Abstract
An automatic height adjusting robot has a base frame, an L shaped lifting base assembly, a lifting frame, a hoist assembly, an automated mixing assembly, a power inlet, and a screw conveyor. The automatic height adjusting robot computes controlled volumetric ratios of dry chemicals while connected to a production well.
Claims11
An automatic height adjusting robot computing controlled volumetric ratios of dry chemicals while connected to a production well, comprising:
- a. a base frame comprising:
- i. a first parallel support member and a second parallel support member;
- ii. a cross member connected between the first and second parallel support members;
- iii. a first pivoting wheel aligned with a first fixed wheel mounted on the first parallel support member;
- iv. a second pivoting wheel aligned with a second fixed wheel mounted on the second parallel support member;
- b. an L-shaped lifting base assembly removably disposed on the base frame comprising:
- i. a base plate;
- ii. a back plate mounted at an angle from 80 degrees to 100 degrees to the base plate;
- iii. a pair of sliding engagement extensions mounted to the back plate;
- iv. a lifting eyelet mounted to the back plate between the pair of sliding engagement extensions;
- c. a lifting frame mounted to the base frame at an angle from 80 degrees to 100 degrees from a base plane configured to receive the pair of sliding engagement extensions forming a secure connection with the L-shaped lifting base assembly;
- d. a hoist assembly engaging the lifting eyelet to raise and lower the L-shaped lifting base assembly off the base frame;
- e. an automated mixing assembly fastened to the L-shaped lifting base assembly, the automated mixing assembly comprising:
- i. an outer housing secured to the L-shaped lifting base assembly;
- ii. a tapered mixing chamber installed in the outer housing;
- iii. a mixing controller comprising:
- (1) a processor connected to a display;
- (2) a computer readable medium comprising:
- (a) a volumetric ratio model providing zero-lag estimates of volumetric ratios of dry chemicals to form a volumetric ratio of dry chemicals automatically;
- (b) computer instructions to instruct the processor to present a feed rate for dry chemicals entering the automated mixing assembly using a first volumetric ratio of dry chemicals from the volumetric ratio model to the display;
- (c) computer instructions to instruct the processor to dynamically re-compute the volumetric ratio of dry chemicals automatically and present the changed volumetric ratio to the display by changing at least one of:
- (i) a quantity of a first dry chemicals flowing into the tapered mixing chamber;
- (ii) a quantity of a second dry chemicals flowing into the tapered mixing chamber;
- (iii) a preset flow rate of chemicals flowing out of the tapered mixing chamber;
- f. a power inlet connected to a power supply engaging the outer housing and electrically connected to the mixing controller;
- and
- g. a screw conveyor extending from the tapered mixing chamber to an outlet.
