Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of elemental content analysis technology in combustible substances, and more specifically, to a sample combustion testing system. Background Technology
[0002] Combustible materials such as coal, ore, biomass, and pharmaceuticals require analysis of their constituent elements, calorific value, and ash content. For example, with coal, before combustion in the power plant, it's necessary to quickly detect its calorific value, ash content, carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and other components to ensure optimal coal blending before combustion. This guarantees the maximum combustion efficiency of different coal blends, controlling costs, increasing power generation output, and ensuring that exhaust emissions, combustion ash, and coking meet regulatory requirements.
[0003] In the coal analysis industry, the use of automated testing equipment to test the ash and volatile matter content in coal requires high-temperature equipment to burn the ash at (815±10)℃ and to burn the volatile matter at (900±10)℃.
[0004] At the start of the experiment, the crucible is first clamped onto the crucible rack, and then the crucible rack is transferred into the combustion furnace. After high-temperature burning, the crucible rack needs to be removed from the combustion furnace. In the existing technology, the opening and closing of the combustion furnace, sample ignition, and crucible transfer are all done manually. Manual operation is labor-intensive and prone to errors, and the high-temperature environment inside the combustion furnace can easily pose a safety hazard to workers.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sample combustion testing device that can reduce the intensity of manual operation and avoid the impact of the high-temperature environment inside the combustion furnace on human safety. Utility Model Content

[0083] The embodiments of this utility model are written in a progressive manner.
[0084] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a sample combustion testing device, including: a combustion chamber 1, the combustion chamber 1 including a furnace body 11 and a furnace cover 12, a cavity being formed between the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12, a positioning point being provided in the cavity, the positioning point being used to place a crucible 2 and a sample to be tested, an igniter 3 being provided on the combustion chamber 1, the igniter 3 being used to heat and ignite the sample to be tested located at the positioning point; a gas supply mechanism 4 communicating with the cavity and used to input oxygen into the cavity; a combustion detection device for detecting the combustion characteristics of the sample to be tested; an opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing the furnace cover 12, so that the combustion chamber 1 has an open state and a sealed state; and a sample transfer mechanism 7 for transferring the sample to be tested when the combustion chamber 1 is in the open state.
[0085] Current automated calorific value testing equipment requires pre-filling the sample and crucible with an oxygen bomb, separately opening and closing the oxygen bomb lid, aligning the oxygen bomb with the ignition device or ignition motor, and then placing it into the testing furnace for closed-lid analysis. This current automated calorific value testing equipment not only requires an independent oxygen bomb lid opening and closing mechanism but also necessitates the transfer of oxygen bombs back and forth, resulting in a complex structure and low transfer efficiency.
[0086] In addition, in the existing technology, the opening and closing of the combustion furnace, the ignition of the sample, and the transfer of the crucible 2 are all done manually. Manual operation is labor-intensive and prone to operational errors. Furthermore, the high-temperature environment inside the combustion furnace can easily endanger the safety of the operators.
[0087] The sample combustion testing equipment provided by this utility model is firstly equipped with a combustion chamber 1, a gas supply mechanism, a combustion detection device, and an opening and closing mechanism. The combustion chamber 1 includes a furnace body 11 and a furnace cover 12, forming a cavity between the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12. A positioning point is set in the cavity for placing a crucible 2 and the sample to be tested. An igniter 3 is set on the combustion chamber 1 to heat and ignite the sample to be tested at the positioning point without manual ignition. The gas supply mechanism is connected to the cavity and supplies oxygen to the cavity to provide an oxygen-rich environment for the sample to be tested to burn completely. The combustion detection device is used to detect the combustion characteristics of the sample to be tested. The opening and closing mechanism is used to open and close the furnace cover 12, allowing the combustion chamber 1 to be in an open or sealed state without manual opening and closing of the furnace cover 12.
[0088] Secondly, a sample transfer mechanism 7 is also provided. This mechanism is used to transfer the test sample when the combustion chamber 1 is open. The sample transfer mechanism 7 transfers the pre-set weight of the test sample and the crucible 2 to the positioning point. The furnace lid 12 is then closed via the opening and closing mechanism, sealing the combustion chamber 1. Oxygen is supplied to the chamber via the gas supply mechanism, and the test sample is heated and burned by the igniter 3, ensuring complete combustion in an oxygen-rich environment. During or after combustion, the combustion characteristics of the test sample are detected by a combustion detection device. After detection, the furnace lid 12 is opened via the opening and closing mechanism, and the crucible 2 is transferred by the sample transfer mechanism 7 for subsequent testing. Throughout the entire sample combustion test, minimal manual intervention is required, reducing the intensity of manual operation and avoiding any impact on operator safety from the high-temperature environment inside the combustion furnace.
[0089] Therefore, compared with the prior art, the sample combustion test equipment in this utility model embodiment can reduce the intensity of manual operation and avoid the impact of the high temperature environment in the combustion furnace on the safety of personnel.
[0090] In the above-mentioned device, the sample transfer mechanism 7 in this embodiment of the present invention can be used to place the test sample and crucible 2 of a preset weight at the positioning point. The test sample can be measured manually or by a weighing device, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0091] In one embodiment of the above-described device, the sample combustion testing equipment of this utility model further includes an exhaust channel 15, which is used to discharge the mixed gas in the combustion chamber 1 after the test. Furthermore, the exhaust channel 15 can be connected to a vacuum generator for rapid exhaust.
[0092] In the above-mentioned equipment, when the combustion chamber 1 is in the open state, the opening and closing mechanism opens the furnace cover 12, which facilitates the sample transfer mechanism 7 to transfer the sample to be tested and the crucible 2. When the combustion chamber 1 is in the closed state, the opening and closing mechanism closes the furnace cover 12. During the combustion process, the sample to be tested will generate a large amount of gas, and the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 are in a sealed state. In one embodiment, the opening and closing mechanism of this utility model includes a connecting component 61, a driving component 62, and a cover opening component 63. The connecting component 61 is disposed on the inner circumference of the opening of the furnace body 11 and the outer circumference of the furnace cover 12. The furnace cover 12 is used to open and close the opening of the furnace body 11. The driving component 62 is used to drive the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 to rotate relative to each other, so that the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 have a locked state and an unlocked state. When the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 are in the locked state, the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 are sealed together by the connecting component 61 to prevent the high pressure environment in the combustion chamber 1 from blowing the furnace cover 12 open. When the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 are in the unlocked state, the cover opening component 63 is used to separate the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11, so as to facilitate the sample transfer mechanism 7 to transfer the test sample and the crucible 2.
[0093] Furthermore, the igniter 3 is used to ignite and burn the sample to be tested. In this embodiment of the present invention, the igniter 3 is specifically a laser igniter 3 installed outside the combustion chamber 1. The laser igniter 3 uses a sealed head to project a laser beam onto the sample to be tested located at the ignition point.
[0094] Furthermore, as one embodiment, the opening and closing mechanism in this utility model embodiment also includes a positioning plate 64 and a sealing member 13. The positioning plate 64 is disposed inside the opening and is fixedly connected to the furnace body 11. The positioning plate 64 is used to abut against the inner side of the furnace cover 12 to position the furnace cover 12. The sealing member 13 is disposed between the positioning plate 64 and the furnace cover 12. When the furnace cover 12 is closed, the combustion chamber 1 is sealed by the sealing member 13.
[0095] Furthermore, as one embodiment, the sealing element 13 in this utility model embodiment can be disposed on the furnace cover 12 or on the sealing plate. Preferably, the sealing element 13 is disposed on the sealing plate.
[0096] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the sealing element 13 is specifically a sealing ring.
[0097] In the above structure, the drive component 62 is used to drive the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 to rotate relative to each other, so that the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 have a locked state and an unlocked state.
[0098] In one of the first embodiments, the connecting component 61 in this utility model includes an internal thread and an external thread. The internal thread is disposed on the inner circumference of the opening, and the external thread is disposed on the outer circumference of the furnace cover 12. The furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 are rotated around a first direction by the driving component 62, thereby fixing the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 together. When it is necessary to open the furnace cover 12, the driving component 62 drives the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 to rotate around a second direction, thereby separating the furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11.
[0099] As a second implementation method, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting component 61 in this embodiment of the present invention includes a first boss 611, a first groove 612, a second boss 614, and a second groove 613. The first boss 611 is disposed above the positioning plate 64 and is fixedly connected to the furnace body 11. The first boss 611 extends from the inner circumference of the opening towards the axis of the furnace body 11. Multiple first bosses 611 are provided, spaced apart around the inner circumference of the opening. A first groove 612 is formed between adjacent first bosses 611. A second groove 613 is provided on the outer circumference of the furnace cover 12, and the second groove 613 cooperates with the first boss 611. A second protrusion 614 is formed between two adjacent second grooves 613. The second protrusion 614 works in conjunction with the first groove 612. When the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12 are locked, the second protrusion 614 is located between the first protrusion 611 and the positioning plate 64. The first protrusion 611 and the positioning plate 64 limit the second protrusion 614 to prevent the furnace cover 12 from separating from the furnace body 11 due to the high temperature and high pressure environment in the combustion chamber 1. When the furnace body 11 and the furnace cover 12 are locked, the second protrusion 614 is opposite to the first groove 612, and the first protrusion 611 is opposite to the second groove 613, so that the furnace cover 12 can be separated from the furnace body 11.
[0100] As a third implementation method, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting component 61 in this embodiment of the present invention further includes a locking groove, a sliding groove 616, and a locking rod 617. The locking groove is disposed on the outer periphery of the opening, with multiple locking grooves spaced apart around the outer periphery of the opening. The sliding groove 616 is disposed on the furnace cover 12. The first end of the locking rod 617 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 616, and the second end of the locking rod 617 is used to insert into the locking groove. When the first end of the locking rod 617 moves to the first side of the sliding groove 616, the second end of the locking rod 617 separates from the locking groove (see...). Figure 7 When the second end of the locking rod 617 moves to the second side of the sliding groove 616, the second end of the locking rod 617 is inserted into the locking groove (see...). Figure 6The furnace cover 12 and the furnace body 11 rotate relative to each other so that the locking rod 617 slides from the first side of the locking groove to the second side of the locking groove.
[0101] In the above structure, as one embodiment, the drive component 62 in this utility model embodiment can directly drive the furnace cover to rotate. As another embodiment, the drive component in this utility model embodiment includes a furnace cover rotation drive mechanism 621 and a furnace cover fixing plate 622.

The furnace cover fixing plate 622 is connected to the furnace cover rotation drive mechanism 621, and the furnace cover 12 fixing plate is driven to rotate by the furnace cover rotation drive mechanism 621.
[0102] In the aforementioned device, when the furnace cover 12 is in the unlocked state, the cover opening assembly 63 separates the furnace cover 12 from the furnace body 11. As a first embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the cover opening component 63 is used to move the furnace cover 12 along the axial direction of the furnace body 11, so that the furnace cover 12 is separated from the furnace body 11.

The collection hopper 945 is disposed below the turntable 91 and is used to collect residue.
[0116] Specifically, after the sample to be tested has been fully combusted, the sample transfer mechanism 7 transfers the crucible 2 and the sample to be tested to the first cleaning position. The first moving drive 93 drives the negative pressure suction mechanism 92 to move vertically to a preset position. The negative pressure suction mechanism 92 removes the residue in the crucible 2. After suction is completed, the first moving drive 93 drives the negative pressure suction mechanism 92 to return to its initial position. The sample transfer mechanism 7 then transfers the crucible 2 and the sample to be tested to the second cleaning position. The second moving drive 95 drives the cleaning assembly 94. Moving vertically downwards, the crucible 2 is fixed in the second cleaning position by the positioning member 942. The cleaning drive member 943 drives the brush 944 to rotate and clean the crucible 2. The second moving drive member 95 drives the cleaning assembly 94 to move upwards and reset.
