Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam treatment technology for thickeners, and specifically to a foam collection device for thickeners. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, thickeners generate a lot of foam, which is mostly removed manually: a large number of people use a rake to collect the foam to the edge of the thickener, and then a diaphragm pump cleans it up. This requires dedicated personnel for the cleanup, which is not only wasteful of manpower and labor-intensive, but also costly and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a foam collection device for thickeners to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] A foam collection device for a thickener includes a base plate 1 and a panel 3 connected to the base plate 1 via a connecting rod 2. Several adjusting rods 4 are provided on the panel 3, and an adjusting cap 5 is connected below a suspended ball 6. The adjusting cap 5 is threadedly connected to the adjusting rods 4. A submersible pump 7 is provided on the base plate 1. The submersible pump 7 includes a suction port 8 and a discharge port 9, and a collector 10 is connected to the suction port 8.

[0005] Furthermore, outlet 9 is connected to a hose.

[0006] Furthermore, there are three adjusting levers 4.

[0007] Furthermore, the base plate 1, connecting rod 2, panel 3, adjusting rod 4, adjusting cap 5, suspension ball 6, submersible pump 7, suction port 8, discharge port 9, and collector 10 are made of corrosion-resistant materials or have anti-corrosion coatings on their surfaces. Corrosion-resistant materials include ceramics, stainless steel, etc.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] 1. This utility model provides a foam collection device that is highly adaptable, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has high reliability;

[0010] 2. This utility model avoids manual operation, reduces production costs, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] A foam collection device for a thickener includes a base plate 1 and a panel 3 connected to the base plate 1 via a connecting rod 2. Three adjusting rods 4 are mounted on the panel 3, and an adjusting cap 5 is connected below a suspended ball 6. The adjusting cap 5 is threadedly connected to the adjusting rods 4. A submersible pump 7 is mounted on the base plate 1, and the submersible pump 7 includes a suction port 8 and a discharge port 9. A collector 10 is connected to the suction port 8, and the discharge port 9 is connected to a hose. The base plate 1, connecting rod 2, panel 3, adjusting rods 4, adjusting cap 5, suspended ball 6, submersible pump 7, suction port 8, discharge port 9, and collector 10 are all made of stainless steel.

[0018] By adjusting the adjusting cap and adjusting rod, the collector is kept below the foam level and balanced. During operation, the foam is discharged through the collector, suction port, and discharge port. The foam collection device can be controlled in terms of movement direction and working position via a hose, lever, or even by attaching a strap, thereby completing the suction and discharge of all foam.

[0019] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It is understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
