Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter press technology, and in particular to a filter press filtrate monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] The formation of coal is a geological process that has taken hundreds of millions of years, beginning between the Paleozoic and Cenozoic eras. When large amounts of plant remains were deposited in oxygen-deficient environments in wetlands, river deltas, or at the bottom of lakes, they were subsequently compacted, dehydrated, decomposed by bacteria, and gradually transformed into the coal we see today through a process of increasing temperature and pressure. Raw coal contains a large number of impurities, such as rocks, soil, sulfur, and ash. These impurities not only reduce the purity and calorific value of the coal, but also produce harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter during combustion, which have a serious impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, these impurities are removed through coal washing processes. The washed coal has a high moisture content and needs to be dehydrated by a filter press.

[0003] When dewatering clean coal, existing filter presses sometimes experience damage to filter plates or filter cloths during the filtration process, leading to the production of black water in the filtrate. The current solution is to have patrol personnel conduct manual inspections during the operation of the filter press. However, manual inspections have significant limitations. They not only increase the workload of manual inspectors but also fail to detect black water in a timely manner, thus affecting the safe and stable operation of the equipment and the dewatering process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Currently, when dewatering clean coal, filter presses sometimes experience damage to filter plates or filter cloths during the filtration process, leading to the production of black water in the filtrate. The current solution is to have patrol personnel conduct manual inspections during the operation of the filter press. However, manual inspections have significant limitations. They not only increase the workload of manual inspectors but also fail to detect black water in a timely manner, thus affecting the safe and stable operation of the equipment and the dewatering process.

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a filter press filtrate monitoring device, including a filtrate discharge pipe 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the upper outer end of the filtrate discharge pipe 1, an optical sensor 3 fixedly installed on the upper outer end of the filtrate discharge pipe 1, a buzzer alarm 4 fixedly installed on the front of the support frame 2, a sealing frame 5 fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the support frame 2, and a locking block 6 fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the support frame 2.

[0027] The upper surface of the support frame 2 is provided with a rotating light-blocking mechanism, which includes an outer light-blocking cover 7, an inner light-blocking cover 71, a fixed block 72, a rotating block 73 and a support rod 74. The rotating light-blocking mechanism enables the upper end of the optical sensor 3 to be rotated and blocked.

[0028] By spraying black matte paint on the inner walls of both the outer light shield 7 and the inner light shield 71, light reflection can be greatly reduced. The outer light shield 7 and the support frame 2 cooperate to initially shield the optical sensor 3, and then the inner light shield 71 and the sealing frame 5 cooperate to further shield the light, thereby further avoiding the refracted light generated through the gap between the outer light shield 7 and the support frame 2, thus improving the light shielding effect.

[0029] One end of the fixed block 72 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the support frame 2, the lower end of the support rod 74 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed block 72, and the inner wall of the rotating block 73 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support rod 74 through a bearing.

[0030] The outer light shield 7 is rotated and opened by the cooperation of the support rod 74 and the rotating block 73, which facilitates the calibration and maintenance of the internal optical sensor 3 and improves the operating efficiency.

[0031] One end of each of the two rotating blocks 73 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the outer light shield 7, and the lower end of the outer light shield 7 is in contact with the upper end of the support frame 2, thereby achieving the effect of initially shielding the internal optical sensor 3 and improving the accuracy of the monitoring results. The inner walls on both sides of the outer light shield 7 are provided with symmetrically distributed guide grooves 75.

[0032] The inner wall of the guide groove 75 is slidably connected with guide sliders 76. The opposing surfaces of the two guide sliders 76 are fixedly connected to the two side surfaces of the inner light shield 71. The lower end of the inner light shield 71 contacts the upper end of the sealing frame 5. The cooperation between the inner light shield 71 and the sealing frame 5 serves to block light from the gap between the outer light shield 7 and the support frame 2, thereby further improving the light shielding effect.

[0033] One of the guide sliders 76 has a fixed connection to a limiting rod 77 at its lower end. One end of the limiting rod 77 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the locking block 6. The cooperation between the limiting rod 77 and the locking block 6 serves to limit and fix the external light shield 7 and the support frame 2, preventing random rotation and improving the stability of the light shield.

[0034] The upper end of the outer light shield 7 is rotatably connected to a screw 78 via a bearing. The upper end of the screw 78 is fixedly connected to a drive handle 79. The drive handle 79 facilitates the operator to rotate the screw 78, which not only reduces the intensity of manual labor but also improves operating efficiency.

[0035] The lower end of the screw 78 is threaded with a threaded sleeve 710. The lower end of the threaded sleeve 710 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner light shield 71. The threaded sleeve 710 plays the role of cooperating to drive the inner light shield 71 to adjust up and down, thereby facilitating the rotation and opening and closing of the outer light shield 7 and the support frame 2.

[0036] By rotating the light-blocking mechanism, the light around the optical sensor 3 is blocked, preventing the optical sensor 3 from receiving additional light signals. This improves the accuracy of the optical sensor 3 in detecting the optical characteristics of the filtrate, such as color and transparency. When black water appears in the filtrate discharge pipe 1, an alarm can be issued in time to remind the staff to respond. This not only reduces the workload, but also ensures the stable operation of the equipment through timely detection.

[0037] The working process of this utility model:

[0038] Step 1: The optical sensor 3 is initially shielded from light by the cooperation of the outer light shield 7 and the support frame 2. Then, the inner light shield 71 is further shielded from light by the cooperation of the sealing frame 5, thereby further preventing the refracted light from being generated through the gap between the outer light shield 7 and the support frame 2. By installing the optical sensor 3 on the filtrate discharge pipe 1, it can directly contact the filtrate. The optical sensor 3 emits light of a specific wavelength. The clarity of the filtrate is judged by detecting the light intensity or the intensity of the scattered light passing through the filtrate. When the light intensity change exceeds the preset threshold, it is determined that black water has appeared. At this time, the buzzer alarm 4 sounds to prompt the inspection personnel to respond, thereby achieving the effect of real-time monitoring of the filtrate.

[0039] Step two: When the optical sensor 3 needs to be calibrated and maintained periodically, the screw 78 is rotated by the drive handle 79. The rotation of the screw 78 causes the inner light shield 71 to move upward through the cooperation of the guide groove 75 and the guide slider 76. At the same time, the movement of the guide slider 76 causes the limiting rod 77 to move upward and disengage from the limiting rod 77. When the inner light shield 71 moves away from the sealing frame 5 and rises into the outer light shield 7, the outer light shield 7 is rotated. The outer light shield 7 is opened by the cooperation of the support rod 74 and the rotating block 73, which facilitates the calibration and maintenance of the internal optical sensor 3.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
