[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0032] For examples, please refer to the attached Figure 1-3 A weighing coal feeder metering device includes a coal feeder, a weighing conveyor, a forklift, a feeding belt 1, a supporting roller 2, a weighing calibration block 3, a weighing roller 4, a speed sensor 5, an electric push rod 6, a driving motor 7, and a weighing controller 8. The upper shell of the coal feeder is provided with a feed hopper, the feeding belt 1 is arranged inside the coal feeder, the weighing calibration block 3 is mounted on the weighing roller 4, the electric push rod 6 is installed on the forklift, the electric push rod 6 is driven by the driving motor 7, one end of the weighing calibration block 3 is connected to the forklift equipped with a movable electric push rod 6, the weighing roller 4 is provided with a weighing sensor, and the weighing sensor and speed sensor 5 in the weighing roller 4 and the driving motor 7 are all electrically connected to the weighing controller 8.

[0033] Furthermore, the weighing controller 8 is a programmable controller, comprising a data acquisition module, a display module and a programmable module;

[0034] The data acquisition module collects and transmits data to the display module in real time. The data acquisition module collects data and automatically calculates the actual correction coefficient through the programmable module. When the relative error between any two calibration experiments is ≤0.2%, the weighing controller 8 stops the calibration and prompts that the coal feeder has passed the calibration.

[0035] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 , the weighing controller 8 can perform static precise weight calibration and dynamic precise weight calibration;

[0036] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the device for weighing and calibrating the object is controlled by an electric weighing and calibrating object forklift, and the device for weighing and calibrating the object is an electric single-wheel weighing or an electric double-wheel weighing, which is convenient for removing the weighing and calibrating block 3 from the housing of the feeder.

[0037] Further, the calibration method used by any of the above-mentioned weighing coal feeder metering devices is:

[0038] When the coal feeder stops running, static weight calibration is performed on the weighing system composed of the weighing calibration block 3, the weighing roller 4 and the electric push rod 6: first, the weighing controller 8 is zeroed, and then the weighing calibration block 3 of known weight is placed on the feeding belt 1 through the electric push rod 6, and the weighing controller 8 performs static weight calibration through the weighing sensor in the weighing roller 4;

[0039] In this embodiment, the specific implementation operation is as follows: Zero point calibration is the basic step in the calibration of the weighing coal feeder, which aims to ensure that the weighing system can read accurately when no material passes. During the calibration process, it is first necessary to confirm that the coal on the feeding belt 1 has been cleared, and the control instruction for the weighing coal feeder is set to 100%, and the belt speed is set to 0.64m / s; then, the zero point calibration process is started by clicking the RUN button on the controller panel. This process includes automatic zeroing and manual input of the zero point value to ensure that when zero material passes, the reading is stable at around 0t / h, and the fluctuation range is within ±1t / h. The weighing calibration block 3 hanging weight calibration is carried out by hanging weights of known weight on the coal feeder. Two weights are hung on one side for calibration. Enter the range adjustment screen through the MENU button on the panel, select the appropriate interval calibration, and then perform automatic calibration. After the calibration is completed, observe that the instantaneous coal volume on the belt should be around a specific value, such as around 103t / h. After removing one weight, the instantaneous coal volume should drop to around 57t / h. After removing all weights, it should return to 0t / h, and the instantaneous volume fluctuation at each point should not exceed 1t / h.

[0040] Dynamic weight calibration is performed during the normal operation of the coal feeder. The weighing system consisting of the weighing calibration block 3, weighing roller 4, speed sensor 5, electric push rod 6, drive motor 7 and weighing controller 8 is used to dynamically weigh the heavier material online: first, the speed sensor 5 feeds back to the weighing controller 8 to record the running speed in real time. The weighing controller 8 gives the specifications and quantity of the required weighing calibration block 3 according to the quality of the coal in the effective weighing section, combined with the belt length, width, length of the effective weighing section and the running speed of the belt of the feeding belt 1, and completes the zero point calibration and range calibration of the feeding belt 1 according to the conventional calibration method; the weighing controller 8 controls the electric push rod 6 through the drive motor 7 according to the obtained specifications and quantity of the weighing calibration block 3. The rods 6 are placed uniformly on the feeding belt 1 in sequence, and are passed through the effective weighing section in sequence, and the weighing controller 8 records the actual cumulative mass measured; the weighing controller 8 calculates the actual correction coefficient K1 according to the formula "actual correction coefficient = calibrated standard mass × original correction coefficient / actual cumulative mass" according to the programmed program, wherein the calibrated standard mass is the total mass of all weighing calibration blocks, and the initial value of the original correction coefficient is 1; the above steps are repeated three or more times to obtain the ranges K2, K3, K4, etc. in sequence, so that the relative error between the actual cumulative mass and the calibrated standard mass is ≤1%; when the relative error between any two calibration experiments is ≤0.2%, the weighing controller 8 stops the calibration and prompts that the coal feeder has passed the calibration;

[0041] In this embodiment, the specific implementation operation is: if the length of the feeding belt 1 is 6m, the length of the effective weighing section is 0.5m, and the mass of the coal in the effective weighing section is 65kg, the required weight specifications can be determined according to the effective mass per unit length. The effective mass per unit length of the coal mill is: 65kg÷0.5m=130kg / m; the standard weight size is selected as: 153mm long, 113mm wide, 135mm high, the standard weight is 10kg, and the accuracy error is 0.5g; verify whether it meets the above results: Therefore, two weighing calibration blocks 3 are placed side by side through the electric push rod 6, and the mass of the effective weighing section of the feeding belt 1 is 65.4 kg, which is basically consistent with the mass of the coal passing through the effective weighing section; the number of standard weights of the weighing calibration blocks 3 required can be calculated according to the length of the feeding belt 1, that is, = 78 standard weights. According to the conventional calibration method, the zero point calibration and range calibration of the feeding belt 1 are completed; the weighing controller 8 controls the electric push rod 6 to be placed on the feeding belt 1 in sequence and uniformly through the driving motor 7 according to the obtained specifications and quantity of the weighing calibration block 3, and makes it pass through the effective weighing section in sequence, and the weighing controller 8 records the measured actual cumulative mass; the weighing controller 8 calculates the actual correction coefficient K1 according to the formula "actual correction coefficient = calibration standard mass × original correction coefficient / actual cumulative mass" according to the programmed program, and the relative error is: actual cumulative mass - standard weighing calibration block weight mass / actual cumulative mass, such as, for the first time: the actual cumulative mass is 780.5kg, the standard weighing calibration block 3 weight is 780kg, the actual correction coefficient is 1, the difference is 0.5kg, and the relative error is 0.5kg÷780.5kg=0.06%. Continue to repeat the above steps three times or more to obtain the ranges K2, K3, K4... in turn, so that the relative error between the actual cumulative mass and the calibrated standard mass is ≤1%; when the relative error between any two calibration experiments is ≤0.2%, the weighing controller 8 stops the calibration and prompts that the coal feeder calibration is qualified.

[0042] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as such non-substantial improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
