Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sludge conveying equipment, specifically to a bridge-breaking structure for a sludge screw pump. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of wastewater treatment, with the acceleration of urbanization and the expansion of industrial scale, the amount of wastewater generated is constantly increasing, and the demand for sludge treatment technology is becoming increasingly urgent. Sludge screw pumps are usually used when treating wastewater. The working principle is to use the rotation of the eccentric single-helix screw in the double-helix bushing to push the sludge wastewater from the suction port to the discharge port along the spiral groove.
[0003] Currently, in order to prevent sludge from clogging or bridging at the feed inlet, sludge screw pumps are usually equipped with a special bridging component to break up sludge bridges and restore the fluidity of the sludge.
[0004] The problem with existing technology is that the traditional structure sets up a feed hopper and a stirring shaft at the feed inlet to form an enlarged space to stir and crush the input sludge, improve its fluidity, and prevent blockage.
[0005] However, with the continuous input of sludge, the feed hopper is also filled with sludge. The sludge is compressed due to the limited space, which still results in the formation of mud clumps and mud bridges.
[0006] Therefore, if the amount of sludge input at the feed hopper can be controlled to allow for relatively ample space during the sludge crushing process, it will prevent the sludge from being squeezed into clumps, thereby effectively crushing the sludge, ensuring smooth screw conveying, and avoiding blockages. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this invention provides a bridge-breaking structure for a sludge screw pump.
[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A bridge-breaking structure for a sludge screw pump, comprising a housing, a motor unit, a main shaft, and a screw. The housing is provided with a feed hopper. A sludge crushing component and a rotating gate component are coaxially arranged between the main shaft and the screw. The main shaft is provided with a key-shaped protrusion along the radial direction. The rotating gate component includes a bushing part, a connecting arm, an arc-shaped baffle part, and a telescopic component. The bushing part is provided with an inner hole adapted to the outer diameter of the main shaft. The inner hole wall is coaxially provided with an annular groove adapted to the diameter and axial width of the key-shaped protrusion. A plurality of telescopic holes are equally divided around the center of the annular groove. The telescopic component is disposed in the telescopic holes for sliding engagement. The telescopic component rotates with the rotating gate component and, under the action of gravity, extends out of the telescopic hole to abut against the key-shaped protrusion to form synchronous rotation, or retracts into the telescopic hole to allow the key-shaped protrusion to pass through.
[0009] The feed hopper is provided with a feed inlet and a cavity. The outline of the feed inlet is adapted to the outline of the arc-shaped baffle and is provided with a track groove along the rotation path of the arc-shaped baffle. The arc-shaped baffle rotates gradually with the main shaft, intermittently closing and opening the feed inlet.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that: the two ends of the sludge crushing component are provided with connecting bushings in the axial direction, the connecting bushings are provided with a first connecting through hole in the radial direction, the main shaft and the screw are respectively inserted into the connecting bushings, and a second connecting through hole is provided corresponding to the first connecting through hole; the main shaft and the screw are detachably bolted to the connecting bushings.
[0011] The sludge crusher is provided with stirring blades on its outer peripheral surface, the key-shaped protrusion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crusher, and the rotating door is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crusher.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the stirring blade includes a spiral part and a connecting part. The spiral part is coaxially arranged with the sludge crushing component and has a diameter larger than that of the sludge crushing component, forming a gap between the spiral part and the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crushing component. The connecting part connects and fixes the spiral part to the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crushing component, and the spiral part pushes the sludge to move towards one side of the screw.
[0013] A further feature of this invention is that the rotating gate is located in the middle section of the sludge crushing component and the spiral part. The rotating gate is provided with several connecting arms and arc-shaped baffles evenly distributed around the center. The progressive rotation of the connecting arms cooperates with the spiral part to crush the sludge.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: as shown in the appendix to the specification. Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the telescopic component rotates with the rotating gate component, and under the action of gravity, it moves out of the telescopic hole and abuts against the key-shaped protrusion to form synchronous rotation, or it retracts into the telescopic hole to allow the key-shaped protrusion to pass through. This creates a speed difference between the rotating gate component and the main shaft. The arc-shaped baffle part intermittently closes and opens the feed inlet of the feed hopper, allowing sludge to enter the feed hopper in parts and blocking subsequent sludge. This prevents the cavity inside the feed hopper from being filled, providing ample space for the sludge crushing process, preventing it from being squeezed and compressed, thereby improving the crushing effect and avoiding screw blockage.
[0015] The gap formed between the spiral section and the outer circumferential surface of the sludge crusher, along with the staggered fit of the connecting arm, further enhances the crushing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0025] A bridge-breaking structure for a sludge screw pump (4-type pump) includes a housing 1, a motor unit 2, a main shaft 3, and a screw 4. The housing 1 is provided with a feed hopper 11. A sludge crushing component 5 and a rotating gate component 6 are coaxially arranged between the main shaft 3 and the screw 4. The main shaft 3 has a keyed protrusion 7 arranged radially.

The bushing portion 61 has an inner hole adapted to the outer diameter of the main shaft 3. The inner wall of the bore is coaxially provided with an annular groove 611 that matches the diameter and axial width of the key-shaped protrusion 7. A plurality of telescopic holes 612 are equally distributed around the center of the annular groove 611. The telescopic member 64 is disposed in the telescopic hole 612 for sliding engagement. The telescopic member 64 rotates with the rotating door member 6 and, under the action of gravity, extends out of the telescopic hole 612 to abut against the key-shaped protrusion 7 to form synchronous rotation, or retracts into the telescopic hole 612 to allow the key-shaped protrusion 7 to pass through.
[0026] The feed hopper 11 is provided with a feed inlet 12 and a cavity. The outline of the feed inlet 12 is adapted to the outline of the arc-shaped baffle part 63, and a track groove is provided along the rotation path of the arc-shaped baffle part 63. The arc-shaped baffle part 63 rotates gradually with the main shaft 3, intermittently closing and opening the feed inlet 12.
[0027] The sludge crushing component 5 is provided with connecting bushings 51 at both ends of the axial direction. The connecting bushings 51 are provided with first connecting through holes in the radial direction. The main shaft 3 and the screw 4 are respectively inserted into the connecting bushings 51, and a second connecting through hole is provided corresponding to the first connecting through hole. The main shaft 3 and the screw 4 are detachably bolted to the connecting bushings 51.
[0028] The sludge crusher 5 is provided with stirring blades on its outer peripheral surface, the key-shaped protrusion 7 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crusher 5, and the rotating door 6 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crusher 5.
[0029] The stirring blade includes a spiral part 52 and a connecting part 53. The spiral part 52 is coaxially arranged with the sludge crushing part 5 and its diameter is larger than that of the sludge crushing part 5, forming a gap between the spiral part 52 and the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crushing part 5. The connecting part 53 connects and fixes the spiral part 52 and the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crushing part 5. The spiral part 52 pushes the sludge to move towards one side of the screw 4.
[0030] The rotating gate component 6 is located in the middle section of the sludge crushing component 5 and the spiral part 52. The rotating gate component 6 is provided with a number of connecting arms 62 and arc-shaped baffles 63 evenly distributed around the center. The progressive rotation of the connecting arms 62 cooperates with the spiral part 52 to crush the sludge.
[0031] As per the instruction manual Figure 4 , 5As shown, the telescopic member 64 rotates with the rotating door member 6, and under the action of gravity, it goes out of the telescopic hole 612 and abuts against the key-shaped protrusion 7 to form synchronous rotation, or it retracts into the telescopic hole 612 to allow the key-shaped protrusion 7 to pass through. This creates a speed difference between the rotating door member 6 and the main shaft 3. The arc-shaped baffle 63 intermittently closes and opens the feed port 12 of the feed hopper 11, allowing sludge to enter the feed hopper 11 in parts and blocking subsequent sludge. This prevents the cavity inside the feed hopper 11 from being filled, providing ample space for the sludge crushing process, preventing it from being squeezed and compressed, thereby improving the crushing effect and avoiding blockage of the screw 4.
[0032] The gap formed between the spiral part 52 and the outer peripheral surface of the sludge crusher 5, along with the staggered cooperation with the connecting arm 62, further enhances the crushing effect.
