Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to sampling device technical field, concretely relates to a sampling device for sampling of powder bin. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a common building construction material, ready-mixed concrete is mainly composed of cement, fly ash, sand and stone, water and admixture. The quality of ready-mixed concrete directly affects the construction quality and safety reliability of building structure, so it is necessary to control the quality of raw materials from the source. The ready-mixed concrete production enterprises usually take samples by batch when the raw materials enter the site and entrust a third-party testing agency to test. Taking cement and fly ash as an example, the usual sampling method is that the laboratory technician takes samples manually with a sampler at the top of the powder transport tank truck. The existing sampling method has the problems of large workload, high risk of falling from a high place for the sampler, and poor representativeness of the sample and unreliable test results when the materials in the transport truck are not uniform. SUMMARY
[0003] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a sampling device for sampling of powder bin.
[0004] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model is:
[0005] A sampling device for sampling of powder bin, comprising a sampling pipe, a sampling valve, a hopper, a discharging pipe and a discharging valve; one end of the sampling pipe is in communication with the feeding pipe of the powder bin, and the other end is in communication with the hopper; the hopper is arranged on one side of the feeding pipe of the powder bin and is used for storing the powder collected by the sampling pipe; the top of the hopper is closed and provided with a breathable cap, and the bottom outlet of the hopper is connected with the discharging pipe; the sampling valve is arranged on the sampling pipe and is used for controlling the communication or isolation between the hopper and the feeding pipe of the powder bin; and the discharging valve is arranged on the discharging pipe and is used for controlling the discharge of the hopper.
[0006] Further, a vibrator is arranged on the hopper. The vibrator is used for preventing the outlet of the hopper from being blocked when discharging.
[0007] Further, the hopper is conical, and the vibrator is arranged at the middle and lower part of the conical hopper. The conical hopper is beneficial to smooth discharging and prevents the sampling powder from remaining in the hopper and affecting the detection results of the next time. The arrangement of the vibrator at the middle and lower part of the conical hopper is more beneficial to smooth discharging and prevents the powder from blocking the outlet.
[0008] Further, the volume of the hopper is 10-15 liters. The volume meets the requirement of the amount of sample for testing, and too large volume will cause waste of materials and increase of the manufacturing cost of the sampling device.
[0009] Further, the vibrator is a pneumatic vibrator. The pneumatic vibrator is suitable for a dusty environment and has a low failure rate.
[0010] Further, the sampling pipe is V-shaped, and one end of the V-shaped sampling pipe is connected to the upwardly inclined powder bin feeding pipe.
[0011] Further, the sampling valve is a pneumatic butterfly valve, which is arranged at the end of the sampling pipe close to the powder bin feeding pipe.
[0012] Further, the discharging valve is a pneumatic butterfly valve.
[0013] The present application has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. The sampling device can automatically sample instead of manual sampling, and can sample at different time points, greatly improving the sampling representativeness of the powder and avoiding the risk of falling from a high place for the sampler.
[0015] 2. The device has a simple structure, and can automatically sample by using the feeding pressure of the bin, without the need for an additional power source, and is easy to operate and safe and reliable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
