[0022] The disc dewatering machine is a high-tech solid-liquid separation product developed and manufactured specifically for slurry dewatering in limestone wet flue gas desulfurization systems of thermal power plants. This product boasts advantages such as high efficiency and energy saving, low production and operating costs, and clean and environmentally friendly operation, earning customer recognition and widespread praise. It has successfully served nearly a hundred thermal power companies.
[0023] Typically, the thickness of the gypsum packing material in a disc dewatering machine is naturally formed by the density of the slurry on-site through negative pressure suction. The thickness of the resulting filter cake can be finely adjusted by the rotation frequency of the central shaft and the primary dewatering equipment. Currently, the thickness of the gypsum packing material can only be adjusted by the rotation frequency of the central shaft and the primary dewatering equipment, which cannot precisely adjust the filter cake thickness.
[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The application provides a distribution valve head for a disc dewatering machine, including a circular valve body 100. The valve body 100 is divided into four isolated functional areas by four radially extending partitions 101, namely a first adsorption zone 110, a second adsorption zone 120, a drying zone 130, and a material discharge zone 140.
[0025] The valve body 100 is provided with a first adsorption zone opening 111, a second adsorption zone opening 121, a drying zone opening 131, and a material discharge zone opening 141. The first adsorption zone opening 111 is connected to the first adsorption zone 110, the second adsorption zone opening 121 is connected to the second adsorption zone 120, the drying zone opening 131 is connected to the drying zone 130, and the material discharge zone opening 141 is connected to the material discharge zone 140.
[0026] The first adsorption zone 110 is mainly responsible for the initial dewatering stage of the slurry, the second adsorption zone 120 is responsible for further dewatering, the drying zone 130 is responsible for drying the filter cake, and the discharge zone 140 is responsible for unloading the dried filter cake.
[0027] To achieve independent control of the negative pressure in each functional area, four flanges are installed on the valve body 100: the first flange 150, the second flange 160, the third flange 170, and the fourth flange 180. The first flange 150 connects to the first adsorption zone 110, the second flange 160 connects to the second adsorption zone 120, the third flange 170 connects to the drying zone 130, and the fourth flange 180 connects to the material discharge zone 140. Each flange is equipped with a pneumatic butterfly valve. By adjusting the opening of each pneumatic butterfly valve, the negative pressure in each functional area can be precisely controlled.
[0028] In this embodiment, to accommodate the need for a larger adsorption area during the initial dewatering of the slurry, the area of the first adsorption zone 110 is designed to be larger than the area of the second adsorption zone 120. Correspondingly, the area of the opening 111 of the first adsorption zone is also larger than the area of the opening 121 of the second adsorption zone. This design allows for sufficient negative pressure area during the initial dewatering stage, forming a filter cake of appropriate thickness, thus laying the foundation for subsequent dewatering treatment.
[0029] To improve the drying effect, two drying zone openings 131 are provided on the valve body 100, and the two drying zone openings 131 are spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the valve body 100. The two drying zone openings 131 share the same drying zone 130. This design makes the drying process more uniform and thorough, avoids the problem of uneven drying, and improves the drying quality of the filter cake.
[0030] In terms of flange arrangement, the first flange 150 and the third flange 170 extend radially along the valve body 100, while the second flange 160 and the fourth flange 180 are arranged perpendicular to the radial direction of the valve body 100. This arrangement facilitates pipe connection and promotes compact installation of the overall equipment.
[0031] In practical applications, the working process of the distribution valve head of this application is as follows: The slurry first enters the filter cloth area of the disc dewatering machine. Under the negative pressure generated by the first adsorption zone 110, an initial filter cake is formed. The operator controls the negative pressure of the first adsorption zone 110 by adjusting the opening of the pneumatic butterfly valve on the first flange 150, thereby adjusting the thickness of the initial filter cake. Subsequently, the filter cake moves to the second adsorption zone 120, where it undergoes further dewatering under the negative pressure. The operator controls the negative pressure of the second adsorption zone 120 by adjusting the opening of the pneumatic butterfly valve on the second flange 160, so that the filter cake reaches a suitable moisture content.
[0032] The dehydrated filter cake continues to move to the drying zone 130, where it is dried under negative pressure. The drying intensity can be controlled by adjusting the opening of the pneumatic butterfly valve on the third flange 170. Finally, the dried filter cake moves to the discharge zone 140 and is unloaded with the assistance of air pressure.
[0033] Through the above design, the distribution valve head of the disc dewatering machine of this application can achieve precise control of the filter cake thickness, thereby improving dewatering efficiency and product quality, and solving the technical problem of the inability to precisely adjust the filter cake thickness in the prior art. At the same time, this application has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to install and maintain, possessing good practicality and promotional value.
[0034] In another embodiment, the area ratio of each functional area can be appropriately adjusted according to different operating conditions. For example, when processing slurries with high water content, the area ratio of the first adsorption zone 110 and the second adsorption zone 120 can be increased; when the product dryness requirement is high, the area ratio of the drying zone 130 can be increased. This flexible design allows the dispensing valve head of this application to adapt to different process requirements.
[0035] The distribution valve head of this application can also be used in conjunction with an automatic control system. By installing pressure sensors in each functional area, pressure signals are fed back to the control system, which automatically adjusts the opening degree of each pneumatic butterfly valve according to a preset program, thereby achieving automated control of the dehydration process and further improving production efficiency and product quality stability.
[0036] The disc dewatering machine of this application has a distribution valve head that is isolated from each other, consisting of a first adsorption zone 110, a second adsorption zone 120, a drying zone 130, and a discharge zone 140. Each zone is connected to an external air pump via a corresponding flange and a pneumatic butterfly valve, allowing independent adjustment of the air pressure in each zone. This enables precise control of the filter cake formation process and solves the problem of inaccurate filter cake thickness adjustment in existing technologies. The air pump connected to the discharge zone 140 is used for blowing air. After the air enters the discharge zone 140, it blows the filter cake off the filter cloth for discharge. The flanges corresponding to the first adsorption zone 110, the second adsorption zone 120, and the drying zone 130 are respectively connected to the same negative pressure pump through pipelines. The negative pressure pump provides negative pressure suction to the first adsorption zone 110, the second adsorption zone 120, and the drying zone 130.
[0037] This application improves the initial dehydration efficiency of the slurry by designing the area of the first adsorption zone 110 to be larger than that of the second adsorption zone 120, which meets the requirement of a larger negative pressure area for initial adsorption during the dehydration process. In addition, the two drying zone openings 131 are set to make the drying process more uniform and thorough, thereby improving the drying effect of the final product.
