[0023] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides an adjustment system for a nitrogen air knife, including:

[0024] The nitrogen pipeline 1 includes a nitrogen switch 2, a nitrogen regulating valve 3 and a gas storage tank 4 connected in sequence; a first sensor 5 is provided between the nitrogen regulating valve 3 and the gas storage tank 4; a second sensor 6 is provided at the first output end of the gas storage tank 4; the nitrogen pipeline 1 is usually arranged in a dedicated area, such as a gas protection station in a factory area to ensure gas use safety; and before use, the nitrogen switch 2 is in an off state, and usually the pressure value at the inlet of the nitrogen pipeline 1 is between 0.3 - 0.45 MPa, and a pressure gauge can be used to detect at the nitrogen inlet. The first sensor 5 is used to detect the pressure before nitrogen flows into the gas storage tank 4, and correspondingly, the second sensor 6 is used to detect the pressure of nitrogen in the gas storage tank 4.

And a first pressure gauge 20 is provided between the first sensor 5 and the nitrogen regulating valve 3, and a second pressure gauge 21 is provided between the second sensor 6 and the first output end of the gas storage tank 4. It should be noted here that the pressure sensor is used to obtain pressure data for subsequent processing or display, while the pressure gauge is provided because of the length of the nitrogen pipeline 1 and the air pipeline 7, and the pressure gauge can be used to observe in real time.

[0025] The above nitrogen pipeline 1 also needs to be provided with a first ball valve 14, a first filter 15, a pressure stabilizing valve 16 and a flowmeter 17; the function of using the first filter 15 is to filter impurities in nitrogen to avoid damage to the equipment caused by impurities. The function of using the flowmeter 17 is to count the usage of nitrogen.

[0026] One end of the nitrogen switch 2 away from the nitrogen inlet side is connected to one end of the first ball valve 14.

[0030] The control component, a component with control functions, including but not limited to using a PLC; its first input end is connected to the output end of the second sensor 6, and its first output end is connected to the control input end of the nitrogen regulating valve 3; the PLC compares the information uploaded by the second sensor 6 with the preset pressure information of the air storage tank 4, and controls the opening and closing of the nitrogen regulating valve 3 according to the comparison result to form a PID control and adjust the output of nitrogen.

[0031] The second input terminal of the control component is connected to the output terminal of the sensor, and the second output terminal is connected to the control input terminal of the air regulating valve 8. Among them, the PLC obtains the pressure information of the mixed gas in the regulating main pipeline 11 and compares it with the preset pressure information of the regulating main pipeline 11, and adjusts the opening and closing of the air regulating valve 8 according to the comparison result to form a PID control to adjust the output volume of the mixed gas; and the control component will also use the nitrogen analyzer 13 to analyze the nitrogen content in the mixed gas, so as to accurately control the ratio of nitrogen to air, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the nitrogen air knife.

[0032] In addition, it should be noted that an air knife blower is connected to one end of the regulating main pipeline 11 away from the gas storage tank 4;

[0033] The regulating main pipeline 11 is provided with an air knife switch 23 for controlling the air knife blower. The air knife switch 23 is an electronic switch, which can control the air knife blower in a timely manner.
