Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of microwave digestion technology, and in particular relates to a microwave digestion device for solid waste. Background Technology

[0002] Microwave digestion technology utilizes the penetrating power and reaction-activating ability of microwaves to heat reagents and samples in a sealed container. This increases the pressure inside the sample preparation container and raises the reaction temperature, thereby greatly improving the reaction rate and shortening the sample preparation time.

[0003] Most existing microwave digesters have a square processing space, with only the top opening to allow waste materials to be placed inside. This makes cleaning the inside of the microwave digester extremely difficult, resulting in incomplete cleaning and residue that can corrode the device and cause damage. To address this, we provide a microwave digester for solid waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microwave digester for solid waste. When the moving block moves to the right, it simultaneously moves the cleaning block and cleans the residue on the top of the slurry plate, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the device. This avoids corrosion and extends the service life of the instrument. It solves the problem that cleaning the inside of existing microwave digesters is too difficult, resulting in incomplete cleaning and residue that causes corrosion and damage to the inside of the device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a microwave digester for solid waste, including a digester shell, a baffle slidably connected inside the digester shell, a motor fixedly connected to the left side of the digester shell, and a threaded rod II fixedly connected to the output end of the motor through a coupling. The right side of the threaded rod II penetrates the digester shell and extends into the interior.

[0007] The outer surface of the threaded rod is threaded with a moving block, and the bottom of the moving block is fixedly connected to a cleaning block. The inner wall of the digester shell is fixedly connected to a slug plate, and the top of the slug plate is in contact with the bottom of the fixed plate. When the moving block moves to the right, it will simultaneously drive the cleaning block to move and clean the residue on the top of the slug plate, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the device, avoiding such corrosion, and extending the service life of the instrument.

[0008] Furthermore, a water tank is provided on the left side of the digester casing, a water pump is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank, a delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump, a cleaning groove is provided at the bottom of the water tank, the end of the delivery pipe away from the water pump passes through the cleaning groove and extends into the interior, and a nozzle is fixedly connected to the end of the delivery pipe away from the water pump, so as to clean the residue attached to the cleaning block through the nozzle.

[0009] Furthermore, a second drain plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, with the top of the second drain plate in contact with the bottom of the cleaning block. A second collection frame is slidably connected to the left side of the front of the digester housing, and the baffle is L-shaped. This allows the space between the cleaning tank and the second threaded rod to be blocked when the baffle falls, preventing it from entering during digestion.

[0010] Furthermore, a collection frame is slidably connected to the front of the digester housing, and an observation window is fixedly connected to the front of the collection frame. A cover plate is snapped onto the top of the digester housing, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the digester housing. There are two fixing plates in total, and a threaded rod is rotatably connected to the side of the two fixing plates that are close to each other. The condition inside the digester housing can be confirmed through the observation window.

[0011] Furthermore, the threaded rod 1 penetrates the fixed plate from the front and extends to the outside. A knob is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the front of the threaded rod 1. A threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 1. A baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the threaded block. The left side of the baffle 2 penetrates the digester housing and extends to the outside. The outer surface of the baffle 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the leak plate. The baffle 2 blocks the holes inside the leak plate to prevent the digestion liquid from falling into the collection frame 1.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention utilizes a movable block. Specifically, by pulling the baffle upwards, the space of the cleaning groove is connected to the interior of the digester, and the limitation on the movement position of the movable block is removed. Then, the motor is started, which drives the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod then drives the movable block to move to the right. As the movable block moves to the right, it simultaneously moves the cleaning block and cleans the residue on the top of the drain plate, ensuring the cleanliness of the device's interior, preventing corrosion, and extending the instrument's service life.

[0014] This invention uses a nozzle to clean the cleaning block. Specifically, a water pump is activated to draw water from the water tank into a delivery pipe, which then transports the water to the nozzle and sprays it out. Since the cleaning block is inside a box, the water sprayed from the nozzle hits the wall and bounces, thus cleaning the other end of the cleaning block. The wastewater from the cleaning flows through a second drain plate into a second collection frame for centralized collection, preventing residue from adhering to the surface of the cleaning block.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a microwave digester for solid waste, including a digester housing 101, a baffle 105 slidably connected inside the digester housing 101, a motor 206 fixedly connected to the left side of the digester housing 101, and a threaded rod 209 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 206 through a coupling. The right side of the threaded rod 209 penetrates the digester housing 101 and extends into the interior.

[0026] A movable block 207 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 209. A cleaning block 208 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block 207. A drain plate 103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the digester housing 101. The top of the drain plate 103 contacts the bottom of the fixed plate 108. When the baffle 105 is pulled upward, the space of the cleaning groove 211 is connected to the inside of the digester. At the same time, the limitation on the movement position of the movable block 207 is removed. Then, the motor 206 is started. The motor 206 drives the threaded rod 209 to rotate. Then, the rotation of the threaded rod 209 drives the movable block 207 to move to the right. When the movable block 207 moves to the right, it will simultaneously drive the cleaning block 208 to move and clean the residue on the top of the drain plate 103, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the device, avoiding corrosion, and extending the service life of the instrument.

[0027] A water tank 201 is provided on the left side of the digester housing 101. A water pump 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 201. A delivery pipe 203 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 202. A cleaning groove 211 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 201.

[0028] The end of the delivery pipe 203 away from the water pump 202 passes through the cleaning trough 211 and extends into it. The end of the delivery pipe 203 away from the water pump 202 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 204. When the water pump 202 is started, it draws water from the water tank 201 into the delivery pipe 203, and then delivers it to the nozzle 204 through the delivery pipe 203 and sprays it out to clean the cleaning block 208. Since the cleaning block 208 is in a box, the water sprayed from the nozzle 204 hits the wall and bounces, thereby cleaning the other end of the cleaning block 208. The wastewater that is cleaned flows into the collection frame 205 through the second strainer 210 for centralized collection to prevent residues from adhering to the surface of the cleaning block 208.

[0029] A second strainer plate 210 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 211. The top of the second strainer plate 210 contacts the bottom of the cleaning block 208. A second collection frame 205 is slidably connected to the left side of the front of the digester housing 101.

[0030] A collection frame 104 is slidably connected to the front of the digester housing 101, and an observation window 106 is fixedly connected to the front of the collection frame 104. A cover plate 102 is snapped onto the top of the digester housing 101.

[0031] A fixing plate 108 is fixedly connected to the right side of the digester housing 101. There are two fixing plates 108 in total. A threaded rod 109 is rotatably connected to the side of the two fixing plates 108 that are close to each other.

[0032] The threaded rod 109 extends through the fixing plate 108 and outwards from the front, and a knob 111 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the front of the threaded rod 109.

[0033] A threaded block 110 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 109. A baffle 107 is fixedly connected to the left side of the threaded block 110. The left side of the baffle 107 penetrates the digester housing 101 and extends to the outside. The outer surface of the baffle 107 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slug plate 103.

[0034] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The operator first opens the cover plate 102 and pours solid waste and liquids such as digesting acid into the digester housing 101, while simultaneously filling the water tank 201 with water. Digestion then begins. The operator observes through the observation window 106 to see if digestion is complete. After digestion, the threaded block 110 is rotated, causing the threaded rod 109 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 109 then moves the threaded block 110 to the back. As the threaded block 110 moves to the back, it simultaneously pulls the baffle 107, opening the holes between the drain plates 103. This allows the digested waste inside the digester housing 101 to drain through the holes into the collection frame 104. Then, the baffle 105 is pulled upwards, and the motor 206 is started simultaneously. The motor 206 then drives the threaded rod 107... Rotation of 209 causes the moving block 207 to move to the right via the rotation of the threaded rod 209. As the moving block 207 moves to the right, it simultaneously moves the cleaning block 208 and cleans the residue on the top of the drain plate 103, ensuring the cleanliness of the device's interior. After cleaning, the moving block 207 is reset, and the water pump 202 is started. The water pump 202 draws water from the water tank 201 into the delivery pipe 203, and then delivers it to the nozzle 204 through the delivery pipe 203 and sprays it out to clean the cleaning block 208. Since the cleaning block 208 is in a box, the water sprayed from the nozzle 204 hits the wall and bounces, thus cleaning the other end of the cleaning block 208. The cleaned wastewater flows through the drain plate 210 into the collection frame 205 for centralized collection.
