Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solid waste treatment, specifically to a high-moisture sludge drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial solid waste treatment, solid waste containing heavy metals is generally treated by melting. The heavy metals in the solid waste are melted to form solid oxides, which are then recovered and further purified to obtain metals of a certain purity. Since most solid waste originates from pre-treated sludge or sediment, and contains a certain amount of moisture, the moisture needs to be dried before entering the melting furnace. At the same time, the combustible organic matter in the waste needs to be incinerated to ensure the treatment and recovery effect in the melting furnace.
[0003] Existing drying equipment typically uses a jacketed heat exchanger to feed solid waste into the drying unit. The moisture in the solid waste is then dried using a stirring device within the unit and hot water in the jacket. However, this method has low drying efficiency due to insufficient drying temperature. Some methods use a burner to heat the drying unit, but because the solid waste contains organic matter, flames and large amounts of flue gas are easily generated during the drying process. These flames or flue gas can also backflow from the drying unit to the burner, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To ensure the drying efficiency of water-containing sludge, meet the requirements of mass production, and improve the safety of the drying process, this utility model provides a high-moisture sludge drying device.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A high-moisture sludge drying device includes a burner, a combustion furnace, and a drying furnace. The burner is installed at one end of the combustion furnace, and the other end of the combustion furnace is connected to the drying furnace. A feeding device is connected to the end of the drying furnace near the combustion furnace. An air outlet and a discharge hopper are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the end of the drying furnace away from the combustion furnace. A flue gas check chamber is installed between the combustion furnace and the drying furnace. The flue gas check chamber is a rectangular cavity. Both ends of the flue gas check chamber are sealed to the combustion furnace and the drying furnace, respectively. A pair of vertical sealing frames are provided in the middle of the flue gas check chamber. A gate is inserted between the pair of sealing frames. The four edges of the gate are sealed to the sealing frames. A gantry and a winch are installed on the outside of the flue gas check chamber. A pulley is installed on the gantry. The steel rope of the winch passes through the pulley and is connected to the lifting lug at the center of the top of the gate.
[0007] Furthermore, the feeding device includes a distribution hopper, a dispersing machine is installed at the bottom outlet of the distribution hopper, a chain plate feeder is installed below the dispersing machine, the output end of the chain plate feeder is connected to a screw feeder, and the end of the screw feeder is connected to the feed inlet of the drying oven.
[0008] Furthermore, the drying oven includes end plates on both sides and a rotary furnace body in the middle. The rotary furnace body is a horizontal cylindrical furnace body. A gear ring is installed on the outer side of the middle part of the rotary furnace body. The two ends of the rotary furnace body are supported by a rotating support. The gear ring meshes with the gear of the reduction device for transmission.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotating support consists of rotating rollers distributed on both sides of the width of the rotary kiln body.
[0010] Furthermore, a rotary rake structure is installed inside the drying oven. The rotary rake includes a rotating shaft and rake blades spirally distributed along its length on the rotating shaft. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably supported by bearings on the two end plates of the drying oven. A speed reducer is installed on the end plate on the side away from the combustion furnace, and the rotating shaft is connected to the speed reducer.
[0011] Furthermore, a discharge conveyor belt is provided directly below the discharge hopper.
[0012] Furthermore, the burner is a natural gas burner.
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The sludge is dried by using high-temperature hot air generated by a burner and furnace. This hot air is controlled by a flue gas check chamber, allowing for the containment of fire or excessive smoke through a gate to prevent damage to the furnace. As the furnace rotates, an internal swirl rake structure promotes sludge tumbling, improving drying efficiency. Both feeding and discharging of the sludge are achieved via a conveyor system, meeting the requirements of large-scale continuous production. Attached Figure Description

The output end of the combustion furnace 2 is connected to the flue gas check chamber 3, which is a rectangular cavity. Both ends of the flue gas check chamber 3 are sealed to the combustion furnace 2 and the drying furnace 5, respectively. A pair of vertical sealing frames 31 are provided in the middle of the flue gas check chamber 3. The four side walls of the sealing frames 31 are sealed to the inner wall of the cavity. A gate 32 is inserted between the pair of sealing frames 31, with its four edges sealingly engaging with the sealing frames 31. When the gate 32 is fully inserted, it can isolate the flue gas passage of the flue gas check chamber 3. A gantry 33 and a winch 34 are installed on the outside of the flue gas check chamber 3. The gantry 33 is welded to the outer wall of the flue gas check chamber 3. The winch 34 is supported by a bracket on the side wall of the flue gas check chamber 3 or the end face of the drying oven 5. Multiple pulleys 35 are installed on the gantry 33. The steel rope of the winch 34 is connected to the lifting lug at the top center of the gate 32 after changing direction through the multiple pulleys 35. The winch 34 can realize the opening and closing of the gate 32 and the adjustment of the opening degree. In addition to realizing flue gas flame check, it can also regulate the flow rate of high-temperature gas entering the drying oven.
