Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal gangue testing equipment, specifically a thermogravimetric analysis system for heavy metals and major elements in coal gangue. Background Technology

[0002] With the large accumulation of coal gangue, prolonged exposure to the air can easily cause air and soil pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the research and utilization of coal gangue. Coal gangue needs to undergo thermogravimetric analysis, which is the standard method for measuring organic, inorganic and synthetic materials. Simply put, thermogravimetric analysis is the measurement of weight loss at a specific temperature or during the heating process.

[0003] A thermogravimetric analysis device disclosed in patent document CN208043587U includes a furnace, a heating component, a control component, and a weighing component. The heating component is located around the periphery of the furnace. The weighing component is installed below the furnace and is used to weigh the sample inside the furnace in real time. The control component is connected to both the weighing component and the heating component and is used to determine the sample weight fluctuation range based on the sample weight value from the weighing component, thereby controlling the heating component to adjust the sample weight fluctuation range. In use, this technical solution changes the heating curve by judging the upper and lower fluctuation range of the sample weight, adjusting the sample weight fluctuation range within a preset threshold to avoid sample boiling and thus avoid the impact of splashing caused by boiling on the test results. However, while this solution effectively avoids sample boiling, it cannot sample and test the material again after heating, and it cannot filter out excess harmful gases during sampling and testing, resulting in inconvenience in use.

Simultaneously, the heating column moves upward, its surface contacting and scraping against a conical groove. This scraping removes solid impurities adhering to the heating column. Simultaneously, airflow carries these solid impurities into a collection box for sampling. After sampling, the sample is heated and then analyzed. The results are then compared with the initial content of the raw material.

On the side of the ring seat 29, a heating column 22 is fixed to the bottom, a protective tube 21 is fixed to the side of the heating column 22, a filter groove 23 is opened on the side of the protective tube 21, one end of the protective tube 21 is fixed to the ring seat 29, a conical groove 40 is opened on the ring seat 29, an igniter is fixed to one end of the heating column 22, the lifting mechanism 5 is a linear reciprocating electric push rod, the lifting mechanism 5 pushes the heating column 22 up and down through the conical seat 31, the up and down movement of the heating column 22 facilitates heating and realizes subsequent sampling.

[0032] In this embodiment, a connecting hole 39 is fixed to the side of the conical groove 40, and an extraction ring pipe 38 is fixed to one end of the connecting hole 39. The extraction ring pipe 38 is connected to the fixed ring pipe 30. An exhaust fan 36 is fixed to one end of the horizontal pipe 35, and an exhaust pipe 37 is fixed to the exhaust fan 36. One end of the exhaust pipe 37 is movably installed inside the conical tube 19. A one-way exhaust valve is fixed inside the conical tube 1. A heat insulation control box is fixed inside the box body 1. A detection system is fixedly installed inside the heat insulation control box. The detection system includes a temperature detection module and a pressure detection module. The temperature detection module monitors the temperature of the material after heating in real time, and the pressure detection module monitors the weight of the crucible 26 in real time. The conical tube 19 is sealed to the exhaust pipes 37 of different diameters under the compression of the threaded column 42, so that the gas inside the exhaust pipe 37 can enter the water tank 8 for filtration.

[0033] Working principle: In use, the movable seat 3 slides inside the slot 12 via the bottom slider. After sliding, the opening 11 opens, and the required material is added to the crucible 26. The crucible 26 is mounted on the support 25. The heating seat 17 is vertically and dynamically mounted around the support 25, without contacting the support 25 to avoid weighing errors in the weighing component 13. In use, the lifting mechanism 5 is activated to push the conical seat 31 and the heating column 22 downward. After the heating column 22 moves downward, it is inserted into the material inside the crucible 26. The electric heating wire inside the heating column 22 generates high temperature, and the fan 15 generates airflow. The airflow flows slowly inside the heating seat 17, carrying heat upward from the periphery of the crucible 26. Through the dual heating of the heating seat 17 and the heating column 22, the material inside the crucible 26 is rapidly dried. After drying, the heating column 22 moves upward and is removed from the crucible 26, and the heating column 33 is removed from the material of the crucible 26. The weight change of the material inside the crucible 26 is detected by the weighing component 13. When it is necessary to ignite the material inside the crucible 26, combustion-supporting material can be placed inside the crucible 26. After the ignition switch on the heating column 22 is ignited, the heating column 22 moves upward and separates from the crucible 26. When the material inside the crucible 26 is heated, the exhaust fan 36 is started to draw the gas generated inside into the extraction ring pipe 38 through the protective pipe 21. The harmful gas in the extraction ring pipe 38 enters the fixed ring pipe 30 and the horizontal pipe 35 and is discharged outward. It enters the water tank 8 through the exhaust pipe 37 and the conical pipe 19. The gas inside the conical pipe 19 is discharged from the opening 41 after passing through the one-way control valve. The gas rolls in the water to filter and adsorb the harmful substances in the gas.

[0034] After combustion, the heating column 22 is moved downwards to contact the material again. After contact, the heating column 22 moves upwards. When the heating column 22 with solid impurities moves to the conical groove 40, the conical groove 40 scrapes off the solid impurities on the surface of the heating column 22. During scraping, the extraction ring pipe 38 evacuates air again. The evacuation causes the gas to carry dust from the connecting hole 39 into the fixed ring pipe 30. The gas carries the dust through the extraction pipe 32 into the collection box 33 for collection. After collection, the dust collection box is pulled out to remove the solid impurities inside. After removal, testing is performed to complete the testing of the material after heating the coal gangue. The threaded column 42 is rotated to return the conical tube 19 to its original position. At the same time, the conical tube 19 is returned to its original position and the opening 41 is blocked and sealed. One end of the conical tube 19 is separated from the exhaust pipe 37. The water tank 8 is moved upward and removed. After removal, the solid impurities inside are centrally processed. The blower 15 is started to blow out cold air. The electric heating wire inside the heating seat 17 is not working. The cold air flows from the side of the crucible 26 to cool it down, which facilitates the quick removal of the crucible 26 later.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
