Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sludge drying technology, and more specifically, to a sludge drying device for sludge treatment. Background Technology
[0002] In existing sludge treatment technologies, the design and operation of sludge drying devices face several challenges. On one hand, if the drying device introduces hot air through top ventilation, the hot air may not effectively penetrate the sludge layer. This is because the viscosity and porosity of sludge can cause hot air to be blocked at the surface, preventing it from penetrating the interior and thus reducing drying efficiency. In this case, even if hot air is blown in, it may only move along the sludge surface rather than being evenly distributed throughout the entire sludge volume, resulting in uneven drying and affecting the sludge treatment effect.
[0003] On the other hand, if bottom-venting is chosen for sludge drying, there is a risk of clogging. During the sludge drying process, solid particles or flocculent materials may be generated, which can easily accumulate in the bottom-venting pipes, causing blockages. Once a blockage occurs, it not only affects the flow of hot air but may also require shutdown for cleaning, reducing the operating efficiency of the drying unit and increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, frequent blockages and cleaning operations also pose a threat to the health and safety of operators. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the adjusting mechanism includes a sealing disc and a spring, the sealing disc is slidably connected inside the one-way tube, one end of the spring is connected to the sealing disc, and the other end of the spring is connected inside the one-way tube. This design enables the adjusting mechanism to adjust according to the pressure of the hot air entering, ensuring the smooth entry of hot air and the drying effect of sludge.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the contact sleeve is provided with a pull rod, and the one-way tube is provided with a receiving sleeve, with the pull rod slidably connected to the receiving sleeve. This configuration enables the adjustment mechanism to achieve precise control of the hot air introduction process through the sliding connection between the pull rod and the receiving sleeve, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the drying process.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the contact sleeve is provided with a round head, and multiple vent holes are opened on the lower end face of the one-way tube. The round head allows hot air to enter the sludge evenly through the vent holes, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of drying.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the conveying mechanism includes a feed hopper and a receiving shell. The feed hopper is installed on an external device, and the two ends of the receiving shell are respectively connected to the drying shell and the feed hopper. This design of the conveying mechanism enables the sludge to be smoothly conveyed from the feed hopper to the drying shell, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of sludge treatment.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a central rod is rotatably provided inside the receiving shell, and multiple paddles are provided on the side wall of the central rod.

[0014] The present invention is further provided that the drying shell is provided with a discharge pipe. The design of the discharge pipe allows the dried sludge to be smoothly discharged from the drying shell, thus completing the sludge treatment process.
[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a sludge drying device for sludge treatment, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The design of the air intake mechanism ensures that hot air can be effectively introduced into the sludge for drying. The sludge is transported into the drying chamber by the motor-driven conveyor blades. At the same time, the one-way pipe and connecting pipe introduce hot air into the drying chamber. This design allows hot air to enter the sludge from the bottom, avoiding the obstruction problem when air is introduced from the top, thus improving the drying efficiency. Meanwhile, the receiving groove and sealing plate on the one-way pipe ensure that the hot air is introduced under appropriate pressure, preventing the backflow of sludge and ensuring the smooth progress of the drying process.
[0018] 2. The adjustment mechanism achieves precise control of the hot air introduction process through the cooperation of the sealing disc and the spring. When the pressure of the hot air exceeds the elastic force of the spring, the sealing disc will move downward, thereby releasing the seal between the contact sleeve and the receiving groove, allowing the hot air to be discharged through the receiving groove. This design allows the hot air introduction process to be adjusted according to the dryness of the sludge and the pressure of the hot air, improving the flexibility and controllability of the drying process.
[0019] 3. The conveying mechanism, through the cooperation of the feed hopper, receiving shell, and intermediate rod, achieves smooth sludge transport. The sludge is first put into the feed hopper, and then transported into the drying shell by the rotation of the receiving shell and intermediate rod, as well as the pushing of the paddle. This design makes the sludge transport process efficient and uniform, avoids the problem of sludge blockage during transport, and improves the overall efficiency of sludge treatment. At the same time, the rotation of the conveying blades and the belt drive ensure the continuous transport of sludge in the drying shell, further improving the drying effect.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5A sludge drying device includes a drying shell 1, which is installed on an external device. The drying shell 1 is equipped with an air intake mechanism, which includes a motor 2, a conveying blade 3, a one-way pipe 4, a connecting pipe 5, a conveying mechanism, a contact sleeve 6, and an adjusting mechanism. The motor 2 is mounted on a support frame, and the conveying blade 3 is installed on the extended end of the motor 2. The conveying blade 3 is rotatably connected inside the drying shell 1. Multiple one-way pipes 4 are provided, and each one-way pipe 4 is connected to the lower end face of the drying shell 1. One end of the connecting pipe 5 is connected to the external air intake device, and the other end of the connecting pipe 5 is connected to the multiple one-way pipes 4. The conveying mechanism is installed on the drying shell 1. A receiving groove 7 is opened on the one-way pipe 4, and a contact sleeve 6 is attached to the receiving sleeve 11. The adjusting mechanism is installed on the one-way pipe 4 and includes a sealing disc 8 and a spring 9. 8 is slidably connected inside the one-way tube 4. One end of the spring 9 is connected to the sealing disc 8, and the other end of the spring 9 is connected inside the one-way tube 4. The contact sleeve 6 is provided with a pull rod 10, and the one-way tube 4 is provided with a receiving sleeve 11. The pull rod 10 is slidably connected to the receiving sleeve 11. The contact sleeve 6 is provided with a round head 12. Multiple ventilation holes 13 are opened on the lower end face of the one-way tube 4. The conveying mechanism includes a feed hopper 14 and a receiving shell 15. The feed hopper 14 is installed on external equipment. The two ends of the receiving shell 15 are respectively connected to the drying shell 1 and the feed hopper 14. A middle rod 16 is rotatably provided inside the receiving shell 15. Multiple paddles 17 are provided on the side wall of the middle rod 16. A driven wheel 18 is provided on the middle rod 16. A driving wheel 19 is provided on the conveying blade 3. A belt 20 meshes with the driving wheel 19 and the driven wheel 18. A discharge pipe 21 is provided on the drying shell 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, when sludge needs to be dried, the sludge is first placed into the feed hopper 14, and then the motor 2 drives the conveyor blade 3 to rotate. The belt 20 drives the paddle 17 to transport the sludge into the drying shell 1. The conveyor blade 3 then drives the sludge to be transported in the drying shell 1, and hot air is introduced through the one-way pipe 4. The sludge is then dried from the bottom, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0031] More specifically, when hot air needs to be introduced, the contact sleeve 6 and the receiving groove 7 inside the one-way pipe 4 are in a sealing process. Then, when the pressure of the hot air exceeds the elastic force of the spring 9, it will drive the sealing disc 8 to move downward, thereby causing the contact sleeve 6 to release the seal between it and the receiving groove 7, and the hot air at the corresponding pressure will be discharged through the receiving groove 7. At this time, because the pressurized sludge will not fall into the one-way pipe 4, the air discharge process is completed.
[0032] In summary, when the equipment is in use or operation: when sludge needs to be dried, the sludge is first placed into the feed hopper 14. Then, the motor 2 drives the conveyor blades 3 to rotate, and the belt 20 drives the deflector 17 to transport the sludge into the drying shell 1. The conveyor blades 3 then transport the sludge within the drying shell 1, and hot air is introduced through the one-way pipe 4. The sludge is then dried from the bottom, thus improving the drying effect. When hot air needs to be introduced, the contact sleeve 6 and the receiving groove 7 inside the one-way pipe 4 are in a sealing process. When the pressure of the hot air exceeds the elastic force of the spring 9, it will drive the sealing disc 8 to move downward, causing the contact sleeve 6 to release the seal between it and the receiving groove 7, and the hot air at the corresponding pressure will be discharged through the receiving groove 7. At this time, because the sludge is under pressure, it will not fall into the one-way pipe 4, thus completing the air discharge process.
