A device for detecting the presence of coke in coke canisters on a dry quenching coke transport vehicle.

Abstract

This invention discloses a device for detecting the presence of coke in coke cans on a dry quenching coke transport vehicle, belonging to the field of coking technology. It includes a frame, a rotating turntable, and a support assembly. The support assembly consists of several sets of support seats and three sets of weighing platforms. The support seats and weighing platforms are evenly distributed in a ring on the upper surface of the frame, with the included angle between the three sets of weighing platforms being 120°. The rotating turntable is positioned above the support assembly and is guided by the support assembly to rotate. By placing the weighing platforms below the rotating turntable, the combined action of the support seats and weighing platforms achieves both support and guidance for the rotating turntable, without affecting its rotational function. This also enables real-time detection of the actual weight of the coke cans, revealing the current coke storage status within the cans. The use of three sets of weighing platforms at a 120° angle ensures the accuracy and stability of the weight acquisition signal. Furthermore, the cross-verification of the detection data from the three sets of weighing platforms ensures the accuracy of the detection results.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coking technology, specifically relating to a device for detecting the presence of coke in coke canisters on a dry quenching coke transport vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of coking technology, on-site production has placed higher demands on the safety and reliability of dry quenching processes. In conventional dry quenching processes, two coke tank carriers run in series on the quenching car track. When they reach the carbonization chamber (below the coke quenching car) where coke is to be discharged for coking operations, electrical checks are performed on the carriers (signals indicating whether there are coke tanks on the carriers and the coke quenching car alignment signal) to confirm whether the carriers meet the coke receiving conditions. After receiving signals that the carriers are aligned with the coke receiving position and that the coke tanks are carrying coke tanks, the system automatically or manually selects the empty coke tank to be received, and then presses the "coke tank rotation" button. The empty coke tank then begins to rotate to receive coke.

[0003] With the increasing scale and automation of coke ovens, production efficiency is constantly improving. During the dry quenching process in coke ovens, due to elevator malfunctions or maintenance of the loading equipment, full cans may be forced to return to the transport vehicles. However, the transport vehicles lack the ability to distinguish whether a can is empty or not, and cannot visually differentiate between empty and full cans. This can lead to confusion between empty and full cans on two transport vehicles, resulting in full cans being received and, consequently, the spillage of red-hot coke. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address some or all of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a device for detecting the presence or absence of coke in a dry quenching coke transport vehicle, comprising: a frame, a rotating turntable, and a support assembly. The frame is mounted on the transport vehicle. The support assembly consists of several sets of support seats and three sets of weighing platforms. The support seats and weighing platforms are evenly distributed in a ring on the upper surface of the frame, and the three sets of weighing platforms are evenly distributed at a horizontal angle of 120°. The rotating turntable is positioned above the support assembly and is guided by the support assembly to rotate.

[0005] Furthermore, the rotating turntable is provided with a stop for fixing the coke can.

[0006] Furthermore, the support base includes: a support, a roller, a central pin, and a baffle. The support is fixedly installed on the frame, the central pin is installed on the support and limited by the baffle, and the roller is rotatably connected to the central pin.

[0007] In one specific embodiment, the weighing platform includes: a support, a roller, a pin-type load cell, and a baffle. The support is fixedly installed on the frame, the pin-type load cell is installed on the support and limited by the baffle, and the roller is rotatably connected to the pin.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the weighing platform includes: a bridge-type load cell, a support, a roller, a central pin, and a baffle. The bridge-type load cell is fixedly mounted on the frame, the support is fixedly mounted on the bridge-type load cell, the central pin is mounted on the support and limited by the baffle, and the roller is rotatably connected to the central pin.

[0009] The device for detecting the presence of coke in coke canisters on a dry quenching coke transport vehicle of the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By placing the weighing platform below the rotating turntable, the combined action of the support base and the weighing platform provides support and guidance for the turntable without affecting its rotation function. This also enables real-time monitoring of the actual weight of the coke canister. By comparing the weight of the coke canister with the weight of an empty canister and a full canister, the current coke storage status within the canister can be quickly determined. The use of three weighing platforms at a 120° angle ensures accurate and stable weight acquisition signals, and the cross-verification of the data from the three weighing platforms guarantees the accuracy of the test results.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0013] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the device for detecting the presence or absence of coke in a coke canister on a dry quenching transport vehicle provided by the present invention includes: a frame 4, a rotating turntable 2, and a support assembly 3. The frame 4 is installed on the transport vehicle. The support assembly 3 consists of several sets of support seats and three sets of weighing platforms. The support seats and weighing platforms are evenly distributed in a ring on the upper surface of the frame 4, and the three sets of weighing platforms are evenly distributed at a horizontal angle of 120°. The rotating turntable 2 is located above the support assembly 3 and is guided by the support assembly 3 to rotate.

[0014] By placing the weighing platform below the rotating turntable 2, the support base and the weighing platform work together to support and guide the rotating turntable 2 without affecting its rotation function. This also enables real-time detection of the actual weight of the coke canister 1. By comparing the weight of the coke canister 1 with the weight of an empty canister and a full canister, the current coke storage status in the coke canister 1 can be quickly determined. By using three sets of weighing platforms set at an angle of 120°, the accuracy and stability of the weight acquisition signal are ensured. Furthermore, the cross-verification of the detection data from the three sets of weighing platforms ensures the accuracy of the detection results.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating turntable 2 is provided with a stop for fixing the coke can 1.

[0016] By setting a stop on the rotating turntable 2, the complexity of fixing the coke tank 1 is simplified while ensuring the stability of the coke tank 1, which improves the efficiency of coke tank 1 installation and reduces the production cost of the equipment.

[0017] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support base includes: a support 31, a roller 32, a central pin 33, and a baffle 34. The support 31 is fixedly installed on the frame 4. The central pin 33 is installed on the support 31 and limited by the baffle 34. The roller 32 is rotatably connected to the central pin 33.

[0018] The entire support structure is rigidly connected, making it robust and requiring minimal maintenance. The number of supports is redundant, enabling planned centralized maintenance and preventing unexpected failures from impacting production schedules.

[0019] As one specific implementation method, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the weighing platform includes: a support 31, a roller 32, a pin-type load cell 35, and a baffle 34. The support 31 is fixedly installed on the frame 4. The pin-type load cell 35 is installed on the support 31 and limited by the baffle 34. The roller 32 is rotatably connected to the pin.

[0020] By replacing the central pin 33 with a pin-type load cell 35, no additional installation space is required, and the vertical load on the roller 32 can be directly transmitted to the pin-type load cell 35. The load transmission path is short, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.

[0021] As one specific implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the weighing platform includes: a bridge-type load cell 36, a support 31, a roller 32, a central pin 33, and a baffle 34. The bridge-type load cell 36 is fixedly mounted on the frame 4, the support 31 is fixedly mounted on the bridge-type load cell 36, the central pin 33 is mounted on the support 31 and limited by the baffle 34, and the roller 32 is rotatably connected to the central pin 33.

[0022] Bridge sensors offer better structural stability and resistance to lateral forces and torsional loads. They can adapt to slight off-center loads or horizontal forces that may be generated by roller 32, making them suitable for complex industrial environments.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "connection" or its synonyms should be interpreted broadly in this document. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, expressions such as "first" and "second" are merely used to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Meanwhile, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. In addition, the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" in this document refer to the placement states shown in the accompanying drawings.
