Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sludge treatment technology, specifically a sludge discharge device for flocculation sedimentation tanks. Background Technology

[0002] In wastewater treatment plants, flocculation sedimentation tanks are key equipment for solid-liquid separation during wastewater treatment. By adding flocculants, suspended particles in the water are aggregated into larger flocs and settled to the bottom of the tank, thereby purifying the water. The sludge after sedimentation needs to be discharged from the sedimentation tank, so a sludge discharge device is required.

[0003] A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN221981635U discloses a peripheral drive sludge scraper for sewage treatment, including a sewage tank. A circular track is installed on the outside of the sewage tank and is coaxial with the sewage tank. The sludge suction assembly is installed on the circular track via a moving frame. An active motor drives the crossbeam to rotate periodically, so that the sludge scraping assembly scrapes the sludge from the inner wall of the sewage tank. At the same time, the sludge suction assembly extracts the scraped sludge. Through the structure of the scraper, the sludge scraped by the scraper will move along the scraper to the opening of the sludge suction pipe until it is extracted. Since it is periodic forward and reverse rotation, there is no need to worry about wiring issues. At the same time, the sewage discharge pipe can be made of corrugated pipe to cooperate with the rotation. The overall sludge scraping and suction is stable and effective.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some problems. In practical applications, during the flocculation and sedimentation process, some substances may adhere to the bottom of the tank, forming stubborn stains. Because of their strong adhesion to the bottom of the tank, the scraper cannot effectively remove these stains, which will reduce the sludge removal effect. Therefore, a sludge removal device for flocculation sedimentation tank is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a sludge removal device for a flocculation sedimentation tank includes a sedimentation tank body 1. A support frame 2 is installed on the top side of the sedimentation tank body 1, and the support frame 2 penetrates the sedimentation tank body 1. A drive motor 3 is installed at the middle of the top side of the support frame 2. A rotating shaft 4 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 3. An installation frame 5 is installed on the outer side of the bottom end of the rotating shaft 4. An active bevel gear 6 is installed inside the installation frame 5 on the outer side of the bottom end of the rotating shaft 4. A rotating shaft 7 is rotatably installed through one side of the installation frame 5. A driven bevel gear 8 is installed at one end of the rotating shaft 7. The active bevel gear 6 and the driven bevel gear 8 mesh with each other. A cleaning roller 9 is installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 7. A hard brush 10 is installed on the outer side of the cleaning roller 9. An installation cavity 15 is installed at the top end of the rotating shaft 4. Four connecting rods 11 are equidistantly installed at both ends of the bottom side of the installation cavity 15. A first scraper 12 is installed on the bottom side of each connecting rod 11.

[0024] The hard bristle brush 10 is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1, and the first scraper 12 is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1. The first scraper 12 at both ends of the mounting cavity 15 is symmetrically arranged.

[0025] Three support legs 25 are equidistantly installed on the bottom side of the sedimentation tank body 1. A control panel 26 is installed on one side of the sedimentation tank body 1. The control panel 26 is electrically connected to the electrical components inside the device and is used to control the operation of the electrical components inside the device. During operation, in practical applications, some substances may adhere to the bottom of the tank during the flocculation and sedimentation process, forming stubborn stains. Due to their strong adhesion to the bottom of the tank, the scraper cannot effectively remove these stains, thus reducing the sludge removal effect. After the water at the top of the sedimentation tank after flocculation is discharged, the drive motor 3 starts, and its output end drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 4 rotates, the active bevel gear 6 rotates accordingly. Since the active bevel gear 6 and the driven bevel gear 8 mesh with each other, the rotation of the active bevel gear 6 drives the driven bevel gear 8 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 7 connected to the driven bevel gear 8 to rotate. The cleaning roller 9 installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 7 rotates accordingly, and the hard brush 10 on the outside of the cleaning roller 9 also rotates accordingly. The hard brush 10 contacts the bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1 to clean the stubborn stains on the bottom of the sedimentation tank. At the same time, the mounting cavity 15 also rotates accordingly, and the first scraper 12 installed at both ends of the bottom side of the mounting cavity 15 through the connecting rod 11 moves accordingly. The first scraper 12 contacts the bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1, which can scrape the sludge flocculated at the edge of the sedimentation tank towards the center position, which is convenient for subsequent discharge.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, two toothed drive wheels 16 are installed on the outer side of the top end of the rotating shaft 4 inside the mounting cavity 15. Two connecting shafts 17 are symmetrically rotated at both ends of the mounting cavity 15. A toothed driven wheel 18 is installed on the top end of each connecting shaft 17 inside the mounting cavity 15. The toothed drive wheels 16 and the toothed driven wheels 18 at both ends are connected by internal toothed belts 19.

[0027] A cleaning brush 20 is installed on the outer side of the connecting shaft 17, and a second scraper 21 is installed on one side of the mounting cavity 15. The cleaning brush 20 and the second scraper 21 are both in contact with the inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1, and the cleaning brush 20 and the second scraper 21 are in contact with the bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1 but are not connected.

[0028] A sludge discharge pipe 22 is installed on the bottom side of the sedimentation tank body 1, and a sludge suction pump 23 is also installed on the bottom side of the sedimentation tank body 1. One end of the sludge discharge pipe 22 is connected to the input end of the sludge suction pump 23, and the output end of the sludge suction pump 23 is connected to a sludge discharge pipe 24. During operation, some flocs and impurities will adhere to the inner wall of the sedimentation tank during sedimentation. If not cleaned in time, these adhered substances will accumulate, which will reduce the effective volume of the sedimentation tank and decrease its treatment capacity. Furthermore, the impurities accumulated over a long period of time will breed bacteria and microorganisms, causing secondary pollution to the water quality and affecting subsequent sewage treatment. As a result, the two toothed drive wheels 16 rotate together with the rotating shaft 4. The toothed drive wheels 16 and the toothed driven wheels 18 at both ends are connected by internal toothed belts 19. The rotation of the toothed drive wheels 16 drives the toothed driven wheels 18 to rotate through the internal toothed belts 19, so the connecting shaft 17 will also rotate. The cleaning brush 20 installed on the outside of the connecting shaft 17 will rotate accordingly to clean the inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1. The second scraper 21 also moves with the rotation of the mounting cavity 15. The second scraper 21 contacts the inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1 to further clean the inner wall of the sedimentation tank and ensure the cleanliness of the inner wall of the sedimentation tank.

[0029] After the sludge is scraped to the center of the bottom of the sedimentation tank, the suction pump 23 is started. When the suction pump 23 is working, the sludge in the sedimentation tank is sucked in from the sludge discharge pipe 22 under its suction force. The sucked-in sludge is discharged through the sludge discharge pipe 24 after passing through the suction pump 23, thus realizing the sewage discharge function of the entire sludge discharge device.

[0030] Working principle: After the water at the top of the flocculated sedimentation tank is discharged, the drive motor 3 starts and its output end drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 4 rotates, the active bevel gear 6 rotates accordingly. Since the active bevel gear 6 and the driven bevel gear 8 mesh with each other, the rotation of the active bevel gear 6 drives the driven bevel gear 8 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 7 connected to the driven bevel gear 8 to rotate. The cleaning roller 9 installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 7 rotates accordingly, and the hard brush 10 on the outside of the cleaning roller 9 also rotates accordingly. The hard brush 10 contacts the bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1 and cleans the stubborn stains on the bottom of the sedimentation tank. At the same time, the mounting cavity 15 also rotates accordingly. The first scraper 12 installed at both ends of the bottom side of the mounting cavity 15 through the connecting rod 11 moves accordingly. The first scraper 12 contacts the bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1 and can scrape the flocculated sludge at the edge of the sedimentation tank towards the center position for easy subsequent discharge.

[0031] Two toothed drive wheels 16 rotate together with the rotating shaft 4. The toothed drive wheels 16 and the toothed driven wheels 18 at both ends are connected by internal toothed belts 19. The rotation of the toothed drive wheels 16 drives the toothed driven wheels 18 to rotate through the internal toothed belts 19, so the connecting shaft 17 will also rotate. The cleaning brush 20 installed on the outside of the connecting shaft 17 will rotate accordingly to clean the inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1. The second scraper 21 also moves with the rotation of the mounting cavity 15. The second scraper 21 contacts the inner wall of the sedimentation tank body 1 to further clean the inner wall of the sedimentation tank and ensure the cleanliness of the inner wall of the sedimentation tank.

[0032] After the sludge is scraped to the center of the bottom of the sedimentation tank, the suction pump 23 is started. When the suction pump 23 is working, the sludge in the sedimentation tank is sucked in from the sludge discharge pipe 22 under its suction force. The sucked-in sludge is discharged through the sludge discharge pipe 24 after passing through the suction pump 23, thus realizing the sewage discharge function of the entire sludge discharge device.
