Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of phosphoric acid processing equipment technology, specifically to a replacement structure device for a displacement sensor for monitoring the torque of a phosphoric acid tank rake. Background Technology
[0002] Phosphoric acid rakes are key mixing equipment in wet-process phosphoric acid production, primarily used for mixing phosphoric acid slurries in extraction or purification tanks. Their rake tooth structure effectively prevents solid particle deposition, ensuring uniform mixing of reactants. In the phosphoric acid purification process, the rake promotes phase separation through continuous stirring, while preventing localized crystallization or blockage, directly impacting production efficiency and product quality. This equipment must possess corrosion and wear resistance to withstand highly acidic conditions.
[0003] Utility model patent CN216537002U discloses an extraction and separation tank for a phosphoric acid purification device. This extraction and separation tank includes a tank body and a rake. The tank body has a top and a bottom, with a residue outlet at the bottom. A stirring shaft, which enters the tank body from the top, is rotatably mounted on the rake. A stirring paddle is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft at a position in the lower part of the tank body. The tank body has an inner cylinder with openings at both the top and bottom, through which the stirring shaft passes. The system is equipped with a vertically oriented guide cylinder. The upper end of the guide cylinder is sealed, and the lower end is open. A feed pipe is connected to the guide cylinder, which passes through the top of the tank or the top of the tank in a sealed manner. The feed pipe is connected to the internal space of the guide cylinder. An organic phase overflow weir is provided on the inner cylinder. An acid phase overflow weir is provided in the space outside the inner cylinder inside the tank. The height of the top of the acid phase overflow weir is lower than the height of the top of the organic phase overflow weir. The lowest points of the organic phase overflow weir and the acid phase overflow weir are respectively connected to the organic phase discharge pipe and the acid phase discharge pipe leading to the outside of the tank.
[0004] The extraction and separation tank used in this phosphoric acid purification unit has a rake whose stirring shaft is directly connected to the motor. This lack of a real-time monitoring mechanism for the operating torque makes it prone to motor overload or rake damage when the resistance of the medium inside the tank changes abruptly, such as when sediment accumulates or viscosity changes. Furthermore, the trend of torque changes cannot be visually assessed, and the mechanical displacement of the rake, such as its deflection angle, is not converted into an observable signal. This makes it difficult for operators to adjust the stirring parameters in a timely manner, affecting separation stability. Relying on external sensors to monitor the equipment status requires additional installation space and is susceptible to phosphoric acid corrosion, increasing maintenance costs. Therefore, we propose an alternative structure for a phosphoric acid rake torque monitoring displacement sensor. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0040] Please see Figures 1-7A replacement structure for a torque monitoring displacement sensor in a phosphate trough rake includes a trough body 100, a rotating motor 120, and a rake 130 housed within the trough body 100. A torque monitoring mechanism 200 is installed between the output shaft of the rotating motor 120 and the rake 130. Through the mechanical linkage design of the torque monitoring mechanism 200, it can replace traditional electronic sensors and directly monitor the working torque of the rake 130, avoiding sensor failure due to phosphate corrosion. A fixing frame 110 is fixed to the top of the trough body 100, and the rotating motor 120 is mounted on the top of the fixing frame 110. The rake 130 and the end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 120 are coaxially connected through the torque monitoring mechanism 200. The fixing frame 110 provides stable support for the overall structure, ensuring the axial alignment of the torque monitoring mechanism 200 with the rotating motor 120 and the rake 130.
[0041] like Figures 1-4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this utility model, the torque monitoring mechanism 200 includes a passive turntable 210 fixedly connected to the top end of the rake 130 shaft, a top cover 220 installed on the top end of the passive turntable 210, an active turntable 230 sleeved inside the passive turntable 210 and rotatably connected to the passive turntable 210, and several abutment springs 240 disposed inside the passive turntable 210. The passive turntable 210 rotates synchronously with the rake 130, while the active turntable 230 is linked to the rotating motor 120 via a convex shaft 232. The relative displacement between the two can reflect torque changes. A convex shaft 232 is fixedly attached to the top end of the active turntable 230. The top end of the convex shaft 232 passes through the top cover 220 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 120. The top cover 220 seals the top of the passive turntable 210 to prevent media intrusion and provides axial positioning for the convex shaft 232.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the top surface of the passive turntable 210 has several annularly spaced sector-shaped grooves 212. A cavity 211 is formed at the center of the top surface of the passive turntable 210. The inner ends of the sector-shaped grooves 212 are connected to the cavity 211. The active turntable 230 is fitted inside the cavity 211 and can rotate axially within the cavity 211. The cavity 211 restricts the radial displacement of the active turntable 230, ensuring that it only deflects relative to the passive turntable 210 axially. Several annularly spaced sector-shaped blocks 231 are arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the active turntable 230. The sector-shaped blocks 231 extend into the sector-shaped grooves 212. The cooperation between the sector-shaped blocks 231 and the sector-shaped grooves 212 converts the torque into an angular difference between the two, which in turn reflects the magnitude of the torque through the compression of the abutment spring 240.
[0043] like Figures 2-7As shown, further, several outwardly extending protruding rods 215 are fixed at the bottom position of the outer peripheral surface of the passive turntable 210. The ends of the protruding rods 215 are equipped with indicator needles 216. An outwardly extending straight rod 234 is fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the sector block 231. The end of the straight rod 234 is equipped with an indicator plate 235. The tip of the indicator needle 216 faces the outer end face of the indicator plate 235. The extended design of the protruding rods 215 and the straight rod 234 amplifies the internal torque displacement to the external visible area. Several equally spaced indicator scale grooves 236 are provided on the outer surface of the indicator plate 235. The indicator needle 216 points to the indicator scale grooves 236 to display the relative displacement caused by torque. The cooperation between the indicator scale grooves 236 and the indicator needle 216 provides an intuitive torque reading, facilitating real-time adjustment of the parameters of the rotating motor 120 by the operator.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in addition, a number of through windows 214 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the passive turntable 210. The through windows 214 are connected to the fan-shaped groove 212. The straight rod 234 extends outward from the through windows 214. The through windows 214 provide the straight rod 234 with room to move, so that the straight rod 234 can rotate synchronously with the active turntable 230. The through windows 214 provide the straight rod 234 with a channel to move, ensuring its degree of freedom to rotate with the active turntable 230, while limiting radial sway.
[0045] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that the abutment spring 240 is located between the sector block 231 and the groove wall of the sector groove 212. A side groove 213 is formed on the side wall of the sector groove 212, and the end of the abutment spring 240 extends into the side groove 213. A groove 233 is formed on the side surface of the sector block 231 near the side groove 213, and the head end of the abutment spring 240 extends into the groove 233. The cooperation between the side groove 213 and the groove 233 fixes both ends of the abutment spring 240, so that its compression is directly related to the deflection angle of the sector block 231. The abutment spring 240 is in a compressed state between the side groove 213 and the groove 233. When the sector block 231 is deflected by force, the abutment spring 240 provides elastic resistance. This elastic resistance can balance torque fluctuations and avoid rigid impacts. Simultaneously, the torque value can be indirectly quantified through the spring deformation.
[0046] It is worth noting that the rotating motor 120 involved in this utility model is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0047] When using the replacement structure device for the displacement sensor for monitoring the torque of the phosphate trough rake in this embodiment, firstly, start the rotating motor 120 so that the rotating motor 120 drives the cam shaft 232 to rotate the active turntable 230. At this time, the active turntable 230 pushes the abutment spring 240 through the sector block 231 to transmit the torque to the passive turntable 210.
[0048] Then, the passive turntable 210 lags due to the medium resistance of the rake 130, which causes an angle difference to form between the sector block 231 and the sector groove 212, and compresses the abutment spring 240.
[0049] Next, the straight rod 234 rotates with the active turntable 230, causing the indicator plate 235 and the indicator needle 216 to undergo relative displacement;
[0050] Finally, the relative position change between the indicator needle 216 and the indicator scale groove 236 directly displays the torque magnitude. The operator can adjust the power of the rotating motor 120 or clean the sediment in the groove based on the reading.
[0051] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
