[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a pulping mechanism, including a stirring component, which includes a primary mixer 4 and a secondary mixer 5.
[0033] The slurry storage component is connected to the stirring component via a connecting pipe;
[0034] The outlet of the primary mixer 4 is connected to the inlet of the secondary mixer 5 through a conveying pipe. The outlet of the secondary mixer 5 is connected to the slurry storage tank 6 through a conveying pipe. After the powder mixture in the primary mixer 4 is stirred, it enters the inner wall of the secondary mixer 5 through the conveying pipe and mixes with the liquid mixture on the inner wall of the secondary mixer 5. After mixing, it enters the inner wall of the slurry storage tank 6 through the conveying pipe.
[0035] The primary mixer 4 and the secondary mixer 5 are used to mix different types of mixtures respectively. The mixture after being mixed by the secondary mixer 5 is transported to the slurry storage component through the connecting pipe.
[0036] The slurry storage component has multiple slurry outlets 7 on its side wall. When the liquid level in the slurry storage component is high, the slurry discharge speed is accelerated by opening different numbers of slurry outlets 7, which causes the liquid level in the slurry storage component to drop rapidly.
[0037] It should be noted that by setting up a two-stage mixing mechanism and temporarily storing the water-cement mixture in the storage tank 6, the mixer can continue to make slurry even when the pouring operation is paused, reducing the downtime. Furthermore, the storage tank 6 is equipped with multiple slurry outlets 7 at different heights. By opening different numbers of outlets, the slurry discharge rate can be accelerated when the liquid level is high, preventing waste caused by excessively high liquid levels in the storage tank 6.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the slurry storage component includes a slurry storage tank 6, and multiple slurry outlets 7 are located at different heights on the side wall of the slurry storage tank 6. All sets of slurry outlets 7 are located on the same axial extension line. When the liquid level in the slurry storage tank 6 is at a high level, the liquid level in the slurry storage tank 6 can be quickly restored to the ideal liquid level by simultaneously opening the slurry outlet 7 at the ideal liquid level height and the slurry outlet 7 located above the ideal liquid level height.
[0040] Specifically, the slurry outlets 7 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the slurry storage tank 6 with the central axis of the slurry storage tank 6 as the center, and the slurry outlets 7 are located at the lower position of the slurry storage tank 6.
[0041] Furthermore, each of the grout outlets 7 is connected to a grouting pipe. By connecting different grouting pipes, grouting operations can be carried out at different locations to improve grouting efficiency.
[0042] In existing technologies, cement-water glass grout is mainly used for grouting and filling. Cement and water glass are the main agents, injected in a specific ratio using a two-component method. Accelerators and retarders are added when necessary to form the grouting material. This grout overcomes the shortcomings of single-component cement grout, such as long and difficult-to-control setting time and low stone formation rate under flowing water conditions, thus improving the effectiveness of cement grouting and expanding its application range. It is suitable for sealing large water inrushes and mudslides in tunnels, as well as for splitting and consolidating karst flow plastic soil. In strata with high groundwater flow velocities, this mixed grout can achieve rapid leak sealing. It can also be used for seepage prevention and reinforcement grouting, and is a major grouting material in tunnel construction.
[0043] Existing pulping plants occupy a large area and have low automation efficiency. The pulp discharge port requires dedicated personnel to discharge the prepared pulp, resulting in significant labor waste. In this invention, a skid-mounted system is used to integrate the pulping equipment. This facilitates the transport of various devices, requiring only on-site pipeline assembly upon arrival, thus reducing the intensity of pre-construction preparation. Furthermore, the skid-mounted system offers higher integration and requires less space, effectively saving floor space.
[0044] Furthermore, this utility model incorporates a slurry storage tank 6 after secondary mixing, and slurry outlets 7 at different heights on the slurry storage tank 6. By opening the slurry outlets 7 at different liquid levels, the amount of slurry discharged per unit time can be controlled, thereby controlling the slurry level in the slurry storage tank 6.
[0045] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the above embodiments, this embodiment provides an intelligent pulping station, which includes the above-mentioned pulping mechanism and a pulping component. The pulping component includes a dry material storage tank and a wet material storage tank.
[0048] The slurrying component is connected to the mixing component via a conveyor. The slurrying component is used to convey the material to the mixing component for mixing. The material that has been mixed by the secondary mixer 5 is then transported to the slurry storage tank 6 for storage.
[0049] Specifically, the dry material storage tanks include a cement tank 1 and a fly ash tank 2 arranged side by side, each with a discharge port that is connected to the mixing unit via a conveyor.
[0050] Furthermore, the wet material storage tank includes a water tank 8 and a water glass tank 9, and the water tank 8 and the water glass tank 9 are respectively connected to the secondary mixer 5 through connectors.
[0051] Furthermore, the conveying component includes a screw conveyor 3, with one end of the screw conveyor 3 located at the outlet of the dry material storage tank and the other end of the screw conveyor 3 located at the inlet of the primary mixer 4. Cement powder and fly ash are mixed and conveyed into the primary mixer 4 through the screw conveyor 3.
[0052] Furthermore, booster pumps are installed at the outlets of water tank 8 and water glass tank 9. The booster pumps deliver clean water and water glass to the secondary mixer 5, where they are further mixed with the powder from the primary mixer 4 to form a cement-water glass slurry.
[0053] The primary mixer is used to mix powdery mixtures. The powdery mixture from the primary mixer flows through a conveying pipe into the secondary mixer, where it mixes with the liquid mixture on the inner wall of the secondary mixer before being conveyed to a storage tank.
[0054] Example 4
[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The slurry storage component also includes a slurry storage tank 10, and a transparent viewing window is provided on the side wall of the slurry storage tank 10. The transparent viewing window is used to observe the liquid level on the inner wall of the slurry storage tank 10 in real time.
[0056] Furthermore, the slurry storage tank 10 is used to store the stirred slurry, and the slurry outlet 7 is used to discharge the slurry. The opening and closing status of multiple sets of slurry outlets 7 is controlled to quickly restore the liquid on the inner wall of the slurry storage component to the ideal liquid level.
[0057] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 3.
