TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to centrifuge feeding equipment technical field, and specifically is a centrifuge feeding device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Continuous centrifuges are widely used in chemical process arrangements, and their main function is to separate solids from liquids through centrifugal force. However, to meet the feeding requirements of centrifuges, static thickeners are usually configured upstream. Static thickeners use the difference in specific gravity between solids and liquids in the suspension to make solids settle by natural sedimentation, and liquid flows away through an overflow pipe. Although this design can pretreat the suspension to some extent, it has several problems in actual application.
[0003] First, the bottom of the static thickener is prone to blockage. Since solids settle at the bottom of the thickener, the discharge hole at the bottom often becomes blocked, preventing the material from being normally transported to the centrifuge and affecting the continuity and stability of the entire separation process.
[0004] Second, the solid content of the suspension inside the thickener gradually decreases from the bottom upwards. Centrifuges such as piston pusher centrifuges or screw filter centrifuges have high requirements for the solid content of the feed suspension, usually requiring a solid content of no less than 30%. However, in actual operation, users usually discharge into the centrifuge when the solid content is about 30% higher to avoid blockage of the feeding pipe. After a short period of separation, the solid content of the suspension in the thickener will quickly drop to 30%, affecting the continuous operation of the centrifuge and the realization of its production capacity.
[0005] To solve the above problems, using an anti-clogging feeding valve becomes an effective improvement. The anti-clogging feeding valve can discharge into the centrifuge when the solid content in the thickener reaches 50% or even higher, significantly increasing the solid content of the feed and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the centrifuge. This improvement not only improves the separation effect and production efficiency of the centrifuge, but also reduces downtime and maintenance time caused by blockage.
[0006] In summary, although the traditional static thickener meets the feeding requirements of the centrifuge to some extent, its easy blockage and difficulty in controlling the solid content seriously affect the continuous operation of the centrifuge and the realization of its production capacity. By introducing an anti-clogging feeding valve (a centrifuge feeding device), these problems can be effectively solved, significantly improving the operational stability and overall production efficiency of the centrifuge.

[0032] In one of the embodiments, the stirring part comprises a motor 101, a speed reducer 102, a shaft coupling 103, a stirring shaft 104, a stirring paddle 105, a stirring shell 106 and an outer sleeve 107, the upper end of the motor 101 is connected with the speed reducer 102, the upper end of the speed reducer 102 is fixedly connected with the outer sleeve 107, the shaft coupling 103 is rotatably connected in the outer sleeve 107, the shaft coupling 103 is connected with the output end of the speed reducer 102, the other end of the shaft coupling 103 is fixedly connected with the stirring shaft 104, the upper end of the outer sleeve 107 is fixedly connected with the stirring shell 106, the upper end of the stirring shaft 104 penetrates into the stirring shell 106 and is fixedly connected with the stirring paddle 105, the stirring paddle 105 is rotatably connected in the stirring shell 106, and the upper end of the stirring shell 106 is connected with the thickener 2.
[0033] 1, power transmission:
[0034] The motor 101 is started to generate rotary power;
[0035] The power is decelerated and the torque is increased by the speed reducer 102, and is transmitted to the shaft coupling 103;
[0036] The shaft coupling 103 transmits the power to the stirring shaft 104.
[0037] 2. Stirring process:
[0038] The stirring shaft 104 rotates to drive the stirring paddle 105 to rotate in the stirring shell 106.
[0039] The flow generated by the rotation of the stirring paddle 105 uniformly mixes the material in the stirring shell 106, maintaining the fluidity of the material.

[0042] In one embodiment, the discharge valve part includes a valve sleeve shell 201, a connecting body 202, an end cover plate 203, a sealing element 204, an actuator 205, a rotating shaft 206, a valve plate 207, and a valve piece 208. The outer peripheral side of the outer sleeve shell 107 is fixedly connected with the connecting body 202. The valve sleeve shell 201 is sleeved and connected at one end of the connecting body 202 and is sealingly fixed with the connecting body 202. The outer side wall of the lower end of the valve sleeve shell 201 is fixedly connected with a discharge pipe 209, which is connected with the feeding pipe 3.

The first discharge channel 2010 is penetrated through the connecting body 202. The second discharge channel 2011 is provided on the valve plate 207 and the valve piece 208. The second discharge channel 2011 is opposite or staggered with the first discharge channel 2010. In this embodiment, the specific working principle is as follows:
[0043] 1. Normal closed state:
[0044] The actuator 205 rotates the valve plate 207 and the valve piece 208 to the closed position through the rotating shaft 206. At this time, the first discharge channel 2010 and the second discharge channel 2011 are in a staggered state, so that the material cannot flow into the valve sleeve shell 201.
[0045] The sealing element 204 ensures the sealing between the end cover plate 203 and the rotating shaft 206 to prevent material leakage.
[0046] 2. Open state:
[0047] The actuator 205 drives the rotating shaft 206 to rotate, so that the valve plate 207 and the valve piece 208 are rotated to the open position. At this time, the second discharge channel 2011 is aligned with the first discharge channel 2010, and the material can flow smoothly into the valve sleeve shell 201 and then be discharged to the feeding pipe 3 through the discharge pipe 209.
[0048] 3. Sealing performance:
[0049] When the valve plate 207 and the valve piece 208 return to the closed position, the valve piece 208 is in contact with the connecting body 202 to ensure sealing and prevent material leakage.
[0050] The sealing member 204 further strengthens the sealing between the end cover plate 203 and the rotating shaft 206, ensuring that the material does not leak to the outside.
[0051] In one embodiment, the outer side wall of the upper end of the valve sleeve shell 201 is fixedly connected with an external connector 2012, and a plug is threadedly connected to the external connector 2012. The external connector 2012 provides a flexible interface that can be used for external connection of steam, flocculating agent, and other process medium pipelines, making the device more widely applicable. When the external connector 2012 is not in use, the plug can effectively close the external connector 2012 to prevent material leakage.
[0052] In one embodiment, the valve piece 208 is made of corrosion-resistant non-metallic material and is fixed to the valve plate 207 by screws. First, using corrosion-resistant non-metallic material to make the valve piece 208 can effectively resist corrosive materials and improve the service life of the valve. Second, the valve piece 208 is fixed by screws to ensure that it does not easily fall off under high pressure or high flow conditions, enhancing safety and reliability. The connecting block on one side of the first discharge channel 2010 is fixedly connected with a positioning pin 2013, which is movably connected in the second discharge channel 2011. The positioning pin 2013 can control the rotation angle of the valve plate 207 and the valve piece 208, ensuring that the valve piece 208 maintains the correct position when opening and closing.
