Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the increasing demand for high-performance cement in the construction industry, low-carbon silicate cement has gradually gained attention due to its environmental friendliness and excellent performance.

[0003] Expansive agents, as important additives in cement production, can effectively improve the expansion properties of cement and enhance the crack resistance and durability of concrete.

[0004] Currently, the addition of expansive agents in cement production usually adopts the premixing method or the simultaneous addition method. However, these methods have problems such as uneven distribution of expansive agents and low addition precision, which affect the final performance of cement. In recent years, post-addition technology has gradually become a research hotspot, aiming to improve the performance of cement by precisely controlling the addition time and amount of expansive agents. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a device for adding low-carbon silicate cement expansion agent, which enables precise addition of low-carbon silicate cement expansion agent, improves cement performance, and solves the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a device for adding low-carbon silicate cement expansion agent, comprising a storage component, a metering component, and a mixing module. The storage component includes a storage silo, the metering component includes a metering box, a weighing device is installed at the bottom of the metering box, a discharge pipe is connected to the top of the metering box, the top of the discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the storage silo, a first solenoid valve is installed on a section of the discharge pipe, a small variable frequency air compressor is fixedly connected to one side of the metering box, an air outlet pipe is connected to the output end of the small variable frequency air compressor, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the output end of the air outlet pipe, the output end of the air outlet pipe is embedded in the inner wall of the weighing device, a second solenoid valve is installed on a section of the air outlet pipe, a feeding pipe is installed on one side of the metering box, a third solenoid valve is installed on a section of the feeding pipe, a vibration motor is installed at the bottom of the metering box, and the mixing module includes a mixing box, with the output end of the feeding pipe embedded in the top of the mixing box.

[0007] The above scheme utilizes a discharge pipe and a first solenoid valve to transport the expanding agent from the storage silo to a metering tank for weighing. After entering the metering tank, the expanding agent falls onto a weighing device for accurate weighing, ensuring the metering accuracy. Then, a small variable frequency air compressor is activated to blow the metered expanding agent into a feeding pipe, which then transports it to a mixing tank, completing the addition of the expanding agent. Designed specifically for the characteristics of low-carbon silicate cement expanding agents, this system meets the production requirements of high-performance cement, achieves precise addition of low-carbon silicate cement expanding agents, improves cement performance, and features a simple structure, low cost, and convenient operation, making it highly practical.

[0008] Furthermore, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metering box, and the guide plate is located below the discharge pipe.

[0009] With the above scheme, the guide plate is installed at an angle on the inner wall of the metering box, which can guide the expanding agent to flow into the feeding pipe, facilitating the feeding of the expanding agent after metering.

[0016] Furthermore, the metering box is connected to the mixing box via a feeding pipe, and a stirring assembly is installed inside the mixing box.

[0017] Through the above scheme, the feeding pipe directly delivers the metered expansion agent to the mixing tank, and the mixing component ensures that the expansion agent and cement clinker are quickly and evenly mixed during dynamic conveying.

[0018] Furthermore, a feeding plate is installed at the top of the mixing box, a discharge pipe is installed at the bottom of the mixing box, and a fourth solenoid valve is installed on the pipe section of the discharge pipe.

[0019] With the above scheme, the feeding plate can easily add cement and other clinker into the mixing box, and the discharge pipe controls the discharge rhythm of the cement mixture through the fourth solenoid valve to match the production line rhythm and avoid blockage or overflow.

[0020] Furthermore, four second support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mixing box, and a positioning piece is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each second support column.

[0021] With the above solution, the second support column is fixed to the foundation by positioning plates, which improves the overall rigidity of the equipment and adapts to the needs of high-load continuous production.

Then, a small variable frequency air compressor is started to blow the metered expanding agent into a feeding pipe, which then transports it to the mixing tank, completing the expansion agent addition process.

[0035] In this embodiment, the low-carbon silicate cement expanding agent post-addition device, through the discharge pipe 203 and the first solenoid valve 204, can transport the expanding agent inside the storage silo 101 to the metering box 201 for weighing.

Then, the mixing component 302 is started to make the expansion agent and cement clinker mix quickly in dynamic conveying. The mixed cement is discharged through the discharge pipe 304 by the fourth solenoid valve 305 according to the production line rhythm to avoid blockage. During the process, the replenishment hopper 102 monitors the remaining amount in the storage bin 101 in real time through the range bar 103 and replenishes the material in time.
