[0015] 1. This invention uses a laser rangefinder to detect the thickness of the material on the grate. When the material level is too high or too low, the grate rises more significantly in areas with thicker material layers and less significantly or remains unchanged in areas with thinner material layers. By using push rod motors and lead screw motors to drive the fixed blocks and nut pairs to move up and down, the grate moves up and down, thereby adjusting the rise of the grate. In conjunction with the thickness control component, the clinker is evenly distributed to different parts of the grate cooler, avoiding the concentration of clinker in a certain area, which would result in uneven material layer thickness.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of grate cooler technology, specifically to a grate cooler capable of measuring and controlling the thickness distribution of the material layer. Background Technology
[0002] The grate cooler is a crucial piece of equipment in the clinker calcination system of a cement plant. Its main functions are to cool and transport cement clinker; it also provides hot air for the rotary kiln and precalciner, and is a key component in heat recovery within the calcination system. The grate cooler is a type of rapid cooling cooler. After entering the cooler from the kiln, the clinker forms a layer of a certain thickness on the grate. Cold air is blown in and passes through the moving material layer on the grate in a perpendicular direction, rapidly cooling the clinker from 1300-1400℃ to below 100℃ within minutes.
[0003] Traditional grate coolers are classified into three types: rotary, vibrating, and push-type. However, since the first two types have been phased out, the push-type grate cooler has become the main type of cement clinker cooler used in conjunction with precalciner kilns. The grate is the main component of the cooler, and the push-type grate consists of rows of fixed and movable grate plates arranged at intervals.
[0004] Currently, if the material layer is too thick, the clinker stays in the grate cooler for a longer time, but the cooling air has difficulty penetrating the thick material layer, resulting in insufficient cooling of the clinker. This will cause the clinker temperature to be too high and enter the subsequent conveying and storage stages, which may cause problems such as gypsum dehydration and false setting of cement, affecting the quality stability of cement. Summary of the Invention

[0014] This invention provides a grate cooler capable of measuring and controlling the material layer thickness distribution. It offers the following advantages:
[0015] 1. This invention uses a laser rangefinder to detect the thickness of the material on the grate. When the material level is too high or too low, the grate rises more significantly in areas with thicker material layers and less significantly or remains unchanged in areas with thinner material layers. By using push rod motors and lead screw motors to drive the fixed blocks and nut pairs to move up and down, the grate moves up and down, thereby adjusting the rise of the grate. In conjunction with the thickness control component, the clinker is evenly distributed to different parts of the grate cooler, avoiding the concentration of clinker in a certain area, which would result in uneven material layer thickness.
[0016] 2. The present invention controls the feeding speed by turning on the first servo motor, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, thereby moving the baffle up and down through the rack. This ensures that the clinker is evenly distributed on the grate, avoiding local accumulation and ensuring the stability of raw material feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example:
[0026] like Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a grate cooler capable of measuring and controlling the thickness distribution of a material layer. It includes a support base 2, a feed box 3 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the support base 2, a cooling box 8 fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the support base 2, and a discharge box 9 fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the support base 2. A hydraulic cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the feed box 3. A discharge funnel 5 is passed through and fixedly connected to the top of the feed box 3. A material distribution component is provided on one side of the inner wall of the discharge funnel 5. Second servo motors 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cooling box 8. Sleeves 16 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the second servo motors 7. Springs 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the sleeves 16. Sliding rods 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the springs 17 and are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeves 16. A thickness control component is provided at the bottom of the sliding rods 18. The inner walls of the cooling box 8 and the discharge box 9... A uniformly distributed laser rangefinder 19 is fixedly connected to the top. The outer walls of the cooling box 8 and the discharge box 9 are provided with uniformly distributed sliding grooves 25. A second protective cover 31 is fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the outer wall of the cooling box 8 and the discharge box 9. A lead screw motor 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the second protective cover 31. A nut pair 33 is threaded through and threaded to the output end of the lead screw motor 32. The nut pair 33 is slidably connected to the second protective cover 31. A rotating rod 34 is provided at one end of the nut pair 33.

[0027] The thickness of the material on the grate 15 is detected by the laser rangefinder 19. When the material is too high or too low, the grate 15 rises more significantly in areas with thicker material layers, and rises less or remains unchanged in areas with thinner material layers. The push rod motor 28 and the lead screw motor 32 drive the fixed block 29 and the nut assembly 33 to move up and down, thereby moving the grate 15 up and down. This adjusts the rise of the grate 15 and, together with the thickness control component, distributes the clinker evenly to different parts of the grate cooler, preventing the clinker from concentrating in one area and causing uneven material layer thickness.

[0030] The thickness control assembly includes a first fixed plate 20 and an eccentric wheel 22. The first fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side slide bar 18, and the eccentric wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other side slide bar 18.

[0031] When in use, the second servo motor 7 is turned on. The output end of the second servo motor 7 rotates, driving the sleeve 16, spring 17 and slide rod 18 to rotate, thereby driving the first fixed plate 20, the first push rod 21, the eccentric wheel 22, the second fixed plate 23 and the second push rod 24 to rotate, so that the material on the grate bed 15 is evenly distributed.
[0032] A feeding hopper 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding box 3. A protective plate 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the feeding hopper 5.

[0033] The inner wall of the cooling box 8 is provided with evenly distributed grate beds 15, and one end of the grate beds 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third servo motor 30. The inner wall of the discharge box 9 is provided with grate beds 15, and one end of the grate beds 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third servo motor 30.
