[0002] In material production management, it is often necessary to measure and monitor the materials stored in storage tanks for accurate inventory management. Through regular or continuous material measurement, enterprises can clearly understand the inventory situation, including inventory quantity, inventory change rate, etc., so as to make reasonable purchasing, production and sales decisions; material measurement is also a key link in production process control. Through real-time monitoring of the amount of material in the storage tank, the enterprise can ensure the continuity and stability of the production line, and adjust the production plan and process parameters in time to cope with various changes in the production process. In addition, through accurate measurement of the amount of material in the storage tank, the enterprise can accurately calculate the production cost, find the source of waste and loss, and take effective measures to reduce costs. Therefore, the measurement and monitoring of materials is particularly important.

[0003] At present, the monitoring of materials in storage tanks on the market often uses liquid level sensing equipment for metering and monitoring. However, liquid level sensing equipment mostly uses pressure and capacitance for detection, which has a good metering effect for liquid materials, but is difficult to apply to solid materials, resulting in difficulty in effective metering and monitoring of solid materials. In view of this, the present application proposes an online monitoring and metering system for storage tank materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an online monitoring and metering system for materials in a storage tank, which uses a photosensitive camera to capture the changes in the number of luminous calibration plates to achieve online metering monitoring of materials in the storage tank. It has a high degree of intelligence and is suitable for metering monitoring and management of different types of materials.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an online monitoring and metering system for storage tank materials, applied to storage tanks for storing materials, the online monitoring and metering system for storage tank materials includes an identification component and a feedback component mounted on the storage tank, the identification component includes a first mounting plate mounted on the top of the storage tank, a calibration plate extending into the storage tank is vertically fixed to the bottom of the first mounting plate, a luminous calibration plate is embedded on one side of the calibration plate facing the middle of the storage tank, and a plurality of luminous calibration plates are arranged at equal intervals; the feedback component includes a second mounting plate mounted on the top of the storage tank away from the first mounting plate, a photosensitive camera extending into the storage tank and capable of identifying the luminous calibration plate is arranged at the bottom of the second mounting plate, and a transceiver antenna connected to the photosensitive camera is arranged at the top of the second mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism comprises a threaded sleeve rotatably mounted on the first mounting plate, a threaded column is vertically threaded through the threaded sleeve, and the bottom end of the threaded column penetrates the first mounting plate and is connected to the scraper.

[0010] Preferably, the driving mechanism also includes a driven gear fixedly mounted on the threaded sleeve, a driving gear is rotatably mounted on the top of the first mounting plate, the driving gear is meshed with the driven gear, and a driving motor for driving the driving gear to rotate is fixedly mounted on the top of the first mounting plate.

[0011] Preferably, a rubber sleeve is embedded on the scraper, and the rubber sleeve is arranged around the calibration plate in a circle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0013] The utility model is provided with an identification component and a feedback component. After the power adapter is powered on, a plurality of luminous calibration plates on the calibration board can emit light under the conductive cooperation of the terminal and the conductive column. The photosensitive camera can capture the number of luminous calibration plates that emit light. When the amount of material in the storage tank increases or decreases, the corresponding number of luminous calibration plates will be blocked, and then the number of luminous calibration plates will decrease or increase accordingly. Therefore, the purpose of metering and monitoring the material in the storage tank can be achieved by capturing the change in the number of luminous calibration plates with the photosensitive camera. In combination with the transceiver antenna, it can receive and send monitoring signals to realize online metering and monitoring. It has a high degree of intelligence and is suitable for metering monitoring and management of different types of materials.

[0014] The utility model arranges a scraper and a driving mechanism. When the material in the storage tank is cleared and the tank is washed, the driving motor is started to drive the driving gear to rotate. The driving gear drives the driven gear to drive the threaded sleeve to rotate. The threaded sleeve drives the threaded column to push the scraper to rise and fall, and drives the rubber sleeve to scrape the surface of the calibration plate. The surface of the calibration plate and the luminous calibration plate can be scraped and cleaned in cooperation with the tank washing to prevent the calibration plate and the luminous calibration plate from adhering to the surface of the material, which makes the light-sensitive camera unable to capture.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
