[0002] In coal-fired power plants and other industrial facilities, desulfurization units are widely used to treat sulfur dioxide in flue gas. During the desulfurization process, gypsum filter cake is dewatered using a vacuum belt conveyor. Currently, existing gypsum filter cake treatment equipment uses a simple spray nozzle device. By designing several high-pressure nozzles and arranging them at equal intervals, the nozzle radiation area is limited, and the washing pressure and water volume are uneven. This cannot effectively remove residual impurities and chloride content from the filter cake surface, affecting the dewatering effect and resulting in high moisture content in the gypsum filter cake. At the same time, the product has a high chloride content, which hinders the resource utilization of gypsum filter cake. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a filter cake cleaning device 10 for a belt conveyor, including a spray assembly 11, a connector 12, and a cleaning assembly 13 for cleaning the filter cake on the belt conveyor. The cleaning assembly 13 includes a connecting plate 131 and a cleaning brush 132. The cleaning brush 132 is disposed on one side of the connecting plate 131. The connecting plate 131 is provided with a liquid outlet hole communicating with the spray assembly 11. One end of the connector 12 is connected to the spray assembly 11, and the other end of the connector 12 is connected to the other side of the connecting plate 131. The spray assembly 11 is disposed above the connecting plate 131 through the connector 12.
[0025] The belt conveyor filter cake cleaning device provided in this embodiment mainly includes a spray assembly 11, a connector 12, and a cleaning assembly 13.
[0026] The spray assembly 11 is used to provide cleaning fluid, such as water. The spray assembly 11 can be connected to an external cleaning fluid source via a pump or similar means, or the cleaning fluid source can be built into the spray assembly 11. In use, the spray assembly 11 is fixed above the belt conveyor, preferably near the front end of the belt conveyor. The spray assembly 11 can be implemented using existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.
[0027] The connector 12 is used to connect the cleaning assembly 13 to the spray assembly 11, so that the spray assembly 11 provides cleaning fluid to the cleaning assembly 13. The connector 12 can be implemented using existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.
[0028] The cleaning assembly 13 is used to clean surface impurities and free soluble substances, such as chloride salts, from the filter cake on the conveyor belt. The cleaning assembly 13 includes a connecting plate 131 and a cleaning brush 132. One side of the connecting plate 131 is positioned below the spray assembly 11 via a connector 12. The opposite side of the connecting plate 132 is provided with the cleaning brush 132. During installation, the cleaning brush 132 can contact the surface of the filter cake. During cleaning, the surface impurities of the filter cake are removed through friction between the cleaning brush 132 and the filter cake surface. Simultaneously, the cleaning liquid on the cleaning brush 132 can enter the interior of the filter cake, carrying away free soluble substances from inside the filter cake.
[0029] In this embodiment, by setting up a spray assembly, a connector, and a cleaning assembly, and the cleaning assembly includes a connecting plate and a cleaning brush, the surface impurities of the filter cake on the conveyor belt are cleaned by the cleaning brush during use, avoiding vacuum leakage during the cleaning process, improving the effectiveness of removing surface impurities from the filter cake, and the cleaning liquid on the cleaning brush can remove soluble substances inside the filter cake, reduce the moisture content of the filter cake, and improve the quality of the filter cake.
[0030] In one embodiment, the spray assembly 11 includes a main spray pipe 111 and a plurality of spray branch pipes 112. One end of the connector 12 is connected to the main spray pipe 111. The plurality of spray branch pipes 112 are spaced apart along the length of the connecting plate 131. The plurality of spray branch pipes 112 are provided with spray nozzles 1121, which are located above the liquid outlet.
[0031] The spray assembly 11 includes a main spray pipe 111 and multiple spray branch pipes 112 that are interconnected. The main spray pipe 111 extends along the length direction perpendicular to the belt conveyor. The multiple spray branch pipes 112 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the main spray pipe 111, and the spray nozzles 1121 of the spray branch pipes 112 are located above the liquid outlet holes, so that the cleaning liquid flowing out through the spray nozzles 1121 can better enter the cleaning brush 132 through the liquid outlet holes and better clean the impurities on the filter cake.
[0032] Preferably, control valves can be installed on the main spray pipe 111 and / or the branch spray pipe 112 to control the opening or closing of the main spray pipe 111 and / or the branch spray pipe 112, to meet different cleaning needs, such as controlling the amount of impurities at different locations on the filter cake. It should be noted that the control valves can be manual mechanical valves or electric valves, such as solenoid valves.
[0033] In one embodiment, the spray assembly 11 further includes a cleaning fluid distribution assembly, which includes an inlet 113, a storage chamber 114, and an outlet connected in sequence. The inlet 113 is connected to the spray nozzle 1121 and is located below the spray pipe 112. The outlet is connected to the outlet hole.
[0034] The spray assembly 11 also includes a cleaning fluid distribution assembly, which distributes the cleaning fluid evenly and directs it onto the cleaning brush 132. The cleaning fluid distribution assembly includes an inlet 113, a storage chamber 114, and an outlet. The inlet 113 is located below the spray nozzle 1121 and is elongated, with its length at least covering the outlet path of the spray nozzle 1121. The storage chamber 114 stores the cleaning fluid flowing in through the inlet 113 and evenly distributes the stored cleaning fluid to the outlet.
[0035] In one embodiment, the liquid storage chamber 114 is provided with an overflow component 1141, which divides the liquid storage chamber 114 into two interconnected chambers, a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is connected to the liquid inlet 113, and the second chamber is connected to the liquid outlet. The overflow component 1141 has a sloping surface 11411 on one side inside the second chamber, and the sloping surface 11411 connects the second chamber and the liquid outlet.
[0036] An overflow component 1141 is provided inside the liquid storage chamber 114, dividing the liquid storage chamber 114 into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is connected to the inlet 113, and the tops of the first and second chambers are connected. The overflow component 1141 has a sloping surface 11411 on one side inside the second chamber, extending from the top of the overflow component 1141 to the outlet. In use, when the cleaning fluid enters the first chamber through the inlet 113 and overflows from the first chamber, the overflowing cleaning fluid is evenly distributed to the outlet through the sloping surface 1141. The direction of the water flow of the cleaning fluid is as follows: Figure 2 As shown by the arrow.
[0037] In one embodiment, a guide plate 115 is provided around the liquid inlet 113, and the guide plate 115 is connected between the liquid inlet 113 and the first chamber.
[0038] The liquid inlet 113 is elongated, and guide plates 115 are provided around the liquid inlet 113. The four guide plates 115 surround and form a groove extending towards the first chamber, so that the cleaning liquid can flow into the first chamber accurately and overflow through the first chamber, thereby achieving a more uniform distribution of the cleaning liquid.
[0039] In one embodiment, in order to allow the cleaning fluid to flow more accurately into the first chamber, the cross-sectional area of the guide plate 115 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet 113 to the first chamber.
[0040] In one embodiment, the connecting plate 131 is elongated, and its length extends along a direction perpendicular to the length of the belt conveyor. The cleaning brushes 132 are evenly arranged along the length of the connecting plate 131, so that the cleaning brushes 132 can fully cover the surface of the filter cake, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0041] In one embodiment, the connector 12 is an elastic element.
[0042] Because filter cake thickness varies, with some being thicker and others thinner, the connector 12 is designed to better accommodate different filter cake thicknesses and ensure the cleaning brush 132 fits the filter cake more closely. When the filter cake thickness increases, the connector 12 is squeezed to increase the distance between the cleaning brush 132 and the filter cake; conversely, when the filter cake thickness decreases, the connector 12 is stretched to decrease the distance between the cleaning brush 132 and the filter cake. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the cleaning brush 132 and the filter cake according to its thickness, thus adapting to filter cakes of varying thicknesses.
[0043] In one embodiment, in order to better adapt to filter cakes of different thicknesses and enable the cleaning brush 132 to more closely clean impurities on the surface of the filter cake, the connector 12 is a spring.
[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dewatering system including a belt conveyor 20 and a belt conveyor filter cake cleaning device 10 as described above, wherein the belt conveyor filter cake cleaning device 10 is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the belt conveyor 20.
[0045] During installation, the belt conveyor filter cake cleaning device 10 is positioned above the belt conveyor 20, and the cleaning components of the belt conveyor filter cake cleaning device 10 are perpendicular to the length direction of the belt conveyor 20.
[0046] In this embodiment, during use, the cleaning brush of the filter cake cleaning device on the belt conveyor cleans the surface impurities of the filter cake on the belt conveyor, avoiding vacuum leakage during the cleaning process, improving the effectiveness of removing impurities from the surface of the filter cake, and at the same time, the cleaning liquid on the cleaning brush can remove soluble substances inside the filter cake, reduce the moisture content of the filter cake, and improve the quality of the filter cake.
[0047] The above description is merely the principle and preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several other modifications can be made based on the principle of this utility model, and these modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
