Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a closed automatic sludge discharge device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing activated sludge wastewater treatment processes, the secondary sedimentation tank plays a crucial role as a key process step. The secondary sedimentation tank effectively separates sludge from water, maintaining the sludge age of the system by periodically removing excess and dead sludge, and ensuring the stability of sludge concentration within the biological reaction tank, thereby guaranteeing the normal operation of the wastewater treatment process.

[0003] However, during the operation of secondary sedimentation tanks, odorous gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are inevitably produced. These gases, once released from the water surface, can have a negative impact on the surrounding air environment. To solve this odor problem, secondary sedimentation tanks are usually covered, and the emitted odors are collected and treated to reduce environmental pollution.

[0004] Despite this, during the operation of the secondary sedimentation tank, surface sludge and bottom sludge will accumulate. These sludge particles need to be removed regularly; otherwise, the overall operational efficiency of the secondary sedimentation tank and the biological reaction tank will be affected. Currently, a sludge scraper / suction machine is typically used to scrape surface sludge and suction bottom sludge. The scraper / suction machine travels back and forth along the length of the tank to complete the sludge removal operation. If the secondary sedimentation tank is directly covered, sealing the scraper / suction machine inside, corrosive gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emitted from the tank will quickly corrode and damage the machine, and will also make it extremely difficult for maintenance personnel to access it. If only the surface of the tank is covered, multiple pipes and supports for the scraper / suction machine extend to the bottom of the tank. To facilitate the machine's movement, several gaps need to be left in the cover. While this design allows the scraper / suction machine to operate normally, it severely affects the collection of odors, causing odors to overflow and failing to effectively solve the odor problem.

[0005] Therefore, how to effectively cover and seal the secondary sedimentation tank while ensuring the normal discharge of floating sludge and bottom sludge, and at the same time avoid corrosion and damage to the sludge scraper and suction machine and facilitate maintenance by maintenance personnel, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] The following is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention describes a closed-type automatic sludge discharge device.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the sealed automatic sludge discharge device includes: a secondary settling tank 1, a chain-plate scraper 2, a cover plate 3, and a gas collection device. A pair of tracks are arranged along the length of the secondary settling tank 1, and the chain-plate scraper 2 moves along these tracks. The cover plate 3 is placed over the secondary settling tank 1 to seal it. A portion of the gas collection device extends through the cover plate 3 into the secondary settling tank 1, and the gas collection device is used to collect gas within the secondary settling tank 1.

[0026] Specifically, the secondary sedimentation tank 1 is equipped with a pair of chain-type tracks. As the chain-plate scraper 2 moves along these tracks, it scrapes the settled floating sludge into the discharge trough. The secondary sedimentation tank 1 is covered with a cover plate 3. The chain-plate scraper 2 operates within the secondary sedimentation tank 1 in a sealed environment. In this embodiment, the chain-plate scraper 2 is constructed entirely of corrosion-resistant materials to prevent corrosion from gases within the secondary sedimentation tank 1. Optionally, the chain-plate scraper 2 can be made of corrosion-resistant rubber, nylon, or 304 stainless steel. Gases within the secondary sedimentation tank 1 are collected by a gas collection device. In this embodiment, the chain-plate scraper 2 operates normally without corrosion, while simultaneously collecting odors to prevent leakage and environmental pollution.

[0027] Optionally, in an embodiment of this utility model, the cover plate 3 can be a fiberglass plate to facilitate observation of the secondary sedimentation tank 1.

[0028] The sealed automatic sludge discharge device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, by setting the entire chain plate sludge scraper as a corrosion-resistant chain plate sludge scraper, allows the chain plate sludge scraper to work normally in a closed space without being corroded; by setting a cover plate and a gas collection device, gas leakage is avoided, thus preventing pollution to the environment.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a steel plate 13 is laid on the bottom surface of the secondary sedimentation tank 1. The steel plate 13 includes a first steel plate 131 and a second steel plate 132 connected together. The first steel plate 131 is inclined, and the second steel plate 132 is horizontal. The distance between the second steel plate 132 and the cover plate 3 is greater than the distance between the first steel plate 131 and the cover plate 3. The first steel plate 131 and the second steel plate 132 form a sludge hopper to increase the sludge concentration on the second steel plate 132.

[0030] Furthermore, the secondary sedimentation tank 1 has a first inner wall 11 and a second inner wall 12, the first inner wall 11 being adjacent to the first steel plate 131 and the second inner wall 12 being adjacent to the second steel plate 132.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the closed-type automatic sludge discharge device further includes: multiple pumps 61 and multiple sludge discharge pipes 62. The multiple pumps 61 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the secondary sedimentation tank 1, and the multiple pumps 61 are mounted on the second steel plate 132. The first end of each sludge discharge pipe 62 is connected to a pump 61, and the second end of each sludge discharge pipe 62 penetrates the second inner wall 12 and extends to the outside of the secondary sedimentation tank 1.

[0032] Specifically, the settled sludge is divided into floating sludge and bottom sludge. In this embodiment of the invention, when the chain-plate scraper 2 moves along the track, it can scrape the floating sludge into the sludge discharge trough. The bottom sludge accumulates on the second steel plate 132 and is drawn into the sludge discharge trough through the sludge discharge pipe 62 by multiple pumps 61. In this embodiment, by setting an inclined first steel plate 131 and a horizontal second steel plate 132 in the secondary sedimentation tank 1, the settled sludge can accumulate on the second steel plate 132 as much as possible, thereby increasing the sludge concentration on the second steel plate 132, facilitating the pump 61 to draw it in, and thus improving the sludge discharge efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, when there are a large number of secondary sedimentation tanks 1, such as two secondary sedimentation tanks 1, the pumps 61 in each secondary sedimentation tank 1 can be operated in turn. This can ensure that the sludge in the secondary sedimentation tank 1 has a certain settling time, and can also avoid the problem of excessive instantaneous sludge discharge and the inability of the sludge discharge trough to discharge sludge smoothly.

[0034] Furthermore, because the sludge hopper formed by the first steel plate 131 and the second steel plate 132 is relatively large, the pumping capacity of the pump 61 is limited. To prevent sludge from accumulating in the corners of the sludge hopper and causing caking, thus affecting the pumping effect...

[0035] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the closed-loop automatic sludge discharge device also includes: multiple cleaning pipes 71, multiple control valves 72, and a controller. Each cleaning pipe 71 is connected to a sludge discharge pipe 62, and each cleaning pipe 71 is equipped with a control valve 72. When the pump 61 draws sludge outward, the control valve 72 is closed, and the sludge cannot be discharged from the cleaning pipe 71. When the sludge discharge pipe 62 is connected to an external water source, the control valve 72 is open, and water enters the cleaning pipe 71 from the sludge discharge pipe 62 and then exits from the cleaning pipe 71 to flush the sludge in the corners of the sludge hopper and prevent sludge from caking.

[0036] In this embodiment, since the secondary sedimentation tank 1 is a closed space, the opening of the control valve 72 cannot be operated manually. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the closed automatic sludge discharge device also includes a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the control valve 72. When the sludge discharge pipe 62 is connected to the external water source, the controller is operated manually to open the control valve 72. After flushing is completed, the controller is operated manually again to close the control valve 72.

[0037] Furthermore, the outlet of each cleaning pipe 71 faces the second inner wall 12 to flush the sludge at the corner formed by the second steel plate 132 and the second inner wall 12, so as to prevent the sludge from caking and affecting the pumping effect of the pump 61.

[0038] In the above embodiments, the steel plate 13, pump 61, sludge discharge pipe 62, cleaning pipe 71 and control valve 72 are all made of corrosion-resistant materials.

[0039] In another optional embodiment of the present invention, the closed automatic sludge discharge device includes multiple cleaning mechanisms, which are spaced apart from multiple pumps 61. Each cleaning mechanism is used to flush the sludge on the second steel plate 132.

[0040] Furthermore, each cleaning unit includes a main pipe and multiple branch pipes. The main pipe has a bend, a first end of which is connected to the second steel plate 132, and a second end of which extends to the outside of the secondary sedimentation tank 1. The first end of each branch pipe is connected to the main pipe, and the second end of each branch pipe faces the second inner wall 12, or the second end of each branch pipe faces the wall adjacent to the second inner wall 12.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main pipeline includes a first pipeline and a second pipeline. The first pipeline and the second pipeline are arranged perpendicularly and connected. One end of the first pipeline extends through the second inner wall 12 to the outside of the secondary sedimentation tank 1, and the second pipeline is connected to the second steel plate 132. Multiple branch pipes are connected to the second pipeline, each branch pipe facing the second inner wall 12, or each branch pipe facing a wall adjacent to the second inner wall 12. The branch pipes facing the second inner wall 12 can flush the sludge at the corner formed by the second inner wall 12 and the second steel plate 132; the branch pipes facing the wall adjacent to the second inner wall 12, such as the front wall or the rear wall, can flush the sludge at the corner formed by the front wall and the second steel plate 132, or the corner formed by the rear wall and the second steel plate 132.

[0042] Furthermore, in the embodiments described above, each branch pipe is inclined to the main pipe, and the outlet end of each branch pipe is set downwards, so that water can be sprayed directly to the corners to enhance the flushing effect.

[0043] After the cover plate 3 is installed on the secondary sedimentation tank 1, a closed space is formed inside the secondary sedimentation tank 1, preventing operators from entering the maintenance area. Therefore, the cover plate 3 has multiple through holes 31, each aligned with a pump 61. The size of each through hole 31 is larger than the size of the pump 61, facilitating the lifting of the pump 61 through the through hole 31 for maintenance. Furthermore, the pump 61 is equipped with lifting rings 611 for easy lifting.

[0044] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a cover body can be provided at the through hole 31 of the cover plate 3, and a sealing ring is provided at the through hole 31. One side of the cover body is rotatably connected to the cover plate 3. When the cover body is lifted, the pump 61 can be lifted.

[0045] In another optional embodiment of this utility model, the closed-type automatic sludge discharge device further includes multiple moving mechanisms, each corresponding to one of the multiple pumps 61. Each moving mechanism includes a slide rail 51 and a moving plate 52. The slide rail 51 is disposed inside the secondary sedimentation tank 1, and the moving plate 52 can move along the slide rail 51. The size of the moving plate 52 is larger than the size of the through hole 31. When the moving plate 52 moves to the through hole 31, it can block the through hole 31, thereby preventing gas from escaping from the through hole 31; when maintenance of the pump 61 is required, the moving plate 52 can be pushed away from the through hole 31 to lift the pump 61 out from the through hole 31.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of this utility model, the gas collection device includes: an outlet pipe 41 and a gas collection box 42. The first end of the outlet pipe 41 extends through the cover plate 3 into the secondary sedimentation tank 1, and the second end of the outlet pipe 41 is connected to the gas collection box 42 to collect odorous gas.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
