Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment equipment technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional device that can be used in the sludge hopper of a secondary sedimentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] The secondary sedimentation tank is a core structure in a wastewater treatment system, primarily used to separate sludge from water through gravity settling. The sludge hopper, as a crucial structure at the bottom of the secondary sedimentation tank, is responsible for collecting and temporarily storing the settled sludge. However, traditional sludge hoppers suffer from the following problems in actual operation:
[0003] 1. Sludge deposition and blockage: Sludge in the hopper is prone to caking due to poor flowability or accumulation of fibrous impurities, resulting in poor sludge discharge or even blockage, requiring frequent manual cleaning and affecting treatment efficiency.
[0004] 2. Difficult to maintain: Traditional crushers are usually fixed inside the sludge hopper. During maintenance, the sludge must be emptied and the operator must enter the narrow hopper to operate, which poses a safety hazard and is time-consuming.
[0005] 3. Insufficient structural stability: Some equipment is suspended and is prone to displacement under the impact of sludge or mechanical vibration, which affects the crushing effect and the service life of the equipment.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, some improvements have been implemented in existing technologies, such as adding a stirring device to the sludge hopper or using a screw conveyor to assist in sludge discharge. However, these solutions still suffer from drawbacks such as low functional integration, high energy consumption, or inability to simultaneously resolve sludge hopper clogging and maintenance difficulties. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a multi-functional device that integrates crushing and lifting functions while being easy to maintain, in order to optimize the sludge treatment process in secondary sedimentation tanks.

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0025] like Figures 1-5 The device shown is a multi-functional device that can be used in a secondary sedimentation tank 1 and a sludge hopper 4, including a crusher 5, an elevator 6 and matching positioning and connecting components.
[0026] The elevator 6 is installed on the upper part of the central column 2 of the secondary sedimentation tank 1. The sludge hopper 4 is set adjacent to the column 2, and the lower part of the sludge hopper 4 is connected to the sludge discharge pipe 8. The crusher 5 is installed on the upper part of the sludge hopper 4. The elevator 6 is vertically connected to the crusher 5 through the lifting rod 7 to form a vertical linkage system. The lifting rod 7 can adopt a multi-section lifting structure. Through the lifting rod 7, the elevator 6 can precisely control the lifting and lowering of the crusher 5. It can adjust the contact depth between the crusher 5 and the sludge layer during operation, and can also lift the crusher 5 out of the sludge hopper 4 as a whole during maintenance, avoiding manual entry into the sludge hopper for operation.
[0027] The crusher 5 is equipped with a pair of crushing rollers 9, which rotate bidirectionally driven by a motor located in a closed chamber 10 at one end of the crusher 5's outer shell. The double-roller design effectively crushes fibers and lumps in the sludge through shearing and compression, preventing sludge caking. The motor speed can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the sludge to adapt to different operating conditions.
[0028] A filter screen box 13 is installed at the lower outlet of the crushing roller 9, and the filter screen box 13 is located at the bottom of the sludge hopper 4. The filter screen box 13 performs secondary screening of the crushed sludge, which can intercept large particles of impurities that are not fully crushed, and ensure the unobstructed flow of the sludge discharge pipe 8.
[0029] The upper part of the sludge hopper 4 is provided with an installation platform 41, and each of the four corners of the platform is provided with a positioning pin 42. The four corners of the crusher 5 are provided with positioning holes 51. The positioning pins 42 and the positioning holes 51 are matched to achieve quick snap-fit, ensuring that the crusher 5 can be horizontally aligned during installation, and avoiding equipment vibration or uneven force due to installation offset.
[0030] Furthermore, the diameter of the positioning hole 51 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and its upper diameter matches the diameter of the positioning pin 42. The tapered hole structure guides the positioning pin 42 to automatically center, improving the installation accuracy. The inner wall of the positioning hole 51 is provided with a deformable elastic layer, such as a rubber pad. The elastic layer buffers vibration and impact, and at the same time compensates for installation tolerances through deformation, thereby enhancing structural stability.
[0031] The upper part of the crusher 5 is equipped with four symmetrically distributed connecting rods 11. The upper ends of the diagonally opposite connecting rods 11 are connected and fixed by top rods 12. The lower end of the lifting rod 7 is connected to the connection point in the middle of the two top rods 12. The four-link structure can evenly distribute the lifting force to the four corners of the crusher 5, avoiding deformation caused by single-point force. The connection of the top rods 12 further strengthens the overall structure and ensures that the equipment can be lifted and lowered smoothly during the lifting process.
[0032] The top of the column 2 is equipped with a connecting bridge 3, and the front of the connecting bridge 3 is equipped with an openable maintenance door 14. Maintenance personnel can reach the maintenance door 14 through the connecting bridge 3. By going down through the maintenance door 14, they can inspect or replace parts on the upper part of the elevator 6 and the crusher 5, avoiding the need for maintenance personnel to enter the sludge hopper 4, which significantly improves safety and maintenance efficiency.
[0033] In addition, the crusher 5 can be removed from the elevator 6 using other hoisting equipment and hoisted to the maintenance area through the inspection door 14 for more detailed inspection and maintenance.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
