Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of quantitative blanking, in particular to a controller of a straight-falling type multi-component material blanking device.
Background
In industrial and agricultural manufacturing and commodity packaging, a large amount of powder materials, such as iron-making raw materials including iron ore concentrate, coal powder and the like, chemical raw materials including polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, light methyl cellulose, polyacrylonitrile, epoxy resin powder coating and the like, building material raw materials including quartz sand, cement and the like, daily chemical products including washing powder and the like, grain and bean agricultural products including millet, soybean and the like, or agricultural production materials including powder, slag and granular processed food, feed, chemical fertilizer, pesticide and the like, and granular health care products, Chinese and western medicaments, seasonings and the like need to be automatically quantitatively packaged or prepared by batching.
At present, many enterprises in China still adopt manual quantitative batching or packaging, so that on one hand, the labor intensity is high, the speed is low, and the economic benefit is poor; on the other hand, manual quantification of food, medicine and the like often cannot meet the sanitary requirements, toxic and harmful materials are used, and manual quantification is easy to cause harm to human bodies. Therefore, for the manufacturing enterprises, it is urgently needed to provide a cheap multi-component automatic quantitative blanking device or device with higher speed and accuracy, so as to meet the requirements of quantitative packaging of a large amount of materials or manufacturing of ingredients.
At present, two common methods, namely a positive displacement type and a weighing type, are adopted for automatic quantitative powder material feeding devices at home and abroad. The volumetric quantification is used for metering filling or feeding according to the volume of the material, the quantitative feeding is rapid, but the quality of the quantified material is changed by the change of the density of the material. For example, in chinese patent No. 200920248298.2, the influence of the fall of the feed is reduced by a method of first speed and then slow speed in consideration of the difficulty in controlling the quantitative rate during fast blanking, but the final value of blanking is only close to a desired value, and the accuracy is not high.

In order to compensate the interference of the materials in the air to the metering precision, a technology of closing a valve in advance is adopted in many schemes, for example, a Chinese patent with the application number of 201410230888.8 divides a material proportioning and weighing process into three stages, and an iterative learning control mode is adopted in the last stage to calculate the closing advanced control quantity, but the scheme can only improve the blanking precision after the learning is finished, and the accumulated blanking precision in the learning process cannot be guaranteed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the change of impact of level drop and falling speed on a weighing hopper during the falling of a material at an initial speed v0Falls from the blanking valve 2, the distance between the outlet of the blanking valve 2 and the bottom of the measuring hopper 3 is H, and the blanking position is along with the material level H in the measuring hopper2Increase of (2), air drop h1It will be smaller.
The mass equivalent change of the material in the hopper can be represented by the following formula:
Figure BSA0000189811620000071
wherein at the time t, dm is the blanking mass (g/s) per unit time at the outlet of the blanking valve 2, v0The initial velocity of the material as it falls, the velocity of the material at Δ m as it falls into the weighing hopper, is determined from the velocity v over the time Δ t1Becomes 0.
As can be seen from the formula (1)Head of falling in the air h1The impact of the material on the weighing hopper also changes, so that the weight change of the weighing hopper changes with time.
On the other hand, the blanking mass equivalent per unit time in the formula (1) is also influenced by the shape distribution of the materials in the blanking bin 1.
The granular materials flow out of the feed bin under the action of gravity mainly in two types of bulk flow and central flow. The whole particle layer in the overall flow type middle storage bin can flow out approximately uniformly, and basically every particle moves; while some particles in the flow pattern of the core stream are stationary, there is a flow channel boundary between the flowing and stationary particles. The integral blanking rate of the integral flow is larger than that of the central flow, the fluctuation of the blanking rate is small, and the flow is stable.
In the actual production process, the materials in the bin are difficult to completely meet the integral flow condition, the interior of the bin is often provided with blocks which have certain viscosity and contain certain moisture besides uniform granular components, the effects of the bulk coupling effect, the compaction effect, static electricity and internal friction force of the materials under the condition can become very obvious, and the central flow pattern of the materials in the bin is easy to appear, so that the materials are firm and plate-formed under the compaction stress effect generated by bin pressure when the material port begins to unload the materials.
Therefore, as shown in the combination of 4, 5 and 6, the invention adopts the distance sensor and the manipulator-shaped stirrer to detect and regulate the material accumulation form in the blanking bin, so that the dynamic material arch is alternately formed and collapsed above the blanking opening, the blanking form is ensured to be a stable integral flow type, and the fluctuation of the blanking flow rate of the blanking bin is greatly reduced.
As shown in FIG. 4, the discharging bin 1 continuously discharges materials, and when the material level in the bin is reduced to a certain value, the materials need to be supplemented. For this purpose, a storage bin 10 is arranged above the lower bin 1, and the material in the storage bin 10 is fed into the lower bin 1 through a feed pump 11 and a feed pipe 15. In order to uniformly feed material particles, a material spray nozzle 16 is arranged at an outlet at the tail end of the feeding pipe 15, the surface of the material spray nozzle 16 is in a spherical shape, round small holes 17 are distributed on the surface of the material spray nozzle, and the aperture of each small hole is optimized according to the granularity of the material.
Preferably, the feed pump 11 is a screw conveyor, and the operation thereof is controlled by a controller.
The material level in the lower storage bin 1 is detected by two small-cone-angle distance sensors 18 mounted on the side walls of the lower storage bin, and as the center D of the material spray head 16 and the feed opening B of the lower storage bin 1 are generally not on a vertical line, the two distance sensors 18 are arranged eccentrically, and the two high and low distance sensors P, Q respectively indicate a preset material level high point C and a preset material level low point A in the lower storage bin, wherein C, A and D, B are respectively on the same vertical line. In the blanking process of the blanking bin 1, along with the reduction of the material level 19, when the distance detected by the distance sensor Q is greater than the distance corresponding to QA, the controller commands the feeding pump 11 to act to start feeding to the blanking bin 1; then, the level is raised, and when the distance detected by the distance sensor P is smaller than the distance corresponding to the PC, the controller commands the feed pump 11 to act, and stops feeding to the lower silo 1.
Preferably, bases capable of adjusting the vertical inclination angle can be additionally arranged on the two distance sensors, so that the material layer distribution in the blanking bin can be detected with higher resolution.
Preferably, when two distance sensors are not enough to detect all material hardening due to the difference of the size and the shape of different blanking silos 1, the number of the distance sensors can be increased and the distance sensors can be pointed to different material layer heights.
As shown in fig. 5, the present invention improves the distribution of the materials by installing a stirrer 12 on the sidewall of the lower silo 1. The mixer 12 includes a base 121, two arms 122, an arm rotating shaft 123 connecting the two arms, a claw rotating shaft 124, and a claw 125, which are connected in sequence, wherein the base 121 also includes a rotating shaft.
In the blanking process, the distribution of the materials in the blanking bin is judged by respectively detecting the distance sensor and tracking the blanking rate in unit time, so that the material surface in the blanking bin keeps an approximate parabolic shape. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the arrangement of the distance sensors is optimized so that when the materials are uniformly distributed, the distances between the materials detected by the distance sensors P and Q are within a certain proportion range. When the materials are locally hardened or stably arched, the reading of the distance sensor exceeds the range, and if the materials are detected in a certain distance, P and Q are not detected, the local abnormity occurs. Meanwhile, the feeding speed of each feeding bin is tracked in real time through the weighing module. When the distance sensor detects the abnormal state or finds that the fluctuation of the blanking amount per unit time exceeds a set threshold value, such as 5 percent, the controller commands the stirrer to act, and the claw of the stirrer starts to spirally turn over from the starting point to the low point region of the material level from the high point region of the material level through the rotation of the rotating shaft, so that hardening or material arch which is occasionally formed is broken, the material returns to flow, and the laminar flow state of the whole flow is maintained.
As shown in figure 6, the invention greatly weakens the compaction force action generated by charging impact and the like through the detection and action coordination of the distance sensor and the stirrer, effectively prevents the granularity segregation of the materials in the bin, activates the materials in the lower bin and improves the flow of the materials. During the continuous feeding and discharging process, all the particles flow orderly, and the particle group presents a laminar flow state of the whole flow along with the outflow of the particles in the bin.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 7, it can be seen from the formula (1) that the material falls in the air h1The impact of the material on the weighing hopper is changed, so that the weight increase value of the weighing module in unit time is changed. As shown in FIG. 7, in order to reduce the influence of the change of the air fall, the invention arranges a distributor 20 on the upper part of the weighing hopper 3, and the distributor 20 is an hourglass-shaped distributor with the upper part being a cone and the lower part being a flattened cone structure; wherein the upper part is in an opening shape and receives the materials in the blanking bin; the lower part is symmetrically provided with slope-shaped nozzles 21 only at both ends in the length direction. The measuring hopper 3 is distributed with staggered spherical crown-shaped bulges 22 in the direction facing the nozzle 21, and the diameter of the bulges is preferably 0.2-0.6 mm or 2-3 times of the diameter of the fallen materials.
Through the action of the distributor, the falling of the materials is divided into two stages, the first stage is that the materials fall to the distributor from a discharging valve port at the bottom opening of the discharging bin, and the second stage is that the materials are stacked from a nozzle of the distributor to the weighing hopper. In the second stage, due to the action of the staggered and distributed bulges on the distributor and the measuring hopper wall, the speed of the material particles impacting the material surface in the measuring hopper is greatly reduced, and the impact force difference from the distributor nozzle to the material pile surfaces with different heights in the measuring hopper is very small, so that conditions are provided for iterative prediction of the controller.
The controller of the invention adopts the following steps to control the blanking:
(1) determining the primary blanking amount Ws of each component according to the primary amount and the proportion of each formula, and assigning an initial value 0 to the accumulated blanking error E of each component; setting the current component as a first component;
(2) feeding the current components, reading the sensing value of the weighing module by the controller, recording the initial weight G0 of the weighing hopper, and controlling the feeding valve to start feeding;
(3) when the weight of the measuring hopper is detected to reach (G0+ Ws-Wa), closing the blanking valve;
(4) waiting for the materials to completely fall to the weighing hopper, reading a sensing value of the weighing module, obtaining the current actual blanking amount Wr, and calculating the blanking error e to be Wr-Ws;
(5) updating the accumulated blanking error E ' ═ E + E, and calculating an empty space predicted value Wa ' ═ Wa + (alpha E + beta E '), wherein alpha and beta are respectively iteration coefficients of an interval (0, 1) and alpha + beta is 1;
(6) iteration, namely E is equal to E ', Wa is equal to Wa', and preparation is carried out for next blanking;
(7) replacing the blanking components, if the blanking of all the components is finished, turning to the next step, otherwise, turning to the step 2;
(8) opening a blanking valve to enable the materials with the primary formula amount consisting of the multi-component materials to fall into a mixing hopper, reading the state of a material level sensor, controlling a mixer to rotate and stir if the detected material level exceeds a set threshold value, opening a push plate after uniformly mixing the multi-component materials, and outputting the mixed materials from a material conveying pipe;
(9) if the preset blanking batch is finished, finishing blanking; otherwise, the component is set as the first component, and step 2 is carried out.
During the blanking period, the controller also carries out real-time detection on the material pile shape in the blanking bin through calculation and analysis of signals of the distance sensor and the weighing module, and if abnormal blanking is found, the controller commands the mechanical hand-shaped stirrer to act in time to ensure the flow state of the whole flow layer during the blanking.
Before continuous blanking, the following operations are carried out:
(i) calibrating the weighing module and the distance sensor through an off-line experiment;
(ii) setting parameters including a time length Tb and the repetition times of calibration of a batch value, a formula table, a batch value, a blanking rate and a stable weighing delay Ts through a touch screen of a controller;
(iii) carrying out blanking calibration on the components: opening the blanking valve for a certain time Tb from the time 0, and respectively reading and recording the weight values Wcb and Wdb of the weighing module at the time of closing the blanking valve Tb and the time of Tb + Ts after weighing is stable; after repeated for many times, the feeding rate PD of the component is AVG (Wdb/Tb), and the initial value Wa of the empty space amount is AVG (Wdb-Wcb).
The device is used for blanking, and the blanking result is shown in figures 8-10. Fig. 8 is a schematic view showing distribution of materials in the hopper when discharging 4 components. Fig. 9 is a graph showing the change of the reading of the weighing module during the falling of a material in a time of 2500ms, wherein the abscissa is the delay time after closing the discharge valve. It can be seen that due to the impact force, the weighing reading will overshoot, and then return to the actual weight; and, the material in the air only falls into the weighing hopper completely after the blanking valve is closed for about 800ms, and the reading of the weighing module tends to be stable.
Fig. 10 is a statistic of the blanking errors of the single-component materials in the blanking process of the device, and it can be seen from the figure that not only the blanking error can approach 0, but also the accumulated error is already converged after multiple times of blanking because the factors of the accumulated error are considered in the iterative prediction. Therefore, compared with other iterative learning, the device does not need to discard materials in the iterative learning process, but can be directly applied to subsequent production, so that the device is suitable for small-batch quick batching and blanking.
The above-described embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the above-described embodiments should be included in the protection scope of the technical solution.
