The present disclosure relates to the technical field of geotextile tubes, and in particular to a novel geotextile tube type sludge dehydration device combined with vacuum preloading. The present disclosure further relates to a sludge dehydration method implemented by using the novel geotextile tube type sludge dehydration device combined with vacuum preloading.
A large amount of sludge or slurry will be generated in projects such as river channel dredging, ditch and pond dredging and pile foundation hole excavation, The slurry have high moisture content and are difficult to treat in a short period of time. In traditional treatment, there is a method using a geotextile tube to fill slurry and stacking the slurry to naturally seep drainage. This treatment mode often consumes too long time and has a low site utilization rate. Moreover, the geotextile tube is generally sewn from a high-strength geotextile material, has a cumbersome sewing process, and cannot be reused, resulting in large consumption of a geotextile tube material and high economic cost.
In order to solve the problem that the drainage speed is too low, there is also a treatment mode of placing a drainage plate into a geotextile tube for vacuum preloading and pump drainage, but such a method for treating the geotextile tube has the following problems: 1, the structure is complex, and the drainage plate and a drainage plate fixing mechanism are inconvenient to mount and dismount; 2, the drainage plate and an external pipe fitting are inconvenient to connect, such that it is extremely difficult to solve the connection problem of a plurality of drainage plates in one geotextile tube at a time; and 3, the process of sewing the geotextile tube is tedious, time-consuming and labor-consuming.
The technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a novel geotextile tube type sludge dehydration device combined with vacuum preloading. A drainage plate in the device is more convenient to mount and dismount.
The technical solution used by the present disclosure is as follows: a novel geotextile tube type sludge dehydration device combined with vacuum preloading includes a geotextile tube for filling sludge, a pump drainage mechanism, vacuum tubes and a vacuum pump, where the geotextile tube is divided into top cloth and bottom cloth, a slurry filling inlet is provided on the top cloth, and the top cloth and the bottom cloth are sewn by means of a portable rechargeable bag sewing machine; and the pump drainage mechanism is arranged in the geotextile tube, is connected to the vacuum pump by means of the vacuum tubes, and includes a drainage plate and a hand connector, the drainage plate being inserted into the hand connector, the hand connector is connected to the vacuum tubes, and is fixed by hoops, and the vacuum tubes pass through flange piece ports on the geotextile tube, to be connected to the vacuum pump.
Preferably, two connecting ropes are arranged on the drainage plate every 2 meters, one ends of the connecting ropes are connected to the drainage plate, and the other ends of the connecting ropes are connected to the bottom cloth of the geotextile tube in a bound manner.
Preferably, the two heads of the drainage plate are tensioned by means of the vacuum tubes, such that the drainage plate is in a horizontal state during treatment.
Preferably, the drainage plate is arranged in a length direction or a height direction of the geotextile tube.
The present disclosure further provides a slurry dehydration method implemented by using the novel geotextile tube type sludge dehydration device combined with vacuum preloading. The slurry dehydration method includes:
1) manufacturing a geotextile tube, using a nut and a bolt to fix a plastic pouring connector in a center of top cloth of the geotextile tube, and repeating operation;
2) manufacturing a vacuum tube inlet, fixing a flange piece on a side edge of lop cloth, to serve as a vacuum tube channel, vacuum tubes being exactly capable of passing through an inner diameter of the flange piece, using a nut and a bolt to fix a vacuum tube inlet/outlet on a side edge close to a short edge direction of the top cloth of the geotextile tube, fixing the flange piece on the side edge of the top cloth, to serve as a vacuum tube channel, and repeating operation;
3) inserting a drainage plate head into the self-closed hand connector, pressing a lower side edge protruding structure, fixing the drainage plate head, inserting the hand connector into a vacuum tube insertion port, using hoops to firmly hoop the vacuum tubes, making the vacuum tubes penetrate the vacuum tube inlet, and connecting the vacuum tubes to the vacuum pump;
4) arranging two connecting ropes on the drainage plate every two meters, connecting the connecting ropes to bottom cloth of the geotextile tube, and tensioning two heads of the drainage plate by means of the vacuum tubes, so as to position the drainage plate;
5) using a portable rechargeable hag sewing machine to overlap edges of the top cloth and the bottom cloth of the geotextile tube for primary sewing, folding sewn edges upwards, sewing the folded edges anew, and repeating work once;
6) filling the geotextile tube with sludge, then switching on a power supply, starting the vacuum pump, applying vacuum loads, then stacking another geotextile tube on the geotextile tube, and starting combined action of vacuum preloading and self-weight consolidation to dehydrate the sludge; and
7) after dehydration is completed, removing the geotextile tube, the vacuum tubes and the vacuum pump, lifting off the top cloth of the geotextile tube, digging out dehydrated sludge, taking the vacuum tubes and the drainage plate out, and cleaning and air-drying the geotextile tube for repeated use.
Preferably, in step 7), after the vacuum tubes and the drainage plate are taken out, the bolt is unscrewed, and the hand connector and the drainage plate are detached for cleaning and air-drying, and then are mounted and used anew.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the beneficial effects:
1. In the present disclosure, the drainage plate is connected by using the connecting ropes, thin nylon ropes are used as the connecting ropes, and the connecting ropes and the bottom cloth of the geotextile tube are in binding connection, such that mounting and dismounting are convenient, repeated use is facilitated, and quick central positioning of the drainage plate in the geotextile tube is facilitated by the above structure.
