Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to filter press feeding technology field, concretely relates to a kind of pre-stirring automatic control device of stable feeding of filter press. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a kind of equipment widely used in solid-liquid separation, filter press usually needs to experience the steps such as feeding, backwashing, back blowing, air drying and unloading in the filtration production process.The feeding mode of traditional filter press is usually to directly connect the thickener underflow into the slurry pump of filter press for feeding.However, this direct feeding mode has many disadvantages:

[0003] (1) the concentration of thickener underflow fluctuates greatly: when temporarily stopping or the material in thickener is accumulated, the concentration of underflow will increase rapidly.This leads to the slurry pump load being too large at the beginning of feeding, and the motor is high temperature or even burned.After feeding is completed, the high-concentration material will fill the pump cavity again, making it difficult for the slurry pump to start next time, and even damaging the slurry pump in serious cases.

[0004] (2) high risk of feeding pipe blockage: high-concentration feeding can easily cause blockage of the filter press feeding pipe, making it difficult for subsequent backwashing and back blowing operations.If the feeding pipe is not cleaned during backwashing and back blowing, the feeding pipe will be completely blocked during the next feeding, causing equipment failure and shutdown.

[0005] (3) uneven distribution of material: in the middle and later stages of feeding, the concentration of material will decrease significantly (5%~10%), leading to inconsistent concentration of material in the front and rear sections of the filter chamber of filter press.This uneven distribution of material not only affects the extrusion dewatering effect during the feeding stage, leading to increased moisture content of filter cake, but also causes air pressure short circuit between different filter plates in the filter chamber during the subsequent air drying stage.Compressed air directly flows from the filter cake that is not compacted in the low-concentration feeding area, further reducing the air drying effect and leading to increased moisture content of filter cake.

[0006] (4) poor production continuity: the fault handling caused by the above problems will lead to production interruption, which cannot realize continuous production, and seriously affects production efficiency and economic benefits.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the utility model increases a pre-stirring device for stable feeding before the slurry pump of filter press feeds.Through automatic control of the material level and concentration before the slurry pump feeds, the problems of feeding pipe blockage, high equipment failure rate, discontinuous production and increased moisture content of filter cake caused by unstable feeding concentration are effectively solved, thereby improving the operation efficiency and production stability of filter press.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the technical problems and technical solutions solved by the utility model more clear and explicit, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0017] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be understood that the orientation or position relation indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or position relation shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model, and does not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0018] In the description of the utility model, it also needs to be explained that, unless explicitly specified and limited, the terms "arrangement", "installation", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixed connection, can also be detachable connection, or integral connection, can be mechanical connection, can also be electrical connection, can be directly connected, can also be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be the communication inside two elements, and the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances for the ordinary skilled in the art.

[0019] As shown in Figure 1 A kind of pre-stirring automatic control device of pressure filter stable feeding, including stirring tank 2, stirring tank 2 is arranged between thickening pool underflow pipe 1 and pressure filter slurry pump 3, thickening pool underflow pipe 1 is connected at the top feed inlet of stirring tank 2, and pressure filter slurry pump 3 is connected at the discharge port below stirring tank 2.

[0020] Concentration meter 11, flowmeter one 12 and solenoid valve 13 are installed on thickening pool underflow pipe 1;Supplementing pipe 4 is connected to the side below stirring tank 2, flowmeter two 41 and electric regulating valve 42 are installed on supplementing pipe 4, stirring mechanism 5 is installed on the top of stirring tank 2, liquid level detection device 6 is installed on the side away from stirring mechanism 5, and concentration meter 11, flowmeter one 12, solenoid valve 13, flowmeter two 41, electric regulating valve 42 and liquid level detection device 6 are electrically connected with PLC controller 8.

[0021] As a preferred scheme of the embodiment, the liquid level detection device 6 includes a bracket 61 mounted on the side wall of the top of the stirring tank 2, two limit rings 62 are provided on the bracket 61, a connecting rod 63 is slidably arranged in the limit rings 62, a float ball 64 is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 63, a sensor 65 is mounted on the upper segment of the connecting rod 61, an upper limit sensor 66 and a lower limit sensor 67 are also mounted on the bracket 61, and the sensor 65, the upper limit sensor 66 and the lower limit sensor 67 are electrically connected with the PLC controller 8.

[0022] Further, the connecting rod 63 and the outer periphery of the floating ball 64 are further sleeved with a flow stabilizing pipe 68, the top of the flow stabilizing pipe 68 is connected to the inner side of the top platform of the stirring tank 2. The flow stabilizing pipe 68 can effectively isolate the fluctuations generated by stirring, feeding or discharging operations, and provide a relatively stable environment for the floating ball 64 and the connecting rod 63, so that they move smoothly in the vertical direction only, avoid false triggering signals caused by shaking of the floating ball when the liquid level fluctuates, and improve the accuracy of liquid level detection.

[0023] As a further preferred scheme of the embodiment, the stirring tank 2 is provided with a plurality of baffles 7 with different heights at the bottom. The design of the baffles 7 can increase the collision and mixing between the materials, re-suspend the precipitated materials, prevent accumulation at the bottom, reduce the stirring dead angle, and ensure uniform mixing of the materials, thereby providing stable and uniform material supply for subsequent pressure filtration.

[0024] Working principle: The concentrated pool bottom flow pipe 1 transports the materials in the concentrated pool to the stirring tank 2. In this process, the concentration meter 11 and the flow meter 12 detect the concentration and flow rate of the materials in real time, and the electromagnetic valve 13 controls the on-off of the materials according to the instructions of the PLC controller 8.

[0025] After the materials enter the stirring tank 2, the stirring mechanism 5 is started at random to stir the materials to ensure uniform mixing of the materials. At the same time, the PLC controller 8 adjusts the opening degree of the electric regulating valve 42 on the water supplement pipe 4 according to the concentration and flow rate information of the materials fed back by the concentration meter 11 and the flow meter 12, and further adjusts the water supplement amount fed back by the flow meter 41. Under the synergistic action of stirring and water supplement, the concentration of the materials is adjusted in real time to the set value suitable for pressure filtration, and then the slurry pump 3 of the pressure filter is started to stably transport the adjusted materials to the pressure filter for subsequent pressure filtration.

[0026] During the process of transferring the materials into the pressure filter, the liquid level detection device 6 monitors the liquid level height in the stirring tank 2 in real time. The floating ball 64 floats up and down with the liquid level, driving the connecting rod 63 and the inductor 65 installed on the upper part thereof to slide up and down in the limiting ring 62. The inductor 65, the upper limit inductor 66 and the lower limit inductor 67 detect the real-time height of the liquid level respectively, and transmit signals to the PLC controller 8. When the liquid level decreases to the lower limit, the PLC controller 8 controls the electromagnetic valve 13 to open the feeding and the electric regulating valve 42 to open the water supplement; when the liquid level reaches the upper limit, the PLC controller 8 controls the electromagnetic valve 13 to close the feeding, or adjusts the electric regulating valve 42 to reduce the water supplement, so as to ensure that the liquid level in the stirring tank 2 is kept within a reasonable range.

[0027] The whole process is automatically executed through preset program, and stable feeding of materials, concentration adjustment, liquid level control and uniform stirring are accurately completed, so that stable material supply is provided for efficient operation of the filter press, and the filter pressing efficiency and product quality are improved.

[0028] The utility model is described in detail above through specific and preferred embodiments, but the person skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any modification, equivalent replacement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
