TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of asphalt mixing station asphalt tank anti-overflow material warning device, belong to asphalt processing warning device field. BACKGROUND
[0002] Asphalt mixing station asphalt tank is a kind of asphalt storage heating device, asphalt tank bottom is equipped with asphalt import and export, for the asphalt loading and unloading and use.
[0003] When asphalt mixing station is normal production, the asphalt temperature in asphalt tank needs to be maintained between 150℃-190℃, to ensure that asphalt is in liquid state, for the measurement and use of asphalt. The asphalt in asphalt tank comes from two parts, one part is filled into tank by unloading pump, and the other part is returned to tank by asphalt metering pump during production, which can also be returned to other tank by adjusting valve.
[0004] Because the project construction duration is long during dry period, even at night. Workers are tired after long time work, seriously affected by night lighting, temperature and other bad environment and physical condition, it is easy to cause work negligence, which will inevitably lead to asphalt overflow accident. When asphalt is in high temperature state, if tank full overflow accident occurs, it may cause equipment contamination, property loss, even personnel casualty. Therefore, when producing or loading and unloading asphalt, asphalt liquid level state should be paid attention to, to ensure production safety.
[0005] At present, the industry generally focuses on asphalt tank liquid level monitoring technology, but new asphalt tank liquid level monitoring technology is not mature enough, which can monitor liquid level to some extent, but the accuracy is not enough, so it is still necessary to prevent tank full overflow risk. For example, ultrasonic ranging technology, radar ranging technology and pressure transmitter monitoring technology, ultrasonic propagation speed is easily affected by asphalt high temperature steam, radar ranging sensor and pressure sensor are easily affected by asphalt high temperature aging, with poor stability and high maintenance cost, which cannot meet the actual production demand and has not been effectively popularized and used.
[0006] Now commonly used liquid level monitoring technology is still artificial method to judge liquid level by monitoring float, which needs experienced workers to observe float state and climb asphalt tank frequently, to ensure that asphalt does not overflow during filling and use, which is most affected by human factors. Moreover, for the equipment used for more than three years, asphalt liquid level detection device may have failed, and there is no corresponding technical measure to popularize for asphalt tank full overflow safety hazard except strengthening artificial patrol. This device can automatically stop unloading pump when asphalt tank is full, and send warning to remind workers, check pipeline valve and asphalt metering pump working state in time, which can effectively make up the safety defect of asphalt overflow, reduce safety risk, improve production safety guarantee, save resources, protect environment and improve production efficiency.
