Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of batching, and particularly to a batching system. Background Art

[0002] The patent with the patent number CN201520742116.2 discloses a feeding device applied to glass production, which includes a frame, a feeding mechanism, a screw feeder and a discharging mechanism. A screw rod is arranged in the screw feeder. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding hopper, a feeder and a first rotary joint. The lower end of the feeding hopper is connected to the feeder. The feeder is provided with an inlet plug, an outlet plug, a driving device and a transmission device. A connecting rod is connected between the inlet plug and the outlet plug, and a driven gear is installed on the connecting rod. The driving device is connected to the transmission device, and a driving gear shaft is connected to the transmission device. The lower end of the feeder is connected to the first rotary joint, and the other end of the first rotary joint is connected to the screw feeder.

[0003] Among them, since only one feeder is provided in the above device, only one controller is needed to control the feeder to work. However, when producing glass, sometimes other substances need to be added to the basic component quartzite of the glass to prepare glass with different properties.

[0004] The current glass manufacturing system will set different bins for different substances, and then a vibrating feeder will be set under each bin, and then feeding will be carried out through the vibrating feeder.

[0005] Taking two bins as an example, they are bin A and bin B respectively. The vibrating feeder A is set under bin A, and the vibrating feeder B is set under bin B. When feeding, it is necessary to first feed the ingredient A in bin A, and then feed the ingredient B in bin B. At this time, the PLC controller will first let the controller of the vibrating feeder A control the vibrating feeder A to work. After the discharging of the ingredient A is completed, the PLC controller will let the controller of the vibrating feeder A control the vibrating feeder A to stop working, and let the controller of the vibrating feeder B control the vibrating feeder B to work to complete the addition of the ingredient A and the ingredient B.

[0006] However, in this way, during the addition of each ingredient, only the controller of one vibrating feeder works, which will cause the equipment in the batching system to be vacant, resulting in low utilization rate of the equipment, and thus the equipment cost of the glass manufacturing system is relatively high.

[0042] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a batching system shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the batching system includes: a PLC controller 1, a feeder controller 2, a plurality of feeding systems 3, and a next-level mixing device 4;

[0043] Each feeding system 3 includes: a discharging device 31, a vibrating feeder 32, and an AC contactor 33;

[0044] The AC contactor 33 is connected to the vibrating feeder 32; the position of the discharging port of the discharging device 31 corresponds to the position of the feeding port of the vibrating feeder 32, and the position of the discharging port of the vibrating feeder 32 corresponds to the position of the feeding port of the next-stage mixing device 4. That is, the discharging port of the discharging device 31 conveys the batching to the feeding port of the vibrating feeder 32, and the discharging port of the vibrating feeder 32 outputs the batching to the next-stage mixing device 4.

[0045] In some embodiments, the discharging port of the discharging device 31 conveying the batching to the feeding port of the vibrating feeder 32 can be achieved by connecting the discharging port of the discharging device 31 to the feeding port of the vibrating feeder 32, which can avoid the problem of dust flying in the batching.

[0046] In some embodiments, the discharging port of the vibrating feeder 32 outputting the batching to the next-stage mixing device 4 can also be achieved by connecting the discharging ports of the respective vibrating feeders 32 to the feeding port of the next-stage mixing device 4 respectively, which can avoid the problem of dust flying in the batching.

[0047] Exemplarily, the vibrating feeder 32 may include: an electromagnetic vibrating feeder 32.

[0048] The feeder controller 2 is respectively connected to the AC contactors 33 in each feeding system 3.

[0049] Exemplarily, the feeder controller 2 includes: an electromagnetic vibration controller.

[0050] The PLC controller 1 is connected to the discharging devices 31 in each feeding system 3; the PLC controller 1 is also connected to the AC contactors 33 in each feeding system 3.

[0051] In this application, an AC contactor 33 is provided between the feeder controller 2 and each vibrating feeder 32. In this way, when it is necessary to use a certain vibrating feeder 32, the PLC controller 1 only needs to control the AC contactor 33 corresponding to the current vibrating feeder 32 to be in the closed state, so as to conduct the circuit between the feeder controller 2 and the vibrating feeder 32, thereby achieving the purpose of enabling the feeder controller 2 to control the vibrating feeder 32 to work.

[0052] Since one feeder controller 2 and multiple vibrating feeders 32 are provided in this application, and since the relationship between the feeder controller 2 and the vibrating feeders 32 is one-to-many, but only one vibrating feeder 32 can work at a time, it is necessary to control the working process of the feeder controller 2 to enable it to control only one vibrating feeder 32 to work each time.

[0053] Among them, during discharging, the PLC controller 1 is used to send a work start instruction to the first discharging device 31 in the first target feeding system 3 and the first AC contactor 33 in the first target feeding system 3; the first discharging device 31 is used to start discharging after receiving the work start instruction; the first AC contactor 33 is used to conduct the circuit between the feeder controller 2 connected to the first AC contactor 33 and the first vibratory feeder 32 after receiving the work start instruction, so that the first vibratory feeder 32 starts to work. Among them, the first discharging device 31, the first AC contactor 33 and the first vibratory feeder 32 are the discharging device 31, the AC contactor 33 and the vibratory feeder 32 in the first target feeding system 3.

[0054] The PLC controller 1 is also used to send a work stop instruction to the first discharging device 31 and the first AC contactor 33 after detecting that the first target feeding system 3 has completed feeding; send a work start instruction to the second discharging device 31 in the second target feeding system 3 and the second AC contactor 33 in the second target feeding system 3; the first discharging device 31 is used to stop discharging after receiving the work stop instruction; the first AC contactor 33 is used to disconnect the circuit between the feeder controller 2 connected to the first AC contactor 33 and the first vibratory feeder 32 after receiving the work stop instruction, so that the first vibratory feeder 32 stops working. The second discharging device 31 is used to start discharging after receiving the work start instruction; the second AC contactor 33 is used to conduct the circuit between the feeder controller 2 connected to the second AC contactor 33 and the second vibratory feeder 32 after receiving the work start instruction, so that the second vibratory feeder 32 starts to work. Among them, the second discharging device 31, the second AC contactor 33 and the second vibratory feeder 32 are the discharging device 31, the AC contactor 33 and the vibratory feeder 32 in the second target feeding system 3.

[0055] The PLC controller 1 is also used to send a work stop instruction to the second discharging device 31 and the second AC contactor 33 after detecting that the second target feeding system 3 has completed feeding; the second discharging device 31 is used to stop discharging after receiving the work stop instruction; the second AC contactor 33 is used to disconnect the circuit between the feeder controller 2 connected to the second AC contactor 33 and the second vibratory feeder 32 after receiving the work stop instruction, so that the second vibratory feeder 32 stops working.

[0056] Among them, the ingredients in the second target feeding system 3 are the ingredients that should be added after the ingredients in the first target feeding system 3 are added.

[0057] If there are three or more types of ingredients to be added, and so on.

[0058] In the related art, during the addition process of each ingredient, only the feeder controller 2 of one vibratory feeder 32 works. This will cause the feeder controller 2 in the batching system to be vacant, resulting in low utilization rate of the equipment and thus high equipment cost of the glass manufacturing system.

[0059] In the present application, one feeder controller 2 can be used to control multiple vibratory feeders 32, improving the utilization rate of the feeder controller 2. Therefore, during the process of adding ingredients, the feeder controller 2 will not be vacant. Since the number of feeder controllers 2 is reduced, the equipment cost of the glass manufacturing system is lowered, and the user experience is improved.

[0060] In some embodiments, when using the AC contactor 33, the main circuit contacts of the AC contactor 33 are connected in the start circuit of the feeder controller 2;

[0061] The auxiliary contacts of the AC contactor 33 are connected in the circuit between the feeder controller 2 and the corresponding vibratory feeder 32 of the AC contactor 33.

[0062] As Figure 2 shown, taking two vibratory feeders 32 as an example, they are vibratory feeder A and vibratory feeder B respectively. Among them, the AC contactor 33 corresponding to vibratory feeder A is KM 1 , and the AC contactor 33 corresponding to vibratory feeder B is KM 2 , KM 11 is the main circuit contact of KM 1 , KM 12 is the auxiliary contact of KM 1 , KM 21 is the main circuit contact of KM 2 , KM 22 is the auxiliary contact of KM 2 .

[0063] KM 11 is connected in the circuit between the feeder controller 2 and vibratory feeder A, and KM 12 is connected in the start circuit of the feeder controller 2. That is, when KM 1 receives the work start instruction, the KM 1 of KM 12 closes, the start circuit of the feeder controller 2 is turned on, and the KM 1 of KM 11 closes, the circuit between the feeder controller 2 and vibratory feeder A is turned on, and the feeder controller 2 controls vibratory feeder A to work. When it is necessary to stop vibratory feeder A from working, when KM 1 receives the work stop instruction, the KM 1 of KM 12When it is turned on, the startup circuit of the feeder controller 2 is disconnected, and KM 1 of KM 11 When it is turned on, the circuit between the feeder controller 2 and the vibratory feeder A is disconnected, and the vibratory feeder A stops working.

[0064] In an implementable manner, as Figure 3 shown, taking two feeding systems 3 as an example, the discharging device 31 includes: a bin 311 and a bin controller 312;

[0065] The bin controller 312 is connected to the bin 311, the PLC controller 1 is also connected to the bin controller 312, and the position of the discharging port of the bin 311 corresponds to the position of the feeding port of the vibratory feeder 32, that is, the discharging port of the bin 311 conveys the batching to the feeding port of the vibratory feeder 32;

[0066] Among them, the discharging port of the bin 311 conveys the batching to the feeding port of the vibratory feeder 32, which can be realized by connecting the discharging port of the bin 311 to the feeding port of the vibratory feeder 32, so as to avoid the problem of dust flying in the batching.

[0067] The PLC controller 1 is used to send a control instruction to the bin controller 312 in the target feeding system 3, and the bin controller 312 is used to control the bin 311 to start discharging after receiving the control instruction.

[0068] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the precise control of the batching weight, each feeding system 3 further includes: a weighing device 34 and a weighing device 34 controller;

[0069] The weighing device 34 controller is connected to the weighing device 34; one end of the discharging port of the bin 311 is connected to the weighing device 34, and the other end of the weighing device 34 is connected to the feeding port of the vibratory feeder 32.

[0070] During the discharging process of the batching, the PLC controller 1 sends a weighing start instruction to the weighing device 34 controller. After receiving the weighing start instruction, the weighing device 34 controller controls the weighing device 34 to start working. During the weighing process, the weighing device 34 controller will send the current batching discharging weight to the PLC controller 1 in real time, so that when the PLC controller 1 detects that the current discharging weight is the same as the preset discharging weight, it sends a weighing stop instruction to the weighing device 34 controller.

[0071] Specifically, during discharging, the PLC controller 1 is used to send a work start instruction to the first discharging device 31 in the first target feeding system 3 and the first AC contactor 33 in the first target feeding system 3, and send a weighing work start instruction to the controller of the first weighing device 34 in the first target feeding system 3; the first discharging device 31 is used to start discharging after receiving the work start instruction; the first AC contactor 33 is used to conduct the circuit between the feeder controller 2 connected to the first AC contactor 33 and the first vibratory feeder 32 after receiving the work start instruction, so that the first vibratory feeder 32 starts to work.

Among them, the first discharging device 31, the first AC contactor 33, the first vibratory feeder 32, the controller of the first weighing device 34, and the first weighing device 34 are the discharging device 31, the AC contactor 33, the vibratory feeder 32, the controller of the weighing device 34, and the weighing device 34 in the first target feeding system 3.

[0072] The PLC controller 1 is also used to send a work stop instruction to the first discharging device 31 and the first AC contactor 33, and send a weighing work stop instruction to the controller of the first weighing device 34 after detecting that the feeding of the first target feeding system 3 is completed; send a work start instruction to the second discharging device 31 in the second target feeding system 3 and the second AC contactor 33 in the second target feeding system 3, and send a weighing work start instruction to the controller of the second weighing device 34 in the second target feeding system 3; the first discharging device 31 is used to stop discharging after receiving the work stop instruction; the first AC contactor 33 is used to disconnect the circuit between the feeder controller 2 connected to the first AC contactor 33 and the first vibratory feeder 32 after receiving the work stop instruction, so that the first vibratory feeder 32 stops working. After receiving the weighing work stop instruction, the controller of the first weighing device 34 controls the first weighing device 34 to stop working. The second discharging device 31 is used to start discharging after receiving the work start instruction; the second AC contactor 33 is used to conduct the circuit between the feeder controller 2 connected to the second AC contactor 33 and the second vibratory feeder 32 after receiving the work start instruction, so that the second vibratory feeder 32 starts to work.
