Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation equipment technology, specifically to a fermentation sedimentation device. Background Technology
[0002] Biogas is a combustible gas produced by the fermentation of organic matter in an anaerobic environment under specific temperature, humidity, and pH conditions through microbial processes. Existing waste fermentation devices continuously generate separate biogas slurry and sediment during the fermentation process. Over time, these slurry and sediment accumulate, severely impacting fermentation efficiency. Furthermore, since the biogas slurry and sediment still possess fermentation value, they are not effectively recycled, resulting in resource waste. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a fermentation and sedimentation device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a fermentation sedimentation device, comprising a separation mechanism, a fermentation mechanism, a sludge reflux mechanism, a biogas reflux mechanism, a biogas collection mechanism, and a fertilizer collection mechanism. The separation mechanism is equipped with a screen, which divides the separation mechanism into a filtration zone and a screening zone. The front end of the fermentation mechanism is connected to the screening zone. The sludge reflux mechanism is connected between the bottom end of the fermentation mechanism and the filtration zone. The biogas reflux mechanism is connected between the fermentation mechanism and the filtration zone. The biogas collection mechanism is connected to the top end of the fermentation mechanism. The fertilizer collection mechanism is connected to the end end of the fermentation mechanism.
[0005] Preferably, the separation mechanism is a cylindrical separation tank with an open top, and the screen is installed at an angle inside the separation tank.
[0006] Preferably, the screen is connected to a driving component for driving the screen to vibrate back and forth.
[0007] Preferably, the fermentation mechanism includes multiple fermentation tanks connected in sequence, with the feed inlet of the first fermentation tank connected to the screening area and the fertilizer collection mechanism connected to the end of the last fermentation tank.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a first channel, through which two adjacent fermenters are connected, and a first valve is installed on the first channel.
[0009] Preferably, the front end of the first channel is higher than the rear end, and the front end of the first channel is connected to the upper rear side of the front fermenter, while the rear end of the first channel is connected to the lower front side of the rear fermenter.
[0010] Preferably, the biogas collection mechanism includes a biogas channel located above the fermentation mechanism, and a vacuum pump and a biogas collection tank installed on the biogas channel, with the top of each fermentation tank connected to the biogas channel.
[0011] Preferably, the biogas slurry return mechanism includes a biogas slurry return channel and a first booster pump installed on the biogas slurry return channel, with the first end of the biogas slurry return channel connected to the end of the last fermentation tank.
[0012] Preferably, the sludge reflux mechanism includes a sludge reflux channel located below the fermentation mechanism and a second booster pump installed on the sludge reflux channel. The bottom of the filtration zone and each fermentation tank are respectively connected to the sludge reflux channel, and a sediment collection tank is connected below the filtration zone.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention allows waste to be filtered and separated in a separation mechanism. Small particles of waste (mostly organic waste) enter the screening zone, while large particles (mostly inorganic waste) remain in the filtration zone. The waste then enters the fermentation mechanism for fermentation. The biogas produced during fermentation is collected by a biogas collection mechanism, and the fertilizer produced is collected by a fertilizer collection mechanism. The biogas slurry produced during fermentation is returned to the filtration zone of the separation mechanism via a biogas slurry return mechanism, and the sediment produced during fermentation is returned to the filtration zone of the separation mechanism via a sediment return mechanism. This allows the biogas slurry and sediment to be circulated and separated in the filtration zone before entering the fermentation mechanism for cyclical fermentation, thereby improving fermentation efficiency and enabling better reuse of the biogas slurry and sediment, avoiding resource waste.

[0023] See Figure 1-4As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a fermentation sedimentation device is provided, including a separation mechanism 1, a fermentation mechanism 2, a sludge reflux mechanism 3, a biogas slurry reflux mechanism 4, a biogas collection mechanism 5, and a fertilizer collection mechanism 6. The separation mechanism 1 is provided with a screen 7 inside, which divides the separation mechanism 1 into a filtration zone 1.1 and a screening zone 1.2. The front end of the fermentation mechanism 2 is connected to the screening zone 1.2. The sludge reflux mechanism 3 is connected between the bottom end of the fermentation mechanism 2 and the filtration zone 1.1. The biogas slurry reflux mechanism 4 is connected between the fermentation mechanism 2 and the filtration zone 1.1. The biogas collection mechanism 5 is connected to the top end of the fermentation mechanism 2, and the fertilizer collection mechanism 6 is connected to the end end of the fermentation mechanism 2. After the waste enters the separation unit 1 for filtration and separation, small particles of waste (mostly organic waste) enter the screening zone 1.2, while large particles of waste (mostly inorganic waste) remain in the filtration zone 1.1. Then, they enter the fermentation unit 2 for fermentation. The biogas produced by fermentation is collected through the biogas collection unit 5, and the fertilizer produced by fermentation is collected through the fertilizer collection unit 6. The biogas slurry produced by fermentation is returned to the filtration zone 1.1 of the separation unit 1 through the biogas slurry return unit 4, and the sediment produced by fermentation is returned to the filtration zone 1.1 of the separation unit 1 through the sediment return unit 3. This allows the biogas slurry and sediment to be circulated, filtered, and separated before entering the fermentation unit 2 for cyclical fermentation, thereby improving fermentation efficiency and enabling better reuse of biogas slurry and sediment, avoiding resource waste.
[0024] In this embodiment, the separation mechanism 1 is a cylindrical separation tank with an open top. The screen 7 is installed at an angle inside the separation tank, which makes the filtration surface of the screen 7 larger and the filtration effect and filtration efficiency better.
[0025] In this embodiment, the screen 7 is connected to a drive component 8, which is a motor used to drive the screen 7 to vibrate back and forth, thereby improving the filtration efficiency.
[0026] In this embodiment, the fermentation mechanism 2 includes multiple fermentation tanks 2.1 connected sequentially via a first channel 9. The feed inlet of the first fermentation tank 2.1 is connected to the screening area 1.2, and the fertilizer collection mechanism 6 is connected to the end of the last fermentation tank 2.1. Adjacent fermentation tanks 2.1 are connected via the first channel 9, and a first valve 12 is installed on the first channel 9. The front end of the first channel 9 is higher than the rear end, and the front end of the first channel 9 is connected to the upper rear side of the preceding fermentation tank 2.1, while the rear end of the first channel 9 is connected to the lower front side of the following fermentation tank 2.1. This arrangement results in less biogas residue being formed in the later fermentation tanks 2.1, leading to higher fermentation efficiency.
[0027] In this embodiment, the biogas collection mechanism 5 includes a biogas channel 5.1 located above the fermentation mechanism 2, an air pump 5.2 installed on the biogas channel 5.1, and a biogas collection tank 5.3. The top of each fermentation tank 2.1 is connected to the biogas channel 5.1 through a second channel 10. A second valve 13 is installed on the second channel 10. The air pump 5.2 draws the biogas in the fermentation tank 2.1 into the biogas collection tank 5.3 for collection.
[0028] In this embodiment, the biogas slurry return mechanism 4 includes a biogas slurry return channel 4.1 and a first booster pump 4.2 installed on the biogas slurry return channel 4.1. The first end of the biogas slurry return channel 4.1 is connected to the end of the last fermentation tank 2.1. Under the action of the first booster pump 4.2, the biogas slurry of the fermentation tank 2.1 is returned to the filtration zone 1.1 through the biogas slurry return channel 4.1 for recycling.
[0029] In this embodiment, the sludge return mechanism 3 includes a sludge return channel 3.1 located below the fermentation mechanism 2 and a second booster pump 3.2 installed on the sludge return channel 3.1. The bottom ends of the filtration zone 1.1 and each fermentation tank 2.1 are respectively connected to the sludge return channel 3.1. The bottom end of each fermentation tank 2.1 is connected to the sludge return channel 3.1 through a third channel 11. A third valve 14 is installed on the third channel 11 to achieve independent discharge control of the biogas residue of each fermentation tank 2.1. Under the action of the second booster pump 3.2, the biogas residue of the fermentation tank 2.1 is returned to the filtration zone 1.1 through the sludge return channel 3.1 for recycling. A sediment collection tank 15 is connected below the filtration zone 1.1 to collect large-particle hard inorganic sediments, which can be used as raw materials for building materials.
