[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] Figure 1 The overall structure diagram provided for the embodiments of the present application, the present embodiment discloses a device for controlling the discharge amount of a bucket wheel machine hopper, comprising: a base 1, a wheel bucket hook tooth device 2, a support seat 3;
[0030] The wheel bucket motor 4 is fixedly arranged on the top of the base 1, and the output end of the wheel bucket motor 4 is drivingly connected with a speed reducer 5;
[0031] The output end of the speed reducer 5 is fixedly connected with a linkage main shaft 6, and the other end of the linkage main shaft 6 is cooperatively provided with the wheel bucket hook tooth device 2;
[0032] The wheel bucket hook tooth device 2 is internally connected with a material sliding groove 7 downwardly and obliquely, the material sliding groove 7 is fixedly arranged with a material guide groove 8 at the bottom, and the material guide groove 8 is hingedly connected with the support seat 3.
[0033] In a possible implementation, the wheel bucket hook tooth device 2 comprises a wheel body 201, a bucket wheel 202 and a retainer 203.
[0034] In a possible implementation, the bucket wheel 202 is embedded in one side surface of the wheel body 201 and is rotationally connected with the side surface;
[0035] The retainer 203 is fixedly arranged at the center position of the wheel body 201, and a fixing device is connected to the lower end of the retainer 203, and the other end of the fixing device is connected to the bottom of the wheel body 201;
[0036] The retainer 203 is fixedly connected with the linkage main shaft 6, and the output end of the linkage main shaft 6 is fixed to the center of the retainer 203.
[0037] In a possible implementation, the support seat 3 is provided with a pin shaft type weight sensor at the hinge with the material guide groove 8, which is used to detect the weight of the material in the hopper;
[0038] Specifically, the downward angle of the material chute 7 inserted into the wheel bucket hook tooth device 2 is linearly related to the weight measured by the pin shaft type weight sensor.
[0039] In a possible implementation, the linkage main shaft 6 is fixedly provided with an angle encoder;
[0040] Specifically, the angle encoder is used for coordinated action of the control system, and the analog quantity is 4-20mA, which corresponds to 0-1500T / H.
[0041] In a possible implementation, the device for controlling the discharge amount of the hopper of the bucket wheel machine further comprises a PLC controller, and a mainboard, a memory bar, a storage medium and a power supply are used in conjunction with the PLC controller. The power supply is a commercial power supply or a lithium battery. The position of the controller is set by the staff according to the actual situation during operation. The controller is used to control the electrical devices used in the present scheme, including but not limited to the wheel bucket motor 4, the speed reducer 5, the linkage main shaft 6, the weight sensor and the angle encoder. When a display screen is provided, a display card is also provided. For the operating principle of the controller, please refer to “Automatic Control Principle” published by Tsinghua University Press, “Microcontroller Principle and Application Simulation Case” and “Sensor Principle and Application”. Other books in the field can also be read for reference. Other automatic control and electrical devices not mentioned are well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described here.
[0042] The specific implementation of the present example is as follows:
[0043] The operator first inputs an actual weight signal into the PLC controller. The PLC controller calculates the difference between the actual material flow and the given material flow through the input actual weight signal, and adjusts the speed of the wheel bucket motor 4 through the difference, thereby controlling the material taking speed of the bucket wheel 202. Since the downward angle of the material chute 7 inserted into the wheel bucket hook tooth device 2, i.e. the downward angle of the cantilever, is linearly related to the weight measured by the pin shaft type weight sensor, and the pin shaft type weight sensor detects the weight of the material in the hopper, the measured weight of the material is corrected through the downward angle data of the cantilever to obtain the real-time material weight. The actual material weight of the hopper is obtained by subtracting the gross weight of the hopper from the material, and the actual material flow is calculated in combination with the belt running speed of the bucket wheel 202.
[0044] In the taking material, the program in the PLC controller is pre-set to skip detection in the first five seconds of taking material, and the program starts to detect from the fifth second. Assuming that the discharge is set to 800T / H, the program starts to adjust the speed of the wheel bucket motor 4 to the flow of 800T / H through the feedback value. In order to prevent the mechanism from frequent action caused by data burst, all the sampling values are processed by filtering. The control program detects every five seconds, and if the weight value after five seconds is more than 0.5T higher than the weight value before five seconds, the program sends a fine adjustment instruction to adjust the output of the wheel bucket motor 4. If the error is less than or equal to 0.5T, the output of the wheel bucket motor 4 remains unchanged.
[0045] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them. The present application is not limited to the exact structure described above and illustrated in the drawings, and the specific implementation of the present application should not be limited to the above description. For ordinary skilled in the art to which the present application belongs, various changes and modifications made without departing from the concept of the present application should be considered as falling within the scope of protection of the present application.
