[0027] like Figures 1-4The device shown is a high-activity calcium aluminate refractory binder molar ratio control device, including a mixing tank 1 and a support base 8. A support 7 is installed on the mixing tank 1, and the mixing tank 1 is fixedly installed on the support base 8 through the support 7. A mixing tank top cover 102 is provided on the top of the mixing tank 1. Multiple mixing tank inlets 1021 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the mixing tank top cover 102.

A storage tank 3 is installed on the top of each metering pump 2. A second pneumatic butterfly valve 301 is provided at the lower end of the storage tank 3 to control the material entering the metering pump 2.
[0028] A stirring motor 4 is installed at the center of the top of the mixing tank 1. A stirring paddle 101 is installed at the output end of the stirring motor 4. The stirring motor 4 drives the stirring paddle 101 to rotate, thereby stirring and mixing the materials in the mixing tank 1.
[0029] The lower end of the mixing tank 1 is provided with a conical bottom 109, and the conical bottom 109 is provided with a sampling module for extracting materials in the mixing tank 1. The sampling module is connected to the component analyzer 6.
[0030] A control cabinet 9 is also installed on the support base 8. The control cabinet 9 contains a central control system. The metering pump 2, the second pneumatic butterfly valve 301, the stirring motor 4, and the component detector 6 are all electrically connected to the control cabinet 9 and integrated with the internal central control system. An operation panel 10 is installed on the control cabinet 9 for human-machine interaction and equipment operation.
[0031] The sampling module includes a sampling hole 103, a sampling switch 104, and a pneumatic assembly 5. The sampling hole 103 has a conical hole 1031 and a stepped hole 1032 communicating with the conical hole 1031. The sampling switch 104 is installed in the sampling hole 103. The sampling switch 104 includes a conical plug 1041, which abuts against the conical hole 1031. A conical plug rod 1042 is fixed below the conical plug 1041. The lower end of the conical plug rod 1042 has an arc-shaped surface 1044. A return spring 1043 is sleeved on the conical plug rod 1042. One end of the return spring 1043 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical plug 1041, and the other end is fixedly connected to the stepped end face of the stepped hole 1032. The length of the conical plug rod 1042 is greater than the length of the return spring 1043.
[0032] The lower end of the mixing tank 1 is provided with a mounting base 105 located on one side of the sampling switch 104. A pneumatic assembly 5 is installed on the mounting base 105. The pneumatic assembly 5 includes a pneumatic valve 501, which is electrically connected to the control cabinet 9 and integrated with the internal central control system. The pneumatic valve 501 is provided with a pneumatic valve stem 502, which is slidably connected to the mounting base 105. The end of the pneumatic valve stem 502 is provided with a sliding inclined surface 5022. A limiting groove 5021 is provided above the sliding inclined surface 5022, and a sampling tube 503 is provided below it. A connecting plate 504 is provided between the pneumatic valve stem 502 and the sampling tube 503. The connecting plate 504 is used to connect the pneumatic valve stem 502 and the sampling tube 503.
[0033] The sampling tube 503 has a hollow structure, and a U-shaped part 5031 is provided on the side of the sampling tube 503 away from the pneumatic valve 501.
[0034] The lower end of the mixing tank 1 has a contoured through-hole 106 communicating with the sampling port 103. The shape of the contoured through-hole 106 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the pneumatic valve rod 502, the sampling tube 503, and the connecting plate 504. The contoured through-hole 106 is adapted to the pneumatic valve rod 502, the sampling tube 503, and the connecting plate 504, and the pneumatic valve rod 502 and the sampling tube 503 are aligned with the contoured through-hole 106. A pusher rod 1051 is fixed below the mounting base 105, and the pusher rod 1051 is slidably connected to the sampling tube 503.
[0035] The mixing tank 1 has a discharge port 107 at its lower end, and a first pneumatic butterfly valve 108 is installed on the discharge port 107 to control the opening or closing of the discharge port 107. The first pneumatic butterfly valve 108 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 9. The component analyzer 6 has a sample inlet 601, which is located below the sampling tube 503.
[0036] During operation, various parameters such as molar ratio and raw material demand are set through the operation screen 10. Various raw materials enter the metering pump 2 from each storage tank 3. The metering pump 2 controls the amount of raw materials entering the metering pump 2 according to the raw material demand. The raw materials enter the mixing tank 1 from the metering pump 2 through the feed port 1021 of each mixing tank. The stirring motor 4 drives the stirring paddle 101 to carry out the mixing work.
[0037] When the mixing process reaches the preset time, the sampling module needs to take samples to detect the molar ratio of the mixed materials. The pneumatic valve 501 drives the pneumatic valve rod 502 and the sampling tube 503 to perform reciprocating linear motion, combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when the pneumatic valve 501 drives the pneumatic valve rod 502 and sampling tube 503 to move to the left, the pneumatic valve rod 502, sampling tube 503, and connecting plate 504 slide against the contoured through hole 106. The pneumatic valve rod 502, sampling tube 503, and connecting plate 504 pass through the contoured through hole 106 and enter the sampling hole 103. The pusher rod 1051 separates from the sampling tube 503, and the arc-shaped surface 1044 of the conical stopper rod 1042 slides against the sliding inclined surface 5022 of the pneumatic valve rod 502. The sliding inclined surface 5022 causes the conical stopper rod 1042 to move upward along the axial direction. Rod 1042 pushes the conical plug 1041 upward, causing the conical plug 1041 to separate from the conical hole 1031. When the conical plug rod 1042 slides into the limiting groove 5021, the conical plug rod 1042 stops moving. The limiting groove 5021 is a groove structure with one end open, which restricts the radial movement of the conical plug rod 1042 in the right, forward, and backward directions, thereby restricting the movement of the sampling switch 104 and ensuring that the sampling switch 104 does not deviate from the pneumatic valve rod 502, thus ensuring the normal opening of the sampling switch 104. At the same time as the sampling switch 104 is opened, the return spring 1043 is stretched. The material in the mixing tank 1 falls into the U-shaped part 5031 of the sampling tube 503 through the sampling hole 103. The pneumatic valve 501 drives the pneumatic valve rod 502 and the sampling tube 503 to move to the right. The pusher 1051 enters the sampling tube 503. During the movement to the right, the pusher 1051 pushes the material in the U-shaped part 5031 to move to the left until the end of the pusher 1051 is completely flush with the end of the sampling tube 503. At this time, the material also falls completely into the sample inlet 601 of the component analyzer 6. The reset spring 1043 drives the sampling switch 104 to reset, so that the conical plug 1041 and the conical hole 1031 re-abut against each other, and the sampling is completed.
[0038] The component analyzer 6 performs molar ratio detection on the sample material and feeds the detection results back to the central control system in the control cabinet 9. After receiving the online analysis data, the central controller compares it with the set value in the system, calculates the deviation, and opens the second pneumatic butterfly valve 301 of the raw material storage tank 3 that needs adjustment based on the deviation. The material enters the corresponding metering pump 2, and the metering pump 2 adjusts the amount of raw material added according to the parameters. The adjusted raw material then enters the mixing tank inlet 1021 through the metering pump 2. The stirring paddle 101 continues to stir the material in the mixing tank 1 until the material molar ratio is maintained within the set range.
[0039] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
