Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sludge treatment equipment. Specifically, this utility model discloses an automatic cleaning device for a screw press dewatering machine. Background Technology
[0002] Screw press dewatering machines dewater sludge through the relative motion of the screw shaft and the moving and stationary blades. However, after long-term operation, sludge tends to accumulate and harden in the gaps between the blades, causing a sudden increase in load during startup and even preventing the machine from starting, requiring frequent manual cleaning. Existing cleaning methods, such as unidirectional high-pressure water washing or mechanical scraping, suffer from incomplete cleaning, are time-consuming and labor-intensive, or can damage the equipment structure, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient and automated cleaning. In addition, traditional cleaning devices cannot effectively dry the blades, and the humid environment can easily lead to corrosion of metal parts, shortening the service life of the equipment.

The bidirectional flushing module includes a high-pressure water supply pipe and a left-facing flushing nozzle and a right-facing flushing nozzle fixed on the high-pressure water supply pipe. The axis of the high-pressure water supply pipe is parallel to the axis of the stacked plates. The left-facing flushing nozzle and the right-facing flushing nozzle are fixed alternately on the high-pressure water supply pipe. The spray range of the left-facing flushing nozzle and the right-facing flushing nozzle can cover all the gap areas of the stacked plates. Air washing modules are fixed on the brackets on the left and right sides corresponding to the bidirectional flushing module. The air washing module includes a high-pressure air supply pipe and a high-pressure air nozzle fixed on the high-pressure air supply pipe. The outlet of the high-pressure air nozzle is aligned with the gap area of the stacked plates. The axis of the high-pressure air supply pipe is parallel to the axis of the stacked plates.

The axis of the high-pressure water supply pipe 1.1 is parallel to the axis of the stacked plate 4. The left-facing flushing nozzle 1.2 and the right-facing flushing nozzle 1.3 are fixed alternately on the high-pressure water supply pipe 1.1. The spray range of the left-facing flushing nozzle 1.2 and the right-facing flushing nozzle 1.3 can cover all the gap areas of the stacked plate 4. Air wash modules 2 are fixed on the brackets 3 on the left and right sides corresponding to the bidirectional flushing module 1. The air wash module 2 includes a high-pressure air supply pipe 2.1 and a high-pressure air nozzle 2.2 fixed on the high-pressure air supply pipe 2.1. The outlet of the high-pressure air nozzle 2.2 is aligned with the gap area of the stacked plate 4. The axis of the high-pressure air supply pipe 2.1 is parallel to the axis of the stacked plate 4.
[0021] Two sets of air wash modules 2 are fixed on the brackets 3 on the left and right sides corresponding to the bidirectional rinsing module 1, and the air wash modules 2 are installed above the horizontal diameter of the stacked plates 4.
[0022] The distance between adjacent left-facing flushing nozzles 1.2 and right-facing flushing nozzles 1.3 is 80-130mm, so that the water flow from the left-facing flushing nozzles 1.2 and right-facing flushing nozzles 1.3 can cover all the stacked blades 4 axially without interfering with each other. The distance between adjacent left-facing flushing nozzles 1.2 and right-facing flushing nozzles 1.3 is preferably 120mm.
[0023] The angle between the axis of the left-facing flushing nozzle 1.2 and the longitudinal diameter of the stack 4 is 10-20°, and the angle between the axis of the right-facing flushing nozzle 1.3 and the longitudinal diameter of the stack 4 is 10-20°, so that the water flow sprayed from the left-facing flushing nozzle 1.2 and the right-facing flushing nozzle 1.3 can cover the annular surface of the stack 4 in the radial direction.
[0024] The angle between the axis of the left-facing flushing nozzle 1.2 and the longitudinal diameter of the stacked plate 4 is preferably 15°, and the angle between the axis of the right-facing flushing nozzle 1.3 and the longitudinal diameter of the stacked plate 4 is preferably 15°.
[0025] The spacing between adjacent high-pressure air nozzles 2.2 is 100-150mm, ensuring that the airflow ejected from the high-pressure air nozzles 2.2 can cover all the laminates 4 axially without causing interference between the airflows ejected from two adjacent high-pressure air nozzles 2.2. The spacing between adjacent high-pressure air nozzles 2.2 is preferably 130mm.
[0026] The angle between the axis of the high-pressure nozzle 2.2 and the longitudinal diameter of the stack 4 is 40-50°, so that the airflow ejected from the high-pressure nozzle 2.2 can cover the annular surface of the stack 4 in the radial direction.

[0030] Before operation, the high-pressure water supply pipe 1.1 is connected to a water source, and the high-pressure air supply pipe 2.1 is connected to an air source, which is clean compressed air or nitrogen.
[0031] When this utility model is in operation, the high-pressure water sprayed from the left-facing flushing nozzle 1.2 and the right-facing flushing nozzle 1.3 in the bidirectional flushing module 1 can soften and peel off the stubborn sludge in the gap area of the stacked plates 4.
[0032] The high-pressure gas ejected from the high-pressure nozzle 2.2 in the air washing module 2 can blow away residual water film and fine sludge particles on the stacked plates 4, while also drying the surface and gaps of the stacked plates 4, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment. The high-pressure nozzle 2.2 in the air washing module 2 can be controlled by a solenoid valve to spray continuously or intermittently.
[0033] In actual operation, the cleaning program of this utility model is set as follows: bidirectional rinsing module 1 rinses for 180 seconds → air wash module 2 air wash for 60 seconds → bidirectional rinsing module 1 rinses for 120 seconds → air wash module 2 air wash for 60 seconds.
[0034] The control system of the automatic cleaning device for the screw press dewatering machine of this invention is integrated into the control system of the screw press dewatering machine. The control mode is divided into automatic mode and manual mode. The automatic mode is used when the equipment is running normally, and the cleaning program is automatically started when the screw press dewatering machine stops; the manual mode is used when the equipment is being debugged or malfunctioning, and the cleaning program is started manually.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it.
