[0017] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 A cement production homogenization warehouse chute fan switching device, the main body is composed of a switching bottom plate 1, a fan 2 and a switching mechanism.
[0018] The switching bottom plate 1 is provided with two groups of slide rails. The fan 2 is provided with two, one is a commonly used fan, and the other is a standby fan, the fan 2 is specifically a centrifugal fan, a Roots blower, an axial flow fan and the like, and the start and stop of the fan 2 are controlled through a solenoid valve. The fan 2 is also provided with a current sensor, a vibration sensor and a temperature sensor; the current sensor is connected in series in any one phase of the three-phase power supply line of the fan 2 motor; the vibration sensor is installed on the fan bearing seat or the motor bearing seat; the temperature sensor is installed at the heat dissipation port of the fan shell. And the bottom of the two fans 2 is provided with a support 4, the support 4 is in sliding cooperation with the slide rail; and a clamping groove is formed in the support 4.
[0019] The switching mechanism is specifically composed of a mounting base 5, a cylinder 6 and a motor 7. The mounting base 5 is fixed on the switching base plate 1 by means of bolts or welding. The cylinder 6 is rotatably installed on the mounting base 5 by bearings, and the pipeline for supplying compressed air to the cylinder 6 needs to adopt a flexible hose. A cross plate 8 is connected to the output shaft of the cylinder 6, and the length and size of the cross plate 8 are adapted to the clamping groove formed on the support 4. The cross plate 8 can be clamped into the clamping groove by rotating the cylinder 6. The motor 7 is specifically a stepping motor and is installed on the switching base plate 1 by a motor base. The output shaft of the motor 7 is connected to the cylinder 6 to drive the cylinder 6 to rotate. Bearings are selected according to specific requirements, and the connection between the components should be stable to ensure the normal operation of the cylinder 6 and the motor 7.
[0020] The fan 2 is detachably connected with the air pipe 3 at the air outlet by means of flanges or bolts. The air pipe 3 is composed of a first pipeline and a second pipeline which are connected with each other. The first pipeline is a flexible pipe (for example, a corrugated metal hose) connected with the air outlet of the fan 2. The second pipeline is a rigid pipe (for example, a steel pipe) which is also detachably connected with the double inlet of the air distributor 9 by means of flanges or bolts. A one-way valve, specifically an electromagnetic one-way valve, is arranged on the second pipeline. The outlet of the air distributor 9 is connected with a pipeline which communicates with the air chamber at the bottom of the chute. An L-shaped bracket 10 is arranged on the switching base plate 1. One end of the bracket 10 is detachably connected with the two second pipelines by means of clamps, buckles or the like.
[0021] As shown in Fig. 3 The current sensor, the vibration sensor, the temperature sensor, the electromagnetic one-way valve, the electromagnetic valve, the cylinder 6 and the motor 7 are all connected with the PLC controller. The current sensor, the vibration sensor and the temperature sensor detect various values when the fan 2 is running, and threshold values are set on the PLC controller. When the detected data is greater than or less than the set threshold value, the one-way valve, the electromagnetic valve, the cylinder 6 and the motor 7 are started or stopped by the PLC controller.
[0022] The working process and principle of the utility model are as follows: in the initial state of the device, the electromagnetic valve on the commonly used fan is opened, and the commonly used fan provides air power. The one-way valve on the air pipe 3 connected with the air outlet of the commonly used fan is in an open state. The one-way valve on the standby fan is closed, and the standby fan does not run. The one-way valve on the air pipe 3 connected with the air outlet of the commonly used fan is in a closed state.
[0023] When the current sensor, vibration sensor, temperature sensor detects the current fluctuation, vibration, temperature and other values of the common fan operating state are different from the set threshold on the PLC controller, the PLC controller controls the electromagnetic valve on the standby fan to open, controls the one-way valve on the air pipe 3 connected to the common fan outlet to open, and controls the motor 7 to start, drives the cylinder 6 to rotate 90°, and then drives the cross plate 8 to rotate 90° (initial state, the cross plate 8 is vertically placed), clamps into the clamping groove provided on the common fan support 4, and then controls the cylinder 6 output shaft to retract, and then the common fan moves to the other side of the switching base plate 1. When the standby fan runs for 2-3 seconds, the PLC controller controls the electromagnetic valve of the common fan to close, at this time the common fan does not run, only through the standby fan to provide wind power. At this time the common fan moves out, so that the staff can carry out maintenance or replacement.
[0024] After the common fan is repaired or replaced, the PLC controller controls the cylinder 6 output shaft to retract, and then drives the common fan to move to the original position, and controls the motor 7 to reverse, and then drives the cross plate 8 to reset, and then controls the electromagnetic valve of the common fan to open through the PLC controller. After the common fan runs for 2-3 seconds, the PLC controller closes the electromagnetic valve of the standby fan.
[0025] If the standby fan fails, the standby fan can also be moved out for maintenance or replacement by the above-mentioned method.
[0026] The device can also use two fans alternately, when one fan 2 fails, start another fan 2 to provide wind power, and move out the failed fan for maintenance and replacement. Reciprocate in turn to ensure the continuity of cement production.
