Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater recycling and waste residue resource utilization technology, specifically a wastewater and waste residue resource utilization system for PC prefabrication plants. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of the circular economy concept and the improvement of environmental regulations, the industry's demand for the resource utilization of PC wastewater and waste residue is becoming increasingly urgent. Currently, traditional treatment methods such as natural sedimentation, simple landfill, or open-air dumping are not only inefficient and wasteful of resources, but may also cause dust and secondary pollution of the filtrate. To protect the environment, wastewater generated from cleaning PC waste, tanker waste, waste materials, site wastewater, wastewater from cleaning conveying equipment, and other wastewater from mixing plants must undergo systematic treatment to recover usable resources. Wastewater must be treated before discharge or reuse. Therefore, wastewater treatment systems have become indispensable equipment in precast concrete mixing plants. After each feeding, some residual concrete will inevitably remain in the hopper or tanker, and cleaning will inevitably generate mortar. Furthermore, precast concrete mixing plants produce some substandard concrete for various reasons, which will also generate a large amount of mortar during cleaning. Wastewater will also be generated during the cleaning and rinsing of the mixing plant site from waste collected from other areas within the precast concrete mixing plant. All of these wastewaters must be treated by a wastewater treatment system to achieve resource recycling and reuse. In order to conserve resources, protect the environment, and achieve sustainable economic development, a wastewater treatment system suitable for all precast concrete mixing plants has been invented, which effectively solves the above problems.

[0060] This system is divided into two branches: one branch processes PC waste, and the other branch processes tanker waste and wastewater from the factory.
[0061] The specific working principle is as follows:
[0062] When cleaning PC waste, the hopper of the PC production line containing residual material stops at a designated position above the unloading hopper 1. The operator adds water to the hopper. After adding water, the operator pours the waste from the tanker into the unloading hopper 1, which then flows into the scraper 2 below. The plastic cleaned by the scraper is conveyed to the lightweight aggregate workshop 4 via the bar screen 3. The remaining wastewater is conveyed to the fine sand recovery machine 6 via the bottom water pump A5 on one side of the scraper 2. After screening, the sand falls into the hopper via the belt conveyor A7, and then is conveyed to the bucket of the bucket elevator 16 via the belt conveyor B8, and lifted to the sand and gravel silo on the ground. The wastewater after removing the sand enters the underground mixing tank 18 through pipelines. A water pump B19 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank to pump the wastewater into the above-ground mixing tank 20. The mixing tank 20 is equipped with a stirring device 21. After intermittent stirring, the homogenized wastewater is pumped into the filter press 23 via the water pump C22 on one side of the bottom of the mixing tank 20. After pressure filtration, the waste material becomes filter cake, which falls into the hopper of the belt conveyor E24 below and is then transported to the pulverizer 25. After crushing, the material with low moisture content and high dispersion falls into the sand and gravel bin 17. The filtered water enters the clarification tank 26 through pipeline.
[0063] When cleaning tanker truck waste, the tanker truck stops at the designated washing position, water is added to the inside of the tanker truck, and after the washing is completed, the waste is unloaded onto the feeder 10 on one side and then conveyed to the mud and stone separator 11 below. After screening, large pieces of waste enter the box crusher 13 on one side below, while small pieces of waste and wastewater enter the vibrating screen 12 on the other side below. The large pieces of waste are crushed into compliant sizes by the box crusher 13 and then conveyed to the hopper of the belt conveyor D15 below. The small pieces of waste are dewatered by the vibrating screen and then enter the belt conveyor C14 below, and then conveyed to the hopper of the belt conveyor B8. The remaining wastewater flows into the conical pool 9 on the side through the drainage ditch. A water pump C22 is installed in the pool to pump the wastewater into the fine sand recovery machine. After screening, the sand falls into the hopper of the belt conveyor A7, and then is conveyed to the bucket of the bucket elevator 16 by the belt conveyor B8, and lifted to the sand and gravel silo on the ground. The wastewater after sand removal enters the underground mixing tank 18 through pipelines. A water pump B19 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank to pump the wastewater into the above-ground mixing tank 20, which then enters the above-mentioned circulation. Water pumps E28, F29, and G30 are installed in the clarification tank 26 to provide water for rinsing the mud-stone separator 11, the fine sand recovery machine 6, and the vibrating screen 12, respectively.
[0064] The entire system is controlled by the control system in the electrical control cabinet 31.
[0065] This system can fully automate the separation of precast concrete waste from on-site wastewater treatment, enabling aggregate and fine sand recycling, thus achieving resource reuse. Furthermore, the recycling of wastewater aligns perfectly with the environmental protection concept of resource conservation, making this system an indispensable environmentally friendly product for precast concrete mixing plants.
