1.2External conveying equipment for aggregate scales1) 1 belt conveyor outside the scale (4.5kW), synchronously unloading with the aggregate scale (delayed closing);2) 1 winch (4.5kW) – buffer bucket lifting drive, the winch frame equipment is equipped with up and down travel switches;Piece1BincenPLC controls the lifting/lowering of the external belt conveyor and winch buffer bucket of the scale; The lifting travel switch on the winch frame is sent to the PLC control cabinet, and the hardware automatically constrains the lifting control of the winch;
1.3Cement scale control2 spiral 5.5kW feed (using 2 spiral controls and backup 1 spiral control); Scale unloading adopts: pneumatic unloading with pneumatic vibration;Set1CustomizedPLC control: 2-screw feeding; Scale bucket 1 pneumatic discharge; The weighing hopper contains pneumatic vibration control (synchronized with the unloading of the scale).Excluding feeding and unloading actuators.Top of cement silo: including top dust collector (manual); Bottom of cement silo: including pneumatic arch breaking (manual)
1.4Water metering and controlWater metering and control method: DN32 electromagnetic flowmeter+pump and valve controlSet 1CustomizedUsing electromagnetic flow meters for water intake control; Excluding pumps and valves; DN32 electromagnetic flowmeter: 1 unit (DN32, AC220V power supply, 4-20mA, RS485 MODBUS, ± 0.5% level).
1.5Additive feed controlAdditive measurement and control method: using peristaltic pump+PLC external start control.Set1CustomizedAdditive measurement and control method: using peristaltic pump+PLC external start control. The PLC system outputs an external start control signal (relay passive contact pulse signal) to start the peristaltic pump. The peristaltic pump adopts a timed control method to feed the admixture to the mixer, and the peristaltic pump automatically stops when the feeding time is up. The required dose is manually indicated and operated by the external peristaltic pump equipment itself
1.6Mixer controlCylinder door dischargeSet1CustomizedPLC control reference logic:1) The mixer has no material, allowing the scale to unload the material; After the scale is unloaded to the mixer, it is placed in a concrete state;2) After the unloading of the 2 scales is completed, and the water and additives are added, start stirring at a fixed time. When the stirring time is up, let it mix well;3) After mixing, it is allowed to unload the concrete;4) Mixer discharge: automatic/manual selection
