In the operation of power station boilers, dome valves, as an important material conveying control equipment, are widely used in the conveying systems of dusty materials such as coal powder, cement, and ore. As the key detection element of the dome valve, the magnetic proximity limit switch A1011 is responsible for monitoring the position status of the valve to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the system. However, in practical applications, harsh environmental conditions such as coal powder accumulation will have a significant impact on the detection accuracy of the magnetic proximity limit switch. This article will deeply analyze the influence mechanism of coal powder accumulation on the detection accuracy of the A1011 magnetic proximity limit switch and explore the corresponding solutions.

Working principle of magnetic proximity limit switch A1011

The magnetic proximity limit switch A1011 mainly uses magnetic field changes to detect the position of objects. When a magnetic object approaches the switch, the magnetic field changes, and the sensor inside the switch senses this change, thereby outputting the corresponding electrical signal. Due to its non-contact detection characteristics, the magnetic proximity switch has high reliability and anti-interference ability, and can work stably in harsh environments.

Influence of coal powder accumulation on the detection accuracy of the limit switch

In the coal powder conveying system, coal powder accumulation is an inevitable phenomenon. Ferromagnetic substances (such as Fe3O4) in coal powder will interfere with the magnetic field, thereby affecting the detection accuracy of the dome valve limit switch A1011. The specific impact is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Magnetic field interference:

Ferromagnetic substances in coal powder will change the magnetic field distribution, resulting in changes in the induction magnetic field strength of the switch. Accumulated coal powder may form a magnetic field shielding effect, weakening the induction ability of the switch.

2. Signal distortion:

Coal powder accumulation may cause distortion of the output signal of the limit switch A1011, resulting in false triggering or missed triggering. Signal drift is another phenomenon that will cause the switch to output unstable signals without external force.

3. Physical interference:

Coal powder accumulation may block the sensing area of ​​the limit switch, hinder the normal approach of magnetic objects, and affect the detection accuracy. Long-term accumulation of coal powder may also cause wear on the mechanical parts of the switch and reduce its service life.

4. Environmental coupling effect:

Coal powder accumulation may couple with factors such as environmental humidity, exacerbating the impact on the detection accuracy of the switch. Wet coal powder is more likely to adhere to the switch surface, forming a conductive path and interfering with the transmission of electrical signals.

Suggested Solution

The following solutions can be adopted to address the impact of coal powder accumulation on the detection accuracy of magnetic proximity A1011:

1. Structural optimization:

Optimize the structural design of the switch to reduce the area where coal powder accumulates. Use dust-proof and waterproof sealing design to improve the protection level of the switch.

2. Material upgrade:

Select wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to improve the adaptability of the switch in harsh environments. Use shielding materials that resist magnetic interference to reduce the impact of ferromagnetic substances in coal powder on the magnetic field.

3. Intelligent diagnostic technology:

Introduce intelligent diagnostic technology to monitor the output signal of the high precision limit switch A1011 in real time and detect abnormal conditions such as signal distortion or drift in time. Use artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze the influence of coal powder accumulation on the detection accuracy of the switch and realize predictive maintenance.

4. Regular maintenance:

Develop a reasonable maintenance plan and regularly clean the coal powder accumulation on the switch surface. Check the mechanical parts of the switch and replace worn parts in time.

In a coal powder conveying system, due to coal powder accumulation, the magnetic limit switch A1011 frequently triggered by mistake and missed triggering, resulting in unstable system operation. By adopting solutions of structural optimization and material upgrade, and introducing intelligent diagnosis technology, the detection accuracy and reliability of the switch are effectively improved. The improved system operates stably and the failure rate is significantly reduced.

Coal powder accumulation will have a significant impact on the detection accuracy of the dome valve limit switch A1011. Through measures such as structural optimization, material upgrade, intelligent diagnosis technology and regular maintenance, the detection accuracy and reliability of the switch in the coal powder accumulation environment can be effectively improved.
