Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dehydration systems in thermal power plants, specifically to a secondary sedimentation device for a sedimentation tank in a dehydration chamber system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the dewatering system in thermal power plants generally uses two thickeners and one buffer tank to filter and settle the overflow sludge from the dewatering tank. The filtered sludge from the buffer tank is then pumped back to the boiler using a slurry pump, forming a cycle. The sludge remaining after filtration in the two thickeners settles at the bottom. A slurry pump installed at the bottom of the thickener is used to pump the sludge from the thickener back to the dewatering tank. Due to long-term operation and sedimentation, the bottom slurry pump cannot remove the sludge from the bottom of the thickener, causing blockages. This requires a large amount of manpower and time to clean the inside, resulting in environmental pollution and posing a significant threat to the safe operation of the system. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a secondary sedimentation device for a sedimentation tank in a dehydration chamber system to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a secondary sedimentation device for a sedimentation tank in a dehydration chamber system, comprising a thickening tank, wherein a scraping mechanism is provided inside the thickening tank, and a sedimentation mechanism is provided at the bottom of the thickening tank.

[0005] The sedimentation mechanism includes a backwash pipe, which is fixedly connected between two thickening tanks. A second valve is fixedly connected to both sides of the backwash pipe. A water supply pipe is provided at the bottom of the backwash pipe, which is fixedly connected between the two thickening tanks. A first valve is fixedly connected to both sides of the water supply pipe.

[0006] Preferably, a first connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the water conveying pipeline, a slurry pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first connecting pipe, and a second connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slurry pump. The second connecting pipe is designed to be curved. The slurry pump can transport the slurry at the bottom of the thickening tank.

[0007] Preferably, a dehydration chamber is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting pipe, and a support frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the dehydration chamber. The dehydration chamber separates the water in the material from the solid particles through sedimentation, filtration and other methods, reducing the moisture content of materials such as coal slime and ash, which facilitates subsequent transportation, storage and processing.

[0008] Preferably, the thickening tank is circular in design, and two thickening tanks are provided, which are arranged symmetrically. The thickening tanks use gravity sedimentation to cause the solid particles in the suspension to settle to the bottom of the tank and separate from the liquid.

[0009] Preferably, the scraping mechanism includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly connected to the top of the thickener. A rotating rod is fixedly connected in the middle of the fixed frame, and a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod. The motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the fixed frame. The scraper can remove debris from the bottom of the thickener. The debris will interfere with the solid-liquid separation process in the thickener. Scraping away the debris at the bottom can make the solid particles in the slurry settle more fully, increase the underflow concentration, and make the thickened slurry or sludge easier to process later. The scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod and is located at the bottom of the thickener.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a secondary sedimentation device for a sedimentation tank in a dewatering chamber system, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The secondary sedimentation device of the sedimentation tank in this dewatering chamber system has a small safety hazard for personnel during construction due to the addition of external pipelines. Through modification and optimization, the slurry at the bottom of the thickening tank can be repeatedly sedimented and filtered, and finally recycled.

[0012] 2. The secondary sedimentation device in the sedimentation tank of this dewatering chamber system can remove debris from the bottom of the thickening tank using a scraper. Debris can interfere with the solid-liquid separation process in the thickening tank. Scraping away the debris from the bottom allows solid particles in the slurry to settle more fully, increasing the underflow concentration and making the thickened slurry or sludge easier to process in subsequent steps. For example, in a mineral processing plant, it can result in a higher grade of concentrate and a reduced moisture content, which is beneficial for subsequent smelting and other processes.

[0019] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] Combination Figures 1 to 2 -3, A secondary sedimentation device for a sedimentation tank in a dehydration chamber system, comprising a thickening tank 1, a scraping mechanism 3 installed inside the thickening tank 1, and a sedimentation mechanism 2 installed at the bottom of the thickening tank 1.

[0023] The sedimentation mechanism 2 includes a backwash pipe 29, which is fixedly connected between the two thickening tanks 1. A second valve 28 is fixedly connected to both sides of the backwash pipe 29. A water supply pipe 27 is provided at the bottom of the backwash pipe 29, which is fixedly connected between the two thickening tanks 1. A first valve 21 is fixedly connected to both sides of the water supply pipe 27.

[0024] Furthermore, a first connecting pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom middle of the water conveying pipe 27, a slurry pump 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first connecting pipe 22, and a second connecting pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slurry pump 26. The second connecting pipe 25 is designed to be curved. The slurry pump 26 can be used to transport the slurry at the bottom of the thickening tank 1.

[0025] Furthermore, a dewatering chamber is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting pipe 25, and a support frame 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the dewatering chamber. The dewatering chamber separates the water in the material from the solid particles through sedimentation, filtration and other methods, reducing the moisture content of materials such as coal slime and ash, which facilitates subsequent transportation, storage and processing.

[0026] Furthermore, the thickening tank 1 is circular in design, and there are two thickening tanks 1 arranged symmetrically. Through gravity sedimentation, the solid particles in the suspension settle to the bottom of the tank and are separated from the liquid.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] See Figure 4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the scraping mechanism 3 further includes a fixed frame 33, which is fixedly connected to the top of the thickening tank 1. A rotating rod 31 is fixedly connected in the middle of the fixed frame 33, and a motor 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 31. The motor 32 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the fixed frame 33. The scraper 34 can achieve the purpose of scraping away debris at the bottom of the thickening tank 1. The debris will interfere with the solid-liquid separation process in the thickening tank 1. Scraping away the debris at the bottom can make the solid particles in the slurry settle more fully, increase the underflow concentration, and make the thickened slurry or sludge easier to process later. The scraper 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 31 and is located at the bottom of the thickening tank 1.

[0029] In actual operation and industrial production, the thickener 1 is a key piece of equipment for solid-liquid separation. Its operating efficiency and separation effect have a crucial impact on subsequent production processes. In order to further improve the working performance of the thickener 1 and solve the problem of slurry treatment in traditional processes, we have implemented a series of targeted modifications to the thickener 1.

[0030] One of the core measures of this renovation is to add a large-diameter water conveying pipe 27 at the bottom of the thickening tank 1. This design greatly improves the slurry conveying capacity. With the use of the slurry pump 26, the slurry at the bottom of the thickening tank 1 can be quickly and efficiently transported back to the dewatering chamber to achieve secondary sedimentation. This not only helps to improve the sedimentation effect, but also provides better conditions for subsequent dewatering treatment.

[0031] Considering that slurry is prone to accumulate in the pipeline, causing blockage and affecting the normal operation of the system, we installed a backwashing device inside the newly laid pipeline. The backwashing pipeline 29 continuously flushes the slurry at the bottom of the thickening tank 1 with a continuous flow of water, ensuring that the slurry is always in a flowing state, avoiding the pipeline blockage problem caused by slurry deposition, and effectively ensuring the stable operation of the entire conveying system.

[0032] In addition, to address the interference of debris at the bottom of the thickener 1 on the solid-liquid separation effect, we equipped the thickener 1 with a debris scraping device. This device consists of a motor 32, a rotating rod 31, and a scraper 34. When it is necessary to clean the bottom of the thickener 1, the motor 32 is started, which drives the rotating rod 31 to rotate smoothly, thereby driving the scraper 34 to scrape away the debris at the bottom of the tank. These debris, such as larger particles of impurities and lumps formed by sedimentation, will seriously interfere with the solid-liquid separation process in the thickener 1. After scraping away the debris at the bottom, the solid particles in the slurry can settle more fully, thereby significantly increasing the underflow concentration.

[0033] The optimized thickener 1 has shown significant advantages in practical applications. Taking a mineral processing plant as an example, the solid content of the slurry underflow treated by thickener 1 is greatly increased, the grade of the concentrate is higher, and the moisture content is significantly reduced, which lays a good foundation for subsequent smelting and other processes. It not only improves product quality, but also effectively reduces production costs and improves production efficiency.
