewage treatment is proposed to optimize the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment of the present invention, a chain scraper for sewage treatment includes a water collection tank 1. Two driven sprockets 2 are symmetrically and rotatably mounted on both sides of the bottom of the water collection tank 1. A driving sprocket 3 is rotatably mounted on one side of the top of the water collection tank 1. An adjusting sprocket 4 is movably mounted on the other side of the top of the water collection tank 1. A chain 5 is connected to the outer sides of the adjusting sprocket 4, the driving sprocket 3, and the driven sprockets 2. Scraper assemblies 6 are evenly mounted on the chain segments of the chain 5. The adjusting sprocket 4 is rotatably connected in a rotating mounting groove 7. The rotating mounting groove 7 is slidably connected in an open groove 8. The open groove 8 is fixedly connected in the water collection tank 1. An adjusting threaded handle 9 is rotatably and penetratingly connected to the tail end of the open groove 8. A threaded sleeve 10 is threadedly connected to the adjusting threaded handle 9. The threaded sleeve 10 is fixedly penetrating the rotating mounting groove 7.
[0022] By adjusting the rotation of the threaded handle 9, the threaded sleeve 10 can push the rotating mounting groove 7 to slide within the opening groove 8, thereby controlling the position of the adjusting sprocket 4 and adjusting the tension of the chain 5 to prevent it from becoming loose and unable to transmit power.
[0023] The side wall of the rotating mounting groove 7 is symmetrically fixed with sliders 11, and the side wall of the opening groove 8 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 12. The sliders 11 are inserted into the sliding grooves 12 and slide in contact with the sliding grooves 12.
[0024] The sliding of the rotating mounting groove 7 within the opening groove 8 can be guided and limited by the cooperation of the slider 11 and the groove 12.
[0025] A drive mechanism 13 is provided above the water collection tank 1 corresponding to the drive sprocket 3. The drive mechanism 13 includes a drive motor 14, a drive wheel 15, a driven wheel 16, and a transmission chain 17.
[0026] The drive motor 14 is fixedly installed on the water collection tank 1. The drive motor 14 is externally connected to a power supply and a switch. The drive wheel 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 14. The driven wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the drive sprocket 3 and is concentrically arranged with the drive sprocket 3. The transmission chain 17 is sleeved on the outside of the drive wheel 15 and the driven wheel 16 and meshes with the drive wheel 15 and the driven wheel 16 for transmission.
[0027] Driven by the drive motor 14, the drive sprocket 3 can be driven to rotate under the transmission cooperation of the drive wheel 15, the driven wheel 16 and the transmission chain 17. Then, under the cooperation of the adjusting sprocket 4, the drive sprocket 3 and the driven sprocket 2, the chain 5 is driven to run, so that the scraper assembly 6 is driven to work.
[0028] The scraper assembly 6 includes a fixed seat 18, which is fixedly mounted on the chain 5. An extension scraper 19 adapted to the fixed seat 18 is slidably connected to the bottom inner side of the fixed seat 18. The fixed seat 18 has a sliding cavity that corresponds to and is adapted to the extension scraper 19. A threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 18. The threaded rod 20 is inserted into the extension scraper 19 and threadedly connected to the extension scraper 19. The extension scraper 19 has a threaded hole for the threaded rod 20 to be inserted and threadedly connected.
[0029] The top of the fixed base 18 is provided with a mounting cavity 21 corresponding to the top of the threaded rod 20.

[0030] Rotating the worm gear 23 via the handwheel 24 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate through the worm wheel 22, thereby driving the extended scraper 19 to slide within the fixed seat 18. This adjusts the effective sludge scraping height of the scraper assembly 6, resulting in scraper assemblies 6 at different heights. This facilitates the layering and removal of sludge, controls the load on each scraper assembly 6 during sludge scraping, and prevents excessive stress on the scraper assembly 6 from affecting its lifespan.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0032] In use, the worm gear 23 is rotated by the handwheel 24, which drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate through the worm wheel 22. The threaded rod 20 engages with the threaded hole on the extended scraper 19, which drives the extended scraper 19 to slide within the fixed seat 18, thereby adjusting the effective sludge scraping height of the scraper assembly 6. By adjusting the rotation of the threaded handle 9, the threaded sleeve 10 pushes the rotating mounting groove 7 to slide within the opening groove 8, thereby controlling the position of the adjusting sprocket 4 and adjusting the tension of the chain 5. Driven by the drive motor 14, the drive sprocket 3 is driven to rotate through the transmission of the drive wheel 15, driven wheel 16, and transmission chain 17. This, in turn, drives the chain 5 to run through the cooperation of the adjusting sprocket 4, drive sprocket 3, and driven sprocket 2, thus enabling the scraper assembly 6 to operate.
[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
