Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of activated carbon treatment equipment, and in particular to an automated treatment device for activated carbon. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, activated carbon treatment equipment typically includes an ash silo, a vibrator, a feeding hopper, a weighing system, a stirring motor, a screw conveyor motor, and a discharge valve. It is connected to a PLC controller. During operation, activated carbon granules are manually added to the ash silo, then weighed by the weighing system. When the weight reaches the preset value of the PLC controller, the granules are discharged through the discharge valve into the feeding hopper with the assistance of the vibrator, and then conveyed into the flue by the screw conveyor motor. However, this type of activated carbon treatment equipment has the following problems: First, the degree of automation is low, relying heavily on manual operation and experience, which can easily lead to poor purification effects of the activated carbon on the flue. Second, potential equipment malfunctions, such as motor overheating or vibrator abnormalities, cannot be detected and warned of in a timely manner, easily causing production interruptions and increasing maintenance costs. Third, the screw conveyor motor and stirring motor cannot adjust their speeds according to the real-time delivery volume of activated carbon and stirring requirements, easily causing material accumulation or uneven mixing. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an automated processing device for activated carbon that can improve the automation level of the equipment, ensure uniform material mixing, and provide timely early warning of abnormal equipment conditions.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model: An automated processing device for activated carbon, comprising a base, an ash silo connected to the base, a first solenoid valve connected to the ash silo, a weighing platform connected to the ash silo, a stirring device connected to the base, a discharge pipe connected to the base, a flue connected to the discharge pipe, and a PLC controller. The weighing platform is provided with a material feed chute, a baffle slidably connected to the feed chute, a first hydraulic cylinder for driving the baffle to move horizontally, and a weighing sensor connected to the bottom of the weighing platform. The stirring device includes a component connected to the weighing platform... The system includes a connecting pipe at the bottom of the platform, a mixing tank connected to the connecting pipe, a mixing blade connected to the mixing tank, a first rotary motor for driving the mixing blade to rotate, and a first speed sensor connected to the first rotary motor. One end of the discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the mixing device. The discharge pipe is equipped with a second solenoid valve, an air outlet pipe connected to the discharge pipe, and a blower connected to the air outlet pipe. The flue is connected to the discharge pipe. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the weighing sensor, the first rotary motor, the first speed sensor, the first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, and the blower.
[0005] Using the above technical solution, firstly, activated carbon is poured into the ash hopper. Then, the PLC controller controls the first solenoid valve to open, allowing the activated carbon to flow into the weighing platform. A weighing sensor weighs the activated carbon entering the platform. When the weight of the activated carbon reaches a threshold, the weighing sensor sends an electrical signal to the PLC controller, which then closes the first solenoid valve. Next, the PLC controller controls the first hydraulic cylinder to slide a baffle a certain distance along the feed chute, allowing the activated carbon to flow from the feed chute into the mixing tank. Then, the PLC controller controls the first rotary motor to rotate the mixing blades, preventing material accumulation of activated carbon. Since the first rotary motor is equipped with a first speed sensor, if the first speed sensor... If the speed of the first rotating motor is not up to standard, the first speed sensor sends an electrical signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then controls the first rotating motor to increase its output power, thereby increasing the stirring efficiency of the stirring blades and improving the purification effect of the activated carbon on the flue. After the stirring is completed, the PLC controller controls the second electric valve to open, and the activated carbon flows from the discharge pipe into the flue. At the same time, the PLC controller controls the blower to start working, and the air force generated by the blower flows out through the air outlet pipe. Since the air outlet pipe is connected to the discharge pipe, the activated carbon will be affected by the air force and fed into the flue. This completes the automated activated carbon processing and improves the equipment's self-adjustment capability, ensuring that the activated carbon entering the flue can improve the purification effect on the flue.
[0006] A further feature of this invention is that the ash hopper is provided with a vibrator fixedly connected to the ash hopper and a vibration sensor connected to the ash hopper, and the vibrator and vibration sensor are respectively electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0007] With the above technical solution, since the ash silo is equipped with a vibrator fixedly connected to the ash silo and a vibration sensor connected to the vibrator, the PLC controller can control the vibrator to start working to provide vibration force to the ash silo during equipment operation, thereby preventing activated carbon from sticking together in the ash silo. In addition, the vibration sensor can sense the vibration frequency on the ash silo in real time. If the vibration frequency is lower than the threshold, the PLC controller will control the equipment to stop running and the staff will come to inspect and maintain it.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the discharge pipe is provided with a spiral blade movably connected to the discharge pipe and a second rotary motor for driving the spiral blade to rotate, the second rotary motor being electrically connected to a PLC controller.
[0009] Using the above technical solution, when activated carbon flows from the mixing tank into the discharge pipe, the controller controls the second rotary motor to drive the spiral blades to rotate, thereby ensuring that the activated carbon can flow smoothly from the discharge pipe into the flue. At the same time, during the activated carbon feeding process, the spiral blades will also perform secondary stirring on the activated carbon to ensure uniform feeding of activated carbon.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that both the first and second rotary motors are equipped with temperature sensors, which are electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0011] With the above technical solution, since both the first and second rotary motors are equipped with temperature sensors, when the temperature sensors detect that the temperature on the first and second rotary motors exceeds the threshold, the temperature sensors send an electrical signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then controls the first and second rotary motors to stop working, waiting for personnel to come and inspect them, thereby ensuring that the equipment can operate under normal conditions.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] like Figure 1As shown, an automated processing device for activated carbon includes a base 1, an ash hopper 2 connected to the base 1, a first solenoid valve 3 connected to the ash hopper 2, a weighing platform 4 connected to the ash hopper 2, a stirring device 5 connected to the base 1, a discharge pipe 6 connected to the base 1, a flue 7 connected to the discharge pipe 6, and a PLC controller 8. The weighing platform 4 is equipped with a material chute 9, a baffle 10 slidably connected to the material chute 9, a first hydraulic cylinder 11 for driving the baffle 10 to move horizontally, and a weighing sensor 12 connected to the bottom of the weighing platform 4. The stirring device 5 includes a connecting pipe 13 connected to the bottom of the weighing platform 4. The mixing tank 14 is connected to the connecting pipe 13, the stirring blade 15 is connected to the mixing tank 14, the first rotary motor 16 for driving the stirring blade 15 to rotate and the first speed sensor 17 is connected to the first rotary motor 16, one end of the discharge pipe 6 is connected to the bottom of the mixing device 5, the discharge pipe 6 is provided with a second solenoid valve 18, an air outlet pipe 19 connected to the discharge pipe 6 and a blower 20 connected to the air outlet pipe 19, the flue 7 is connected to the discharge pipe 6, and the PLC controller 8 is electrically connected to the weighing sensor 12, the first rotary motor 16, the first speed sensor 17, the first solenoid valve 3, the second solenoid valve 18 and the blower 20 respectively.
[0015] First, activated carbon is poured into ash hopper 2. Then, the PLC controller 8 controls the first solenoid valve 3 to open, allowing the activated carbon to flow into weighing platform 4. Weighing sensor 12 weighs the activated carbon entering weighing platform 4. When the weight of the activated carbon entering weighing platform 4 reaches a threshold, weighing sensor 12 sends an electrical signal to PLC controller 8. The controller then controls the first solenoid valve 3 to close. Next, PLC controller 8 controls the first hydraulic cylinder 11 to move the baffle 10 along the feed chute 9 a certain distance, allowing the activated carbon to flow from the feed chute 9 into mixing tank 14. Then, PLC controller 8 controls the first rotary motor 16 to rotate the stirring blades 15, preventing material accumulation of activated carbon. Since the first rotary motor 16 is equipped with a first speed sensor 17, if the first speed sensor 17 senses… If the rotational speed of the first rotary motor 16 is not up to standard, the first speed sensor 17 sends an electrical signal to the PLC controller 8. The PLC controller 8 controls the first rotary motor 16 to increase its output power, thereby increasing the stirring efficiency of the stirring blades 15 and improving the purification effect of the activated carbon on the flue 7. After the stirring work is completed, the PLC controller 8 controls the second electric valve to open, and the activated carbon flows from the discharge pipe 6 to the flue 7. At the same time, the PLC controller 8 controls the blower 20 to start working. The air force generated by the blower 20 flows out through the air outlet pipe 19. Since the air outlet pipe 19 is connected to the discharge pipe 6, the activated carbon will be affected by the air force and fed into the flue 7. This completes the automated activated carbon processing work and improves the equipment's self-adjustment capability, ensuring that the activated carbon entering the flue 7 can improve the purification effect on the flue 7.
[0016] The ash hopper 2 is equipped with a vibrator 21 and a vibration sensor 22 fixedly connected to the ash hopper 2. The vibrator 21 and the vibration sensor 22 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 8 respectively.
[0017] Since the ash hopper 2 is equipped with a vibrator 21 fixedly connected to the ash hopper 2 and a vibration sensor 22 connected to the vibrator 21, when the equipment is running, the PLC controller 8 can control the vibrator 21 to start working to provide vibration force to the ash hopper 2, thereby preventing activated carbon from sticking together in the ash hopper 2. In addition, the vibration sensor 22 senses the vibration frequency on the ash hopper 2 in real time. If the vibration frequency is lower than the threshold, the PLC controller 8 controls the equipment to stop running, and the staff comes to inspect and maintain it.
[0018] The discharge pipe 6 is provided with a spiral blade 23 movably connected to the discharge pipe 6 and a second rotary motor 24 for driving the spiral blade 23 to rotate. The second rotary motor 24 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 8.
[0019] When activated carbon flows from the mixing tank 14 into the discharge pipe 6, the controller controls the second rotary motor 24 to drive the spiral blades 23 to rotate, thereby ensuring that the activated carbon can flow smoothly from the discharge pipe 6 into the flue 7. At the same time, during the activated carbon feeding process, the spiral blades 23 will also perform secondary stirring on the activated carbon to ensure that the activated carbon is fed evenly.
[0020] Temperature sensors 25 are provided on both the first rotary motor 16 and the second rotary motor 24, and the temperature sensors 25 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 8.
[0021] Since both the first rotary motor 16 and the second rotary motor 24 are equipped with temperature sensors 25, when the temperature sensor 25 senses that the temperature on the first rotary motor 16 and the second rotary motor 24 exceeds the threshold, the temperature sensor 25 sends an electrical signal to the PLC controller 8. The PLC controller 8 then controls the first rotary motor 16 and the second rotary motor 24 to stop working and wait for the staff to come and inspect them, thereby ensuring that the equipment can operate under normal conditions.
