[0026] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: the net weight of the device is weighed using a weighing device 3, and the net weight of the device is recorded as m1. The second solenoid valve 8 is controlled to open, and water is transported to the inside of the measuring tank 1 through the water pipe 5, the liquid inlet pipe 16 and the sprinkler 101. The delivery pipe 15 connects the measuring tube 11 and the measuring tank 1. As the water level rises, the float 1102 in the measuring tube 11 rises along the Z-axis direction through the limit frame 1101. The rising height of the float 1102 is consistent with the rising height of the water level in the measuring tank 1. The position of the float 1102 is monitored by the infrared sensor 12. When it reaches the preset position, the second solenoid valve 8 is closed, and no water is transported to the measuring tank 1. Wait for the reading of the weighing device 3 to stabilize, and record the weight of the device filled with water as m2.

[0027] Open the valve, and the water will be discharged through the drain pipe 9 until the water in the measuring tank 1 and the measuring pipe 11 is emptied, and then close the valve.

[0028] The first solenoid valve 7 is controlled to open, and the slurry to be tested is transported to the inside of the measuring tank 1 through the sample tube 6, the liquid inlet tube 16 and the sprinkler 101. The delivery tube 15 connects the measuring tube 11 and the measuring tank 1. As the water level of the slurry to be tested rises, the float 1102 in the measuring tube 11 rises along the Z-axis direction through the limit frame 1101. The rising height of the float 1102 is consistent with the rising height of the water level of the slurry to be tested in the measuring tank 1. The position of the float 1102 is monitored by the infrared sensor 12. When it reaches the preset position, the first solenoid valve 7 is closed, and the slurry to be tested is no longer transported to the measuring tank 1. Wait for the reading of the weighing device 3 to be stable, record the weight of the device containing the slurry to be tested as m3, and calculate the density of the slurry to be tested by the following formula: Slurry density: ρslurry = (m3-m1) / (m2-m1) After the slurry density measurement is completed, the valve is opened, and the slurry is discharged through the drain pipe 9 until the slurry in the measuring tank 1 and the measuring tube 11 is emptied, and the valve is closed.

[0029] Start cleaning work: open the second solenoid valve 8, water is transported to the inside of the measuring tank 1 through the water pipe 5, the liquid inlet pipe 16 and the sprinkler 101, and the motor 4 is started at the same time. The screw 202 rotates to drive the displacement block 203, the connecting rod 14 and the brush 102 to slide up and down along the Z-axis direction through the displacement frame 201, and the inner wall of the measuring tank 1 is cleaned with water.
