[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sedimentation tank for sewage treatment, including a tank body 1, an I-beam 2 installed at the top of the tank body 1, a scraper assembly 3 installed on the I-beam 2, the scraper assembly 3 including a base 31, a first motor 32 installed on the base 31, the output shaft of the first motor 32 is fixedly connected to a roller 33, and the roller 33 is in rolling connection with the I-beam 2, the lower end of the base 31 is provided with a skimming assembly 34 and a sludge scraping assembly 35, the skimming assembly 34 including a skimming plate 343 and a second motor 342, the sludge scraping assembly 35 including a sludge scraping plate 355 and a third motor 352, the second motor 342 drives the skimming plate 343 to rotate, and the third motor 352 drives the sludge scraping plate 355 to rotate.

[0019] The rollers 33 are provided in two sets, which are located in the grooves on both sides of the I-beam 2. One set of rollers 33 is the driving roller, and the other set of rollers 33 is the driven roller. The first motor 32 drives the driving roller 33 to rotate, directly providing the power to move along the I-beam 2. The movement is achieved through rolling friction. The driven roller 33 rolls synchronously with the driving roller 33 to support the weight of the slag scraping assembly 3 and maintain balance. The base 31, the first motor 32 and the rollers 33 constitute the linear drive mechanism of the slag scraping assembly 3.

[0020] When the second motor 342 is working, it drives the skimming plate 343 to rotate and adjusts the deflection angle of the skimming plate 343. When the third motor 352 is working, it drives the sludge scraper 355 to rotate and adjusts the deflection angle of the sludge scraper 355. When skimming is not performed, the skimming plate 343 can rotate to avoid the scum. When skimming is performed, the skimming plate 343 rotates to the working position and contacts the floating scum on the water surface. When sludge scraping is not performed, the sludge scraper 355 can rotate to avoid the scum. When sludge scraping is performed, the sludge scraper 355 rotates to the working position. In operation, the scraper 355 contacts the bottom of the tank. The positions of the skimming plate 343 and the scraper 355 are adjusted by the linear drive mechanism. During the linear movement, the skimming plate 343 pushes the scum to the scum collection area, and the scraper 355 scrapes the sludge from the bottom of the tank to the sludge hopper 11. The scraper assembly 3 is located at the top of the tank body 1. The motor can drive the skimming plate 343 and the scraper 355 to move out of the sewage. The scraper assembly 3 has a simple structure, replacing the conventional chain scraper structure. It is easy to inspect and maintain, and has low operation and maintenance costs.

[0021] The skimming assembly 34 includes a first mounting bracket 341, a second motor 342 mounted on one end face of the first mounting bracket 341, an output shaft of the second motor 342 fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and a skimming plate 343 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. Figure 4 As shown, when the second motor 342 is working, it drives the rotating shaft at one end, and the rotating shaft drives the skimming plate 343 to rotate relative to the first mounting frame 341, thereby adjusting the deflection angle of the skimming plate 343.

[0022] The sludge scraping assembly 35 includes a second mounting bracket 351, a third motor 352 mounted on one end face of the second mounting bracket 351, an output shaft of the third motor 352 fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 353, a rotating shaft 353 fixedly connected to a drive arm 354, and a drive arm 354 fixedly connected to a scraper blade 355. Figure 4 As shown, when the third motor 352 is working, it drives the rotating shaft 353 at one end to rotate. The rotating shaft 353 drives the drive arm 354 to move, and the drive arm 354 drives the scraper 355 to move. The deflection angle of the scraper 355 is adjusted. When scraping mud, the scraper 355 is driven to contact the bottom of the pool.

[0023] The pool body 1 includes a sludge hopper 11, and a sludge discharge pipe 12 is installed inside the sludge hopper 11. The sludge discharge pipe 12 is connected to a pump body. When the pump body is working, the sludge inside the sludge hopper 11 is discharged through the sludge discharge pipe 12.

[0024] The pool body 1 has an inlet pipe 13 on one side and an outlet pipe 19 on the other side. Wastewater enters the pool body 1 through the inlet pipe 13 and is discharged through the outlet pipe 19 after sedimentation.

[0025] The inlet pipe 13 is equipped with a flow straightening wall 14, which has multiple sets of holes 141. The flow straightening wall 14 optimizes the water flow pattern through physical structure, creating stable and uniform flow conditions for the subsequent sedimentation process. Through the multiple sets of holes 141 on the flow straightening wall 14, the concentrated inlet water is decomposed into multiple fine streams, dispersing the kinetic energy of the water flow and making the inlet water evenly distributed across the cross section of the entire sedimentation zone, avoiding disturbance of the sludge layer and short-circuiting phenomenon caused by local high-speed flow.

[0026] Among them, a slag baffle 17 and a water outlet weir 18 are installed at the water outlet pipe 19. The slag baffle 17 is installed in front of the water outlet pipe 19 to intercept the floating scum on the water surface in the sedimentation zone and prevent it from flowing out with the clarified water.

[0027] The pool body 1 is equipped with a slag collection hopper 15, which is connected to a slag discharge pipe 16. The slag is pushed into the slag collection hopper 15 by the slag skimmer 343, and then enters the slag discharge pipe 16 through the slag collection hopper 15 and is discharged through the slag discharge pipe 16.

[0028] Working principle: Wastewater enters the inlet area through inlet pipe 13. The flow straightening wall 14 causes the wastewater to enter the sedimentation zone in a low-turbulence, uniform flow state, creating stable conditions for subsequent settling. In the sedimentation zone, the wastewater flows slowly in a laminar or mildly turbulent state. Some suspended solids, due to their density being greater than water, settle vertically to the bottom of the tank under gravity, forming a sludge layer. Solid particles in the wastewater with a density close to or less than that of water cannot settle naturally and float on the surface, forming scum. The clarified water after sedimentation is discharged from the outlet pipe 19 in the outlet area. During skimming, the skimming plate 343 rotates to the working position. When the sludge is in contact with the surface scum and is scraping the mud, the scraper plate 355 rotates to the working position and contacts the bottom of the pool. The position of the skimming plate 343 and the scraper plate 355 is adjusted by the linear drive mechanism of the scum scraping assembly 3. During the linear movement, the skimming plate 343 pushes the scum into the scum collection hopper 15, and then enters the scum discharge pipe 16 through the scum collection hopper 15, and is finally discharged through the scum discharge pipe 16. The scraper plate 355 scrapes the sludge at the bottom of the pool into the mud hopper 11. The sludge discharge pipe 12 is connected to the pump body. When the pump body works, the sludge inside the mud hopper 11 is discharged through the sludge discharge pipe 12.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
