Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material detection, and in particular relates to a device for monitoring the remaining material in cement silos. Background technology: A large amount of concrete is used in the construction process, and concrete is mainly composed of cement, sand, gravel, and aggregates. Concrete mixing plants primarily use sealed cement silos to store cement materials, and the amount of cement stored in the silos needs to be monitored regularly to ensure an efficient cement supply.

[0002] Existing technologies typically use electronic material monitors or the rope-knot tapping method to monitor the cement material inside the tank. While material monitors offer high accuracy, their purchase cost is high, and electronic monitors are prone to malfunction, resulting in high repair and replacement costs. Furthermore, there are significant safety risks associated with workers climbing to repair the equipment. The rope-knot tapping method involves lowering a long, rotating rope from the top of the cement tank to the ground, tying a knot or attaching it to a block. Ground personnel pull the rope, causing the knot to rise to the tank and collide with it. The sound emitted from the tank is then used to determine the remaining material level. While this method has lower initial costs, it increases the workload for workers, and the repeated tapping of the tank is necessary to determine the remaining level, resulting in low monitoring efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material height measuring device for cement silos, and to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. It effectively solves the existing problems of high cost and low efficiency in monitoring the remaining material in the silo.

[0004] The present invention relates to a cement silo material balance monitoring device, comprising a cement silo, wherein a transparent tube is vertically arranged on one side of each section of the cement silo, and a first bent tube and a second bent tube are respectively inserted into the top and bottom of the transparent tube, and the ends of the first bent tube and the second bent tube are connected to the side wall of the cement silo.

[0005] Furthermore, the end of the first bent tube extends into the inner cavity of the cement silo.

[0006] Furthermore, a material collection notch is provided at the end of the first bent tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the transparent tube is made of acrylic, while the first bent tube and the second bent tube are both made of stainless steel.

[0008] Furthermore, the bending angles of the first and second bent tubes are 130 to 135 degrees.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This monitoring device has a simple structure, is not easily damaged, and has a low cost. By synchronously flowing the cement material in the cement tank into the transparent tube, ground personnel can directly visually inspect whether the cement material is present in the transparent tube, thereby quickly determining the overall remaining amount of cement material in the cement tank. Its monitoring efficiency is high, and it also reduces the labor intensity of the staff. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0011] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a cement silo material balance monitoring device includes a cement silo 1. A transparent tube 2 is vertically installed on one side of each section of the cement silo 1. A first bent tube 3 and a second bent tube 4 are respectively inserted into the top and bottom of the transparent tube 2. The ends of the first bent tube 3 and the second bent tube 4 are connected to the side wall of the cement silo 1. The end of the first bent tube 3 extends into the inner cavity of the cement silo 1. A material collection notch 5 is provided at the end of the first bent tube 3. The transparent tube 2 is made of acrylic material, and the first bent tube 3 and the second bent tube 4 are both made of stainless steel. The bending angle of the first bent tube 3 and the second bent tube 4 is 130 degrees to 135 degrees.

[0012] Specifically, by simultaneously allowing the cement material in the tank to flow into the transparent pipe 2, ground personnel can directly visually inspect whether the cement material exists in the transparent pipe 2, thereby determining the remaining amount of material.

[0013] In practical use, the transparent tubes 2 vertically installed on one side of each section of the cement silo 1 provide a corresponding observation point for the remaining cement material at each section. Cement is poured in from the top of the cement silo 1. When the cement reaches the height of the inlet at the end of the first bent pipe 3, some cement flows along the first bent pipe 3 into the connected transparent tubes 2 and 4. As the amount of cement in the cement silo 1 increases, it fills the inner cavities of the transparent tubes 2, 3, and 4. Ground personnel can visually inspect the presence of cement in the transparent tubes 2 or use binoculars to determine the storage height of cement in the cement silo 1, thereby further determining the remaining amount of cement in the silo. (See attached...) Figure 1 Taking the example shown, when the cement material at the top of cement silo 1 descends below the end of the second bend pipe 4, the cement material stored in the inner cavities of the transparent pipe 2, the first bend pipe 3, and the second bend pipe 4 flows back into cement silo 1. The transparent pipe 2 then shows no cement material, indicating that 2 / 3 of the cement material remains in cement silo 1. When there is no cement material in the transparent pipe 2 corresponding to the last section of cement silo 1, it indicates that less than 1 / 3 of the cement material remains in cement silo 1, nearing depletion. When ground personnel observe the situation in the transparent pipe 2, they need to promptly add cement to cement silo 1. When cement material is replenished, the transparent tube 2 corresponding to the top section of the cement tank 1 shows cement material, indicating that the cement material is almost full. The aggregate notch 5 allows the cement material in the cement tank 1 to be quickly guided to the first bent tube 3, which facilitates the filling of the subsequent transparent tube 2 and the second bent tube 4. The first bent tube 3 and the second bent tube 4, which are bent at 130 to 135 degrees, facilitate the inclined flow of cement material. The transparent tube 2 is made of acrylic material and the first bent tube 3 and the second bent tube 4 are made of stainless steel, which makes them able to cope well with complex weather conditions and have a longer service life.

[0014] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
