Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cannon technology, specifically to an intelligent jet air cannon. Background Technology

[0002] An air cannon, also known as an air flow aid, arch breaker, or blockage clearer, is a device that uses compressed air to generate a powerful shock wave. Its working principle involves suddenly ejecting compressed gas at speeds exceeding Mach 1 (sonic speed) directly into the blockage area of ​​stored bulk materials. The expanding shock wave overcomes the static friction of the material, restoring flow within the container. Utilizing aerodynamic principles, the air cannon uses air as its working medium. Through a differential pressure device and an automatically controlled fast exhaust valve, it instantly converts air pressure energy into air jet kinetic energy, generating a powerful impact force. This impact force can effectively clear blockages in confined spaces such as warehouses and pipelines.

[0003] Currently, most air cannons connected to pipes are manually operated. When the pipe is blocked, the switch is manually turned on to clear the blockage. This type of air cannon cannot determine whether the pipe is blocked, and cannot automatically start to clear the pipe in time when it is blocked, so it is not intelligent.

[0004] Therefore, an intelligent jet air cannon was proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

This type of air cannon cannot determine whether there is a blockage in the pipe, and cannot automatically start to unblock the pipe in time when there is a blockage, which is not intelligent.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A smart jet air cannon includes a material conveying pipe.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an electrically controlled valve is fitted onto the outer ring surface of one end of the conveying pipe. The material flows from the end of the conveying pipe where the electrically controlled valve is installed toward the pressure sensor inside the conveying pipe. The electrically controlled valve automatically opens when the conveying pipe is cleared and automatically closes when the conveying pipe is blocked.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the exhaust pipe is connected to a hexagonal nut, and one end of the top of the material conveying pipe is equipped with a threaded post.

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention uses a pressure sensor to monitor the pressure inside the conveying pipeline. When the pressure inside the pipeline increases, it indicates a blockage. When the pressure reaches a set value, the air pump automatically starts to inflate the air chamber. Once the gas pressure inside the air chamber reaches a certain value, it is instantly released through the exhaust pipe and enters the conveying pipeline. The instantaneous impact force dislodges the blockage, thus clearing the blockage. The entire process is automated, eliminating the need for manual activation when the pipeline is congested. This highly efficient and timely automatic handling of blockages ensures the stability of the pipeline's conveying flow rate, demonstrating a degree of intelligence. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example:

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides an intelligent jet air cannon, including a material conveying pipe 1. A pressure sensor 12 is embedded at one end of the material conveying pipe 1 to detect internal pressure and determine if there is blockage. An air chamber 2 is installed at the top of the material conveying pipe 1, and an exhaust pipe 22 is connected to one end of the air chamber 2, communicating with the interior of the material conveying pipe 1. An air pump 3 is installed at one end of the air chamber 2 to pump air into it. When in use, the intelligent jet air cannon monitors the pressure value inside the material conveying pipe 1 using the pressure sensor 12. When the pressure value increases, it indicates that there is a blockage inside the pipeline. When the pressure value increases to the set pressure value, the air pump 3 automatically starts to inflate the air chamber 2. After the gas pressure inside the air chamber 2 reaches a certain pressure value, it is released instantly through the exhaust pipe 22 and enters the material conveying pipeline 1. The instantaneous impact force is used to break open the blockage and achieve the purpose of unblocking. The air cannon operates automatically throughout the entire process. There is no need for manual operation of the air cannon when the pipeline is congested. It is highly efficient and can handle blockages automatically in a timely manner, ensuring the stability of the material conveying flow in the pipeline and having a certain degree of intelligent effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an electric control valve 11 is installed on the outer ring surface of one end of the conveying pipe 1. The material flows from the end of the conveying pipe 1 where the electric control valve 11 is installed towards the pressure sensor 12 inside the conveying pipe 1. The electric control valve 11 automatically opens when the conveying pipe 1 is cleared and automatically closes when the conveying pipe 1 is blocked. Therefore, it can partially close the pipe and ensure the instantaneous impact effect of the air cannon.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pressure gauge 21 is installed on the top of the air chamber 2. The pressure gauge 21 is used to display the pressure inside the conveying pipe 1 monitored by the pressure sensor 12. The pressure value displayed by the pressure gauge 21 can help the staff to determine whether there is a blockage in the pipe or whether a blockage is about to occur.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a wireless module is installed inside the wireless module protective cover 4. This wireless module can be wirelessly connected to an external PC terminal via software and can wirelessly control the controller 31, making the device more intelligent, practical and portable.

[0028] Working Principle: When this intelligent jet air cannon is in use, the material first flows from the end of the conveying pipe 1 equipped with an electrically controlled valve 11 towards the pressure sensor 12 inside the conveying pipe 1. The electrically controlled valve 11 automatically opens when the conveying pipe 1 is clear and automatically closes when the conveying pipe 1 is blocked. When the pressure sensor 12 detects an increase in the pressure value inside the conveying pipe 1, it indicates that there is a blockage inside the pipe. When the pressure value increases to the set pressure value, the air pump 3 automatically starts to inflate the air chamber 2. After the gas pressure inside the air chamber 2 reaches a certain pressure value, it is instantly released through the exhaust pipe 22 and enters the conveying pipe 1. The instantaneous impact force is used to break open the blockage, achieving the purpose of clearing the blockage. The entire process is automatic, and there is no need for manual operation when the pipe is congested. It is highly efficient and can automatically handle blockages in a timely manner, ensuring the stability of the conveying flow rate in the pipe and having a certain degree of intelligence.
