Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of purging control technology, and in particular to a PLC-based compressed air constant pressure purging system for sawing lines in finishing workshops. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel rolling process, the rolled parts enter the sawing line in the finishing workshop for cut to length. During sawing, coolant from the saw blade and sawdust generated during the sawing process remain on the surface of the rolled parts.

[0024] Working Principle: A photoelectric photoelectric switch for material detection is installed at the interface between the sawing roller conveyor 8 and the transport roller conveyor 9 after sawing. After sawing, the sawing platform descends, and the cut-length rolled piece 10 falls onto the sawing roller conveyor 8. The sawing roller conveyor 8 and the transport roller conveyor 9 start operating simultaneously. When the head of the sawn rolled piece 10 passes through the interface between the sawing roller conveyor 8 and the transport roller conveyor 9, the material detection switch detects the passing of the head of the rolled piece 10. At this time, the electric actuator valve 4 of the purging system is opened, and a large amount of compressed air is blown onto the surface of the rolled piece 10, blowing away the coolant and surface iron filings. When the tail of the rolled piece 10 passes through the material detection switch, the valve of the purging system is closed, and the operation stops. To ensure the pressure stability of the entire purging system, a pressure transmitter 2 is installed in the pipeline. The frequency of the compressor motor is adjusted by setting and feedback pressure through a PLC to ensure constant pressure in the pipeline and ensure the purging effect. The compressor motors are used in a one-in-one standby configuration, which also ensures the stable operation of the entire system.
