DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a material blockage detection switch for a chute, wherein a through hole is provided on the outer side surface of the chute 16, and the material blockage detection switch comprises a first metal sensing sheet 1, a second metal sensing sheet 2, a third metal sensing sheet 3, a fourth metal sensing sheet 4, a Hall switch 5, a first support 6 and a controller, wherein the first support 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the chute 16 and is located above the through hole, the Hall switch 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the chute 16 and is located below the through hole, one end of the first metal sensing sheet 1 is rotatably connected to the first support 6, the other end of the first metal sensing sheet 1 extends vertically downward, the other end of the first metal sensing sheet 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the second metal sensing sheet 2, and the connection between the first metal sensing sheet 1 and the second metal sensing sheet 2 is located on the outer side of the top of the through hole, The other end of the second metal sensor sheet 2 extends to the inside of the chute 16 after passing through the through hole at an angle downward, and the other end of the second metal sensor sheet 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the third metal sensor sheet 3, and the connection between the second metal sensor sheet 2 and the third metal sensor sheet 3 is located inside the chute 16. The other end of the third metal sensor sheet 3 extends to the outside of the chute 16 after passing through the through hole at an angle downward, and the other end of the third metal sensor sheet 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the fourth metal sensor sheet 4, and the connection between the third metal sensor sheet 3 and the fourth metal sensor sheet 4 is located on the outside of the bottom of the through hole. The fourth metal sensor sheet 4 is horizontally arranged and located above the Hall switch 5, and the fourth metal sensor sheet 4 is connected to the Hall switch 5 by electromagnetic induction; the Hall switch 5 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0022] By arranging the first metal sensing sheet 1, the second metal sensing sheet 2, the third metal sensing sheet 3, the fourth metal sensing sheet 4, the Hall switch 5, the first support 6 and the controller, when the dumped material is blocked inside the chute 16, the material in the chute 16 is easy to touch the second metal sensing sheet 2 and the third metal sensing sheet 3 and generate a force to push the second metal sensing sheet 2 and the third metal sensing sheet 3 to the outside of the chute 16, thereby causing the first metal sensing sheet 1 to rotate along the first support 6, thereby driving the fourth metal sensing sheet 4 to rotate; since the fourth metal sensing sheet 4 is horizontally located above the Hall switch 5 and is electrically connected to the Hall switch 5 Magnetic induction connection, when the fourth metal induction sheet 4 rotates, it will tilt, so that the electromagnetic induction signal between the fourth metal induction sheet 4 and the Hall switch 5 will change, and the Hall switch 5 will send the changed signal to the controller. The controller determines that there is a blockage in the chute 16 according to the changed signal, and then controls the belt conveyor 17 and the mechanical equipment for dumping materials to pause. It not only realizes the automatic detection of the blockage of the chute 16, but also realizes the linkage control of the belt conveyor 17 and the mechanical equipment for dumping materials, which not only saves labor costs, but also can timely detect the blockage of the chute 16 and take measures, avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents and reducing the impact on production.
[0023] In a specific implementation manner, a period of time is preset for the controller, and this period of time is the shortest time that the controller receives the changing signal sent by the Hall switch 5; when the controller receives the electromagnetic induction signal sent by the Hall switch 5 for a continuous period without change, it proves that the electromagnetic induction between the Hall switch 5 and the fourth metal sensor sheet 4 is good and unchanged, and the fourth metal sensor sheet 4 does not rotate or tilt, thereby, the controller can determine that there is no blockage in the current chute 16; when the controller receives the electromagnetic induction signal sent by the Hall switch 5 for a change, and the duration of the changing signal sent by the Hall switch 5 exceeds the time preset by the controller, it proves that the electromagnetic induction between the Hall switch 5 and the fourth metal sensor sheet 4 changes, and the fourth metal sensor sheet 4 rotates and tilts, thereby, the controller can determine that there is a blockage in the current chute 16, and the controller controls the mechanical equipment for dumping materials and the belt conveyor 17 to stop working, and starts the mechanical equipment for dumping materials and the belt conveyor 17 after the blocked material in the chute 16 is cleared.
[0024] By presetting a period of time for the controller, and only when the controller receives a changing signal sent by the Hall switch 5 and the duration of the changing signal exceeds the time preset by the controller, the controller determines that there is a blockage in the chute 16, thereby preventing the material from accidentally touching the second metal sensor sheet 2 or the third metal sensor sheet 3 to cause a change in the electromagnetic induction signal, causing the controller to make an erroneous judgment.
[0025] It should be noted that Figure 1The structure shown in the figure is to more clearly show the positional relationship between the blockage detection switch, the chute 16 and the belt conveyor 17. The specific sizes of the blockage detection switch, the chute 16 and the belt conveyor 17 should be designed and adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0026] Optionally, a blockage detection switch for a chute also includes a first baffle 7, one end of the first baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the chute 16 and close to the top of the through hole, and the other end of the first baffle 7 extends obliquely downward toward the interior of the chute 16, and the first baffle 7 is located on the inner side of the second metal sensor sheet 2.
[0027] When pouring materials into the chute 16, the first baffle 7 can be provided to prevent the materials from accidentally touching the second metal sensor sheet 2, thereby preventing the material blockage detection switch from accidentally touching.
[0028] Optionally, a material blockage detection switch for a chute further includes a limit plate 8 , one end of the limit plate 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first baffle 7 , and the other end of the limit plate 8 extends obliquely downward toward the outside of the chute 16 .
[0029] Optionally, a blockage detection switch for a chute also includes a second support 9 and a second baffle 10, wherein the second support 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the chute 16 and is located below the through hole, one end of the second baffle 10 is rotatably connected to the second support 9, and the other end of the second baffle 10 abuts against the limit plate 8.
[0030] In a specific implementation, when the dumped material blocks the chute 16 , the material pushes the second baffle 10 , and the second baffle 10 pushes the third metal sensor sheet 3 , thereby causing the fourth metal sensor sheet 4 to rotate.
[0031] When the material pushes the second baffle 10, the second baffle 10 can prevent the material in the chute 16 from leaking out of the through hole; when the blockage in the chute 16 is cleared, the second baffle 10 can be stopped against the limit plate 8 when rotating along the second support 9 toward the inside of the chute 16, thereby preventing the second baffle 10 from rotating excessively and failing to play the role of preventing leakage.
[0032] Optionally, the first angle 11 between the first metal sensing sheet 1 and the second metal sensing sheet 2 is 135°, the second angle 12 between the second metal sensing sheet 2 and the third metal sensing sheet 3 is 75°, and the third angle 13 between the third metal sensing sheet 3 and the fourth metal sensing sheet 4 is 120°.
[0033] It should be noted that the second angle 12 of 75° in the present invention is the preferred angle for the material blocking detection switch to realize the detection function. If the second angle 12 becomes smaller or larger, the length of the second metal sensing sheet 2 and the third metal sensing sheet 3 in the chute 16 may be too long or too short. When material blocking occurs in the chute 16, the electromagnetic induction signal between the fourth metal sensing sheet 4 and the Hall switch 5 changes slightly during the process of the material pushing the second metal sensing sheet 2 and the third metal sensing sheet 3. The Hall switch 5 sends the changed signal to the controller, making it impossible for the controller to determine whether there is material blocking in the chute 16.
[0034] Optionally, a blockage detection switch for a chute also includes a third support 14 and a protective cover 15, the third support 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the chute 16 and is located above the first support 6, the longitudinal section of the protective cover 15 is an inverted L-shape, one end of the protective cover 15 is rotatably connected to the third support 14, and the first metal sensor sheet 1, the fourth metal sensor sheet 4, the Hall switch 5 and the first support 6 are all located between the outer side of the chute 16 and the protective cover 15.
[0035] By installing a protective cover 15 on the outside of the chute 16, dust impurities in the external environment can be prevented from affecting the Hall switch 5; and the protective cover 15 can also rotate along with the rotation of the fourth metal sensor plate 4, while protecting the fourth metal sensor plate 4 and the Hall switch 5, it can also ensure the freedom of rotation of the fourth metal sensor plate 4.
[0036] Optionally, the first metal sensing sheet 1 , the second metal sensing sheet 2 , the third metal sensing sheet 3 , and the fourth metal sensing sheet 4 are all made of nickel-plated iron sheets or galvanized iron sheets.
[0037] The Hall switch 5 used in the present invention has the characteristics of high precision and fast response. The Hall switch 5 can produce more accurate induction when combined with a nickel-plated iron sheet or a galvanized iron sheet, further improving the induction sensitivity and response speed of the Hall switch 5.
[0038] Optionally, the through hole is located near the bottom of the chute 16. Since the materials are accumulated from bottom to top in the chute 16 when the materials are blocked, the through hole is arranged near the bottom of the chute 16, so that the blocking situation can be found in time when the blocking materials are small, so that timely measures can be taken.
[0039] In summary, the material blockage detection switch provided by the utility model can promptly provide feedback to the controller when a material blockage occurs in the chute 16, thereby preventing the material blockage from seriously affecting production; and the utility model uses the Hall switch 5 as the sensing element of the material blockage detection switch, so that the material blockage detection switch has the advantages of high precision and fast response, which is more conducive to detecting the material blockage in the chute 16.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
