[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Example:

[0018] The accompanying drawings illustrate a specific embodiment of the moisture detection device for sodium diacetate production according to this utility model. Figure 1 It mainly includes a sodium diacetate silo 1. The outlet of the sodium diacetate silo 1 is connected to the discharge pipe 3 through a pneumatic valve 2. The pneumatic valve 2 is used to control the discharge. When the pneumatic valve 2 is opened, the material in the sodium diacetate silo 1 is output through the discharge pipe 3.

[0019] The discharge pipe 3 is connected to the detection box 4. The detection box 4 has a detection chamber 4a that is connected to the discharge pipe 3. The inner wall of the detection chamber 4a is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene, which is both corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.

[0020] The detection chamber 4a is equipped with a moisture measurement component 5, which includes several microwave moisture sensors 501 arranged at equal intervals. These microwave moisture sensors 501 are connected in series via cables 502. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The upper and lower ends of the cable 502 are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the detection chamber 4a by positioning seats 11, respectively. The cable 502 passes through the positioning seats 11, and the positioning seats 11 are also provided with sealing rings 12 that fit tightly with the cable 502. The sealing rings 12 enable the cable 502 to be better fixed, and the positioning seats 11 will not affect the falling of materials. The detection box 4 on one side of the upper and lower positioning seats 11 is also provided with sealing protective sleeves 13, and the cable 502 passes through the sealing protective sleeves 13 and extends to the outside of the detection box 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor is built into the microwave moisture sensor 501. The temperature compensation algorithm can be used to compensate the measured value of the microwave moisture sensor 501 based on the data measured by the temperature sensor, thereby further improving the measurement accuracy.

[0022] In this embodiment, cable 502 is a tensile-resistant cable, which can enhance tensile strength.

[0023] When detecting the moisture content of materials, the microwave moisture sensor 501 emits a microwave signal of a certain amplitude. The microwave signal penetrates the material; part of the signal is absorbed by the material, and the other part is reflected. The reflected signal is also received by the microwave moisture sensor 501. The moisture content of the material can be measured by the reflected signal measured by the microwave moisture sensor 501, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. This invention uses multiple microwave moisture sensors 501 to monitor the material at multiple points within the entire detection chamber 4a, enabling low-cost and high-precision moisture content measurement.

[0024] The bottom of the detection chamber 4a is equipped with a discharge control valve 6, which is connected in sequence to the discharge pipe 7, the negative pressure fan 8, and the recovery box 9. After the detection is completed, the discharge control valve 6 is opened, and the waste material is drawn into the recovery box 9 by the negative pressure fan 8.

[0025] Inside the detection chamber 4, around the detection cavity 4a, are several purge nozzles 10. These nozzles 10 are used to blow high-pressure gas onto the microwave moisture sensor 501 for surface cleaning. The purge nozzles 10 are evenly arranged around the microwave moisture sensors 501, with at least two nozzles 10 distributed around each sensor. Preferably, four or more nozzles 10 can be evenly arranged around each sensor to fully cover it and ensure effective purging. Each nozzle 10 is connected to a nitrogen gas source via a purge pipe.

[0026] After the material is recovered, the purging nozzle 10 can be opened to clean the residue on the sensor surface, preparing for the next test. No manual intervention is required, and the process is accurate and efficient.

[0027] Of course, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
