Abstract

This application discloses an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill, comprising upper and lower control troughs installed on a discharge chute, a discharge flap fixed on a rotating shaft, a connecting rod rotating at one end of the rotating shaft, and a transmission rod rotating at the other end of the connecting rod. The upper end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the lower end of a cylinder via a connecting assembly, and the cylinder is electrically connected to a PLC control system. In use, based on the actual material feeding situation, the frequency and duration of the cylinder's extension and retraction can be adjusted by the PLC control system to discharge and block material. When the cylinder extends, the transmission rod and connecting rod work together to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the two discharge flaps to rotate, causing their bottoms to approach each other and close, thus blocking the falling material. When the cylinder shortens, the bottoms of the discharge flaps move away from each other, allowing material to be discharged. This ensures that materials meeting the mill feeding standards can be fed into the mill in a timely manner and form a circulation within the roller press circulation system, effectively reducing the circulating load on the dual-drive elevator and roller press.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cement production and processing technology, and in particular to an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into the mill. Background Technology

[0002] In cement processing, coarse powder is typically fed into the mill and then into the roller press system via a feed chute. Currently, the feed chute uses a double-layer airlock valve to automatically discharge the coarse powder by gravity. However, this design has certain drawbacks. The double-layer airlock valve only opens automatically when the material accumulates to a certain weight. The central control operator cannot control the amount of coarse powder fed into the mill, resulting in material that has reached the feeding standard failing to enter the mill in time. This causes the material to circulate within the roller press system, increasing the cyclic load on the dual-drive elevator and the roller press. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into the mill, in order to solve the problem that materials that have met the feeding standards fail to be fed into the mill in time, forming a cycle in the roller press circulation system, which increases the cyclic load of the dual-drive elevator and the roller press.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill, comprising:

[0005] An upper and lower material control chute are installed on the material discharge chute. A pair of rotating shafts are installed through the upper and lower material control chutes. Two material discharge flaps with opposite inclinations are fixed on the rotating shafts and located inside the upper and lower material control chutes. A cylinder is fixed to the outside of the material discharge chute by a mounting assembly. A connecting rod is rotatably installed at one end of each of the two rotating shafts. A transmission rod is rotatably installed at one end of each connecting rod. The upper ends of the two transmission rods are rotatably connected to the cylinder by a connecting assembly. The cylinder is electrically connected to the PLC control system.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill is provided. The mounting assembly includes an L-shaped mounting plate fixed to the outside of the discharge chute and a connecting seat fixed to the upper end of the cylinder. Two connecting blocks are fixed to the outside of the L-shaped mounting plate, and a mounting shaft is fixed on the connecting blocks. The connecting seat is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill is provided, wherein the connecting assembly includes a U-shaped mounting base fixed to the lower end of the cylinder, a connecting shaft is provided on the U-shaped mounting base, and the upper ends of the two transmission rods are located inside the U-shaped mounting base and rotatably connected to the connecting shaft.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill is provided, wherein the upper material control trough and the lower material control trough are connected by bolts through a horizontal plate, and the horizontal plate is provided with a discharge hole communicating with the upper material control trough and the lower material control trough.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill is provided, wherein an inclined baffle plate located above the rotating shaft is fixed at the upper port of the upper material control trough and the lower material control trough.

[0010] The solution requires detailed explanation of an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill, characterized in that the L-shaped mounting plate and the connecting block are integrally formed.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an adaptive PLC pneumatic flap control device for material feeding into a mill, comprising an upper control trough and a lower control trough installed on a feeding chute. A pair of rotating shafts are provided through the upper and lower control troughs. Two feeding flaps with opposite inclination directions are fixed on the rotating shafts and located in the upper and lower control troughs. A cylinder is fixed to the outside of the feeding chute by a mounting assembly. A connecting rod is rotatably mounted at one end of each of the two rotating shafts. A transmission rod is rotatably mounted at one end of the connecting rod. The upper ends of the two transmission rods are rotatably connected to the lower end of the cylinder by a connecting assembly. The cylinder is electrically connected to the PLC control system. During operation, the frequency and duration of cylinder extension and retraction can be adjusted via PLC control system to discharge and block material, based on the actual material entering the mill. When the cylinder extends, the transmission rod and connecting rod work together to drive the rotating shaft, which in turn drives the two corresponding discharge flaps to rotate, causing their bottoms to close together and block the material falling into the discharge chute. When the cylinder retracts, the transmission rod and connecting rod work together to drive the rotating shaft, which in turn drives the two corresponding discharge flaps to rotate, causing their bottoms to separate and discharge material. In actual operation, the discharge flaps in the lower control trough can be kept in a normally open state. This control device ensures that materials that have met the mill entry standards can enter the mill in a timely manner and form a circulation within the roller press circulation system, effectively reducing the circulating load on the dual-drive elevator and the roller press.
