The specific embodiment
Be elaborated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing specific embodiments of the invention.Should be understood that the specific embodiment described herein only is used for explanation and explains the present invention, is not limited to the present invention.
In silo structure, especially in large-scale silo structure, a plurality of feeders that are used for discharging can be set at the bottom of the storehouse, so that improve maximum unloading performance, and help to realize the material level balance.The quantity and the arrangement form of feeder at the bottom of the storehouse of feeder wherein, can be set according to the factors such as restriction of size, unloading performance demand and the discharge rate of size and shape, feeder at the bottom of the storehouse.
For silo structure with feeder at the bottom of a plurality of storehouses; It can better solve the material level equilibrium problem of silo with respect to the small-sized silo that has only a feeder; But consider the factor such as shape, quality, size of the material of storage; When discharging, may occur various situations (such as since feeder degree of opening deficiency result in blockage etc.), and discharge process is produced the influence that can not estimate, and probably can cause the material overbalance.Based on this, the present invention proposes the method and system that further silo that at the bottom of the storehouse, has a plurality of feeders is carried out the material level balance control.
A kind of exemplary silo has been shown among Fig. 1.Wherein this silo 110 has a plurality of feeders 130 at the bottom of the storehouse, and the material in the silo 110 can pour on the belt feeder 150 through feeder 130, and is transported to assigned address through belt feeder 150.In the present invention; In order to realize that the material level in the silo 110 is detected and controls, also some accessory devices possibly are set, these devices can be used as the part of material balance control system proposed by the invention; Such as level-sensing device 120 and belt conveyer scale 140 etc., hereinafter will be described in detail.
