Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic control devices, and in particular relates to a pneumatic control device with a series-parallel structure composed of four solenoid valves. Background Art

[0002] Pneumatic actuators are widely used in the field of modern industrial control. Many pneumatic actuators are designed with very complex functions such as power failure, air loss, and signal loss retention. However, when a main solenoid valve in the circuit fails, the pneumatic actuator will open or close abnormally and lose the retention function. This control method is mainly limited to single-control solenoid valves such as two-position three-way valves, which do not have abnormal retention functions such as power failure. In some important industrial control fields, especially in the power, oil, natural gas and other industries, the malfunction of the solenoid valve will cause a certain device or even the entire system to stop. Summary of the invention

The air passage behind the valve is divided into two routes and respectively connected to one end of the remaining two air lock valves, and the other ends of the remaining two air lock valves are respectively connected to the air inlet of solenoid valve B and the air inlet of solenoid valve D; the air outlet of solenoid valve B is connected to the exhaust port of solenoid valve D; the air outlet of solenoid valve C and the air outlet of solenoid valve D are connected together as the air outlet of the entire pneumatic control device; an air passage is led out from the connecting air passage between the air outlet of solenoid valve A and the exhaust port of solenoid valve C, and the air passage is connected to the connecting air passage between the air outlet of solenoid valve B and the exhaust port of solenoid valve D, and the pneumatic control device realizes series-parallel redundant control of four solenoid valves.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, solenoid valve A and solenoid valve B share one power supply, and solenoid valve C and solenoid valve D share one power supply (obviously, the four power supplies can be independently configured with gas sources and are more reliable).

[0006] Preferably, a manual stop valve is provided on the connecting airway between the air outlet of solenoid valve A and the air outlet of solenoid valve B, a manual stop valve is provided on the airway behind the air outlet of solenoid valve C, and a manual stop valve is also provided on the airway behind the air outlet of solenoid valve D.

[0011] Step 1.2, when the control device controls the actuator to exhaust air outward: solenoid valve A, solenoid valve B, solenoid valve C and solenoid valve D lose power at the same time; the air outlet of solenoid valve A is connected to the exhaust port of solenoid valve A, the air outlet of solenoid valve B is connected to the exhaust port of solenoid valve B, the air outlet of solenoid valve C is connected to the exhaust port of solenoid valve C, and the air outlet of solenoid valve D is connected to the exhaust port of solenoid valve D; the instrument air in the actuator passes through the air outlet of solenoid valve C to the exhaust port of solenoid valve C, and then passes through the air outlet of solenoid valve A to the exhaust port of solenoid valve A for discharge, and the instrument air in the actuator also passes through the air outlet of solenoid valve D to the exhaust port of solenoid valve D, and then passes through the air outlet of solenoid valve B to the exhaust port of solenoid valve B for discharge;

[0012] Step 2: When a single solenoid valve fails or loses power, execute steps 2.1 to 2.2, and the pneumatic control device still outputs the air source normally;

[0013] Step 2.1, if one of solenoid valve A and solenoid valve B fails during normal operation of the output gas source: Assuming that solenoid valve A fails, the gas outlet of solenoid valve A is connected to the exhaust port of solenoid valve A. Since the gas outlet of solenoid valve A is also connected to the gas outlet of solenoid valve B, the gas source 2 passes through the gas inlet of solenoid valve B to the gas outlet of solenoid valve B, and then passes through the gas outlet of solenoid valve A to the exhaust port of solenoid valve A and is connected to the atmosphere. The air pressure is reduced, resulting in the isolation of the air lock valve in front of solenoid valve D; while the gas source 1 still supplies gas to the actuator through the solenoid valve C to maintain normal output gas source;

[0014] Step 2.2, if one of the solenoid valves C and D fails during normal operation of the gas source output: Assuming that the solenoid valve C fails, the outlet of the solenoid valve C is connected to the exhaust port of the solenoid valve C, and the exhaust port of the solenoid valve C is connected to the outlet of the solenoid valve A and then to the inlet of the solenoid valve A; the solenoid valves A and B are normally energized, the gas source 1 passes through the solenoid valve A and then is output through the solenoid valve C, and the gas source 2 passes through the solenoid valve B and then is output through the solenoid valve C;

[0015] Step 3: When a single power supply fails, executing steps 3.1 to 3.2 will not cause abnormal operation of the actuator, and the pneumatic control device will still control the actuator normally;

[0016] Step 3.1, when the power supply shared by solenoid valves A and B is de-energized, the power supply shared by solenoid valves C and D is still energized, and air source 1 enters the actuator through the air inlet of solenoid valve C to the air outlet of solenoid valve C; air source 2 enters the actuator through the air inlet of solenoid valve D to the air outlet of solenoid valve D;

[0017] Step 3.2, when the power supply shared by solenoid valves C and D is powered off, the power supply shared by solenoid valves A and B is still powered, and gas source 1 passes through the air inlet of solenoid valve A to the air outlet of solenoid valve A, and then passes through the exhaust port of solenoid valve C to the air outlet of solenoid valve C to enter the actuator; gas source 2 passes through the air inlet of solenoid valve B to the air outlet of solenoid valve B, and then passes through the exhaust port of solenoid valve D to the air outlet of solenoid valve D to enter the actuator.

The present invention provides a control device with a series-parallel redundant design of solenoid valves, which has the advantages of convenient combination, simple process, reliable circuit, and the ability to implement monitoring and online testing.

[0025] The working method of the pneumatic control device composed of four solenoid valves in series-parallel structure is as follows:

[0026] 1) When the pneumatic control device is in normal use, and the air source 1, air source 2 and power supply are normal:

[0029] 2) When a single solenoid valve fails or loses power:

[0030] If during the normal operation of outputting the gas source, one of the solenoid valves A1 and B2 fails: Assuming that the solenoid valve A1 fails, the gas outlet 9 of the solenoid valve A is connected to the exhaust port 10 of the solenoid valve A. Since the gas outlet 9 of the solenoid valve A is also connected to the gas outlet 16 of the solenoid valve B, the gas source 2 is connected to the atmosphere through the gas inlet 14 of the solenoid valve B to the gas outlet 16 of the solenoid valve B and then through the gas outlet 9 of the solenoid valve A to the exhaust port 10 of the solenoid valve A.
