Then, as Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 2, driving mechanism 22 is installed in the carbon power pot 12, and driving mechanism 22 includes an active rotation part 36 and an actuator 38.Active rotation part 36 rotatably is arranged in the carbon power pot 12, active rotation part 36 preferably is a transmission rotational axis, can be the generally common mechanical drive mode of the rotation start of active rotation part 36 drives, so that they can be with respect to carbon power pot 12 rotations, as the mode that drives with motor, but not limit by this; Actuator 38 is connected on the active rotation part 36, as shown in Figure 1, actuator 38 preferably is a cam, actuator 38 is used in being connected to driven member 34 and driving driven member 34 so that turning axle 28 rotations are used driving covering 30 and stopped the light that light emission portion 24 sends or allow light to be incident to light acceptance division 26 and 32 rotations of driving rocking arm when active rotation part 36 relative carbon power pots 12 rotate; In addition, be formed with a helicoidal structure 40 on the driving mechanism 22, helicoidal structure 40 can rotate along with the rotation of active rotation part 36, uses drive and moves to enter in the carbon power pot 12 forward from the useless carbon dust that opening 16 enters, and useless carbon dust is dispersed evenly in the carbon power pot 12.
Below be described in detail at the induction start of useless carbon dust storage device 10.See also Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram of covering shown in Figure 2 30 rotations to the position that stops the light that light emission portion 24 sends.After starting useless carbon dust amount arrangement for detecting 14, the motor (not being shown in the diagram) that is arranged at outside the useless carbon dust storage device 10 will provide power to rotate with respect to carbon power pot 12 with the active rotation part 36 of rotating drive mechanism 22; In the rotary course of active rotation part 36, on the one hand, helicoidal structure 40 on the active rotation part 36 will be with 36 rotations of active rotation part, to stir the useless carbon dust that enters from opening 16 and to drive forward with being about to it, so that useless carbon dust can successfully enter in the carbon power pot 12, so can avoid useless carbon dust to be deposited in opening 16 places and situation about resulting in blockage takes place; On the other hand, actuator 38 also can follow active rotation part 36 to rotate together, at this moment, because actuator 38 meeting butts are lived the driven member 34 (as Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 3) of driven rotating mechanism 20, therefore, in the process of actuator 38 rotation, turning axle 28 will be between actuator 38 and driven member 34 contacts under the interaction of the turning moment that turning moment that interlock produces and rocking arm 32 produce because of weight own, rotates thereby replace with respect to carbon power pot 12 clockwises or inverse clock ground.
Thus, the covering 30 that is connected in an end of turning axle 28 will rotate back and forth between as shown in Figure 2 position and position as shown in Figure 3, when covering 30 rotation during to as shown in Figure 2 position, because the breach of the C type ring structure of covering 30 is over against the light acceptance division 26 of optical profile type sensor 18, meaning is that covering 30 there is no the light (as shown in Figure 2) that stops light emission portion 24 and send, therefore the light that sends of light emission portion 24 can be incident to light acceptance division 26, so that the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 is in accepting state; And when covering 30 during from the rotation of as shown in Figure 2 position to as shown in Figure 3 position, because the breach of the C type ring structure of covering 30 is no longer over against the light acceptance division 26 of optical profile type sensor 18, therefore covering 30 will stop the light (as shown in Figure 3) that light emission portion 24 sends, cause light acceptance division 26 can't receive the light that light emission portion 24 sends, thereby make the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 be in interruption status.
In sum, when active rotation part 36 rotates continuously, covering 30 will be along with contacting interlock and reciprocally rotation back and forth between as shown in Figure 2 position and position as shown in Figure 3 between actuator 38 and the driven member 34, in this simultaneously, rocking arm 32 also can reciprocally swing up and down between as shown in Figure 2 a primary importance and a second place as shown in Figure 3.Thus, since covering 30 can rocking arm 32 rotations allow during to this primary importance light that light emission portion 24 sends by and stop that light is incident to light acceptance division 26 in rocking arm 32 rotations during to this second place, so the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 will alternately be beated between accepting state and interruption status.In other words, when the useless carbon dust of accumulating in the carbon power pot 12 also can't interrupt mechanism interlock between driven rotating mechanism 20 and the driving mechanism 22, optical profile type sensor 18 can stably read and be set forth in the sense state of beating between accepting state and the interruption status, at this moment, optical profile type sensor 18 can be that carbon power pot 12 interior useless carbon dusts are not filled as yet with this situation interpretation.
Next, when useless carbon dust accumulates in the carbon power pot 12 along with the drive of active rotation part 36; rocking arm 32 will abut on the useless carbon dust stored in the carbon power pot 12 to lower swing the time; and along with the upwards accumulation gradually of useless carbon dust, the height that the down amplitude of fluctuation of rocking arm 32 will begin to be subjected to the useless carbon dusts accumulated in the carbon power pot 12 influences.That is to say that when actuator 38 rotation during to as shown in Figure 3 position, will rise along with the increase of the useless carbon dust height of accumulating in the carbon power pot 12 gradually from this second place as shown in Figure 3 in the position that the bottom of rocking arm 32 is resisted against on the useless carbon dust.After useless carbon dust is accumulate to a certain height; rocking arm 32 will be raised to making actuator 38 can't abut on the position of driven member 34 again by useless carbon dust; at this moment; even actuator 38 rotation is to as shown in Figure 2 position (actuator 38 has maximum relatively development length downwards on this position); actuator 38 still can abut to driven member 34, thus namely can cause turning axle 28 can't be again by contacting interlock and replace with respect to carbon power pot 12 clockwises or inverse clock ground and to rotate between actuator 38 and the driven member 34.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, when rocking arm 32 is raised to making actuator 38 can't abut on the position of driven member 34 again by useless carbon dust, the breach of the C type ring structure of covering 30 will be constantly over against the light acceptance division 26 of optical profile type sensor 18, so that the light that light emission portion 24 sends can be incident to light acceptance division 26, thereby make the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 can be in accepting state constantly.In other words, when the useless carbon dust of accumulating in the carbon power pot 12 has been enough to interrupt mechanism interlock between driven rotating mechanism 20 and the driving mechanism 22, optical profile type sensor 18 can stably read the above-mentioned sense state that continues to be in accepting state, at this moment, optical profile type sensor 18 can be that carbon power pot 12 interior useless carbon dusts are filled with this situation interpretation.It should be noted that, when carbon power pot 12 is not installed as yet, it also can cause the sense state of optical profile type sensor 18 to continue to be in accepting state, yet no matter be that carbon power pot 12 interior useless carbon dusts have been filled or carbon power pot 12 is installed as yet, optical profile type sensor 18 all can send alarm signal further, reminding the user to watch the present situation of useless carbon dust storage device 10, thereby according to watching the action that the result judges whether to change or to install carbon power pot 12.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the setting that the sense state of above-mentioned optical profile type sensor 18 reads can be adopted setting common in the prior art.For instance, optical profile type sensor 18 can adopt the setting of reading once and reading each time in per 30 seconds 10 seconds, the sense state that reads when optical profile type sensor 18 is during for the situation of alternately beating between accepting state and interruption status, but 18 interpretations of optical profile type sensor are not filled as yet for the useless carbon dusts in this moment carbon power pot 12; Otherwise, the sense state that reads when optical profile type sensor 18 is when stably being in the situation of accepting state, but 18 interpretations of optical profile type sensor are that carbon power pot 12 interior useless carbon dusts have been filled or carbon power pot 12 installation as yet at this moment, and send alarm signal further, to remind the user to change or carbon power pot 12 be installed.In addition, breach and the relative position relation between the optical profile type sensor 18 of the C type ring structure of covering 30 can be not limited to the mentioned design of above-described embodiment, that is to say, it also can change when being designed to covering 30 in rotation to as shown in Figure 3 position, the breach of its C type ring structure can be over against the light acceptance division 26 of optical profile type sensor 18, so that the light sensing reform the sanction of optical profile type sensor 18 is in accepting state; And when covering 30 rotation during to as shown in Figure 2 position, then covering 30 will stop the light that light emission portion 24 sends, so that the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 is in interruption status, therefore, be different from above-described embodiment, it is when stably being in the situation of interruption status that optical profile type sensor 18 needs in its sense state that reads, can interpretation be that carbon power pot 12 interior useless carbon dusts have been filled or carbon power pot 12 installation as yet at this moment, and send alarm signal further, to remind the user to change or carbon power pot 12 be installed.As for adopting which kind of design, its practical application by useless carbon dust storage device 10 is decided.
In addition, from the above, when active rotation part 36 rotates continuously; rocking arm 32 can be along with contacting interlock and reciprocally swing up and down between as shown in Figure 2 this primary importance and this second place as shown in Figure 3 between actuator 38 and the driven member 34; in this process; even if useless carbon dust is arranged because vibrating or other factors are deposited in rocking arm 32 tops; these useless carbon dusts also can drop from rocking arm 32 in the process of lower swing at rocking arm 32, the carbon dust of so can avoiding too much giving up accumulates on the rocking arm 32 and causes being positioned at the situation generation that the useless carbon dust of rocking arm 32 belows can't raise rocking arm 32.
Then, see also Fig. 4, it is the synoptic diagram of the present invention one second embodiment one useless carbon dust storage device 50.Element described in second embodiment and the identical person of element number described in first embodiment represent that it has similar function or structure.Useless carbon dust storage device 10 differences of the useless carbon dust storage device 50 of second embodiment and first embodiment mainly are the interlinked mechanism design of driven rotating mechanism and driving mechanism.As shown in Figure 4, useless carbon dust storage device 50 includes carbon power pot 12 and a useless carbon dust amount arrangement for detecting 52; Useless carbon dust amount arrangement for detecting 52 includes optical profile type sensor 18, a driven rotating mechanism 54, and a driving mechanism 56; Driven rotating mechanism 54 is arranged in the carbon power pot 12, and driven rotating mechanism 54 includes a turning axle 58, a covering 60, a rocking arm 62, and a driven member 64.Turning axle 58 is arranged on the position of carbon power pot 12 corresponding optical profile type sensors 18.Covering 60 is connected in an end of turning axle 58 corresponding optical profile type sensors 18, in this embodiment, covering 60 preferably is a sheet extended structure, and it is arranged between light emission portion 24 and the light acceptance division 26, and covering 60 is used for stopping the light that light emission portion 24 sends.Rocking arm 62 is connected on the turning axle 58, and rocking arm 62 is used for being resisted against on the stored useless carbon dust of carbon power pot 12; In addition, by the contrast of Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 as can be known, be different from the configuration design of rocking arm 32 and driven member 34 among first embodiment, driven member 64 is connected on the turning axle 58 in the mode that is arranged in parallel in fact with rocking arm 62.
Then, as shown in Figure 4, driving mechanism 56 is installed in the carbon power pot 12, and driving mechanism 56 includes an active rotation part 66 and an actuator 68; Active rotation part 66 rotatably is arranged in the carbon power pot 12, same as above, can be the generally common mechanical drive mode of the rotation start of active rotation part 66 drives, so that they can be with respect to carbon power pot 12 rotations, as the mode that drives with motor, but not limit by this, active rotation part 66 includes a motor 70 and a gear 72; Gear 72 is connected in actuator 68 and is engaged in motor 70, and gear 72 is used for being driven and 68 rotations of drive actuator by motor 70 rotations; Actuator 68 is used for being connected to driven member 64 and promotes driven member 64 so that turning axle 58 rotations stop the light that light emission portion 24 is sent or allow light to be incident to light acceptance division 26 and 62 rotations of driving rocking arm with driving covering 60 when active rotation part 66 rotates with respect to carbon power pot 12.
Below be described in detail at the induction start of useless carbon dust storage device 50.See also Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the synoptic diagram of covering shown in Figure 4 60 rotations to the position that stops the light that light emission portion 24 sends.After starting useless carbon dust amount arrangement for detecting 52, motor 70 will provide power to rotate with respect to carbon power pot 12 with transmitting gear 72, the actuator 68 that is connected on the gear 72 with drive is that rotary middle point is with moving rotation with the center of circle of gear 72, and when actuator 68 toward near the rotation of the direction of driven member 64 and on position as shown in Figure 5 during with the mutual butt of the driven member 64 of driven rotating mechanism 54, actuator 68 will promote upwards swing of driven member 64, by the time when actuator 68 promote driven members 64 to peak (i.e. position as shown in Figure 4) and beginning toward away from the direction rotation of driven member 64 time, driven member 64 will lose the expulsive force that actuator 68 makes progress and can begin because of weight itself to lower swing, up to actuator 68 rotation till the position as shown in Figure 5, so go round and begin again, that is as long as outputting power is for gear 72 rotation continuously for motor 70, driven member 64 will swing back and forth between as shown in Figure 5 position and position as shown in Figure 4.
In the process that above-mentioned driven member 64 swings back and forth, covering 60 can be when driven member 64 be rocked to as shown in Figure 4 position, rotation position extremely as shown in Figure 4, at this moment, owing to for not exclusively covering, make the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 be in accepting state between covering 60 and the light emission portion 24; And when covering 60 is rotated to as shown in Figure 5 position along with the swing of driven member 64, since between this moment covering 60 and the light emission portion 24 for covering fully, cause light acceptance division 26 can't receive the light that light emission portion 24 sends, thereby make the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 be in interruption status.
In sum, when gear 72 rotates continuously, covering 60 will be along with contacting interlock and reciprocally rotation back and forth between as shown in Figure 4 position and position as shown in Figure 5 between actuator 68 and the driven member 64, in this simultaneously, rocking arm 62 also can reciprocally swing up and down between as shown in Figure 4 a primary importance and a second place as shown in Figure 5.Thus, since covering 60 can rocking arm 62 rotations allow during to this primary importance light that light emission portion 24 sends by and stop that light is incident to light acceptance division 26 in rocking arm 62 rotations during to this second place, so the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 will alternately be beated between accepting state and interruption status.In other words, when useless carbon dust that powder in the carbon power pot 12 is accumulated also can't interrupt mechanism interlock between driven rotating mechanism 54 and the driving mechanism 56, optical profile type sensor 18 can stably read and be set forth in the sense state of beating between accepting state and the interruption status, at this moment, optical profile type sensor 18 can be that carbon power pot 12 interior useless carbon dusts are not filled as yet with this situation interpretation.
Next, when useless carbon dust builds up in carbon power pot 12; rocking arm 62 will abut on the useless carbon dust stored in the carbon power pot 12 to lower swing the time; and along with the upwards accumulation gradually of useless carbon dust; the height that the down amplitude of fluctuation of rocking arm 62 will begin to be subjected to the useless carbon dusts accumulated in the carbon power pot 12 influences; that is to say; when actuator 68 rotations during to as shown in Figure 5 position, the position that the bottom of rocking arm 62 is resisted against on the useless carbon dust will be from this second place rising gradually along with the increase of the useless carbon dust height of accumulating in the carbon power pot 12 as shown in Figure 5.After useless carbon dust was accumulate to a certain height, rocking arm 62 will be raised to actuator 68 can't be abutted on the position of driven member 64 again by useless carbon dust.At this moment, even actuator 68 rotations position extremely as shown in Figure 4, actuator 68 still can abut to driven member 64, thus can cause turning axle 58 can't be again by contacting interlock and replace with respect to carbon power pot 12 clockwises or inverse clock ground and to rotate between actuator 68 and the driven member 64.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, the relative position relation between covering 60 and the light emission portion 24 will be in the state that not exclusively covers constantly, thereby makes the light sensing of optical profile type sensor 18 can be in accepting state constantly.In other words, when the useless carbon dust of accumulating in the carbon power pot 12 has been enough to interrupt mechanism interlock between driven rotating mechanism 54 and the driving mechanism 56, optical profile type sensor 18 can stably read the above-mentioned sense state that continues to be in accepting state, at this moment, optical profile type sensor 18 can be that carbon power pot 12 interior useless carbon dusts are filled with this situation interpretation.
In like manner, from the above, when gear 72 rotates continuously; rocking arm 62 can be along with contacting interlock and reciprocally swing up and down between as shown in Figure 4 this primary importance and this second place as shown in Figure 5 between actuator 68 and the driven member 64; in this process; even if useless carbon dust is arranged because vibrating or other factors are deposited in rocking arm 62 tops; these useless carbon dusts also can drop from rocking arm 62 in the process of lower swing at rocking arm 62, the carbon dust of so can avoiding too much giving up accumulates on the rocking arm 62 and causes being positioned at the situation generation that the useless carbon dust of rocking arm 62 belows can't raise rocking arm 62.
In addition, the design of active rotation part 66 can be not limited to the design of the mentioned motor driven wheel of above-described embodiment, it also can adopt other can drive the interlinked mechanism design of actuator 68 rotations, for instance, active rotation part 66 also can change the single disc structure on the transmission rotational axis that directly is arranged in motor into, actuator 68 then is to connect thereon as the mode that is arranged on the gear 72, so also can reach the purpose that promotion driven member 64 reciprocally swings back and forth, to receive the effect of the structural design of simplifying driving mechanism.
Be compared to prior art, the present invention adopts the mentioned mechanism's interlock design that utilizes cam or gear driven driven member in above-described embodiment, can carry out periodicity interpretation to the storage capacity of useless carbon dust so that be arranged at optical profile type inductor outside the carbon power pot.Thus, not only can avoid useless carbon dust to be attached to the erroneous judgement situation that the carbon power pot wall causes, also promote the optical profile type sensor for the interpretation degree of accuracy of the storage volume of useless carbon dust by above-mentioned periodic interpretation mode simultaneously.In addition, because its relevant induction interpretation flow process only need be by the interlock design of simple mechanism, and do not need other extra particular requirements (as only being applicable to the useless carbon dust of magnetic etc.) to finish, so also can increase the useless use elasticity of carbon dust storage device in practical application.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equalizations of doing according to claim of the present invention change and modify, and all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
