[0002] The finished pellets produced by the rotary kiln-grate system are in the state of high-temperature red balls. The process requires that they enter the ring cooler for cooling before being transported to the ironmaking plant.

These bulk materials will automatically roll into the bulk material collection bin at the bottom of the ring cooler. On-site production workers will regularly open the discharge valve at the bottom of the bulk material collection bin to discharge the bulk materials into the transport cart and transport them away. Since the pellet bulk materials contain debris and dust, dust pollution will be generated during the unloading of the bulk materials into the cart, and there may be uncooled high-temperature red balls.

[0031] The working principle of the dust removal and cooling function of the pellet bulk material using the utility model in the embodiment is as follows:
[0032] The flap valve 2-1 is in the manually closed state, the flap valve 2-2 is in the manually opened state, the discharge bin 2 is in the empty state, the electric control unit is powered on and starts working; the PLC controller 12-4 makes the damper actuator 4 in the closed state, and the dust removal fan 7 is in the stopped state. The pelletized bulk material produced on the ring cooler falls into the bulk material collection bin 1.
[0033] When the height of the pellet bulk exceeds the height of the collecting bin rotary resistance level meter 8, the PLC controller 12-4 opens the collecting bin flap valve 2-1, and the pellet bulk begins to enter the discharge bin 2. At the same time, the PLC controller 12-4 starts the dust removal fan 7, and the device enters the dust removal and cooling state. The PLC controller 12-4 calculates the opening of the actuator 4 once per second through the built-in PID control algorithm, and sends the opening setting value to the actuator 4 through the analog output module 12-5, and opens the actuator to the calculated opening, thereby controlling the negative pressure of the air inlet duct 3 at -0.5Kpa, and the cooling air enters the discharge bin 2 from the damper actuator 4, and then is sent to the dust collector by the dust removal fan 7. At this time, the cooling air will take away the dust and heat in the pellet bulk, achieving the purpose of dust removal and cooling. When the pellet level in the discharge bin 2 is higher than the discharge bin rotary resistance level meter 9, the PLC controller 12-4 closes the collection bin flap valve 2-1, and the dust removal fan continues to work for 3 minutes, and then determines whether the wind temperature detected by the temperature transmitter 11 is higher than 60°C; if it is higher than 60°C, the dust removal fan 7 continues to work until the wind temperature is lower than 60°C and the fan stops working.
[0034] After the dust removal fan 7 stops working, the PLC controller 12-4 sets the opening of the damper actuator 4 to 0, turns on the buzzer 12-1, and notifies the on-site operator to perform the unloading operation. The on-site operator can open the unloading bin flap valve 2-2 through the unloading button 12-3 on the electric control box 12 to perform the unloading action.
[0035] When the opening time of the flap valve 2-2 of the discharge bin is greater than 50 seconds, the PLC controller 12-4 automatically closes the flap valve 2-2. Then, the PLC controller 12-4 performs the operation of step (2) again, and the cycle continues.
[0036] (5) In the overheating fault state of the dust removal fan 7, the valve opening and closing signals of the collection bin flap valve 2-1 and the discharge bin flap valve 2-2 can be detected through the corresponding input port of the digital input and output module 12-7. When the PLC controller 12-4 detects that the dust removal fan 7 is overheated and the flap valves 2-1 and 2-2 are not fully opened or closed as instructed, the PLC controller 12-4 will generate a fault signal. When the dust removal fan 7 of this device is in operation, the design index controls the negative pressure of the air inlet duct 3 to -0.5Kpa to effectively suck the dust in the pelletized bulk into the dust collector. If the pressure of the pressure transmitter 10 detected by the analog input module 12-6 is greater than -0.4Kpa after the dust removal fan 7 has been running for 20S, the PLC controller 12-4 will also generate a fault signal. When the fault signal is generated, the PLC controller 12-4 turns on the buzzer 12-1 and the fault indicator 12-2 to notify the operator to handle the equipment fault.
[0037] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other implementations, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
