DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Clearly, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the present application. Figure 1 The drawings in the present application Figure 2 The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] As Figures 1-2 shown, the present application is a sealing device suitable for a closed sludge tank, which is installed at the connection between a driving rod 1 and a sludge tank 2, and comprises a sealing sleeve 3, a sealing element 4, a pressing block 5 and a sealing nut 6.

[0034] The sealing sleeve 3 is fixedly installed at the side wall of the sludge tank 2 and is sleeved on the driving rod 1; the outer wall surface of the sealing sleeve 3 is provided with external threads; it should be noted that the fixed installation form of the sealing sleeve 3 is not limited, for example, it can be welded, bolted and connected, etc. In the present embodiment, the sealing sleeve 3 is welded and fixed at the side wall of the sludge tank 2, which has good welding and fixing stability.

[0035] The sealing element 4 is installed between the driving rod 1 and the sealing sleeve 3, and the first end 40 of the sealing element 4 abuts against the side wall of the sludge tank 2. In the present embodiment, the sealing element 4 is made of rubber material. The sealing element 4 made of rubber material can be compressed between the driving rod 1 and the sealing sleeve 3 to fill the small gap therebetween. Due to the elasticity of rubber, it can adapt to different assembly tolerances and deformations under working conditions, effectively preventing leakage of media such as sludge and sewage from between the driving rod 1 and the sealing sleeve 3, and ensuring the sealing effect. At the same time, in the environment of the sludge tank 2, there are various chemicals and microorganisms. The rubber material has certain corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of acidic and alkaline substances and microorganisms in the sludge, prolonging the service life of the sealing element 4 and reducing the maintenance cost and workload caused by frequent replacement of the sealing element.

[0036] The pressing block 5 is installed between the driving rod 1 and the sealing sleeve 3, and one end of the pressing block 5 abuts against the second end 41 of the sealing element 4 to realize the compression of the sealing element 4.

[0037] The sealing nut 6 comprises a threaded connection part 60 and a locking part 61 perpendicular to the threaded connection part 60; the threaded connection part 60 is provided with internal threads and is sleeved on the outer wall surface of the sealing sleeve 3 and is in threaded connection with the sealing sleeve 3; the locking part 61 abuts against the other end of the pressing block 5.

[0038] The sealing device suitable for the closed sludge tank in the utility model, the threaded connection part 60 of the sealing nut 6 is screwed with the outer wall surface of the sealing sleeve 3, and the position of the sealing nut 6 on the sealing sleeve 3 can be adjusted by rotating the sealing nut 6. When the sealing nut 6 is tightened, the locking part 61 thereof will exert pressure on the pressing block 5, so that the pressing block 5 further presses the sealing element 4, the sealing element 4 can be effectively ensured to be always in a compressed state, so that the gap between the driving rod 1 and the sealing sleeve 3 can be better filled, the sealing effect is enhanced, and leakage of the medium in the sludge tank is prevented. Leakage into the sealing sleeve 3 can also be avoided, loss of the sealing element in the sealing sleeve 3 is avoided, and the service life of the sealing device is prolonged.

[0039] Meanwhile, the locking part 61 of the sealing nut 6 abuts against the other end of the pressing block 5, and together with the sealing sleeve 3, the pressing block 5 and the sealing element 4, a stable sealing structure is formed, which can resist the influence of factors such as pressure change inside the sludge tank 2 and vibration during equipment operation on the sealing effect, and ensure that the sealing device works stably for a long time in a complex working environment.

[0040] In addition, the threaded connection mode makes the installation and adjustment of the sealing nut 6 very convenient. During the installation process, the position of the sealing nut 6 can be accurately adjusted according to actual needs to achieve appropriate sealing pressure.

[0041] Further, in some specific embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-2 The sealing device further comprises a fixed plate 7.

[0042] The fixed plate 7 is sleeved outside the driving rod 1 and fixedly installed at the side wall of the sludge tank 2 away from the sealing sleeve 3. Meanwhile, the side of the fixed plate 7 close to the side wall of the sludge tank 2 is a plane 70, and the plane 70 of the fixed plate 7 is installed on the side wall of the sludge tank 2, effectively preventing leakage of sludge and the like from the connection between the driving rod 1 and the side wall of the sludge tank 2, further improving the sealing integrity of the entire sealing device and minimizing the risk of leakage.

[0043] In the embodiment, the fixed plate 7 is made of hard plastic or metal. The fixed plate 7 can be fixed in various ways, such as welding, buckle connection, bolt connection and the like. In the embodiment, the fixed plate 7 is fixedly installed at the side wall of the sludge tank 2 through three bolts 71 uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction. The bolt connection mode makes the installation process of the fixed plate 7 relatively simple, facilitates installation and disassembly, and meanwhile, the three bolts 71 uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction can make the fixation of the fixed plate 7 on the side wall of the sludge tank 2 more uniform and stable, effectively avoiding deformation or loosening of the fixed plate 7 due to uneven local stress, so that the fixed plate 7 can better fit the side wall of the sludge tank 2 and ensure the sealing effect.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The annular flange 72 can increase the overall structural strength of the fixed plate 7, so that the fixed plate 7 can play a reinforcing role like a reinforcing rib when bearing pressure from the inside of the sludge tank 2 or external impact force, preventing the fixed plate 7 from deforming, thereby better maintaining the stability of the sealing device. At the same time, when there is a small amount of leakage or the sludge contacts the fixed plate 7, the annular flange 72 can play a certain guiding role to the sludge, reducing the risk of corrosion or damage to the drive rod 1 and the sealing device.

[0045] The annular flange 72 can increase the overall structural strength of the fixed plate 7, so that the fixed plate 7 can play a reinforcing role like a reinforcing rib when bearing pressure from the inside of the sludge tank 2 or external impact force, preventing the fixed plate 7 from deforming, thereby better maintaining the stability of the sealing device. At the same time, when there is a small amount of leakage or the sludge contacts the fixed plate 7, the annular flange 72 can play a certain guiding role to the sludge, reducing the risk of corrosion or damage to the drive rod 1 and the sealing device.

[0046] In addition, the bevel 73 can avoid the outer edge of the annular flange 72 being too sharp. During equipment installation, maintenance or daily operation, it prevents the operator from being scratched or damaged when colliding with the annular flange 72.

[0047] Further, the design of the pressure block 5 is refined in some specific embodiments, and the specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0048] The pressure block 5 includes a circular ring part 50 and a protruding part 51 arranged at one end of the circular ring part 50 away from the side wall of the sludge tank 2. The circular ring part 50 is arranged between the drive rod 1 and the sealing sleeve 3, and one end of the circular ring part 50 away from the protruding part 51 abuts against the second end 41 of the sealing element 4.

[0049] The outer wall surface of the protruding part 51 close to the circular ring part 50 abuts against one end of the sealing sleeve 3 away from the side wall of the sludge tank 2.

[0050] When the sealing nut 6 is tightened, the locking part 61 will exert pressure on the protruding part 51 in the pressure block 5, causing the circular ring part 50 in the pressure block 5 to further compress the sealing element 4, which can effectively ensure that the sealing element 4 is always in a compressed state, thereby better filling the gap between the drive rod 1 and the sealing sleeve 3, enhancing the sealing effect and preventing leakage of the medium in the sludge tank.

[0051] Meanwhile, due to the arrangement of the protruding part 51, when the locking part 61 of the sealing nut 6 applies pressure on the protruding part 51, the protruding part 51 can serve as a good pressure conducting structure, so that the pressure can be transmitted from the protruding part 51 to the annular part 50 in a more direct and concentrated manner, thereby ensuring that the annular part 50 can apply sufficient and effective pressure to the sealing element 4, so that the sealing element 4 can better play a sealing role. In addition, the outer wall surface of the protruding part 51 on the side close to the annular part 50 abuts against one end of the sealing sleeve 3 away from the side wall of the sludge pool 2, so that the abutting action of the protruding part 51 and the sealing sleeve 3 can prevent the displacement or tilting of the pressing block 5, thereby maintaining the stability of the entire sealing structure.

[0052] The utility model discloses on the basis of the above-mentioned sealing device suitable for closed sludge pool, further provide a kind of mud scraping device, it includes the sealing device suitable for above-mentioned closed sludge pool. The mud scraping device at least has all technical solutions of the above-mentioned sealing device suitable for closed sludge pool, at least has all advantages of the above-mentioned sealing device suitable for closed sludge pool, no longer repeat here.

[0053] The above is further described by specific embodiments, but it should be understood that the specific description here should not be understood as limiting the essence and scope of the utility model, and various modifications made by ordinary skilled in the art after reading the above embodiments are within the scope of the utility model.
