Description

The system of check gravimetric feeder and belt scale align mode
The system that the present invention relates generally to check the align mode of meter pipe banding pattern batcher and conveyor to use, this batcher and conveyor are used for loose unpacked material being carried out continuous weighing when loose unpacked material betransported by weighing of corresponding batcher during span.Usually, this type of gravimetric feeder or conveyor comprise an entrance zone, threshold zone, a discharging section and the span section of weighing between them.More particularly, the present invention relates to the system that the align mode of a specific weighing platform of a kind of check is used, method is that a precision measurement chain that is placed the span of weighing by corresponding batcher or conveyor is weighed and the known weight of indication weight and this testing chain is compared.Precision measurement chain by utilizing known weight and spacing and before the check align mode weighing platform is established some physical attribute, this system can provide result highly reliably.
Be used for generally knowing in this technical field to the continuous gravimetric feeder or the conveyor of receiver bin or metallic ore stove shipping bulk material (as broken coal) from feeder hopper.This type of batcher generally includes one around a pair of conveying belt and weighing platform that rotates relative to the belt pulley of arrangement, and the latter is used for loose unpacked material being carried out continuous weigh by weighing of a qualification in advance during the span section when loose unpacked material.Particularly, the last band of belt can be subjected to the supporting of the backing roll of a plurality of gaps predetermined value.Settled interval between any two backing rolls of the roller of weighing to define the length of the span section of weighing just betwixt.When loose unpacked material by the weighing during the span section of gravimetric feeder, a microprocessor that is connected on this weigh span section and belt transmission (motor) is determined delivery rate, promptly in the unit interval by the nt wt net weight of the loose unpacked material of conveying belt carrier band.Like this, by the monitoring delivery rate, can control batcher speed and make it meet instantaneous loose unpacked material transmission requirement.The conveyor that belt scale is housed also can use the microprocessor that is connected on the weighing platform, when loose unpacked material when weighing span, the tested weight of this weighing platform accumulative total.Such conveyor is used to the shipping bulk material and does not control transfer rate.
Usually, this weighing device comprises the roller of weighing, and is used for the weigh weight of loose unpacked material in the span section of METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS DETERMINATION conveyor.This roller of weighing is bearing between two backing rolls by a piezo-electric type or strainmeter (strainometer) type force cell transducer, and this force cell transducer produces one corresponding to the current loose unpacked material in the span section of weighing and the general assembly (TW) of tare weight of being placed in.When loose unpacked material when weighing above the span section, microprocessor that is connected on this device is accepted as the information of the general assembly (TW) of loose unpacked material weight and platform tare weight sum and is handled this information, thus calibration and control the operation of this weighing device and gravimetric feeder.
Conventional gravimetric feeder and conveyor utilize a static benchmark load to calibrate.What calibrate is at first to compensate gross weight, then a static load of being made up of accurate known weight is applied on the suitable parts of the span section of weighing, and calibrates microprocessor control then to show pivot weight.This calibration steps may always can correctly not calibrated the span section of weighing, and because pivot weight can not cause the variation of belt tension and deflection (for example sag of belt) or reproduce structural deviation and may produce error, these structural deviation otherwise material load on the conveying belt of gravimetric feeder or conveyor occur.Simultaneously, with the calibration of the Weight apparatus that hangs from above the time, may since the error that the bearing friction of the roller of weighing when loading produces be left in the basket.
The calibration of gravimetric feeder and conveyor obtains verification or proof by the material test.In fact, when the above-mentioned relevant calibration steps that transmits error has problems, carry out a material test usually with its correctness of final inspection.Verification is done in such a way that a certain amount of loose unpacked material of normally carrying by batcher exactly on the span section of weighing, the pivot weight of measuring on the large-scale precision batch scale before or after testing definite loose unpacked material weight and testing is compared.Because its manpower expense and Equipment Downtime, the material test is usually as last resort.Secondly, if be not to pay close attention to details when testing, serious potential error might appear.These be included in be transported to scale during material minimizing and moisture loss, owing to flox condition is bad material is stayed in the hopper, and the tare weight of conveying arrangement is considered to owe to work as.
Outside the material test, testing chain has been used as the benchmark load of test gravimetric feeder and conveyor.Because testing chain provides the feasible simulation of the load of the span section of weighing,, they when need scale is recalibrated or repaired so being used to indication.Carrying out having finished initial assembling usually after the material test, testing chain is added by the span section of weighing thus, writes down testing chain with respect to the position of the fixed datum on batcher or the conveyor frame and the weight of record indication.After this periodically check align mode, method is that testing chain is placed on the span section of weighing, and they are collimated to the fixed reference position on batcher or the conveyor frame again and write down new weight readings.Surpass specific tolerance threshold value if testing chain weight readings subsequently departs from, just must recalibrate again with a certain amount of loose unpacked material of weighing in advance of another part.
Conventional system is current not to have the use test chain as directly calibrating or weight basis.Industrial sector is felt unstable result that testing chain produces and to its position sensing on conveying belt usually.Because insecure character of awaring of the chain that position sensing causes test, testing chain only is used as the benchmark on the span section of weighing, and is used to detect the scale changes of properties.The result is, above-mentioned material detection calibration has been the unique method that is used to discern the problem that the span section of weighing with batcher exists.Therefore, although the material detection calibration is inconvenient and the expense height, this kind calibration still is used as preferred calibration steps usually in industrial sector.
Chain test can load with the mode that the is similar to loose unpacked material span section of weighing to gravimetric feeder, but its produces material is loaded the simulation that the belt tension that causes changes.In addition, the chain test has the position instability that can prove significantly.
Therefore, the present invention is the calibration verification system of the relevant issues of a kind of material detection calibration that has overcome above-mentioned routine and pivot weight system.
The invention provides a kind of testing chain with specific chains distance, this specific chains distance is the span spacing of weighing based on the corresponding conveyor or the batcher of testing chain.Gravimetric feeder according to calibration verification system of the present invention has specific structural geometry simultaneously, and this weighing device has the device of compensation belt tension, so that be provided for checking the height system accurately and reliably of the align mode of gravimetric feeder or belt scale.In fact, calibration verification system of the present invention can obtain the reading that is complementary for ± 0.1% testing chain known weight with accuracy, and conventional calibration verification system method has been ignored the actual weight of chain and the current indication weight that records is compared with the indication weight of old record.
The present invention is the calibration verification system that a kind of belt-type gravimetric feeder or conveyor are used, this batcher or conveyor equipped have entrance zone, threshold zone, the belt scale of the span of weighing section and discharging section, in brief, it comprises that a continuous conveying belt, at least one pair of backing roll and at least one are placed in the roller of weighing between them.This conveying has the upper and lower that moves in opposite directions and center on a pair of belt pulley arrangement.Each is placed under this top backing roll and spaced apart border with the span section of weighing that limits conveyor.This span border of weighing distance between the center line of two adjacent backing rolls of the roller or the roller arrangement of weighing that further is defined as directly and weighs.This at least one roller of weighing is positioned under this top, and in the occasion more than the roller of weighing, the geometric center and a pair of backing roll of this roller combination are equidistant.This comprises the roller of the span of weighing, i.e. at least one weigh roller and more than one backing roll are preferably parallel to each other and become rectangular area to collimate and perpendicular to the belt direct of travel.The span section of weighing with independent roller of weighing of gravimetric feeder or conveyor has the span roll spacing of weighing, the latter's preferably equal to weigh half of distance between span section two borders.In multi weighing roller system, the distance between each roller is constant and determines this roll spacing.The space of weighing outward between roller and the adjacent backing roll also by chance is a roll spacing.

Calibration verification system of the present invention is used for a belt-type gravimetric feeder or conveyor device, and the latter has an entrance zone, threshold zone, weigh a span section and a discharging section.This system comprise a continuous conveyor of settling around a pair of belt pulley, two or more be placed in that backing roll below the conveying belt top and one are placed in below this top and with the equidistant roller of weighing of each backing roll.For the preferred embodiment, this system comprises a pair of backing roll and the roller of weighing, and these backing rolls are collimations level and parallel to each other in the plane direction of collimation.This roller of weighing is placed in below this top and is equidistant with each backing roll.Preferably, roller and the backing roll plane collimation each other of weighing.The best collimation parallel to each other of roller of forming the span section of weighing.
In addition, belt support outside on the span of the weighing section both sides and the both sides preferably is made up of the span roll spacing roller far away of weighing in interval, but can use other supporting member such as slider disc or driving belt instead, but they must be settled like this, make the entering angle of the conveying belt by the plane of weighing equate and keep symmetry with receding angle.
Calibration verification system of the present invention is applied to a kind of belt-type batcher or conveyor that is subjected to the error relevant with the test of chain.This system runs into this type of error of testing chain with appropriate designs and the corresponding span section collimation step of weighing.About testing chain, the chain pitch of this testing chain is whole can the branch in the roll spacing of the weighing span section of batcher or conveyor preferably.Weighing span section preferably is divided into the same roll spacing of two equal spans by the weighing roller, and the side chain of testing chain is preferably surveyed side direction and evenly distributed by the span section of weighing.At chain pitch is not that perhaps under opposite extreme situations, the roll spacing of these two spans of weighing is unequal under the integral body situation about can divide, and this calibration verification system can calculate suitable chain pitch and position.Simultaneously, the passing through of this chain its weight of middle part that the span section settles of weighing is uniformly along its length, and known its uncertainty is than 5 to 10 times of the degree of accuracy of relevant weight scale.Simultaneously, this middle part is adjusted like this, makes it almost equal in the weight of the loose unpacked material that will weigh under normal operation.As for batcher or conveyor, the physical dimension of the span of weighing section (being included in a roll spacing of any side of the span of weighing) is adjusted according to calibration verification system, therefore, the present invention provides high degree of accuracy by utilizing preferred testing chain, and guarantees insensitivity to belt tension by making the span section of weighing accept belt tension perturbation analysis and adjustment.
With reference to Fig. 1, provide a typical gravimetric feeder among the figure especially, total represents with label 10.Gravimetric feeder 10 is a kind of band conveyors that can use the specific pattern of calibration verification system of the present invention.Gravimetric feeder 10 expression a kind of to the practical short formula center line of accurately weighing to center line, enter the mouth to the discharge port device, this machine comprises the continuous or round-robin conveying belt 12 of a loop form, this loop has on one band or top 14 and once is with or bottom 16, is used for from hopper 20 to receptacle (as feed bin or stove) 22 delivery of bulk material 18 (as broken coal) continuously.As what see from the skeleton view of Fig. 1, conveying belt 12 is settled around a pair of belt pulley (24,26), and this is to belt pulley 28 driving and conveying belts 12 along clockwise direction.The end that loose unpacked material 18 is preferably in belt top 14 is evenly distributed on the conveying belt 12 and is transported to the other end on top 14, and material is fallen into receiver 22 there.When loose unpacked material 18 is transported to the other end on top 14 of conveying belt 12, the weigh plane 32 of material by comprising in the span of weighing.
When loose unpacked material by the weighing during plane 32 of conveying belt 12, weighing device 30 loose unpacked material 18 of weighing continuously.The border of the planar section of weighing 32 is determined by the position that is placed in two backing rolls (34,36) under conveying belt 12 tops 14.Therefore, the distance of the backing roll that separates (34,36) or span are corresponding to the length of the planar section 32 of weighing.Simultaneously, weighing device 30 comprises one of conveying belt 12 roller 38 of weighing.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, backing roll (34,36) is placed in the opposite sides thereof of the roller 38 of weighing, and wherein each backing roll (34,36) is in the identical or substantially the same surface level with the roll spacing of weighing between the roller 38.Roller 38 by chance is positioned in the middle of the backing roll (34,36) because weigh, so the distance between weigh roller 38 and the arbitrary backing roll (34,36) is corresponding to half of distance between the roll spacing of the planar section of weighing or two backing rolls.
Weighing device 30 comprises the strainmeter force cell 40 of a precision, and the latter has static structure, does not promptly have moving component, and it has water resistance and insensitive to air pressure.Force cell 40 provides a general assembly (TW) signal that is generally the aanalogvoltage form.The gravimetric feeder 10 of the preferred embodiment comprises two substantially the same force cells, near each end of roller 38 of weighing, settle a force cell, wherein two force cells all are connected on the microprocessor, weight of bearing on the roller 38 so that monitoring is weighed and the position of controlling the roller 38 of weighing.
Fig. 2 A and 2B are the more general expressions of the preferred embodiment of Fig. 1.Particularly, Fig. 2 A and 2B concentrate on the geometric aspects of the used band conveyor scale of gravimetric feeder 10, and roll spacing P1, P2, P3 and the P4 of its central span equate.Though be not to be the part on plane 32 of weighing, the backing roll of outside (33,37) preferably is placed in the roll spacing P of the span of weighing of the upstream and downstream on the plane 32 of weighing respectively x=P 1Place, and by such vertical adjusting makes the entering angle of under load-carrying sagging belt 14 and receding angle α equally by the plane 32 of weighing.Backing roll (34,36) is parallel with the roller 38 of weighing, and makes all angle θ all be equal to each other and forms the angles of 90 degree with the direct of travel on the top 14 of conveying belt 12.
With reference to Fig. 3 A and 3B, preferred calibration test equipment comprises a distinguishing testing chain 50 that longitudinally is distributed on conveying belt 12 tops 14, also promptly is divided into entrance zone, threshold zone 52, the span of weighing section 54 and discharging section 56.As shown in Fig. 3 B, testing chain 50 can comprise multiply side chain 66, and they are evenly distributedly by the plane 54 of weighing, to adapt to the bearing capacity in plane 54 work of weighing.The middle section 58 of testing chain 50 extends through the span section 54 of weighing of batcher.The chain pitch 60 of testing chain 50 is corresponding to the distance between the roll center of adjacent chain roller, and the roll spacing 62 of the span of weighing of the span section 54 of weighing is corresponding to half of distance between the center of rotation that is backing roll 34 and 36 of two borders of the span 54 of weighing.Therefore, weigh the roll spacing 62 of span corresponding to from the distance of roller 38 of weighing to one of backing roll (34,36).In addition, for the purpose of economy, the section weight that is arranged in entrance zone, threshold zone 52 and discharging section 56 of testing chain 50 and chain pitch there is no need to resemble accurate control the section that is positioned at weighing platform section 54 58 of testing chain 50.The weight precision of the chain member on the weight platform section 54 must remain on five to ten times of the trueness errors of the relevant weight scale of its error ratio.Because the correlativity between the roll spacing 62 of the chain pitch 60 and the span of weighing, the tolerance build-up of any one group of continuous chain member that comprises in the roll spacing 62 of the span of weighing 54 must keep less than ± 0.01%.In addition, chain 60 tunnel span roll spacing 62 of weighing of span section 54 of must aliquot weighing.
Accurate and the reliable performance of the height of testing chain 50 also derives from the precision that is used for measuring section 58 in the testing chain.For preferred embodiment, 5 to 10 times of the known trueness errors than relevant weight scale of the weight error of middle section 58.In many cases, the gravimetric feeder batcher 10 as shown in fig. 1 precision that transmits loose unpacked materials be better than ± 0.25%.Therefore, for preferred testing chain 50, the weight precision of the middle section 58 of testing chain 50 is known not to be worse than ± and 0.05%.Therefore, the weight of testing chain 50 of the present invention is to measure with the degree of accuracy more much higher than conventional chain, and the increment weight of conventional chain is by the general assembly (TW) of chain is measured divided by its length.
With reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 5, owing to have the step disk and the power wheel of backing roll 33 and 37 (shown in Fig. 3 A) use that replaces the outside, the position of testing chain 50 on conveying belt 12 tops 14 also is important.The testing chain of preferred embodiment is made up of the side chain that reaches stereotyped writing, and per share side chain has 25 rollers.The coal dead weight capacity that the number of side chain can run into usually near (simulation) batcher 10, and the roller number in the per share side chain satisfies the width (for example 36 inches) of the span section 54 of weighing.
The design of other batcher and conveyor may require more or less strand side chain and the chain roller number in the per share side chain.As mentioned above, the weight in stage casing 58 is known is high-precision.On the contrary, for the purpose of economy, the weight of side chain 68 is not controlled in such tolerance outside middle section 58 both sides.Fig. 4 represents the maximum downstream position of testing chain 50 on top 14, and Fig. 5 represents the maximum upstream position of testing chain 50 on top 14.
The some problems that produce when Fig. 6 illustration testing chain extends beyond shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 to greatest extent.The outside 68 of chain 50 is positioned at weighs above the span section 54, the precision of the calibration verification system of therefore having traded off.Simultaneously, the outer roller number that is placed in span section 54 upstreams of weighing may become and can not cover the upstream belt by the equivalent that will introduce the weighing platform roll spacing of cantilever error very little.The cantilever error is because the following former thereby inaccuracy (biased error) that produces, and this reason is the variation that the load effect on the conveying belt 12 of span section 54 either sides of weighing that the rigidity by conveying belt 12 causes causes entering angle and receding angle α.In addition, the downstream part that is suspended on the belt pulley 26 of testing chain 50 can tensioning testing chain 50, the load thereby influence is weighed on the span section 54.
Cantilever error as the direct result of belt rigidity can reduce to minimum owing to some aspect.Testing chain 50 should stride across gap between downstream backing roll 36 shown in Fig. 4 to Fig. 6 and the power wheel 26 or the gap between downstream backing roll 36 shown in Fig. 2 A, 2B, 3A and the 3B and the backing roll 37 and reach and be not more than ± tolerance of 1 chain pitch.Kindred circumstances also is applicable to the upstream, particularly when the front of upstream backing roll 34 is step disk but not backing roll 33.When using step disk to replace backing roll 33, the correct height of dish is most important.Therefore, for fear of the cantilever error, the entrance zone, threshold zone 52 on the top 14 of conveying belt 12 and discharging section 56 must reproduce entering angle and receding angle α, so that keep symmetry on each backing roll 34 and 36.This angle [alpha] is the function of belt stretch-draw amount of deflection and load size.
With reference to Fig. 7, also consider the variation scheme of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.In Fig. 7, can be at the roller of settling between the backing roll more than 38 and connecting on force cell of weighing.
With reference to Fig. 8, the calibration verification system of preferred embodiment also comprises the perturbation analysis device that is connected on the roller opposite ends of weighing, and is used to measure the optimum height of roller of weighing.This disturbance device provides the solution of roller swing (beat) problem.The roller that herein schematically illustrates can or backing roll 34 and 36 or the roller 38 of weighing.When swing appears in roller, just can not correctly adjust the height of the roller of weighing.This problem is that the span of weighing section is corresponding to the average rotating surface of all rollers.Therefore, even the center of axle is when being in sustained height, also may crooked (crooked) by the span section of weighing that backing roll (34,36) forms.
Fig. 8 represents the roller 200 of an inhomogeneous outside surface 204 that has center of rotation 202 and amplify.Illustrate average rotating surface (" MSR ") between outermost swing surface 208 and interior swing surface 210.When utilizing a straight bar test collimation of crossing over that backing roll 34 and 36 settles, the swing of roller will be introduced a height error, and its value is contact point and the average difference between the rotating surface MSR between this straight bar and the roller.Point 1 among Fig. 8 will make straight bar settle to such an extent that be higher than average rotating surface MSR, and turn to the top as fruit dot 2, and it will make straight bar be lower than average rotating surface MSR.Three rollers of because weigh in the span section all can both be swung, so people can see that the average rotating surface MSR of the roller 38 of weighing is not positioned at by the possibility on the plane of the average rotating surface MSR establishment of backing roll 34 and 36 very high.In addition, the average swing of each roller be difficult to be measured, because be difficult to touch mounted roller, has only the outward flange of roller can be for measurement usually.Simultaneously, roller (usually in radial zone of point 1) in measured zone may not show swing, and may swing occur elsewhere as at point 3 places.Then the problem that the people faced of any one span section of determining to weigh be average rotating surface MSR side direction with all three rollers be collimated to ± 0.001% margin tolerance in.This perturbation motion method that can utilize the present invention to illustrate is finished.
This disturbance device comprises that one is used for being used to detect and analyze the loaded span section of weighing at device, one that the belt stretch-draw of conveying belt 12 produces step change and the device of the response of step change and one is used for the device of roller height control in the given margin tolerance of weighing.For preferred embodiment, this disturbance device is included in any one that produces in the belt stretch-draw at least 10% Several Methods that changes.This can take the form of gaining in weight on straining pulley shown in Figure 1 212, perhaps utilize the belt tension adjuster of also representing in Fig. 1 214 to change the lengthwise position of batcher or conveyor guide wheel 24 simply.The pick-up unit of the preferred embodiment comprises that first and second force cells 40 that are connected on the roller two ends of weighing and one are connected in the processor of the roller height control that is used on first and second force cells to determine to weigh, and this height control can utilize a tiny pitch adjusting gear to finish.Simultaneously, the device that is used for analytical applications disturbance device result this end which end of roller requires height control and this adjustment whether must increase or reduce the roller of weighing of can determining to weigh.
Weigh during the plane when the load of roller 38 owing to coal or chain of weighing is drawn out by the average rotating surface MSR of backing roll 34 and 36 is determined, it is responsive that 54 pairs of belt tensions of the span of weighing section become.Usually, the weight that is evenly distributed in the loose unpacked material on the span section 54 of weighing causes the deflection D of the roller 38 of weighing and produces one recovers reacting force R, and the latter is making a concerted effort of belt tension T.Suppose that belt 12 is not sagging between two rollers, following analysis is a kind of simplification, but is enough to represent the error source that caused by belt tension.At first, for little deflection (θ≤10 °), tan θ approximates sin θ greatly, and wherein θ is the angle that is formed by deflection D, and P is the distance between deflection roll and the backing roll not.Because this geometric relationship, D/P is tan θ, and because deflection is little deflection, so θ approximates D/P greatly.But R is and the opposed side of θ, so R=Tsin θ or R=TD/P or R=2TD/P in fact, because two roll spacing sections are arranged in the plane of weighing.Reacting force R records as biased error by force cell 40, and the latter takes off the row form: ϵ = - R W = 2 * T * D ω * P 2 ε is the error ratio that R produces in the formula, and D and T make a concerted effort;
P is the roller square of span of weighing;
W is half the weight of span section of weighing;
ω is the weight gradient on the span section of weighing;
D is the displacement that the deflection of force cell under load produces;
R is again the reacting force that produces owing to D, and because it reduces W but negative.
Importantly to remember, reacting force be proportional to belt tension and be inversely proportional to the span roll spacing of weighing square.Therefore, the deflection D of force cell 40 produces an error that changes with the changing value of belt tension, so it is the error of repeatability or precision, this error is to be not easy to calibrate outside the span section of weighing of gravimetric feeder or conveyor.
Because the variation of belt tension is inevitably and causes reproducibility error usually, this kind susceptibility must be reduced to minimum.This can be by selecting a calibration weight that is equivalent to coal weight on the span to reach to each independent installation.This calibration weight value should select to be equivalent to the average density of user's coal.Therefore span and coal export cross section must be known or derive.Correct calibration weight is calculated as follows:
In the occasion of using two calibration weights, each weight is equivalent to half that calculates weight.
Then, the installation calibrating weight calculated above of utilization is finished disturbance.By the weigh height of roller 38 of the output adjustment of utilizing above-mentioned sensing and analytical equipment, the roller of weighing will be settled like this, make the roller of weighing when the carrier band coal is loaded that the susceptibility of minimum be arranged belt tension.
