Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ethyl sugar dilution technology, specifically relating to an ethyl sugar dilution control device. Background Technology
[0002] In the sugarcane sugar production process, the dilution and reconstitution of ethyl sugar is a key step in the subsequent processing, storage and transportation of ethyl sugar, and its quality has a significant impact on the product quality of the entire sugarcane sugar production line.
[0003] Currently, the dilution and reconstitution of ethyl saccharide generally employs manual operation or a simple semi-automatic control method. During dilution and reconstitution, ethyl saccharide is added to a dilution tank, followed by hot water and stirring, and finally the diluted and reconstituted ethyl saccharide is discharged. However, regardless of the method, existing dilution and reconstitution methods require significant manual intervention. Operators rely on experience to judge the stiffness of the ethyl saccharide paste, which has several drawbacks. Firstly, the accuracy of manually judging the ethyl saccharide concentration is insufficient. Relying solely on operator experience makes it difficult to accurately control the stiffness of the diluted ethyl saccharide paste, resulting in poor product quality stability and failing to meet the requirements of precise production. Secondly, manual adjustment inherently has a lag. Slow response time makes it impossible to obtain real-time dynamic changes in the ethyl saccharide paste, and the water addition cannot be adjusted promptly, easily leading to excessive or insufficient hot water addition. This increases the processing costs and energy consumption of subsequent processes, raising overall production costs and increasing the labor intensity.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a highly automated ethyl sugar dilution control device. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides an ethyl sugar dilution control device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A sugar dilution control device includes: a dilution tank with its top connected to an inlet pipe and a hot water pipe, and its bottom connected to an outlet pipe; and an adjustment assembly including a control system, a first valve, a second valve, a vibratory meter, a flow meter, and a level gauge; the control system is located outside the dilution tank; the first valve is located at one end of the inlet pipe near the dilution tank; the second valve is located at one end of the outlet pipe near the dilution tank; the flow meter is located on the hot water pipe; the vibratory meter is located at the bottom of the dilution tank; and the level gauge is located inside the dilution tank; the first valve and the second valve are solenoid valves; and the first valve, the second valve, the vibratory meter, the flow meter, and the level gauge are electrically connected to the control system.
[0007] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the adjustment component also includes an industrial camera; the industrial camera is disposed inside the dilution tank; the industrial camera is connected to the control system circuit.
[0008] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the industrial camera is located at the bottom of the dilution tank.
[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the adjustment component also includes a protective housing; the protective housing is positioned at the bottom of the dilution tank corresponding to the industrial camera; the protective housing covers the industrial camera; the protective housing is a transparent structure.
[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the adjustment component also includes a flow regulating valve; the flow regulating valve is disposed on the hot water pipe.
[0011] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the flow meter is located between the flow regulating valve and the dilution tank.
[0012] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the flow regulating valve is an electric regulating valve; the flow regulating valve is connected to the control system circuit.
[0013] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the dilution tank also includes a stirrer; the stirrer is located in the middle of the dilution tank; the motor of the stirrer is located on the top surface of the dilution tank, and its shaft and blades are located inside the dilution tank; the motor of the stirrer is connected to the control system circuit.
[0014] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the dilution tank also includes a delivery pump for conveying ethyl sugar; the delivery pump is connected to the end of the feed pipe away from the dilution tank; the delivery pump is connected to the control system circuit.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During operation, the operator pre-sets parameters such as target hammer pressure, dilution tank volume, and liquid level on the control system. The control system then executes control based on these initial parameters. First, ethyl syrup is added, the first valve is opened, and the delivery pump is started, feeding ethyl syrup into the dilution tank. The level gauge monitors the ethyl syrup level in the tank in real time to determine the feed rate. When the ethyl syrup level is greater than or equal to the set value, the control system closes the first valve and the delivery pump. Then, the control system opens the flow regulating valve to allow hot water from the hot water pipe to enter the dilution tank. The flow meter measures the amount of hot water in the tank. After adding a certain amount of hot water, the control system adjusts the opening of the flow regulating valve to reduce the flow rate of the hot water. Simultaneously, the agitator is started to mix the hot water and... Ethyl sugar is rapidly dissolved in hot water. A saturation meter monitors the saturation of the saturation paste in real time, while an industrial camera captures images of the paste and sends feedback to the control system. If the saturation and the size and number of saturation crystals are both greater than set values, hot water is added to the dilution tank until the saturation or the size and number of saturation crystals are less than or equal to the set values. At this point, the control system closes the flow regulating valve and the agitator, and opens the second valve to discharge the saturation paste. When the saturation level in the dilution tank is less than or equal to the discharge completion set value, the second valve is closed, completing the dilution and dissolution of saturation. The entire process is automated by controlling the delivery pump, agitator, first valve, second valve, and flow regulating valve, achieving a high degree of automation with minimal human intervention.

[0027] Work style: During operation, the operator pre-sets parameters such as target hammer pressure, volume of dilution tank 1, and liquid level on the control system.
