Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of powder level measuring devices, specifically relating to a mechanical powder silo powder level measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, intermediate storage coal-fired power plants typically install level measuring devices in the pulverized coal silos of boilers to monitor the pulverized coal level. Known methods include radar level monitoring, electrode measurement, ultrasonic ranging, and plumb bob measurement. However, in actual operation, these methods suffer from various limitations. The internal environment of the pulverized coal silo is complex, and automatic measuring devices often exhibit delays and errors (due to the lag and inaccuracy of the values ​​fed back by the DCS). Manual plumb bob methods, using mechanical pulverized coal floats, often lose their measuring ropes due to wear and tear over time. When the float falls onto the upper part of the feeder's baffle plate, it usually blocks the feeder's inlet, preventing pulverized coal from being supplied and affecting the stable operation of the boiler. Currently, there is no satisfactory solution to the problem of ensuring stable boiler operation without affecting the feeder's pulverized coal supply when the float falls. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a mechanical powder silo powder level measuring device, specifically comprising the following:

[0004] A mechanical powder level measuring device for a powder hopper includes a powder float, fasteners, a measuring rope, a pulley assembly, a scale, and a powder marker. The powder float is a hollow cone with at least three side openings and a bottom opening. The upper end of the cone-shaped powder float is connected to one end of the measuring rope via the fasteners. The other end of the measuring rope passes through the pulley assembly and is connected to the powder marker. The scale is vertically positioned, and the powder marker is located on one side of the scale. The fasteners can be rope fasteners or similar devices, as long as they enable the connection between the powder float and the measuring rope.

[0005] Preferably, the lateral opening of the cone is a fan-shaped opening, wherein the central angle of the fan is not less than 30° and the radius is not less than half the length of the lateral side of the cone.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom opening is a circular opening, and the diameter of the circular opening is not less than half the diameter of the bottom surface of the cone.

[0007] Preferably, the pulley assembly includes a first pulley, a second pulley, and a connecting rod, with the first and second pulleys respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting rod; the other end of the measuring rope passes through the top of the first and second pulleys in sequence and is connected to the powder marker.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] The powder float of the mechanical powder silo level measuring device disclosed in this utility model is a hollow cone. The cone has at least three side openings on its sides and a bottom opening on its base. The hollow structure of the powder float, combined with the side and bottom openings, forms a perforated structure. This not only meets the needs of powder level measurement but also ensures that powdery material can pass through the perforated structure of the powder float if the measuring rope accidentally breaks and the powder float falls into the powder feeder, preventing blockage and ensuring the normal operation of the powder feeder. Furthermore, the powder float and measuring rope are connected by fasteners, ensuring a tighter connection and reducing the risk of the powder float falling off. Attached Figure Description
