Detailed Implementation
[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings herein can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "linking", "fixing", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.
[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the inclined tube sedimentation tank includes an inlet 1, a water distribution area 2, a sludge discharge pipe 3, inclined tubes 4, and an outlet trough 5. Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the figure, a cleaning device for an inclined tube sedimentation tank according to this embodiment includes a cleaning mechanism, a moving mechanism, and a rotating mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the inclined tube 4, the moving mechanism is used to drive the cleaning mechanism to move, and the rotating mechanism is used to drive the cleaning mechanism to rotate.
[0030] The moving mechanism mainly includes a support frame 13; left and right support columns 9 and 10 are fixed on the sedimentation tank, and the support frame 13 is installed on the left and right support columns 9 and 10. The support frame 13 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, hollow, with open top, bottom, front, and back, and closed left and right sides with a sliding groove 16. The upper end of the sliding groove 16 is provided with a support seat 161 and a sliding groove lock 162, and the lower end of the sliding groove 16 is provided with a buffer pad 163. The gear bracket 15 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 16 and can move up and down. The two ends of the gear bracket 15 are connected to cables 17, and the cables 17 are connected to a cable motor 19 via a fixed pulley 18.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, after the slide lock 162 is pressed down, the gear bracket 15 located on the bracket base 161 slides along the slide 16 onto the buffer pad 163 under the action of gravity. Under the traction of the cable motor 19 and the cable 17, the gear bracket 15 can rise along the slide 16 until it passes over the slide lock 162 and falls onto the bracket base 161.
[0032] The rotating mechanism is slidably mounted on the support frame 13. The rotating mechanism includes a driving gear 7 and a driven gear 8 that meshes with the driving gear 7; for example... Figure 4 As shown, the driving gear 7 and driven gear 8 are of equal size. The driven gears 8 are arranged in rows and columns, with each row of driven gears 8 meshing sequentially. Each row of driven gears 8 corresponds to one driving gear 7. The output shaft of the gear motor 6 is connected to all the driving gears 7. The gear motor 6 provides power to drive the driving gears 7 to rotate. Under the drive of the gear motor 6, the driving gears 7 perform circular motion, which in turn drives the adjacent driven gears 8 to rotate, thereby causing all the driven gears 8 in a row to rotate.
[0033] The cleaning mechanism mainly includes a high-pressure water tank 11, a main pipe 12, and a cleaning pipe 14. The high-pressure water tank 11 is connected to the main pipe 12, and the main pipe 12 is connected to multiple branch pipes. Each branch pipe is connected to a cleaning pipe 14 through a rotating connector 20. The cleaning pipe 14 passes through the driven gear 8 and can rotate with the driven gear 8. Specifically, the driven gear 8 has a hole in the center with threads inside, and the cleaning pipe 14 also has corresponding external threads 141 on its wall. The cleaning pipe 14 rotates through the central hole of the driven gear 8.
[0034] A brush assembly 144 is detachably mounted on the cleaning pipe 14. For example... Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the cleaning tube 14 is provided with an elastic retaining ball 142, and the brush part 144 is provided with a mounting hole 145 that matches the elastic retaining ball 142. After the brush part 144 is inserted into the end of the cleaning tube 14, the mounting hole 145 engages with the elastic retaining ball 142, so that the brush part 144 is firmly fixed and can rotate together with the cleaning tube 14.
[0035] The brush component 144 is equipped with bristles 146. The gear bracket 15 descends to the bottom of the slide groove 16, and the cleaning tube 14 is inserted into the inclined tube 4. When the driven gear 8 rotates, it drives the cleaning tube 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the bristles 146 to clean the wall of the inclined tube 4. The portion of the cleaning tube 14 opposite the brush component 144 is provided with micro-holes 143. High-pressure water is sprayed out from the micro-holes 143 to flush the wall of the inclined tube 4, and the effect is better when combined with the bristles 146. The micro-holes 143 are inclined to a certain extent, which makes the flushing force on the wall of the inclined tube better.
[0036] The inclined tube 4 of the inclined tube sedimentation tank has a diameter of 25-80mm and an inclination angle of 60°. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the chute 16 is generally 60°. The gear support can move up and down under the action of gravity and cable, driving the rotating mechanism and the cleaning mechanism to move up and down. The cleaning pipe 14 is made of stainless steel, with an outer diameter of 20-75mm, and its length is preferably twice the length of the inclined tube 4.
[0037] It should be noted that the sizes of the driving gear and driven gear vary depending on the diameter and spacing of the inclined tube. Ideally, the cleaning tube should be able to smoothly insert into the inclined tube after being rotated and passed through the driven gear. The diameter of the center hole of the driven gear should match the outer diameter of the cleaning tube, with their threads fitting together so that the rotation of the driven gear can smoothly drive the cleaning tube to rotate.
[0038] The operating principle and process of the inclined tube sedimentation tank cleaning device in this embodiment are as follows: During operation, when the sludge on the wall of the inclined tube 4 increases and affects the effluent water quality, the cleaning pipe 14 is used to clean the tube wall. First, the sliding groove lock 162 is pressed down, and the gear bracket 15 located on the support base 161 slides along the sliding groove 16 to the buffer pad 163 under the action of gravity. During this process, the cable 17 pulls and reduces the descent speed, while the cleaning pipe 14 is inserted into the inclined tube 4. The gear motor 6 drives the driving gear 7 to rotate, the driving gear 7 drives the driven gear 8 to rotate, and the driven gear 8 drives the cleaning pipe 14 to rotate. High-pressure water enters the cleaning pipe 14 through the high-pressure water tank 11 and the main pipe 12, and is sprayed out through the micro-holes 143 to clean the wall of the inclined tube 4. If necessary, a detachable brush 144 is used to clean the tube wall together. After cleaning is completed, the gear motor 6 is stopped. Under the traction of the cable motor 19 and the cable 17, the gear bracket 15 rises along the slide 16, passes over the slide lock 162, and then falls onto the bracket seat 161.
[0039] The sludge in the inclined tube 4 is cleaned using a combination of high-pressure water cleaning and rotating brush cleaning. The cleaning tube rotates under the action of gears, and its end has micro-holes, allowing the sprayed high-pressure water to effectively clean the tube wall. Depending on the sludge condition of the tube wall, it can be cleaned directly with the cleaning tube, or a detachable brush attachment can be installed for more efficient cleaning, avoiding the labor costs of traditional manual cleaning.
[0040] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in its shape or structure, any technical solution that falls within the scope of the claims of this utility model shall be protected by this utility model.
