DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-7 A real-time detection and diversion device for solid materials, comprising a diversion body 1, a feed port 2, a qualified discharge port 3, a reject discharge port 4, an online detection probe 5, a probe cleaning component and a reject discharge port; the upper end of the diversion body 1 is connected to the feed port 2, the lower end is connected to the qualified discharge port 3, and the reject discharge port 4 is connected to the lower side wall of the diversion body 1; the online detection probe 5 is connected to the inner wall of the diversion body 1, and the online detection probe 5 is connected to the probe cleaning component; the inner wall of the diversion body 1 is connected to the reject discharge port 4. The real-time detection and diversion device for solid materials is in the form of a single input and double output, and the three interfaces are all clamp-type flat joints for easy disassembly and assembly; the main material channel and the installation surface of the diversion device form an angle of 60° to ensure smooth material transportation.

[0026] See also Figure 4 , 5 6, the probe cleaning assembly includes a first swing cylinder 6, the output end of the first swing cylinder 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 7, the rotating shaft 7 penetrates the inner side of the diversion body 1, and is connected to the brush mounting plate 8, the brush mounting plate 8 is connected to the cleaning brush 9, and the cleaning brush 9 contacts the online detection probe 5. The first swing cylinder 6 is connected to the cylinder mounting bracket 16. The first swing cylinder 6 rotates to drive the cleaning brush 9 to swing, and clean the residual materials of the online detection probe 5.

[0027] Specifically, the output end of the first swing cylinder 6 is connected to a spring adjustment seat 12, and the spring adjustment seat 12 is connected to a spring mounting seat 13. The spring mounting seat 13 is internally connected to a preload spring 14, and the preload spring 14 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 7. The size of the preload force is changed by adjusting the position of the spring adjustment seat 12 to achieve a suitable cleaning effect. The online detection probe 5 is installed on the bottom surface of the main logistics channel, and a probe cleaning assembly is arranged on the upper side. The probe cleaning assembly adopts a preload design. The cleaning brush 9 is connected to the preload spring 14 through the brush mounting plate 8 and the rotating shaft 7. The size of the preload force is changed by adjusting the position of the spring adjustment seat to achieve a suitable cleaning effect. The probe cleaning assembly can regularly clean the material on the probe surface to prevent local materials from staying on the probe surface for a long time due to electrostatic adsorption or other reasons, affecting the detection data.

[0028] Specifically, the online detection probe 5 can use online near-infrared spectroscopy technology and Raman spectroscopy technology to detect key quality attributes of materials in real time, such as content, moisture, mixing uniformity, etc.

[0029] Specifically, the waste rejection assembly includes a second swing cylinder 10, the output end of which penetrates the inner side of the diverter body 1 and is connected to a waste rejection valve plate 11, which covers the waste rejection outlet 4. The second swing cylinder 10 is connected to the side wall of the diverter body 1 through a cylinder mounting flange 17.

[0030] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the waste rejection valve plate 11 is against the inner wall of the diverter body 1. When it is found that the material has problems and needs to be rejected, the second swing cylinder 10 drives the waste rejection valve plate 11 to rotate, so that the waste rejection valve plate 11 flips 90 degrees, blocks the channel of the diverter body 1, and allows the problematic material to be discharged from the waste rejection outlet 4.

[0031] Specifically, a waste rejection valve plate 11 is arranged below the online detection probe 5, and the key quality attribute information of the material detected online is transmitted to the control system to judge in real time whether the material is qualified. If the material is qualified, the diverter valve plate is closed, and the material flows to the qualified discharge port; if the material is unqualified, the diverter valve plate is opened, and the material flows to the waste rejection discharge port.

[0032] Specifically, the online detection probe 5 is electrically connected to the control device, and the control device is electrically connected to the first swing cylinder 6 and the second swing cylinder 10. When the online detection probe 5 detects that the material is unsuitable, it sends a signal to the control device to control the second swing cylinder 10 to move and block the channel of the diversion body 1, so that the problematic material is discharged from the waste discharge port 4. The control device can also control the first swing cylinder 6 to move to clean the online detection probe 5.

[0033] Specifically, an observation window 15 is provided on the side wall of the diverter body 1 to facilitate observation of the material conditions.

[0034] This real-time detection and diversion device for solid materials can continuously and in real time detect the key quality attributes of input materials, and divert them in real time according to the release standards to ensure that the products entering the downstream meet the requirements; it has a simple structure and is easy to install and maintain; it has strong compatibility and can be compatible with a variety of online detection tools, such as near-infrared spectroscopy technology, Raman spectroscopy technology, microwave online detection technology, etc. Fully automatic operation reduces the number of production personnel and their contact with materials, thereby reducing the risk of contamination. Quick response and small diversion error; the path between the online detection probe and the rejection valve plate is short, and the diversion valve plate can respond immediately after the material is detected online to obtain information, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the real-time release detection of the material.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
