[0015] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown, a dewatering device for a coal washing plant includes a dewatering tank 1 and a dewatering cylinder 2 disposed inside the dewatering tank 1. The dewatering tank 1 is provided with a drive component 3 for rotating the dewatering cylinder 2, and also includes a cleaning component 4 disposed inside the dewatering tank 1 for cleaning the dewatering cylinder 2.

[0017] A dewatering cylinder 2 is installed inside the dewatering tank 1 to dewater the washed coal. The dewatering cylinder 2 is rotated by the power of the drive component 3, and the water in the coal is separated under the action of centrifugal force. The drive component 3 is driven by the drive motor to rotate the shaft, and the shaft drives the three connecting frames to rotate. Since the connecting frames are fixed to the inner wall of the dewatering cylinder 2, the dewatering cylinder 2 is rotated. When the dewatering cylinder 2 dewaters the coal, some impurities may adhere to the filter holes of the dewatering cylinder 2 and cause blockage. The impurity removal component 4 can clean the impurities attached to the dewatering cylinder 2 while it is rotating. Both the dewatering tank 1 and the dewatering cylinder 2 are set in an inclined position.

[0018] The impurity removal component 4 includes a through hole 41 opened at the top of the dehydration tank 1. A sealing groove 42 is opened at the top of the through hole 41. A connecting plate 43 is inserted into the inside of the through hole 41. A sealing plate 44 and a hard brush 45 are fixed at the top and bottom of the connecting plate 43, respectively. The hard brush 45 is in contact with the outside of the dehydration cylinder 2. The sealing plate 44 is installed on the inner wall of the sealing groove 42 by bolts. Two symmetrical handles 46 are fixed at the top of the sealing plate 44.

[0019] A through hole 41 is made at the top of the dewatering tank 1 to facilitate the insertion of the connecting plate 43 into the dewatering tank 1. The hard brush 45 at the bottom of the connecting plate 43 contacts the outside of the dewatering cylinder 2. After the connecting plate 43 is inserted into the dewatering tank 1, the sealing plate 44 at the top of the connecting plate 43 falls into the sealing groove 42, achieving a certain limiting effect and effectively preventing water from splashing out of the dewatering tank 1. Then, the sealing plate 44 is fixed in the sealing groove 42 by bolts. The inner walls of the sealing groove 42 and the sealing plate 44 are provided with threaded holes that match the bolts. After the sealing plate 44 is fixed, when the dewatering cylinder 2 rotates, the hard brush 45 will clean the filter holes on the dewatering cylinder 2 to prevent coal impurities from clogging the filter holes.

[0020] A coal feed cylinder 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the dewatering box 1, and the coal outlet end of the coal feed cylinder 5 extends into the interior of the dewatering cylinder 2. A coal outlet 6 is opened on the side of the dewatering box 1 away from the coal feed cylinder 5. An inclined discharge plate 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the coal outlet 6, and the discharge plate 7 is located below the discharge port of the dewatering cylinder 2. Two limiting plates 8 for supporting the dewatering cylinder 2 are fixed to the inner wall of the dewatering box 1. A fixing ring 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 8, and the fixing ring 9 is fixed to the outside of the dewatering cylinder 2. Two inclined drainage plates 10 are fixed to the inner wall of the dewatering box 1. A drainage pipe 11 is connected to the inner wall of the dewatering box 1. A flange is provided at the bottom end of the drainage pipe 11. A PLC controller 12 is fixed to the top of the dewatering box 1. The PLC controller 12 is electrically connected to the motor in the drive component 3. An inspection cover 13 is installed on one side of the dewatering box 1 by bolts. Support legs 14 are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the dewatering box 1.

[0021] The coal feed hopper 5 is used to connect the coal washing equipment. The washed coal is conveyed to the dewatering hopper 2 through its arc-shaped channel. Because the dewatering hopper 2 is inclined, the coal falls with the inclination angle as it rotates and is discharged from the coal outlet 6. A discharge plate 7 is installed below the coal outlet 6 to prevent coal from accumulating there. Two limiting plates 8 are fixed to the inner wall of the dewatering box 1 to support the dewatering hopper 2. Simultaneously, the stability of the dewatering hopper 2 during rotation is improved by the rotating of the fixing ring 9 fixed to the outside of the dewatering hopper 2 within the limiting plates 8, thereby improving the stability of coal dewatering. Two inclined drainage plates 10 are mirror-fixed to the inner wall of the dewatering box 1 to allow the coal to drain properly. The water separated from the wastewater flows to the drain pipe 11. The drain pipe 11 has a flange at the bottom, which can be connected to the wastewater treatment equipment for wastewater treatment and reuse. By fixing the PLC controller 12 on the top of the dewatering tank 1, the drive unit 3 can be started by the PLC controller 12. The circuit working principle of the motor in the PLC controller 12 and the drive unit 3 is common knowledge in the field and has been disclosed in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail here. By setting the inspection cover 13, the dewatering tank 1 can be opened when the motor fails, the motor can be separated from the shaft, and the motor can be disassembled, repaired or replaced. By setting the support leg 14, the dewatering tank 1 can be supported to improve its working stability.

[0022] Working principle: The operator inserts the connecting plate 43 into the dewatering tank 1, so that the hard bristle brush 45 at the bottom of the connecting plate 43 contacts the outside of the dewatering cylinder 2 inside the dewatering tank 1. After the connecting plate 43 is inserted into the dewatering tank 1, the sealing plate 44 at the top of the connecting plate 43 falls into the sealing groove 42. Then, the sealing plate 44 is fixed in the sealing groove 42 with bolts. After the sealing plate 44 is fixed, the motor in the drive unit 3 is started by the PLC controller 12. At the same time, the coal washing equipment transports the washed coal into the dewatering cylinder 2 through the arc-shaped channel of the coal inlet 5. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the three connecting frames to rotate. Since the connecting frame is fixed to the inner wall of the dewatering cylinder 2, it drives the dewatering cylinder 2 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the dewatering cylinder 2 separates the water from the coal. When the dewatering cylinder 2 rotates, the hard brush 45 cleans the filter holes on the dewatering cylinder 2 to prevent coal impurities from clogging the filter holes. The separated wastewater flows into the drain pipe 11 through the drain plate 10. The bottom of the drain pipe 11 is equipped with a flange, which can be connected to the wastewater treatment equipment for wastewater treatment and secondary use. Since the dewatering cylinder 2 is inclined, the dewatered coal falls with the tilt angle as the dewatering cylinder 2 rotates and is discharged from the coal outlet 6.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any indirect modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
