Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical abrasive jet, in particular to an abrasive concentration automatic adjusting system and adjusting method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Abrasive water jet is a kind of highly energy-concentrated high-speed jet formed by liquid-solid two-phase fluid of abrasive particles and water accelerated through a nozzle. The abrasive water jet was first studied in the United States, mainly applied in oil drilling. Large-scale research and practical application of the technology began in the late 1970s, and rapidly developed in the 1980s. Abrasive water jet has the advantages of high cutting precision, no heating, environmental protection and dust-free, and has been widely used in metallurgy, machinery, petroleum, coal, aviation, construction and light industry fields, mainly for cutting, crushing and cleaning operations. According to the different mixing methods, the abrasive water jet can be divided into front-mixed abrasive water jet and rear-mixed abrasive water jet. The rear-mixed abrasive water jet has low energy transmission efficiency of water to abrasive because the abrasive cannot be fully turbulent mixed with high-speed water flow. In order to improve the energy transmission efficiency and improve the abrasive acceleration effect, the front-mixed abrasive water jet technology is developed. This technology fully mixes with water under low pressure and then enters the high-speed water flow, thereby greatly improving the energy transmission efficiency. However, due to the abrasive mixing and acceleration process being carried out in a closed and pressurized environment, it is difficult to accurately adjust and control the mass flow of abrasive during operation, which has seriously affected the development of front-mixed abrasive water jet technology.

[0003] At present, in the research on the control of abrasive mass flow of abrasive water jet, the methods of controlling the rotation speed of screw push or manually controlling the opening degree of abrasive tank valve are often used to control the abrasive supply speed. The screw push technology has problems such as abrasive sedimentation and screw jamming in abrasive water jet. Manual control of abrasive tank valve opening degree can only change the size of abrasive supply speed, but cannot accurately control the abrasive mass concentration, and the valve core wears quickly.

[0073]

[0074] Calculate the current error a1, if the current error a1 is less than the error threshold a, end the calibration; if the current error a1 is greater than the error threshold a, assign the regulated abrasive particle mass concentration C2 to C0, and then repeat the action of the fifth step until the current error a1 is less than or equal to the error threshold a, then end the calibration and maintain the opening degree of the servo proportional throttle valve 8 unchanged until the end of the current operation.

[0075] Through the adjusting system of the application, the user can directly input the required concentration, and the system will automatically monitor the current concentration and compare it with the target concentration, and make real-time correction.

[0076] Because the volume of the abrasive tank is fixed, but the density of abrasive and water is different, the application designs a new method to measure and calculate the concentration of medium, which can reduce the investment of equipment by using the original equipment. First, use the mass monitor to monitor the mass change, and then use the density difference of the mixed medium solution to calculate the concentration of the medium.

[0077] S2, the real-time working condition parameters, abrasive related information and servo proportional throttle valve 8 opening calibration during the abrasive water jet operation are stored in the data processing center 29, so as to view and analyze the data after the abrasive water jet operation, and to directly call the subsequent abrasive water jet operation.

[0078] S3, the abrasive concentration automatic adjustment system is cleaned for next use.

[0079] Specifically, the seventh step is to clean the abrasive: close the plunger pump 1 and the third electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 6, open the first electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 3, the second electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 4, the fourth electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 9, the fifth electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 24, the sixth electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 26, the seventh electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 32 and the servo proportional throttle valve 8. Adjust the plunger pump 1 to low pressure output, and the low pressure water enters from the high pressure water inlet 27, passes through the plunger pump 1 and the electronic flowmeter 2 in turn, and is divided into two ways through the main pipeline 15: the low pressure water of the first pipeline 17 passes through the second electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 4, the jet pump 5 and the fourth electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 9 into the abrasive tank 11; the second pipeline 16 is divided into two branch pipelines through the first electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 3, the low pressure water of the first branch pipeline 33 passes through the servo proportional throttle valve 8 into the abrasive tank 11, and the water in the abrasive tank 11 passes through the fourth pipeline 25, the fifth electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 24 and the mixing chamber 14 into the fifth pipeline 21, and finally is discharged from the nozzle assembly 19, the low pressure water of the second branch pipeline 34 passes through the seventh electrically controlled pneumatic high pressure ball valve 32 and the mixing chamber 14 into the fifth pipeline 21, and finally is discharged from the nozzle assembly 19. When the mass parameter output by the precision mass monitor is stable and unchanged for 1 minute, it indicates that the abrasive cleaning is completed, the plunger pump 1 can be closed, and finally the water is emptied for next use.
