Brief Description of the Drawings

[0017] Figure 1 It is a block diagram of a safe and energy-saving power consumption system for an air compressor station driven by an air floating shaft according to the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention relates to a safe and energy-saving power consumption system for an air compressor station driven by an air floating shaft as follows: It includes a control center, the control center is respectively connected to a monitoring and management module and a control subsystem, the control subsystem includes a variable frequency drive module, a data acquisition module, an energy recovery module, a safety protection module and a linkage control module, and the control subsystem is connected to multiple air compressors in the air compressor station; The control center includes a programmable logic controller PLC, which is used to monitor the operating state of the air compressor station in real time and automatically adjust the start-stop and load of the air compressor according to the gas consumption demand, avoiding no-load or over-load operation; The data acquisition module is used to collect the pipeline pressure, flow rate, and operating state data of the air compressor in the air compressor station in real time; The programmable logic controller (PLC), as the core control unit, coordinates the operation of multiple air compressors through a preset program. Each air compressor is connected to the main controller via an industrial bus or Ethernet to achieve data exchange and instruction transmission. Each air compressor is also equipped with a data acquisition module, including a pressure sensor, a flow sensor, a current sensor, a humidity sensor, and a timer, which are used to collect the pressure of the air compressor station pipeline network, the air flow rate in the pipeline network, the real-time current of the air compressor equipment, the humidity of the nearby working environment, and the operating time of the air compressor equipment in real time, and send the data to the control center via wireless communication.

[0019] Based on the data collected by the data acquisition module, the control center analyzes the current gas consumption demand according to the preset control strategy, determines whether to start or stop the air compressors, and sends start / stop or speed regulation instructions to each air compressor; when receiving the signal sent by the safety protection module, it automatically switches the faulty equipment to the standby equipment and sends an alarm signal.

[0020] The control strategy specifically includes: By setting a target pressure range; when the pressure of the air compressor station pipeline network is lower than the lower limit (insufficient output), start one or more air compressors; when the pipeline network pressure reaches the upper limit (excessive output), stop some air compressors; Combining multiple factors such as time, load, and fault status, dynamically adjust the rotation strategy, set priorities for each air compressor, and start and stop in sequence. Specifically, give priority to starting the air compressor with a shorter operating time to balance the wear of each device; When multiple air compressors are running, dynamically adjust the load of each device to ensure that all devices operate in the high-efficiency range; ensure that each air compressor is within the rated working range and does not operate overloaded.

[0021] For air compressors equipped with frequency converters, adjust the motor speed according to the gas consumption demand, increase the motor speed under high load, and decrease the motor speed under low load to reduce power consumption and achieve precise air supply.

[0022] The variable frequency drive module includes a variable frequency drive (VFD), which is used to adjust the output power according to the actual gas consumption, reduce the motor speed under low load, and reduce power consumption; Since a pressure sensor is set at the pipeline network, it can effectively measure the output of the air compressor. By comparing the real-time output P 实际 of the air compressor with the expected output P 目标 a deviation is obtained: Deviation e(t) = P 目标 - P 实际 Subsequently, calculate the control output u(t) according to the PID control formula;

[0023] wherein K p、 K i、 K d respectively represent the proportional, integral, and differential coefficients. Subsequently, the variable frequency drive module adjusts the motor speed or start / stop state of the air compressor according to u(t).

[0024] Assume that the target pressure of the pipeline network in a certain air compressor station is 0.7 MPa, the current pressure is 0.65 MPa, and the PID parameters are as follows: = 2; = 0.1; = 0.5, Calculate the deviation e(t) = 0.7 - 0.65 = 0.05, Calculate the PID output Assume: The historical cumulative value of the integral term is 0.02.

[0025] The differential term (rate of change of deviation) is -0.01.

[0026] Then: u(t)=2⋅0.05 + 0.1⋅0.02 + 0.5⋅(−0.01)=0.1 + 0.002−0.005 = 0.097, If u(t) = 0.097 is positive, it means that the output of the air compressor needs to be increased.

[0027] Assume that the control output range is from 0 to 1, corresponding to the motor speed from 0% to 100%.

[0028] Adjust the motor speed to 9.7% of the current speed.

[0029] Continuously monitor the pressure of the pipeline network through the pressure sensor, and repeat the above calculations and adjustments until the pressure stabilizes at 0.7 MPa.

[0030] The energy recovery module is used to convert the waste heat generated during the operation of the air compressor into hot water or steam, which can be reused in other production processes; Since a large amount of heat is generated during the operation of the air compressor, a heat energy recovery heat exchanger is equipped at the outlet of the compressor. The heat of the compressor exhaust is recovered through water circulation, or heat exchange is carried out with the cold water to be heated through the heat exchanger to heat the cold water to a certain temperature for heating or domestic water use; or the water is turned into steam through the heat exchanger, and the steam is sent to a steam power generation unit for power generation.

[0031] The setting of the energy recovery module can improve the energy utilization efficiency and convert waste heat into useful electrical energy.

[0032] When the air compressor is working and the heat discharged is higher than the ambient temperature and higher than a preset threshold, calculate T in real time out represents the outlet water temperature of the heat exchanger, T in represents the inlet water temperature of the heat exchanger:

[0033] Among them, represents the designed water temperature difference flowing through the heat exchanger, W re represents the minimum proportion of the heat exchanger in the operating energy cost of the air compressor. The first water volume W generated by the air compressor due to compressed air 1, the second water volume W2 discharged from the air storage tank, represents the waste heat design coefficient and can be obtained according to the actual test results. T represents the ambient temperature. When T out is greater than the first threshold, the heat exchanger exchanges heat with the cold water to be heated, heating the cold water to a certain temperature for heating or domestic water use; when T out is greater than the second threshold, excess heat energy is generated through the heat exchanger, turning water into steam and sending the steam into a steam power generation unit for power generation.

[0034] The safety protection module is used to control the automatic shutdown of the equipment in the air compressor station in case of abnormalities, automatically switch the system to standby equipment, and send out an alarm signal to avoid accidents; The safety protection module monitors the operating status of the air compressor to ensure the stable operation of the system; The specific steps include: By collecting the working current and voltage of the air compressor in real time and comparing them with the rated working current and voltage, when the real-time working current is greater than the rated working current or the real-time working voltage is greater than the rated working voltage and the running time is greater than the preset t time, it is judged that the running status of the current air compressor equipment is in an overload state; When the real-time working current is much greater than the rated working current and the real-time working voltage is much less than the rated working voltage and the running time is greater than the preset t time, it is judged that the running status of the current air compressor equipment is in a short-circuit state; Let the current working voltage be , the rated working voltage be , the working current be , the rated working current be , by setting the interval range and , When the difference between them is within and the difference between and , when the running time is greater than the preset time t, it is determined that the current operating state of the air compressor equipment is an overload state; When The difference between is greater than 0 and much greater than I b When, U d is close to the power supply voltage, it is determined that the current operating state of the air compressor equipment is a short - circuit state. In addition, when a certain bearing of the equipment has a wear failure, its vibration frequency and amplitude will show a specific change law, and its current harmonics will be abnormal:

[0035] Among them, represents the correlation degree of the current harmonic disturbance signal, U(t) represents the decomposition result of the harmonic disturbance signal, t is the running time length of the equipment, k represents the vibration amplitude, z represents the vibration frequency, I k represents the energy coefficient of the current harmonic disturbance signal; When the rotor is unbalanced, abnormalities appear in its vibration spectrum:

[0036] Among them, f r represents the actual rotation frequency of the motor, n represents the motor speed, represents the vibration severity factor coefficient, d represents the diameter of the electronic rotor, represents the time required for the rotor to rotate one week.

[0037] When the correlation degree of the current harmonic disturbance signal is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that the current equipment bearing is worn and needs to be replaced. When the vibration severity factor coefficient is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that the current equipment rotor is unbalanced.

[0038] When it is determined that the current equipment has a fault, the equipment is immediately stopped, and a signal is sent to the control center. If the air compressor is the main machine, the next main machine is enabled according to the order of the control strategy. If the air compressor is a slave machine, a standby air compressor (also acting as a slave machine role) is enabled to avoid affecting the normal operation of the air compressor station.

[0039] The abnormal vibration mode of the equipment is detected. Once potential fault signs are detected, the operation and maintenance team can be notified in time to take measures, reducing the unexpected downtime.

[0040] The linkage control module is used to automatically start, stop or switch the air compressors according to the gas consumption demand, optimize the load distribution, and ensure that each equipment in the air compressor station operates in the efficient range and avoid long - term high - load operation of a single equipment.

[0041] The linkage control module designates one air compressor as the main unit and the others as slave units. The main unit controls the start and stop of the slave units according to the air consumption demand. The linkage control module balances equipment wear by regularly rotating the master-slave roles of each air compressor. When multiple air compressors are running simultaneously, in cooperation with the control center, it dynamically adjusts the master-slave roles of each device according to the total air consumption demand to balance the load.

[0042] Regularly rotating the master-slave roles of each air compressor includes: Combining multiple factors such as time, load, and fault status, dynamically adjusting the rotation strategy specifically includes collecting data and real-time status to predict the best rotation timing.

[0043] In actual operation, there are also the following rotation methods. 1. Time rotation Set an operating time threshold for each air compressor, such as 8 hours. When the operating time of the main control air compressor reaches the threshold, the system automatically switches to the next air compressor.

[0044] 2. Load rotation Monitor the load of each air compressor. When the load of a certain device is too high, switch to a device with a lower load.

[0045] In load rotation, by combining PID control, dynamically adjust the operating state of the air compressor and adjust its speed.

[0046] 3. Fault-priority rotation Monitor the operating state of each air compressor, including temperature, vibration, fault records, etc. When rotating, give priority to selecting the air compressor with the best state.

[0047] The rotation steps are as follows: First, it is necessary to collect the operating data of each air compressor in the air compressor station, including operating time, load, status, temperature, vibration, fault records, etc.; then, according to the selected rotation strategy, select the next air compressor as the output main unit, gradually reduce the load of the current main control device, and at the same time start the next output main unit device, continuously monitor the state of each air compressor device in the air compressor station to ensure a smooth switching process, and finally record the rotation historical data to optimize the rotation strategy.

[0048] The calculation method of the best rotation timing of the present invention is as follows:

[0049] Among them, T represents the time when the device will be rotated to the main unit next time, N represents the annual average workload of the device, T B represents the number of days when the device stops due to faults, T bIt represents the number of days when the device is not scheduled for work, X represents the number of days when the device works as the main host, M represents the workload of the device when it last worked as the main host, η represents the average working efficiency of the device, 1.442 is the deviation coefficient, which is used to adjust the deviation based on working hours of the air compressor as the main host under high load and overtime duration, and 0.225 is the adjustment parameter, which is used to adjust and compensate for the high load operation duration of the air compressor as the main host.

[0050] By calculating the time when each air compressor in the air compressor station will rotate to be the output main host next time, and arranging them as the output main host in ascending order of time.

[0051] The calculation method of the optimal rotation timing provided by the present invention can accurately calculate the time when each air compressor will rotate to be the main host (main output) next time, can balance the operation time, reduce the wear of a single device, and effectively extend the service life of the device; through the rotation operation, it can effectively ensure that each device is in good condition, balance the wear, reduce the failure rate, and reduce the maintenance requirements and costs.

[0052] The present invention is also provided with a monitoring and management module, which realizes remote monitoring through the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Through remote monitoring, the operation status and energy consumption data of each device in the air compressor station can be viewed in real time, and remote warning and remote diagnosis can be realized to improve the maintenance efficiency; in a feasible implementation manner, the management personnel can change the output of the air compressor or manually change the master-slave role of each air compressor in the remote control center through the monitoring and management module. Among them, the monitoring and management module is also connected to the cloud platform, and uploads the operation data of the devices in the air compressor station to the cloud platform for permanent storage.
