Therefore, the features with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one feature.

[0024] The technical content of the utility model will be described in detail below, taking the number of belt conveyors, storage bins and pulping devices as 2 sets per seat per set, and taking the one-open-one-back operation mode in the production process as an example.

[0025] The high-concentration filling slurry automatic pulping system of the utility model comprises a feeding unit, a storage unit, a control unit and a pulping unit. After the powder is conveyed to the storage unit through the feeding unit, the powder is synchronously sent into the pulping unit for pulping according to the weight measurement ratio set by the control unit and water, and high-concentration filling slurry is obtained.

[0026] Figure 1 It is a specific embodiment of the utility model.

[0027] As Figure 1 The utility model discloses a high concentration filling material pulp automatic system of making pulp based on PLC, including belt conveyor 1, screw feeder 2, storage bin 3 and pulp making device 6, the top of pulp making device 6 is provided with the powder pipeline 4 of connecting storage bin 3 and the clear water pipeline 5 of conveying pulp water, the bottom of pulp making device 6 is provided with the pulp delivery pipeline 7 of output slurry, the system still includes PLC control center 8, monitoring mechanism and actuating mechanism, the signal that monitoring mechanism will monitor real -time transmission to PLC control center 8, and after the signal conversion of PLC control center 8, various corresponding control commands that actuating mechanism issues, control the weight ration of powder and water that enter pulp making device 6, realize the automatic preparation of high concentration filling material pulp.

[0028] The signal value of the second weight induction instrument 64 at the bottom of the pulp making device 6 affects the opening of the second electric gate 33 of the storage bin 3, when the material is conveyed to the pulp making device 6 through the screw feeder 2, and reaches the weight setting value of the system, the second electric gate 33 of the storage bin 3 is closed, the third electric gate 61 of the clear water pipeline 5 is opened, when the total amount of material and water in the system reaches the setting value of the slurry system, the electric gate 61 of the clear water pipeline is closed, the stirring motor 62 of the pulp making device 6 is started, and the high concentration filling material pulp is prepared.

[0029] As Figure 2As shown, the top and bottom of the screw feeder 2 are respectively provided with a motor 21 and a first electric gate 24, the screw feeder 2 drives the screw device 22 to work through the motor 21, and the bottom of the screw feeder 2 is provided with a first arch breaking and flow assisting device 23, so that in the case of equipment blockage, the blockage is removed by blowing air. During the working process, when the powder raw material is transported into the screw feeder 2, the first weight sensor 25 at the bottom thereof continuously monitors the quality of the raw material. When the set value input by the system in advance is reached, the upper computer 81 sends a warning signal, and the material transportation unit stops working. At this time, a working signal is input, and the PLC controller 82 instructs the motor 21 to work. During the working process, a preset stirring time can be input to the PLC controller 82 according to the actual situation, so as to ensure that the powder in the device can be uniformly mixed within the time period. When the set time is reached, the motor 21 will no longer work, and at this time the PLC controller 82 instructs the first electric gate 24 at the bottom of the screw feeder 2 to open, and the uniformly mixed powder is transported to the storage bin 3. The first weight sensor 25 is always in working state during the whole process, and if it is monitored that the quality of the powder in the screw feeder 2 is unchanged for a long time and is greater than the empty bin state, the PLC controller 82 will be triggered to instruct the arch breaking and flow assisting device 32, so as to handle the possible bin blockage problem. During the process of clearing the blocked powder in the bin by the first arch breaking and flow assisting device 23, the first weight sensor 25 continuously monitors the weight of the powder in the screw feeder 2 in real time until all the powder in the screw feeder is transported to the storage bin. Then, the first electric gate 24 at the bottom of the screw feeder 2 is closed, and the next powder mixing link is entered.

[0030] The working principle of the first weight sensor 25 in the system is that the weight in the empty bin state and the limited weight that the screw feeder 2 can bear are respectively input to the PLC controller 82. When the limited value of the screw feeder 2 is reached, the PLC controller 82 sends a warning signal to stop the powder transportation work; when the filling powder is transported into the storage bin 3, the first weight sensor 25 continuously transmits the monitored weight value of the powder in the screw feeder 2 in the time interval to the PLC controller 82, and the PLC controller 82 compares the monitoring value with the weight value monitored in the empty bin state, and when the difference falls within a certain reasonable range, it can be determined that the powder transportation is complete. At this time, the first electric gate 24 of the screw feeder 2 is automatically closed; if the specified time is exceeded, the clearing device will be started.

[0031] As Figure 3As shown, the storage silo 3 is a cylindrical concrete structure. Inside, a second electric gate 33 is installed at the bottom. Above the second electric gate 33, on the side wall, a contact sensor 31 and a second arch-breaking flow aid 32 are installed. The contact sensor 31 monitors the material storage status in the silo in real time to prevent empty silos and ensure a sufficient supply of pulping raw materials. The second arch-breaking flow aid 32 near the discharge port clears accumulated material promptly to prevent silo blockage. The opening of the second electric gate 33 and the second arch-breaking flow aid 32 is directly controlled by the PLC controller 82. The issuance of control commands is mainly affected by the weight value sensed by the second weight sensor 64 located at the bottom of the pulping device 6.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the pulping device 6 includes a stirring motor 62, a third electric gate 61, a fourth electric gate 63, and a second weight sensor 64. During operation, three comparison values ​​are set for the second weight sensor 64 at the bottom of the pulping device 6: empty chamber value, powder value, and pulp value. When the system starts operating, if the metering mechanism detects that the pulping device 6 is empty and the storage silo 3 has a storage capacity greater than the lower limit, the system will automatically open the second electric gate 33 located at the bottom of the storage silo 6 to transport the uniformly mixed powder to the pulping device 6. This operating principle is basically the same as the principle of the screw feeder 2 conveying powder to the storage silo 3. If the metering mechanism detects that the powder has not reached the required limit value for a long time, the system will activate the second arch-breaking and flow-aiding device 32 on the outer side of the bottom of the storage silo 3 to handle the blockage; if the metering mechanism detects that the powder mass in the pulping device has reached the limit value, the system will close the second electric gate 33 at the bottom of the storage silo 3. At this point, the powder content in the system will serve as the command to open the third electric gate 61 controlling the clean water pipe 5, allowing clean water to flow into the pulping device 6 through the clean water pipe 5. When the metering mechanism detects that the total mass of powder and clean water in the pulping device 6 reaches the slurry content, the system closes the third electric gate 61 controlling the clean water pipe 5 and sends a command to the stirring motor 62 to mix the powder and clean water evenly within a set time to form the slurry material. After the set time is reached, the stirring motor 62 stops working, and the fourth electric gate 63 at the bottom of the pulping device 6 opens, transporting the prepared slurry to the slurry conveying pipe 7 for filling. When the metering mechanism detects that all the slurry has flowed into the slurry conveying pipe 7, the system closes the fourth electric gate 63 at the bottom of the pulping device 6. The pulping device 6 then begins the next pulping process.

[0033] The utility model discloses a preferred embodiment, the PLC control center 8 includes PLC controller 82 and host computer 81, the monitoring mechanism is by contact sensor 31, first weight inductive instrument 25 and second weight inductive instrument 64 are formed, wherein contact sensor 31 sets up in the storage bin 3, and first weight inductive instrument 25 sets up at the bottom of screw feeder 2, and second weight inductive instrument 64 sets up at the bottom of pulping device 6, the executing mechanism includes motor 21, stirring motor 62, first electric gate 24, second electric gate 33, third electric gate 61 and fourth electric gate 63, wherein, motor 21 and first electric gate 24 are arranged at the top and bottom of screw feeder 2 respectively, stirring motor 62, third electric gate 61 are arranged at the top of pulping device 6 respectively, fourth electric gate 63 is arranged at the bottom of pulping device 6, and second electric gate 33 is arranged at the bottom of storage bin 3, the monitoring mechanism and executing mechanism are connected with PLC controller 82, and PLC controller 82 communicates with host computer 81 through communication module.

[0034] Figure 5 、 Figure 6 It is respectively the PLC control principle schematic drawing, PLC center control element schematic drawing of the utility model. Among them, the PLC control system is composed of host computer (man-machine interface) 81 and PLC control unit 82. PLC control unit 82 is composed of Siemens S7-300 series PLC, including a PLC master station and ET200 remote station (PLC slave station). The PLC master station is composed of a CPU of S7-300, an industrial Ethernet communication module, a DP communication module and corresponding rack module and power module, mainly completes signal input output processing, logic calculation, communication processing etc. ET200 remote station is composed of ET200 communication module and corresponding digital input output module, analog input output module, completes the input collection of field detection signal and the output of output signal.

The PLC master station and the PLC slave station realize data exchange through Ethernet communication protocol.

[0035] In the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the number of the belt conveyor 1, the screw feeder 2, the storage bin 3 and the pulping device 6 in the system is 2 sets per seat per set, and a one-open-one-standby operation mode is adopted in the system operation process. When the pulp reserve of one set of equipment is insufficient, another set of equipment is started to replace the first set of equipment, and at this time, the first set of equipment starts to prepare materials to replace another set of equipment. In addition, when any set of equipment fails, the operation of another set of equipment does not affect the filling and grouting, and also saves time for the maintenance of the failed system, ensuring the smooth progress of the whole filling work. The double-system setting greatly improves the efficiency of filling and grouting, and improves the fault tolerance of the single system.
