Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grain storage, in particular to a suction-type pneumatic conveying system. Background Art
[0002] Pneumatic conveying, also known as airflow conveying, utilizes the energy of airflow to move granular materials along the airflow path within a closed pipeline. Pneumatic conveying offers numerous advantages, including simple equipment construction, a small footprint, and ease of automation. It can simultaneously perform multiple process operations, such as mixing, crushing, grading, drying, and cooling. Furthermore, its excellent sealing properties effectively minimize material leakage and contamination.
[0003] Suction-type pneumatic conveying system is a common type of pneumatic conveying system and has been widely used in grain storage and transportation. In the suction-type pneumatic conveying system, the air source equipment is usually at the end of the system. By pumping air, a negative pressure is formed in the pipeline. The material is sucked into the conveying pipeline under the action of atmospheric pressure and transported to the designated location along with the air flow. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN109592418B discloses a suction-type pneumatic conveying device, which includes a storage cylinder, a conveying pipe, an air pipe, a fan and a separation cylinder. The top of the storage cylinder is embedded with a separation cylinder, one side of the separation cylinder is embedded with a conveying pipe, the other side of the conveying pipe is embedded with an air pipe, one end of the air pipe is embedded with the fan, the bottom of the storage cylinder is embedded with a discharge pipe, the bottom of the discharge pipe is threaded with a threaded cover, one side of the conveying pipe is welded to the storage cylinder through a support rod, the top of the separation cylinder is welded with a carrier plate, and the top of the carrier plate is welded with an electric motor.
[0004] In these suction-type pneumatic conveying systems, the fan consumes considerable energy to generate sufficient negative pressure within the pipeline to suck and convey the material. Furthermore, as the pipeline length and internal resistance increase during the material conveying process, the fan's energy consumption further increases. The fan must be sufficiently powerful to maintain normal operation, resulting in higher energy costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a suction-type pneumatic conveying system with the effects of low energy consumption, energy saving and environmental protection.
[0006] The above technical purpose of the present utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: a suction-type pneumatic conveying system, including a pneumatic conveyor, a material suction pipe and a material conveying pipe connected to the pneumatic conveyor, the pneumatic conveyor includes a high-pressure fan, and the material suction pipe and / or the material conveying pipe are installed with sensors.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan in the pneumatic conveyor is a high-pressure fan. High-pressure fans generate high wind pressure and provide a large air flow, providing sufficient power for conveying. Sensors can be installed in the material intake and conveying pipelines as needed to measure the material flow within the pipelines. When the material flow within the pipeline is too high, the air flow provided by the high-pressure fan can be reduced. When the material flow within the pipeline is too low, the air flow provided by the high-pressure fan can be increased. This not only provides the power required for the operation, but also avoids excessive energy consumption of the high-pressure fan, achieving precise control and low energy consumption.
[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: the sensor is used to measure pipeline flow.
[0009] The present invention is further configured to include a control unit, wherein the high-pressure blower and the sensor are both communicatively connected to the control unit.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the control unit controls the operating power of the high-pressure blower according to the signal sent by the sensor.
[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: it also includes a discharger, the material conveying pipeline is communicated with the interior of the discharger, the upper end of the discharger is connected to an air outlet, and the lower end of the discharger is provided with a material outlet.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the material-gas mixture conveyed by the material conveying pipeline enters the interior of the discharger, the gas is discharged from the air outlet, and the material is discharged from the material outlet.
[0013] The utility model is further configured as follows: the lower end of the discharger is connected to a telescopic hose, the upper end of the telescopic hose is communicated with the interior of the discharger, the lower end of the telescopic hose is a material outlet, an adjusting cylinder is hinged on the discharger, a piston is installed in the adjusting cylinder, a piston rod is fixed to the piston, the lower end of the piston rod extends downward from the adjusting cylinder and is hinged to the telescopic hose, the upper end of the discharger is connected to an exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe is installed with a filter and a three-way control valve, the three-way control valve is connected to air pipe one and air pipe two, the pipe mouth of air pipe one is the air outlet, the air pipe two is communicated with the interior of the adjusting cylinder, an air relief valve is installed on the adjusting cylinder, and the three-way control valve and the air relief valve are both connected to the control unit.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention designs a telescopic hose with an adjustable lower end. This serves the following purpose: At the beginning of material discharge, the material outlet is positioned close to the inner wall of the receiving container, preventing material splashing and contamination. As the material pile formed after discharge continues to rise, the material outlet at the lower end of the telescopic hose also rises, preventing blockage that could affect material discharge.
[0015] The regulating cylinder regulates the rise and fall of the material outlet at the lower end of the telescopic hose. The three-way control valve controls whether the exhausted air enters the regulating cylinder through air pipe one or is discharged into the atmosphere through air pipe two. The air relief valve and the three-way control valve work together to control the air pressure within the regulating cylinder, thereby controlling the position of the piston and piston rod. This utility model uniquely utilizes high-pressure exhaust gas to adjust the position of the regulating cylinder piston rod, eliminating the need for additional energy consumption.
[0016] The utility model does not use an electric push rod. First, its manufacturing and purchasing costs are high. Second, dust is inevitably generated during the conveying of granular materials, which affects the reliability of the electric push rod. Third, its structure is complex and the maintenance cost is high.
[0017] The utility model is further configured as follows: a spring is installed inside the regulating cylinder, the upper end of the spring is fixed to the inner wall of the regulating cylinder, and the lower end of the spring is fixed to the piston.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the function of the spring is that when the air pressure in the regulating cylinder fails, its elastic force drives the piston and the upper end of the telescopic hose to remain in a higher position, serving as a safety measure and also driving the piston to reset.
[0019] The present invention is further configured as follows: the regulating cylinders are multiple in number and are vertically arranged.
[0020] The utility model is further configured as follows: the material suction pipe is equipped with a suction nozzle.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention provides sufficient wind pressure and gas flow through the high-pressure fan to realize material transportation over a longer distance, and measures the flow in the pipeline by configuring a sensor, and accurately provides wind pressure and gas flow according to the measurement results, taking into account both transportation operations and low energy consumption, realizing intelligent control, energy saving and environmental protection.
