Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of sludge moisture content detection, and in particular to a sludge moisture content detection device and a detection method. Background Art
[0002] my country has a huge amount of sludge production, and sludge reduction treatment is an indispensable part of the development of a civilized society. At present, the main method for measuring sludge moisture content is the traditional weight method, namely the drying method, that is, the sludge moisture content is calculated by measuring the mass before and after drying, and the detection accuracy is high. However, there are also many defects. The drying method detection requires nearly 24 hours of drying time, which is time-consuming, and uses more instruments and is complicated to operate. It is difficult to achieve online automatic rapid detection of sludge moisture content. Therefore, there is an urgent need on the market for a sludge moisture content measurement device and a detection method that has a fast detection speed, high accuracy and can realize online detection.
[0003] The existing method uses microwave signals to indirectly measure moisture content, and uses the relationship between microwave signals and the dielectric constant of the sample to convert the moisture content of the sample. This method is more stringent for sample preparation, and the equipment for measuring the dielectric constant of the sample is expensive. In addition, the sludge morphology must be relatively regular, but due to the complex and changeable nature of the sludge, during the drying process, the sludge morphology will slowly change from a soft and smooth muddy surface to a hard and uneven curved surface, and the moisture content of the upper and lower surfaces and the middle part are different. When we take the sludge block, it is difficult to ensure that the overall moisture content of the sludge sample is detected, which will greatly affect the detection accuracy. Therefore, the sludge moisture content detection device designed by the present invention is designed with a crushing and screening device to crush the sludge before the sludge is sent to the opening end of the resonant cavity, and by considering the influence of the sludge thickness on the moisture content detection result, the sludge thickness is controlled at 10mm, the detection accuracy is improved, and the automatic detection of the sludge moisture content is realized. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a sludge moisture content detection device and detection method, which uses a microwave method in conjunction with a detection device to perform rapid, real-time, accurate, and fully automated moisture content detection on the sludge, thereby solving the problems of complex, time-consuming, and low degree of automation in the sludge moisture content detection process on the market.
[0005] A sludge moisture content detection device proposed according to the purpose of the present invention includes a cavity, a feeding component, a rotating conveying component, a detection component, and a cleaning component, and is characterized in that: the cavity includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber, the feeding component is installed directly above the first chamber, and the first chamber is also equipped with a rotating conveying component. The feeding component crushes and screens the sludge to be detected, and the screened and refined sludge is transported to the detection component through the rotating conveying component for moisture content detection. The moisture content detection component is installed in the first chamber and forms an angle of ninety degrees with the installation position of the feeding component on the plane. The sludge after detection is transported to the cleaning component through the rotating conveying component for sludge cleaning.
[0006] Furthermore, the detection component includes an open coaxial resonant cavity, a signal transceiver, and a transceiver bracket. The open coaxial resonant cavity is installed inside the first cavity. The open coaxial resonant cavity transmits signals to the signal transceiver through a coaxial line. The signal generating device is installed on the transceiver bracket in the second cavity. The open coaxial resonant cavity uses a microwave method to detect the moisture content of the sludge.
[0007] Furthermore, the open coaxial resonant cavity comprises an inner conductor, an input probe and an output probe, a wiring port, a coaxial line, and a resonant cavity body. The inner conductor is arranged at the center of the open coaxial resonant cavity, the input probe and the output probe are symmetrically arranged on the inner side wall of the resonant cavity, the wiring port is arranged on the outer side wall of the open coaxial resonant cavity, concentric with the input probe and the output probe, the inner wall of the resonant cavity is silver-plated, the resonant cavity uses an industrial microwave source of 2.4 GHz, and after optimization, the resonant cavity body is 30 mm high and the cavity radius is 16 mm. The inner conductor material is iron, the inner conductor radius is 4 mm and the height is 23.6 mm, the input probe and the output probe have a radius of 0.65 mm, and the input probe and the output probe are arranged at a height of 18.8 mm of the resonant cavity. Due to the reciprocity, the input and output of the two ports can be interchanged.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotating conveying assembly includes a rotating table, a mud-carrying plate, a gear shaft, a reducer, and a conveying motor. The rotating table is provided with four positioning detection cavities of the same size and structure that are evenly distributed on the circumference. The mud-carrying plate is installed in the positioning detection cavity. The rotating table is connected to the gear shaft, and the gear shaft is connected to the conveying motor through the reducer. The rotating conveying assembly is driven by the conveying motor.
[0009] Furthermore, four positioning grooves are evenly arranged on the circumference of the positioning detection cavity, the mud-carrying plate is fixed in the positioning detection cavity through the positioning grooves, the bottom of the mud-carrying plate is fitted with the open end of the open coaxial resonant cavity, and the detection area of the open coaxial resonant cavity is included in the internal cavity area of the positioning detection cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the feed assembly includes a feed pipe, a sludge crusher, a screening device, and a first push rod motor. The feed pipe transports the sludge into the sludge crusher for crushing. A filter screen is arranged inside the screening device, and the filter screen is installed at an inclination of 10°. A residual material channel is arranged on the cavity wall of the screening device, and the residual material channel is arranged at the lowest inclination end of the filter screen. The screening device is connected to the lower end of the sludge crusher to further screen and homogenize the crushed sludge. A micro vibrator is installed at the lower end of the screening device, and the large particles and uneven sludge remaining on the filter screen are discharged through the residual material channel.
[0011] Furthermore, the first push rod motor is concentric with the screening device, and a first identification camera is installed at the bottom of the screening device. When the first identification camera recognizes that the center of the mud-carrying plate installed on the rotating table reaches the center of the screening device, the driving motor stops working, and the first push rod motor starts to push the mud-carrying plate to the discharge end of the screening device. The discharge end of the screening device is provided with 4 circumferentially evenly distributed positioning slots, and a first pressure sensor is provided in the positioning slot. After the first pressure sensor detects that the mud-carrying plate is in place, the feeding assembly starts to work to feed mud and prepare samples, and the thickness of the screened and refined sludge is set to 10 mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the material cleaning component includes a second identification camera, a second push rod motor, a material cleaning platform, a waste channel, a first high-speed jet valve, a second high-speed jet valve, a third high-speed jet valve, and a waste collection device. The material cleaning platform is provided with a mud cleaning positioning hole, and the mud cleaning positioning hole is concentric with the second push rod motor. When the second identification camera detects that the center of the mud carrying plate on the rotating platform reaches the center of the push rod of the second push rod motor and there is sludge on the mud carrying plate, the drive motor stops rotating, and the second push rod motor starts to push the mud carrying plate to the mud cleaning positioning hole.

[0014] Step 1: The feeding component crushes and screens the sludge to be tested, and the rotating conveying device transports the screened and refined sludge to the open coaxial resonant cavity detection area of the detection component;
[0015] Step 2: The signal transceiver device is connected to the input probe connection port on the side wall of the open coaxial resonant cavity through the input coaxial line to couple the electromagnetic wave energy to the open coaxial resonant cavity through the input probe. The moisture in the sludge will consume the electromagnetic wave energy to form a frequency shift. The output probe at the other port couples the energy to the signal transceiver device through the coaxial line.
[0016] Step 3: The signal transceiver collects the received resonant frequency and return loss to the computer in real time through the data acquisition card, and writes the relationship between the sludge moisture content and the resonant frequency into the calculation and display module of the virtual instrument LABVIEW in the designed computer. In this way, each time the no-load resonant frequency and the loaded resonant frequency are detected, the sludge moisture content value can be directly obtained and displayed.
[0017] Furthermore, the sludge moisture content detection method and the sludge moisture content calculation process are as follows:
[0018] (1) Measure the no-load resonant frequency and return loss value;

[0021] (4) The water content prediction model is written into the data processing module in LABVIEW. The next time the measurement is performed, the water content value can be directly displayed by collecting the loaded resonant frequency;
[0022] The moisture content measurement model is:
[0023] Moisture content = -0.021798×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)^3+1.097072×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)^2-13.370193×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)+51.15381. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] As a method for measuring the moisture content of sludge, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the detection steps are:
[0043] Step 1: The feeding component 2 crushes and screens the sludge to be tested, and the rotating conveying device 3 transports the screened and refined sludge to the detection area of the open coaxial resonant cavity 41 of the detection component;
[0044] Step 2: The signal transceiver 42 is connected to the input probe 412 connection port on the side wall of the open coaxial resonant cavity 41 through the coaxial line 415 to input the electromagnetic wave signal into the open coaxial resonant cavity 41 through the input probe 412. The water in the sludge will consume the electromagnetic wave energy to form a frequency shift. The other port output 413 probe couples the energy to the signal transceiver 42 through the coaxial line 415.
[0045] Step 3: The signal transceiver 42 collects the received resonant frequency and echo loss to the computer in real time through the data acquisition card, and writes the relationship between the sludge moisture content and the resonant frequency into the calculation and display module of the virtual instrument LABVIEW in the designed computer. In this way, each time the no-load resonant frequency and the loaded resonant frequency are detected, the sludge moisture content value can be directly obtained and displayed.
[0046] As an implementation method, the sludge moisture content detection method has the following calculation process for the sludge moisture content:
[0047] (1) Measure the no-load resonant frequency and return loss value;
[0048] (2) The crushed sludge is transferred to the open end of the open coaxial resonant cavity 41 through the rotating conveying device 3, and the corresponding resonant frequency and return loss value under different sludge moisture contents are measured;
[0049] (3) The moisture content value calculated by the drying method and the resonance frequency offset are linearly regressed to obtain a prediction model for the sludge moisture content;
[0050] (4) The water content prediction model is written into the data processing module in LABVIEW. The next time the measurement is performed, the water content value can be directly displayed by collecting the loaded resonant frequency;
[0051] The moisture content measurement model is:
[0052] Moisture content = -0.021798×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)^3+1.097072×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)^2-13.370193×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)+51.15381.
[0053] The entire working process of the sludge moisture content detection device is as follows: the device is started, the rotating conveying component is positioned at the center, the driving motor is started to drive the rotating table to rotate, the first recognition camera identifies the center of the positioning detection cavity, when the center of the positioning detection cavity reaches the center position of the first push rod motor push rod, the driving motor stops, the first push rod motor starts to push the mud-carrying plate to cooperate with the screening device, and the first pressure sensor in the positioning slot at the bottom of the screening device cavity detects that the mud-carrying plate has reached the specified position, the first push rod motor stops, the feeding component starts feeding, and the sludge crusher on it feeds the mud. The sludge coming in from the pipeline is crushed, and the screening device further screens the crushed sludge. The evenly refined sludge obtained by screening falls on the mud-carrying plate. The micro vibrator at the bottom of the screening cavity of the screening device vibrates at the bottom of the screening cavity, so that the sludge on the mud-carrying plate is evenly spread on the mud-carrying plate. When the height sensor set inside the screening device detects that the sludge thickness on the mud-carrying plate accumulates to 10mm, the feeding component stops working, the first push rod motor starts to carry the mud-carrying plate back to the positioning detection cavity, and the drive motor starts to drive the rotating table to rotate clockwise. When the first identification When the camera recognizes again that the center of the next positioning detection cavity reaches the center of the first push rod motor push rod, the drive motor stops, and the open coaxial resonant cavity detects the moisture content of the sludge that reaches the detection area. While detecting, the feeding component repeats the above steps to feed. After the feeding is completed, the drive motor starts to transfer the sludge that has completed the first detection to the working area of the cleaning component. When the second recognition camera detects that the center position of the positioning detection cavity reaches the center position of the second push rod motor push rod, the drive motor stops and the second push rod motor starts to push the sludge carrying plate carrying the sludge to the sludge cleaning positioning of the cleaning table. Hole, after the second pressure sensor in the fixed slot of the mud cleaning positioning hole detects that the mud carrying plate is in place, the second push rod clicks to stop, and the first high-speed jet valve, the second high-speed jet valve, and the third high-speed jet valve are started to clean the sludge on the mud carrying plate into the material dropping channel. After the mud cleaning is completed, the second push rod motor carries the mud carrying plate back to the positioning detection chamber, and the feeding in the feeding area and the detection in the detection area are carried out simultaneously. Three of the four positioning detection chambers perform feeding, detection and mud cleaning at the same time, and one is located between the feeding working area and the mud cleaning working area to prepare for the subsequent detection process.

A residual material sliding pipe connected to the residual material channel is installed above the waste channel, and the screening device screens the remaining large-particle uneven sludge through the residual material sliding pipe into the waste channel and the waste collection device.
2. The sludge moisture content detection device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The open coaxial resonant cavity transmits signals to the signal transceiver through a coaxial line. The signal generating device is installed on the transceiver bracket in the second chamber. The open coaxial resonant cavity uses a microwave method to detect the moisture content of the sludge.
3. A method for detecting sludge moisture content based on the sludge moisture content detection device according to any one of claims 1 to 2, characterized in that: The detection steps include the following: Step 1: The feeding component crushes and screens the sludge to be tested, and the rotating conveying component transports the screened and refined sludge to the open coaxial resonant cavity detection area of the detection component; Step 2: The signal transceiver device is connected to the input probe connection port on the side wall of the open coaxial resonant cavity through the input coaxial line to couple the electromagnetic wave energy to the open coaxial resonant cavity through the output probe at the port. The moisture in the sludge will consume the electromagnetic wave energy to form a frequency shift. The output probe at the other port couples the energy to the signal transceiver device through the coaxial line. Step 3: The signal transceiver collects the received resonant frequency and return loss to the computer in real time through the data acquisition card, and writes the relationship between the sludge moisture content and the resonant frequency into the calculation and display module of the virtual instrument LABVIEW in the designed computer. In this way, each time the no-load resonant frequency and the loaded resonant frequency are detected, the sludge moisture content value can be directly obtained and displayed.
4. According to the sludge moisture content detection method of claim 3, the sludge moisture content calculation process is as follows: (1) Measure the no-load resonant frequency and return loss value; (2) The crushed sludge is transferred to the open end of the open coaxial resonant cavity through the rotating conveying assembly, and the corresponding resonant frequency and return loss value under different sludge moisture contents are measured; (3) The moisture content value calculated by the drying method and the resonance frequency offset are linearly regressed to obtain a prediction model for the sludge moisture content; (4) The water content prediction model is written into the data processing module in LABVIEW. The next time the measurement is performed, the water content value can be directly displayed by collecting the loaded resonant frequency; The moisture content measurement model is: Moisture content = -0.021798×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)^3+1.097072×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)^2-13.370193×(unloaded resonant frequency - loaded resonant frequency)+51.15381.
