[0038] The following will be described in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 The embodiments of the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and therefore only serve as examples, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0039] Embodiment 1
[0040] As Figures 1-4 A spill-proof material bin weighing device for activated carbon production is illustrated in the present application. In order to achieve accurate measurement and spill-proof material recovery, the spill-proof material bin weighing device for activated carbon production is provided with a combination structure of a sandwiched flared hopper 102 and a double-outlet pipe sleeve 103, which realizes accurate recovery and measurement of overflowed materials after caking and blocking.
[0041] Specifically, the raw materials for preparing activated carbon first fall into the sandwiched flared hopper 102, and are conveyed along the inner layer outlet pipe 301, and are weighed quantitatively under the cooperation of the material blocking plate 303 and the high-precision weighing sensor 104. After reaching the preset weight, the control unit 501 controls the opening and closing of the material blocking plate 303, so that the raw materials are conveyed to the next stirring process.
[0042] When there are clumps or large particles in the activated carbon raw materials on the conveying belt 101, the clumped raw materials will cause blockage after falling into the inner layer discharge pipe 301, at this time the high-precision weighing sensor cannot always collect the preset weight data, and the control unit controls the material blocking plate to be always closed, so that the raw materials cannot flow out along the inner layer discharge pipe 301. With the increase of the weight of the material in the interlayer, the material will be accumulated in the flared hopper 102 in the interlayer, and finally the material will open the fan-shaped gate 201 arranged at the top of the interlayer by its own weight, and overflow from the gap between adjacent fan-shaped gates to the outer layer discharge pipe 302 of the double-layer discharge pipe 103. In this process, the high-precision weighing sensor 104 monitors the weight change of the material in the double-layer discharge pipe 103 in real time, and when the set upper limit value is reached, the system can timely issue an alarm and take corresponding measures, such as adjusting the conveying speed of the conveying belt 101 or suspending the conveying, so as to prevent the overflow from further accumulation and ensure the accuracy of weighing. This structure effectively solves the problem of inaccurate measurement caused by blockage in the prior art, improves the accuracy of activated carbon production ratio, and thus ensures the product quality.
[0043] In order to realize accurate control of the material conveying amount, the device is provided with a material blocking plate 303 inside the inner layer discharge pipe 301, which is connected with the control unit 501. Specifically, the high-precision weighing sensor 104 is installed on the conveying pipeline communicating with the internal material cavity and located above the material blocking plate 303. When the material passes through the inner layer discharge pipe 301, the high-precision weighing sensor 104 monitors the weight change of the material in real time and transmits the weight signal to the control unit 501. The control unit 501 judges whether the material blocking plate 303 needs to be opened or closed according to the received weight signal and in combination with the preset material conveying amount parameter. When the weight of the material reaches the set value, the control unit 501 issues an instruction to control the material blocking plate 303 to be closed to stop the material from flowing; when the weight of the material is lower than the set value, the control unit 501 issues an instruction again to control the material blocking plate 303 to be opened to allow the material to continue to flow. This design realizes accurate control of the material conveying amount and improves the automation level and production efficiency of activated carbon production.
[0044] The control unit 501 can be specifically provided as follows: the bottom of the material blocking plate 303 is welded with a rack mechanism 3031, a micro drive motor 3032 is arranged on the outer wall of the outer layer discharge pipe 302, and the output shaft end of the micro drive motor 3032 is connected with a gear mechanism 3033 engaged with the rack mechanism 3031. When the high-precision weighing sensor 104 detects a weight meeting the preset value, an electric signal is sent to the control unit 501, the control unit 501 drives the micro drive motor 3032, the rotation of the output shaft drives the rotation of the gear mechanism 3033, and then drives the linear motion of the rack mechanism 3031, and then drives the opening of the material blocking plate 303 to complete the unloading.
[0045] In order to prevent the raw materials from scattering to the outer area of the inner layer material cavity of the sandwiched flared hopper 102 at the conveying end due to inertia, the device is provided with a flow guide baffle 106 above the discharge end of the conveying belt 101. Specifically, the flow guide baffle 106 includes two sets of inclined flow guide surfaces 1061 arranged symmetrically, and the flow guide surfaces 1061 form an angle of 25°-40° with the running direction of the conveying belt 101. When the raw materials are conveyed on the conveying belt 101, the flow guide surfaces 1061 of the flow guide baffle 106 gather the raw materials laid on the conveying belt 101 based on the symmetric center line in the width direction of the conveying belt, so that the raw material accumulation width is reduced to 70%±5% of the effective width of the belt. This design effectively prevents the problem of raw materials scattering to the outer area of the sandwiched flared hopper 102 at the conveying end due to inertia, improves the conveying efficiency of the raw materials, and also reduces the waste and cleaning cost caused by the scattering of the raw materials.

[0048] Embodiment 3
[0049] As Figures 1-4The application discloses an anti-overflow material bin weighing device for activated carbon production, in order to reduce mechanical wear and prolong service life, the sector gate 201 in the device is controlled to open and close by the symmetrical four-bar linkage mechanism 202, which plays an important role in reducing mechanical wear and prolonging service life. Specifically, the symmetrical four-bar linkage mechanism 202 is embedded in the hollow groove 203 inside the sector gate 201, and is connected with the sector gate 201 through the spring 204. In the initial stage, the spring 204 exerts a pulling force on the symmetrical four-bar linkage mechanism 202, so that the sector gate 201 remains closed. When the weight of the material in the interlayer increases, the material overcomes the pulling force of the spring 204 by its own weight, and opens the sector gate 201, so as to realize the discharge of overflow. In the discharge process, the linkage action of the symmetrical four-bar linkage mechanism 202 ensures the smooth opening and closing of the sector gate 201, and reduces the mechanical wear caused by single-point stress. At the same time, the elastic restoring force and vibration buffering effect of the spring 204 further prolong the service life of the sector gate 201, and are especially suitable for the high-frequency opening and closing scene under the continuous production condition of activated carbon.
