Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing technology in sintering plants, and in particular to a device suitable for automatically adjusting the amount of water added and preheating the water temperature in a mixing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of a sintering plant, the mixing stage is crucial. The moisture content of the raw materials has a significant impact on the quality of the sinter; too much or too little moisture can lead to problems in the sintering process, such as decreased permeability and insufficient strength of the sinter. Currently, many sintering plants rely mainly on manual experience to control the amount of water added during mixing. This method makes it difficult to accurately control the amount of water added, resulting in unstable mixing quality.

[0003] Meanwhile, water temperature also has a certain impact on the mixing effect, especially in winter, when lower water temperatures may affect the uniformity of material mixing and the progress of chemical reactions. However, existing mixing equipment often lacks measures for preheating the water. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a device for automatically adjusting the water addition and preheating the water temperature of a mixing machine, comprising a preheating water tank, a direct water tank, a heating system, and a control system. The heating system is installed inside the preheating water tank and the direct water tank, with the preheating water tank on the upper side and the direct water tank on the lower side. An upper electric valve is provided on the lower side of one end of the preheating water tank, which is connected to the direct water tank.

[0006] Preferably, the preheating water tank has an upper steam heating pipe of the heating system horizontally arranged inside. The upper steam heating pipe has an upper electric steam inlet valve at the steam inlet end and an upper electric steam outlet valve at the steam outlet end. An upper electric water inlet valve and an inspection port are arranged on the upper side of the preheating water tank. A preheating water tank temperature and level detector A is arranged on the upper part of the side wall away from the upper electric steam inlet valve, and a preheating water tank temperature and level detector B is arranged on the lower part.

[0007] Preferably, the direct water tank has a horizontally arranged lower steam heating pipe of the heating system. The lower steam heating pipe has a lower electric steam inlet valve at the steam inlet end and a lower electric steam outlet valve at the steam outlet end.

[0008] Preferably, the control system includes an automatic water filling control system and a valve opening and closing control system.

[0009] Preferably, the automatic water addition control system includes a high-precision humidity sensor (not shown in the figure) installed at the feed inlet of the mixer. The humidity sensor can detect the humidity of the raw materials entering the mixer in real time. The automatic water addition control system compares the actual humidity value with the preset standard value, calculates the amount of water to be added through the water addition calculation model, and controls the opening and closing of the water supply valve, thereby controlling the humidity of the raw materials.

[0010] Preferably, the valve opening and closing control system controls the opening size of the upper electric steam inlet valve, upper electric steam outlet valve, lower electric steam inlet valve, and lower electric steam outlet valve respectively based on the feedback data from the preheating water tank temperature and level detector A, the preheating water tank temperature and level detector B, the direct water tank temperature and level detector A, and the direct water tank temperature and level detector B, so as to control the water temperature in the preheating water tank and the direct water tank; at the same time, it controls the opening and closing of the upper electric inlet valve and the upper electric valve to control the water level.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: automatic and precise control of the amount of water added, so that the moisture content of the raw materials after mixing is kept within a suitable range, avoiding adverse effects on the sintering process due to excessive or insufficient moisture, thereby improving the quality and strength of the sintered ore.

[0018] The control system includes an automatic water filling control system and a valve opening and closing control system.

[0019] The automatic water addition control system includes a high-precision humidity sensor (not shown in the figure) installed at the feed inlet of the mixer. The humidity sensor can detect the humidity of the raw materials entering the mixer in real time. The automatic water addition control system compares the actual humidity value with the preset standard value, calculates the amount of water to be added through the water addition calculation model, and controls the opening and closing of the water supply valves 2-3, thereby controlling the humidity of the raw materials.

[0020] The valve opening and closing control system, based on feedback data from the preheating water tank temperature and level detectors A5-1, B5-2, A5-3, and B5-4, controls the opening size of the upper electric steam inlet valve 3-1, upper electric steam outlet valve 3-2, lower electric steam inlet valve 3-3, and lower electric steam outlet valve 3-4 to control the water temperature in the preheating water tank 1-1 and the direct water tank 1-2; simultaneously, it controls the opening and closing of the upper electric inlet valve 2-1 and upper electric valve 2-2 to control the water level.

After the detected water level drops, the upper electric valve 2-2 is opened to supply water to the direct water tank 1-2.
