Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of yellow phosphorus unloading, in particular to an automatic phosphorus unloading device for a yellow phosphorus tank truck. Background Art
[0002] Yellow phosphorus (also known as white phosphorus) is a colorless to yellow waxy solid. It is insoluble in water, poorly soluble in ethanol and glycerin, but relatively soluble in ether, benzene, carbon disulfide, and other substances. It is highly toxic, with an auto-ignition temperature of only 30°C. When exposed to air, it produces a bluish-green phosphorescence and white smoke in the dark. Its melting point is 44.1°C. It emits smoke and spontaneously ignites upon contact with air. Impact, friction, or contact with oxidants such as potassium chlorate can instantly ignite or even explode, making it a highly hazardous raw material.
[0003] Yellow phosphorus is primarily used in the production of phosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid, and is widely used in agriculture, environmental protection, and new energy industries. Due to its active chemical properties and toxicity, yellow phosphorus is typically stored in water and must be submerged to prevent air pollution. Yellow phosphorus is solid at room temperature and must be heated to a temperature above 60°C to liquidize it before it can be transported. Therefore, when yellow phosphorus needs to be transferred from a yellow phosphorus storage tank, it must be heated to a liquid state. During transportation, yellow phosphorus is typically transported in tank trucks, which are water-sealed and airtight. For example, Chinese utility model patent publication No. CN220282331U discloses a safe and environmentally friendly yellow phosphorus unloading and storage device. The device features a siphon connection flange connected to one end of the yellow phosphorus inlet pipe located in the phosphorus unloading area. A glass sight glass is installed on the pipe, allowing the color of the yellow phosphorus entering the storage tank to be observed in real time, thereby providing a preliminary assessment of its quality. However, this device is inconvenient to operate, exhibits large metering errors, is not highly automated, and presents safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0024] The steam pipe 9 and the condensed water pipe 10 connected to the heat-insulating jacket of the metering tank 3 are provided with a section of hose 14 before being connected to the heat-insulating jacket.
[0025] The metering tank 3 contains a yellow phosphorus layer and a heat-insulating water layer above the yellow phosphorus layer; the connection port between the overflow pipe 12 and the metering tank 3 is located above the heat-insulating water layer.
[0026] The yellow phosphorus pipe 8 is provided with a section of hose 14 before being connected to the lifting device 11 ; the hot water pipe 7 is provided with a section of hose 14 before being connected to the lifting device 11 .
[0027] The system also includes a controller 5; control valves are installed on the hot water pipe 7 and the yellow phosphorus pipe 8; a control valve is installed on the steam pipe 9 connected to the yellow phosphorus pipe 8, the heat preservation device 13 on the metering tank 3, and the hot water pool 4; a control valve is installed on the industrial water pipe; and the controller 5 is connected to the control valve.

[0028] The automatic phosphorus unloading process of an automatic phosphorus unloading device for a yellow phosphorus tank truck is as follows:
[0029] 1. Preparation stage:
[0030] (1) The yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 that has undergone phosphorus melting arrives at the designated yellow phosphorus unloading area 2;
[0031] (2) Start the automatic unloading procedure;
[0032] (3) The lifting device 11 descends, and the yellow phosphorus pipe 8 is inserted into the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1. After the pipe touches the bottom of the tank, the sensor of the lifting device 11 is triggered, and the lifting device 11 rises 40 mm to ensure that the lower end of the pipe is 50 mm away from the bottom of the tank. The liquid level radar is activated and the highest position H1 of the liquid level in the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 is recorded.
[0033] (4) When the hot water pool temperature detection TT-03 is ≤60℃, start the steam pipe valve HV-05 to heat the water in the hot water pool 4. When TT-03 is greater than 65℃, stop the steam pipe valve HV-05 and turn off the heating;
[0034] (5) When the hot water pool liquid level detection LT-01 is ≤ 60%, the industrial water pipe valve HV-06 is started to replenish the water in the hot water pool 4. When LT-01 is greater than 85%, the industrial water pipe valve HV-06 is stopped to close the water replenishment;
[0035] (6) Open the valve HV-07 of the yellow phosphorus pipe 8, open the valve HV-02 of the hot water pipe, start the hot water submersible pump 6, and let the hot water flush the yellow phosphorus pipe 8 for at least 5 minutes to ensure that the yellow phosphorus pipe 8 is unobstructed and the hot water flows into the metering tank 3;
[0036] (7) Hot water flows into the metering tank 3 through the yellow phosphorus pipe 8. The weighing instrument WT-01 of the metering tank 3 starts to measure. When WT-01 detects no change twice after two minutes (error ±0.5%), it means that the metering tank 3 is full of hot water and the hot water has flowed into the hot water tank 4 through the overflow pipe 12. Then close the yellow phosphorus pipe valve HV-07;
[0037] (8) 30 seconds after closing the yellow phosphorus pipe valve HV-07 (can be set according to site conditions, the default is 30s), turn off the hot water submersible pump 6, close the hot water pipe valve HV-02, and fill the yellow phosphorus pipe 8 with hot water;
[0038] (9) When the temperature of the outer jacket of the yellow phosphorus tube is detected to be TT-01≤60℃, start the steam pipe valve HV-03 to heat the yellow phosphorus tube 8. When TT-01>65℃, stop the steam pipe valve HV-05 and turn off the heating to avoid solidification of the yellow phosphorus during the transportation of liquid yellow phosphorus.
[0039] (10) When the jacket temperature of metering tank 3 is detected as TT-02 ≤ 60°C, start the steam pipe valve HV-04 to heat metering tank 3. When TT-02 is greater than 65°C, stop the steam pipe valve HV-04 and turn off the heating to avoid the solidification of yellow phosphorus in metering tank 3 and the blockage of yellow phosphorus transportation.
[0040] 2. Transportation stage:
[0041] (1) Open the yellow phosphorus pipe valve HV-07. The position of the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 is higher than that of the metering tank 3. After opening HV-07, the water in the yellow phosphorus pipe 8 flows into the metering tank 3. By utilizing the principle of water level pressure difference and the siphon principle, the liquid yellow phosphorus begins to be transported from the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 to the bottom of the metering tank 3. The water at the upper end of the metering tank 3 flows into the hot water pool 4 through the overflow pipe 12.
[0042] (2) During the yellow phosphorus transportation process, the liquid level radar of the lifting device 11 detects the liquid level L1 in the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 in real time. When the maximum liquid level minus the real-time liquid level, that is, (H1-L1)≤0.4m (it can be set according to the on-site conditions. Generally, the thickness of the upper water layer of the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 is greater than 0.5m, so the default value is (H1-L1)=0.4m), the hot water submersible pump 6 and the hot water pipe valve HV-01 are started to introduce hot water into the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 to avoid the liquid level from decreasing, which may cause the yellow phosphorus adhered to the pipes in the yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 and the yellow phosphorus at the bottom of the yellow phosphorus tank to contact the air, causing spontaneous combustion and safety problems. When the real-time liquid level L1 is greater than the maximum liquid level minus 100mm, that is, L1>(H1-100), the hot water submersible pump 6 and the hot water pipe valve HV-01 are closed.
[0043] 3. Measurement stage:
[0044] (1) During the yellow phosphorus transportation process, the volume of water and yellow phosphorus in the metering tank 3 does not change. Using the density difference between water and yellow phosphorus, the metering tank weighing instrument WT-01 starts to measure the mass of yellow phosphorus;
[0045] (2) Wait for WT-01 to automatically detect three times (2 minutes each time). If there is no change in the three measurement results (error ±0.5%), it means that the yellow phosphorus pipeline is transporting water instead of yellow phosphorus, and the yellow phosphorus transportation of yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 is completed.
[0046] 4. Ending stage:
[0047] (1) Start the hot water submerged pump 6 and the hot water pipe valve HV-02 to flush the yellow phosphorus pipe with hot water to prevent residual yellow phosphorus in the pipe; after 2 minutes (can be set according to site conditions, the default is 2 minutes), close the yellow phosphorus pipe valve HV-07 to allow water to backwash the yellow phosphorus pipe in the yellow phosphorus tank truck; after 30 seconds (can be set according to site conditions, the default is 30 seconds), close the hot water submerged pump and the hot water pipe valve HV-02;
[0048] (2) The lifting device 11 rises 1m and then falls 1m, and this is repeated three times to ensure that there is no residual yellow phosphorus in the yellow phosphorus pipeline; the lifting device 11 rises and resets, and the yellow phosphorus pipeline valve HV-07 is opened to discharge the hot water inside the yellow phosphorus pipeline; after this operation for 30 seconds, the yellow phosphorus pipeline valve HV-07 is closed;
[0049] (3) The yellow phosphorus tank truck 1 leaves the yellow phosphorus unloading area 2, and the yellow phosphorus unloading process is completed.
