Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rubber ball adding equipment, in particular to an automatic rubber ball detection and replenishment device. Background Art

[0002] The rubber ball cleaning device is a device that effectively cleans the condenser cooling pipes during the operation of the steam turbine generator set. The device can be operated online and can be controlled manually or automatically. The device consists of a secondary filter, a ball collection net, a ball loading chamber, a rubber ball delivery pump, a manifold, valves, pipelines and an electrical control cabinet. The rubber ball cleaning device can be used to clean the condenser when the unit is running, improve the heat transfer effect of the condenser, prevent the thermal efficiency of the steam turbine from being reduced due to the increase in back pressure, maintain a high vacuum degree and a small end difference of the condenser, and prevent the cooling pipes from being corroded due to scaling, extend the service life of the cooling pipes, and reduce labor intensity. It is an ideal equipment that integrates energy saving and improving the economic benefits of power plants. It is also an indispensable device to ensure the safe operation of the unit;

[0003] When using the rubber ball cleaning device, rubber balls should be put into the ball loading chamber, the number of which is about 10% of the number of copper tubes in the condenser water inlet chamber. Then start the rubber ball pump, open the ball valves at both ends of the system, and the rubber balls will enter the condenser water chamber driven by the water flow with a slightly higher circulating water inlet pressure. Because the rubber ball is a multi-porous soft elastomer, it is squeezed through the cooling pipe under the action of the circulating water inlet pressure difference, and the inner diameter of the cooling pipe is wiped once, so that the dirt on the inner wall of the pipe is carried out with the water flow. The rubber balls follow the circulating water into the ball collecting net through the outlet pipe, and are blocked by the ball collecting net plate, and are separated and pumped out by the rubber ball pump and returned to the ball loading chamber. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous and automatic cleaning of the condenser cooling pipe.

[0004] However, the existing rubber ball cleaning device adopts the method of pausing the equipment first and then adding balls for cleaning. Each time the balls are added, the cover plate needs to be opened manually. Since the cover plate is heavy and will rust and corrode after frequent opening and closing, it is difficult to cover the cover plate tightly, which ultimately makes the entire cleaning process not only difficult to operate and time-consuming, but also in the process of pressurizing the rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber, the circulating water is very likely to spray out from the gap of the cover plate, resulting in water leakage and pressure loss, and the circulating water splashes onto the surrounding electrical equipment (such as the rubber ball pump and the rubber ball pump outlet electric door), which will cause certain safety hazards.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] The embodiment of the present invention provides a device for automatically detecting and replenishing rubber balls, such as Figure 1-10 As shown, it includes a rubber ball storage tank 1, and the two ends of the rubber ball storage tank 1 are respectively connected to a water inlet branch pipe 11 and a ball outlet branch pipe 112, the water inlet branch pipe 11 is provided with a rubber ball storage tank inlet valve 12, and the ball outlet branch pipe 112 is provided with a rubber ball storage tank outlet valve 13, the other ends of the water inlet branch pipe 11 and the ball outlet branch pipe 112 are connected to a main pipeline 14, and the main pipeline 14 is provided with a rubber ball pump 15, a rubber ball pump outlet door 16, a rubber ball automatic detection device 2, a rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber 17, a rubber ball cleaning collector 18 and a rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber outlet door 19 in sequence along the rubber ball recovery direction, the rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber 17 is respectively connected to a rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber water discharge door 110 and a rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber air release door 111, and a replenishing device 5 is fixed on the top of the rubber ball storage tank 1.

[0034] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the regular cleaning work is performed for the first time, the outlet valve 13 and the inlet valve 12 of the rubber ball storage tank need to be closed first, then the rubber ball storage tank 1 is opened and the balls are added, and then the rubber ball storage tank 1 is closed after the balls are added, and then the deflation valve 111 of the rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber is opened, and at the same time, the outlet valve 13 and the inlet valve 12 of the rubber ball storage tank are opened, and water is injected into the main pipeline 14, and after the system is filled with water, the deflation valve 111 of the rubber ball cleaning and loading chamber is closed;

[0035] If it is not the first time to use the system, then, under the condition that there are enough rubber balls in the rubber ball storage tank, it is only necessary to open the rubber ball storage tank outlet valve 13 and the rubber ball storage tank inlet valve 12 to start injecting water and adding balls into the main pipeline 14;

[0036] The rubber ball pump 15 is used to pressurize the rubber ball replenishing device, and the water flows through the rubber ball storage tank inlet valve 12 and enters the rubber ball storage tank 1 from the water inlet branch pipe 11, and carries the rubber balls from the ball outlet branch pipe 112 through the rubber ball storage tank outlet valve 13 back to the main pipeline 14. Because the diameter of the water inlet branch pipe 11 is smaller than the rubber balls, the rubber balls cannot enter the water inlet branch pipe 11 and can only move along the main pipeline 14. When the rubber balls pass through the rubber ball automatic detection device 2, counting begins. When the count reaches 400, the system automatically closes the rubber ball storage tank outlet valve 13, the rubber ball storage tank inlet valve 12 and the replenishing device 5, thereby stopping cleaning and adding balls;

[0037] The present invention utilizes a combination of an automatic rubber ball detection device 2 and a replenishing device 5 to perform manual ball adding without opening the cover plate of the rubber ball cleaning ball loading chamber 17. The number of rubber balls is automatically detected by electrical signals, and the balls are automatically added, thereby avoiding repeated and heavy valve switching and cover plate opening and closing work, greatly reducing manual labor, reducing the risk of being hit or scratched by old equipment, shortening the ball adding time, and improving the working efficiency of the equipment. In addition, automatic ball adding without opening the cover also reduces the probability of cover plate corrosion, and avoids the loss and aging of the equipment caused by water leakage and pressure leakage at the opening and closing cover plate, thereby eliminating the safety hazards of surrounding electrical equipment caused by water leakage from the root. At the same time, the number of balls added can be counted more accurately, which is conducive to analyzing the ball collection rate and then discovering the hidden dangers of the unit. In addition, the device is modified on the original system, reducing the engineering workload and investment budget, and can resume production work as soon as possible.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] On the basis of Example 1, the automatic rubber ball detection device 2 includes a rubber ball detection component 20 and a rubber ball counting component 3. The rubber ball detection component 20 includes a top plate 21, which is slidably connected to the vertical frame 22 and passes through the main pipeline 14. A sealing sleeve 23 is provided between the top plate 21 and the main pipeline 14. The vertical frame 22 is fixed to the main pipeline 14. The top end of the top plate 21 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 24, and the other end of the connecting rod 24 is rotatably connected to a crankshaft 25. The crankshaft 25 is rotatably connected to a shell 26. A driving gear 27 is fixed on the crankshaft 25, and the driving gear 27 is meshed with the rubber ball counting component 3. The shell 26 is fixed to the main pipeline 14, and the rubber ball counting component 3 is nested and fixed on the shell 26.

[0040] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the rubber ball passes through the main pipe 14, it passes through the top sheet 21. Under the impact of the high-pressure water flow, the rubber ball quickly passes under the top sheet 21, pushing the top sheet 21 upward, and the top sheet 21 slides upward on the vertical frame 22. The top sheet 21 drives the connecting rod 24, and the connecting rod 24 then drives the crankshaft 25 to perform a circular motion. The crankshaft 25 rotates to drive the driving gear 27 to rotate. Whenever a rubber ball passes, the crankshaft 25 and the driving gear 27 rotate one circle, and the driving gear 27 rotates to drive the rubber ball counting component 3 to count.

[0041] The present invention utilizes the top sheet 21, the connecting rod 24 and the crankshaft 25 to convert the longitudinal motion into the circular motion, so that the number of rubber balls is converted into the number of circles of the circular motion, which can be counted more conveniently and avoid the influence of water on the counting of the rubber balls. At the same time, even if the rubber balls are close to each other, the top sheet 21 can utilize the angle gap between the circumferences of the rubber balls to perform the falling motion. As long as the rubber balls pass through, they will inevitably drive the top sheet 21 to perform reciprocating motion, so that the rubber balls can be effectively counted.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] On the basis of Example 2, the rubber ball counting assembly 3 includes an inner shell 31, in which a transmission component 32 and a counting component 4 are arranged, the transmission component 32 includes a transmission gear set 33, the transmission gear set 33 is fixed on a rotating shaft 34, the rotating shaft 34 is rotatably connected to the inner shell 31 and passes through the inner shell 31, the inner shell 31 is fixed on the shell 26, the large gear of the transmission gear set 33 is meshed with the driving gear 27, and the small gear of the transmission gear set 33 is meshed with the counting component 4.

[0044] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the large gear of the transmission gear set 33 is exactly the same as the gear of the driving gear 27. After the driving gear 27 rotates one circle, the transmission gear set 33 also rotates one circle. Due to the coaxial reason, the number of overall rotations of the transmission gear set 33 is the same as that of the driving gear 27. The transmission gear set 33 drives the counting component 4 to count the rubber balls.

[0045] The present invention utilizes gears of the same size for transmission, ensuring that the transmission gear set 33 and the driving gear 27 rotate the same number of times, thereby ensuring that when counting is performed, the number of turns will not change during the transmission process, thereby affecting the subsequent rubber ball counting. At the same time, while utilizing the coaxiality to ensure that the number of turns will not change, the size of the gear can be changed, facilitating subsequent installation and debugging.

[0046] Example 4

[0047] On the basis of Example 3, the counting component 4 includes a ones gear set 41, a tens gear set 42 and a hundreds gear 43, the ones gear set 41 is fixed on the rotating shaft 2 44, the tens gear set 42 is fixed on the rotating shaft 3 45, and the hundreds gear 43 is fixed on the rotating shaft 46. The rotating shafts 2 44, 3 45 and 4 46 are all rotatably connected to the inner shell 31, the large gear of the ones gear set 41 is meshed with the small gear of the transmission gear set 33, the small gear of the ones gear set 41 is meshed with the large gear of the tens gear set 42, the small gear of the tens gear set 42 and the hundreds gear 43 are meshed with each other, and a photoelectric sensor 47 is fixed on the end face of the hundreds gear 43, and the photoelectric sensor 47 is electrically connected to the inlet valve 12 of the rubber ball storage tank.

[0048] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the diameter ratio of the small gear of the units gear set 41 to the large gear of the tens gear set 42 is 1:10, and the diameter ratio of the small gear of the tens gear set 42 to the hundreds gear 43 is 1:4. When the transmission is in progress, the small gear of the transmission gear set 33 drives the large gear of the units gear set 41 to rotate, and the units gear set 41 rotates one circle to indicate that one rubber ball has passed through. When the number of rubber balls passing through reaches ten, the units gear set 41 rotates ten circles, and the small gear of the units gear set 41 rotates ten circles. The gear drives the tens gear set 42 to rotate one circle, indicating that ten rubber balls have passed through. When the number of rubber balls passing through reaches one hundred, the tens gear set 42 rotates ten circles, the ones gear set 41 rotates one hundred circles, and the small gear of the tens gear set 42 drives the hundreds gear 43 to rotate 10* circles, indicating that one hundred rubber balls have passed through. When the number of rubber balls passing through reaches four hundred, the hundreds gear 43 rotates ten circles, and the photoelectric sensor 47 counts in sequence. When it reaches four hundred, an electrical signal is sent to the inlet valve 12 of the rubber ball storage tank.

[0049] The present invention utilizes the step difference of gear transmission, and the ratio of the number of turns of the ones gear set 41, the tens gear set 42 and the hundreds gear set 43 is 40:4:1. In this way, the number of passes of the rubber ball and the number of turns of each gear are bound to each other. It is only necessary to count the number of turns of each gear to obtain the number of passes of the rubber ball. At the same time, the gears of each gear are progressive in sequence, avoiding errors caused by huge data when counting a single gear, which affects the entire counting process.

[0050] Example 5

[0051] Based on Example 1, the replenishing device 5 includes a storage component 6, a pushing component 8 is provided on one side of the storage component 6, and a conveying component 9 is provided on the other side of the storage component 6. The storage component 6 and the pushing component 8 cooperate with each other, and the pushing component 8 and the conveying component 9 are both fixed above the rubber ball storage tank 1.

[0052] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the rubber balls are insufficient, the rubber balls are replenished by the replenishing device 5, the rubber balls are taken out from the storage component 6 by the pushing component 8, and the rubber balls are sent to the conveying component 9, and the conveying component 9 sends the rubber balls to the rubber ball storage tank 1;

[0053] The present invention stores the rubber balls separately in the storage component 6, which ensures the safety and stability of the rubber balls and avoids the failure of the rubber balls. When they are needed, the rubber balls are taken out by the pushing component 8 and sent to the conveying component 9, so that they can be used immediately. The rubber balls enter the rubber ball storage tank 1 one by one, avoiding too many rubber balls being sent in at one time and causing the number of rubber balls to exceed the standard.

[0054] Example 6

[0055] On the basis of Example 5, the storage component 6 includes a ball storage tank 61, in which a spiral pipe 62 is fixed, the starting end of the spiral pipe 62 is fixedly connected to one end of a compression elastic member 63, the other end of the compression elastic member 63 is fixed to a top plate 64, the top plate 64 is slidably connected in the spiral pipe 62, a ball tube 65 is fixed through the side surface below the ball storage tank 61, the end of the spiral pipe 62 along the forward direction of the rubber ball is connected to the ball tube 65, a ball outlet hole 66 is penetrated through one side of the ball tube 65, a ball outlet tube 67 is penetrated and fixed on the other side of the ball tube 65, an anti-detachment clip 68 is rotatably connected to the end surface of the ball tube 65, a rotating elastic member 69 is provided between the anti-detachment clip 68 and the ball tube 65, and a locking component 7 is fixed to the bottom of the ball storage tank 61.

[0056] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the rubber ball needs to be loaded into the ball storage tank 61, the rubber ball is inserted into the spiral pipe 62 through the anti-slip clip 68. When the rubber ball passes through the anti-slip clip 68, the rubber ball causes the anti-slip clip 68 to rotate and approach the inner wall of the ball tube 65. After the rubber ball passes, the anti-slip clip 68 is reset under the action of the rotating elastic member 69, closing the entrance of the ball tube 65. At the same time, the top plate 64 in the spiral pipe 62 presses the rubber ball under the action of the compression elastic member 63, so that the rubber ball is squeezed out. The rubber balls are pressed between the top plate 64 and the anti-dropping clip 68, and a flexible plastic baffle is provided at the ball outlet pipe 67 to prevent the rubber balls from being squeezed out from the ball outlet pipe 67. As the rubber balls are inserted one by one, the compression elastic member 63 in the spiral pipe 62 is gradually compressed to the rear. When the rubber balls need to be taken out from the ball storage tank 61, the pushing assembly 8 pushes the rubber balls out of the ball outlet pipe 67 through the ball outlet hole 66. After the current ball is pushed out, the next ball is automatically pushed to the front of the spiral pipe 62 under the action of the compression elastic member 63 to wait for being pushed out.

[0057] The present invention utilizes the spiral pipe 62, the compression elastic member 63 and the top plate 64, which not only ensures the storage problem of the rubber balls, but also enables the rubber balls to automatically pop out from the spiral pipe 62 after being loaded into the spiral pipe 62, thereby avoiding the dilemma of easy loading and difficult removal of the balls. At the same time, the cooperation of the anti-dropping clip 68 and the ball outlet hole 66 enables the rubber balls to be self-locking after being loaded. When they need to be taken out, they can be taken out by applying a side thrust, and other rubber balls will not be affected during the removal, thereby ensuring that the rubber balls are taken out one by one and avoiding the difficulty of taking out the balls due to the congestion of the rubber balls.

[0058] Example 7

[0059] On the basis of Example 6, the locking component 7 includes a base 71, which is fixed on the rubber ball storage tank 1. A slot 72 is provided on the base 71, and three vertical slots 73 are provided on the side wall of the slot 72. A base protrusion 74 is slidably connected in the slot 72. The base protrusion 74 is fixed to the bottom of the ball storage tank 61. Three vertical bars 75 are fixed on the side of the base protrusion 74. The vertical bars 75 are slidably connected in the vertical slots 73. A lock 76 is fixed on the top surface of the base 71, and a lock hook 77 is fixed on the side of the base protrusion. The lock 76 and the lock hook 77 cooperate with each other.

[0060] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the ball storage tank 61 is fixed by inserting the base protrusion 74 into the slot 72, the vertical groove 73 and the vertical bar 75 fix the ball storage tank 61 in the circumferential direction to prevent it from rotating, and the lock hook 77 and the lock buckle 76 fix the ball storage tank 61 longitudinally to prevent it from moving up and down;

[0061] The present invention fixes the ball storage tank 61 in both the circumferential and longitudinal directions to prevent the ball storage tank 61 from rotating or moving up and down. This design ensures the mutual cooperation between the ball storage tank 61 and the pushing assembly 8, and avoids the phenomenon that the ball storage tank 61 is blocked or the ball is damaged due to deviation in the installation position.

[0062] Example 8

[0063] On the basis of Example 5, the pushing assembly 8 includes an electric rotating shaft 81, which is rotatably connected in a shell 2 82, and the shell 2 82 is fixed on the rubber ball storage tank 1. A turntable 83 is fixed on the top of the electric rotating shaft 81, and a conversion block 84 is fixed on the turntable 83. The conversion block 84 is slidably connected in the inner ring of the reversing elliptical ring 85. A push rod 86 is fixedly connected to the two straight segments of the reversing elliptical ring 85, and the push rod 86 is slidably connected in the bracket ring 87. The bracket ring 87 is fixed to the shell 2 82 by bolts. A push fork 88 is fixed on the top of the push rod 86 close to the side of the storage assembly 6, and a through hole 89 is penetrated through the side of the shell 2 82. The push fork 88 passes through the through hole 89 and is slidably connected in the ball outlet hole 66.

[0064] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the rubber ball needs to be taken out, the electric rotating shaft 81 rotates to drive the rotating disk 83 to rotate, and the lower conversion block 84 performs a circular motion relative to the rotating disk 83 when the rotating disk 83 rotates, and the conversion block 84 performs a reciprocating horizontal motion relative to the reversing elliptical ring 85, and the reversing elliptical ring 85 performs a reciprocating longitudinal motion relative to the rotating disk 83, and the reversing elliptical ring 85 then drives the push rod 86 to perform a reciprocating longitudinal motion in the bracket ring 87, and the push fork 88 on the push rod 86 reciprocates to push the rubber ball out through the ball outlet hole 66;

[0065] The present invention utilizes a turntable 83, a conversion block 84 and a reversing elliptical ring 85 to convert circular motion into linear reciprocating motion. Under the linear reciprocating motion, the rubber ball is pushed forward and the rubber ball automatically pops out of the spiral pipe 62 backward, forming a fully automatic cycle and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the design of the push fork 88 on the push rod 86 blocks the spiral pipe 62 when the rubber ball is pushed out to prevent the rubber ball at the rear from popping out prematurely, thereby ensuring the reliability of the component operation. At the same time, the entire component has a simple structure and is easy to maintain.

[0066] Example 9

[0067] On the basis of Example 5, the conveying assembly 9 includes a slide 91, one end of which is arranged below the ball outlet pipe 67, the slide 91 is fixed on the shell three 92, the shell three 92 is fixed above the rubber ball storage tank 1, the other end of the slide 91 is connected to the inlet end of the diversion pipe 93, a reversing component 10 is fixed below the outlet end of the diversion pipe 93, a reversing rudder 94 is provided at the bifurcation of the diversion pipe 93, the reversing rudder 94 is fixed on the electric rotating shaft two 95, the electric rotating shaft two 95 passes through the diversion pipe 93 and is rotatably connected to the shell three 92, and the electric rotating shaft two 95 is electrically connected to the reversing component 10.

[0068] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: after the rubber ball is taken out by the pushing assembly 8, it falls into the slideway 91, and the rubber ball rolls along the slideway 91. When the rubber ball reaches the diverting pipe 93, the reversing rudder 94 blocks one side of the diverting pipe 93 under the action signal of the reversing component 10, so that the rubber ball rolls into the required pipe and finally enters the reversing component 10 at the end of the diverting pipe 93;

[0069] The present invention utilizes the reversing rudder 94 to change the advancing direction of the rubber ball, thereby causing the rubber ball to fall into different positions of the reversing component 10. This design enables the reversing component 10 to prepare another rubber ball while processing one rubber ball, thereby improving the efficiency of adding the rubber ball and the utilization rate of the reversing component 10.

[0070] Example 10

[0071] On the basis of Example 9, the reversing component 10 includes a sleeve 101, which is fixed on the shell three 92, and a reversing column 102 is slidably connected in the sleeve 101. A through hole 103 is provided at the left and right ends of the reversing column 102, and an infrared sensor 104 is fixed on the inner wall of the through hole 103. A plurality of sealing rings 105 are sleeved on the reversing column 102, and a ball drop tube 106 is provided in the middle of the sleeve 101. The ball drop tube 106 passes through the sleeve 101, the shell three 92 and the rubber ball storage tank 1, and a double-rod piston hydraulic cylinder 107 is fixed on the side of the sleeve 101. The piston rods on both sides of the double-rod piston hydraulic cylinder 107 are respectively connected to the left and right end surfaces of the reversing column 102 through a curved rod 108.

[0072] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: after the rubber ball enters the reversing component 10, it falls into one of the through holes 103 on one side of the reversing column 102. After the infrared sensor 104 senses the rubber ball, the double-rod piston hydraulic cylinder 107 is started to push the reversing column 102 to slide in the sleeve 101, and the rubber ball rolls accordingly. The sealing ring 105 on the reversing column 102 ensures that the internal environment of the sleeve 101 is isolated from the external environment during the sliding process. When the through hole 103 of the reversing column 102 coincides with the ball drop tube 106 on the sleeve 101, the rubber ball falls into the rubber ball storage tank 1 below under the action of gravity, and at the same time, a new rubber ball falls into the through hole 103 on the other side of the reversing column 102, and the double-rod piston hydraulic cylinder 107 pushes in the opposite direction, and the above process is repeated.

[0073] The two outlet ends of the diversion pipe 93 correspond to the ball receiving positions of the two through holes 103 respectively;

[0074] The present invention utilizes the mutual sliding between the sleeve 101 and the reversing column 102 to create a relatively isolated environment that is connected to the inside of the rubber ball storage tank 1. This design avoids the overflow of water and pressure caused by the communication between the internal environment of the rubber ball storage tank 1 and the external environment. At the same time, the design of the double-rod piston hydraulic cylinder 107 enables the left and right sides to work together, shortening the time required for installing a single rubber ball, improving the use efficiency of the mechanism and improving work efficiency.
