[0030] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this application clearer, the preferred embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 An acid release metering system includes an acid storage tank 1 and an acid truck (not shown in the figure), and the acid release metering system further includes:

[0034] Acid discharge pipe 2 is located between acid storage tank 1 and the acid truck;

[0035] Flow meter 3 is installed on acid discharge pipe 2;

[0036] Electric switching valve 4 is installed on acid discharge pipe 2 and located downstream of flow meter 3;

[0037] Electric regulating valve 5 is installed on acid discharge pipe 2 and located downstream of electric switching valve 4;

[0038] Among them, the flow meter 3, the electric switching valve 4, and the electric regulating valve 5 are all electrically connected to a controller.

[0039] Specifically, the acid storage tank 1 is made of carbon steel. At room temperature, concentrated sulfuric acid will form a dense passivation film on the surface of the carbon steel, preventing the sulfuric acid from reacting further with the carbon steel, thus providing protection. One end of the acid discharge pipe 2 is connected to the output end of the acid storage tank 1, and the other end is connected to the acid cart, so that the acid storage tank 1 and the acid cart are connected, thereby facilitating the transfer of the concentrated sulfuric acid stored in the acid storage tank 1 to the acid cart.

[0040] Flow meter 3 is a cumulative flow meter, capable of real-time monitoring and accumulation of the total acid volume flowing through acid discharge pipe 2. Because it is installed upstream of electric switching valve 4 and electric regulating valve 5, it can accurately measure and accumulate the acid flow rate as soon as the acid begins to flow. Thus, regardless of the operating state of electric switching valve 4 and electric regulating valve 5, the total acid volume flowing out of acid storage tank 1 can be accurately recorded, providing a reliable basis for subsequent acid discharge control and metering settlement. During the opening and closing of electric switching valve 4 and electric regulating valve 5, changes in the acid flow state can occur, such as the generation of eddies and pressure fluctuations. Installing the cumulative flow meter upstream of these valves prevents the influence of valve action on the acid flow state from being transmitted to flow meter 3, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of flow meter 3's measurement. The controller can precisely control electric switching valve 4 and electric regulating valve 5 based on the real-time feedback of acid flow rate and cumulative total amount information from the cumulative flow meter.

[0041] Electric switching valve 4 is installed on acid discharge pipe 2 and downstream of flow meter 3, and electric regulating valve 5 is installed on acid discharge pipe 2 and downstream of electric switching valve 4. The controller has preset pre-loaded acid quantity parameters. Initially, the controller fully opens electric switching valve 4 and electric regulating valve 5 to accelerate acid discharge and save time. The controller receives real-time feedback from flow meter 3. For example, when the discharged acid quantity reaches 80% of the pre-loaded acid quantity, the controller can partially open electric regulating valve 5 to reduce the acid discharge rate, absorb inertial flow, and reduce errors. When the discharged acid quantity reaches 100% of the pre-loaded acid quantity, the controller can fully close electric regulating valve 5, and then close electric switching valve 4, ending the acid discharge.

[0042] This application replaces the manual acid discharging metering method with an automatic acid discharging metering system consisting of an acid storage tank 1, an acid discharging pipe 2, a flow meter 3, an electric switch valve 4, an electric regulating valve 5, and a controller. The control mode of "coarse adjustment + fine adjustment" is formed by the electric switch valve 4 and the electric regulating valve 5. The electric switch valve 4 is responsible for the rapid on / off of the acid liquid to realize the start and stop control of acid discharging, while the electric regulating valve 5 is responsible for fine adjustment of the flow rate during acid discharging to ensure accurate control of the amount of acid discharged. The collaborative working mode improves the control accuracy and stability of the acid discharging metering system, thereby reducing acid discharging errors and avoiding acid truck overloading or empty loss.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] See Figure 1 Optionally, based on Embodiment 1, a thermal resistor 6 is installed upstream of the flow meter 3.

[0045] Specifically, the thermal resistor 6 can measure the temperature of the sulfuric acid flowing inside the pipe in real time. The corresponding density can be obtained from the acid temperature fed back by the thermal resistor 6, and then multiplied by the flow rate fed back by the flow meter 3 to calculate the current amount of acid loaded, thus improving the accuracy of measurement.

[0046] Optionally, the acid discharge pipe 2 is connected to the output end of the acid storage tank 1 via the first flange 7.

[0047] Specifically, the first flange 7 is made of fluorocarbon-lined steel, which prevents sulfuric acid from directly contacting the metal substrate and extends its service life. The flange connection facilitates installation and disassembly, and the intermediate gasket ensures a reliable seal, preventing leakage.

[0048] Optionally, the two ends of the flow meter 3 are mounted on the acid discharge pipe 2 via the second flange 8.

[0049] Specifically, the second flange 8 is made of fluorocarbon-lined steel, which prevents sulfuric acid from directly contacting the metal substrate and extends its service life. The flange connection facilitates installation and disassembly, and a reliable seal is achieved through an intermediate gasket to prevent leakage.

[0050] Optionally, the two ends of the electric switching valve 4 are mounted on the acid discharge pipe 2 via a third flange 9.

[0051] Specifically, the third flange 9 is made of fluorocarbon-lined steel, which prevents sulfuric acid from directly contacting the metal substrate and extends its service life. The flange connection facilitates installation and disassembly, and a reliable seal is achieved through an intermediate gasket to prevent leakage.

[0052] Optionally, the two ends of the electric regulating valve 5 are mounted on the acid discharge pipe 2 via the fourth flange 10.

[0053] Specifically, the fourth flange 10 is made of fluorocarbon-lined steel, which prevents sulfuric acid from directly contacting the metal substrate and extends its service life. The flange connection facilitates installation and disassembly, and a reliable seal is achieved through an intermediate gasket to prevent leakage.

[0054] Optionally, the acid discharge pipe 2 is made of carbon steel, and the connection between the acid discharge pipe 2 and the acid truck is made of fluoroplastic hose.

[0055] Specifically, carbon steel itself has high mechanical strength (high tensile strength), which can withstand the pressure and weight of acid, making it suitable for long-distance fixed-layout acid discharge pipes 2. At the same time, carbon steel pipes, due to their self-passivating properties, have strong acid corrosion resistance, making them suitable for transporting concentrated sulfuric acid and greatly extending their service life. Fluoroplastics are resistant to almost all strong acids (including concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid) and solvents, and their non-porous inner lining prevents acid penetration. The flexible hose can be directly matched with the interfaces of the acid discharge pipe 2 and the acid truck to form a sealed system, eliminating leakage.

[0056] It should be noted that the structures and / or installation methods not detailed in this application are those that can be known by those skilled in the art in combination with common knowledge and / or prior art, and are not the focus of this application, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this application; the dimensions of the drawings are not related to the specific physical object, and the physical object dimensions can be arbitrarily changed.
