Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of RDF fuel molding equipment, and in particular to an adaptive pressure regulation and mold rapid replacement system for RDF fuel molding equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the field of waste resource utilization, RDF fuel has become an important choice to replace traditional fossil energy due to its advantages such as stable calorific value, convenient transportation and high combustion efficiency. Its molding equipment, as the core device for converting loose raw materials into regular fuel, directly determines product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] In actual applications, traditional RDF forming equipment has the problem of low mold replacement efficiency. The mold and the body of existing equipment are mostly rigidly connected by bolts. When replacing, the fixed parts need to be disassembled one by one. The replacement of a single set of molds generally takes more than 1 hour, and the mold position needs to be manually calibrated during the replacement process. The molding accuracy is easily affected by installation deviations, which seriously interrupts the continuous production process and causes the effective production time per day to be shortened by nearly 20%. In addition, the pressure adjustment adaptability is extremely poor. The gap adjustment between the pressure roller and the mold relies on manual operation of the wrench to adjust the positioning screw, and the adjustment accuracy is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] When processing different raw materials such as wood and straw, fixed gaps can easily lead to two extreme problems: insufficient squeezing pressure on wood raw materials, resulting in loose and easily broken molded particles; excessive squeezing pressure on straw raw materials, resulting in excessive crushing of the raw materials and loss of calorific value. A single mold can only meet the molding requirements of a fixed aperture. If RDF fuels of different specifications are to be produced, the entire set of molds must be shut down and replaced, making it difficult to meet the market demand for diversified products.

[0005] It should be noted that the above content belongs to the technical knowledge scope of the inventor. Since the technical content in this field is vast and too complicated, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; they may refer to mechanical connection or electrical connection; they may refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they may refer to internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0023] Refer to the attached Figure 1-6 An adaptive pressure regulation and rapid die change system for RDF fuel molding equipment is designed around the core process of "raw material extrusion molding." From top to bottom, the system consists of a loading bin, a pressure roller module, a ring die mechanism, and a discharge ring. The coordination between the pressure roller module and the ring die mechanism is crucial for molding. The pressure roller module rotates and presses the raw material into the forming hole of the ring die, ultimately forming the RDF fuel in a fixed shape. "Adaptive pressure regulation" is achieved by adjusting the pressure roller spacing, and "rapid die change" is achieved by raising and lowering the ring die mechanism.

[0024] The feeding silo provides installation space for other core components and accommodates raw materials, including a silo body 101, a feeding port 102, and an upper cover 103. The upper cover 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the silo body 101 by bolts to ensure the closure of the silo. The feeding port 102 is welded or flanged to the side wall of the silo body 101. After the raw materials enter the silo body 101 through the feeding port 102, they accumulate in the gap between the ring die mechanism and the pressure roller module. The hydraulic cylinder 403 of the ring die mechanism is fixed to the upper surface of the upper cover 103, and the upper end of the rotating motor protective cover 305 of the pressure roller module is fixed to the lower surface of the upper cover 103 to ensure the stable installation of the core drive components.

[0025] The pressure roller module is the core for providing extrusion force and realizing pressure regulation. It consists of a positioning bracket 301, a variable pitch bracket 302, a pressure roller group 303, a rotating motor 304 and protective components. Its core function is to drive the pressure roller to rotate and extrude, and adjust the pressure roller spacing to adapt to the mold or adjust the pressure.

[0026] The positioning bracket 301 is based on the positioning plate 3011. The positioning plate 3011 is connected to the swing arm 1 3012 and the swing arm 2 3013 through a rotating shaft. The flange sleeve 3014 is welded to the end of the swing arm 2 3013 away from the swing arm 1. The flange sleeve 3014 is fixed to the upper end of the pressure roller group 303 by bolts. The rotation of the swing arm 1 3012 and the swing arm 2 3013 can fine-tune the initial angle of the pressure roller to ensure that the pressure roller is parallel to the inner wall of the ring die. After the adjustment is completed, it is fixed by the locking screw between the positioning plate 3011 and the swing arm 1 3012 to avoid angle deviation during extrusion.

[0027] The pitch-variable bracket 302 consists of a pitch-variable disc 3021, a turntable 3022, and a servo motor 3023. The turntable 3022 is mounted on the outside of the pitch-variable disc 3021 via a bearing sleeve. Three sets of pitch-variable slots 3024 are circumferentially defined on the pitch-variable disc 3021. Material-blocking brushes 3026 are located within these slots to prevent material from entering and impacting the drive. The turntable 3022 also has three corresponding sets of positioning slots 3025. The servo motor 3023 is secured within the isolation cover 306. The drive end is connected to the center of the bottom of the turntable 3022 via a coupling, driving the turntable 3022 to rotate relative to the pitch-variable disc 3021.

[0028] The positioning rod 3031 of the pressure roller assembly 303 passes through the pitch-variable slot 3024 of the pitch-variable disc and then slides into the positioning slot 3025 of the turntable. When the servo motor 3023 drives the turntable 3022 to rotate, the positioning slot 3025, via the positioning rod 3031, drives the pressure rollers along the pitch-variable slot 3024. Because the pitch-variable slot 3024 is a radially divergent structure, the pressure rollers move radially toward or away from the center synchronously, achieving synchronized adjustment of the spacing between the three pressure rollers. After adjustment, the locking nut on the positioning rod 3031 secures the pressure rollers to the pitch-variable slot 3024, preventing positional shifting during compression.

[0029] The pressure roller group 303 consists of three pressure rollers evenly distributed around the circumference. The upper end of the pressure roller is connected to the swing arm 2 3013 of the positioning bracket through the flange sleeve 3014, and the lower end is welded with a positioning rod 3031: The driving end of the rotating motor 304 passes through the positioning plate 3011 and is fixedly connected to the center of the pitch-changing plate 3021, driving the positioning bracket, the pitch-changing bracket and the pressure roller group to rotate around the central axis as a whole to achieve revolution; When the pressure roller revolves, its surface contacts the inner wall of the disk die 401 of the ring die mechanism. The friction of the raw material drives the pressure roller to rotate, thus realizing self-rotation. Through the compound motion of "revolution + self-rotation", the raw material in the bin is continuously pushed toward the forming hole on the inner wall of the disk die. The spacing between the three pressure rollers directly affects the gap with the inner wall of the disc mold: the smaller the spacing, the greater the extrusion force between the pressure rollers and the disc mold; the larger the spacing, the smaller the extrusion force, realizing the core logic of adaptive pressure regulation.

[0030] The protective cover 305 on the outside of the rotating motor 304 is fixed to the upper cover 103 to prevent raw materials from entering the interior of the motor. An isolation cover 306 is provided on the outside of the servo motor 3023 of the variable pitch bracket to prevent the raw materials from contaminating the servo motor 3023. The isolation cover 306 is connected to the rotation of the turntable 3022 to ensure stable rotation of the turntable.

[0031] The ring die mechanism 4 adapts to fuel particles of varying shapes and sizes by switching between different disc dies. It consists of multiple disc dies 401 with varying diameters and inner wall pores. The disc dies 401 are annular and nested within one another, with gaps between them. An extension rod 402 is welded to the top of each disc die 401, the top of which is fixedly connected to the piston of a hydraulic cylinder 403. During normal operation, only the innermost disc die 401 is in the working position. When a die needs to be changed, the corresponding hydraulic cylinder 403 is independently controlled. To use a larger-diameter disc die 401, the hydraulic cylinder for the inner, smaller-diameter disc die 401 extends, raising the smaller-diameter disc die 401 and exposing the outer, larger-diameter disc die 401. Conversely, the hydraulic cylinder for the larger-diameter disc die 401 extends, raising it and exposing the inner, smaller-diameter disc die 401. This independent actuation of the hydraulic cylinders 403 allows for rapid switching between different disc dies 401.

[0032] The unloading ring 2 consists of a baffle ring 201 and a unloading tray 202. The unloading tray 202 is provided with a docking groove 203. The RDF fuel particles extruded from the forming holes of the disc die 401 enter the unloading tray 202 through the docking groove 203, slide out of the equipment along the inclined disc surface, and complete the forming output.

[0033] The mold quick change process is as follows: 1. Stop feeding raw materials and suspend the operation of the rotating motor 304; 2. Control the hydraulic cylinder 403 of the corresponding die according to the target fuel size: when a larger diameter die is required, the hydraulic cylinder of the inner smaller die is extended, and the smaller die is lifted out of the working area; 3. After the lower end of the target plate mold is aligned with the docking groove 203 of the blanking plate, the hydraulic cylinder stops moving and the mold replacement is completed; 4. Start the equipment and the new disk module will enter the working state.

[0034] Pressure adjustment is based on the collaborative adaptation logic of "roller spacing" and "disc die adaptation" and is divided into the following two scenarios: Adaptation and adjustment after replacing the plate mold: After replacing a plate mold of a different diameter, start the servo motor 3023 of the pitch-variable bracket to drive the turntable 3022 to rotate, driving the positioning rod 3031 of the pressure roller to move along the pitch-variable groove 3024, and adjust the spacing between the pressure rollers to ensure a reasonable gap between the pressure rollers and the inner wall of the new plate mold; Pressure adjustment without changing the die: Under the same die, if the fuel density needs to be adjusted, the servo motor drives the roller spacing to decrease and the extrusion pressure to increase; if the density needs to be reduced, the roller spacing is increased and the extrusion pressure is reduced to adapt to different raw material characteristics.

[0035] In summary, this system uses hydraulic cylinders to independently drive the lifting and lowering of the disc mold, and different specifications of molds can be switched without disassembly, which greatly shortens the replacement time and realizes efficient mold replacement; the servo motor accurately controls the pressure roller spacing, which can not only adapt to disc molds of different diameters, but also adjust the pressure under the same disc mold, improving the applicability of the equipment and realizing flexible pressure adjustment; the swing arm fixation of the positioning bracket, the locking nut of the variable pitch bracket, the protective cover and the isolation cover are used to ensure the stability of the equipment under long-term high-load extrusion. Through the combination of "quick mold replacement" and "adaptive pressure adjustment", it can meet the molding needs of different RDF fuels and is suitable for diversified production scenarios such as waste treatment plants and biomass power plants.

[0036] The above-mentioned embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
