Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of sludge treatment in a sewage treatment process, in particular to a vertical sludge drier and a method for drying sludge by using the vertical sludge drier.
Background
With the continuous development of urbanization, the amount of sewage generated in industrial production and life and requiring purification treatment is gradually increased, and the output of sludge, which is a byproduct of sewage purification treatment, is also increased. Sludge treatment is more difficult than sewage treatment. At present, sewage plants generally adopt a concentration and dehydration method to carry out early treatment on sludge so as to reduce the water content of the sludge from more than 90 percent to about 60 to 80 percent; the pre-treated sludge is then typically landfilled, composted and dried. Among the above treatments, the drying treatment of the sludge is an effective treatment method, which can not only avoid secondary pollution caused by fermentation of the sludge, but also facilitate the end treatment of the treated dried sludge.
However, the current sludge drying equipment has some defects. Most of the existing commonly-used sludge drying devices adopt a horizontal arrangement mode, namely, a shaft of the sludge drying device is arranged along the horizontal direction, so that the occupied area of the sludge drying device is large, and the equipment cost is high. Furthermore, horizontally arranged sludge drying plants generally require the provision of additional sludge transport devices, which also increases the complexity and cost of the plant. In addition, the existing sludge drying equipment is not provided with a cutting device for cutting a large sludge block, so that the large sludge block is difficult to be effectively dried, the drying rate of the sludge is low, the energy consumption is high, and the high productivity requirement is difficult to meet. Moreover, the sludge having a high water content cannot be directly subjected to the end treatment, thereby further causing an increase in the cost of the treatment and disposal.
Chinese invention patent CN201711284814 discloses a sludge low-temperature heat drying device. In this mud low temperature heat drying equipment, the material on the first tray drops to the second tray from between first tray and the first cylinder type shells inner wall downwards under the stirring of first carousel on to stir the material on the second tray by second blade and stirring tooth, then from the blanking hole whereabouts of second tray, the material is being stirred and the in-process of whereabouts, with through dry blower drum-in, carry out the heat exchange by the dry hot-blast after the gas distribution dish cloth gas, reach dry purpose, the intensive mixing, the material after the drying is discharged from the discharge gate. But the material bonds on the tray easily in drying process, and the unable even cloth, the area of contact of hot-blast and material is little moreover, reduces material drying efficiency, leads to the moisture content scheduling problem not up to standard.
Accordingly, there is a continuing need in the art for improvements in sludge drying apparatus that allow for smaller footprint, higher drying efficiency and higher throughput, thereby being suitable for rapid batch industrial processing and application of sludge.

Referring to fig. 1, a vertical sludge drying machine 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown in a longitudinal cutaway view. The vertical sludge drier 1 comprises a shell 2, a shaft 301, a first cutting assembly 3A, a second cutting assembly 3B and a third cutting assembly 3C. The housing 2 and the shaft 301 are both arranged in the vertical direction. The housing 2 forms an inner space for accommodating the inner structure and receiving the sludge blocks, and the shaft 301 is rotatably supported in the housing 2, so as to drive the rotatable components in the first, second and third cutting assemblies 3A, 3B and 3C to rotate, so that the sludge in the housing 2 can be dried and the larger sludge blocks can be cut.
It should be noted that the descriptions of the orientations such as "upper", "lower", "upper" and "lower" mentioned in the present application refer to the installation arrangement of the vertical sludge drying machine 1 during normal use, for example, the installation arrangement of the vertical sludge drying machine 1 shown in fig. 1. Furthermore, all references to orientations such as "vertical" and "vertical" in this application refer to an orientation or direction perpendicular to horizontal ground along the direction of gravity.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and with combined reference to fig. 2 and 3, the housing 2 may be formed from any suitable material, such as a suitable metallic material, for example, steel. The housing 2 includes an upper cover 201, a barrel 202, and a bottom plate 206 in this order from top to bottom, and the housing 2 is arranged vertically, that is, a longitudinal central axis 2a of the housing 2 (or, also, a longitudinal central axis of the barrel 202) is perpendicular to a horizontal ground in a direction of gravity. Barrel 202 is formed in a cylindrical shape with both ends open, and upper cover 201 can be attached to and cover the opening at the upper end of barrel 202 in any known suitable manner, including but not limited to, for example, welding, riveting, screwing, etc.; base 206 can be attached to and close the opening at the lower end of barrel 202 in any known suitable manner, including but not limited to, for example, welding, riveting, screwing, and the like. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, 2, 3, shaft 202 has a cylindrical shape, i.e., the shape of a cross-section of shaft 202 perpendicular to its longitudinal central axis 2a is circular. However, the cross-sectional shape of barrel 202 may have any suitable other shape including, but not limited to, triangular, rectangular, square, regular polygonal, etc. When the barrel 202 has other cross-sectional shapes, the shapes of the upper cover 201 and the bottom plate 206 are changed accordingly so as to fit the openings of the upper and lower ends of the barrel 202, respectively. It is noted that it may be advantageous to use a regular polygon for the cross-sectional shape of barrel 202, because in this manner multiple flat plates can be used to form a barrel having a larger cross-sectional area. This is very cost effective for barrel 202 requiring a larger cross-sectional shape to be formed.
The upper part of the barrel 202 is provided with an air inlet 204 for introducing a drying medium gas into the housing 2 for drying the sludge mass in the housing 2. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the air inlet 204 is arranged such that its longitudinal central axis 204a perpendicularly intersects the longitudinal central axis 2a of the barrel 202. However, it is also possible that the longitudinal center axis 204a of the air inlet 204 is offset a distance in the radial direction with respect to the longitudinal center axis 2a of the barrel 202. In one embodiment, longitudinal central axis 204a of gas inlet 204 can be arranged tangentially to barrel 202 such that the drying medium gas can be introduced into barrel 202 in a direction tangential to barrel 202. In another embodiment, the longitudinal central axis 204a of the air inlet 204 may be arranged not perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis 2a of the barrel 202. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, the cross-section of the air inlet 204 perpendicular to its own longitudinal central axis 204a is rectangular in shape, but the cross-section may be provided in other shapes including, but not limited to, circles, triangles, squares, polygons, and the like.
It is easily understood that the air inlet 204 may also be provided in the upper cover 201. In this case, the air inlet 204 may be disposed such that its longitudinal central axis 204a is perpendicular to the upper lid 201 or not perpendicular to the upper lid 201.
The lower part of the barrel 202 is provided with a discharging air outlet 205 for discharging dried sludge blocks and dried tail gas from the shell 2. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the outfeed air outlet 205 is arranged with its longitudinal central axis 205a perpendicularly intersecting the longitudinal central axis 2a of the barrel 202. However, it is also possible for the longitudinal central axis 205a of the outlet mouth 205 to be offset by a certain distance in the radial direction with respect to the longitudinal central axis 2a of the shaft 202. In one embodiment, a longitudinal central axis 205a of the outfeed air outlet 205 may be arranged tangential to the shaft 202, such that the dried tail gas and the dried sludge can be discharged together from the shaft 202 in a direction tangential to the shaft 202. In the embodiments shown in fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the cross-section of the outfeed air outlet 205 perpendicular to its longitudinal central axis 205a is rectangular in shape, but the cross-section may also be provided in other shapes, including but not limited to circular, triangular, square, polygonal, etc.
It will be readily appreciated that the outlet vent 205 may also be provided in the floor 206. In this case, the outlet mouth 205 can be arranged such that its longitudinal central axis 205a is perpendicular to the floor 206 or not perpendicular to the floor 206.
As shown in fig. 1, the air inlet 204 is communicated with an air blower for conveying a drying medium gas, and the discharge air outlet 205 is communicated with a recovery bin for receiving dried sludge, and the recovery bin may be communicated with an induced draft fan to help conveying the dried sludge and the dried tail gas discharged from the discharge air outlet 205 to the recovery bin. It is to be understood that the connection combination shown in fig. 1 is only an exemplary connection combination of the vertical sludge drying machine 1 according to the present invention and other devices or apparatuses. The present invention is not limited to the connection combination shown in fig. 1, but any suitable upstream and downstream devices or apparatuses may be connected according to actual needs.
The upper cover 201 has a shaft hole 201a at the center thereof to receive and support the upper end of the shaft 301 of the vertical sludge drier 1. The upper cover 201 is also provided with a feed inlet 203 for receiving sludge. However, it is understood that the feed opening 203 may be disposed on the barrel 202, for example, at a suitable position on the upper portion of the barrel 202. The bottom plate 206 has a shaft hole 206a at the center thereof to receive and support the lower end of the shaft 301 of the vertical sludge drying machine 1. When assembled with the barrel 202, the centers of both the shaft hole 201a of the upper cover 201 and the shaft hole 206a of the bottom plate 206 are located on the longitudinal center axis 2a of the barrel 202.
Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of the housing 2 of the vertical sludge dryer 1 in a perspective cut view. In this embodiment, the housing 2 also includes, in order from top to bottom, an upper cover 201, a barrel 202, and a bottom plate 206. In this embodiment, however, the barrel 202 includes a first portion 202a and a second portion 202b, wherein the first portion 202a is disposed above the second portion 202b and the volume of the second portion 202b is greater than the volume of the first portion 202 a. For the embodiment shown in fig. 4, both first portion 202a and second portion 202b have a cylindrical shape, so the inner diameter of the cylinder of second portion 202b is greater than the inner diameter of the cylinder of first portion 202 a. Because the lower part of the shell 2, namely the second part 202b shown in fig. 4, has a larger volume, it can play a role of buffering dried sludge, and increase the retention time of the sludge in the vertical sludge drying machine 1, thereby improving the drying efficiency. However, it is also feasible that the volume of the first portion 202a is smaller than the volume of the second portion 202 b. Furthermore, in an embodiment not shown, shaft 202 has a frustoconical shape such that, from top to bottom along its longitudinal central axis 2a, the area of the cross section of shaft 202 perpendicular to said longitudinal central axis 2a increases gradually. Thereby, the barrel 202 is also made to have a larger volume in the lower portion thereof. In another embodiment, not shown, shaft 202 has an inverted frusto-conical shape such that the area of the cross-section of shaft 202 perpendicular to longitudinal central axis 2a decreases from top to bottom along longitudinal central axis 2a thereof.
With continued reference to fig. 1, a shaft 301 is vertically disposed in the housing 2 of the vertical sludge drying machine 1, with its upper end passing through the shaft hole 201a of the upper cover 201 and rotatably supported in the shaft hole 201a by a corresponding bearing device, and with its lower end passing through the shaft hole 206a of the bottom plate 206 and rotatably supported in the shaft hole 206a by a corresponding bearing device, so that the longitudinal central axis 301a of the shaft 301 coincides with the longitudinal central axis 2a of the barrel 202. The shaft 301 is mounted at its upper end with a power transmission device 302 for transmitting power from an external power source to the shaft 301 to rotate it about its longitudinal central axis 301 a. It will be readily appreciated that the power transmission means may also be mounted on the lower end of the shaft 301. Further, the power transmission means 302 may be, for example, a gear, a sprocket, a pulley, or the like, which is mounted on the upper or lower end of the shaft 301 in a splined or splined manner or any other suitable manner for transmitting power to the shaft 301.
At least one cutting assembly can be arranged in the shell 2 of the vertical sludge drier 1 and used for cutting larger sludge blocks entering the shell 2 into smaller sludge blocks, so as to be beneficial to drying the sludge blocks by using drying medium gas. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, three cutting assemblies, i.e., a first cutting assembly 3A, a second cutting assembly 3B and a third cutting assembly 3C, are arranged in the housing 2 from top to bottom in a vertical direction (that is, in a flow direction of sludge in the vertical sludge drying machine 1). It will be readily appreciated that any other number of cutting assemblies are possible. Each of the first, second and third cutting assemblies 3A, 3B and 3C comprises a rotating sub-assembly rotating together with the shaft 301 to cut the sludge mass and a stationary sub-assembly fixedly mounted to the barrel 202 and vertically disposed below the rotating sub-assembly to intercept the larger sludge mass so that it can be cut by the rotating sub-assembly.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 shows the third cutting assembly 3C in a perspective view, and fig. 6 shows the components of the third cutting assembly 3C in an exploded perspective view. The rotating subassembly of the third cutting assembly 3C comprises three cantilevers 351 evenly spaced apart in the circumferential direction, wherein one end of each cantilever 351 is fixedly connected to the shaft 301 in a suitable manner, including but not limited to, for example, welding, riveting, screwing, etc., and the cantilevers 351 extend radially outward from the shaft 301. As shown in the figures, the cross-section of the cantilever 351 perpendicular to its own longitudinal central axis has a rectangular shape, but it is readily understood that the cross-section may have any other suitable shape, including but not limited to, for example, circular, elliptical, square, triangular, polygonal, and the like. Furthermore, it is readily understood that the rotating subassembly may also comprise any other number of cantilevers, e.g. one, two, four, etc., and that these cantilevers may also be arranged at non-uniform intervals in the circumferential direction. At least one cutting member 352 may be provided on each cantilever 351 to increase a contact area with the sludge mass, thereby enhancing a cutting effect on the sludge mass. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, 6 and 8, five cutters 352 are provided at each cantilever 351. Each cutting member 352 is fixedly attached to the lower surface of the cantilever 351 in a suitable manner, including but not limited to, for example, welding, riveting, screwing, etc., and extends vertically downward perpendicular to the lower surface. The cutting member 352 may be, but is not limited to, a strut, a cutter, etc. in a suitable form. Referring particularly to fig. 8, there is shown in perspective a rotary subassembly mounted on the shaft 301, the rotary subassembly comprising three cantilever arms 351, each cantilever arm 351 being provided with 5 cutting members 352. In some embodiments according to the invention, the cutting member may be integrally formed with the cantilever arm. Further, it is readily understood that the cutting member 352 is not required. In other embodiments, not shown, the cantilever 351 may not have any cutting element disposed thereon. In some embodiments, not shown, the cantilever 351 may not have any cutting member, and the lower surface of the cantilever 351 may have a plurality of grooves corresponding to the annular member 361, which is more advantageous for cutting the sludge mass.
Referring to fig. 7, there is shown the stationary subassembly 32 of the first cutting assembly 3A, the stationary subassembly 34 of the second cutting assembly 3B and the stationary subassembly 36 of the third cutting assembly 3C, wherein each stationary subassembly comprises a central ring 364, three support arms 363 fixedly connected to said central ring 364, and a plurality of ring members 361 attached to the upper surfaces of the support arms 363. It will be readily appreciated that the support arms 363 can have any other suitable number, e.g., one, two, four, etc.; likewise, the annular member 361 could have any other suitable number. When installed in the vertical sludge dryer 1, the centering ring 364 may be fitted over the shaft 301, but does not contact the shaft 301. One end of the support arm 363 is fixedly attached to the center ring 364 by suitable means including, but not limited to, for example, welding, riveting, threading, etc., and the other end thereof is fixedly attached to the barrel 202 by suitable means including, but not limited to, for example, welding, riveting, threading, etc. Thereby, the support arm 363 can support the ring member 361 attached to the upper surface thereof. As shown in the figures, the cross-section of the support arm 363 perpendicular to its own longitudinal central axis has a rectangular shape, but it is readily understood that the cross-section may have any other suitable shape, including but not limited to, for example, circular, oval, square, triangular, polygonal, and the like.
The upper surface of each annular member 361 may also be provided with at least one projection 362, distributed uniformly or non-uniformly in the circumferential direction, which contributes to an enhanced cutting effect of the sludge mass. It is to be understood that the number and distribution of the bumps 362 shown in the drawings of the present application are only exemplary, and the present invention is not limited thereto, but the number and distribution of the bumps 362 may be selected as required by the actual situation. A ring member 361 is provided on the support arm 363, and all ring members in each fixation subassembly are arranged concentrically with the central ring 364. In each of the stator sub-assemblies, the distance between adjacent annular members 361 is equal in the radial direction. It will be appreciated that the distance between adjacent annular members 361 may be unequal. In this way, the annular members 361 form a grid below the rotating assembly, making it possible to block the passage of larger sludge masses, allowing only sludge masses having dimensions smaller than the radial distance between adjacent annular members 361 to pass, while the larger sludge masses are cut by the rotating sub-assembly. Referring to fig. 1 and 7, the vertical sludge drying machine 1 includes three cutting assemblies, a first cutting assembly 3A, a second cutting assembly 3B and a third cutting assembly 3C from top to bottom in the vertical direction, the first cutting assembly 3A is disposed above the second cutting assembly 3B with respect to the sludge flow direction, and the third cutting assembly 3C is disposed below the second cutting assembly 3B with respect to the sludge flow direction. The spacing between each annular part 361 on each cutting assembly can be the same or different, and the spacing can be adjusted correspondingly according to actual needs, sludge properties and the like so as to meet the needs of different water content or granularity. The adjacent ring-shaped parts in the fixed sub-assembly of the cutting assembly located above have a larger spacing, and the adjacent ring-shaped parts in the fixed sub-assembly of the cutting assembly located below have a smaller spacing. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 7, adjacent ring members in the fixed sub-assembly 32 of the first cutting assembly 3A have a spacing a therebetween, adjacent ring members in the fixed sub-assembly 34 of the second cutting assembly 3B have a spacing B therebetween, and adjacent ring members in the fixed sub-assembly 36 of the third cutting assembly 3C have a spacing C therebetween, the spacing a being equal to or greater than the spacing B, and the spacing B being equal to or greater than the spacing C. By providing a tapering spacing of adjacent annular members from top to bottom, it is possible to progressively cut larger sludge masses entering the housing 2 into smaller sludge masses. Through the mode of cutting layer by layer from large to small at the intervals, the cutting effect on the sludge block can be enhanced, the contact area of hot air and the sludge block is increased as much as possible so as to improve the drying efficiency, and the blockage of the sludge passing path caused by the large sludge block is avoided. In another embodiment, the gap between the lugs 362 on adjacent ring members may be the same as the gap between adjacent ring members, but the lug gaps on adjacent ring members may be different according to actual needs. The size of the cutting element 352 provided on the rotary subassembly can be adjusted according to the tab clearance and tab 362 size on the adjacent ring component. In another embodiment, the lugs 362 on adjacent annular members are on the same horizontal plane, or may be offset or offset from each other in the circumferential direction by a certain distance, however, the offset angle of the lugs on adjacent annular members may be adjusted or the lugs may be disposed on the same horizontal plane according to the sludge property, water content, etc.
When having a cutting member 352, as shown in fig. 5, the cutting member 352 on the cantilever arm 351 is alternately radially spaced from the annular member 361 on the support arm 363 when the rotating and stationary subassemblies of the cutting assembly are assembled together. The structure is beneficial to cutting the sludge blocks, so that the drying medium gas can better dry the sludge.
In another not shown embodiment of the invention, the gas inlet 204 is arranged radially offset a distance with respect to the longitudinal central axis 2a of the shaft 202, for example may be tangential to the shaft 202, so that the drying medium gas is introduced into the housing 2 in a direction tangential to the shaft 202, and the inner surface of the shaft 202 may be further provided with a gas flow guide arranged along a spiral line, so that the drying medium gas flows along a spiral flow path within the housing 2. Such an arrangement may be advantageous because the flow of the drying medium gas in the form of a spiral in the housing 2 amounts to an increased flow path of the drying medium gas in the housing 2, thereby facilitating drying of the sludge cake by the drying medium gas.
Referring now to fig. 9, a method 400 for drying sludge using a vertical sludge dryer according to the present invention is shown. In step 401, a sludge mass is introduced into the housing 202 via the feed opening 203; at step 402, introducing a drying medium gas into the housing 202 via the gas inlet 204 to dry the sludge mass in the housing 202; in step 403, power is transmitted to the shaft 301 via the power transmission device 302 to rotate the shaft so as to dry the sludge block and cut the sludge block by the first, second and third cutting assemblies 3A, 3B and 3C; and, in step 404, discharging the dried sludge block together with the dried tail gas from the housing 202 through the discharging air outlet 205.
While the present invention has been described above by way of some specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the embodiments herein are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive, and that the features of the embodiments disclosed herein can be configured and/or combined in any suitable configuration or combination. Accordingly, the invention is not limited to the details provided herein, but may be modified within the scope of the disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the disclosure.
