[0020] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of this application provide a system for improving the conveying rate of pneumatic conveying, which can improve the conveying efficiency of raw material supply, improve the production efficiency of equipment, and increase production benefits.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0022] See Figure 1, the system for improving the conveying rate of pneumatic conveying includes a sending tank 1, a control system, and a pneumatic conveying system; the top and bottom of the sending tank 1 are respectively provided with a feed pipe and a discharge pipe, and a feed valve 2 and a discharge valve 3 are respectively installed on the feed pipe and the discharge pipe. A fluidization control system is installed on the sending tank 1, and a fluidization control valve 4 is installed on the fluidization control system. The pneumatic conveying system is connected between the sending tank 1 and the outlet of the V-301 storage tank. The pneumatic conveying system includes a main sending tank intake pipe 5, a main storage tank outlet pipe 6, and an auxiliary blowing pipe 7. The main sending tank intake pipe 5 communicates with the top of the sending tank 1, and a main conveying control valve 8 is installed thereon. The main storage tank outlet pipe 6 communicates between the main sending tank intake pipe 5 and the outlet of the V-301 storage tank. The auxiliary blowing pipe 7 communicates with the main storage tank outlet pipe 6, and a control valve group is installed thereon. The control system is electrically connected to the feed valve 2, the discharge valve 3, the fluidization control valve 4, the main conveying control valve 8, and the control valve group respectively.

[0023] During operation, through multiple tests and calculations, it is obtained that the main factors affecting the conveying rate of pneumatic conveying are: First, the opening of the fluidization control valve 4 lags behind. Second, the air pressure in the auxiliary blowing pipe 7 is less than the air pressure in the main sending tank intake pipe. Therefore, the system is adjusted. The control system controls the opening of the feed valve 2. After the loading is completed, the feed valve 2 is closed, and the fluidization control valve 4 is opened. When the pressure at the top of the tank reaches 85 kPa, the discharge valve 3, the main conveying control valve 8, and the control valve group are opened. After the conveying is completed, all valves are closed, overcoming the problem of the lag in the opening of the fluidization control valve 4. The pneumatic conveying system is connected between the sending tank 1 and the outlet of the V-301 storage tank, overcoming the problem that the air pressure in the auxiliary blowing pipe 7 is less than the air pressure in the main sending tank intake pipe.

[0024] The optimal pressure parameters are found through experiments: Two people cooperate to manually control the material sending, and the fluidization control valve 4 is manually opened in advance. The control program test of the bin pump material sending is carried out. Taking the shortest time from the start of sending to the low material level alarm as the benchmark, the corresponding pressure at the top of the sending tank is found. The data is shown in Table 1.

[0025] Table 1 Pressure at the top of the tank and the shortest time for low material level alarm

[0026] Serial number Tank top pressure (kpa) Time consumption (s) 1 50 850 2 60 796 3 70 752 4 80 676 5 90 675 6 100 760 7 110 789 8 120 795 9 130 797

[0027] According to the experimental results, when the pressure parameter at the top of the tank is 80 - 90 kPa, the corresponding time consumption is the least. The group takes the intermediate value of 85 kPa as the control parameter.

[0028] In some embodiments, a high material level sensor 9 and a low material level sensor 10 are respectively installed in the upper part of the inner cavity and the lower part of the inner wall of the sending tank 1, and the high material level sensor 9 and the low material level sensor 10 are respectively electrically connected to the control system.

[0029] During operation, the high-level material sensor 9 and the low-level material sensor 10 detect the depth of the material in the sending tank 1 and transmit signals to the control system. The control system controls the conveying and stopping of the material based on this data.

[0030] In some embodiments, the control valve group includes a pneumatic control valve 11, a pressure reducing valve 12, and a ball valve 13. The pneumatic control valve 11, the pressure reducing valve 12, and the ball valve 13 are sequentially installed on the auxiliary blowing pipe 7. A first reducing pipe 14 and a filter 15 are arranged between the pressure reducing valve 12 and the ball valve 13. A second reducing pipe 16 is arranged on the auxiliary blowing pipe 7 behind the ball valve 13. The valve opening of the ball valve 13 is 55%.

[0031] During operation, the opening degrees of the pneumatic control valve 11 and the pressure reducing valve 12 are regulated by the control system to control the air flow pressure in the auxiliary blowing pipe 7. The opening degree of the ball valve 13 is fixed, and the filter 15 filters the air. Ensure that under the condition that the auxiliary blowing pressure is slightly higher than the conveying pipe pressure within 20 kPa, within the range of 320 - 350 kPa of the discharging port pressure of the sending tank, find the appropriate opening degree. The specific experimental data is shown in Table 2.

[0032] Table 2 Relationship between the opening degree of the ball valve and the auxiliary blowing pressure at the tank outlet

[0033]

[0034] It can be seen from the statistics that within the range of 320 - 350 kPa of the discharging port pressure of the sending tank, 55% of the ball valve and 11% of the auxiliary blowing pipe are the optimal opening degrees.

[0035] This application can improve the conveying efficiency of raw material supply, improve the production efficiency of equipment, increase production benefits. The minimum conveying efficiency reaches 34.23 tons per hour. The outsourcing cost for handling cleaning and blowing powder salt per year is reduced to 0.54 ten thousand yuan. At least 240 tons of small bag products are added per month, and at least 27.6 ten thousand yuan of annual sales revenue is increased.
