Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sampling equipment, and in particular to a sampling device and a quick-loading bulk material system. Background Art

[0002] Bulk material rapid loading systems are modern, efficient, and automated technologies for loading bulk materials onto vehicles or train cars quickly, accurately, and quantitatively. They play a vital role in modern industrial logistics and bulk material handling. With the continuous advancement of technology and growing market demand, the advantages of these systems are becoming increasingly prominent, and their application scope is also expanding.

[0003] The main components of a bulk material rapid loading system include silos, conveying equipment, loading equipment, control systems, and other auxiliary equipment. Silos are containers for temporary storage of bulk materials, typically located at the starting point of a conveying system. They can temporarily store large quantities of material and then supply the conveying system as needed. Conveying equipment, including various conveyors, transports bulk material from silos to loading and unloading points. Loading equipment includes feeders and various telescopic booms, loading and unloading chutes, and levelers, which are used to deposit the conveyed material into the appropriate location on the carriage.

[0004] The sampling process in bulk commodity transactions is not only a basic step in quality control, but also an important mechanism to ensure fair, transparent and efficient transactions. Through scientific sampling and testing processes, a reliable material basis can be provided for both parties to the transaction. For production units, systematic collection and analysis of sample data can help decision makers adjust buying and selling strategies, adjust prices, reduce risks, etc.

[0005] In the related art, samples are taken directly from the silo by purchasing and using special sampling equipment. The disadvantage is that it will destroy the integrity of the silo and the sampling is less representative.

[0006] Related technologies also utilize existing belt conveyor sampling equipment on the market to collect samples from the transfer belt conveyor. The disadvantage is that an additional sampling belt conveyor needs to be arranged, which increases the complexity of the system. It is not suitable for compact quick-installation systems or quick-installation systems without transfer conveyors, which increases the cost of sampling. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0051] The sampling device of an embodiment of the present invention includes: a material taking unit 1, a crushing unit 2, a sampling and returning unit 3 and a sample storage unit 4. The material taking unit 1 is arranged on the funnel 53 of the quick-loading bulk material system 5 for taking materials. The material taking unit 1 is connected to the crushing unit 2 to crush the material and then sort it. The sampling and returning unit 3 is connected to the crushing unit 2 to sample the sorted material. The sampling and returning unit 3 returns the sampled material to the quick-loading bulk material system 5. The sample storage unit 4 is suitable for receiving the sampled material from the sampling unit and storing the sampled material.

[0052] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the reclaiming unit 1 is arranged above the funnel 53. The reclaiming unit 1 extends into the funnel 53 to take materials. During the material loading process, samples are taken while loading. The sampled materials are highly representative. There is no need to stop loading to take samples separately, so that the goods are loaded and shipped out of the factory with high efficiency. The other end of the reclaiming unit 1 is connected to the crushing unit 2 to crush the materials. The crushing unit 2 can be an existing crusher.

[0053] For example, the crushing unit 2 can be equipped with different types of crushers according to the actual particle size requirements.

[0054] The sampling and returning unit 3 is connected to the crushing unit 2 to sample the sorted material. The sampling and returning unit 3 returns the sampled material to the fast-loading bulk material system 5. The sampled material is then transported by the sampling and returning unit 3 to the sample storage unit 4 for storage. For example, the sample for testing is stored in the sample storage bottle 43.

[0055] The sampling device of the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the material taking unit 1 on the funnel 53, facilitates sampling of the quick-loading bulk material system 5, thereby reducing the sampling cost. The material samples after sampling are sequentially sent to the crushing unit 2, the sample cutting and returning unit 3 and the sample storage unit 4, and the collected samples are directly packaged and stored, shortening the transportation processing route and reducing the impact of the transportation process on the quality. No manual sampling is required, and the labor cost is reduced. At the same time, during the process of loading the materials, the samples are taken while the vehicle is being loaded, and the sampled materials are highly representative. There is no need to stop the loading to take samples separately, thereby achieving efficient loading and delivery of goods. The sampling device is arranged on the funnel 53, and there is no need to invest in the construction of an independent sampling room, thereby reducing costs.

[0056] In some embodiments, the material taking unit 1 includes a frame 11, a lifting component 12, a sampling head 13 and a discharge component 14. The frame 11 is arranged above the funnel 53 of the quick-loading bulk material system 5. The frame 11 is provided with a lifting component 12, and the telescopic end of the lifting component 12 is connected to the sampling head 13 so that the sampling head 13 can be extended into or out of the funnel 53 for sampling. The frame 11 is provided with a sample outlet 111.

[0057] The unloading component 14 is provided on the frame 11 to push the material in the sampling head into the sample outlet 111 to unload the material. The sample outlet 111 of the frame 11 is connected to the crushing unit 2.

[0058] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the height direction of the frame 11 is the vertical direction, and the width direction of the frame 11 is the left-right direction. The frame 11 is provided with a lifting component 12. The lifting component 12 is extended and retracted in the vertical direction to move the sampling head 13 in the vertical direction, so that the sampling head 13 moves in the vertical direction, for example, the sampling head 13 moves downward to extend into the funnel 53 to sample the material. Alternatively, the sampling head 13 moves upward to extend out of the funnel 53. When the sampling head 13 is not moving, that is, when the lifting component 12 is no longer extended and retracted in the vertical direction and the sampling head 13 is fixed, the unloading component 14 pushes the material in the sampling head into the sampling outlet 111 to unload the material.

[0059] The sampling device of the embodiment of the present invention can randomly sample materials by setting a lifting component 12, a sampling head 13 and a unloading component 14, thereby avoiding the sampled materials from being concentrated in a certain area of ​​the silo 51, sampling the materials evenly, and improving the representativeness of the sampled materials. At the same time, there is no need to set up special sampling equipment and sampling buildings, which reduces costs and avoids the poor representativeness of the sampling equipment in the silo 51, which affects the monitoring of the quality of the loaded materials.

[0060] In some embodiments, the discharging component 14 includes a discharger 141 and a first telescopic component 142. The first telescopic component 142 is connected to the discharger 141 to move the discharger 141 in the width direction of the frame 11 to unload the material on the sampling head. The sampling head 13 is in the shape of a U with openings at the upper part and both ends, and the discharger 141 is in the shape of ┌ or 冂 with an opening at the lower end.

[0061] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 11 shown, the discharger 141 is in the shape of ┌ or 冂 with an opening at the lower end, and the sampling head 13 is in the shape of a U with openings at the upper part and both ends. Further, the discharger 141 cooperates with the sampling head 13 to perform sampling and sample discharging.

[0062] For example, when sampling, at this time, the sampling head 13 and the discharger 141 enclose a cuboid or cube shape. The sampling head 13 moves downward to extend into the funnel 53 to collect the material. After the collection is completed, the sampling head 13 moves upward. After rising, at this time, the sampling head 13 and the discharger 141 enclose a cuboid or cube shape. At this time, the discharger 141 moves to the right to push the material on the sampling head 13 to the sample outlet 111 to unload the material. Further, manual sampling and sampling are not required, reducing the labor intensity.

[0063] Further, the discharging component 14 further includes a guide rail 1433 provided on the frame 11. The telescopic end of the first telescopic component 142 is movably provided on the guide rail 1433. The guide rail 1433 extends in the left - right direction. The telescopic end of the first telescopic component 142 is movably provided on the guide rail 1433. The guide rail 1433 guides and limits the movement of the first telescopic component 142 in the left - right direction, ensuring that the trajectory of the discharger 141 in the left - right direction is straight and making the movement of the discharger 141 in the left - right direction smoother.

[0064] In some embodiments, the funnel 53 is provided with an opening for the sampling head 13 to extend into the funnel 53 for sampling.

[0065] The material taking unit 1 further includes air lock valves 15 and air springs 16 rotatably provided on both sides of the opening. The air spring 16 is pivotally connected to the air lock valve 15. The air spring 16 expands and contracts to rotate the air lock valve 15 to open or close the opening.

[0066] Among them, when sampling, the lifting component 12 extends to push the sampling head 13 to push open the air lock valve 15 and extend into the funnel 53.

[0067] For example, when the sampling head 13 moves downward, it will contact the air lock valve 15 and push it open. When the sampling head 13 moves upward to the in - place position after sampling, the air lock valve 15 is pushed back by the air spring 16 to close. To prevent external objects from entering through the opening above the funnel 53 and prevent the dust in the funnel 53 from overflowing, improving the stability and safety during sampling. <00001??>

[0068] Furthermore, the lifting component 12 includes a lifting member 121 and a lifting frame 122. The lower end of the lifting frame 122 is connected to the sampling head 13, and the upper end of the lifting frame 122 is connected to the lifting member 121. The lifting member 121 can be a lifting cylinder, that is, a hydraulic cylinder. During sampling, the lifting cylinder extends to drive the lifting frame 122 to descend. The sampling head 13 is connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 122. The sampling head 13 is the same width as the material flow, and the opening is greater than 3 times the nominal particle size of the material. The sampling head 13 is a "U"-shaped flat bottom structure with openings at the top and both ends to ensure that it can receive the entire cross-section of the material flow. When the sampling head 13 continues to descend until it is completely inserted into the material flow and the sampling head 13 is instantly filled, the lifting cylinder reverses and rises.

[0069] When the lifting frame 122 and the sampling head 13 are lowered, they will contact the air lock door 15 and push it open. When the lifting frame 122 and the sampling head 13 are raised to their proper positions after sampling, the air lock door 15 is pushed back and closed by the air spring 16.

[0070] Furthermore, the first telescopic component 142 includes a connecting frame 1421, a translation motor 1422, and a fixed rack 1423. The output end of the translation motor 1422 is provided with a gear, and the fixed rack 1423 is mounted on the frame 11. The rotation of the translation motor 1422 drives the gear, and through the engagement of the fixed rack 1423, the connecting frame 1421 is driven to move in the left and right directions. At this time, the translation motor 1422 also moves in the left and right directions. For example, the connecting frame 1421 is driven to move from the discharge end to the sampling end, that is, the connecting frame 1421 is driven to move from above the sample outlet 111 to above the opening of the funnel 53. The connecting frame 1421 is used to connect the discharger 141 and the translation motor 1422, and the discharger 141 moves to the sampling end. The discharger 141 has a "┌"-shaped structure, and the upper top plate is covered by the translation guide rail 1433 to ensure that the discharger 141 has a straight trajectory. After sampling, the sampling head 13 rises into position, the lifting cylinder locks in place, and the translation motor 1422 starts, driving the discharger 141 from the sampling end to the discharge end. The vertical plate of the discharger 141 pushes the material in the sampling head 13 toward the discharge port. The top plate of the discharger 141 presses the sample material to prevent it from accumulating and overflowing the sampling head 13 during the push. The discharger 141 pushes all the sample material in the sampling head 13 into the sample outlet 111.

[0071] In some embodiments, the sample return unit 3 includes a dividing chute frame 31, a return conveyor 32, a fixing frame 33, a second telescopic component 34 and a sampling component 35. A return channel 311 is provided in the dividing chute frame, and the lower end of the return channel 311 is connected to the return conveyor 32.

[0072] An opening is provided on the side of the return channel 311, the fixed frame 33 is connected to the reduction chute frame 31, and the fixed frame 33 is provided with a second telescopic component 34, the second telescopic component 34 is connected to the sampling component 35, the second telescopic component 34 is extended to allow the sampling component 35 to extend into the return channel 311, the fixed frame 33 is provided with a sample unloading channel 312, the second telescopic component 34 is contracted to allow the sampling component 35 to move to the top of the sample unloading channel 312 for unloading.

[0073] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the side of the contraction chute frame 31 is opened for the sampling component 35 to enter and intercept the sample. The second telescopic component 34 is telescopic in the left and right directions to enable the sampling component 35 to move in the left and right directions. For example, the sampling component 35 moves to the left to intercept the material, and moves to the right to unload the material, so that the material is unloaded into the unloading channel 312.

[0074] The material sample is discharged from the crushing unit 2 into the return channel 311 of the splitting chute frame 31. The splitting chute frame 31 has a side opening for the sampling component 35 to enter and intercept the sample. The lower end of the splitting chute frame 31 is connected to the return conveyor 32. The material not intercepted by the sampling component 35 falls into the return conveyor 32 as discarded material. The outlet of the return conveyor 32 is connected to the head funnel 53 of the loading system. The discarded material returns to the loading channel and falls back into the vehicle. The intercepted material sample enters the sample storage unit 4 through the unloading channel 312.

[0075] Furthermore, the sample material is evenly pushed out by the discharger 141 through the sample outlet 111 and enters the crushing unit 2, where the large particle size material is crushed into small particle size material, which is convenient for the next reduction operation. In actual application, a crusher can be selected according to the actual particle size. In some cases, a crusher may not be used and the material can directly enter the sample cutting and returning unit.

[0076] In some embodiments, the sampling component 35 includes a cutter body 351, a spring 352, a bottom plate 353, and a discharge stopper 354 disposed on the fixing frame 33.

[0077] The cutter body 351 is provided with a material receiving hole 3511, one end of the spring 352 is connected to the bottom plate 353, and the bottom plate 353 can be extended into or out of the bottom of the material receiving hole 3511 for sampling or unloading, wherein the second telescopic part 34 can be extended to allow the cutter body 351 to extend into the return channel 311 for sampling, and the second telescopic part 34 can be retracted to allow the cutter body 351 to move to the top of the unloading channel 312 so that the unloading stopper 354 can extend into the material receiving hole 3511 and push the bottom plate 353 out of the material receiving hole 3511 for unloading.

[0078] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 11As shown, the cutter body 351 is provided with a material receiving hole 3511, and the bottom plate 353 is movable on the cutter body 351. When the bottom plate 353 moves relative to the cutter body 351, the bottom plate 353 can block the lower end of the material receiving hole 3511 to allow the material to be carried by the material receiving hole 3511, or the bottom plate 353 can move away from the material receiving hole 3511 to unload the material in the material receiving hole 3511. For example, the bottom plate 353 moves rightward to extend into the lower end of the material receiving hole 3511 to block the lower end of the material receiving hole 3511 to cut the sample. The spring 352 keeps the bottom plate 353 moving rightward at all times, that is, the spring 352 provides a normally closed torque to close the bottom opening of the material receiving hole 3511 of the cutter body 351.

[0079] The spring 352 can keep the bottom plate 353 at the lower end of the material receiving hole 3511 at all times, and the second telescopic component 34 enables the cutter body 351 to move in the left and right directions. When the cutter body 351 is at the rightmost end of the moving trajectory, or the cutter body 351 moves to the right above the sample unloading channel 312, the bottom plate 353 contacts the unloading stopper 354, and then the cutter body 351 continues to move to the right. At this time, the bottom plate 353 is pushed by the unloading stopper 354 to move to the left to release the material in the material receiving hole 3511.

[0080] In some embodiments, the sample storage unit 4 includes a storage tube 41 and a sample collector 42. The storage tube 41 is connected to the fixed frame 33, and the inlet of the storage tube 41 is connected to the sample unloading channel 312. The outlet of the storage tube 41 faces the sample collector 42. The sample collector 42 is provided with multiple sample bottles 43 to collect samples.

[0081] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the sample collector 42 may be an existing sample collector 42 , and a plurality of sample storage bottles 43 are provided above the sample collector 42 for collecting samples outputted from the sample unloading channel 312 .

[0082] Furthermore, the sample storage unit 4 can also be provided with a cap lifting device, a cap hanging device, a cap screwing device and a bottle clamping device, so that the input sample storage bottle 43 can complete the process of cap lifting, cap hanging and cap screwing in sequence.

[0083] Furthermore, the sample storage unit 4 can also be provided with a sealing device and a labeling device, so that the sample storage bottle 43 after the cap is screwed into the sealing device and the labeling device in sequence, and the processes of lifting the cap, hanging the cap, screwing the cap, sealing, labeling, etc. are performed to complete the sample storage of the sample storage bottle 43 in sequence.

[0084] In some embodiments, the material taking unit 1 further includes a protective cover disposed above the opening of the funnel 53 to prevent the sampling head 13 from being mechanically damaged by the outside world during the sampling process.

[0085] The quick-loading bulk material system 5 of the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0086] A silo 51, a feeder 52 and a hopper 53, wherein the silo 51 is connected to one end of the feeder 52, and the other end of the feeder 52 is connected to the inlet of the hopper 53;

[0087] A loading chute 54 and a dump truck 55 , wherein the inlet of the loading chute 54 is connected to the outlet of the hopper 53 , and the outlet of the loading chute 54 faces the dump truck 55 ;

[0088] The sampling device is the sampling device mentioned above. The sampling device is connected to the funnel 53 to sample the material output from the feeder 52 to the funnel 53. The sampling and returning unit 3 of the sampling device returns the sampled material to the loading chute 54.

[0089] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 11 As shown, dump truck 55 enters the bottom layer of the rapid loading system and stops. The discharge port of silo 51 opens, and feeder 52 of silo 51 is turned on to discharge the bulk material. Feeder 52 feeds the bulk material into hopper 53 in a quantitative and even manner. Hopper 53 is connected to loading chute 54 below, which guides the bulk material into the compartment of dump truck 55 in a controlled manner.

[0090] When the bulk material is quickly loaded onto the truck, the sampling device performs sampling, crushing, cutting and storing the sample for sampling into the sample storage bottle 43, while returning the uncut material to the loading chute 54, and then loading the uncut material onto the truck.

[0091] The quick-loading bulk material system 5 of the embodiment of the present invention adopts a sampling device, which facilitates sampling of the quick-loading bulk material system 5 and reduces sampling costs. During the process of loading materials, samples are taken while the vehicle is being loaded. The sampled materials are highly representative and there is no need to stop loading to take samples separately, thus achieving efficient loading and delivery of goods. Therefore, no additional sampling time is added. The sampling position is as close to the vehicle as possible, which is most consistent with the material quality at the time of loading. The collected samples are directly packaged and stored, shortening the transportation and processing route and reducing the impact of the transportation process on the quality. No manual sampling is required, reducing labor costs. The entire sampling process avoids manual operation and human interference and operates fully automatically. The sampling device is integrated with the quick-loading bulk material system 5, eliminating the need to invest in the construction of an independent sampling room and reducing costs. It can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of bulk material sampling, and the sampling results are highly representative, providing reliable technical support for bulk commodity quality monitoring. At the same time, it greatly streamlines construction land and saves valuable land resources.

[0092] Further, the sample collection process of the embodiment of the present invention is described below. The fast-loading bulk material system 5 includes a silo 51, a feeder 52, a head funnel 53, a loading chute 54, and a dump truck 55. The silo 51 is provided with a discharge port.

[0093] The sampling unit includes a frame 11, an air lock 15, an air spring 16, a sampling head 13, a lifting frame 122, a lifting cylinder, a discharger 141, a translation guide rail 1433, a translation motor 1422, a fixed rack 1423, and a shield. The lifting frame 122 and the lifting cylinder are the lifting component 12, and the translation motor 1422 and the fixed rack 1423 are the first telescopic component 142.

[0094] The reduction system includes a reduction chute frame 31, a return conveyor 32, a cutter body 351, a bottom plate 353, a spring 352, a discharge block 354, a linear module, a sample storage chute, a sample storage bottle 43, and a sample collector 42.

[0095] Specific implementation:

[0096] The dump truck 55 enters the bottom layer of the quick-loading bulk material system 5 and stops. The discharge port is opened, and the feeder 52 is turned on. The bulk material is quantitatively and evenly fed into the hopper 53 through the feeder 52. The hopper 53 is connected to the loading chute 54 below, which can controllably guide the bulk material into the car.

[0097] After the material flow is stable, the sampling operation can be started. The frame 11 is fixed on the top of the funnel 53, the top surface of the funnel 53 is open, and a lock valve 15 is set. The lock valve 15 is supported by an air spring 16 to keep the opening normally closed to prevent dust from overflowing.

[0098] The lifting cylinder extends, driving the lifting frame 122 downward. A sampling head 13 is connected to the underside of the lifting frame 122. Sampling head 13 is the same width as the material flow, with an opening greater than three times the nominal material particle size. Sampling head 13 is a "U"-shaped flat bottom structure with openings at the top and ends, ensuring it can reach the entire cross-section of the material flow. As sampling head 13 continues to descend until it fully penetrates the material flow, instantaneously filling it, the lifting cylinder reverses direction and rises.

[0099] When the lifting frame 122 and the sampling head 13 are lowered, they will contact the air lock door 15 and push it open. When the lifting frame 122 and the sampling head 13 are raised to their proper positions after sampling, the air lock door 15 is pushed back and closed by the air spring 16.

[0100] After the sampling head 13 is loaded with the sample, the translation motor 1422 mounted on the connecting frame 1421 is activated, driving the gears to rotate. Through the engagement of the fixed rack 1423, the connecting frame 1421 is driven to move from the discharge end to the sampling end. The connecting frame 1421 is used to connect the discharger 141 and the translation motor 1422, and the discharger 141 moves to the sampling end. The discharger 141 has a "┌"-shaped structure, and its upper top plate encases the translation guide rail 1433, ensuring that the discharger 141 has a straight trajectory in the left and right directions.

[0101] After the sampling head 13 is raised into position, the lifting cylinder locks its position, and the translation motor 1422 is activated, driving the discharger 141 from the sampling end to the discharge end. The discharger 141 pushes the material in the sampling head 13 toward the discharge port. The top plate of the discharger 141 presses the sample material to prevent it from accumulating and overflowing the sampling head 13 during the push. The discharger 141 pushes all the sample material in the sampling head 13 into the sample outlet 111.

[0102] The sample material is evenly pushed out by the discharger 141 through the sample outlet 111 and enters the crushing unit 2, where the large particle size material is crushed into small particle size material, which is convenient for the next reduction operation. In actual application, the crusher can be selected according to the actual particle size.

[0103] Small-sized samples are discharged from the crusher into the reduction chute. The side of the reduction chute is open for the cutter to enter and intercept the sample. The lower end of the reduction chute is connected to the return conveyor 32. The material not intercepted by the cutter falls into the return conveyor 32 as discarded material. The outlet of the return conveyor 32 is connected to the head funnel 53 of the loading system. The discarded material returns to the loading material flow channel and falls back into the car. The cutter body 351 is a square frame without a top or bottom, connected to the linear module. The cutter base plate 353 is movably connected to the cutter body 351 in the left and right directions. The spring 352 provides a normally closed torque, which causes the cutter base plate 353 to be located at the lower end of the material receiving hole, so that the material receiving hole 3511 is closed. The second telescopic component 34 can be a linear module or a linear guide 1433. The linear module drives the cutter to move left and right, that is, the second telescopic component 34 drives the cutter to move left and right, and can enter the reduction chute to intercept the sample. After cutting the sample, the linear module drives the cutter to move above the sample discharge channel 312, where it contacts the discharge stopper 354. The discharge stopper 354 pushes the cutter base 353 open, allowing the sample in the receiving hole 3511 to fall into the sample discharge channel 312. When the cutter body 351 moves left and leaves the discharge stopper 354 again, the torque of the spring 352 causes the bottom of the cutter receiving hole 3511 to close again.

[0104] The sample collector 42 stores several thousand sample bottles 43, each corresponding to a different customer or material type, facilitating the classified storage of samples. The sample collector 42 can be rotated to switch the sample bottles 43 to the sample chute above, where they can receive and store the reduced samples. The above represents a complete process of sampling, sample preparation, sample storage, and material return to the vehicle. The same vehicle can repeat this process multiple times.
