Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dust safety risk monitoring and control technology, and relates to dust concentration and temperature detection technology in dust conveying pipelines. Specifically, it relates to a multi-source fusion wide-range high-precision integrated detection device and method for pipeline dust concentration and temperature. Background Technology
[0002] High concentrations of dust can explode under certain conditions, posing a significant explosion hazard in production, processing, transportation, and storage processes. Metal dust explosions have occurred frequently in recent years. Currently, the field of dust explosion hazards reveals many key problems, such as inaccurate monitoring, untimely early warning, and insufficient targeting of explosion-proof technologies. In response to the requirements of the new situation, it is urgent to conduct research on metal dust safety risk monitoring and control technologies.
[0003] Foreign countries began researching dust concentration detection technologies for pipelines in power plants and steel mills earlier, developing related dust monitoring technologies and products, which have been applied to areas such as plant flue gas emissions, power plant dust concentration control, and dust collector leak monitoring. However, according to explosion-proof regulations, these products are not suitable for typical industrial metal dust explosion-prone areas. Domestically, China Coal Technology & Engineering Group Chongqing Research Institute Co., Ltd. has been researching dust monitoring methods for explosive environments such as metal polishing and grinding sites since the 13th Five-Year Plan period, developing sensor detection technologies for both airborne and deposited dust, achieving an airborne dust concentration of 1000 mg / m³. 3 The error is 15%. Wuhan University of Technology conducted laboratory research on measuring high-concentration dust using fiber optic gratings, verifying the direct proportionality between extinction degree and dust concentration. Currently, the monitoring accuracy of large-range dust concentrations is low both domestically and internationally, making it difficult to support precise dust explosion prevention and control. For a range of 30000 mg / m³... 3 There is a lack of research on high-precision, intrinsically safe monitoring of ultra-high concentration industrial dust environments, as well as research on simultaneous monitoring of concentration and temperature and three-dimensional imaging technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-source fusion wide-range high-precision integrated detection device and method for pipeline dust concentration and temperature, so as to realize the simultaneous detection of dust concentration and temperature in dust conveying pipelines.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

The device includes a temperature detection unit (i.e., optical fiber 13), an electrostatic induction dust concentration detection unit (i.e., electrostatic induction electrode 2), a light absorption dust concentration detection unit (i.e., photodiode I 17), a light scattering dust concentration detection unit (i.e., photodiode II 4), a dust passage window 16, a laser emitter 14, a laser source and laser beam demodulator 12, and a signal processing and controller 11.
[0007] Temperature detection: The laser emitted from the signal processing and controller 11 is input into the dust passage window 16 through the laser source and laser beam demodulator 12. Temperature detection is achieved based on the Durag fiber optic thermometry method. The temperature measurement signal is reflected in the temperature detection unit (i.e., fiber optic 13) and input to the signal processing and controller 11 through the laser source and laser beam demodulator 12 to achieve temperature detection.
[0008] Dust concentration detection: Dust in the pipeline diffuses with the airflow; the dust concentration test range is 0-30 g / m³. 3 This enables accurate detection of dust over a wide range.
[0009] Electrostatic induction method: When dust diffuses through the detection device, the dust concentration is detected by electrostatic induction on the surface of the device. As dust passes near the electrostatic induction dust concentration detection unit (electrostatic induction electrode 2), a wave signal is induced on the unit (electrostatic induction electrode 2). The amplitude of the wave signal characterizes the dust concentration. This method is primarily used to test medium-concentration dust (1 g / m³). 3 -10g / m 3 ;
[0010] Optical absorption method: When dust passes through the dust passage window 16, the laser beam emitted by the laser emitter 14 illuminates the optical absorption dust concentration detection unit (photodiode I 17) through the dust passage window 16. The dust scatters and absorbs this beam. The surface of the optical absorption dust concentration detection unit (photodiode I 17) receives the signal after the dust particles absorb the laser. The test method is optical absorption, which is used to test high-concentration dust with a test range of 10 g / m³. 3 -30g / m 3 ;
[0011] Light scattering method: The dust concentration detection unit (photodiode II4) receives the scattered signal from dust particles. The testing method is light scattering, which is used to test low-concentration dust, with a testing range of 0-1000 mg / m³. 3 ;
[0012] By integrating electrostatic induction, optical absorption, and light scattering methods, the simultaneous detection and analysis of these three signals achieves a range of 0-30 g / m³. 3 Accurate detection of high concentrations of dust.
[0013] Preferably, the electrostatic induction dust concentration detection unit (electrostatic induction electrode 2), the light scattering dust concentration detection unit (photodiode II 4), and the light absorption dust concentration detection unit (photodiode I 17) are all connected to the signal processing and controller 11; the laser emitting head 14 is connected to the signal processing and controller 11 through the laser source and the laser beam demodulator 12.

[0015] Preferably, the dust is connected to an air compressor through window 16 to protect photodiode I17 and photodiode II4 from dust contamination, enabling the equipment to accurately detect dust concentration over long-term operation.
[0016] Preferably, the signal processing flow of the signal processing and controller 11 is as follows:
[0017] First, the parameters are initialized. Based on the Durlag fiber optic temperature measurement principle, the ambient temperature is detected by the offset of the reflected wave wavelength. Dust concentration detection integrates electrostatic induction, light absorption, and light scattering methods. The electrostatic induction dust concentration detection unit obtains the induced signal generated by dust, and the dust concentration is detected by analyzing the fluctuation intensity of the induced signal. Formula S1 is used to characterize the dust concentration by the fluctuation intensity of the induced signal, achieving accurate detection of medium-concentration dust, with a testing range of 1 g / m³-10 g / m³. Simultaneously, a laser is emitted, and the dust... When dust passes through a laser beam, it undergoes scattering and absorption. High-concentration dust is detected by analyzing the decrease in surface light intensity of the dust concentration detection unit using the light absorption method, and high-concentration dust is characterized using formula S2. Low-concentration dust is detected by analyzing the increase in surface light intensity of the dust concentration detection unit using the light scattering method, and low-concentration dust is characterized using formula S3. Finally, the electrostatic induction signal, light absorption signal, and light scattering signal are fused according to the fusion algorithm to automatically determine the boundaries of high, medium, and low dust concentrations, achieving accurate detection of dust concentration across the entire range.
