Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining the speed of a mass flow from powdery / granular bulk material in a line.
- the invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
- DE 4025 952 AI describes the measurement of the flow velocity of fine-grained bulk materials in a pneumatic or hydraulic suspension by means of a contactless measurement using capacitive sensors.
- Two sensor electrodes are spatially opposite a sensor electrode on the outside of a measuring tube, an AC voltage being applied in phase opposition to the sensor electrodes. Downstream or upstream thereof, two transmitter electrodes and a sensor electrode are again provided, with the feed being carried out at a different frequency.
- Statistical fluctuations are recorded using phase-sensitive rectifiers and signal processing by means of cross-correlation, and the flow velocity is deduced from these.
- a similar measuring arrangement with 'two pairs of electrodes is known from DE 39 09 177 AI.
- statistical fluctuations of the mass flow here coal dust, are recorded and evaluated after high signal amplification with the aid of phase-sensitive rectifiers and a delay time correlator.
- a measuring arrangement described in WO 01/65212 A1 uses two spaced-apart, ring-shaped capacitance sensors, each surrounding a flow tube, with at least three electrodes each. Flow parameters are obtained by recording changes in capacitance at the two sensors and cross-correlation.
- a disadvantage of these known measurement methods is the high outlay for signal evaluation, which is often caused by only very small fluctuation signals, in particular if the method is to be used under actual industrial conditions.
- DE 3049 019 AI describes a method in which the bulk material is fluidized and two from a marking impressed on the bulk material (for example an air pulse impressed by a valve) via two electrodes which are located at the beginning and at the end of a predetermined distance Signals are derived, the time interval is determined. Apart from the fact that this process requires fluidization of the bulk material, This method requires the use of two electrodes at different locations, both of which are different from the level at which the disturbance is introduced.
- An object of the invention is to provide a method and a measuring arrangement which are suitable for practical use and which provide reliable measurement results even in a difficult environment.
- the number of measured values per unit of time should be large enough to be able to detect changes in the transport speed of the mass flow quickly enough.
- the invention makes use of the fact that the introduced disturbances - in contrast to random occurring disturbances - are well known both with regard to the location and the point in time of their occurrence, as a result of which the measurement and evaluation is considerably simpler than when based on statistical disturbances. Measurement is even possible without using correlation methods.
- the application of electrodes at several points is not necessary (measuring several points can, of course, provide greater accuracy), since the signal is always evaluated in relation to the fault location and not with regard to the difference between two measuring points ,
- the disturbances introduced influence the complex conductivity of the mass flow and this with the aid of the electrode means and the evaluation circuit is determined at the at least one measuring point, since methods and devices which have been tried and tested are available to the person skilled in the art for measuring the complex conductivity.
- a medium is introduced into the mass flow at the point of failure, the conductivity of which differs markedly from that of the bulk material or that the introduced disturbances lead to a local change in the dielectric constant of the mass flow.
- an electrical interference field strength is generated at the at least one fault location.
- the field strength can be chosen so large that periodic discharges occur.
- the frequency of the AC measurement voltage is in the range from 10 6 to 10 9 Hz, since the measurements can be carried out with good accuracy and without too much effort in this range.
- a device for carrying out the method according to the invention cited above with its variants, which is characterized by a measuring section of a line in which a device for introducing periodic disturbances influencing the electrical properties of the mass flow and downstream of the fault point is installed at at least one fault point At least one measuring point is provided with an electrode means, which is connected to an evaluation circuit.
- an electrode means is provided at at least two measuring points that are spaced apart in the flow direction.
- the electrode means should have a pair of electrodes.
- a further refinement of the measurement can result if the electrode means of each measuring point has at least two pairs of electrodes.
- an electrode of the electrode means is formed by the line wall or a section of the line wall.
- a recommended variant provides that a separate evaluation circuit is provided for the electrode means of each measuring point.
- electrode pairs from different measuring points are connected in parallel and connected to a common evaluation circuit.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic section similar to FIG. 1b, supplementing a measuring arrangement according to the invention
- La, b shows a measuring section of a line LTG, which is made of plastic, for example, and through which a mass flow in the direction of arrow F takes place. It can be z. B. are granular or powdery material that is suspended in air or other gas is promoted. Examples are grain, flour, coal dust, cement, etc.
- a disturbance can be introduced into the mass flow that influences or changes the electrical properties of the mass flow.
- water can be injected into the mass flow using nozzles D1 ... D3, for example. This is possible, for example, in a concrete mixing plant to which cement dust is supplied by compressed air.
- the conveying speed and, via the known or to be determined mass density of the conveying flow, the mass flow per unit of time are to be recorded.
- the injection of water which may be slightly acidified, leads to a strong local increase in conductivity.
- measuring electrodes ME1 ... ME6 are arranged at a measuring point MST on the circumference of the tubular line 1 in this example, e.g. B. glued to the outside of the pipe 1.
- the measuring electrodes ME1 ... ME6 can be interconnected in different ways, it being essential that the displacement current is measured through a capacitor with the aid of an evaluation or measuring device and the dielectric of which is at least partly the mass flow in the pipeline. It is understood that in the simplest case two electrodes, i. H. one pair of electrodes is sufficient at the measuring point.
- the tube wall can form an electrode and one or more electrodes must then be suitably insulated from the metallic tube and with the tube as a counter electrode can work together.
- a possible evaluation circuit for the method according to the invention is described below with reference to FIG. 3.
- a generator GEN supplies a high-frequency transmission signal S g for feeding the electrodes ME1 ... ME6 and possibly also clock signals sat, s S i, s e ; which are used in the manner described later to trigger switching operations be used.
- the clock signals mentioned can be generated in a clock preparation TAB on the basis of a time clock s c supplied by the generator GEN.
- a reception circuit REV is provided, which contains a filter FIL and a demodulator DEM and possibly an amplifier AMP and which delivers an output signal s a which, after appropriate processing , delivers the speed of the mass flow.
- Controlled switches Ei, Si, ..., E ⁇ , S ⁇ allow receiving and transmitting electrodes to be controlled, ie selected, from the six electrodes ME1 ... ME6.
- the controlled switches Et, Si are driven by the clock signals s S i and Sei, the signals s S i and s e i having complementary values, ie being inverted with respect to one another, so that each switch Si is switched on and the associated switch Ei is switched off, and can either be sent or received at an electrode MEi.
- FIG. 3 it can be seen that in the case of transmission the transmission signal s g is applied directly to an electrode MEi, whereas in the case of reception the signal s e i received at the electrode is switched through to the reception circuit REV.
- the disturbance introduced at the disturbance point SST is carried away by the speed of the conveyed material flow and also experiences a theological decay according to the speed profile prevailing in the pipe.
- the field strength arrows emanating from the (transmitting) electrode MEl change due to the influence of the disturbance. For example, a higher potential will be available at the (receiving) electrode ME2 than in undisturbed state, whereas the measured potential at the (receiving) electrode ME6 will be smaller. Because of the high dielectric constant of the disturbance in the present case, fewer field lines go from the (transmitting) electrode ME1 to the (receiving) electrode ME6, because due to the anisotropy that arises, more field lines with preferential direction go to the (receiving) electrode ME2. With reference to FIGS.
- FIG. 6 shows a block diagram to facilitate understanding of the method according to the invention.
- “jamming vibrators” are used to denote the nozzles, but in general it is possible to introduce disturbances that influence the electrical properties of the mass flow. For example, electrical discharges can also be involved.
- the weighted center of gravity results in the mean transport speed at which the speed profile in line 1 is taken into account.
- the latter is also calculated in the evaluation circuit for speed profile shown in FIG. 6, the filtered and amplified demodulated received signals of the electrodes on the one hand and the counter reading on the other hand being supplied to the evaluation circuit as input variables.
- the counter is reset when the potential values of the receiving electrodes fall back to the level of the undisturbed distribution.
- the timing is dimensioned that shortly afterwards the control signal for the nozzle D2 will appear and this nozzle will inject.
- the nozzle D2 is actuated at the time ts, it injects the disturbance into the flow of material to be conveyed, and at the same time the counter is started and the electrode ME5 is switched to “send”, all other electrodes being switched to “received” at the same time , This has already been explained in connection with the electrode in the EL which acts as the transmitting electrode. The disturbance will spread again and it will be measured again in the manner described above.
- the signals s e i of the measuring electrodes which are fed to the evaluation circuit for the speed profile, can have a profile as in FIG. 7 when the measuring electrode ME1 is used as the transmitting electrode.
- the ordinate shows the signal curve of the received voltage signal after the receiving circuit REV as a function of the counter reading.
- the highest signal level is palpable at the measuring electrode ME2 - a disturbance at the edge of the pipe has a particularly large influence on the received signal.
- the largest information about the entire cross-section is obtained at the measuring electrode ME4 (opposite electrode of the transmitting electrode) - even faster transported particles in the middle of the tube are in this arrangement between the transmitting and receiving electrodes and thus influence the received signal in the event of a fault.
- the reception signals are centered.
- the counter reading is a measure of when the fault occurs in the measuring point the time in which the fault has moved the defined distance (do).
- Averaging center of gravity
- Fig. 8 shows such a center of gravity using the measuring electrode ME2 as an example.
- the distance traveled dO per time value tm gives the average transport speed.
