Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of thickener feeding, specifically relating to a feeding device for a multi-tube building thickener. Background Technology
[0002] A thickener is a device used for solid-liquid separation, primarily for treating suspensions containing solid particles. Through gravity settling or centrifugal force, it separates the solid particles from the liquid and concentrates them into a higher-concentration slurry. Thickeners are widely used in the construction industry and are essential equipment for treating tailings, wastewater, sludge, and other materials.
[0003] The working principle of a thickener is based on the particle sedimentation theory. When a suspension containing solid particles enters the thickener, the solid particles gradually settle to the bottom of the equipment under the action of gravity, forming a concentrated slurry. The clear liquid on top is discharged through an overflow weir, thus achieving solid-liquid separation.
[0004] Currently, in some construction production processes, the amount of solid-liquid separation required is relatively large, and the production scale is also relatively large. In the process of suspending solids to assist in sedimentation, it is difficult to achieve large-scale solid-liquid suspension if only the traditional central shaft agitator is removed. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure the effective extraction of the clear liquid from the suspension during agitation. Furthermore, during sedimentation, multiple sedimentation and feeding points must be designed to ensure the high efficiency and stability of the thickener in large-scale operations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device for a multi-tube thickener in construction, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A feeding device for a multi-tube thickener in construction includes,
[0008] The processing mechanism includes a tank, a track, a slide, a connecting frame, a discharge port, and a valve. The upper end of the outer ring wall of the tank is fixedly fitted with a track. The surface of the track is symmetrically provided with slides for rotational support. The upper end of the slides distributed along both sides is fixedly installed with the same connecting frame. The bottom of the tank has several discharge ports for discharging material. The discharge ports are provided with valves, and the valve cores of the valves are embedded inside the discharge ports.
[0009] The liquid extraction mechanism includes a sleeve, an extraction tube, a first transition interface, a sealed bearing, and a second transition interface. The sleeve is inserted through and fixedly embedded in the middle of the connecting frame. The extraction tube for extracting the upper liquid is fixedly inserted inside the sleeve. The upper flange of the extraction tube is fitted with the first transition interface. The inner wall of the first transition interface is welded and fixed with a sealed bearing for sealing rotation. The inner ring wall of the sealed bearing is interference-fitted and has the second transition interface inserted through it.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, stirring rods for preventing uneven sedimentation are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the connecting frame and near the inner wall of the tank.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end of the motor shaft is fixedly connected to a shaft rod via a coupling, and the other end of the shaft rod is rotatably mounted with a bearing seat. The outer ring wall of the bearing seat is fixed to the surface of the platform via a bracket. A drive bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the shaft rod, and the same linkage bevel gear is installed along the lower ends of the two slides.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1.

[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a feeding device for a multi-tube thickener in construction, comprising:
[0033] The processing mechanism 1 includes a tank 10, a track 11, a slide 12, a connecting frame 17, a discharge port 101, and a valve 102. The track 11 is fixedly fitted onto the upper end of the outer wall of the tank 10. Slides 12 for rotational support are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the track 11. The same connecting frame 17 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the slides 12 distributed along both sides. Several discharge ports 101 for discharging material are distributed through the bottom of the tank 10. A valve 102 is installed on each discharge port 101, with the valve core of the valve 102 embedded inside the discharge port 101. The bottom of the tank 10 has a conical structure for better sedimentation and discharge. The slides 12 can slide assistedly based on the track 11. To ensure that the stirring rod 18 and stirring blade 19 rotate and agitate along the inner edge of the tank 10, it is possible to avoid excessive local sedimentation and blockage of the discharge port 101 during large-scale solid-liquid treatment. Multiple discharge ports 101 are provided, and their port positions can be connected to multiple pipes to form a multi-pipe discharge tank 10 structure. The bottom of the tank 10 is also equipped with sufficiently high feet to ensure that the discharge ports 101 have sufficient operating space when connected to the discharge pipes. Multiple discharge ports 101 allow the discharge pipes to convey materials in multiple directions. Furthermore, since the thickener itself processes relatively high material concentrations, the use of multiple discharge pipes can prevent blockage of a single discharge pipe.
[0034] The liquid extraction mechanism 2 includes a sleeve 20, an extraction pipe 21, a transition interface 1 22, a sealing bearing 23, and a transition interface 24. The sleeve 20 is inserted through and fixedly embedded in the middle of the connecting frame 17. The extraction pipe 21 for extracting the upper liquid is fixedly inserted inside the sleeve 20. The upper flange of the extraction pipe 21 is fitted with the transition interface 1 22. The inner wall of the transition interface 1 22 is welded and fixed with a sealing bearing 23 for sealing rotation. The inner ring wall of the sealing bearing 23 is interference-fitted and has the transition interface 24 inserted through it. The extraction pipe 21 has sufficient distance from the bottom of the tank 10, and the length of the extraction pipe 21 can be adjusted according to the actual height of the mortar sedimentation zone. The connecting frame 17 for installing the extraction pipe 21 will rotate. In order to ensure the normal operation of the extraction, the two transition interfaces cooperate with the sealing bearing 23 to form a rotating sealing interface with sealing and rotation, which can ensure that when the extraction pipe 21 extracts the upper liquid, it can be stably fed into the delivery pipe 202.
[0035] The inner side of the slide 12 is fixedly installed with a wheel axle 13. The surface of the wheel axle 13 is rotatably sleeved with a limiting wheel 14. The limiting wheel 14 is in rolling contact with the outer ring wall of the track 11. The limiting wheel 14 on the slide 12 can rotate based on the wheel axle 13, so that the two slides 12 drive the connecting frame 17 to rotate, and have a supporting rolling effect from the horizontal position.
[0036] The slide 12 has ball seats 15 fixedly installed at both the upper and lower ends of its inner wall by brackets. A ball 16 is rolled inside the ball seat 15. The surface of the ball 16 is in rolling contact with the surface of the track 11. The ball 16 is made of solid stainless steel. When the slide 12 rotates along the track 11, it can not only ensure the stability of the slide 12 in the upper and lower position based on the track 11, but also reduce frictional resistance and further improve the smoothness of the rotation of the connecting frame 17.
[0037] Among them, stirring rods 18 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the connecting frame 17 and near the inner wall of the tank 10 to prevent uneven sedimentation. Several stirring blades 19 are welded on the surface of the stirring rod 18 at equal intervals along the vertical distribution. The stirring rod 18 rotates in conjunction with the stirring blades 19 near the inner wall area of the tank 10, thereby forming a peripheral stirring effect, which is suitable for large-scale production.
[0038] The tank 10 has a platform 1001 fixedly installed on one side of its outer wall via a bracket. The upper end of the platform 1001 is fixedly installed with a motor 1002 via a bracket. The motor 1002 has a drive shaft inside. The motor 1002 is a slow-speed model, and its actual speed can be set according to the stirring of the solid-liquid mixture. This avoids uneven sedimentation in some areas due to the speed being too slow, and also avoids secondary turbidity in the already settled material due to the speed being too fast. The lower end of the platform 1001 extends long enough to be placed on the ground.
[0039] The motor 1002 has a shaft 1006 fixedly connected to its shaft end via a coupling. The other end of the shaft 1006 is rotatably mounted with a bearing 1005. The outer ring wall of the bearing 1005 is fixed to the surface of the platform 1001 via a bracket. A drive bevel gear 1003 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the shaft 1006. A common linkage bevel gear 1004 is mounted along the lower ends of the two slides 12. The linkage bevel gear 1004 and the drive bevel gear 1003 are meshed together. When the connecting frame 17 needs to rotate, the power supply of the motor 1002 is turned on, so that the motor 1002 can rotate the shaft and link the shaft 1006. This causes the drive bevel gear 1003 to rotate and mesh with the linkage bevel gear 1004 to rotate. Thus, the two slides 12 can rotate around the track 11, and finally, the connecting frame 17 can rotate.
[0040] One side of the tank 10 is fixedly mounted with a support frame 201. A water pump 203 is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 201. A delivery pipe 202 is installed on the inlet flange of the water pump 203. The end of the delivery pipe 202 away from the water pump 203 is connected to the flange of the transition interface 24. The power supply of the water pump 203 is turned on, so that the water pump 203 can pump water. Thus, the upper liquid can be extracted through the liquid extraction pipe 21 in conjunction with the two transition interfaces and the delivery pipe 202. The lower end of the support frame 201 is long enough to be placed on the ground.
[0041] In practice
[0042] The bottom of the tank 10 in this design adopts a conical structure design, which facilitates centralized discharge of materials after sedimentation. The slide 12 rolls in contact with the track 11 through the inner axle 13 and the limiting wheel 14, ensuring that the slide 12 rotates smoothly along the track 11. The upper and lower ends of the slide 12 are also provided with ball seats 15 and balls 16. The rolling contact between the stainless steel balls 16 and the track 11 further reduces frictional resistance and enhances the stability of the connecting frame 17 rotation. The connecting frame 17 is fixedly installed on both sides with stirring rods 18. The stirring rods 18 have stirring surfaces evenly distributed on their surfaces. When the blade 19 rotates, it agitates the material in the inner wall area of the tank 10 to prevent local sedimentation and accumulation. The motor 1002 drives the drive bevel gear 1003 through the shaft 1006, and the meshing bevel gear 1004 drives the slide 12 to rotate, thereby linking the stirring rod 18 and the stirring blade 19 to achieve periodic stirring. This design effectively avoids the problem of blockage of the feed interface 101 caused by uneven sedimentation during large-scale solid-liquid mixing. At the same time, the rotation speed is controlled by the slow motor 1002, which not only prevents secondary turbidity of the sediment, but also ensures the stirring effect.
[0043] Multiple discharge ports 101 distributed throughout the bottom of the tank 10 connect to external pipes, forming a multi-pipe discharge structure. Each discharge port 101 is equipped with a valve 102, the valve core of which is embedded inside the port. By independently controlling the opening and closing of the valve 102, discharge can be achieved in different directions or in batches. The conical tank bottom design accelerates the concentration of sediment towards each discharge port 101, while the multi-pipe layout avoids blockage of a single pipe due to excessive material concentration. The high-foot design at the bottom of the tank 10 provides ample operating space for the discharge ports 101 to connect to the pipes, and also facilitates maintenance. The continuous stirring of the stirring rod 18 and stirring blade 19, combined with the distribution of multiple discharge ports 101, ensures uniform discharge of sediment, making it particularly suitable for the continuous processing of high-concentration materials.
[0044] The pumping mechanism 2 extracts the upper layer of clear liquid from the tank 10 through the pumping pipe 21. The upper end of the pumping pipe 21 is connected in sequence to the transition interface 1 22, the sealing bearing 23, and the transition interface 24. The inner ring of the sealing bearing 23 is interference-fitted with the transition interface 24, and the outer ring is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the transition interface 1 22 to form a rotary sealing structure. When the connecting frame 17 drives the pumping pipe 21 to rotate with the slide 12, the sealing bearing 23 ensures that the static connection between the transition interface 24 and the delivery pipe 202 is not affected, thus achieving dynamic sealing. The water pump 203 is fixed by the support frame 201, and its inlet end is connected to the flange of the transition interface 24 through the delivery pipe 202. After starting, it can stably extract the upper layer of liquid.
