Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sulfuric acid concentration detection, in particular to an automatic sulfuric acid concentration detection device. Background Art
[0002] Sulfuric acid plants require accurate sulfuric acid concentration during production. Because sulfuric acid concentration is crucial to plant safety and product quality, each plant is designed to manually sample and analyze sulfuric acid concentration to ensure accurate concentration. Currently, this manual sulfuric acid sampling is conducted from the acid pipeline through a 16mm stainless steel tube to the top of the circulation tank, where it flows into a sampling bucket. Excess sulfuric acid then flows into the circulation tank through a hole in the bottom of the sampling bucket. Since the liquid level in the circulation tank fluctuates during operation, pressure fluctuations within the tank occur.
[0003] When the liquid level in the circulation tank fluctuates upward, positive pressure builds up inside. Since the bottom pipe of the sampling bucket is connected to the circulation tank, the pressure inside the circulation tank is released into the sampling bucket. Since the sampling bucket is constantly flowing with sampled sulfuric acid, the rising pressure in the tank will blow the sampled sulfuric acid out, creating acid mist and foam in the sampling bucket that pollutes the environment or poses a safety hazard to the sampling personnel. Therefore, it is imperative to address the current issues with sulfuric acid sampling buckets. We are now applying for an automatic sulfuric acid concentration detection device. Utility Model Content

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0014] Figure 1 It is the internal structure diagram of the detection device of the utility model.
[0015] In the figure: housing 1; sampling valve 2; liquid level sensor 3; first sulfuric acid concentration meter 4; second sulfuric acid concentration meter 5; controller 6; acid discharge pump 7; display screen 8; protective cover 9; discharge port 10; inspection door 11; docking port 12; baffle 13; liquid inlet pipe 14. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] like Figure 1As shown, an automatic detection device for sulfuric acid concentration is provided. A liquid inlet pipe 14 is provided on one side of the shell 1, and a sampling valve 2 is provided on the upper end of the liquid inlet pipe 14. A closed cavity is provided in the upper half of one side of the interior of the shell 1. A first sulfuric acid concentration meter 4 and a second sulfuric acid concentration meter 5 are provided inside the cavity. The detection ends of the first sulfuric acid concentration meter 4 and the second sulfuric acid concentration meter 5 extend into the interior of the shell 1 and the ends are close to the bottom of the shell 1. A liquid level sensor 3 is also provided between the first sulfuric acid concentration meter 4 and the second sulfuric acid concentration meter 5. The detection end of the liquid level sensor 3 passes through the cavity toward the interior of the shell 1. A drain port 10 is also provided on one side of the bottom of the shell 1, and an acid discharge pump 7 is provided on the drain port 10.
[0017] The automatic detection device for sulfuric acid concentration forms a sulfuric acid static pressure seal in the sampling barrel. The pressure generated in the circulation tank is sealed by the static pressure of about 9Kpa generated by sulfuric acid at a height of 250mm, so that the acid gas in the circulation tank will not flow out from the sampling position.
[0018] The working principle is: the sampled sulfuric acid flows into the housing 1 of the automatic sulfuric acid concentration detection device through the sampling valve 2. In order to prevent liquid splashing, a baffle 13 is provided inside the sampler. The liquid level sensor 3 starts recording. When the liquid level exceeds 10 mm, the PLC controller 6 controls the sampling valve 2 to close. After 1 minute, the acid discharge pump 7 starts to discharge liquid, and the indicator light is always green.
[0019] The sulfuric acid concentration detector starts to read. If the detected values differ by more than 0.5%, the display screen 8 will display the values of sulfuric acid concentration meters 1 and 2 and the average value respectively, and the indicator light will turn yellow, indicating that the sulfuric acid concentration detector may be reading inaccurate and needs to be corrected.
[0020] If the difference between the test values is less than 0.5%, the display will show the value. When the average value is lower than 98%, the display indicator will turn red, indicating that the sulfuric acid concentration is unqualified. When the average value is higher than 98%, the display indicator will turn green, indicating that the sulfuric acid concentration is qualified.
[0021] After completion, the sulfuric acid flows into the circulation tank through the acid discharge pump, thereby sending the acid gas in the circulation tank to the sealing group to achieve closed sampling of sulfuric acid. When the liquid level drops to 0, the acid discharge pump is turned off.
[0022] In the preferred embodiment, a controller 6 is further provided on the housing 1 , and the controller 6 is electrically connected to the first sulfuric acid concentration meter 4 , the second sulfuric acid concentration meter 5 , the liquid level sensor 3 , the sampling valve 2 and the acid discharge pump 7 , and the controller 6 is electrically connected to the display screen 8 .
[0023] The functions of controller 6 are:
[0024] Control the sampling process: Control the switch of the sampling valve 2 to control the flow of sulfuric acid into the housing 1. When the liquid level sensor 3 detects that the liquid level exceeds 10 mm, the controller 6 will close the sampling valve 2 to stop the flow of sulfuric acid.
[0025] Monitor liquid level changes: Liquid level sensor 3 monitors changes in the sulfuric acid level inside housing 1. Start acid discharge pump 7: One minute after sampling, controller 6 starts acid discharge pump 7 to discharge sulfuric acid into the circulation tank. Control the shutdown of acid discharge pump 7: When the liquid level drops to 0, controller 6 shuts off acid discharge pump 7.
[0026] Sulfuric acid concentration detection and display: Control the first sulfuric acid concentration meter 4 and the second sulfuric acid concentration meter 5 to perform concentration detection.
[0027] If the detection results of the two concentration meters differ by more than 0.5%, the controller 6 will cause the display screen 8 to display the values of the two concentration meters and the average value, and turn the indicator light yellow to indicate that calibration is required.
[0028] If the difference between the detection results of the two concentration meters does not exceed 0.5%, the controller 6 will cause the display screen 8 to display the average value.
[0029] If the average value is lower than 98%, the indicator light on the display turns red, indicating that the sulfuric acid concentration is unqualified.
[0030] If the average value is higher than 98%, the display indicator turns green, indicating that the sulfuric acid concentration is qualified.
[0031] In the preferred embodiment, an inspection door 11 is provided above the detection chamber on one side of the housing 1. After the inspection door 11 is opened, the controller 6, the first sulfuric acid concentration meter 4, the second sulfuric acid concentration meter 5 and the liquid level sensor 3 can be repaired and installed.
[0032] In the preferred embodiment, the lower end of the liquid inlet pipe 14 extends into the interior of the housing 1. A baffle 13 is provided on one side of the liquid inlet pipe 14, with its lower end near the bottom of the housing 1. The design of baffle 13 effectively reduces the impact of sulfuric acid entering the housing 1, thereby preventing sulfuric acid droplets from splashing. Baffle 13 helps guide the sulfuric acid to flow smoothly toward the bottom of the housing 1, ensuring even distribution and facilitating subsequent concentration testing.
[0033] By slowing down the flow rate of sulfuric acid, the baffle 13 helps maintain the stability of the liquid level inside the shell 1, which is crucial for accurate measurement of the liquid level and concentration.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a protective cover 9 is further provided on one side of the exterior of the housing 1 , and the protective cover 9 covers the exterior of the acid discharge pump 7 . The protective cover 9 is used to protect the acid discharge pump 7 .
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the material of the housing 1 is 316L stainless steel or 17-4PH stainless steel. Both 316L stainless steel and 17-4PH stainless steel have good corrosion resistance. The stainless steel material is selected according to the usage.

The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions set forth in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions set forth in the claims. Equivalent alternatives and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
