[0023] The filter press in this embodiment is used to filter and separate silica from the wastewater discharged from the wire cutting machine. Silica sludge will remain between the filter plates after filtration, requiring regular cleaning.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a sludge cleaning device for a filter press for wastewater treatment, including a gantry frame mounted on the filter press 1, a top plate 31 mounted on the top of the gantry frame, multiple scraper guide grooves 32 mounted on the gantry frame, a sludge cleaning scraper 5 that is limited and inserted into the scraper guide grooves 32, a telescopic cylinder 4 mounted on the top plate 31 for adjusting the lifting and lowering of the sludge cleaning scraper 5, multiple pulse nozzles 7 mounted on the bottom side wall of the sludge cleaning scraper 5, and an air pump 6 mounted on the top plate 31 to supply air to the pulse nozzles 7.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the gantry frame includes a sliding base 2, a bracket 3 mounted on the sliding base 2, and a top plate 31 mounted on the bracket 3. Sliding bases 2 are respectively installed at the bottom of both sides of the gantry frame. Multiple traveling wheels 22 are mounted on the sliding base 2, and servo motors 21 driving the traveling wheels 22 are also installed. The servo motors 21 on both sides of the sliding base 2 can be controlled by a controller to move synchronously.

[0026] In a specific implementation, guide rails 12 for limiting the travel wheel 22 are also installed on both sides of the filter press 1; specifically, the guide rails 12 are grooves that ensure the travel wheel 22 travels in a straight line.

[0027] In this embodiment, a crossbeam is installed on the side wall of the bracket 3, and scraper guide grooves 32 are symmetrically fixed on the crossbeam; sliding gaps are reserved between the two ends of the mud cleaning scraper 5 and the bottom of the two scraper guide grooves 32; the thickness direction of the mud cleaning scraper 5 is also reserved with the scraper guide grooves 32.

[0028] Two cleaning scrapers 5 are symmetrically installed below the top plate 31, and the upper ends of the cleaning scrapers 5 are respectively connected to the telescopic ends of the telescopic cylinder 4; a position sensor 8 (specifically designed as two) for detecting the position of the filter plate 11 on the filter press 1 is also installed on the gantry frame and between the two cleaning scrapers 5; wherein the position sensor 8 is one of the ultrasonic position sensor, infrared position sensor, and laser position sensor.

[0029] In use, the position sensor 8 detects the position of the filter press plate 11, thereby controlling the servo motor 21 to adjust the mud cleaning scraper 5 on the gantry frame to be symmetrically arranged above both sides of the filter press plate 11; wherein the telescopic cylinder 4 adjusts the raising and lowering of the mud cleaning scraper 5 to scrape off the silica mud attached to the filter press plate 11.

[0030] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 Two guide rods 41 are installed on the top of the sludge scraper 5. The upper end of the guide rod 41 passes through the top of the top plate 31. A bushing adapted to the guide rod 41 is installed on the top plate 31. When the telescopic cylinder 4 adjusts the lifting and lowering of the sludge scraper 5, the guide rods 41 can be used to maintain the vertical lifting and lowering state of the sludge scraper 5. The telescopic cylinder 4 is an electric telescopic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, which is convenient to move with the gantry frame. In addition, in this embodiment, the scraper guide groove 32 is a U-shaped seat, which has a vertical through groove adapted to the wall thickness of the sludge scraper 5, which also helps to limit the vertical lifting and lowering state of the sludge scraper 5.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sludge scraper 5 includes a straight section and an inclined scraper section connected to the straight section and close to the filter press 11 (specifically, the angle between the two is 45° to 60°); a plurality of pulse nozzles 7 are provided on the inclined scraper section, and the pulse nozzles 7 are connected to the air outlet of the air pump 6 through an air supply pipe; wherein the air supply pipe includes a pulse air pipe 61 fixed to the side wall of the support 3 and a flexible hose 62 connected to the pulse air pipe 61, and the flexible hose 62 is a spring coil.

The telescopic cylinder 4 adjusts the descent of the cleaning scraper 5 to clean the silica mud attached to the filter press plate 11. At the same time, the air pump 6 supplies air to the pulse nozzle 7 installed on the cleaning scraper 5, so as to assist the inclined scraper section of the cleaning scraper 5 to quickly scrape off the silica mud on its side wall by pneumatic means. The scraped silica mud falls directly into the equipment, and there is a mud discharge port on the bottom side wall of the equipment.

[0033] In practical use, the silica mud can be cleaned one by one by the filter plates 11 on the filter press 1.

[0034] The material of the part of the sludge scraper 5 that contacts the filter press plate 11 is nylon, that is, the inclined scraper section is made of nylon with a certain toughness to prevent damage to the filter cloth on the filter press plate 11.
