The main controller 1 is connected to the communication module 2, the memory 3, the A / D converter 5, the temperature sensor 10, the differential pressure sensor 8 and the pressure sensor 9; the input end of the A / D converter 5 is connected to the output end of the differential pressure sensor 8 and the output end of the pressure sensor 9; the output end of the A / D converter 5 is connected to the input end of the main controller 1 and the input end of the sub-controller 7.
[0022] The fluid flows through the first connecting pipeline 11, the second connecting pipeline 12, the laminar flow element 14 and the regulating valve 16 in sequence; the temperature sensor 10 is installed on the first connecting pipeline 11, and the signal of the temperature sensor 10 is sent to the main controller 1; the output signal of the sub-controller 7 is sent to the regulating valve 16 after being converted by the D / A converter 6, so as to adjust the opening degree of the regulating valve 16.
[0023] The temperature sensor 10 and the regulating valve 16 can be interchanged.
[0024] In a specific embodiment, the first connecting pipeline 11 and the temperature sensor 10 are located in front of the second connecting pipeline 12, or between the laminar flow element 14 and the regulating valve 16.
[0025] When the fluid pressure, especially the gas pressure, changes suddenly (for example, the pressure reducing valve located at the front end of the gas path fails or is damaged), in order to reduce and avoid the inaccuracy of the laminar flow mass flow control system caused by the sudden change of the fluid pressure, especially the gas pressure, and improve the precision, stability, reliability and anti-interference ability of the laminar flow mass flow control system, the present application adds a feedforward compensation module 4 and a differential pressure sub-control loop in the laminar flow mass flow control system.
[0026] Please refer to Fig. 3 The running structure of the laminar flow mass flow control system based on feedforward compensation and cascade control according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a main controller 1, a sub-controller 7, a D / A converter 6, a regulating valve 16, a sub-controlled object, a main controlled object, an A / D converter 5, a differential pressure sensor 8, a flow detector, a pressure mutation interference channel and a feedforward compensation module 4.
[0027] The sub-controller 7, the D / A converter 6, the regulating valve 16, the sub-controlled object, the differential pressure sensor 8 and the A / D converter 5 form a sub-control loop.
[0028] The main control loop consists of the main controller 1, the secondary control loop, the main controlled object, and the flow detector.
[0029] The main function of the secondary control loop is to make the differential pressure reach the set value, while the main function of the primary control loop is to make the flow rate reach the set value.
[0030] The input signal of the feedforward compensation module 4 is the pressure change signal from the pressure sensor 9, and the output is a compensation signal. This compensation signal is sent to the regulating valve 16. Its main function is to reduce or offset the influence of sudden changes in fluid pressure, especially gas pressure signal, on the flow rate. Under the strong interference of sudden changes in fluid pressure, especially gas pressure signal, the flow output value of the laminar flow mass flow control system can maintain good control accuracy to meet the usage requirements.
[0031] When the transfer function of the pressure change disturbance channel is The transfer function of regulating valve 16 is The transfer function of the secondary controlled object is Then the transfer function of feedforward compensation module 4 for: .
[0032] The pressure change interference channel is a "two-way input" circuit. Its input signal is the pressure change detection value of pressure sensor 9, and its output signal is the change in pressure difference caused by the pressure change.
[0033] Since the transfer functions of the pressure surge interference channel, the control valve 16, and the secondary controlled object are objectively known, the transfer function of the feedforward compensation module 4 can be calculated using the above formula. .
[0034] Once the transfer function of feedforward compensation module 4 is determined... Then, based on the input signal, namely the pressure change signal from the pressure sensor 9, the output compensation signal of the feedforward compensation module 4 can be calculated.
[0035] The transfer function of the feedforward compensation module 4 reflects the characteristics of the feedforward compensation module 4. Its input signal is the pressure change signal. After passing through the transfer function, the output signal is generated, which is the compensation signal. The compensation signal is superimposed with the output signal of the D / A converter and acts on the valve together.
[0036] This invention provides a laminar flow quality flow control method based on feedforward compensation and cascade control, comprising the following steps: When a sudden change in fluid pressure, especially gas pressure, causes a deviation between the flow rate setpoint and the actual flow rate detected, this flow rate deviation is sent to the main controller 1. The main controller 1 calculates and outputs a differential pressure setpoint. This setpoint is compared with the differential pressure detected by the differential pressure sensor 8 in the secondary control loop. The resulting differential pressure deviation is sent to the secondary controller 7. The secondary controller 7 calculates and outputs a control signal to the D / A converter 6. The D / A converter 6 converts the digital signal to an analog signal, which is then superimposed on the analog signal output by the feedforward compensation module 4 and sent to the regulating valve 16. Upon receiving this signal, the regulating valve 16 changes its valve opening and, via the secondary controlled valve... The differential pressure is adjusted by superimposing the output signal of the pressure surge interference channel. The superimposed differential pressure is detected by the differential pressure sensor 8 in the secondary control loop and converted into a digital value by the A / D converter 5 to obtain the differential pressure detection value. The differential pressure setpoint output by the main controller 1 is compared with the differential pressure detection value of the secondary control loop, and the deviation is sent to the secondary controller 7. The secondary controller 7 calculates and sends its output control signal to the D / A converter 6, which converts the digital value into an analog value. This analog value is then superimposed with the output analog signal of the feedforward compensation module 4 and sent to the regulating valve 16 to further adjust the differential pressure. This process is repeated until the differential pressure reaches the set value. When the differential pressure reaches the set value, the flow rate is further adjusted by the main controlled object, and the flow rate is detected to obtain the actual flow rate value. The flow rate setpoint is compared with the flow rate detection value, and the flow rate deviation is sent to the main controller 1. Through the secondary control loop and the main controlled object, the flow rate is further adjusted. This process is repeated until the flow rate reaches the set value. This effectively reduces or avoids the impact of strong pressure fluctuations on flow accuracy when fluid pressure, especially gas pressure, changes abruptly.
[0037] In the control process described above, the flow rate detection value is calculated from the detection values of differential pressure sensor 8, pressure sensor 9, and temperature sensor 10 in the secondary control loop. Specifically: Volumetric flow rate under standard conditions It is calculated using the following formula (1): (1) In the above formula, Volumetric flow rate under standard conditions; Temperature, in degrees Celsius; The pressure at the low-pressure side detection port 15 detected by pressure sensor 9, in units of ; A coefficient related to temperature; , The coefficients are related to the laminar flow channel structure, and the units are... ; The dynamic viscosity of the gas is determined by... Confirmed, unit is ; A coefficient related to pressure;
[0038] The pressure difference between the low-pressure side detection port 15 and the high-pressure side detection port 13 detected by the differential pressure sensor 8; The beneficial effects of this invention are that it enables the laminar flow mass flow control system to have strong anti-interference ability, high control accuracy, high reliability and good stability.
[0039] Example 1 This invention provides a laminar flow quality flow control system based on feedforward compensation and cascade control. During operation, the specific implementation is as follows: When the flow rate setpoint is 20 liters / minute, and the fluid is nitrogen, the steady-state flow rate is 19.9999 liters / minute. The deviation between the steady-state flow rate and the setpoint is -0.0001 liters / minute, which is extremely small. At this time, the fluid temperature... t The temperature was 25.3℃, and the pressure detected by pressure sensor 9 was [missing information]. p The actual measured differential pressure value is 301 kPa, detected by differential pressure sensor 8. The pressure is 1.0002 kPa, and the system is operating normally. When the pressure reducing valve located at the front end of the gas path malfunctions or is damaged, the pressure... pWithin one second, the pressure changes abruptly from 301 kPa to 350.12 kPa. Without the feedforward compensation and cascade control technology described in this invention, the actual flow rate would abruptly change to 18.5521 liters / minute, far below the set flow rate of 20 liters / minute. When the feedforward compensation and cascade control technology of this invention is used, when the pressure sensor 9 detects a pressure signal abruptly changing to 350.12 kPa, the main controller 1 calculates and outputs a differential pressure setpoint of 0.8616 kPa. At this time, the differential pressure detected by the differential pressure sensor 8 in the secondary control loop, 0.7992 kPa, is compared with this differential pressure setpoint, and the deviation of -0.0624 kPa is sent to the secondary controller 7. The secondary controller 7 calculates and outputs a control signal value. The digital quantity is converted into an analog voltage signal of 11.393V by the D / A converter. This value is superimposed with the analog compensation value of 0.652V from the feedforward compensation module 4, resulting in an analog voltage signal of 12.045V. The signal V is sent to the regulating valve 16. After receiving the signal, the regulating valve 16 adjusts the differential pressure value by changing the valve opening and through the secondary controlled object. The differential pressure is superimposed on the output signal of the pressure change interference channel. The superimposed differential pressure is detected by the differential pressure sensor 8 in the secondary control loop and converted into a digital quantity by the A / D converter 5, resulting in a differential pressure value of 0.8608 kPa. The differential pressure detection value of 0.8608 kPa in the secondary control loop is compared with the differential pressure set value of 0.8616 kPa output by the main controller. The deviation of -0.0008 kPa is sent to the secondary controller 7. After calculation, the secondary controller 7 outputs a control signal value. The digital quantity is converted into an analog voltage signal of 11.405V by the D / A converter 6. This value is superimposed on the analog compensation value of 0.652V from the feedforward compensation module 4, resulting in an analog voltage signal of 12.057V, which is sent to the regulating valve 16 to further adjust the differential pressure. This process is repeated until the differential pressure reaches the set value of 0.8616 kPa. When the differential pressure reaches the set value, the flow rate is further adjusted by the main controlled object, and the flow rate is measured. The measured flow rate is 19.9999 liters / minute. The deviation between this measured flow rate of 19.9999 liters / minute and the set flow rate of 20 liters / minute is very small, with a deviation of -0.0001 liters / minute. This measured flow rate of 19.9999 liters / minute is the same as the stable output flow rate of 19.9999 liters / minute before the pressure jump. It can be considered that the flow rate was not affected by the pressure jump, which shows that the flow control system has strong anti-interference ability, high control accuracy, high reliability and good stability.
[0040] The above-mentioned flow rate refers to the flow rate under standard conditions.
[0041] In one specific implementation, the primary controlled object and the secondary controlled object can each be regarded as a control system component with input and output; the input signal of the secondary controlled object is the valve opening degree, and the output signal is the pressure difference; the input signal of the primary controlled object is the pressure difference, and the output is the flow rate.
[0042] As is known from common technical knowledge, this invention can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this invention or its equivalents are included in this invention.

A laminar flow mass flow control method based on feed forward compensation and cascade control, characterized in that, The laminar flow mass flow control system based on feedforward compensation and cascade control according to any one of claims 1 to 9, comprising: When the fluid pressure mutation causes the flow deviation between the flow set value and the actual flow detection value, the flow deviation value is sent to the main controller (1), the main controller (1) calculates and outputs the pressure difference set value, compares the pressure difference set value with the pressure difference detection value detected by the pressure difference sensor (8) in the secondary control loop, obtains the pressure difference deviation, and sends the pressure difference deviation to the secondary controller (7). The secondary controller (7) calculates and outputs the control signal to the D / A converter (6), which converts the digital quantity into an analog quantity, which is superimposed with the output analog signal of the feedforward compensation module (4) and sent to the regulating valve. The regulating valve adjusts the pressure difference value by changing the valve opening and through the secondary controlled object, the superimposed pressure difference is superimposed with the output signal of the pressure difference disturbance channel, and the superimposed pressure difference is detected by the pressure difference sensor (8) in the secondary control loop and converted into a digital quantity by the A / D converter (5) to obtain the pressure difference detection value; the pressure difference set value output by the main controller (1) is compared with the pressure difference detection value of the secondary control loop, the deviation is sent to the secondary controller (7) again, the secondary controller (7) calculates and outputs the control signal to the D / A converter (6), which converts the digital quantity into an analog quantity, which is superimposed with the output analog signal of the feedforward compensation module (4) and sent to the regulating valve (16) to further adjust the pressure difference. The secondary control loop control is repeated to make the pressure difference reach the set value. When the pressure difference reaches the set value, the flow value is further adjusted by the main controlled object, and the flow value is detected to obtain the actual flow detection value. The flow set value is compared with the flow detection value to obtain the flow deviation value, which is sent to the main controller (1), which is further adjusted by the secondary control loop and the main controlled object to adjust the flow, and the cycle is repeated to make the flow reach the set value.
