The output end of the electric heating control module 2 is electrically connected to the input end of the electric heating wire, the electric heating net and the electric heating coil.
[0020] Preferably, the control method of the device for measuring the moisture content of ore powder comprises the following steps:
[0021] Step 1: Remove the heating tube from the measuring device body, pour in the ore powder to be tested, and then re-place the heating tube into the positioning groove of the measuring device body. After it is placed in, the conductive sheet in the positioning groove is connected to the power circuit board under the transmission chamber at the bottom of the heating tube to realize the power supply of the entire device;
[0022] Step 2: During the detection, the weighing sensor first weighs the weight of the material in the current container, and then feeds the data back to the embedded single-chip microcomputer. After receiving the data, the embedded single-chip microcomputer sends signals to the electromagnet and the laser distance sensor respectively. The electromagnet adsorbs and fixes the transmission chamber at the bottom of the heating cylinder, while the laser distance sensor in the center of the through-hole active silicone disc can detect the distance between the through-hole active silicone disc and the material, and feeds the information back to the embedded single-chip microcomputer;
[0023] Step 3: After the embedded single-chip microcomputer receives the signal sent by the laser ranging sensor, it transmits data with the power circuit board to drive the first motor drive module, the second motor drive module, the electric heating control module 1 and the electric heating control module 2 to operate. Among them, the first motor drive module drives the electric push rod to operate according to the ranging information just received, so that the moisture collection mechanism moves down to the position above the material, while the electric heating control module 1 and the electric heating control module 2 drive the electric heating ring, the electric heating coil, the electric heating wire and the electric heating network to operate. The electric heating network is evenly spaced in the insulation layer of the heating cylinder. The number of open groups is determined according to the material height determined by the ranging information to reduce energy consumption. While the electric heating ring, the electric heating coil and the electric heating network are heating the material in a covering manner, the second motor drive module drives the asynchronous motor to operate, and the belt drive mechanism is used to drive the stirring shaft to rotate. The heat-conducting stirring blades make the material float up and down, making the heating process more thorough. The moisture inside the heated gas is quickly absorbed by the through-hole active silica gel disk in the moisture collection mechanism on the upper layer of the material to avoid condensation in contact with cold air, and the dry gas continues to be discharged upward along the through-hole;
[0024] Step 4: After heating for three minutes, the timing module sends a signal to the embedded single-chip microcomputer to drive the weighing sensor to weigh again. If there is no obvious change in the weighing information this time, it means that there is a fault in the device heating system. At this time, the embedded single-chip microcomputer will send a signal to the alarm module to remind personnel to inspect. If the weighing sensor changes, the weight is recorded and the weighing measurement is maintained. After the weight no longer changes, the electric push rod contracts and drives the moisture collection mechanism to withdraw from the heating cylinder. After withdrawal, the electromagnet stops adsorption. The weighing sensor measures again and transmits the data to the embedded single-chip microcomputer. The embedded single-chip microcomputer calculates the change in material weight and finally displays the calculated moisture content on the display.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. The present invention provides a moisture collection mechanism driven by an electric push rod at the top of the device, and a laser distance sensor is installed in the moisture collection mechanism. Before heating, the laser distance sensor can measure the distance between the through-hole active silica gel disk and the material, thereby controlling the downward movement distance of the electric push rod, so that the moisture collection mechanism can be located just above the material, reducing the heating space inside the heating cylinder and improving the subsequent heating efficiency. During heating, the through-hole active silica gel disk inside the moisture collection mechanism can efficiently absorb moisture in the gas, preventing it from re-condensing into dew when it is cooled and flowing back into the device, affecting the measurement efficiency. The dry gas can be discharged along the through-hole without causing the internal pressure of the device to increase. The outermost flexible rubber layer makes the connection between the moisture collection mechanism and the inner wall of the heating cylinder tighter, preventing water vapor from escaping from the edge, and at the same time improving the heating efficiency of the electric heating ring below the through-hole active silica gel disk. This solves the problem that in the existing device, the hot gas generated by evaporation will re-condense and flow back into the device when it contacts the upper cold wall surface or cold air during use, resulting in prolonged heating time and affecting measurement efficiency.
[0027] 2. By setting four compartments equidistantly from bottom to top in the heating cylinder, each compartment is equipped with an independently openable electric heating network. Depending on the measurement height of the laser sensor, the appropriate number of electric heating networks can be selected to start, ensuring heating efficiency while reducing energy consumption. Combined with the electric heating coil at the bottom of the device, the electric heating ring under the top moisture collection mechanism, and the electric heating wire in the stirring shaft, the device can be fully heated from the inside to the outside, significantly improving the efficiency of water evaporation. At the same time, while the moisture collection mechanism is absorbing moisture, the electric heating ring can simultaneously heat it, so that the water vapor absorbed inside it continues to evaporate and discharge upward to avoid saturation, allowing the moisture meter to be used continuously and uninterruptedly.

[0050] See also Figure 1-6 A method for controlling a device for measuring the moisture content of ore powder comprises the following steps:
[0051] Step 1: Remove the heating tube 7 from the measuring device body 2, pour the ore powder to be tested, and then re-place the heating tube 7 in the positioning groove 29 of the measuring device body 2. After placement, the conductive sheet 30 in the positioning groove 29 is connected to the power supply circuit board 25 below the transmission chamber 4 at the bottom of the heating tube 7, realizing power supply for the entire device;
[0052] Step 2: During the detection, the weighing sensor 32 first weighs the weight of the material in the current container. After completion, the data is fed back to the embedded single-chip microcomputer 43. After receiving the data, the embedded single-chip microcomputer 43 sends signals to the electromagnet 31 and the laser distance sensor 40 respectively. The electromagnet 31 adsorbs and fixes the transmission chamber 4 at the bottom of the heating cylinder 7, while the laser distance sensor 40 at the center of the through-hole active silicone disk 123 can detect the distance between the through-hole active silicone disk 123 and the material, and feeds the information back to the embedded single-chip microcomputer 43;
[0053] Step 3: After the embedded single chip microcomputer 43 receives the signal sent by the laser ranging sensor 40, it transmits data with the power circuit board 25 to drive the first motor driving module 35, the second motor driving module 37, the electric heating control module 1 36 and the electric heating control module 2 38 to operate.

Four groups of nets 18 are equidistantly arranged in the interlayer of the heating cylinder 7.

The moisture inside the heated gas is quickly absorbed by the through-hole active silica gel disk 123 in the moisture collection mechanism 12 on the upper layer of the material to avoid condensation in contact with cold air, while the dry gas continues to be discharged upward along the through-hole;
[0054] Step 4: After heating for three minutes, the timing module 34 sends a signal to the embedded single-chip microcomputer 43 to drive the weighing sensor 32 to weigh again. If there is no obvious change in the weighing information this time, it means that there is a fault in the heating system of the device. At this time, the embedded single-chip microcomputer 43 will send a signal to the alarm module 33 to remind personnel to inspect. If the weighing sensor 32 changes, the weight is recorded and the weighing measurement is maintained. After the weight no longer changes, the electric push rod 16 contracts and drives the moisture collection mechanism 12 to withdraw from the heating tube 7. After withdrawal, the electromagnet 31 stops adsorption, and the weighing sensor 32 measures again and transmits the data to the embedded single-chip microcomputer 43.

The control method of the device for measuring the moisture content of ore powder according to claim 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: Remove the heating tube (7) from the measuring device body (2), pour the ore powder to be tested, and then re-place the heating tube (7) in the positioning groove (29) of the measuring device body (2). After placement, the conductive sheet (30) in the positioning groove (29) is connected to the power circuit board (25) below the transmission chamber (4) at the bottom of the heating tube (7), thereby realizing power supply to the entire device; Step 2: During the detection, the weight of the material in the current container is first weighed by the weighing sensor (32), and the data is fed back to the embedded single-chip microcomputer (43). After receiving the data, the embedded single-chip microcomputer (43) sends signals to the electromagnet (31) and the laser distance sensor (40), respectively. The electromagnet (31) adsorbs and fixes the transmission chamber (4) at the bottom of the heating cylinder (7), and the laser distance sensor (40) at the center of the through-hole active silica gel disk (123) can detect the distance between the through-hole active silica gel disk (123) and the material, and feeds the information back to the embedded single-chip microcomputer (43); Step 3: After the embedded single chip microcomputer (43) receives the signal sent by the laser ranging sensor (40), it transmits data with the power circuit board (25) to drive the first motor driving module (35), the second motor driving module (37), the electric heating control module 1 (36) and the electric heating control module 2 (38) to operate, wherein the first motor driving module (35) drives the electric push rod (16) to operate according to the ranging information just received, so that the moisture collection mechanism (12) moves down to the position above the material, while the electric heating control module 1 (36) and the electric heating control module 2 (38) drive the electric heating ring (124), the electric heating coil (28), the electric heating wire (39) and the electric heating network (18) to operate , four groups of electric heating nets (18) are equidistantly arranged in the interlayer of the heating cylinder (7), and the number of openings is determined according to the material height determined by the distance measurement information to reduce energy consumption.

If there is no obvious change in the weighing information this time, it means that there is a fault in the device heating system. At this time, the embedded single-chip microcomputer (43) will send a signal to the alarm module (33) to remind personnel to inspect. If the weighing sensor (32) changes, the weight is recorded and the weighing measurement is maintained. After the weight no longer changes, the electric push rod (16) contracts and drives the moisture collection mechanism (12) to withdraw from the heating cylinder (7). After withdrawal, the electromagnet (31) stops adsorption. The weighing sensor (32) measures again and transmits the data to the embedded single-chip microcomputer (43). The embedded single-chip microcomputer (43) calculates the change in the weight of the material and finally displays the calculated moisture content result on the display screen (3).
