Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment, specifically a multi-branch starch slurry conveying pipeline device for preventing blockage. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial production, pipeline transportation technology has undergone long-term development and achieved remarkable results. In addition, pipeline transportation systems are relatively easy to automate. With the help of various sensors and control systems, parameters such as flow rate and pressure during the transportation process can be precisely controlled, which greatly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs.
[0003] Existing multi-branch starch slurry conveying pipelines, which include branch pipelines and main pipelines, typically use T-shaped connections. During the transport of starch slurry in the main pipeline, excessive local pressure can easily be applied to the branch pipelines, causing blockages. Furthermore, controlling the flow rate in the branch pipelines using individual valves is disadvantageous, primarily because small valve openings can lead to a surge in local pressure, causing turbulence. Additionally, the valve structure is susceptible to wear from the starch slurry medium. Therefore, the inventors urgently need to design a Y-shaped pipeline structure that integrates guide vanes and valves to improve the efficiency of starch slurry transport. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-branch starch slurry conveying pipeline device to prevent clogging, so as to solve the technical problem of easy clogging during starch slurry conveying.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-branch starch slurry conveying pipeline device for preventing blockage, comprising a conveying pipeline body, the conveying pipeline body including branch pipelines and a main pipeline, a set of guide vane mechanism provided inside the connection between the main pipeline and the branch pipeline, the guide vane mechanism including a base, a transmission rod and a rotating rod, the base being embedded in the lower part of the pipeline, the bottom of the transmission rod and the rotating rod being provided with saw gears for transmitting power, the saw gears being meshed together, and guide vanes being provided on the surfaces of the transmission rod and the rotating rod.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, a guide vane mechanism is installed inside the connection between the main pipeline and the branch pipeline. Through the meshing transmission of the transmission rod, the rotating rod and the saw gear, the guide vane can be driven to rotate, which helps to guide the flow direction of the starch slurry in the pipeline and reduce the flow resistance.
[0007] Furthermore, a geared motor for driving the transmission rod to rotate is provided on the upper part of the guide vane mechanism.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, a geared motor is set on the upper part of the guide vane mechanism to drive the transmission rod to rotate, which provides a power source for the adjustment of the guide vane and ensures that the guide vane can achieve stable and reliable operation.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment range of the guide vanes is 0°-90°.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, the guide vane can be adjusted within a range of 0°-90°, which means that it can flexibly change the guide angle according to actual needs, thereby achieving a wide range of adjustment of starch slurry flow rate and meeting the flow requirements of different branches under different working conditions.
[0011] Furthermore, the connection between the branch pipeline and the main pipeline is configured as a Y-shaped pipeline, and the corners of the Y-shaped pipeline are rounded. The connection between the branch pipeline and the main pipeline is fixedly connected by flange connectors.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, the connection between the branch pipeline and the main pipeline is set as a Y-shaped intersection, which conforms to the fluid dynamic characteristics of starch slurry diversion. This can guide the starch slurry to flow more smoothly from the main pipeline to each branch, reduce flow resistance and turbulence, and reduce the probability of starch slurry deposition at the connection.
[0013] Furthermore, each branch pipeline is equipped with a separate valve, and a flow sensor of model AMF-4-106 is installed at the valve.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, by installing valves separately in the branch pipelines, the flow rate of starch slurry in each branch can be independently controlled, which facilitates precise adjustment of the flow rate according to the specific needs of each branch and improves the flexibility of flow distribution.
[0015] Furthermore, the geared motor is capable of receiving electrical signals converted by the flow sensor.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, the geared motor can receive the electrical signal converted by the flow sensor, realizing the linkage between flow monitoring and guide vane adjustment. When the flow sensor detects that the branch flow deviates from the expected flow, the electrical signal is transmitted to the geared motor, which can drive the transmission rod to rotate in time, thereby adjusting the angle of the guide vane and realizing automatic flow adjustment.
[0017] Furthermore, a pump body is provided at the end of the main pipeline, and a pipeline connection port is provided on the surface of the pump body.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, a pump body is installed in the main pipeline to provide power for the transportation of starch slurry in the entire pipeline system, ensuring that the starch slurry can flow smoothly from the main pipeline to each branch, meeting the needs of long-distance or multi-branch transportation.
[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0020] 1. This utility model achieves automated adjustment of the guide vane through the linkage design of the guide vane, the geared motor and the flow sensor. It stabilizes the liquid flow state of the branch pipeline, reduces the impact pressure on the pipeline, extends the service life of the pipeline, and reduces the maintenance cycle. Furthermore, the guide vane's flow guiding function further realizes the basic distribution of flow and simplifies the fine adjustment process of the valve.
[0021] 2. This utility model optimizes the flow of starch slurry through Y-shaped pipes and rounded corner design, making the transportation of starch slurry smoother. It avoids the turbulence and increased resistance caused by right-angle diversion, reduces the risk of starch slurry blockage, stabilizes the impact force of starch slurry on the pipe during transportation, and increases the transportation speed and improves transportation efficiency in accordance with the principles of fluid mechanics.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] In this embodiment:
[0029] A clog-resistant multi-branch starch slurry conveying pipeline device, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the system includes a main conveying pipeline 1, which comprises a branch pipeline 8 and a main pipeline 9. A set of guide vane mechanisms 7 is provided inside the connection between the main pipeline 9 and the branch pipeline 8. The guide vane mechanism 7 includes a base 703, a transmission rod 701, and a rotating rod 702. The base 703 is embedded in the lower part of the pipeline. The bottom of the transmission rod 701 and the rotating rod 702 are provided with saw gears 704 for transmitting power. The saw gears 704 are meshed together, and guide vanes are provided on the surfaces of the transmission rod 701 and the rotating rod 702. 705. A guide vane mechanism 7 is installed inside the connection between the main pipeline 9 and the branch pipeline 8. Through the meshing transmission of the transmission rod 701, the rotating rod 702 and the saw gear 704, the guide vane 705 can be rotated, which helps to guide the flow direction of starch slurry in the pipeline and reduce flow resistance. At the same time, this structural design allows starch slurry to flow more smoothly from the main pipeline 9 to the branch pipeline 8, reducing the risk of blockage caused by poor flow at the connection, improving the overall conveying efficiency, and realizing the guidance and distribution of starch slurry flow direction and flow rate.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The upper part of the guide vane mechanism 7 is equipped with a geared motor 3 for driving the transmission rod 701 to rotate. The geared motor 3 on the upper part of the guide vane mechanism 7 drives the transmission rod 701 to rotate, providing a power source for the adjustment of the guide vane 705 and ensuring that the guide vane 705 can achieve stable and reliable operation. At the same time, the driving method of the geared motor 3 can precisely control the rotation speed and angle of the transmission rod 701, thereby precisely adjusting the state of the guide vane 705, making the flow control of starch slurry more flexible and adapting to different conveying needs.
[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The guide vane 705 has an adjustment range of 0°-90°. First, the adjustable range of the guide vane 705 means that it can flexibly change the guiding angle according to actual needs, thereby realizing a wide range of adjustment of starch slurry flow rate and meeting the flow requirements of different branches under different working conditions. At the same time, the wide adjustment range also makes the guide vane 705 more adaptable to dealing with flow fluctuations. The flow rate of each branch can be stabilized by adjusting the angle appropriately, thereby improving the stability of system operation.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The connection between branch pipe 8 and main pipe 9 is set as a Y-shaped pipe 10, and the corner of the Y-shaped pipe 10 is rounded. The connection between branch pipe 8 and main pipe 9 is fixedly connected by flange connector 4. First, setting the connection between branch pipe 8 and main pipe 9 as a Y-shaped intersection conforms to the fluid dynamic characteristics of starch slurry diversion, which can guide starch slurry to flow more smoothly from the main road to each branch, reduce flow resistance and turbulence, and reduce the probability of starch slurry deposition at the connection. At the same time, the fixed connection by flange connector 4 ensures the sealing performance of the connection, prevents starch slurry leakage, and facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the pipeline, thus improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 Each branch pipe 8 is equipped with a separate valve 2, and a flow sensor of model AMF-4-106 is installed at valve 2. First, by installing valve 2 separately in branch pipe 8, the flow rate of starch slurry in each branch can be independently controlled, which facilitates precise adjustment of the flow rate according to the specific needs of each branch and improves the flexibility of flow distribution. At the same time, the flow sensor of model AMF-4-106 installed at valve 2 can monitor the flow rate of starch slurry in branch pipe 8 in real time and feed back the flow information in a timely manner, providing data support for flow regulation and ensuring the accuracy of regulation.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The geared motor 3 can receive the electrical signal converted by the flow sensor. First, the geared motor 3 can receive the electrical signal converted by the flow sensor, realizing the linkage between flow monitoring and guide vane adjustment. When the flow sensor detects that the branch flow deviates from the expected flow, the electrical signal is transmitted to the geared motor 3, and the motor can drive the transmission rod 701 to rotate in time, thereby adjusting the angle of the guide vane 705 and realizing automatic flow adjustment. At the same time, this linkage mechanism reduces manual intervention, improves the response speed and accuracy of flow adjustment, and ensures the stability of the flow in each branch.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 At the end of the main pipeline 9, a pump body 5 is provided, and a pipe connection port 6 is opened on the surface of the pump body 5. First, the pump body 5 is provided in the main pipeline 9 to provide power for the transportation of starch slurry in the entire pipeline system, ensuring that the starch slurry can flow smoothly from the main pipeline to each branch, meeting the needs of long-distance or multi-branch transportation. At the same time, the pipe connection port 6 opened on the surface of the pump body 5 facilitates connection with other pipelines or equipment, expands the applicability of the equipment, and makes the layout of the entire transportation system more flexible.
[0036] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The Y-shaped pipe 10 at the connection between the branch pipe 8 and the main pipe 9 is designed with rounded corners. This reduces the risk of blockage during starch slurry transportation. Furthermore, a guide vane mechanism 7 is designed at the connection between the branch pipe 8 and the main pipe 9 and driven by a reduction motor 3. The reduction motor 3 can also receive electrical signals from the flow sensor, so that when the flow rate of the branch pipe is different during starch transportation, the reduction motor can automatically adjust the guide vane to the optimal guide angle, thereby reducing the risk of blockage while simultaneously achieving efficient flow regulation.
