Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental protection equipment technology, and in particular to a separator. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the aquaculture industry, the scale of farms is also expanding. Because farms produce a large amount of animal manure, which usually contains a lot of water, if solid-liquid separation is not carried out, it is very easy to attract mosquitoes and flies or produce bacteria and microorganisms, affecting the farm and the surrounding environment.

[0003] Therefore, livestock farms typically use solid-liquid separators to separate the solids and liquids of manure before fermentation in fermentation tanks for reuse. However, existing separators often result in fluctuating moisture content in the manure after solid-liquid separation, affecting fermentation efficiency. Therefore, there is a need for a separator that can achieve a more uniform moisture content in the separated manure, thereby improving fermentation effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, this application provides a separator that can make the water content of the material after solid-liquid separation more uniform, thereby improving the fermentation effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a separator for solid-liquid separation of materials, comprising: a separation chamber having an inlet and an outlet; an auger disposed within the separation chamber, driving the material in the separation chamber to move toward the outlet; a motor connected to the auger; a movable cover plate covering the outer side of the outlet and spaced apart from it, the material discharged from the outlet being discharged through the gap between the outlet and the movable cover plate; a first sensor disposed on the motor to detect the current of the motor; a second sensor disposed at a corresponding position on the movable cover plate to detect the gap between the movable cover plate and the outlet; and a drive cylinder connected to the movable cover plate to drive the movable cover plate closer to and away from the outlet, adjusting the gap between the movable cover plate and the outlet according to the current detected by the first sensor, with a larger gap resulting from a larger current.

[0006] As described above, the auger, driven by a motor, rotates, propelling the material towards the discharge port. The material is then squeezed and dehydrated near the discharge port before being discharged. A drive cylinder adjusts the gap between the movable cover and the discharge port, thereby regulating the material discharge speed, the compressive pressure, and the moisture content of the discharged material. Since the motor speed varies with the current, a higher current results in a faster motor and auger rotation, propelling the material towards the discharge port. Therefore, changes in the motor current affect the compressive pressure on the material near the discharge port, thus influencing the moisture content of the discharged material. To address this, a first sensor detects the motor current, and a second sensor detects the gap between the movable cover and the discharge port. This allows the drive cylinder to dynamically adjust the gap based on the motor current, maintaining a constant compressive pressure on the material near the discharge port and consequently, a constant moisture content in the discharged material. This allows for a more uniform moisture content in the material after solid-liquid separation, thereby improving the fermentation effect.

[0007] As one possible implementation of this application, the separator further includes an alarm, which is electrically connected to the first sensor. When the first sensor detects that the current of the motor is greater than a first threshold, the alarm issues an alarm.

[0008] As mentioned above, a malfunction in the separator will cause the motor current to increase. By setting an alarm, an alert will be issued when the first sensor detects that the motor current exceeds a first threshold. This will alert the user to take action when the separator malfunctions, preventing damage to the separator.

[0009] As one possible implementation of this application, the separator further includes: a third sensor, which is disposed on the motor to detect the temperature of the motor; the third sensor is electrically connected to the alarm, and the alarm sounds an alarm when the third sensor detects that the temperature of the motor is greater than a second threshold.

[0010] As mentioned above, excessively high temperatures can damage the motor and shorten its lifespan. By installing a third sensor to detect the motor temperature, an alarm will sound when the temperature exceeds a second threshold, allowing the user to take timely action and prevent damage from overheating.

[0011] As one possible implementation of this application, the separator further includes: a speed reducer, through which the motor is connected to the auger; a fourth sensor, which is disposed on the speed reducer to detect the temperature of the speed reducer; the fourth sensor is electrically connected to the alarm, and when the fourth sensor detects that the temperature of the speed reducer is greater than a third threshold, the alarm sounds an alarm.

[0012] As mentioned above, excessively high temperatures can damage the speed reducer and shorten its lifespan. By installing a fourth sensor to detect the speed reducer's temperature, an alarm will sound when the temperature exceeds a third threshold, allowing the user to take timely action and prevent damage from overheating.

[0013] As one possible implementation of this application, the separator further includes: a frame, on which a bearing chamber is provided, and a bearing is provided in the bearing chamber, and one end of the auger is mounted on the frame through the bearing; a fifth sensor, which is disposed in the bearing chamber and detects the temperature of the bearing chamber; the fifth sensor is electrically connected to the alarm, and when the fifth sensor detects that the temperature of the bearing chamber is greater than a fourth threshold, the alarm sounds an alarm.

[0014] As mentioned above, excessively high temperatures can damage bearings and shorten their lifespan. By installing a fifth sensor to detect the bearing temperature, an alarm will sound when the temperature exceeds a fourth threshold, allowing the user to take timely action and prevent damage to the bearing due to overheating.

[0015] As one possible implementation of this application, the alarm emits an alarm through at least one of sound, light, video, animation, and vibration.

[0016] As mentioned above, multiple alarm methods can quickly attract the user's attention, allowing for timely handling and preventing equipment damage.

[0017] As one possible implementation of this application, the second sensor is a grating ruler sensor.

[0018] Therefore, by selecting a grating ruler sensor as the second sensor to detect the gap between the movable cover and the discharge port, the detection accuracy can be improved, which in turn can improve the accuracy of the drive cylinder in controlling the movement of the movable cover, so that the water content in the material after solid-liquid separation is more uniform.

[0019] As one possible implementation of this application, the separator also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, and the drive cylinder.

[0020] Based on the current detected by the first sensor, the controller controls the drive cylinder to adjust the gap between the movable cover and the discharge port, and uses the second sensor to determine whether the gap between the movable cover and the discharge port has reached the predetermined value.

[0021] As one possible implementation of this application, the separator further includes a frame, on which the separation chamber and the auger are mounted; the separation chamber is cylindrical and its axis is horizontally positioned; the auger passes through the separation chamber and is coaxially positioned with the separation chamber, with the other end of the auger extending out from the discharge port and rotatably connected to the frame; a movable cover plate is sleeved on the other end of the auger, and the drive cylinder has a drive rod that extends along the axial direction of the auger and is fixedly connected to the movable cover plate.

[0022] As one possible implementation of this application, multiple drive cylinders are provided and are evenly arranged along the circumference of the auger.

[0023] As described above, by setting multiple drive cylinders evenly distributed along the circumference of the auger, the force applied to the movable cover plate by the drive cylinders can be made more uniform. At the same time, setting multiple drive cylinders can reduce the load on the drive cylinders, improve the response speed of the drive cylinders in moving the movable cover plate, and synchronize the current adjustment of the movable cover plate with the motor, thereby making the moisture content in the material after solid-liquid separation more uniform.

[0034] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, possible embodiments of the separator 10 in this application will be described by way of example.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a top orthographic projection of the separator 10 in this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view of the separator along the 10A-A direction; Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the electrical connections of the separator 10. (See diagram below.) Figures 1-3As shown, this application provides a separator 10 for solid-liquid separation of materials, including a separation chamber 200, an auger 300, a motor 400, a movable cover plate 160, a drive cylinder 170, a first sensor 530, and a second sensor 540. The separation chamber 200 has an inlet 210 and an outlet 220. The auger 300 is disposed inside the separation chamber 200, driving the material in the separation chamber 200 to move towards the outlet 220. The motor 400 is connected to the auger 300 in a transmission relationship. The movable cover plate 160 covers the outer side of the outlet 220 and is spaced apart from the outlet 220. The material discharged from the outlet 220 is discharged through the gap between the outlet 220 and the movable cover plate 160. The first sensor 530 is disposed on the motor 400 to detect the current of the motor 400. The second sensor 540 is disposed at a corresponding position on the movable cover plate 160 to detect the size of the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the outlet 220. The drive cylinder 170 is connected to the movable cover plate 160 in a transmission manner, driving the movable cover plate 160 to move closer to or away from the discharge port 220. The gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220 is adjusted according to the magnitude of the current detected by the first sensor 530. The larger the current, the larger the gap.

[0036] As described above, the auger 300 is driven by the motor 400 to rotate, thereby pushing the material towards the discharge port 220. The material is then squeezed and dehydrated near the discharge port 220 before being discharged. The movable cover plate 160, driven by the drive cylinder 170, adjusts the gap between itself and the discharge port 220, thus regulating the material discharge speed, the squeezing pressure, and the moisture content of the discharged material. Since the rotational speed of the motor 400 varies with the current, a higher current results in a higher rotational speed for both the motor 400 and the auger 300, leading to a faster movement of the material towards the discharge port 220. Therefore, changes in the current in the motor 400 affect the squeezing pressure on the material near the discharge port 220, and consequently, the moisture content of the material discharged from the discharge port 220. Therefore, by setting the first sensor 530 to detect the current of the motor 400 and the second sensor 540 to detect the size of the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220, the drive cylinder 170 can be dynamically adjusted to control the size of the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220 based on the current of the motor 400. This keeps the extrusion pressure on the material near the discharge port 220 constant, thus keeping the moisture content of the material discharged from the discharge port 220 constant. This results in a more uniform moisture content in the material after solid-liquid separation, thereby improving the fermentation effect.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the separator 10 also includes an alarm 520, which is electrically connected to a first sensor 530. The alarm 520 sounds an alarm when the first sensor 530 detects that the current of the motor 400 exceeds a first threshold. Since a malfunction in the separator 10 will cause the current of the motor 400 to increase, by setting the alarm 520 to sound an alarm when the first sensor 530 detects that the current of the motor 400 exceeds the first threshold, the user can be alerted to take action when the separator 10 malfunctions, thus preventing damage to the separator 10.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the separator 10 further includes a third sensor 550, which is disposed on the motor 400 to detect the temperature of the motor 400. The third sensor 550 is electrically connected to an alarm 520. When the third sensor 550 detects that the temperature of the motor 400 exceeds a second threshold, the alarm 520 sounds an alarm. Since excessively high temperatures can damage the motor 400 and affect its lifespan, by using the third sensor 550 to detect the temperature of the motor 400, and having the alarm 520 sound an alarm when the temperature exceeds the second threshold, the user can be promptly alerted to take action, preventing damage to the motor 400 due to overheating.

[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the separator 10 further includes a reducer 140 and a fourth sensor 560. The motor 400 is connected to the auger 300 via the reducer 140. The fourth sensor 560 is mounted on the reducer 140 to detect its temperature. The fourth sensor 560 is electrically connected to an alarm 520. When the fourth sensor 560 detects that the temperature of the reducer 140 exceeds a third threshold, the alarm 520 sounds an alarm. Since excessively high temperatures can damage the reducer 140 and affect its lifespan, by using the fourth sensor 560 to detect the temperature of the reducer 140, and by having the alarm 520 sound an alarm when the temperature exceeds the third threshold, the user can be promptly alerted to take action, preventing damage to the reducer 140 due to overheating.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the separator 10 further includes a frame 100 and a fifth sensor 570. The frame 100 has a bearing chamber 110, and a bearing 120 is housed within the bearing chamber 110. One end of the auger 300 is mounted on the frame 100 via the bearing 120. The fifth sensor 570 is located within the bearing chamber 110 and detects its temperature. The fifth sensor 570 is electrically connected to an alarm 520. When the fifth sensor 570 detects that the temperature of the bearing chamber 110 exceeds a fourth threshold, the alarm 520 sounds an alarm. Since excessively high temperatures can damage the bearing 120 and affect its lifespan, by using the fifth sensor 570 to detect the bearing 120's temperature and triggering an alarm when the temperature exceeds the fourth threshold, the user can be promptly alerted to take action, preventing damage to the bearing 120 due to overheating.

[0041] In some embodiments, the alarm 520 sounds an alarm through at least one of sound, light, video, animation, and vibration. Thus, by using multiple alarm methods, the user's attention can be drawn more quickly, allowing for timely intervention and preventing damage to the device.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second sensor 540 is a grating ruler sensor. By selecting a grating ruler sensor as the second sensor 540 to detect the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220, the detection accuracy can be improved, which in turn can improve the accuracy of the drive cylinder 170 in controlling the movement of the movable cover plate 160, so that the water content in the material after solid-liquid separation is more uniform.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the separator 10 further includes a controller 510, which is electrically connected to a first sensor 530, a second sensor 540, and a drive cylinder 170. Thus, the controller 510 controls the drive cylinder 170 to adjust the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220 based on the current detected by the first sensor 530, and determines whether the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220 has reached a predetermined value via the second sensor 540.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the separator 10 further includes a frame 100, with a separation chamber 200 and an auger 300 mounted on the frame 100. The separation chamber 200 is cylindrical, and its axis is horizontally positioned. The auger 300 passes through the separation chamber 200 and is coaxially positioned with it. The other end of the auger 300 extends from the discharge port 220 and is rotatably connected to the frame 100. A movable cover plate 160 is fitted onto the other end of the auger 300, and a drive cylinder 170 has a drive rod that extends along the axial direction of the auger 300 and is fixedly connected to the movable cover plate 160.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple drive cylinders 170 are provided, evenly distributed along the circumference of the auger 300. Therefore, by providing multiple drive cylinders 170 and ensuring their even distribution along the circumference of the auger 300, the force applied by the drive cylinders 170 to the movable cover plate 160 can be more uniform. Simultaneously, by providing multiple drive cylinders 170, the load on the drive cylinders 170 can be reduced, the response speed of the drive cylinders 170 in moving the movable cover plate 160 can be improved, and the current of the movable cover plate 160 and the motor 400 can be synchronously adjusted, resulting in a more uniform moisture content in the material after solid-liquid separation.

[0046] The above description provides an exemplary description of possible embodiments of the separator 10 in this application. Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the specific structure of the separator 10 in this application will be provided in specific embodiments.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the separator 10 includes a frame 100 and a separation chamber 200, an auger 300, and a motor 400 mounted on the frame 100. The motor 400 is connected to the auger 300 for transmission. The auger 300 is located inside the separation chamber 200 and rotates under the drive of the motor 400, causing solid-liquid separation of the material inside the separation chamber 200.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the separation chamber 200 is a cylindrical chamber enclosed by a screen. The axis of the separation chamber 200 is horizontally positioned, allowing it to be horizontally fixed on the frame 100. An opening, forming a feed inlet 210, is provided at the top near one end of the separation chamber 200, through which material enters the separation chamber 200. A circular discharge outlet 220 is provided on the end face of the other end of the separation chamber 200, with the discharge outlet 220 facing the same direction as the axis of the separation chamber 200.

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, the auger 300 is installed inside the separation chamber 200, with its shaft center coinciding with the shaft center of the separation chamber 200. One end of the auger 300 passes through the separation chamber 200 and is rotatably connected to the frame 100. Specifically, the frame 100 has a bearing chamber 110 at a corresponding position at one end of the separation chamber 200, and a bearing 120 is installed inside the bearing chamber 110. One end of the auger 300 is mounted on the bearing 120 inside the bearing chamber 110. The other end of the auger 300 extends out from the discharge port 220, and the frame 100 has a mounting plate 130 at a corresponding position spaced a distance from the discharge port 220. The other end of the auger 300 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 130.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, a reducer 140 is also installed on the frame 100. The input end of the reducer 140 is connected to the motor 400 via a transmission belt, and the motor 400 drives the input end of the reducer 140 to rotate. The reducer 140 also has an output end, which is connected to one end of the auger 300 via a coupling 150. The output end is driven by the input end, and the speed of the output end is less than the speed of the input end. That is, the reducer 140 can reduce the speed and increase the torque of the motor 400, so that the auger 300 can obtain a suitable speed and have sufficient torque to push the material in the separation chamber 200 toward the discharge port 220.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the frame 100 also includes a movable cover plate 160 and drive cylinders 170. The movable cover plate 160 is located outside the discharge port 220 and is fitted onto the other end of the auger 300. Two drive cylinders 170 are provided, fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 130, located on either side of the discharge port 220. Each drive cylinder 170 has a drive rod extending along the axis of the separation chamber 200 toward the discharge port 220. The drive rods of the two drive cylinders 170 are fixedly connected to the movable cover plate 160, driving the movable cover plate 160 to move toward or away from the discharge port 220. Specifically, the drive cylinders 170 can drive the movable cover plate 160 toward the discharge port 220 to reduce the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220, thereby reducing the space for material to be discharged from the discharge port 220 and increasing the extrusion pressure during material discharge, so that water in the material can be separated from the material more quickly and in greater quantities. The drive cylinders 170 can drive the movable cover plate 160 to move as shown in the image. Figure 1 , Figure 2The position shown indicates that the outlet 220 is abutted, completely closing the outlet 220. Alternatively, the movable cover plate 160 can be moved away from the outlet 220 by the drive cylinder 170 to increase the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the outlet 220, thereby increasing the space for material to be discharged from the outlet 220, reducing the squeezing pressure during material discharge, and thus reducing the speed and quality of water separation from the material.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the separator 10 also includes a control device 500, which includes a controller 510, an alarm 520, a first sensor 530, a second sensor 540, a third sensor 550, a fourth sensor 560, and a fifth sensor 570. The drive cylinder 170, alarm 520, first sensor 530, second sensor 540, third sensor 550, fourth sensor 560, and fifth sensor 570 are electrically connected to the controller 510. The first sensor 530, second sensor 540, third sensor 550, fourth sensor 560, and fifth sensor 570 are used to detect the status of the separator 10 and send the detection results to the controller 510. The controller 510 can control the extension or retraction of the drive rod of the drive cylinder 170 according to the detection results, and can also control the alarm 520 to issue an alarm through sound, light, video, animation, vibration, etc.

[0053] The first sensor 530 is mounted on the motor 400 to detect the current of the motor 400. The second sensor 540 is a grating ruler sensor, set at the corresponding position on the movable cover 160, to detect the gap between the discharge port 220 and the movable cover 160. The first sensor 530 and the second sensor 540 can send the detected data to the controller 510, which controls the drive cylinder 170 to move the movable cover 160, adjusting the gap between the movable cover 160 and the discharge port 220 to keep the moisture content of the material discharged from the discharge port 220 consistent, thereby improving the fermentation effect during subsequent fermentation processing.

[0054] Specifically, during operation, the current of motor 400 may fluctuate. For example, when the current increases, the speed of motor 400 will increase, which in turn increases the speed of auger 300. The increased speed of auger 300 will increase the compressive pressure on the material near the discharge port 220, thereby increasing the rate and volume of water squeezed out of the material at discharge port 220, and reducing the moisture content of the material discharged from discharge port 220. When the first sensor 530 detects an increase in the current in motor 400, controller 510 can control drive cylinder 170 to move movable cover plate 160 away from discharge port 220 according to the amount of current increase, increasing the gap between movable cover plate 160 and discharge port 220, reducing the resistance when material is discharged from discharge port 220, reducing the compressive pressure on the material near discharge port 220, thereby reducing the rate and volume of water squeezed out of the material at discharge port 220, and increasing the moisture content of the material discharged from discharge port 220. Conversely, when the current decreases, causing an increase in the moisture content of the material discharged from outlet 220, the controller 510 controls the movable cover 160 to move closer to outlet 220, thereby reducing the moisture content of the material discharged from outlet 220. Further details are omitted here.

[0055] Simultaneously, the controller 510 can also detect the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220 using the second sensor 540, ensuring that the movable cover plate 160 moves to a predetermined distance so that the increase in the gap between the movable cover plate 160 and the discharge port 220 matches the increase in the current of the motor 400. That is, the controller 510 controls the drive cylinder 170 to dynamically adjust the position of the movable cover plate 160 (corresponding to moving away from / closer to the discharge port 220) based on the change (increase / decrease) of the current in the motor 400, so that the extrusion pressure on the material near the discharge port 220 remains constant, and the moisture content of the material discharged from the discharge port 220 remains constant.

[0056] The first sensor 530 is also used to detect whether the separator 10 has malfunctioned. Specifically, when the separator 10 malfunctions, the current of the motor 400 will increase. By detecting the current of the motor 400 through the first sensor 530, when the first sensor 530 detects that the current of the motor 400 exceeds a first threshold, the controller 510 can confirm that the separator 10 has malfunctioned. Therefore, the controller 510 can control the alarm 520 to issue an alarm, reminding the user to take timely action to avoid damage to the separator 10.

[0057] The third sensor 550 is installed on the motor 400 to detect the temperature of the motor 400, in order to prevent the motor 400 from being damaged due to overheating. Specifically, when the third sensor 550 detects that the temperature of the motor 400 exceeds the second threshold, it sends the data to the controller 510. The controller 510 confirms that the temperature of the motor 400 is too high and controls the alarm 520 to issue an alarm, reminding the user to take action to prevent the motor 400 from being damaged due to overheating.

[0058] The fourth sensor 560 is installed on the reducer 140 to detect the temperature of the reducer 140, so as to prevent the reducer 140 from being damaged due to overheating. When the fourth sensor 560 detects that the temperature of the reducer 140 is greater than the third threshold, the controller 510 controls the alarm 520 to issue an alarm to remind the user to take action and prevent the reducer 140 from being damaged due to overheating.

[0059] The fifth sensor 570 is installed inside the bearing chamber 110 to detect the temperature of the bearing chamber 110, so as to prevent the bearing 120 from being damaged due to excessive temperature inside the bearing chamber 110. When the fifth sensor 570 detects that the temperature of the bearing chamber 110 is greater than the fourth threshold, the controller 510 controls the alarm 520 to issue an alarm, reminding the user to take action and prevent the bearing 120 from being damaged due to excessive temperature.

[0060] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments and the technical principles employed in this application.
