Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sampling technology, and in particular to a fast and accurate sampling device and a control method. Technical Background
[0002] This example relates to sampling for raw material inspection, specifically, it relates to a sampling mechanism for a belt feeding system, and further, it relates to a raw material sampling device and an automatically controlled sampling method.
[0003] For the quality inspection of raw materials entering the factory, the sampling process is particularly important. Whether the sampling process and sampling actions are standard directly affects the fairness and representativeness of subsequent test data.
[0004] When the purchased alloy raw materials enter the factory, we first randomly select sampling bags from each car of packaged raw materials, then open the sample bags and convey them to the screening machine by belt. During the transportation, a certain amount of raw materials needs to be randomly collected and stored in the receiving container for sealing. At present, the sampling operation cabinet of the original equipment body is set under the sampling device, and the sampling device is normally open, so blocks of materials will fall during the belt conveying process. During the loading process, the operator is required to stand at the sampling position and manually operate the button to control the grabbing of the material. The sampling time, sampling times, and sampling quantity are all manually intervened. This sampling method not only reduces work efficiency, but also affects the test results.

[0030] 7) Standardized management of sampling: set the sampling standards according to the process requirements on the display screen of the distribution cabinet;
[0031] 8) The automatic control system strictly completes automatic sampling according to the set sampling standards to avoid human intervention;
[0032] 9) The setting and maintenance of sampling standards are authorized by the system;
[0033] 10) Automatically generate and save sampling information, which is conducive to the cross-platform and cross-system access of sampling information;

[0038] "A quick and accurate sampling device and control method", the system composition includes: loading area, conveyor belt, sampling device, unloading area.
[0039] The automatic sampling device is arranged between the feeding device and the screening device, and comprises a sampling bin and a sample container.
[0040] The upper port of the sampling bin is communicated with the conveyor belt, wherein a sampling shovel (1) and a material blocking valve (2) are installed. A sample container (3) is provided below the discharge port of the sampling bin, and an electronic scale (4) is provided below the sample container (3).
[0041] The working state of the sampling device is controlled by PLC. When the conveyor belt device is abnormal, the sampling device does not work. The sampling standard can be set and maintained on the touch screen of the system power distribution cabinet.
[0042] Depends on the sampling criteria.
[0043] The sampling frequency and sampling quantity of the sampling device are controlled by PLC according to the set sampling standard. The system collects electronic scale data and counts the collected amount. If the total amount collected in each bag does not meet the standard requirements, additional shoveling sampling should be carried out.
[0044] The "device and control method for quick and accurate sampling" also includes transcoding and printing the sampling information.
[0045] When the incoming raw materials arrive at the warehouse, the purchase contract information and transportation information have been stored in the company's MES system, "Sampling Label Printing"
[0046] The function binds the sampling results with the raw material arrival order number to generate a barcode for the user to print and seal into the sample container.
[0047] 3.2 Sampling control process
[0048] 1) The system detects the status of the equipment. When the shovel or baffle of the sampling fails, the "manual mode" can be used;
[0049] 2) Set the quantity of raw materials (number of bags) and sampling requirements for each batch on the system main control screen.
[0050] (“Parameter settings” can be set according to process requirements: sampling interval time, sampling quantity);
[0051] 3) The system automatically controls the action of the scraper and baffle according to the set sampling standards;
[0052] 4) The sampled material falls into the sample container;
[0053] 5) Measurement;
[0054] 6) Determine whether the sampling volume meets the sampling requirements;
[0055] 7) If the quantity is insufficient, automatically increase the sampling times;
[0056] 8) Automatically detect whether sampling is completed based on the number of bags in each batch;
