Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sludge treatment, and in particular to a sludge treatment hopper. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing discharge of urban industrial wastewater and domestic sewage, the volume of sewage treatment is also growing, leading to a sharp increase in sludge production. While using physical, chemical, and biological methods to treat sewage, a large amount of excess sludge is generated. After dewatering and drying, the sludge from sewage treatment plants needs to be transported off-site for disposal. The main methods for sludge disposal are landfill, agricultural use, drying, and incineration. Currently, most sewage treatment plants only have sludge storage areas. If the sludge cannot be transported off-site for timely treatment, it can easily cause secondary pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to temporarily store the sludge before transporting it off-site, requiring a sludge treatment hopper.
[0003] Existing sludge storage silos typically have storage functions, but the sludge is not dewatered before storage. Current dewatering methods mostly use large-area natural drying, which occupies a large area, but the vertical sludge thickness cannot be too thick, resulting in low dewatering efficiency and making it unsuitable for dewatering large amounts of sludge.
[0004] Based on this, this application provides a sludge treatment hopper. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this process, to ensure clarity and convenience, we may exaggerate the width of lines or the size of constituent elements in the drawings.
[0027] Furthermore, the terms used below are defined based on the functions of this utility model and may vary depending on the user's or operator's intent or convention. Therefore, these terms are defined based on the entire contents of this specification.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a sludge treatment hopper includes a treatment chamber 1, a support foot on the treatment chamber 1, a shaking module 2 inside the treatment chamber 1, an opening and closing module 3 inside the treatment chamber 1 located below the shaking module 2, and a control module 4 inside the treatment chamber 1 for controlling the working state of the shaking module 2 and the opening and closing module 3.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the sludge to be processed is put into the processing chamber 1 during the operation. During the operation, the control module 4 and the opening and closing module 3 cooperate with each other to control the conveying status of the sludge in the processing chamber 1. This ensures that the amount of sludge conveyed during the sludge processing process meets the processing standards. The control module 4 and the shaking module 2 cooperate with each other to improve the efficiency of sludge conveying and prevent large pieces of sludge from adhering to the inner wall of the processing chamber 1, which would affect subsequent processing and equipment maintenance.
[0030] The control module 4 includes a fixed frame 41 installed on the inner wall of the processing chamber 1, a control shell 42 installed in the middle of the fixed frame 41, a drive unit 43 for adjusting the working state of the shaking module 2 installed inside the control shell 42, and an adjustment unit 44 for adjusting the working state of the opening and closing module 3 installed on the lower inner wall of the control shell 42.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the working state between the shaking module 2 and the closing module 3 can be controlled through the cooperation between the drive unit 43 and the adjustment unit 44 during operation. When the closing module 3 is in the closed state, the sludge is temporarily stored in the treatment chamber 1. In this state, the shaking module 2 is also in a stopped state. When the adjustment unit 44 controls the closing module 3 to be in the open state during operation, the adjustment unit 44 simultaneously controls the shaking module 2 to be adjusted to the ready state. When the sludge in the treatment chamber 1 does not fall smoothly by natural means, the drive unit 43 controls the shaking module 2 to start working, so that the sludge in the treatment chamber 1 can fall out of the treatment chamber 1 quickly.
[0032] The opening and closing module 3 includes mounting grooves evenly opened along the inner wall of the control shell 42. Guide rings 31 are provided on the outer wall of the control shell 42 and the inner wall of the processing chamber 1. An opening and closing frame 33 is provided in the mounting groove through a pin. An opening and closing plate 32 is connected to the opening and closing frame 33. The opening and closing frame 33 is connected to the adjustment unit 44. The opening and closing plate 32 is wrapped with a rubber layer, which can increase the sealing between the opening and closing plates 32 after closing.
[0033] The adjustment unit 44 includes an adjustment cylinder 441 disposed on the inner wall of the control housing 42, an adjustment plate 442 mounted on the adjustment cylinder 441, and adjustment frames 443 evenly disposed on the adjustment plate 442.
[0034] The opening and closing frame 33 has a U-shaped structure and symmetrical sliding grooves are provided on the opening and closing frame 33. The adjusting frame 443 is located inside the opening and closing frame 33 and is provided with a sliding rod, which is slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening and closing plate 32 is in the open state under the action of gravity in the initial state. Before the sludge is to be input into the treatment chamber 1, the regulating cylinder 441 is activated to move upward. During this process, the opening and closing frame 33 is synchronously driven to adjust its angle through the mutual cooperation between the regulating plate 442 and the regulating frame 443. During the movement of the opening and closing frame 33, the opening and closing plate 32 is closed simultaneously. During this process, the sliding rod on the regulating frame 443 slides in the sliding groove on the opening and closing frame 33. During this process, the mutual cooperation between the sliding groove and the sliding rod can limit the opening and closing plate 32 and ensure the stability of the opening and closing plate 32 during the movement.
[0036] The shaking module 2 includes a shaking plate 21 mounted on the processing chamber 1 via a pin. A rectangular groove is provided at the lower end of the shaking plate 21. A drive rod 22 is mounted in the rectangular groove via a pin. A drive hole is provided on the control housing 42 to cooperate with the drive rod 22. The drive rod 22 slides through the drive hole. The drive rod 22 located inside the control housing 42 is connected to the drive unit 43.
[0037] The drive unit 43 includes a motor 431 mounted on the inner wall of the control housing 42 via a motor 431 base. A drive tube 432 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 431. A drive block 433 is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive tube 432. The drive block 433 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the processing chamber 1. The drive rod 22 is slidably connected to the drive block 433. A mating part that cooperates with the drive block 433 is provided inside the drive tube 432. Fixing holes are evenly opened on the inner wall of the drive block 433.
[0038] The drive block 433 has a limiting groove, the drive rod 22 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove, the drive block 433 has a support groove with an annular structure, and the inner wall of the processing chamber 1 is uniformly provided with fixing rods 434 along its circumference, and the fixing rods 434 are slidably disposed in the support groove.
[0039] The docking component includes docking holes evenly spaced along the circumference of the drive tube 432. A support spring rod 435 is installed on the inner wall of the drive tube 432. A control post 436 is installed at the lower end of the support spring rod 435. A connecting rod is provided at the lower end of the control post 436. A control rod 437 is slidably disposed in the docking hole. The control rod 437 is slidably connected to the control post 436.
[0040] The control column 436 is provided with a guide groove, and the control rod 437 is slidably connected to the guide groove. The control column 436 is a boss structure.
[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, when the opening and closing plate 32 is rotated open, the adjusting plate 442 simultaneously squeezes the connecting rod. The squeezed connecting rod and the supporting spring rod 435 cooperate to drive the control column 436 to move from bottom to top. During this process, the control column 436 changes the contact position with the control rod 437. As the diameter of the contact position between the control column 436 and the control rod 437 increases, the control rod 437 is inserted into the fixing hole, completing the preparation work before the vibration module 2 works. When the vibration module 2 needs to work, the motor 431 is started. During operation, the motor 431 drives the vibration plate 21 to perform reciprocating vibration operation through the cooperation between the drive tube 432, the drive block 433 and the drive rod 22, thereby accelerating the speed at which sludge is discharged from the treatment chamber 1.
[0042] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
