Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fine chemical production, and in particular to a precise continuous feeding system. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, in fine chemical production, precise continuous feeding involves a wide range of applications, mainly involving the precise and quantitative addition of materials into designated containers or reactors. This feeding method is very common in the fields of chemical, petrochemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

[0003] The traditional feeding method mainly involves connecting a group of metering pumps and flow meters in series on the upper part of the pipeline to achieve continuous feeding. The flow meter will cause metering deviation after long-term use, which is often reflected in the product quality stage. It has a strong hysteresis, resulting in a large loss of unqualified products, making this method unable to judge the accuracy of the feeding amount in real time. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing feeding metering method of a single set of metering pumps and flow meters is unable to determine the accuracy of the feeding amount in real time because the flow meter is prone to metering deviation and has a strong hysteresis monitoring defect.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a precise continuous feeding system, including a feeding pipe and a reactor connected by a pipeline, a feeding pump and a flow meter are connected in series in sequence in the upper part of the pipeline between the feeding pipe and the reactor, and there are two groups of feeding pipes. A liquid level gauge for real-time display of the liquid level is arranged on one side of the feeding pipe. A metering component that can measure the discharge amount of the feeding pipe is also added to the upper part of the pipeline. The metering component includes a feeding pump and a flow meter, and the feeding pump and the flow meter are connected in series in sequence in the upper part of the pipeline.

[0006] Since the feeding system of the present application is designed with two sets of feeding pipes with liquid level gauges and a metering component consisting of a feeding pump and a flow meter, it is possible to realize a quadruple metering operation of the feeding amount through the two sets of liquid level gauges and flow meters, and then judge the offset of the flow meter to provide real-time feedback on the accuracy of the feeding amount, thereby solving the problem of the feeding metering method of the prior art with a single set of metering pumps and flow meters, in which the flow meter is prone to metering offset and has a strong lag monitoring defect, making this method unable to judge the accuracy of the feeding amount in real time.

[0009] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application. Example

[0010] This application relates to a precise continuous feeding system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feeding system includes a feeding pipe and a reactor 9 connected by a pipeline, and a feeding pump and a flow meter are connected in series in sequence on the upper part of the pipeline between the feeding pipe and the reactor 9, so that the raw materials in the feeding pipe are pumped into the reactor 9 by means of the feeding pump. In order to improve the accuracy of raw material filling, the number of feeding pipes is two groups, which are divided into a first feeding pipe 1 and a second feeding pipe 5, and a level gauge for real-time display of the liquid level is arranged on one side of the feeding pipe, and the level gauge is divided into a first level gauge 2 and a second level gauge 6. In order to further improve the accuracy of feeding, a metering component capable of measuring the discharge amount of the feeding pipe is also provided on the upper part of the pipeline.

[0011] The metering component includes a feeding pump and a flow meter, which are connected in series on the upper part of the pipeline in sequence, so that the raw materials in the feeding pipe are extracted by the feeding pump, and the raw materials extracted by the feeding pump are metered by the flow meter.

[0012] There are two groups of metering components, one of which is arranged on the upper part of the pipeline between the feeding pipes, and the other is arranged between the feeding pipes and the reactor 9. The feeding pump is divided into a first feeding pump 4 and a second feeding pump 8, and the flow meter is divided into a first flow meter 3 and a second flow meter 7.

[0013] A paddle with a rod driven by a motor is vertically arranged inside the reactor 9 to stir the raw materials and prevent the raw materials from being stratified or precipitated.

[0014] In order to improve the accuracy of the liquid level meter, the feeding pipe is a cylindrical pipe structure, and the liquid level change can be converted into the actual feeding amount through volume conversion operation.

[0015] The feeding method is as follows:

[0016] (1) The slope of the curve of the time change of the liquid level in the first feeding pipe 1 is -k, which is a constant value when the feeding is normal and no material is added;

[0017] (2) The first feeding pipe 1 is indirectly supplemented with raw materials through the raw material tank or other means. When adding raw materials normally, the liquid level in the first feeding pipe 1 drops normally, and the liquid level in the first feeding pipe 1 remains unchanged;

[0018] (3) The feed pump adjusts the pump power in real time according to the flow meter reading to stabilize the flow required by the process;

[0019] (4) The first flow meter 3 and the second flow meter 7 are set to the same feeding flow rate, and the real-time feeding accuracy can be judged by comparing the real-time flow rates of the first flow meter 3 and the second flow meter 7;

[0020] (5) The slope -k of the curve of the time change of the liquid level in the first feeding tube 1 should remain unchanged. The accuracy of feeding in a short time can be judged by the change of the liquid level in the feeding tube;

[0021] (6) The liquid level of the second feeding pipe 5 level gauge should remain unchanged. The feeding accuracy in a short period of time can be judged by the change of the feeding pipe liquid level;

[0022] Method for judging the accuracy of feeding:

[0023] (1) The flow rate displayed by the first flow meter 3 is higher / lower than the normal feeding value, the liquid level of the first feeding pipe 1 drops / rises, and the power of the first feeding pump 4 is too high / low. Adjust the power of the first feeding pump 4 to the normal feeding value of the first flow meter 3;

[0024] (2) The flow rate displayed by the second flow meter 7 is higher / lower than the normal feeding value, the liquid level of the second feeding pipe 5 drops / rises, and the power of the first feeding pump 4 is too high / low. Adjust the power of the first feeding pump 4 to the normal feeding value of the first flow meter 3;

[0025] (3) The first flow meter 3 and the second flow meter 7 display normal feeding values, the liquid level of the second feeding pipe 5 drops / rises, and the time change of the liquid level of the first feeding pipe 1 is recorded as the slope -k of the curve without change, which means that the second flow meter 7 is faulty; at this time, the reading of the second flow meter 7 should be abandoned, and the liquid level of the second feeding pipe 5 should be kept consistent with the previous reading to achieve accurate feeding. If the feeding amount needs to be adjusted, the first flow meter 3 shall prevail;

[0026] (4) If the first flow meter 3 and the second flow meter 7 show normal feeding values, the liquid level in the second feeding pipe 5 drops / rises, and the time change of the liquid level in the first feeding pipe 1 is recorded as the slope -k change of the curve, it means that the first flow meter 3 has failed. At this time, the reading of the first flow meter 3 should be abandoned, and the liquid level in the second feeding pipe 5 should be kept consistent with the previous reading to achieve accurate feeding. If the feeding amount needs to be adjusted, the second flow meter 7 shall prevail.

[0027] In summary, by designing two sets of feeding pipes and supplementing them with corresponding liquid level gauges and metering components, quadruple metering operation can be achieved, which can effectively determine the offset of the flow meter and provide real-time feedback on the accuracy of the feeding amount.
