Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pea gravel pumps, in particular to a pea gravel pump energy-saving system and a pea gravel conveying system. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of the shield TBM, an annular gap will be formed between the pipe segment and the surrounding rock. Pea gravel backfill grouting is used to fill the annular gap. In order to meet the excavation efficiency, the designed pea gravel injection system generally uses two pea gravel pumps to operate simultaneously. The principle of the pea gravel pump is to use air blowing to spray the pea gravel that falls into the rotating pump body along the pipeline to the back filling of the pipe segment. However, the pea gravel pump needs to continuously consume a large amount of industrial air during operation, which consumes huge energy. Therefore, how to achieve energy-saving transportation is of great significance to improving the efficiency of backfill grouting construction and reducing construction costs.

[0003] The existing pea gravel pump injection system mainly controls the air intake by manually adjusting the manual valve of the air intake pipeline. The operator controls the air intake based on the motor speed and load based on experience, and the motor speed is adjusted according to the excavation speed. This method is overly dependent on manual labor, has poor reliability and low accuracy. In actual working conditions, the valve may always be in a fully open state, which consumes a lot of energy and greatly increases the construction cost.

[0004] For example, the invention patent with application number 201911285166.1 discloses a bean gravel pump, which describes the function of promptly shutting down the bean gravel pump when the pipeline is blocked by setting a monitoring device at the end of the injection channel to monitor the bean gravel backfill on the top of the pipe segment, thereby preventing explosion and other accidents caused by untimely detection of pipeline blockage. The bean gravel pump optimizes the safety of pipeline transportation, but does not consider optimizing the gas source control and energy-saving transportation function of the injection pipeline.

[0005] Another example is the utility model patent with patent application number 202321486908.9, which discloses a rotary friction pair lubrication energy-saving system and a bean gravel pump. By collecting the torque parameter signal of the rotary pair to control the grease controller to start, the intermittent injection control of the grease at the position of the rotary friction pair is realized, which effectively reduces the amount of grease and the working time of the grease pump, thereby achieving energy saving and environmental protection. The bean gravel pump takes into account the energy-saving and environmental protection function of the grease system, but does not consider the energy-saving design of the conveying system.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to design an energy-saving solution for the conveying system of the pea gravel pump.

[0043] A pea gravel pump energy saving system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an automatic valve, an air volume sensor 2, and a pressure sensor 4 arranged on the air intake pipeline 7 of the bean gravel pump 5, and the automatic valve, the air volume sensor 2, the pressure sensor 4, and the bean gravel pump 5 are all connected to the control unit.

[0044] In the specific implementation, different types of sensors can be used to measure the air volume data and wind pressure data and feed them back to the control unit.

[0049] On the basis of the above implementation, as a preferred implementation of the pea gravel pump energy-saving system, the control unit and the pressure sensor 4 constitute a negative feedback circuit for controlling the motor speed of the pea gravel pump 5 .

[0050] On the basis of the above implementation, as a preferred implementation of the pea gravel pump energy-saving system, the control unit is an industrial computer 6 or a host computer.

[0051] On the basis of the above implementation, as a preferred implementation of the bean gravel pump energy-saving system, the automatic valve is a pneumatic regulating valve, a hydraulic regulating valve or an electric regulating valve 1. As long as the valve opening can be adjusted, different types of automatic regulating valves can be used.

[0052] A pea gravel conveying system comprises the pea gravel pump energy-saving system described in any one of the above technical solutions, wherein the pea gravel pump 5 is connected to an injection pipeline 8.

[0053] On the basis of the above-mentioned implementation manner, as a preferred implementation manner of the pea gravel conveying system, the injection pipeline 8 is used to inject pea gravel into the back annular cavity of the tunnel lining segment 9.

[0054] As a preferred implementation of the bean gravel conveying system, it includes an electric regulating valve, an air volume sensor, a manual ball valve, a pressure sensor, a bean gravel pump, an industrial computer, pipeline accessories, etc. The air volume sensor and the pressure sensor are installed on the air intake pipeline, and can monitor the air volume and pressure of the air intake pipeline in real time; the electric regulating valve and the manual ball valve are installed on the air intake pipeline, and are used to automatically and manually adjust the size and on-off of the air channel; the industrial controller is installed on the bean gravel pump, and the real-time monitored bean gravel pump motor speed, pressure signal, and air volume signal are fed back to the industrial computer, and after being processed by the PLC, a control signal is sent to the electric regulating valve, thereby adjusting the valve size.

[0055] In the actual operation of this embodiment, the industrial computer system gives a theoretical air volume value based on the collected motor speed and load signal of the bean gravel pump, and compares it with the air volume value monitored by the air volume sensor, so as to adjust the opening of the electric regulating valve of the air intake pipeline in real time to reduce unnecessary air consumption. When the pressure feedback value monitored by the pressure sensor exceeds the reasonable range, the motor speed is timely reduced until the pressure falls back to the theoretical recommended range while ensuring that the air volume remains unchanged.

[0056] Specific as Figure 1 As shown, the electric regulating valve 1 is installed on the air intake pipeline 7, which can automatically adjust the pipeline valve opening; the air volume sensor 2 and the pressure sensor 4 are installed on the air intake pipeline 7, which can monitor the air volume and air pressure of the air intake pipeline in real time; the manual ball valve 3 is installed on the air intake pipeline 7, which can manually adjust the pipeline valve opening; the industrial computer 6 is installed on the bean gravel pump 5, which is used to receive signals, process signals and send control signals; the bean gravel is injected into the annular cavity at the back of the pipe segment through the injection pipeline 8, and the bean gravel injection amount can be matched with different excavation speeds by adjusting the motor speed of the pump.

[0057] The specific control methods are as follows:

[0058] In the excavation mode, the bean gravel pump 5 rotates continuously driven by the motor, receives the bean gravel that falls into its selected pump body, and injects the bean gravel into the back of the pipe segment through the injection pipeline 8. Industrial air continuously provides injection power to the bean gravel pump through the air intake pipeline 7. The motor speed can be adjusted on the industrial computer 6. The air volume sensor 2 and the pressure sensor 4 feed back the monitored air intake volume and air intake pressure to the industrial computer 6. The industrial computer 6 recommends a theoretical air volume value for the received signals - the motor speed and air intake pressure of the bean gravel pump through PLC processing, and compares it with the air volume signal fed back by the air volume sensor 2, and sends a control signal to the electric control valve 1 to adjust the opening size of the electric control valve 1.

[0059] If the theoretical value < monitoring value, the electric control valve reduces the valve opening until the detection value = detection value; if the theoretical value > monitoring value, the electric control valve increases the valve opening until the detection value = detection value, thereby ensuring that the intake volume matches the demand and avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

[0060] When the pressure sensor monitoring value exceeds the reasonable range, the motor speed is reduced in time until the pressure drops back to the theoretical recommended range while ensuring the air volume remains unchanged, avoiding the risk of excessive pressure due to pipeline blockage and improving the safety of the bean gravel pump.

[0061] The parts not described in detail in the present invention are all conventional technical means known to those skilled in the art.
