[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a thermal energy circulation structure for a sludge dewatering device with waste heat recovery, including a heat exchange mechanism for recovering working waste heat within the dewatering machine body. The dewatering machine body is a worm gear type dewatering device, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1As shown, a dewatering tank is provided on the upper part of the dewatering machine body. The dewatering tank is a relatively closed tank structure. To facilitate sludge feeding, a feed inlet is provided on the upper part of the dewatering tank. A drive motor 8 is provided on the side of the dewatering tank. A conical screen cylinder 9 is provided inside the dewatering tank. A spiral worm gear is installed inside the conical screen cylinder 9 through the drive motor 8. During operation, the drive motor 8 drives the spiral worm gear to complete the directional conveying of sludge material. To facilitate the control of the closure of the conical screen cylinder 9, a pair of push cylinders 10 are provided at the rear of the dewatering tank. A sealing disc is installed at the push rod end of the push cylinder 10. During dewatering, the sealing disc can be used to seal the port of the conical screen cylinder 9, and the sludge discharge can be controlled.

[0026] The heat exchange mechanism is installed inside the dehydration tank base. The heat exchange mechanism includes a heat-conducting top plate 1, a heat-conducting bottom plate 2, a heat exchange bend 3, and an auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4. Both the heat-conducting top plate 1 and the heat-conducting bottom plate 2 can be made of copper. (See attached...) Figure 2 As shown, the heat-conducting base plate 2 is fixedly installed to the inner bottom of the dehydration tank base with bolts, and the heat-conducting top plate 1 is fixedly installed to the upper part of the heat-conducting base plate 2 with bolts. The heat exchange elbow 3 is a copper elbow, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown, the heat exchange bend 3 is continuously bent. To facilitate the connection and installation of the heat exchange bend 3, bend mounting grooves are provided on the joint surfaces of the heat-conducting top plate 1 and the heat-conducting bottom plate 2. The heat exchange bend 3 is fixedly embedded in the inner side of the bend mounting groove. By utilizing the heat exchange bend 3 set between the heat-conducting plate layers in conjunction with the circulating water flow, heat exchange and recovery can be efficiently completed. To facilitate the circulation of cold water, inlet and outlet are respectively provided at both ends of the heat exchange bend 3. Through circulating heat exchange, cold water can be heated for use as production water in the plant area.

[0027] The auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4 is made of aluminum and can be detachably installed on the upper part of the heat-conducting top plate 1, as detailed in the attached document. Figure 4As shown, to facilitate the connection and installation of the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4, a plate base mounting groove 5 is provided in the upper middle part of the heat-conducting top plate 1. The auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4 is fitted into the inner side of the plate base mounting groove 5 and fixed to the heat-conducting top plate 1 by bolts. To improve the heat conduction efficiency, heat exchange fins 6 are provided on the upper part of the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4. The heat exchange fins 6 are evenly fixed on the upper part of the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4 at equal intervals, adopting a heat exchange structure of heat plate conduction. The heat energy circulation structure is set in the lower inner part of the dehydration box seat of the dehydrator body. The auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4 is a split type. The installation structure is convenient for disassembly and assembly, facilitating later cleaning and maintenance of the device. Heat exchange fins 6 are installed on the upper part, with their distribution direction aligned with the water flow direction. This not only directs the water flow but also increases the thermal contact area between the fins and the water, enabling efficient heat transfer and recovery from the wastewater and improving the device's heat recovery efficiency. To facilitate the discharge of separated wastewater, drain openings 7 are provided through the middle of the heat-conducting top plate 1, heat-conducting bottom plate 2, and auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4. These drain openings 7 are connected to the drain pipe at the bottom of the dewatering tank.

[0028] Working principle or structural principle: During operation, sludge is fed into the upper part of the dewatering tank. Simultaneously, driven by the drive motor 8, the worm gear rotates at a constant speed inside the conical screen cylinder 9. At this time, the conical screen cylinder 9 is in a closed state under the pushing force of the pushing cylinder 10. The sludge entering the conical screen cylinder 9 is squeezed towards the constricted part at the rear of the conical screen cylinder 9 by the rotation of the worm gear. During the movement, the sludge is efficiently squeezed by the narrowing of the inner cavity, causing the water in the sludge to separate and flow out from the filter holes on the periphery of the conical screen cylinder 9. The flowing water... The liquid flows through the heat exchange fins 6 above the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4. During the process, the heat in the liquid is conducted and stored to the heat-conducting plate side through the heat exchange fins 6. At the same time, cold water enters through one end of the heat exchange bend 3 and circulates within the heat exchange bend 3. The cold water exchanges and recovers the heat in the heat-conducting plate. The drain port of the dewatering machine opens periodically, allowing the liquid after heat exchange to be discharged and recovered through the drain opening 7. Then, the push cylinder 10 moves backward, causing the rear of the conical screen cylinder 9 to open, discharging the sludge and completing the treatment.

[0029] In summary, this thermal energy circulation structure adopts a heat exchange structure with a heat plate conduction. The thermal energy circulation structure is located on the lower inner side of the dehydration tank of the dehydrator. While guiding the flow of the separated water, the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4 can efficiently conduct heat in the water and store it through the heat-conducting plate structure. The heat exchange bend 3 set between the heat-conducting plate layers, in conjunction with the circulating water flow, can efficiently complete heat exchange and recovery. Furthermore, the auxiliary heat-conducting plate 4 adopts a split installation structure, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and facilitates the later cleaning and maintenance of the device. Heat exchange fins 6 are set on the upper part. The distribution direction of the heat exchange fins 6 is the same as that of the water flow direction. While guiding the water flow in a directional manner, it can increase the heat conduction contact area between itself and the water, which can realize the efficient conduction and recovery of heat in the wastewater and improve the heat recovery efficiency of the device.
