Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder dilution devices, in particular to a novel wet dilution device. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of powder production technology, online particle size monitoring technology is gaining increasing attention. Powder production can be divided into two types: wet production and dry production, depending on the medium used in the production process. This application relates to a technique for diluting powder samples during wet production of powders when performing online particle size measurement using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer (referred to as a "laser particle size analyzer").

[0003] Laser particle size analysis systems require that the sample concentration entering the measurement area be kept within a reasonable range (for example, a light shielding ratio of approximately 10%) when measuring particle size. In wet production processes, the actual powder concentration within the production line is often much higher than the concentration required by the laser particle size analyzer, and the concentration within the production line can sometimes vary over time. Therefore, online laser particle size analysis systems require an efficient, controllable slurry dilution device with an adjustable dilution factor.

[0004] There are two types of dilution devices currently available in China and abroad: cascade diluters and repetitive dilution devices. The former can only dilute at a fixed rate, while the latter has drawbacks such as being time-consuming, consuming large amounts of water, and producing insufficiently representative samples. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a novel wet dilution device, which can solve the problems of the existing diluter being unable to flexibly adjust the dilution multiple, being time-consuming, consuming a large amount of water, and having insufficient sampling representativeness.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A novel wet dilution device comprises a primary dilution tank and a secondary dilution tank, wherein a sampling structure is provided between the primary dilution tank and the secondary dilution tank, and the two tanks are interconnected through the sampling structure; a controllable input structure for a primary dilution liquid is provided on one side of the primary dilution tank, and a controllable input structure for a secondary dilution liquid is provided on one side of the secondary dilution tank; a primary stirring device is provided inside the primary dilution tank, and a secondary stirring device is provided inside the secondary dilution tank; and a detection device is provided on one side of the secondary dilution tank.

[0008] Preferably, the controllable input structure for the first-level diluent includes a first-level diluent inlet arranged on one side of the first-level dilution tank, and the first-level dilution inlet introduces dilution from the outside through a pipeline; a first-level flow meter and a first-level dilution valve are arranged outside the first-level dilution inlet.

[0009] The controllable input structure for the primary diluent includes a secondary diluent inlet arranged on one side of the secondary dilution tank, which introduces diluent from the outside through a pipeline; a secondary flow meter and a secondary diluent valve are arranged outside the secondary dilution inlet.

[0010] Preferably, the sampling structure includes a primary circulation pipe disposed on one side of the primary dilution tank and a secondary slurry inlet disposed on the secondary dilution tank. A quantitative sampling valve is provided on the primary circulation pipe, and the secondary slurry inlet is connected to the quantitative sampling valve via a pipe. By rotating the quantitative sampling valve, the mixed liquid in the primary dilution tank can be drained into the secondary dilution tank.

[0011] Preferably, the primary stirring device comprises a primary pump arranged at the bottom of the primary dilution tank, the primary pump being provided with a primary stirring shaft, and the primary stirring shaft being provided with a primary stirring blade.

[0012] Preferably, the secondary stirring device comprises a secondary pump arranged at the bottom of the secondary dilution tank, wherein a secondary stirring shaft is mounted on the secondary pump, and a secondary stirring blade is mounted on the secondary stirring shaft.

[0013] Preferably, a primary discharge valve is further provided at the inner bottom of the primary dilution tank.

[0014] Preferably, a secondary discharge valve is further provided at the inner bottom of the secondary dilution tank.

[0015] Preferably, the detection device includes a secondary circulation pipe arranged on one side of the secondary dilution tank, and a particle size measurement unit is connected in the middle of the secondary circulation pipe for measuring the mixed liquid after being diluted in the secondary dilution tank.

[0016] Preferably, an original slurry inlet is provided at the top of the primary dilution tank for inputting an appropriate amount of original slurry into the primary dilution tank.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0018] 1) It can quickly achieve high dilution. For example, if the dilution ratios of the first and second stages are both 100, the final dilution ratio is 10,000.

[0019] 2) Taking out the first-stage mixed liquid from the circulation line 10 is more representative.

[0020] 3) Since only two dilutions are required and the total water consumption for the first round of dilution does not exceed the volume of two dilution tanks (each volume is about 160 mL), the dilution water consumption is very small.

[0021] 4) Since the sampling volume and the amount of diluent added can be measured and controlled, the dilution ratio can be adjusted as needed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The utility model achieves flexible adjustment of the dilution ratio through a controllable first-stage diluent input structure and a controllable second-stage diluent input structure. The first-stage stirring device and the second-stage stirring device can quickly dilute the original slurry, and then the diluted mixed liquid is measured by the detection device. Among them, the sampling structure allows the sampling amount of the mixed liquid to be controlled, and the sampling is representative.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, a novel wet dilution device includes a primary dilution tank 6 and a secondary dilution tank 17. A sampling structure is provided between the primary dilution tank 6 and the secondary dilution tank 17, and the primary dilution tank 6 and the secondary dilution tank 17 are interconnected through the sampling structure; a primary dilution liquid controllable input structure is provided on one side of the primary dilution tank 6, and a secondary dilution liquid controllable input structure is provided on one side of the secondary dilution tank 17; a primary stirring device is provided inside the primary dilution tank 6, and a secondary stirring device is provided inside the secondary dilution tank 17; and a detection device is provided on one side of the secondary dilution tank 17.

[0030] Furthermore, the controllable input structure of the primary diluent includes a primary diluent inlet 3 provided on one side of the primary dilution tank 6, the primary diluent inlet 3 introduces diluent from the outside through a pipeline; a primary flowmeter 4 and a primary diluent valve 5 are provided on the outside of the primary dilution inlet 3;

[0031] The controllable input structure of the primary diluent includes a secondary diluent inlet 14 arranged on one side of the secondary dilution tank 17. The secondary diluent inlet 14 introduces diluent from the outside through a pipeline; a secondary flow meter 15 and a secondary diluent valve 16 are arranged outside the secondary dilution inlet 14.

[0032] Furthermore, the sampling structure includes a primary circulation pipe 10 arranged on one side of the primary dilution tank 6 and a secondary slurry inlet 13 arranged on the secondary dilution tank 17; a quantitative sampling valve 11 is provided on the primary circulation pipe 10, and the secondary slurry inlet 13 is connected to the quantitative sampling valve 11 through a pipeline. By rotating the quantitative sampling valve 11, the mixed liquid in the primary dilution tank 6 can be drained into the secondary dilution tank 17.

[0033] It should be noted that the primary circulation pipe 10 is divided into two sections, which are respectively arranged at the bottom and the top of the primary dilution tank 6 , so that the dilution liquid circulates in the primary circulation pipe 10 and the primary dilution tank 6 .

[0034] Furthermore, the primary stirring device includes a primary pump 9 arranged at the bottom of the primary dilution tank 6. A primary stirring shaft 1 is mounted on the primary pump 9, and a primary stirring blade 7 is mounted on the primary stirring shaft 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the secondary stirring device includes a secondary pump 20 disposed at the bottom of the secondary dilution tank 17. A secondary stirring shaft 12 is mounted on the secondary pump 20, and a secondary stirring blade 18 is mounted on the secondary stirring shaft 12.

[0036] Furthermore, a primary discharge valve 8 is provided at the inner bottom of the primary dilution tank 6 .

[0037] Furthermore, a secondary discharge valve 19 is provided at the inner bottom of the secondary dilution tank 17 .

[0038] Furthermore, the detection device includes a secondary circulation pipe 21 arranged on one side of the secondary dilution tank 17 , and a particle size measurement unit 22 is connected in the middle of the secondary circulation pipe 21 for measuring the mixed liquid diluted by the secondary dilution tank 17 .

[0039] It should be noted that the secondary circulation pipe 21 is divided into two sections, which are respectively arranged at the bottom and the top of the secondary dilution tank 17, so that the dilution liquid circulates in the secondary circulation pipe 21, the particle size measurement unit 22 and the secondary dilution tank 17. Both the primary pump 9 and the secondary pump 20 are centrifugal pumps.

[0040] Furthermore, a raw slurry inlet 2 is provided at the top of the primary dilution tank 6 for inputting an appropriate amount of raw slurry into the primary dilution tank 6 .

[0041] The working process is as follows: first, open the primary dilution valve 5, and inject an appropriate amount of dilution into the primary dilution tank 6 under the monitoring of the primary flow meter 4; open the secondary dilution valve 16, and inject an appropriate amount of dilution into the secondary dilution tank 17 under the monitoring of the secondary flow meter 15;

[0042] Start the primary stirring shaft 1 and the secondary stirring shaft 12, so that the dilution in the two dilution tanks is in a high-speed flow state. At the same time, the blades of the primary pump 9 and the secondary pump 20 start to rotate, and the dilution flows in the primary circulation pipe 10 and the secondary circulation pipe 21.

[0043] An appropriate amount of raw slurry is fed into the primary dilution tank 6 through the raw slurry inlet 2. The primary agitator shaft 1 stirs the slurry for an appropriate period of time (e.g., 30 seconds) to ensure uniform mixing and good dispersion within the primary dilution tank. Due to the centrifugal pump, the particle size distribution of the liquid in the primary circulation pipe 10 is consistent with that of the liquid in the primary dilution tank 6.

[0044] Use the quantitative sampling valve 11 to take out an appropriate amount of primary mixed liquid from the primary circulation pipe 10 and inject it into the secondary dilution tank 17 through the secondary slurry inlet 13. Under the stirring of the secondary stirring blade 18 and the action of the secondary pump 20, the slurry will be further diluted and stirred, and enter the particle size measurement unit 22 through the secondary circulation pipe 21.

[0045] The particle size measurement unit 22 measures the diluted mixed solution. If the sample concentration is within the appropriate range, dilution is complete and the particle size measurement unit 22 can proceed to the actual particle size measurement. If the sample concentration exceeds the appropriate range, the concentration can be adjusted to the appropriate value by adding more primary mixed solution or secondary diluent. After the measurement is completed, the mixed solution is discharged through the primary discharge valve 8 and the secondary discharge valve 19. The two dilution tanks and pipelines are then cleaned, and the measurement is concluded.
