[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a slurry stirring device, comprising a stirrer unit, wherein the stirrer unit comprises a stirrer body 10, and the stirrer body 10 is used to stir the slurry;
[0030] The slurry mixer device also includes a discharge unit, which includes a discharge pipeline 20 and a first pump 21. One end of the discharge pipeline 20 is connected to the mixer body 10. The first pump 21 is arranged in the discharge pipeline 20 to control the on-off of the discharge pipeline 20.
[0031] The slurry mixer device further includes a finished product collection unit, which includes a tank body 30 . The other end of the discharge pipe 20 is connected to the tank body 30 , and the slurry after mixing is collected through the tank body 30 .
[0032] In order to accurately judge whether the discharging of the slurry mixer device is completed, the slurry mixer device further includes a detection unit, which includes a first detection device 11, a second detection device 22 and a third detection device 31.
[0033] Wherein, the first detection device 11 is connected to the mixer body 10 to detect the liquid level in the mixer body 10;
[0034] The second detection device 22 is connected to the discharge pipeline 20 and the first pump 21 to detect the pressure at both ends of the first pump 21;
[0035] The third detection device 31 is connected to the tank body 30 to detect the weight of the contents of the tank body 30;
[0036] The slurry mixer device also includes a control unit, which is connected to the mixer unit, the discharging unit, the finished product collection unit and the detection unit. The control unit can collect signals from the first detection device 11, the second detection device 22 and the third detection device 31, and control the discharging unit and the finished product collection unit to cooperate with each other to achieve slurry collection.
[0037] It can be seen from this that the slurry stirring device to be protected by the present invention includes a mixer unit, a discharge unit, a finished product collection unit and a detection unit. The mixer unit is connected to the finished product collection unit through the discharge unit. The detection unit includes a first detection device, a second detection device and a third detection device. The first detection device can monitor the liquid level of the mixer body to determine the liquid level of the slurry in the mixer body. The second detection device can monitor the pressure at both ends of the first pump in real time to obtain the discharge status of the slurry in the discharge unit. The third detection device can monitor the content quality of the tank body of the finished product collection unit to obtain the weight information of the slurry after stirring. The present invention realizes automatic judgment of discharge by setting the detection unit and the control unit, and sets corresponding detection devices at different positions, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of detection. From the overall point of view, the automation degree of the slurry stirring device is effectively improved, the efficiency and accuracy of discharge judgment are improved, and the first pump is effectively prevented from idling for a long time due to negligence of the operator, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the first pump. In addition, by adopting the slurry mixer device of the present invention, operators do not need to repeatedly lift and lower the container to observe the slurry condition, thereby reducing the operators' repeated lifting and lowering operations and avoiding production safety hazards such as bumps and injuries.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the first detection device 11 includes a liquid level sensor, which is installed at the bottom of the mixer body 10. In this way, when the slurry level in the mixer body 10 is low, the liquid level sensor can be triggered.
[0039] Furthermore, the second detection device 22 includes a first pressure sensor 220 and a second pressure sensor 221. The first pressure sensor 220 is disposed at the inlet end of the first pump 21, and the second pressure sensor 221 is disposed at the outlet end of the first pump 21. Thus, the first pressure sensor 220 and the second pressure sensor 220 can respectively monitor the pressure at both ends of the first pump 21, collect pressure values, and transmit them to the control unit.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the first pump 21 is a diaphragm pump.
[0041] In order to demagnetize the slurry and reduce the impurity content in the slurry, the discharge unit further includes a demagnetization device 40 , which is disposed in the discharge pipeline 20 and located between the second detection device 22 and the tank body 30 .
[0042] Specifically, the demagnetization device 40 is installed between the second pressure sensor 220 and the tank body 30 .
[0043] The discharging unit further includes a pipeline cleaning device, which is connected to the discharging pipeline 20 , so that the residual slurry in the discharging pipeline 20 can be cleaned by the pipeline cleaning device to avoid slurry accumulation.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the area of the discharge pipeline 20 close to the tank body 30 is a discharge cleaning pipeline 201 , and the pipeline cleaning device is connected to the cleaning pipeline 201 .
[0045] Specifically, the pipeline cleaning device includes a ball-pushing cleaning assembly, which includes a ball-pushing pipeline 60, a driving member 61 and an elastic projectile. One end of the ball-pushing pipeline 60 is connected to the driving member 61, and the other end of the ball-pushing pipeline 60 is connected to the discharge cleaning pipeline 201. The elastic projectile is driven by the driving member 61 to reciprocate in the ball-pushing pipeline 60 and the discharge cleaning pipeline 201. In this way, the elastic projectile can push the residual slurry in the discharge cleaning pipeline 201 to the tank body, which can avoid waste of slurry on the one hand and effectively avoid slurry residue on the other hand.
[0046] It should be noted that the dimensions of the ball-pushing pipeline 60 and the discharge cleaning pipeline 201 are both able to accommodate the passage of the elastic projectiles. The elastic projectiles include but are not limited to push balls.
[0047] In order to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of the discharge pipeline, a ball-pushing valve 62 is further provided on one end of the ball-pushing pipeline 60 close to the discharge cleaning pipeline 201 .
[0048] The working principle and working process of the slurry mixer device of the utility model are as follows:
[0049] The first detection device 11 is installed at the bottom of the mixer body 10 . When the slurry in the mixer body 10 is at a low level, a low level signal (first signal) can be triggered and transmitted to the control unit. In detail, there may be two abnormal situations at this time; in the first case, the slurry in the mixer body 10 has not been completely discharged. Since local cavities may appear during the slurry mixing process, the liquid level alarm signal is still triggered. At this time, the intelligent central control has not received the completion signal of the second detection device 22 and the third detection device 31, so the control unit will not send a discharge completion signal to the mixer body 10. The mixer discharge completion signal will be given only when the control unit receives the other two sets of signals; in the second case, the discharge is completed in the mixer body 10, but the low liquid level signal of the first detection device 11 is not triggered (there is always a capacitance difference between the capacitive sensor and the slurry attached), but because the control unit receives the completion signal from the second detection device 22 and the third detection device 31, the control unit will delay 30s to send the discharge completion signal to the mixer body. With this arrangement, no matter which situation occurs, the control unit can give an accurate discharge completion signal to the mixer body 10, so that the mixer body 10 stops working after receiving the signal.
[0050] The second detection device 22, with the first pressure sensor 220 and the second pressure sensor 221 respectively positioned at the front and rear of the diaphragm pump, can collect the pressure across the diaphragm pump in real time. The collected pressure value (second signal) is transmitted to the control unit, which processes the pressure in three stages. The first stage, three minutes before discharge, is used for data collection only and no analysis is performed. The second stage is from the end of the first stage to eighteen minutes after discharge (approximately twenty-five minutes after normal discharge). The average of the diaphragm pump pressure differences during this stage serves as the basis for determining the pressure detection value in the third stage. The third stage begins monitoring when the pressure differential suddenly changes (due to the diaphragm pump running dry, there is essentially no pressure differential between the front and rear). A delay of half a minute is applied, and a signal is transmitted to the control unit if the pressure differential remains unchanged.
[0051] The third detection device 31, the control unit presets the set weight of the tank body 30, and when the weight of the contents of the tank body 30 reaches the preset weight, the third signal is sent to the control unit, and the control unit controls the ball pushing cleaning component to work. When the ball pushing is completed, the control unit controls the third detection device 31 to automatically calibrate the weight to prevent weight monitoring from being inaccurate.
[0052] The control unit receives the above three groups of signals and transmits a discharge completion signal to the mixer body 10. At this time, the diaphragm pump is closed and the discharge is completed.
[0053] As a preferred embodiment, the mixer unit also includes a vacuum cover 12, which is assembled on the mixer body 10, so as to isolate the slurry in the mixer body 10 from the outside air, thereby preventing the slurry from being contaminated by the external environment and preventing impurities from entering the mixer body 10.
[0054] In order to facilitate the mixer body 10 to be stably placed on the ground, the mixer unit further includes a support frame 13 , and the mixer body 10 is installed on the support frame 13 .
