Detailed description of the invention
For understanding better the utility model, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1-5 and embodiment, the utility model will be further described.
Sludge cake conveying anti-blocking plug device of the present utility model as Figure 1-5, after being arranged in turn modifier treatment tank 1 and two-stage filter 2, comprising: be arranged on accumulation sludge removal device in autoclave diaphragm plate frame fiter press 3 below transfer passages and for storing the mud cake storage device for discharging of mud cake; Wherein, in autoclave diaphragm plate frame fiter press 3 below transfer passages, unsettled crossbeam 3.5 is set, crossbeam 3.5 belows are fixed with spiral reamer conveying axis, and spiral reamer conveying axis extends along transfer passage through hanging wheel 3.31; Accumulation sludge removal device concrete structure in the transfer passage of below is as shown in Fig. 1,4-5: the even interval of conveying axis at hanging wheel 3.31 two ends arranges spiral reamer blade; Hanging wheel top is connected on crossbeam 3.5 unsettled hanging wheel by least three arms 3.32; On at least one side transfer passage sidewall 3.6 of hanging wheel 3.31 top correspondences, high pressure nozzle 3.1 is set, high pressure nozzle 3.1 injection directions (shown in the dotted line of Fig. 5) are just to transfer passage bottom; High pressure nozzle 3.1 is communicated with filter cloth high pressure washing pump 3.2 by control cock 3.4; Mud mud cake storage device for discharging as Figure 1-3, is arranged on the discharging opening below of the mud cake load-transfer device of autoclave diaphragm plate frame fiter press downstream docking, comprises the discharge hopper 5 of a mud cake storehouse 4 and below, mud cake storehouse, and discharge hopper 5 outlets are docked with outer shipping unit; Between mud cake storehouse 4 and discharge hopper 5, mud cake discharge shutter 6 is set, mud cake discharge shutter 6 is closing panel 6.2 along the front end of working direction; Mud cake discharge shutter transmission shaft 6.3 is driven by reducing motor; Discharge hopper 5 outer suitable for reading and mud cake discharge shutter 6 front end adjacents extend out setpoint distance, form the outer sidewall skewed slot 5.1(shrinking from top to bottom as Fig. 1); Outer sidewall skewed slot extend out inwall and closing panel foremost spacing distance be the sludge blockage space of setting, described sludge blockage space makes closing panel 6.2 seal in closed position and by mud cake storehouse bottom discharge openings.
Optimize, pile up sludge removal device, along the even interval of transfer passage bearing of trend, multiple hanging wheels 3.31 are set, the distribution that is in line of multiple hanging wheels 3.31; On at least one side transfer passage sidewall 3.6 of each hanging wheel 3.31 top correspondences, high pressure nozzle 3.1 is all set.
In preferred embodiment, at least one high pressure nozzle 3.1 is set on transfer passage sidewall 3.6.
Along transfer passage bearing of trend, spiral reamer conveying axis arranges spiral reamer blade at hanging wheel 3.31 even intervals, both sides.Three arms 3.32 of each hanging wheel 3.31 tops are separately positioned on two ends and the midpoint on corresponding crossbeam 3.5.
In Fig. 4-5, the spiral transmission equipment overall length 12m under autoclave diaphragm plate frame fiter press 3, stable for whole spiral reamer, need increase support at middle (about 6m place) in addition firm to it.On axial cross section, the support that was originally positioned at lower end has reduced mud cake by space, has hindered mud cake conveying, causes mud to pile up herein.At the mud place of piling up, also can accumulate pressing filtering liquid and filter cloth washing water, cause the mud cake after filter-press dehydration once more to drench, improve follow-up oven dry hear rate.
Enter the former primary sludge of factory (water ratio 94~92%) and send into by a certain percentage modifier treatment tank 1 with sludge modification agent, fully stirring, modification, and after filter grid 1.1 of filter screen in tank, enter two-stage filter 2 through secondary filtration grid 2.1 from tank underflow.After twice filtration, can filter the impurity of easy blocking pipeline in mud completely, protect the relevant devices such as subsequent delivery pump.After filtering, mud is sent into respectively two autoclave diaphragm plate frame fiter press 3 press filtrations by filter cloth high pressure washing pump 3.2, and high pressure washing pump 3.2 is communicated with high-pressure water tank 7; Mud cake after press filtration is delivered to mud cake storehouse 4 by the screw conveyor under press filter, fills after mud when load wagon, fastens mud cake discharge shutter 6, and residue mud cake is stored in discharge bin 4.
As Fig. 2, it is another deformation design of the utility model sludge cake storage device for discharging.Discharge hopper 5 tops are cylinder, and bottom is cone; Cylinder outer suitable for reading and all parallel setpoint distance formation cylindricality evagination cylindrical shells that extends out of mud cake discharge shutter 6 front end adjacents, cylindricality evagination cylindrical shell is gone to the bottom from top to bottom to shrink and is formed cone tubular outer sidewall skewed slot 5.2.
In another not shown deformation design, suitable for reading and discharge hopper 5 sealings of outer sidewall skewed slot 5.1 or cone tubular outer sidewall skewed slot 5.2 are integrated or are set to movable being connected of opening.
As shown in Figure 3, described mud cake discharge shutter 6 is frame plate along the rear end 6.1 of working direction, alleviates valve plate weight in the situation that ensureing rigidity.
The utility model transformation Support Position, moves to top by support, has expanded mud cake dredging space, lower end, and has increased high-pressure water nozzle, and mud is piled up in dredging in time, thoroughly solves latch up phenomenon in mud cake course of conveying.
Meanwhile, mud cake hopper outer is added to wealthy, stuck mud and be pushed into and add wealthy skewed slot by flashboard, and leak from skewed slot sludge blockage space.Flashboard can normally close up, and hinders stress relieved.
Without the resistancing action of stuck mud reverse stress, reductor copper gear can not crumble, and has reduced maintenance of equipment rate, has saved productive costs; Simultaneously because the sludge blockage space arranging is greater than actual sludge blockage amount, thereby without labor cleaning's mud, improve operation rate and work efficiency.
Meanwhile, because the suitable for reading and discharge hopper sealing that improves outer sidewall skewed slot in design is integrated or is set to movable being connected of opening; Can meet maintenance demand.
Above disclosed is only preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and the equivalence of doing according to the utility model changes, and still belongs to protection domain of the present utility model.
