Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sewage treatment technology, and in particular relates to a sludge scraping device at the end of the inlet channel of a rectangular perimeter-inlet and perimeter-outlet secondary sedimentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] In the wastewater treatment process system of a wastewater treatment plant, the rectangular circumferential inlet and outlet secondary sedimentation tank is the core facility for achieving sludge-water separation, and its operating status directly affects the stability of the effluent quality. This type of sedimentation tank receives treated water from the preceding process stage through an inlet channel and completes the solid-liquid separation process based on its circumferential inlet and outlet structure design, which is a key link in ensuring that wastewater treatment meets discharge standards. However, rectangular perimeter-inlet and perimeter-outlet sedimentation tanks face a significant problem of scum accumulation during actual operation. Specifically, due to multiple factors, including residual pollutants from previous processes, algae growth caused by sunlight, and microbial metabolism triggered by seasonal temperature changes, a large amount of scum continuously accumulates in the inlet channel. As the water flows towards the middle and later sections of the inlet channel, the flow velocity gradually decreases, and the scum, lacking sufficient kinetic energy, cannot be smoothly discharged through the scum weir, thus accumulating continuously in the inlet channel. After long-term operation, the undischarged scum forms a sludge buildup above the water surface, not only damaging the visual cleanliness of the sedimentation tank but also causing serious functional problems: when the scum accumulation exceeds a critical value, it will overflow the partition wall between the inlet and outlet channels and enter the outlet channel, directly polluting the effluent and failing to meet the preset water quality treatment standards. Currently, the main method for dealing with the aforementioned scum problem is manual cleaning, which has significant limitations: manual cleaning consumes a large amount of manpower and time, and the processing efficiency is low. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technical solution that can efficiently solve the scum problem in the inlet channel of a rectangular perimeter-inlet and perimeter-outlet secondary sedimentation tank. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this application is to provide a slag scraping device at the end of the inlet channel for a rectangular circumferential inlet and outlet secondary sedimentation tank.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A slag scraping device at the end of the inlet channel of a rectangular circumferential inlet and outlet secondary sedimentation tank includes a drive motor, a drive sprocket, a second chain, a driven sprocket, a main shaft sprocket, an angle shaft sprocket, a first chain, and a scraper. The drive motor is located at the end of the water inlet channel and is fixed to the top of the pool by a motor bracket. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a drive sprocket, which is connected to a driven sprocket via a second chain. The driven sprocket is coaxial with the main shaft sprocket, which is connected to an angle shaft sprocket via a first chain. The first chain is equipped with multiple scrapers. The first chain and scraper are positioned above the water inlet channel.
[0005] The driven sprocket and the main shaft sprocket are mounted on the partition wall of the inlet and outlet water channel via a shaft fixing bracket.
[0006] The angular shaft sprocket is mounted on the partition wall of the inlet and outlet water channel via an angular shaft sprocket bracket.
[0007] The driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are located above the water outlet channel.
[0008] It also includes a scraper monitoring sensor installed on the pool body and a PLC controller for monitoring the scraper, wherein the PLC controller is connected to the scraper monitoring sensor and the drive motor.
[0009] The scraper is installed on half the length of the first chain. When it moves to the lower part of the first chain, it enters the water surface to scrape off the sludge. When the machine stops, it is completely on the upper part of the first chain.
[0010] This also includes a tensioning wheel installed on the partition wall of the inlet and outlet water channel, used to support and tension the first chain, and mounted via a tensioning sprocket bracket.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Improve slag scraping efficiency and reduce labor costs. By driving a motor to drive sprockets and chains, the scraper can operate continuously in a cycle, replacing the traditional manual cleaning method and greatly improving the efficiency of slag removal. At the same time, it reduces manpower input, lowers the labor costs of long-term operation and maintenance, and solves the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient manual cleaning. 2. Precisely remove scum from the end of the inlet channel to block the path of pollution spread. By using this application, the first chain and scraper are precisely positioned above the inlet channel, and the scraper directly penetrates the water surface to scrape off scum when it moves to the lower part of the chain. This can specifically remove the scum that accumulates at the end of the inlet channel due to the slowing of the water flow, blocking the scum from the source from climbing over the partition wall and entering the outlet channel. This effectively avoids the scum from polluting the effluent and ensures that the sewage treatment meets the discharge standards. 3. Optimize the scraper operation mode to extend equipment lifespan without affecting the water flow pattern in the canal. The scraper is installed on only half the length of the first chain, and when the machine is stopped, it is entirely on the upper part of the chain, which reduces the contact time with water when not in operation. This does not affect the flow pattern of the inlet channel and reduces the rate of corrosion and aging of the scraper caused by long-term immersion. Combined with the smoothness of the chain drive, this further extends the service life of the scraper and transmission components and reduces the frequency of equipment replacement. 4. Stable transmission design ensures operational reliability. Through the multi-stage transmission of the drive sprocket, second chain, driven sprocket, main shaft sprocket, and angle shaft sprocket, combined with the support and tension of the first chain by two tensioning wheels, problems such as chain loosening and deviation are effectively avoided, ensuring stable scraper running trajectory, uniform slag scraping effect, and improving the long-term reliability of the device. 5. Automated and intelligent control enables precise operation and maintenance. Equipped with scraper monitoring sensors and a PLC controller, it can monitor the scraper's operating status in real time and automatically control the start and stop of the drive motor through the PLC, realizing intelligent control of the slag scraping process. It can automatically adjust the operating frequency according to the amount of slag and provide timely warnings of equipment failures, reducing manual intervention and improving the accuracy of operation and maintenance. 6. Modular installation design, highly adaptable and easy to maintain. The drive motor, sprockets, and other components are fixed to the top of the tank and the partition walls of the inlet and outlet channels via brackets, eliminating the need to modify the main structure of the secondary sedimentation tank. This makes installation convenient and adaptable to rectangular circumferential inlet and outlet secondary sedimentation tanks of different sizes. The modular design also facilitates the inspection and replacement of individual components, reducing maintenance difficulty and costs. Attached Figure Description

[0016] like Figure 1-5 The diagram shows the structure of an embodiment of this application.
[0017] This embodiment provides a slag scraping device at the end of the inlet channel for a rectangular circumferential inlet and outlet secondary sedimentation tank, including a drive motor 1, a drive sprocket 13, a second chain 12, a driven sprocket 11, a main shaft sprocket 10, an angle shaft sprocket 7, a first chain 5, and a scraper 6; The drive motor 1 is located at the end of the water inlet channel and is fixed to the top of the pool by the motor bracket 2; The output shaft of the drive motor 1 is connected to a drive sprocket 13, which is connected to a driven sprocket 11 via a second chain 12.

The first chain 5 is provided with a plurality of scrapers 6. The first chain 5 and scraper 6 are positioned above the water inlet channel.
[0018] In use, the drive motor 1 drives the active sprocket 13 to rotate, and the active sprocket 13 drives the driven sprocket 11 to rotate through the second chain 12.
