Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of polyolefin preparation, and particularly relates to a water tank pH value control system. Background Technique
[0002] When plastic powder is processed into plastic particles by an extruder, various additives need to be added. Some additives will produce some acidic components during the high-temperature process of the extruder. During the process of plastic extrusion and pelletizing from the die, acid will enter the pelletizing water, resulting in a decrease in the pH value of the pelletizing water. When the pH value of the pelletizing water is less than 7, the corrosion rate of the die and the cutting knife significantly accelerates.
[0003] In the prior art, the pH value of the pelletizing water in the pelletizing water tank is measured by manual sampling, and then alkali is manually added to the pelletizing water tank to adjust the pH value. However, manual sampling cannot monitor the pH value of the pelletizing water in real time, resulting in untimely adjustment. The pelletizing water may still be acidic during the unmonitored period, and sampling and detection are carried out multiple times a day, consuming a relatively high labor cost.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problem of how to keep the pH of the pelletizing water alkaline all the time, it is urgent to provide a water tank pH value control system.
[0005] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this background technical part is only used to understand the background technology of the concept of this application. Therefore, the above description is not considered as information of the prior art. Content of the Utility Model

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the storage tank is adapted to store the alkaline solution; a collection pool is provided below the storage tank.
[0018] In an optional embodiment, a liquid level alarm device is provided at the inner bottom of the storage tank. The alarm device is adapted to measure the liquid level of the alkaline solution in the storage tank. When the liquid level of the alkaline solution is too low, the alarm device sends a warning signal to the control room to notify the on-site staff to add the alkaline solution.
[0019] In an optional embodiment, the control module is configured to:
[0020] When the pH value is less than 8.5, control the metering pump to start delivering the alkaline solution to the tank; or

[0022] The beneficial effect of the present utility model is that the pH value control system of the present water tank detects the pH value of the pelletizing water in the tank in real time through the pH sensor and sends the pH value data to the alkali adding device by setting the pH sensor and the alkali adding device. The alkali adding device starts or stops delivering the alkaline solution to the tank according to the pH value, so that the pH of the pelletizing water in the tank always remains alkaline.

[0037] It has been found through research that the disadvantages of the prior art are as follows: When plastic powder is processed into plastic particles by an extruder, various additives need to be added. Some additives will produce some acidic components during the high-temperature process of the extruder. During the process of plastic being extruded and granulated from the die plate, the acid will enter the granulation water, resulting in a decrease in the pH value of the granulation water. When the pH value of the granulation water is less than 7, the corrosion rate of the die plate and the cutting knife significantly accelerates.
[0038] In the prior art, the pH value of the granulation water in the granulation water tank is measured by manual sampling, and then alkali is manually added to the granulation water tank to adjust the pH value. However, manual sampling cannot monitor the pH value of the granulation water in real time, resulting in untimely adjustment. The granulation water may still be acidic during the unmonitored period, and multiple samplings and detections are carried out every day, consuming a relatively high labor cost.
[0039] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problem of how to keep the pH of the granulation water alkaline all the time, it is urgent to provide a water tank pH value control system.
[0040] Regarding the defects existing in the above solutions, they are all the results obtained by the utility model inventors after practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure in this article for the above problems should all be the contributions made by the utility model inventors during the process of this disclosure.
[0041] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. In addition, in the drawings, in order to effectively describe the technical content, the thickness of the components can be exaggerated or reduced.
[0042] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water tank pH value control system, including: a box body 1, which is provided with an alkali liquid inlet 2, and a pH sensor 3 is arranged on the box body 1. The box body 1 is suitable for storing granulation water, and the cutting knife of the granulator cuts polyolefin into small particles under the granulation water. An alkali adding device 4, which is connected to the box body 1, and the alkali adding device 4 is electrically connected to the pH sensor 3; wherein, the pH sensor 3 is suitable for detecting the pH value of the granulation water in the box body 1 and sending the pH value data to the alkali adding device 4, and the alkali adding device 4 opens or closes the delivery of alkali liquid to the box body 1 according to the pH value.
[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 2, the alkali adding device 4 includes: a storage tank 41 adapted to store alkali solution; a metering pump 43, the inlet end and the outlet end of which are respectively connected to a plurality of pipelines. Preferably, the pipelines can be made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance, a long service life, and can effectively reduce the equipment cost of the enterprise. The inlet end of the metering pump 43 is connected to a suction gun 42 through a hose, the outlet end of the metering pump 43 is connected to a conduit 5, and the conduit 5 is connected to the alkali solution inlet of the box body 1. A suction gun 42 is arranged above the storage tank 41, and the suction gun 42 can quickly suck out the alkali solution in the storage tank 41 and transport it to the metering pump 43 through the hose; a control module, which is electrically connected to the metering pump 43 and the PH sensor 3, and is configured to receive the PH value data of the PH sensor 3 and control the metering pump 43 to start or stop transporting the alkali solution according to the corresponding PH value.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, the control module is configured to: when the PH value in the box body 1 is less than 8.5, control the metering pump 43 to start to transport the alkali solution in the storage tank 41 to the box body 1 to ensure that the pelletizing water in the box body 1 is always alkaline; when the PH value in the box body 1 is greater than 9.5, control the metering pump 43 to stop transporting the alkali solution, avoiding waste of resources.
[0046] Compared with some existing technologies, the PH value of the pelletizing water in the pelletizing water tank is measured by manual sampling, and then alkali solution is manually added to the pelletizing water tank (corresponding to the box body 1 in this embodiment) to adjust the PH value so that the PH value remains between 9 and 10. Manual sampling cannot monitor the PH value of the pelletizing water in real time, and the pelletizing water may still turn acidic during the unmonitored period. Moreover, sampling and detection are carried out multiple times a day, consuming a high amount of labor costs. In this embodiment, by arranging the PH sensor 3 and the alkali adding device 4 in the box body 1, the automatic adjustment of the PH value of the pelletizing water is realized, which not only saves labor costs, but also ensures that the PH value of the pelletizing water is always alkaline, improving the service life of the die and the cutting knife in the pelletizing water.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 2 , a T-shaped filter 44 is arranged at the inlet of the metering pump 43. The T-shaped filter 44 can effectively filter out solid particles and impurities in the alkali solution, protecting the metering pump 43 from blockage and damage, so as to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0048] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 2 , the metering pump 43 is equipped with a pressure relief valve 45. The pressure relief valve 45 is located on the outlet side of the metering pump 43 and is connected to the metering pump 43 through a connecting pipeline. When the output pressure at the outlet end of the metering pump 43 is too high, the pressure relief valve 45 can automatically open to reduce the pressure, preventing the pipeline and equipment from being damaged due to overpressure and ensuring safety.
[0049] In an optional embodiment, see Figure 1, a collection pool 6 is arranged below the storage tank 41. The collection pool 6 is suitable for collecting the slightly leaked lye during the replacement of the storage tank 41 or the use of the equipment, so as to avoid the lye leakage from injuring the staff. Preferably, a liquid level alarm device is further arranged at the inner bottom of the storage tank 41. The alarm device is suitable for measuring the lye liquid level in the storage tank 41. When the lye liquid level is too low, the alarm device sends a warning signal to the control room to notify the on-site staff to add lye. The liquid level alarm device can be arranged independently or electrically connected to the control module. The above two arrangement methods are both prior arts, and the present embodiment does not make improvements to the circuit of the liquid level alarm device itself.
[0050] In an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the metering pump 43 is controlled by the control module, and the control module can be but is not limited to a control module composed of a PLC module or an embedded system.
[0051] In this embodiment, for the control module being configured to receive the pH value data of the pH sensor and control the opening or stopping of the metering pump (43) to transport lye according to the corresponding pH value, and for the control module being configured to control the metering pump (43) to start transporting lye to the box body (1) when the pH value is less than 8.5; or to control the metering pump (43) to stop transporting lye when the pH value is greater than 9.5, the specific control methods all belong to the prior arts. The present embodiment does not make substantial improvements to the above programs. For those skilled in the art, it is completely capable of being realized according to their own experience.
[0052] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
[0053] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless clearly indicated in the text. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer or section discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer or section.
[0054] Spatially relative terms, such as "inner", "outer", "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "upper", etc., may be used herein for ease of description to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. In addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as "below" or "beneath" another element or feature will then be oriented "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.
[0055] Based on the above inspiration from the ideal embodiments of the present utility model, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
