Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of solid-liquid separation devices, and in particular to a double-helix solid-liquid separator. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of environmental engineering and industrial solid-liquid treatment, the stacked spiral solid-liquid separator is widely used due to its high dewatering efficiency and compact structural design. Chinese invention patent CN105999800B discloses a pendulum-type stacked spiral solid-liquid separator, which achieves solid-liquid separation through the staggered arrangement of fixed and movable rings and the pendulum-like motion of the movable rings, solving problems such as easy deformation and severe wear of the drive rod in traditional equipment. However, this technology uses a single spiral shaft to convey materials, which has limitations such as limited conveying efficiency and susceptibility to clogging when processing high-concentration sludge and fibrous materials, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale continuous production and complex material processing.
[0003] The main technical bottlenecks of existing single-spiral stacked disc separation equipment are as follows:
[0004] Limited conveying efficiency and throughput: When the helical blades of a single helical shaft push materials, the axial thrust is singular. Especially for high-concentration sludge with a moisture content of more than 80% or mixed materials containing a large amount of fiber and particulate matter, slippage and stagnation are likely to occur during the conveying process, resulting in low overall processing efficiency and making it unsuitable for industrial-scale application scenarios.
[0005] Insufficient anti-clogging ability: When processing materials containing impurities such as fibers, hair, and plant residues, the single shearing force of the single spiral shaft is difficult to effectively disperse the fiber entanglement, and blockage is easily formed at the gap between the spiral shaft and the stacked blades. This not only affects the separation efficiency, but also requires frequent shutdowns for cleaning, increasing maintenance costs.
[0006] Bottleneck in improving dehydration effect: The squeezing action of the single spiral shaft is concentrated on a single axial path, resulting in insufficient bidirectional shearing force on the material, which makes it difficult to fully remove moisture from the solid particles.
[0007] Therefore, a double-helix solid-liquid separator needs to be designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a double-helix solid-liquid separator. This invention employs a double-helix blade conveying structure, which works in conjunction with a stacked plate separation system consisting of fixed and movable rings. This not only increases the sludge processing capacity but also further reduces the sludge moisture content and significantly enhances the anti-clogging ability for fibrous materials.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this device are:
[0017] This device employs a synergistic design of double-helix blades and a stacked structure to create an innovative mechanism of "bidirectional extrusion conveying + dynamic shear separation." The double-helix shaft utilizes a variable pitch and reverse rotation design, increasing the throughput of high-concentration sludge while further reducing the material's moisture content through cross-shearing. Driven by the eccentric mechanism of the main drive rod, the moving ring performs a pendulum-like motion, creating a periodic gap with the fixed ring. This, combined with the close-fitting rotation of the double-helix blades, enhances the dispersion of fibrous materials while preventing component wear. Attached Figure Description

A gearbox 13 is installed on the inner wall of the left side of the sludge discharge box 1. The left sides of the two helical blades 4 are fixedly connected to the two output shafts of the gearbox 13, respectively. Multiple body supports 7 are provided on the right side of the compression flanges 12. A sludge inlet box 2 is fixedly connected to the right side of the body support 7 located on the right side. The two drive helical shafts 3 extend through the sludge inlet box 2 to the outside. The upper end of each body support 7 is rotatably connected to a main drive rod 6 through a connecting bearing 16. A C-shaped shaft support 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of each connecting bearing 16. Two sets of movable components are provided on the adjacent sides of every two adjacent body supports 7.
[0026] The movable component includes a connecting piece 23 disposed between two main body supports 7. The connecting piece 23 is made of Q235 steel plate and is 10mm thick. Multiple movable rings 11 are provided between the connecting piece 23 and the main body support 7. A fixed ring 21 is provided between every two adjacent movable rings 11. Multiple eccentric bearings 17 are fixedly connected to the main drive rod 6. Multiple connecting pieces 23 are connected to the corresponding eccentric bearings 17. A round steel 10 is fixedly connected through multiple main body supports 7. Multiple through holes 20 are provided on the connecting piece 23. The round steel 10 passes through multiple through holes 20, movable rings 11 and fixed rings 21. Through holes 15 are provided on the connecting piece 23, the main body support 7, movable rings 11 and fixed rings 21. Multiple gaskets 22 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of each movable ring 11 and fixed ring 21. The gaskets 22 are made of nitrile rubber and are 3mm thick, serving as buffers and seals. Multiple gaskets 22 are fixedly connected to the round steel 10.
[0027] Among them, multiple main body brackets 7 are provided with round holes 19 and elliptical openings 18, and multiple elliptical openings 18 and round holes 19 are provided with auxiliary drive rods 9. Multiple linkage plates 23 are fixedly connected to the auxiliary drive rods 9, and multiple movable rings 11 are fixedly connected to the auxiliary drive rods 9.
[0028] The main drive rod 6 is connected to the active spiral shaft 3 located at the front through a transmission assembly 14. The transmission assembly 14 includes sprockets mounted on the active spiral shaft 3 and the main drive rod 6. The two sprockets are connected by a chain drive.

The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the reducer. The output shaft of the reducer is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the gearbox 13.
[0029] The functional principle of this invention can be explained through the following operation: The material to be separated is introduced into the mud inlet box 2. The spiral blades 4 on the two active spiral shafts 3 have opposite spiral directions. Under the action of the gearbox 13, the two active spiral shafts 3 rotate in opposite directions and begin to rotate. This reverse rotation design generates 2.3 times the axial thrust of a single spiral, which can efficiently transport materials. The main drive rod 6 is linked to the front active spiral shaft 3 through the transmission assembly 14. Its eccentric bearing 17 drives the lower end of the movable ring 11 to perform a pendulum motion, while the auxiliary drive rod 9 located above restricts the upper end of the movable ring 11 to perform vertical linear motion, forming a compound motion. The gap between the movable ring 11 and the fixed ring 21 changes periodically with the motion. When the movable ring 11 moves to the highest point, its elliptical inner edge and the circular inner edge of the fixed ring 21 form the minimum gap, which strongly squeezes the material to discharge the liquid; when it falls back, the gap increases, which facilitates the entry of subsequent materials. The difference between the maximum screw diameter of the spiral blade 4 and the inner diameter of the fixed ring 21 is ≤1mm. The spiral blade 4 fits and does not contact the movable ring 11. During conveying, it moves in conjunction with the movable ring 11 to form a dual effect of "spiral extrusion + stacked shearing". The anti-slip grooves 22 on the inner edges of the fixed ring 21 and the movable ring 11 further enhance the tearing effect on the fibers and avoid blockage.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
