[0002] In the wastewater treatment process, the centrally driven sludge scraper in the secondary sedimentation tank is used to scrape and collect sludge from the bottom of the tank, achieving sludge-water separation. Its working bridge moves in a circular motion on a track surface around the secondary sedimentation tank via rubber wheels. However, the vibration generated by the working bridge's rubber wheels running on an uneven track surface can lead to many problems such as mechanical damage, reduced process efficiency, and safety hazards.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology are: Vibration and shock to the equipment will accelerate the wear of key components such as drive shafts, bearings, and gears in the central drive unit, and shorten the equipment's lifespan.

[0004] Fluctuations in the load of the equipment can cause unstable motor current, leading to overheating or even burnout.

[0005] The vibration of the rubber rollers causes fluctuations in the pressure between the scraper blade and the bottom of the tank, which leads to increased sludge residue, reduced scraping efficiency, and affected effluent quality.

[0006] Long-term vibration of equipment may cause structural loosening, thus creating safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0022] This utility model application claims protection for a shock absorption device for the working bridge of a center-driven sludge scraper in a secondary sedimentation tank of a sewage treatment plant, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, it includes a working bridge 1, a track surface 2, rubber wheels 3, rubber wheel supports 4, a central drive device 5, a pool bottom scraper 6, a shock absorption module 100, and a connecting module 200, wherein: A central drive device 5 is located below one end of the working bridge 1; a bottom scraper 6 is located below the middle of the working bridge 1 and is rigidly connected to the working bridge 1; a connecting module 200 is fixedly located at the end of the working bridge 1 away from the central drive device 5; the connecting module 200 is used to connect the working bridge 1 and the shock absorption module 100; the shock absorption module 100 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting module 200; the bottom of the shock absorption module 100 is fixedly connected to the rubber wheel support 4; the rubber wheel 3 is rotatably arranged in the rubber wheel grooves 410 at both ends of the rubber wheel support 4; a track surface 2 is provided below the rubber wheel support 4, and the rubber wheel support 4 travels on the track surface 2 via the rubber wheel 3.

[0023] It should be noted that when the working bridge 1 of the sludge scraper in the secondary sedimentation tank of the sewage treatment plant encounters unevenness on the track surface 2 via the rubber wheel 3, the rubber wheel 3 will vibrate, and the vibration will be transmitted to the central drive device 5 and the sludge scraper 6 at the bottom of the tank by the rubber wheel support 4 and the working bridge 1. Long-term vibration will cause mechanical damage, reduced sludge scraping efficiency, and safety hazards.

[0024] It should be noted that the connecting module 200 includes a column 9, a fixed bracket 10, and a crossbeam 17; the crossbeam 17 is fixedly installed at the end of the bottom surface of the working bridge 1; the column 9 is vertically fixedly installed on both sides of the crossbeam 17; the fixed bracket 10 is fixedly and symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper part of the column 9; the fixed bracket 10 is parallel to the rubber wheel support 4.

[0025] It should be noted that the shock absorption module 100 includes a shock absorption spring 7, a hydraulic damper 8, an upper flange 11, a short connecting shaft 12, a lower flange 13, and a long connecting shaft 14. The upper part of the hydraulic damper 8 is fixedly connected to the upper flange 11 and then fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 10 through the short connecting shaft 12. The lower part of the hydraulic damper 8 is fixedly connected to the lower flange 13 and then fixedly connected to the rubber wheel support 4 through the long connecting shaft 14. The upper and lower ends of the shock absorption spring 7 are fixedly connected to the upper flange 11 and the lower flange 13 respectively, and are arranged vertically in parallel with the hydraulic damper 8 through the upper flange 11, the lower flange 13, and the shock absorption spring 7 provides elastic support.

[0026] It should be further explained that, in order to limit the hydraulic damper 8 and the shock-absorbing spring 7 to only perform shock-absorbing movements in the vertical direction, a horizontal limiting plate 15 is provided on the long connecting shaft 14; the horizontal limiting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the column 9 through a horizontally set limiting rod 16.

[0027] It should be further explained that this utility model designs a shock absorption device, using a shock absorption spring 7 to provide elastic support, buffer the impact from the unevenness of the track surface 2, and reduce the instantaneous load; using a hydraulic damper 8 to consume vibration energy and suppress the rebound oscillation of the shock absorption spring 7; and using a horizontal limiting plate 15 and a limiting rod 16 to restrict the shock absorption spring 7 and the hydraulic damper 8 to only perform vertical shock absorption movement, thereby improving the smoothness of the working bridge 1 when rotating.

[0028] It should be further explained that, in order to ensure the damping movement space of the hydraulic damper 8 and the shock absorber spring 7 in the vertical direction, when the shock absorber spring 7 is in the ultimate compression state, the distance between the rubber wheel support 4 and the crossbeam 17 shall not be less than 80mm.

[0029] In this specific embodiment, the shock-absorbing spring 7 is made of 60Si2MnA silicon manganese steel or SUS304 stainless steel.

[0030] In this specific embodiment, the hydraulic damper 8 is model ACE MC25M, with a damping coefficient of 50 N·s / mm, a stroke of 50 mm, and a shaft diameter of 25 mm.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the sealing material of the hydraulic damper 8 is fluororubber.

[0032] In this specific embodiment, the outer diameter of both the upper flange 11 and the lower flange 13 is 180mm, and the thickness is 30mm.

[0033] It should be noted that when the rubber wheel 3 is impacted by the unevenness of the track surface 2, the impact vibration is transmitted to the damping spring 7 and the hydraulic damper 8 through the rubber wheel support 4 and the long connecting shaft 14. The damping spring 7 first buffers and absorbs the impact energy through its own elastic deformation, converting the impact energy into elastic potential energy, thereby reducing the instantaneous load. When the impact force disappears, the damping spring 7 releases the stored elastic potential energy and returns to its original shape. During the elastic extension and rebound of the damping spring 7, the hydraulic damper 8 uses internal oil... The flow generates a damping force opposite to the vibration direction of the damping spring 7. The magnitude of the damping force is adjustable to adapt to different operating conditions. It converts part of the energy absorbed by the damping spring 7 and the energy absorbed by itself into heat energy for dissipation, thereby suppressing the rapid extension, contraction and rebound oscillation of the damping spring 7 and effectively reducing the vibration amplitude transmitted to the working bridge 1. This stabilizes the contact pressure between the bottom scraper 6 and the bottom of the pool, improves the scraping efficiency, and reduces the damage of impact vibration to key components such as the transmission shaft, bearings, gears, and motor in the central drive device 5, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the scraping equipment.
