In actual operation, due to improper control of physical property parameters, unreasonable matching of structure parameters and other factors, coal slime water may appear columnar from the underflow port, and even the underflow port may be blocked, which seriously affects the treatment effect of the hydraulic classification cyclone and even causes the hydraulic classification cyclone to be unable to operate normally.
[0003] At present, the underflow port operation monitoring state of the hydraulic classification cyclone still follows the traditional manual checking method, and some detection methods such as checking the vibration of the hydraulic classification cyclone, detecting the inlet pressure and overflow pressure of the cyclone and electromagnetic induction are also used. However, most of the cyclones are installed at a high position, and the on-site operation environment is deviated, so manual observation is very inconvenient. In addition, there are problems and phenomena such as large error in detecting the vibration of the cyclone, detecting the inlet pressure and overflow pressure of the cyclone and other parameters, and the measurement coil of the electromagnetic induction measurement method is placed below the underflow port, so the induction coil and the measurement electrode are easily disturbed by the coal slime water and are not easy to check and handle, and the detection accuracy and effect will be disturbed and affected to a certain extent.

[0027] The present application provides a cyclone underflow monitoring system, Figure 1 Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a cyclone underflow monitoring system in the present application. Figure 1As shown, a cyclone underflow monitoring system for monitoring the underflow state of a cyclone, comprising a cyclone 5, an underflow port 51 of the cyclone 5 is arranged at the inlet of a grit chamber 6, and the underflow after centrifugal separation is discharged from the underflow port 51 to the grit chamber 6. Further comprising at least one set of sensors 1, at least one set of sensors 1 is arranged below the underflow port 51 and located in the dense area of the underflow flowing out of the underflow port 51. At the same time, the sensor 1 in the application adopts a reflection type layout or a reflection type layout to detect the shape of the underflow, so as to detect the spatial coverage change of the underflow.
[0028] Further, in order to improve the accuracy of monitoring, the sensor 1 is arranged in the dense area of the underflow flowing out, that is, the area closest to the underflow port 51. Wherein, the extension line of the center line of the sensor 1 and the underflow port 51 intersects with the center line of the underflow port 51, and the included angle formed is 10°-15°. The setting of the angle neither makes the sensor 1 too close to the underflow port 51 to be directly impacted, nor makes it away from the underflow port 51 to lose the effective monitoring range. At the same time, under different working conditions, the flow rate, flow and composition of the underflow may be different, and the angle design can adapt to these changes to a certain extent, and ensure that the sensor can maintain stable monitoring performance under different working conditions.
[0029] During the operation of the cyclone 5, after centrifugal separation, according to the properties of the material, the design of the cyclone and the different operating conditions, the underflow flowing out of the underflow port 51 is in the form of umbrella flow or columnar flow, the umbrella flow usually shows that the underflow forms a diffusion area similar to an umbrella when flowing out, and the columnar flow shows that the underflow flows out in the form of a relatively concentrated column, both of which have a certain cross-sectional area. Specifically, when the underflow flows out in the form of umbrella flow, the occupied area monitored by the sensor may be relatively large, and when the underflow flows out in the form of columnar flow, the occupied area monitored by the sensor may be relatively small and relatively stable. By limiting the spatial range monitored by the sensor 1, the different states of the underflow and the difference of the occupied area of the underflow per period can be obtained, so as to determine the change of the underflow state.
[0030] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the sensor 1 is arranged in a pair of emitter and receiver, which are installed in two separate sensors 1 respectively, and horizontally face the two sides of the underflow outlet 51 respectively, and the connection line between the emitter and the receiver intersects with the direction of underflow discharge. The monitoring principle of the pair of emitter and receiver is that the emitter emits a beam of light, which propagates linearly along a certain path to the receiver, and the receiver converts the light into an electrical signal or other form of output signal after receiving the light.
[0031] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the sensor 1 is arranged in a pair of emitter and receiver, which are installed in two separate sensors 1 respectively, and horizontally face the two sides of the underflow outlet 51 respectively, and the connection line between the emitter and the receiver intersects with the direction of underflow discharge. The monitoring principle of the pair of emitter and receiver is that the emitter emits a beam of light, which propagates linearly along a certain path to the receiver, and the receiver converts the light into an electrical signal or other form of output signal after receiving the light.
[0032] When the underflow is in a normal state, the underflow blocks the light, resulting in that the receiver cannot receive the light signal. When the underflow is blocked, the underflow flow is hindered, which can cause changes in the cross-sectional area of the underflow or slow down the flow speed, and these factors can change the reflection characteristics of the light signal in the underflow area, such as weakening of the signal intensity, change of the frequency, etc. The receiver receives the light and converts it into an output signal, which triggers a response mechanism. The response mechanism is that when the underflow is blocked, the system automatically sends a warning signal, so that the operator can handle the abnormal operation of the cyclone in time and prevent production accidents.
[0033] At the same time, since the underflow forms include umbrella flow and columnar flow, the spatial coverage of the umbrella flow is different due to the design or operating conditions of the cyclone when the underflow is discharged. The sensor 1 can determine the change of the underflow state by the difference in the occupied area.
[0034] Further, a slide rail 2 is installed on the inner wall of the sand pool, and the sensor 1 is slidably installed on the slide rail 2. The slide rail 2 can adjust the position of the sensor 1 in the horizontal direction to adapt to the change of the underflow in different operating states, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of the underflow state monitoring. In some preferred embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the sensor 1 is provided with a base, a connecting shaft and a mounting table, the connecting shaft is fixedly installed between the base and the mounting table, the mounting table is provided with the sensor 1, and the sensor 1 is slidably installed on the slide rail 2 through the connecting shaft.
[0035] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protection cover 3 is fixedly installed on the sensor 1, the sensor 1 is located on the axis of the protection cover 3, the protection cover 3 is a sleeve structure with hollow inside and inverted U-shaped cross section along the radial direction, so that the sensor 1 is not exposed to the underflow. In the process of underflow discharge, there is a risk that pollutants or underflow splashes on the sensor 1, which will adversely affect the monitoring function of the sensor 1, and the splashed pollutants or underflow attached to the sensor 1 will cause the light signal to be unable to normally emit or receive, and also cause mechanical damage, thereby affecting its stability and service life.
[0036] Further, the deflector plate 4 is fixedly installed on the sensor 1, the deflector plate 4 is a folded plate structure arranged obliquely downward, preferably, the oblique angle is 5° for best effect, at the same time, the cross section of the deflector plate 4 in the vertical direction is parabolic and its apex is located on the center line of the sensor 1, the deflector plate has a flow guiding function and can guide the liquid to be discharged. The protection cover 3 and the deflector plate 4 are cooperatively arranged around the sensor 1 to form a relatively narrow avoidance space, which can effectively prevent pollutants or underflow from splashing on the sensor 1 and provide a safer and more stable working environment for it.
[0037] The above detailed the specific embodiments of the present application, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, can make some improvements and modifications to the present application, these improvements and modifications also belong to the protection scope of the present application claims.
