Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crusher technology, specifically to a real-time pressure monitoring and temperature control device for a vertical crusher. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical shaft impact crushers are widely used in mining, building materials, and other industries. Their core component, the bearing, endures immense mechanical pressure and frictional heat during high-speed operation, making it susceptible to lubrication failure, material fatigue, and even equipment damage due to overheating. Traditional heat dissipation control methods typically employ fixed-power cooling fans or simple temperature control strategies, failing to dynamically adjust heat dissipation efficiency based on the actual load conditions of the bearing. This results in problems such as lag in response, high energy consumption, or insufficient heat dissipation. Currently, bearing temperature control largely relies on independent temperature sensor feedback, but temperature changes are lag-dependent, making it difficult to promptly reflect the thermal load impact caused by sudden pressure changes. Furthermore, relying solely on temperature feedback may lead to frequent fan start-stops or prolonged high-power operation, reducing equipment lifespan and wasting energy. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a real-time pressure monitoring and temperature control device for a vertical crusher, which combines real-time bearing pressure monitoring with dynamic adjustment of cooling fan power. The device directly reflects the instantaneous load of the bearing through pressure signals and adjusts the fan power accordingly, thereby overcoming the lag limitation of traditional temperature control. This not only improves the stability of bearing operation but also reduces energy consumption through on-demand heat dissipation, achieving more precise and efficient dynamic temperature control and providing a new approach for the intelligent operation and maintenance of vertical crushers.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pressure real-time monitoring and temperature control device for a vertical crusher, comprising: a pressure real-time monitoring module for detecting the real-time pressure signal of the bearing; a temperature monitoring module for detecting the real-time temperature of the bearing; a cooling fan power adjustment module for dynamically adjusting the power of the cooling fan; and a control and data processing module for receiving the pressure signal and calculating the corresponding fan power adjustment command. The output terminals of the pressure real-time monitoring module and the temperature monitoring module are respectively connected to the input terminal of the control and data processing module, and the output terminal of the control and data processing module is connected to the cooling fan power adjustment module to realize dynamic heat dissipation control based on bearing pressure. The control and data processing module also receives the temperature signal and switches to temperature control mode when the pressure signal is abnormal.
[0005] Preferably, the real-time pressure monitoring module includes: a pressure sensor installed at the stress position of the bearing housing for detecting the radial pressure of the bearing; and a signal conditioning circuit for amplifying, filtering, and converting the signal output by the pressure sensor into an analog-to-digital signal.
[0006] Preferably, the pressure sensor is a piezoelectric or strain gauge sensor and is fixed to the bearing housing by a threaded or embedded structure.
[0007] Preferably, the cooling fan power adjustment module includes: a 220W cooling fan for forced air cooling of the bearing; and a drive board that uses PWM speed regulation to achieve stepless adjustment of the fan power.
[0008] Preferably, the control and data processing module includes: a microcontroller for executing a pressure-power mapping algorithm; an input interface for receiving pressure sensor signals and temperature signals; and an output interface for sending PWM control signals to the cooling fan power regulation module.
[0009] Preferably, the control and data processing module is also connected to a human-machine interface screen for real-time display of pressure, fan power, and alarm status.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The real-time pressure monitoring and temperature control device for the vertical crusher achieves intelligent heat dissipation through multi-modal collaborative control. Its pressure sensor directly detects the radial mechanical pressure of the bearing, and the signal conditioning circuit converts the micro-strain signal into a digital signal. The temperature sensor monitors the bearing temperature, providing delayed but stable thermal state feedback. The microcontroller calculates the heat dissipation demand in real time through a preset pressure-power mapping algorithm. When the pressure signal exceeds the threshold, the fan power is immediately increased to the preset peak value to prevent thermal shock. During normal operation, the fan power is directly driven by the pressure signal, with a response time of <50ms. When the temperature exceeds the safety threshold or the pressure signal fails, it switches to PID temperature control, adjusting the PWM through a PI algorithm. The PWM driver board adjusts the 220W fan speed at a frequency of 20kHz, with a power adjustment range of 10%-100%, and stepless speed regulation avoids mechanical shock. This device uses the pressure signal as a feedforward quantity to predict heat generation and the temperature signal as a feedback quantity to correct errors, resulting in a response speed 3-5 times faster than simple PID temperature control. Furthermore, it identifies abnormal operating conditions such as material jamming in the crusher by detecting the pressure change rate, and enhances heat dissipation in advance before the temperature rises, avoiding the "thermal inertia" problem of traditional temperature control. Therefore, it can save 30%-45% energy compared to fixed-speed fans, and extend the fan life by 2-3 times, making it particularly suitable for intermittent impact load scenarios.
