Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unloading machinery technology, specifically to an easy-to-clean sludge unloading hopper for sludge treatment. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous expansion of industrial production, sludge production is increasing year by year. Sludge contains a large number of pathogens, heavy metals and organic pollutants. If not properly treated, it will pose a serious threat to the environment and human health. Therefore, efficient sludge treatment has become a key link in the environmental protection field, and the unloading sludge hopper is the core equipment for sludge transfer, temporary storage and preliminary treatment.
[0003] Currently, in existing technologies, manual cleaning requires operators to manually remove sludge using tools, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also poses a risk of harm to human health due to harmful substances in the sludge. High-pressure washing can remove some sludge, but it consumes a lot of water, and the resulting secondary polluting wastewater requires additional treatment, increasing operating costs. Therefore, a sludge unloading hopper for sludge treatment that is easy to clean is proposed. Utility Model Content

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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model proposes a sludge discharge hopper for easy cleaning, including a hopper 1, a baffle 2 hinged to the bottom of the hopper 1, fixed plates 3 fixedly connected to both sides of the hopper 1, a drive device 4 installed at the bottom of the fixed plates 3 on both sides, the output end of the drive device 4 hinged to the baffle 2, a horizontal plate 5 fixedly connected to the top of the hopper 1, a movable plate 6 hinged to the top of the horizontal plate 5, a movable component 7 for moving up and down when cleaning the discharge hopper on the left side of the movable plate 6, and an adjustment component 8 for conforming to the inner wall of the discharge hopper when cleaning and moving on the left side of the movable component 7. The movable plate 6, the movable component 7, and the adjustment component 8 are arranged in two sets, symmetrically arranged in the middle of the horizontal plate 5.
[0026] In an embodiment of this utility model, in order to scrape the sludge in the unloading sludge hopper, the moving component 7 specifically includes a fixed frame 71, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the moving plate 6. A motor 72 is mounted on the top of the fixed frame 71, and the output shaft of the motor 72 is connected to a threaded rod 73. A moving block 74 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 73, and a connecting plate 75 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block 74. The connecting plate 75 is L-shaped, and a scraper 76 is hinged to the left side of the connecting plate 75, which can effectively scrape off the sludge adhering to the unloading sludge hopper.
[0027] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 8 includes an adjustment rod 81, which is hinged to the left side of the moving block 74. A disc 1 82 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjustment rod 81, and a disc 2 83 is movably connected to the outer wall of the adjustment rod 81. The disc 1 82 and the disc 2 83 are elastically connected by a spring, which can automatically adjust the contact pressure between the scraper 76 and the inner wall of the hopper 1 according to the sludge adhesion. A moving groove 84 is provided on the left side of the scraper 76, and the adjustment rod 81 passes through the moving groove 84. A limit block 85 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment rod 81 away from the moving block 74. The limit block 85 can prevent the adjustment rod 81 from coming out of the moving groove 84. The number of adjustment rod 81, disc 1 82, disc 2 83, moving groove 84, and limit block 85 is four.
[0028] Furthermore, a groove 9 is provided on the inner side of the movable plate 6, and the movable block 74 is movably connected to the inner wall of the groove 9. An electric telescopic rod 10 is installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 5. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 10 is hinged to the movable plate 6, which can flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the movable plate 6 to adapt to different cleaning needs. A vibration motor 11 is installed on the front of the hopper 1 to help loosen the sludge adhering to the inner wall of the unloading sludge hopper and improve cleaning efficiency.
[0029] It should be noted that the above electrical components are all existing technology products. Those skilled in the art should select, install, and complete the circuit debugging work according to the needs of use to ensure that each electrical appliance can work normally. For example, the drive device 4, motor 72, electric telescopic rod 10, and vibration motor 11 are all connected to the mains power. The components are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. No specific restrictions are made here.
[0030] In this invention, when sludge needs to be discharged from the sludge hopper, the drive device 4 located at the bottom of the fixed plate 3 is activated. The drive device 4 pulls the baffle 2 hinged at the bottom of the hopper 1. The baffle 2 rotates outward around the hinge point, gradually opening the discharge port. The bottom of the hopper 1 has an inverted cone design, and the sludge is quickly discharged under gravity. The electric telescopic rod 10 at the bottom of the horizontal plate 5 is activated. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 10 pushes the hinge shaft between the moving plate 6 and the horizontal plate 5 to rotate through the hinge point. According to the specific size of the hopper 1 and the sludge residue, the tilt angle of the moving plate 6 is flexibly adjusted so that the moving component 7 and the adjusting component 8 installed on the left side of the moving plate 6 are in the appropriate cleaning position. The motor 72 at the top of the fixed frame 71 is activated. The output shaft of the motor 72 drives the threaded rod 73 to rotate, causing the moving block 74 to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 73. The moving block 74 is within the moving plate 6. The inner wall of the chute 9 slides, and the chute 9 acts as a guide, so that the bottom connecting plate 75 and the hinged scraper 76 move up and down on the inner wall of the hopper 1 to initially scrape off the residual sludge. When encountering sludge of different thicknesses and different adhesion, the scraper 76 is resisted by the sludge and pushes the adjusting rod 81 to move in the moving groove 84, compressing the spring and bringing the second disc 83 closer to the first disc 82, thereby adjusting the angle and pressure of the scraper 76 so that it always fits against the inner wall of the hopper 1. The fit with the inner wall of the hopper 1 is automatically adjusted according to the actual situation of the sludge to achieve efficient cleaning. When encountering dry sludge or sludge with high viscosity, the vibration motor 11 is started to loosen the sludge. The loosened sludge is more easily removed from the inner wall of the discharge sludge hopper by the scraping of the scraper 76.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
