Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional density meter tank bodies in thermal power plants are prone to tilting due to vibrations, leading to instability and potential accidents during slurry density measurement, which can disrupt operations and pose safety risks.
Innovation Solution
A tank body device with a clamping assembly, clinging assembly, and push assembly that automatically repositions and secures a tilted density meter tank body, utilizing rotating members, telescopic members, and springs to maintain stability and prevent toppling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a passive clamping mechanism is used to secure the tank body, then the device structure is simple, but the tank body becomes unstable under vibration and may tilt or topple
Solution Approach 1:
The push assembly with spring automatically pushes the tank body back to its original position after tilting occurs due to vibration. The system self-corrects the instability without requiring external intervention, maintaining reliability while keeping the overall structure relatively simple.
2Measurement precision
If the tank body is frequently replaced due to damage from tilting, then measurement accuracy can be maintained, but operational efficiency decreases and safety risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping assembly secures the tank body in place before vibration occurs, and the push assembly is pre-positioned to automatically correct any tilting. This preliminary preparation prevents damage before it happens, eliminating the need for frequent replacements and maintaining continuous operational efficiency.
3Device complexity
If no active stabilization mechanism is implemented, then the device complexity remains low, but the ability to detect and correct tilting in real-time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The push assembly acts as a mechanical feedback system that continuously monitors the tank body position and automatically corrects tilting by pushing the tank body back to its original position. This provides real-time stabilization without requiring complex electronic sensors or control systems.

AI summary
A tank body device for measuring slurry density of thermal power generation slurry is provided. Particularly, the tank body includes a clamping assembly, a clinging assembly, and a plurality of push assembly. The clamping assembly, with a base case and closing members, securely holds the tank body. The clinging assembly, featuring telescopic members, articulation pieces, and clamping rings, provides additional support and ensures stability. Each push assembly includes a moving part, push member, and first spring, all integrated into the system. This arrangement enables automatic realignment of the tank body when it tilts, reducing the workload for plant staff and ensuring precise measurement of weight and pressure values.
