Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of uranium conversion related equipment, in particular to a multi-round continuous feeding system and feeding method for uranium conversion materials. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the nuclear power trend, the installed capacity has increased rapidly, putting forward higher requirements for the supply of nuclear fuel. Uranium ore is the main raw material for preparing nuclear fuel. In the whole preparation process of nuclear fuel, two steps of uranium purification and uranium conversion will be experienced successively. Uranium purification refers to the production process from uranium ore concentrate to refined UO2. Uranium conversion refers to the production process from refined UO2 to UF6.

[0003] The UO2 powder material produced in the uranium purification step is stored in a special sealed container for later use. The sealed container is provided with a closable or openable discharge port at the lower end, and both the capacity and volume are designed to be relatively small for easy transportation or storage. When it comes to the uranium conversion step, it is necessary to discharge the UO2 powder material in multiple sealed containers into the transfer silo, and this operation is called the UO2 feeding operation.

[0004] Currently in the industry, the UO2 feeding operation is carried out in a three-story factory building. On the first floor of the factory building, there are multiple sealed containers filled with UO2 powder material. On the second floor of the factory building, there are successively connected hydrofluorination equipment (for processing UO2) and a transfer silo. On the third floor of the factory building, there is a discharge port connected to the transfer silo, and the discharge port is used to receive the UO2 powder material poured out from the sealed container. When performing the UO2 feeding operation, it is necessary for an operator to use a crane to lift multiple sealed containers from the first floor of the factory building to the third floor, and then connect each sealed container to the discharge port one by one for pouring.

[0005] The above UO2 feeding operation has the following deficiencies:

[0006] 1. In one working cycle of the feeding operation, a total of 3 - 4 cans of sealed container materials need to be fed into the transfer silo. In this process, it is necessary to transport the sealed container from the first floor of the factory building to the third floor. After the feeding is completed, the empty sealed container is transported back to the first floor of the factory building. For each sealed container, operations such as opening the lid (i.e., opening the discharge port at the lower end of the sealed container), docking (i.e., docking the discharge port at the lower end of the sealed container with the discharge port on the third floor of the factory building), and closing the lid (i.e., closing the discharge port at the lower end of the sealed container) all require the operator to go up to the third floor of the factory building to operate in person. The steps are cumbersome and the efficiency is low.

[0007] 2. During the feeding operation, the UO2 powder material is likely to leak out between the discharge port of the sealed container and the discharge port on the third floor of the factory building, generating dust. Since the UO2 powder is radioactive, it will damage the health of the operators on the third floor of the factory building.

[0008] 3. On the one hand, to prevent the UO2 powder material from spreading outside the plant and polluting the environment, the plant has a certain degree of airtightness to achieve isolation from the outside. On the other hand, there is a hydrofluorination device with a very high operating temperature on the second floor of the plant, which increases the heat load inside the plant. These two aspects jointly result in a relatively high environmental temperature inside the plant. Especially in the hot summer, the indoor temperature on the third floor of the plant can reach 50 - 60 °C, making the working environment of the operators on the third floor of the plant very harsh. Summary of the Invention

[0027] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The upper pipeline docking device includes a lifting drive device C, a docking pipe, a bracket C, a rotary drive motor D, a second extension rod, and a cover plate; The lifting drive device C is fixedly installed on the ground of the third-layer space and is fixedly connected to the vertically arranged docking pipe, and is used to drive the docking pipe to perform vertical lifting movement; The lower end of the docking pipe passes through the feeding port and enters the second-layer space, and the upper end of the docking pipe passes through the feeding port and enters the third-layer space. During the vertical lifting movement of the docking pipe, an upper limit position and a lower limit position are successively arranged from top to bottom. During the vertical lifting movement of the docking pipe, the lower port of the docking pipe always extends into the feeding port of the transfer bin; The bracket C is fixedly installed on the ground of the third-layer space; The rotary drive motor D is fixedly installed on the bracket C, and its shaft horizontally extends and is fixedly connected to the front end of the second extension rod; The cover plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the second extension rod and rotates under the drive of the rotary drive motor D, thereby covering or opening the upper port of the docking pipe; When the transfer tank placed in the placement station C moves to the feeding position along with the transfer tank translation trolley, the docking pipe vertically rises to the upper limit position, that is, the upper port of the docking pipe passes through the material dropping hole B of the transfer tank translation trolley and docks with the discharge port B of the transfer tank, and the docking pipe vertically descends to the lower limit position, that is, the upper port of the docking pipe withdraws from the material dropping hole B of the transfer tank translation trolley and separates from the discharge port B of the transfer tank.

[0028] A further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The inner cover opening and closing device of the transfer tank includes a gantry B, a lifting drive device D, a rotary drive motor C, and a plugging disc; The gantry B is directly or indirectly fixedly installed on the vehicle body B of the transfer tank translation trolley; The lifting drive device D is fixedly installed on the gantry B and is fixedly connected to the rotary drive motor C, and is used to drive the rotary drive motor C to perform vertical lifting movement; The shaft of the rotary drive motor C vertically extends downward; The plugging disc is fixedly connected to the shaft of the rotary drive motor C and is driven by the rotary drive motor C to perform horizontal rotation. Multiple insertion rods for inserting into the jack B of the operation panel B of the transfer tank are arranged at the lower end of the plugging disc of the docking disc; When the transfer tank is limited in the placement station C, the operation panel B of the transfer tank is located directly below the plugging disc of the inner cover opening and closing device of the transfer tank, so as to facilitate the inner cover opening and closing device of the transfer tank to open or close the discharge port B of the transfer tank.

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention is: A multi-round continuous feeding method for uranium conversion materials, which is applied to the above-mentioned multi-round continuous feeding system for uranium conversion materials, realizes the automatic feeding of UO2 powder materials before the start of the uranium conversion process in the nuclear fuel preparation process;

[0030] The feeding method is as follows:

[0031] S01, respectively place the storage tank and the transfer tank: Place a group of storage tanks filled with UO2 powder materials in the placement station B of the storage tank translation trolley, and place one storage tank in each placement station B; Lift and place multiple empty transfer tanks onto the third conveyor belt;

[0032] In this step, the number of suspended transfer tanks is the same as that of the transfer silos, and each transfer tank is used for one round of feeding operation.

[0033] S02. Remove the outer protective cover of the storage tank: The storage tank translation trolley drives the target storage tank to move to the fourth docking position so that the target storage tank corresponds to the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device up and down; the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device operates to remove the outer protective cover of the target storage tank; repeat the above steps to sequentially remove the outer protective covers of all the storage tanks at the placement stations B on the storage tank translation trolley.

[0034] S03. Feed multiple storage tanks into the transfer tank in sequence: a. The transfer tank rotating device drives the transfer tank to rotate to the first docking position so that the transfer tank corresponds to the transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device up and down; b. The storage tank translation trolley drives the target storage tank to move to the fifth docking position so that the storage tank corresponds to the lower pipeline docking device up and down; c. The transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device operates to remove the upper sealing cover from the feed inlet of the transfer tank; d. The transfer tank rotation driving device drives the transfer tank to rotate to the second docking position so that the transfer tank corresponds to the lower pipeline docking device up and down; e. The lower pipeline docking device operates to dock the target storage tank and the transfer tank up and down; f. The inner cover opening and closing device of the storage tank operates to separate the inner sealing cover A of the storage tank from the discharge port A, and then open the discharge port A of the target storage tank, and the UO2 powder material in the target storage tank then enters the transfer tank through the lower pipeline docking device; g. After the UO2 powder material in the target storage tank is completely discharged, perform the following two operations simultaneously: 1. The inner cover opening and closing device of the storage tank operates to make the inner sealing cover A of the storage tank fit with the discharge port A, and then close the discharge port A of the target storage tank; 2. The lower pipeline docking device operates to release the docking state between the target storage tank and the transfer tank; h. Repeat steps a - g to sequentially dock and feed other storage tanks on the storage tank translation trolley with the transfer tank; i. After all the storage tanks on the storage tank translation trolley are completed with feeding, the transfer tank rotating device operates to drive the transfer tank to rotate to the first docking position so that the transfer tank corresponds to the transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device up and down; j. The transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device operates to insert the upper sealing cover into the feed inlet of the transfer tank.

[0035] S04. Install the outer protective cover of the storage tank: The storage tank translation trolley drives the target storage tank with the outer protective cover removed to move to the fourth docking position so that the target storage tank corresponds to the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device up and down; the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device operates to install the outer protective cover onto the target storage tank; repeat the above steps to sequentially install the outer protective covers on all the storage tanks on the storage tank translation trolley.

[0036] S05, transfer the transfer tank to the transfer tank translation trolley: the transfer tank rotating device adjusts the posture and drives the transfer tank to be discharged from the placement station A. After the transfer tank is discharged, it passes through the first conveyor belt, the transfer elevator, the second conveyor belt, and several empty transfer tank translation trolleys at the front end in sequence, and enters the placement station C of the last empty transfer tank translation trolley at the rear end;

[0037] In this step, the "front end" is the end relatively close to the upper opening of the transfer elevator, and the "rear end" is the end relatively far from the upper opening of the transfer elevator;

[0038] S06, the transfer tank feeds the corresponding transfer silo: a. The transfer tank translation trolley drives the transfer tank to move from the tank transfer position to the feeding position, so that the transfer tank and the upper pipeline docking device correspond to each other up and down; then, the upper pipeline docking device is activated to dock the transfer tank and the transfer silo up and down; b. The transfer tank inner cover opening and closing device is activated to separate the inner sealing cover B of the transfer tank from the discharge port B, and then open the discharge port B of the transfer tank, and the UO2 powder material in the transfer tank immediately enters the transfer silo through the upper pipeline docking device; c. After the UO2 powder material in the transfer tank is discharged, the upper pipeline docking device is activated to release the docking state between the transfer tank and the transfer silo; d. The transfer tank inner cover opening and closing device is activated to make the inner sealing cover B of the transfer tank fit with the discharge port B, and then close the discharge port B of the transfer tank; so far, one round of feeding is completed;

[0039] S07, completing several subsequent rounds of feeding operations: repeating the above steps S01 to S06 to complete several subsequent rounds of feeding operations. After completion, each transfer tank translation trolley is limited to have an empty transfer tank in the placement station C;

[0040] S08, recycle the empty transfer tanks in sequence: the first transfer tank translation trolley at the front drives the transfer tank from the feeding position to the tank transfer position, and then the transfer tank is discharged from the placement station C of the first transfer tank translation trolley at the front end, and then passes through the second conveyor belt, the transfer elevator, the first conveyor belt, the transfer tank rotating device in sequence, and returns to the third conveyor belt; finally, the empty transfer tank is transferred away from the third conveyor belt, and the recycling of the first transfer tank is completed; repeat the above steps to complete the recycling operation of the remaining transfer tanks. In the process of recycling the nth transfer tank, there are n-1 transfer tank translation trolleys between the nth transfer tank translation trolley at the front end and the second conveyor belt. These n-1 transfer tank translation trolleys are used to relay the transfer tanks.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0042] On the basis of the traditional feeding process (multiple sealed containers are successively transported from the first floor to the third floor of the plant for feeding), the feeding process is optimized (the materials in multiple storage tanks are combined and fed into a transfer tank, and then the transfer tank is transported to the third floor of the plant for one-time feeding), realizing the automatic feeding of UO2 powder materials in the uranium conversion process and significantly improving the efficiency of the feeding operation.

[0043] By setting multiple groups of upper and lower corresponding transfer bins and feeding ports, arranging all the transfer bins at intervals in a row, and adaptively setting multiple transfer tank translation trolleys and upper pipeline docking devices, it realizes the multi-round continuous feeding operation of UO2 powder materials, meeting the needs of large-batch, fast-paced, and high-efficiency uranium conversion production.

[0044] The optimized feeding process can be generally divided into two steps: the materials in multiple small tanks are combined and fed into a transfer tank; the transfer tank is transported to the third floor of the plant for one-time feeding;

[0045] Among them, the first step is the most complex part of the entire feeding process, which requires the linkage and cooperation of multiple components, and the design difficulty of automatic control is relatively high. Therefore, it is set on the first floor of the plant with a relatively suitable environment, which is convenient for operators to control and manage;

[0046] Among them, the second step is the relatively simple part of the entire feeding process, involving relatively few components for linkage and cooperation, and the design difficulty of automatic control is relatively low. Therefore, it is set on the third floor of the plant, which can enable the third floor of the plant with a relatively harsh environment to be without operators, reducing the working intensity of the operators, avoiding the damage of the operators from dust and radiation. Moreover, within a working cycle of the feeding operation, only one input and one output of a transfer tank occur on the third floor of the plant, and the number of actions of each component is small, and the probability of failure and error is relatively low.

[0047] The storage tank is equipped with two types of covers, an inner cover (inner sealing cover A) and an outer cover (outer protective cover), which can fully meet the requirements of sealed storage, automatic feeding, automatic opening and closing of the cover, and transportation safety of UO2 powder materials in the tank;

[0048] Among them, the inner cover mainly plays the role of sealing and preventing leakage. Turning the operation panel A at the upper end of the storage tank can control the lifting and moving of the inner cover, and thus realize the opening and closing of the discharge port A of the storage tank. On the one hand, the operation panel A for controlling the opening and closing of the inner cover is open at the upper end of the storage tank, which is convenient for the manipulator to touch and operate to realize automatic feeding. On the other hand, when the inner cover is opened, a gradually expanding annular gap is formed, making the material fall evenly and the speed controllable, avoiding a large amount of dust generated by dumping-type material falling.

[0049] Among them, the outer cover mainly serves to meet the needs of automated feeding and ensure transportation safety. The structure of the outer cover is adapted to the structure of the disassembly and assembly device for the outer cover of the storage tank. The outer cover is removed from or installed on the discharge port A of the storage tank through the disassembly and assembly device for the outer cover of the storage tank, eliminating the need for manual cover removal or installation. Additionally, when the outer cover is installed on the discharge port A of the storage tank, it cannot be removed without damage using common hardware tools. Only the disassembly and assembly device for the outer cover of the storage tank can be used to remove the cover, ensuring that the storage tank containing UO2 powder material is in a protected (or locked) state during transportation.

[0050] 5. In the material merging process (corresponding to step S03 of the feeding operation), each storage tank is docked for feeding with the only feed port on the transfer tank. When the transfer tank is docked with different storage tanks, there is no need to rotate and adjust the posture, greatly reducing the docking difficulty and control difficulty. The setting of the vibration motor can prevent the UO2 powder material in the transfer tank from piling up to form a "hill", effectively reducing the undulation height after the UO2 powder material piles up, contributing to the full utilization of the internal space of the transfer tank. As a result, the volume of the transfer tank can be designed relatively smaller, reducing the manufacturing cost of the transfer tank and making it more convenient for transportation and management.

[0051] 6. In the material merging process (corresponding to step S03 of the feeding operation), the negative pressure dust removal device is used to suppress the dust in the transfer tank, preventing the UO2 powder material from drifting out of the feed port of the transfer tank and causing radioactive pollution to the external environment. The filter units in the negative pressure dust removal device are arranged at intervals and dispersed on the top of the transfer tank. Starting the negative pressure fan can form a multi-point, small-flow, and small-range air extraction effect at the air inlet ends of all the filter units, thereby dispersing the total air extraction flow to the air inlet ends of each filter unit. On the one hand, it effectively suppresses the dust, and on the other hand, it avoids sucking away excessive UO2 powder material.

[0052] 7. In the material merging process (corresponding to step S03 of the feeding operation), the moving path of the storage tank is a linear reciprocating movement, and the moving path of the transfer tank is a fixed-point rotation. The moving path of the storage tank and the moving path of the transfer tank are arranged at different heights in space. The storage tank performs the operations of disassembling and assembling the outer protective cover and discharging the powder material at both ends of its moving path, and the transfer tank performs the operations of docking with the storage tank or disassembling and assembling the upper sealing cover when rotating to a specific angle. The movement routes, action methods, and spatial misalignment arrangements of the storage tank and the transfer tank make the material merging process simple and efficient, without redundant ineffective movements / actions.

[0082] As Figure 1 - 26 As shown, the multi-round continuous feeding system for uranium conversion materials includes a plant building, a storage tank, a transfer tank, a material merging assembly, a material feeding assembly, the first conveyor belt 100, the second conveyor belt 200, and the third conveyor belt 300. The material merging assembly includes a transfer tank rotating device, a storage tank translation trolley, a storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device, a storage tank inner cover opening and closing device, a transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device, a lower pipeline docking device, and a negative pressure dust removal device. The material feeding assembly includes a transfer tank translation trolley, an upper pipeline docking device, and a transfer tank inner cover opening and closing device.

[0083] Inside the plant building, there are successively arranged a first-layer space 11, a second-layer space 12, and a third-layer space 13 from bottom to top. Inside the plant building, there is a transfer elevator 18 that penetrates the first-layer space 11, the second-layer space 12, and the third-layer space 13 from bottom to top. The transfer elevator 18 is respectively provided with a lower open end 181 and an upper open end 182 in the first-layer space 11 and the third-layer space 13. The transfer elevator 18 is used to receive or discharge the transfer tank at the lower open end 181, or receive or discharge the transfer tank at the upper open end 182, or lift the transfer tank filled with materials from the first-layer space 11 to the third-layer space 13, or lower the empty transfer tank from the third-layer space 13 to the first-layer space 11. The specific structure of the transfer elevator 18 is prior art. For the description of the "lifting elevator", reference can be made to the patent document CN113443329A, which will not be elaborated here. An overhead slide 14 and a cantilever crane (not shown in the figure) are installed in the first-layer space 11. A horizontal track A15 is provided on the overhead slide 14. The horizontal track A15 is successively provided with an outer cover disassembly and assembly section and an upper and lower docking section from one end to the other end. A transfer silo 16 is placed in the second-layer space 12. The upper end of the transfer silo 16 is provided with a feed inlet 161. All the transfer silos 16 are arranged horizontally in a row at intervals. On the ground (or floor) of the third-layer space 13, there is a horizontal track B17 and a plurality of feeding ports. One end of the horizontal track B17 is close to the upper open end 182 of the transfer elevator 18, and the other end is far from the upper open end 182 of the transfer elevator 18. The feeding ports connect the second-layer space 12 and the third-layer space 13. Each feeding port corresponds vertically to the feed inlet 161 of a transfer silo 16.

[0084] The storage tank includes a tank body A21, a lead screw A22, a nut A23, an operation panel A24, an inner sleeve A25, an outer sleeve A26, an extension rod A27, an inner sealing cover A28, and an outer protective cover.

[0085] Inside the tank body A21, there is an inner cavity A211 for containing UO2 powder material. At the bottom of the tank body A21, there is a discharge port A212 communicating with the inner cavity A211. On the lower outer wall of the tank body A21 near the discharge port A212, there is an annular step surface 213. On the annular step surface 213 of the tank body A21, a ring-shaped upper pressing plate 215 is welded. The upper pressing plate 215 extends radially outward of the storage tank. Four legs 214 are welded evenly in a ring at the lower end of the tank body A21. The lead screw A22 is movably installed in the inner cavity A211 of the tank body A21 and is arranged at the center of the inner cavity A211 of the tank body A21 along the axial direction of the tank body A21. The lead screw A22 is successively provided with an operation section, a smooth rod section, and a threaded rod section from top to bottom. The operation section of the lead screw A22 extends out of the upper end of the tank body A21. The lead screw A22 is rotatably connected to the tank body A21 through a ball bearing in the smooth rod section. The nut A23 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod section of the lead screw A22. The nut A23 is provided with a guide groove A on its outer side wall surface. The operation disk A24 is fixedly installed on the operation section of the lead screw A22. The operation disk A24 is provided with a plurality of jacks A241 evenly distributed in a ring around the lead screw A22. The inner sleeve A25 is fixedly connected to the nut A23 and encloses the threaded rod section of the lead screw A22 through its inner hole. The outer sleeve A26 is movably sleeved outside the inner sleeve A25 through its inner hole. It is provided with a guide rib 261 on its inner side. It is fixedly installed on the tank body A21 on its outer side. It is slidably matched with the guide groove A of the nut A23 through the guide rib 261 on its inner side. The upper end of the extension rod A27 is fixedly connected (adopting a threaded connection method) to the lower end of the inner sleeve A25.

[0086] The inner sealing cover A28 is in a conical ring shape and is fixedly installed on the lower outer wall of the extension rod A27. It is used to open or close the discharge port A212 at the bottom of the tank body A21. The operation of opening or closing the discharge port A212 at the bottom of the tank body A21 is as follows: Twist the operation section of the lead screw A22 to make the nut A26 move along the guide rib 261 of the outer sleeve A26 (it can also be said to move along the lead screw A22), and then drive the inner sealing cover A28 to move through the inner sleeve A25 and the extension rod A27, so that the inner sealing cover A28 fits or disengages from the discharge port A212 of the tank body A21. When the inner sealing cover A28 fits the discharge port A212 of the tank body A21, the discharge port A212 is closed. When the inner sealing cover A28 disengages from the discharge port A212 of the tank body A21, the discharge port A212 is opened.

[0087] The outer protective cover includes an upper pressing plate 215, an upper seat body 292, a lower seat body 293, an L-shaped rocker 294 and a spring 295. The upper seat body 292 includes an upper sealing plate 2921, a corner connecting plate 2922 and a lower adsorption plate 2923 which are fixedly connected in sequence from top to bottom. The upper end surface of the upper sealing plate 2921 is used to fit or separate from the upper pressing plate 215 of the storage tank, so as to open or close the discharge port A212 of the storage tank. A circular boss X2924 for accommodating the spring 295 is provided in the central area of the lower end surface of the upper sealing plate 2921. A plurality of corner connecting plates 2922 are annularly and evenly distributed between the upper sealing plate 2921 and the lower adsorption plate 2923 around the circular boss X2924. The upper end of the corner connecting plate 2922 is welded to the lower end surface of the upper sealing plate 2921, and the lower end of the corner connecting plate 2922 is welded to the upper end surface of the lower adsorption plate 2923. A central hole A for the lower seat body to pass through is provided at the center of the lower adsorption plate 2923. The lower seat body 293 includes a lower pushing plate 2931 and an upper annular plate 2932 which are fixedly connected in sequence from bottom to top. A circular boss Y2933 for accommodating the spring is provided in the central area of the upper end surface of the lower pushing plate 2931. A plurality of guiding grooves X are annularly and evenly distributed on the upper end surface of the lower pushing plate 2931 around the circular boss Y2933. The upper annular plate 2932 is arranged at the upper end of the circular boss Y2933 and extends radially outward of the circular boss Y2933. An annular open area 2934 is provided between the outer side of the circular boss Y2933, the lower end of the upper annular plate 2932 and the upper end of the lower pushing plate 2931 of the lower seat body 293. The lower seat body 293 is movably inserted into the lower open end of the circular boss X2924 of the upper seat body 292 through the upper open end of the circular boss Y2933, so that the inside of the circular boss X2924 of the upper seat body 292 is communicated with the circular boss Y2933 of the lower seat body 293 to form a spring placement cavity 2935. The upper end of the L-shaped rocker 294 is provided with a hook portion 2941, the lower end is provided with a roller A2942, and the middle is provided with a turning portion 2943. The turning portion of the L-shaped rocker 294 is hinged to the lower end of the corner connecting plate 2922.

[0118] S01. Place the storage tank and the transfer tank respectively:

[0119] a. Operate the jib crane to lift and place a group of storage tanks into the placement station B423 of the storage tank translation trolley respectively. One storage tank is placed in each placement station B423. During the process of lifting the storage tank to the placement station B423, the guide rollers on the four sides of the placement station B423 guide, correct the deviation and center the storage tank;

[0120] b. Operate the jib crane to lift and place multiple empty transfer tanks onto the third conveyor belt 300. The rotation drive motor A412 of the transfer tank rotating device is started to drive the upper turntable 413 to rotate, so that the inlet and outlet A416 of the transfer tank rotating device are facing the third conveyor belt 300;

[0121] c. The third conveyor belt 300 starts, driving the transfer tank placed thereon to move towards the direction of the inlet and outlet A416 of the transfer tank rotating device. When the transfer tank closest to the transfer tank rotating device enters the rolling conveyor surface A through the inlet and outlet A416, the roller drives the transfer tank to move towards the direction of the limit frame 414. During the movement, the two rows of first guiding rollers 415 are respectively in contact with the two surfaces on the guiding section 314 of the transfer tank, playing a role in limiting the movement path of the transfer tank. When the transfer tank is adsorbed by the limit electromagnet 4141 on the limit frame 414, the transfer tank is locked in the placement station A417 of the transfer tank rotating device.

[0122] In this step, the number of suspended transfer tanks is the same as the number of transfer bins 16, and each transfer tank is used for one round of feeding operation.

[0123] S02. Remove the outer protective cover of the storage tank:

[0124] a. The storage tank translation trolley drives the target storage tank to move to the fourth docking position, so that the lower adsorption plate 2923 of the outer protective cover is directly above the annular electromagnet 433, and the lower push plate 2931 of the outer protective cover is directly above the traction electromagnet 434.

[0125] b. The electric push rod B431 of the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device rises, driving the annular electromagnet 433 to move upward. When the annular electromagnet 433 contacts the lower adsorption plate 2923, the annular electromagnet 435 is energized to attract the lower adsorption plate 2923. Then, the traction electromagnet 434 rises. After contacting the lower push plate 2931, it overcomes the elastic force of the spring 295 to push the lower push plate 2931 upward, driving the L-shaped rocker 294 to rotate outward (counterclockwise) around its hinge point towards the outside of the storage tank, so that the hook part 2941 of the L-shaped rocker 294 disengages from the upper end surface of the upper pressure plate 215, thus unlocking the outer protective cover from the target storage tank.

[0126] c. The traction electromagnet 434 of the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device is energized to attract the lower push plate 2931, so that the L-shaped rocker 294 maintains its current position. Then, the electric push rod B431 descends, driving the outer protective cover to move downward, so that the outer protective cover completely disengages from the target storage tank.

[0127] d. Repeat steps a to c to sequentially remove the outer protective covers of all the storage tanks in the placement stations B on the storage tank translation trolley.

[0128] S03. Feed multiple storage tanks into the transfer tank in sequence:

[0129] a. The rotation drive motor A412 in the transfer tank rotation device starts, driving the transfer tank placed at the placement station A417 to rotate to the first docking position, so that the upper sealing cover 32 of the transfer tank is directly below the electromagnetic chuck 453 of the transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device;

[0130] b. The storage tank translation trolley drives the target storage tank to move to the fifth docking position, so that the discharge port A212 of the storage tank is directly above the upper movable pipe 463 of the lower pipeline docking device;

[0131] c. The lifting drive device B451 of the transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device descends, driving the electromagnetic chuck 453 to descend. When the electromagnetic chuck 453 contacts the upper sealing cover 32 of the transfer tank, the electromagnetic chuck 453 is energized to hold the upper sealing cover 32. Then, the lifting drive device B451 ascends, driving the electromagnetic chuck 453 and the upper sealing cover 32 to move upward, thus removing the upper sealing cover 32 from the feed port 313 of the transfer tank, exposing the feed port 313 of the transfer tank;

[0132] d. The rotation drive motor A412 of the transfer tank rotation device starts, driving the transfer tank placed at the placement station A417 to rotate to the second docking position, so that the feed port 313 of the transfer tank is directly below the lower movable pipe 464 of the lower pipeline docking device;

[0133] e. The two linear motors A465 of the lower pipeline docking device act synchronously, respectively driving the upper movable pipe 463 to move upward through the transmission of the connecting rod A467, so that the upper port of the upper movable pipe 463 is docked with the discharge port A212 of the target storage tank; the two linear motors B466 of the lower pipeline docking device act synchronously, respectively driving the lower movable pipe 464 to move downward through the transmission of the connecting rod B468, so that the lower port of the lower movable pipe 464 is docked with the feed port 313 of the transfer tank;

[0134] f. The rotation drive motor B443 of the inner lid opening and closing device of the storage tank is started, driving the docking plate 444 to rotate by a certain angle so that the finger rod 4441 of the docking plate 444 is directly opposite to the insertion hole A241 of the operation panel A24 of the target storage tank. At the same time, the lifting drive device A442 is started to drive the docking plate 444 to move downward, inserting the finger rod 4441 of the docking plate 444 into the insertion hole A241 of the operation panel A24 of the target storage tank. Then, the rotation drive motor B443 of the inner lid opening and closing device of the storage tank is started, driving the docking plate 444 to rotate, driving the operation panel A24 and the lead screw A22 of the target storage tank to rotate, and further driving the nut A23 to move downward along the lead screw A22. The nut A23 drives the inner sealing cover A28 to move downward through the inner sleeve A25 and the extension rod A27, so that the inner sealing cover A28 is separated from the discharge port A212 of the target storage tank, thereby forming an annular gap for the powder material to fall. The powder material in the inner cavity A211 of the target storage tank then falls through the annular gap, and then passes through the upper movable pipe 463, the middle pipe 462, the lower movable pipe 464, and the feed port 313 of the transfer tank in sequence and enters the inner cavity B311 of the transfer tank;

[0135] g. After the powder material in the target storage tank is completely discharged, the following three operations are carried out simultaneously: 1. The two linear motors A465 in the lower pipe docking device act synchronously, respectively driving the upper movable pipe 463 to move downward through the transmission of the connecting rod A467 to avoid interfering with the subsequent movement of the storage tank translation trolley; 2. The two linear motors B466 in the lower pipe docking device act synchronously, respectively driving the lower movable pipe 464 to move upward through the transmission of the connecting rod B468 to avoid interfering with the subsequent rotation of the transfer tank located on the transfer tank rotating device; 3. The rotation drive motor B443 in the inner lid opening and closing device of the storage tank is started, driving the docking plate 444 to rotate, driving the operation panel A24 and the lead screw A22 of the target storage tank to rotate, and further driving the nut A23 to move downward along the lead screw A22. The nut A23 drives the inner sealing cover A28 to move downward through the inner sleeve A25 and the extension rod A27, so that the inner sealing cover A28 fits and closes the discharge port A212 of the target storage tank. Then, the lifting drive device A442 is started to drive the docking plate 444 to move upward, so that the finger rod 4441 of the docking plate 444 exits the insertion hole A241 of the operation panel A24 of the target storage tank;

[0136] h. Repeat steps a - g to enable other storage tanks on the storage tank translation trolley to be docked and fed to the transfer tank in sequence;

[0137] i. After all the storage tanks on the storage tank translation trolley are fed, the rotation drive motor A412 of the transfer tank rotating device is started, driving the transfer tank in the placement station A417 to rotate to the first docking position, so that the feed port 313 of the transfer tank rotates to directly below the electromagnetic chuck 453 of the transfer tank upper cover disassembly and assembly device;

[0138] j. The lifting drive device B451 of the disassembly and assembly device for the upper cover of the transfer tank descends, driving the electromagnetic chuck 453 to descend, and inserts the upper sealing cover 323 adsorbed on the electromagnetic chuck 453 into the feed port 313 of the transfer tank; the electromagnetic chuck 453 is powered off to release the adsorption state with the upper sealing cover 323; the lifting drive device B451 ascends, driving the electromagnetic chuck 453 to ascend to avoid interfering with the subsequent rotation of the transfer tank located on the transfer tank rotating device.

[0139] In this step, during the process of the storage tank starting to discharge the powder material until the powder material in the storage tank is completely discharged (corresponding to sub-step f), the vibration motor 30 is started, the ball valve in the negative pressure dust removal device is opened, and the negative pressure fan 475 is started. The negative pressure is conducted to the filter unit 471 in sequence through the negative pressure fan 475, the hose 474, the main pipe 472, and the branch pipe 473. All the filter units 471 jointly suck the dust floating above the inner cavity B311 of the transfer tank, and the dust is intercepted in the filter unit 471. The filtered air is discharged into the external environment through the branch pipe 473, the main pipe 472, the hose 474, and the negative pressure fan 475 in sequence.

[0140] In this step, after all the storage tanks on the storage tank translation trolley have been filled with materials (corresponding to the end of sub-step f - before the start of sub-step g), first, the negative pressure fan 475 and the vibration motor 30 are turned off, then the ball valve at the total air outlet of the main pipe 472 is closed, and finally, the connection between the hose 474 and the total air outlet of the main pipe 472 is disconnected.

[0141] In this step, the transfer tank rotating device should avoid driving the transfer tank to always rotate in one direction, thereby preventing the hose from winding around the transfer tank.

[0142] S04. Install the outer protective cover of the storage tank:

[0143] a. The storage tank translation trolley drives the target storage tank with the outer protective cover removed to move to the fourth docking position. Since the upper end of the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device is already connected with the outer protective cover, the upper sealing plate 2921 of the outer protective cover is located directly below the upper pressing plate 215 of the storage tank.

[0144] b. The electric push rod B431 of the storage tank outer cover disassembly and assembly device ascends, driving the outer protective cover to move upward. When the upper sealing plate 2921 of the outer protective cover fits the upper pressing plate 215 of the storage tank, the discharge port A212 of the storage tank is closed; then, the traction electromagnet 434 descends, thereby driving the lower push plate 2931 to move downward, and further driving the L-shaped rocker 294 to rotate inward (clockwise) around its hinge point towards the storage tank, so that the hook portion 2941 of the L-shaped rocker 294 is placed on the upper end surface of the upper pressing plate 215.

[0145] c. The traction electromagnet 434 and the annular electromagnet 433 of the outer cover disassembly and assembly device of the storage tank are powered off, so that the traction electromagnet 434 releases the adsorption state with the lower push plate 2931, and the annular electromagnet 433 releases the adsorption state with the lower adsorption plate 2923; then, the electric push rod B431 descends, so that the outer protective cover is completely separated from the outer cover disassembly and assembly device of the storage tank, and the lower seat body 293 has a downward movement tendency under the action of the spring 295 elasticity, thereby driving the L-shaped rocker 294 to have a tendency to rotate around its hinge point towards the inside of the storage tank, and further pressing the hook portion 2941 of the L-shaped rocker 294 against the upper end surface of the upper pressing plate 215. Thus, the outer protective cover has been installed on the target storage tank;

[0146] d. Repeat steps a to c to sequentially install outer protective covers on all storage tanks on the storage tank translation trolley.

[0147] S05. Transfer the transfer tank to the transfer tank translation trolley:

[0148] a. The rotation drive motor A412 of the transfer tank rotating device is started to drive the upper turntable 413 to rotate, so that the inlet and outlet A416 of the transfer tank rotating device are aligned with the first conveyor belt 100; then, the limit electromagnet 4141 is powered off to release the locking state of the transfer tank in the placement station A417; then, the transfer tank is driven to move towards the direction close to the inlet and outlet A416 by the rollers. During the movement, the two rows of first guide rollers 415 are respectively in contact with two surfaces on the guide section 314 of the transfer tank, playing a role in limiting the movement path of the transfer tank until the transfer tank is discharged from the inlet and outlet A416 to the outside of the transfer tank rotating device;

[0149] b. After the transfer tank is discharged to the outside of the transfer tank rotating device, it sequentially passes through the first conveyor belt 100, the transfer elevator 18, the second conveyor belt 200, and several empty transfer tank translation trolleys at the front end, and enters the rolling conveying surface B of the last empty transfer tank translation trolley at the rear end;

[0150] c. The rollers on the transfer tank translation trolley are started to drive the transfer tank to move to the central area of the rolling conveying surface B. During the movement, the two rows of second guide rollers 515 are respectively in contact with two surfaces on the guide section 314 of the transfer tank, playing a role in limiting the movement path of the transfer tank; after the transfer tank moves to the central area of the rolling conveying surface B, the rollers pause running, and the front cylinder 517 and the rear cylinder 519 are respectively started to drive the front limit plate 516 and the rear limit plate 518 to extend above the rolling conveying surface B, so that the front limit plate 516 and the rear limit plate 518 respectively abut against the other two surfaces on the guide section 314 of the transfer tank, thereby locking the transfer tank in the placement station C510 of the transfer tank translation trolley.

[0151] In this step, the "front end" refers to the end relatively closer to the open end of the transfer elevator, and the "back end" refers to the end relatively farther from the open end of the transfer elevator.

[0152] S06, feeding the intermediate storage tank into the corresponding intermediate storage bin:

[0153] a. The rotation drive motor D524 of the upper pipeline docking device is started, and the cover plate 526 is driven to rotate through the second extension rod 525 to open the upper port of the docking pipe 522 in the lower limit position; the intermediate storage tank translation trolley drives the intermediate storage tank to move from the tank transfer position to the feeding position so that the intermediate storage tank and the upper pipeline docking device are vertically aligned; then, the lifting drive device C521 of the upper pipeline docking device is started to drive the docking pipe 522 to rise from the lower limit position to the upper limit position, so that the discharge port B312 of the intermediate storage tank is included through the upper port of the docking pipe 522. At this time, the lower port of the docking pipe 522 is still inserted into the feeding port 161 of the intermediate storage bin 16.

[0154] b. The rotation drive motor C533 of the inner cover opening and closing device of the intermediate storage tank is started to drive the plugging disc 534 to rotate by a certain angle, so that the plug rod 5341 at the lower end of the plugging disc 534 is aligned with the jack B351 in the operation panel B35 of the intermediate storage tank; then, the lifting drive device C521 is started to drive the plugging disc 534 to move downward, so that the plug rod 5341 at the lower end of the plugging disc 534 is inserted into the jack B351 of the operation panel B35 of the intermediate storage tank; then, the rotation drive motor C533 is started to drive the plugging disc 534 to rotate, driving the operation panel B35 and the lead screw B33 of the intermediate storage tank to rotate, and further driving the nut B34 to move downward along the lead screw B33. The nut B34 drives the inner sealing cover B39 to move downward through the inner sleeve B36 and the extension rod B38, so that the inner sealing cover B39 is separated from the discharge port B312 of the intermediate storage tank, thereby forming an annular gap for the powder material to fall; the powder material in the inner cavity B311 of the intermediate storage tank then falls through the annular gap, and then enters the interior of the intermediate storage bin 16 through the docking pipe 522 and the feeding port 161 in sequence.

[0155] c. After the powder material in the intermediate storage tank is completely discharged, the two linear motors A465 in the lower pipeline docking device act synchronously, and respectively drive the upper movable pipeline 463 to move downward through the transmission of the connecting rod A467 to avoid interference and avoid the subsequent movement of the storage tank translation trolley.

[0156] d. The rotary drive motor C533 in the opening / closing device of the inner lid of the transfer tank is started, driving the plugging disk 534 to rotate, driving the operation disk B35 and the lead screw B33 of the transfer tank to rotate, and further driving the nut B34 to move upward along the lead screw B33. The nut B34 drives the inner sealing cover B39 to move upward through the inner sleeve B36 and the extension rod B38, so that the inner sealing cover B39 fits the discharge port B312 of the transfer tank, thereby closing the discharge port B312 of the transfer tank. Then, the lifting drive device C521 is started to drive the plugging disk 534 to move upward, so that the insertion rod 5341 at the lower end of the plugging disk 534 withdraws from the insertion hole B351 of the operation disk B35 of the transfer tank. Thus, one round of feeding operation is completed.

[0157] In this step, the upper end of the intermediate storage bin 16 is provided with a negative pressure dust suction port (not shown in the figure), and the negative pressure dust suction port is communicated with an external negative pressure source. When the powder material enters the intermediate storage bin 16, the external negative pressure source is immediately started to perform negative pressure dust removal operation on the upper end of the intermediate storage bin 16 to prevent the powder material from floating out from the feeding port 161.

[0158] S07. Complete subsequent several rounds of feeding operations:

[0159] Repeat the above steps S01 - S06 to complete subsequent several rounds of feeding operations. After completion, there is an empty transfer tank limited in each placement station C510 of the transfer tank translation trolley.

[0160] S08. Recycle the empty transfer tanks in sequence:

[0161] a. The front cylinder 517 and the rear cylinder 519 on the first transfer tank translation trolley at the front end are started respectively, driving the front limit plate 516 and the rear limit plate 518 to retract below the rolling conveying surface B, so that the front limit plate 516 and the rear limit plate 518 are disengaged from the two surfaces of the guiding section 314 of the transfer tank, thereby releasing the locked state of the transfer tank in the placement station C510.

[0162] b. The first transfer tank translation trolley at the front end drives the transfer tank to move from the feeding position to the tank transfer position. Then, the rollers on the transfer tank translation trolley are started to drive the transfer tank to move in the direction close to the import / export B517. During the movement, the two rows of second guiding rollers 515 are respectively in contact with the two surfaces of the guiding section 314 of the transfer tank, playing a role in limiting the movement path of the transfer tank until the transfer tank is discharged from the import / export B517 to the outside of the transfer tank translation trolley.

[0163] c. After the transfer tank is discharged to the outside of the first transfer tank rotating device at the front end, it passes through the second conveyor belt 200, the transfer elevator 18, the first conveyor belt 100, and the transfer tank rotating device in sequence and returns to the third conveyor belt 300. Then, the empty transfer tank is lifted off the third conveyor belt 300 by the cantilever crane, and the recycling of the first transfer tank is completed.

[0164] d. Repeat steps a to c to complete the recovery operations for the remaining transfer tanks. During the process of recovering the nth transfer tank, there are n - 1 transfer tank transfer trolleys between the nth transfer tank transfer trolley at the front end and the second conveyor belt 200, and these n - 1 transfer tank transfer trolleys are used to relay the transfer of the transfer tanks.
