Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of molasses production, and particularly relates to an automatic water-adding dilution system for molasses. Background Art

[0002] In molasses production, the sag of molasses (molasses water) is affected by factors such as sugar boiling, raw materials, equipment, and operations, and these factors have a great influence on the purity of molasses (molasses water). Among them, the purity of waste molasses is relatively high; reducing sugars and ash in the material also have a great influence on this. When there are more reducing sugars and less ash, this coefficient is low and the purity of molasses water is also low; on the contrary, the purity of molasses water must be high. Excessive sugar content brings great losses to the sugar factory, resulting in direct visible economic losses. Effectively unifying the standard to reduce the sugar content of molasses is the most direct and effective way to reduce the losses of sugar factories.

[0003] The current dilution method requires manual use of a molasses water sag detector to detect the sag of molasses water, and dilution water is added according to the detection result. This method is time-consuming and laborious, and is affected by external factors such as the negligence of operators when adding dilution water, making it difficult to maintain the sag of molasses water within the most suitable sag ≤ 37% (±1).

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides an automatic water-adding dilution system for molasses water to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

The upper part of the orange water sag detection device 3 is connected to the orange water collecting tank 2, and a control valve 1 6 is provided at the connection point. The control valve 1 6 is communicatively connected to the controller 1. One end of the orange water collecting tank 2 is communicated with the orange water weight detection device 4. The lower part of the orange water weight detection device 4 is communicated with the orange water tank 5 and is provided with a control valve 2 7. The control valve 2 7 is communicatively connected to the controller 1. An orange water sag detector 15 is provided on one side of the orange water sag detection device 3.

[0025] When in use, the controller 1 controls the control valve 6 to open, and the orange water on the orange water collecting tank 2 moves to the orange water sag detection device 3 under the action of gravity. The control valve 6 is opened for a short time, and the orange water entering the orange water sag detection device 3 is only a small part of the orange water in the orange water collecting tank 2, which is only used as a detection sample. The rest of the orange water on the orange water collecting tank 2 enters the orange water weight detection device 4 at the end of the orange water collecting tank 2. The orange water weight detection device 4 can infer the volume of the orange water by detecting the weight of the orange water and transmit the information to the controller 1. The orange water sag detector 15 detects the sag of the orange water in the orange water sag detection device 3 and transmits the orange water sag information to the controller 1. As for the controller 1, the controller 1 can be an existing computer system, which can preset the ratio of each value of the orange water verticality to the dilution water. The orange water verticality information transmitted back by the orange water verticality detector 15, combined with the volume of the orange water, and then combined with the predetermined setting, can obtain the required dilution water volume, open the control valve three 8, and release the dilution water. The control valve three 8 is a metering control valve. The dilution water volume calculated by the controller 1 will automatically close when the specified volume of dilution water is released. The dilution water enters the orange water weight detection device 4 and combines with the orange water to obtain the most suitable verticality of the orange water ≤37% (±1), and then the control valve two 7 is opened to discharge the orange water into the orange water tank 5.

[0026] A control valve 299 is provided at the bottom of the orange water sag detection device 3, and the control valve 299 is connected to the controller 1 for communication, and the upper end of the orange water sag detection device 3 is connected to the orange water collection tank 2 by a hose 16. When the orange water sag detection is completed, the control valve 299 is opened, and the orange water in the orange water sag detection device 3 flows downward, and the other side of the control valve 299 can be connected to a recycling device to recycle the orange water. The upper end of the orange water sag detection device 3 is preferably connected to the orange water collection tank 2 by a DN25 transparent hose 16, which has poor water absorption and will not leave too much orange water to affect the detection, and the transparent hose 16 can intuitively see whether there is any residue in the tube.

[0027] In order to perform multiple tests in a short time, a flushing pipe 10 is provided above the orange water sag detection device 3, and a flushing valve 11 is provided on the flushing pipe 10, and the flushing valve 11 is connected to the controller 1. The other end of the flushing pipe 10 is connected to the existing water purification system. When the control valve 29 is opened, the flushing valve 11 is opened, and the purified water flows from the flushing pipe 10 to the orange water sag detection device 3, cleaning the transparent hose 16 and the orange water sag detection device 3 for the next round of testing.

The controller 1 preferably adopts a PLC system, which has many advantages, including programmability, reliability, scalability, monitorability, safety, and a programmable interface.

[0029] The controller 1 includes a storage system and a control system 102. The storage system adopts blockchain storage technology and is connected to the control system 102 by a local area network or a wired connection. Blockchain technology has the following advantages: 1. It uses distributed accounting and storage, which is decentralized; 2. The cost of tampering with data in the blockchain system is too high; 3. The system is open. Except for the encrypted private information of the transaction parties, the data of the blockchain is open to everyone. Anyone can query the blockchain data and develop related applications through the public interface, so the information of the entire system is highly transparent. In the blockchain storage method, the data is not stored in a single server or data center, but is stored in various nodes in a decentralized manner. Each node has the same power and responsibility and can participate in the verification, packaging and release of transactions. Due to the large number of nodes, even if some nodes are attacked or damaged, the overall data is still safe and reliable. The storage end set adopts blockchain storage technology to avoid malicious tampering and facilitate subsequent tracing. For internal personnel of shared electric bicycle operators, the system is open. Except for the encrypted private information of the transaction parties, the data of the blockchain is open to everyone. Anyone can query the blockchain data and develop related applications through the public interface, so the information of the entire system is highly transparent.
