[0019] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] EMBODIMENT
[0021] In this embodiment, the anti-tilting intelligent chip barrel comprises an inner barrel 1, an outer barrel 2 and a control module.
[0022] As shown in Figure 1 , the outer bottom of the inner barrel 1 has a recessed part 11 and a protruding part 12, and the recessed part 11 has a first interlocking sensor 11a.
[0023] The inner bottom of the outer barrel 2 has a protruding support platform 25, and the position and shape of the support platform 25 are matched with the recessed part 11. The support platform 25 is provided with a second interlocking sensor 25a, and the position of the second interlocking sensor 25a corresponds to the position of the first interlocking sensor 11a.
[0024] When the inner barrel 1 is placed in the outer barrel 2, the recessed part 11 is placed on the support platform 25, and the first interlocking sensor 11a and the second interlocking sensor 25a are in butt joint and sensing, so as to determine whether the inner barrel 1 is in the outer barrel 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, the second interlocking inductor 25a is a signal transmitter; the first interlocking inductor 11a is a signal receiver. When the first interlocking inductor 11a receives the signal transmitted by the second interlocking inductor 25a, the control module determines that the inner bucket 1 is installed in the outer bucket 2, and the abnormal tilting monitoring is started. If the second interlocking inductor 25a does not receive the signal, it means that the inner bucket 1 is not in the outer bucket 2, and the outer bucket 2 is in an idle state, which theoretically does not need to monitor its tilting state; of course, the outer bucket 2 can also continuously monitor whether it tilts in the idle state, but it does not contain chemical products, and the tilting state does not need to be alarmed. Of course, the second interlocking inductor 25a can be a signal transmitter and a signal receiver; the first interlocking inductor 11a is a signal reflector.
[0026] In this embodiment, the protruding part 12 of the inner bucket 1 is concentric with the bottom of the inner bucket 1; the first interlocking inductor 11a is located at the center of the concentric circle. The support table 25 is a circle matched with the protruding part 12, and the second interlocking inductor 25a is located at the center of the support table 25. In this way, when the inner bucket 1 is placed in the outer bucket 2, there is no need to check the positions of the first and second interlocking inductors, and the two naturally coincide together, otherwise the inner and outer bucket alignment structure needs to be added.
[0027] The inner bucket 1 has a lifting lug 15 on the upper part. When the inner bucket 1 needs to be tilted to pour the internal chemical solution during the production process, the production equipment hooks the lifting lug 15 to lift the inner bucket 1 out of the outer bucket 2. At this time, the first interlocking inductor 11a cannot receive the signal transmitted by the second interlocking inductor 25a, and the control module can not monitor the tilting state of the outer bucket at this time.
[0028] In order to prevent the inner bucket 1 from being placed in the outer bucket 2 after completing the pouring process and before the next filling, the abnormal tilting of the inner bucket 1 cannot be monitored, so two pressure sensors 12a are arranged on the protruding part 12 of the inner bucket 1. The height difference H between the support table and the inner bottom of the outer bucket 2 is greater than the height difference h between the recessed part 11 and the protruding part 12; in this way, when the inner bucket 1 is placed in the outer bucket 2, the lower part of the pressure sensor 12a at the bottom of the inner bucket 1 has a gap with the bottom of the outer bucket 2, and the pressure sensor 12a will not receive the pressure signal.
[0029] When the outer bucket is directly placed on the ground or the conveying surface, and the pressure sensor 12a exceeds the rated pressure at this time, the control module issues a non-compliance alarm. The rated pressure can be set according to the weight of the inner bucket 1 itself. When the inner bucket 1 is in an empty state, it is below the rated pressure value and will not alarm. When the solution starts to be filled, it exceeds the rated pressure value and alarms.
[0030] In addition, if the inner barrel 1 does not pour out the liquid in the inner barrel 1 at one time during production, and the production equipment directly places the inner barrel 1 on the production equipment or the ground, the control module issues a non-compliance alarm. In this way, it is ensured that the inner barrel 1 is not placed separately from the outer barrel 2 in a state of containing liquid, and safety is ensured.
[0031] When the inner barrel 1 is placed in the outer barrel 2, the recess 11 is placed on the support table 25, and the first interlocking sensor 11a and the second interlocking sensor 25a are in abutting sensing; at this time, the control module receives the information monitored by the sensing module, and calculates the inclination of the outer barrel 2. When the inclination of the outer barrel 2 exceeds the rated inclination, the control module issues an abnormal pouring alarm.
[0032] That is, the inner barrel 1 is not executed during production pouring when it is loaded into the outer barrel 2. At this time, it is necessary to monitor whether the outer barrel 2 has an accidental pouring condition during movement in real time, and the inner barrel 1 and the outer barrel 2 are in the same state.
[0033] The outer barrel 2 is provided with a sensing module. When the inner barrel 1 is placed in the outer barrel 2, the first interlocking sensor 11a and the second interlocking sensor 25a are in abutting sensing; at this time, the control module receives the information monitored by the sensing module, and calculates the inclination of the outer barrel 2. When the inclination of the outer barrel 2 exceeds the rated inclination, the control module issues an abnormal pouring alarm.
[0034] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer barrel 2 includes an inner barrel wall 21 and an outer barrel wall 22; a detection liquid 23 is arranged between the inner barrel wall 21 and the outer barrel wall 22; the cross section of the detection liquid 23 is a circular ring shape, and the effective monitoring area of the detection liquid 23 is maximized under the premise of minimum increase in the barrel body volume, and the liquid surface amplitude is more obvious when it is shaken. The detection liquid 23 selects a liquid that is not easy to react according to the material of the outer barrel 2.
[0035] In addition, at least one waterproof air valve 22a is arranged on the outer barrel wall 22, so that the detection liquid 23 is communicated with the atmosphere, and the liquid surface is in a free state without pressure, and the barrel body naturally fluctuates.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sensing module includes four liquid level transmitters 3, which are circumferentially distributed at the positions of the circular ring-shaped detection liquid; of course, a non-uniform distribution state is also possible. The liquid level transmitters 3 can be selected from magnetostrictive transmitters or float ball liquid level transmitters, and these two transmitters belong to the prior art and will not be described here. Taking the magnetostrictive transmitter as an example, the lower end of the probe rod of the magnetostrictive transmitter is fixed in the groove at the bottom between the inner barrel wall 21 and the outer barrel wall 22. The magnetic float 31 of the magnetostrictive transmitter fluctuates with the fluctuation of the detection liquid 23, so that the liquid level height of the detection liquid 23 at the point can be obtained.
[0037] In this embodiment, the control module can be built-in on the outer barrel 2. The control module can set the coordinate origin and reference plane as needed, taking the inner barrel 1 inner bottom as the reference plane, and the origin as the coordinate origin, i.e. (0, 0, 0). The control module stores the position information of each liquid level transmitter 3, i.e. X, Y coordinates, which are determined values when the magnetostrictive transmitter is installed on the outer barrel 2.
[0038] The Z value of the liquid level transmitter 3 is constantly changing with the fluctuation of the magnetic float 31 with the detection liquid 23. If the outer barrel 2 is tilted, the magnetic float 31 of the magnetostrictive transmitter at different positions will show different heights, and the position of the magnetic float 31 is the height value of the detection liquid 23, i.e. the Z coordinate value.
[0039] The liquid level transmitter 3 provides the obtained Z coordinate of the corresponding position to the control module. The control module can obtain the (X, Y, Z) coordinate value of the detection liquid at the point of each magnetostrictive transmitter. According to the prior art of calculating a plane from three points on a non-straight line, the control module calculates the equation of the plane where the detection liquid 23 is located. It should be noted that the coordinate system is a relative coordinate system with (0, 0, 0) as the center, and the absolute position will change with the position of the outer barrel 2.
[0040] The control module calculates the current liquid surface inclination according to the plane position of the detection liquid 23 and the reference plane. The control module is pre-set with a rated value of liquid surface inclination; when the control module calculates the current liquid surface inclination greater than the rated value of liquid surface inclination, the control module sends an inclination alarm information, indicating that the current barrel body has an abnormal dumping, i.e. a dumping process in the production process.
[0041] In this embodiment, the control module is pre-set with a safety height rated value of each liquid level transmitter 3; when the control module obtains the height position information of the detection liquid 23 greater than the safety height rated value, the control module sends a height alarm information. The safety height of the liquid level transmitter 3 represents the height at which the delivered liquid may or has reached the overflow, reminding the operator to check.
[0042] In theory, three level transmitters 3 are enough to achieve monitoring. However, if one level transmitter 3 fails during the transfer, that is, the Z value at one position is wrong, the whole calculation will be wrong and the wrong judgment will be made. In order to prevent such events from happening, four level transmitters 3 are set. Four sets of data permutation and combination can be calculated at most 4 times. The control module calculates the 3-4 plane position according to the four sets of data permutation and combination of the four level transmitters 3. When the error of the 3-4 plane is less than the error standard value, the average value of the 3-4 inclination is calculated as the final output value. It is indicated that all level transmitters 3 are in normal state. When the error of the 3-4 plane is greater than the error standard value, the current liquid surface inclination with the largest inclination is taken as the final output value, and an abnormality prompt is sent. This situation indicates that the Z value of one level transmitter 3 is wrong. If the problem cannot be checked immediately, the inclination with the largest inclination is taken as the judgment standard first. When the checking condition is met, the maintenance is carried out immediately.
[0043] In the embodiment, the control module can be built-in on the outer barrel 2, and all the data received and calculated are transmitted to the upper control device through wireless transmission. Of course, the control module is arranged on the upper control device, and after receiving the detection liquid 23 height position information monitored by the level transmitter 3 through wireless transmission, corresponding calculation is carried out.
[0044] The inclination of the outer barrel 2 can also be achieved by other ways in the prior art. Although the present application is developed for the abnormal pouring of liquid chemical materials, it can also be applied to whether the container carrying solid materials is poured abnormally. The inner and outer barrel bodies can be configured with lifting lugs, barrel covers and mechanical structures convenient for pouring, etc. The barrel body structure is not limited to the embodiment.
[0045] The above-described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
