[0060] Example 2

[0061] Large petrochemical enterprises generate large amounts of oily wastewater during their production processes. To ensure that the wastewater meets discharge standards, the enterprises have installed multiple large grease traps to treat this wastewater. These grease traps are rectangular, each measuring 30 meters in length, 15 meters in width, and 5 meters in depth. The oil sludge in the traps has a complex composition, including both denser heavy oil that settles at the bottom and lighter oil that floats on the surface of the wastewater. Moreover, the oil content varies significantly with production fluctuations.

[0062] To effectively clean the grease trap, the company introduced the grease scraper operating device for wastewater treatment, as described in this embodiment. During the installation phase, the construction team, based on the structural characteristics of the grease trap, constructed a hanging frame mechanism using high-strength steel. This mechanism spans the entire grease trap, with both ends securely connected to the concrete structure along the trap's edge via embedded parts. Calculations showed that the hanging frame mechanism can withstand the total weight of the grease scraper mechanism and a full load of grease, and also possesses a certain degree of wind resistance, capable of withstanding the local common level 6 gale. The grease scraper mechanism is evenly suspended from the hanging frame mechanism by four high-strength slings, ensuring operational stability.

[0063] The transmitter of the gantry crane remote control is compact and lightweight, ergonomically designed for easy handheld operation. Its surface features a logically laid-out button layout, including forward, reverse, heavy oil scraper up / down, light oil scraper up / down, and light oil scraper down buttons. The buttons have a non-slip texture and are clearly labeled in both Chinese and English. The receiver is housed in a dedicated protective case inside the main frame of the oil scraper mechanism. This case boasts excellent waterproof and dustproof performance, achieving an IP65 protection rating, effectively protecting the receiver from the harsh environment surrounding the oil separator. The receiver connects to the control circuitry of the oil scraper mechanism via a dedicated waterproof cable, which is shielded to minimize signal interference.

[0064] Two YVP132M-4 motors, each with a power of 7.5kW and a speed of 1440r / min, are mounted on the top of the mobile mechanism. These motors are connected to the forward and backward terminals of the receiver via forward and reverse switch circuits. When the operator presses the forward button on the transmitter, the transmitter sends a wireless signal of a specific frequency to the receiver. Upon receiving the signal, the receiver triggers the forward switch circuit, energizing the motors and causing them to start running. The motors then drive the sludge scraper mechanism forward along the track on the suspension mechanism via a reducer and drive chain. The moving speed can be adjusted from 0-10m / min using the speed control button on the transmitter. When the reverse button is pressed, the reverse switch circuit activates, reversing the motors and causing the sludge scraper mechanism to move backward.

[0065] The heavy oil scraper motor of the heavy oil scraper assembly is model JZQ-250 with a power of 5.5kW. It is connected to the first up-switching circuit and the first down-switching circuit, which are respectively connected to the first up-switching terminal and the first down-switching terminal of the receiver. When the heavy oil sediment at the bottom of the oil separator reaches a thickness of more than 10cm, the operator controls the transmitter to drive the heavy oil scraper motor to move the heavy oil scraper downward according to the situation in the tank.

[0066] The light oil scraper assembly features a 3kW motor connected to the second upward and downward switching circuits, and also connected to the second upward and downward terminals of the receiver. For light oil floating on the wastewater surface, the operator uses a remote control to move the scraper downwards. The scraper, made of flexible material, adheres closely to the water surface. Upon contact with the oil, it controls two moving motors to advance or retreat, scraping away the light oil sludge. Throughout operation, the scraper is equipped with a real-time monitoring system. Using a camera mounted on the main frame, the operator can clearly observe the entire scraping process on a monitor screen in the control room, ensuring safe and efficient operation. The system also features a fault warning function to protect equipment and personnel safety. Actual operational testing shows that this device is more than three times more efficient than traditional oil scraping equipment, while effectively reducing the operator's workload and safety risks.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] The urban wastewater treatment plant, serving a population of one million, plays a crucial role in treating oily sludge impurities in domestic sewage through its sedimentation tanks. There are six sedimentation tanks in total, each measuring 25 meters long, 12 meters wide, and 4 meters deep. The oily sludge in domestic sewage mainly originates from kitchen wastewater and catering wastewater. The properties of the oily sludge differ from those in petrochemical plants, being relatively lighter and more dispersed.

[0069] To meet the needs of cleaning oily sludge from the sedimentation tank, the wastewater treatment plant introduced this oil sludge scraper. During the installation of the hanging mechanism, considering the relatively humid environment around the sedimentation tank, the construction team implemented anti-corrosion treatment on the hanging mechanism using hot-dip galvanizing, achieving a coating thickness of 80μm, effectively extending the service life of the hanging mechanism. After the oil sludge scraper mechanism was installed, technicians conducted adjustments to ensure smooth movement on the hanging mechanism without any jamming.

[0070] The transmitter of the overhead crane remote control is equipped with a rechargeable lithium battery, which can operate continuously for 8 hours after a full charge, meeting the daily work needs of a wastewater treatment plant. After the receiver was installed inside the main frame of the device, technicians tested its signal reception range. Within a 30-meter radius around the sedimentation tank, the receiver was able to stably receive the signal emitted by the transmitter.

[0071] During operation, the two traveling motors of the moving mechanism move at a constant speed of 8 m / min on the hanging mechanism, coordinated with the forward and reverse switching circuits and the receiver, ensuring that the oil sludge scraper can complete a full inspection of the sedimentation tank within 20 minutes. When oil sludge is found at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, the operator sends a command to the receiver via the transmitter, and the heavy oil scraper motor responds via the first upward and first downward switching circuits. The heavy oil scraper adopts a serrated design to enhance the scraping effect. During the downward movement, the motor drives the scraper down at a steady speed. When it contacts the oil sludge layer, the motor torque increases. Monitored by a torque sensor, when the torque reaches the set value, it indicates that the scraper has penetrated to the appropriate depth, and the motor stops descending.

[0072] For the small amount of floating grease on the surface of the sedimentation tank, the light oil scraper motor, under the action of the second upward and second downward switching circuits, controls the light oil scraper to move downward according to the instructions received by the receiver. The edge of the light oil scraper is designed to be arc-shaped, which can better gather the floating grease. During the cleaning process, the wastewater treatment plant staff will also adjust the frequency of oil sludge scraping and the working depth of the scraper based on the water quality test data of the sedimentation tank. For example, when a high oil content is detected in the water, the number of times the oil sludge is scraped is increased; when a thick layer of oil sludge is found, the downward depth of the scraper is appropriately increased.

[0073] Furthermore, this sludge scraper has an interface with the wastewater treatment plant's automation system, allowing it to upload operational data to the plant's central control system in real time. Staff in the control room can remotely monitor the scraper's operating status, including running time, travel distance, and motor operating parameters. Meanwhile, after a period of operation, this device effectively ensured the normal operation of the sedimentation tank, reduced the decline in wastewater treatment efficiency caused by sludge accumulation, and also lowered the cost and safety hazards of manual cleaning.

[0074] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
