[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses an aerobic fermentation device for sludge, comprising a fermentation tank 1, an air compressor 2, an aeration pipe 3, and an annular pipe 4. The fermentation tank 1 is equipped with support legs 7, an exhaust pipe 8 and a feeding pipe 9 at the top, and a discharge pipe 10 at the bottom with a valve 11. The air compressor 2 is located at the top of the fermentation tank 1, and the aeration pipe 3 is located at the air outlet of the air compressor 2. The annular pipe 4 is connected to the aeration pipe 3 and located inside the fermentation tank 1, with an air inlet 13 on the annular pipe 4. The device also includes a lifting assembly 5 and a stirring assembly 6. The stirring assembly 6 consists of three sets arranged in a circular array. The lower end of the fermentation tank 1 is inverted conical in shape. The valve 11 is a solenoid valve.
[0027] The lifting assembly 5 includes a lifting cylinder 14, a rotating shaft 15, and a spiral blade 16. The upper end of the lifting cylinder 14 is fixed to the top of the fermentation tank 1. The bottom of the lifting cylinder 14 has an opening 17, and the upper part of the lifting cylinder 14 has a discharge port 18. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably mounted on the top of the fermentation tank 1, passes through the lifting cylinder 14, and exits through the opening 17. The spiral blade 16 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 15. The stirring assembly 6 is located inside the fermentation tank 1 and outside the lifting cylinder 14. The bottom of the fermentation tank 1 has a support rod 26, and the lower end of the lifting cylinder 14 is fixed to the support rod 26. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 15 extends downward into the discharge pipe 10, and the part of the rotating shaft 15 located inside the discharge pipe 10 has a stirring rod 25.
[0028] The stirring assembly 6 includes a stirring shaft 19 and stirring blades 20. The stirring shaft 19 is rotatably mounted on the top of the fermentation tank 1 and extends downward into the fermentation tank 1. The stirring blades 20 are mounted on the stirring shaft 19 and are arranged in several groups along the length and circumference of the stirring shaft 19.
[0029] The fermenter 1 is provided with a mounting base 12 on the top, and a motor 21 is provided on the mounting base 12. The top of the rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 21. A first pulley 22 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 15, and a second pulley 23 is sleeved on each of the three sets of stirring shafts 19. A transmission belt 24 is sleeved on the first pulley 22 and the second pulley 23.
[0030] In practical use, the exhaust pipe 8 is connected to an external waste gas purification device. Sludge is added to the fermentation tank 1 through the feeding pipe 9. Then, the motor 21 and air compressor 2 are started. The air compressor 2 delivers air to the fermentation tank 1 through the aeration pipe 3 and the annular pipe 4, providing a good oxygen environment for the sludge. The motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades 16. The spiral blades 16 lift the sludge from the bottom layer to the top, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency. The rotation of the rotating shaft 15 also drives the first pulley 22 and the stirring rod 25. The first pulley 22 drives multiple sets of second pulleys 23 via the transmission belt 24. These second pulleys 23 simultaneously drive multiple sets of stirring shafts 19, which in turn drive the stirring blades 20. The stirring blades 20 agitate the sludge, helping to increase the oxygen content and reduce the rate of water evaporation in the sludge. The waste gas generated during fermentation is discharged through the exhaust pipe 8 and purified by the external waste gas purification device. The fermented material can be discharged through the discharge pipe 10. During the discharge process, the sludge can be stirred by the stirring rod 25, which can prevent the discharge pipe 10 from being blocked.
[0031] In summary, this solution includes a lifting component 5, which facilitates the lifting of the bottom sludge to the upper layer, thereby promoting better sludge fermentation; a stirring component 6, which further agitates the sludge, thereby increasing the oxygen content and the rate of water evaporation in the sludge; and a stirring rod 25, which agitates the sludge during discharge, thus preventing blockage of the discharge pipe 10.
