[0040] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0041] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0042] The embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] The present invention provides a bottom-blown pulverized coal injection system for a smelting furnace that can be monitored in real time, including a mixing device and a control system.
[0044] The mixing device is equipped with a stirring motor M and a mixing tank. The specific structure of the mixing device, stirring motor M and mixing tank can be referred to the bottom-blown pulverized coal injection system of the bottom-blown smelting furnace disclosed in Chinese Patent (title: A bottom-blown pulverized coal injection system for a smelting furnace, announcement number: CN 217083289 U, announcement date: 2022.07.29).
[0045] The control system is connected to the mixing device. The control system automatically controls the start and stop of the stirring motor M by detecting the concentration of pulverized coal in the mixing tank. The stirring motor M stops when the pulverized coal and oxygen-enriched air are fully mixed (within the normal range).
[0046] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By connecting the control system to the mixing device, the concentration of pulverized coal in the mixing tank can be detected in real time, and the start and stop of the stirring motor M can be automatically controlled. Once the pulverized coal and oxygen-enriched air are fully mixed, the stirring motor M stops, thus ensuring the uniformity of the mixing and avoiding the problem of uneven mixing affecting the reaction effect.
[0047] Furthermore, the control system includes a concentration sensor, a motor drive module, and a controller.
[0048] A concentration sensor is installed inside the mixing tank to detect the concentration of pulverized coal inside the mixing tank;
[0049] The motor drive module is connected to the stirring motor M, and the motor drive module sends a motor drive signal to drive the stirring motor M.
[0050] The controller is connected to the concentration sensor to receive the pulverized coal concentration value transmitted from the sensor; the controller is also connected to the motor drive module, and sends motor drive signals to the motor drive module.
[0051] When the concentration sensor detects that the concentration of pulverized coal in the mixing tank is within the normal range, the controller sends a motor start signal from the motor drive signal to the motor drive module, which then controls the stirring motor M to start. When the concentration sensor detects that the concentration of pulverized coal in the mixing tank is outside the normal range, the controller sends a motor stop signal from the motor drive signal to the motor drive module, which then controls the stirring motor M to stop.
[0052] Furthermore, the controller is connected to a display screen to show the current concentration of pulverized coal in the mixing tank.
[0053] Furthermore, the controller uses an STM32 microcontroller.
[0054] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, the motor drive module includes a current-limiting resistor R3, an LED1, and an LED2 connected in sequence; a phototransistor PT1, a phototransistor PT2, and a current-limiting resistor R1 connected in sequence; a phototransistor PT3, a phototransistor PT4, and a current-limiting resistor R2 connected in sequence; and a current-limiting resistor R4, an LED3, and an LED4 connected in sequence.
[0055] A controllable switch SW and a stirring motor M are connected in series between the emitter of phototransistor PT1 and the emitter of phototransistor PT3.
[0056] Among them, the cathode of LED2, current-limiting resistors R1 and R2, and the cathode of LED4 are grounded; current-limiting resistors R3 and R4 are connected to the controller.
[0057] The controllable switch SW is connected to the controller;
[0058] LED1 and PT1 form an optocoupler; the optocoupler provides electrical isolation.
[0059] LED2 and PT2 form an optocoupler pair.
[0060] The light-emitting diode LED3 and the phototransistor PT3 form an optocoupler pair;
[0061] The light-emitting diode LED4 and the phototransistor PT4 form an optocoupler pair;
[0062] Phototransistors PT1 and PT4 are NPN type phototransistors when they are turned on;
[0063] Phototransistors PT2 and PT3 are PNP type phototransistors when they are turned on;
[0064] Current-limiting resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 are used to prevent excessive current in the corresponding circuits.
[0065] The working principle of this motor drive module is as follows:
[0066] If the stirring motor M can only rotate in one direction, the controller outputs a high level and enters the circuit of the current limiting resistor R3, LED1, and LED2.
[0067] The controller outputs a low level, which enters the circuit of current-limiting resistor R4, LED3, and LED4;
[0068] At this time, phototransistors PT1 and PT4 are turned on, while phototransistors PT2 and PT3 are turned off.
[0069] When the controller outputs a closed switch signal, it enters the controllable switch SW. The current flows from VCC through the phototransistor PT1, the controllable switch SW, the stirring motor M, the phototransistor PT4, and the current-limiting resistor R2 to ground, and the stirring motor M starts. When the controller outputs an open switch signal, it enters the controllable switch SW, and the stirring motor M stops.
[0070] If the stirring motor M can only rotate in both directions, and it is necessary for the stirring motor M to rotate in the opposite direction, the controller outputs a low level and enters the circuit of the current limiting resistor R3, LED1, and LED2.
[0071] The controller outputs a high level and enters the circuit of current-limiting resistor R4, LED3, and LED4;
[0072] At this time, phototransistors PT1 and PT4 are cut off, while phototransistors PT2 and PT3 are turned on.
[0073] When the controller outputs a closed switch signal, it enters the controllable switch SW. The current flows from VCC through the phototransistor PT3, the stirring motor M, the controllable switch SW, the phototransistor PT2, and the current-limiting resistor R1 to ground, and the stirring motor M starts. When the controller outputs an open switch signal, it enters the controllable switch SW, and the stirring motor M stops.
[0074] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 2As shown, the current-limiting resistors R1 and R2 are replaced with variable resistors. The current-limiting resistor R1 is replaced with a variable resistor VR1, and the current-limiting resistor R2 is replaced with a variable resistor VR2. These are used to adjust the current in the circuit containing the stirring motor M, thereby adjusting the speed of the stirring motor M and matching the rated current of different models of stirring motor M.
[0075] Furthermore, in order to improve the response speed of the controllable switch, the controllable switch SW is an electronic switch.
[0076] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 As shown, LED1 and LED2 are connected in series with a NOT gate, and LED3 and LED4 are connected in series with a NOT gate; all phototransistors are replaced with photoresistors.
[0077] Phototransistors PT1, PT2, PT3, and PT4 are replaced with photoresistors LDR1, LDR2, LDR3, and LDR4, respectively.
[0078] The photoresistor scheme is similar to the phototransistor scheme, but to ensure that photoresistors LDR1 and LDR2 do not conduct simultaneously, LED1 and LED2 cannot light up at the same time. Therefore, NOT gate NOT1 is connected in series between LED1 and LED2. To ensure that photoresistors LDR3 and LDR4 do not conduct simultaneously, LED3 and LED4 cannot light up at the same time. Therefore, NOT gate NOT2 is connected in series between LED3 and LED4.
[0079] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, the controllable switch current-limiting resistors R1 and R2 are each connected in parallel with a filter capacitor. The current-limiting resistor R1 is connected in parallel with the filter capacitor C1, and the current-limiting resistor R2 is connected in parallel with the filter capacitor C2, which are used to filter out high-frequency noise.
[0080] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, all variable resistors are connected in parallel with a filter capacitor. Variable resistor VR1 is connected in parallel with filter capacitor C3, and variable resistor VR2 is connected in parallel with filter capacitor C4, used to filter out high-frequency noise.
