[0002] At present, many transmitters are often replaced due to maintenance or calibration. When they are installed again, the staff needs to hold a handheld operator to reconfigure the process link for operation and docking.

According to actual operations, although reconfiguration is required, the type of transmitter selected in the process link is relatively fixed, and only one type of transmitter is often installed on the dedicated interface, so the configuration parameters are relatively fixed.

[0042] The reading assembly includes an insulating base 4, a control unit 42 and a telescopic probe 41. In this embodiment, the insulating base 4 is preferably a ring-shaped structure, and a cavity is provided on the insulating base 4. The control unit 42 and the telescopic probe 41 are both arranged in the cavity. One end of the telescopic probe 41 is connected to the acquisition interface, power interface, RST signal interface, CLK signal interface or SWP signal interface on the control unit 42 through a wire 5, and the other end extends to the outside of the insulating base 4. Figure 7 In this embodiment, the control unit 42 stores parameter information of the transmitter 1. In this embodiment, the parameter information preferably includes at least the identity information of the current transmitter 1, the acquisition parameter type (temperature, pressure, etc.), the acquisition working conditions (medium type, ambient temperature, protection level, etc.), and the acquisition accuracy and range. In this embodiment, the number of telescopic probes 41 is set corresponding to the contact piece 34, that is, it includes multiple groups, and each group of telescopic probes 41 includes multiple probes arranged horizontally and / or vertically, see Figure 8 , when multiple groups of contact pieces 34 are arranged in a ring structure or a semicircular ring structure on the insulating base, and there is a gap between two adjacent groups of contact pieces 34, in order to avoid short circuit, it is preferred that the distance between the two groups of telescopic probes 41 corresponding to the two adjacent groups of contact pieces 34 is equal to the sum of the arc length of the contact pieces 34 and the gap distance; when multiple groups of contact pieces 34 are arranged from near to far from the center of the insulating base, and there is a gap between two adjacent groups of contact pieces 34, then the distance between the two groups of telescopic probes 41 corresponding to the two adjacent groups of contact pieces 34 is equal to the sum of the arc width of the contact pieces 34 and the gap distance; at the same time, the arrangement width of the multiple probes in each group of telescopic probes 41 is smaller than the distance between the gaps of the two adjacent contact pieces 34, see Fig. 9 , which is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34 provided in this embodiment.

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the telescopic probe 41 is in contact with the corresponding contact piece 34, and to avoid the error in docking between the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34, thereby causing data reading errors or failures, especially when multiple groups of contact pieces 34 are arranged in a ring structure on the insulating base, it is preferred that a probe adaptive docking assembly 43 is provided on the insulating base 4, and the probe adaptive docking assembly 43 includes a moving disk 431, a fixed disk 432 and a stepping motor 433, and a hollow transmission shaft 4312 and contacts 4311 corresponding to the number of the telescopic probes 41 are provided on the moving disk 431, see Fig.12 Schematic diagram of the distribution structure of the contacts 4311 on the moving disk 431 provided in this embodiment, the wire 5 passes through the hollow transmission shaft 4312 to connect the telescopic probe 41 with the corresponding contact 4311, and the fixed disk 432 is provided with a brush 4321 corresponding to and contacting the contact 4311, see Fig.13 , which is a schematic diagram of the distribution structure of the brush 4321 on the fixed disk 432 provided in the present embodiment, the stepper motor 433 is connected to the hollow transmission shaft 4312 on the moving disk 431, and the brush 4321 and the stepper motor 433 are connected to the control unit 42. When in use, the control unit 42 controls the stepper motor 433 to drive the moving disk 431 to rotate, thereby driving the telescopic probe 41 to rotate until the telescopic probe 41 contacts the corresponding contact piece 34. During real-time docking, the control unit 42 sends a verification message to the processing unit 33 through the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34. At the same time, the processing unit 33 sends feedback information to the control unit 42. When the feedback information sent meets the preset message or handshake information, it indicates that the current telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34 contacted by it are connected correctly. If not, the control unit 42 controls the stepper motor 433 to drive the moving disk 431 to continue rotating until all the feedback information corresponding to all the telescopic probes 41 received by the control unit 42 is completed. Satisfy the preset message or handshake information; in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the brush 4321 is in good contact with the contact 4311, a pushing assembly is provided on the fixed disk 432, and the pushing assembly includes a spring push rod 4322, by which the brush 4321 on the fixed disk 432 can be pushed toward the direction of the contact 4311 on the moving disk 431 so that the brush 4321 is always in contact with the contact 4311. In this embodiment, in order to save the volume of the adaptive docking assembly, it is preferred that the fixed disk 432 is arranged between the moving disk 431 and the stepper motor 433, and the push rod assembly is arranged in the hollow transmission shaft 4312 of the moving disk 431, and one end of the push rod assembly is fixed on the hollow rotating shaft, and the other end is in contact with the fixed disk 432. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the push rod assembly from rotating synchronously with the hollow transmission shaft 4312, it is preferred that one end of the push rod assembly fixed on the hollow rotating shaft is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft rotates with the moving disk 431 to prevent the push rod assembly from rotating. Fig.10, which is a structural schematic diagram of an optimal probe adaptive docking component 43 provided in this embodiment. Other similar or close structures that solve the same technical problem belong to the protection scope of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the use of the probe adaptive docking component 43 can not only ensure that the telescopic probe 41 is in accurate contact with the corresponding contact piece 34, and realize the docking error correction function of the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34, but also ensure that the reading and writing of data during the configuration process of the transmitter 1 is effective and accurate.

[0044] In this embodiment, in order to avoid the disconnection of the contact 4311 and the brush 4321 during long-term use, thereby causing abnormal data collection, it is preferred that a sensing unit is provided on the insulating base 4, and the sensing unit is connected to the control unit 42. The sensing unit includes a pressure sensing module 4313, or the sensing unit includes a pressure sensing module 4313 and an alarm module. In this embodiment, the pressure sensing module 4313 is preferably provided on the contact 4311, and the pressure of the brush 4321 on the contact 4311 is sensed to detect whether the contact 4311 and the brush 4321 are in contact. The alarm module includes a wireless transceiver module and / or an audible and visual alarm module. When in use, the pressure sensor sends the sensed information to the control unit 42. The control unit 42 determines whether there is an abnormal contact between the brush 4321 and the contact 4311 based on the sensing information. If so, the current alarm information is remotely transmitted to the host computer through the wireless transceiver module, so that the staff can detect whether the data transmitted by the transmitter 1 is abnormal and take corresponding emergency measures. At the same time, the sound and light alarm module issues an on-site alarm to remind the staff that the current transmitter 1 has an abnormality, check the brush 4321 and the contact 4311, or whether the connection between the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34 is loose, and take corresponding measures. Therefore, the sensing unit in this embodiment can display the fault to the staff in time, avoiding the transmitter 1 from collecting and transmitting abnormal data to the host computer for a long time.

[0045] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in order to promptly remind the staff whether the current transmitter 1 configuration is correct and completed, the preferred reading component includes an alarm unit, which includes an on-site alarm module, a remote alarm module and a display module. In the present embodiment, the alarm unit and the above-mentioned sensing unit can share the on-site alarm module and the remote alarm module, that is, when the transmitter 1 is configured and configured correctly, the current alarm information is remotely transmitted to the host computer through the wireless transceiver module, so that the staff knows that the current position transmitter 1 configuration is completed. At the same time, the sound and light alarm module performs an on-site alarm to remind the staff that the current transmitter 1 configuration is completed. When the configuration fails, the sound and light alarm module performs an on-site alarm to remind the staff that the current transmitter 1 configuration is abnormal. At the same time, the fault code is displayed through the display module. For example, the configuration parameter matching failure can be displayed with the number 01, the transmitter 1 failure can be displayed with 02, and the abnormal contact between the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34 can be displayed with 03, etc.; in the present embodiment, in order to save the use and manufacturing costs, the preferred display module can be the display unit provided by the transmitter 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the control unit 42 in the reading component can be an additional controller added to this embodiment. In order to save the use cost, the control unit 42 can also be integrated in the control component carried by the transmitter 1 itself; in actual use, when the control unit 42 is an additional controller added to this embodiment, the control unit 42 is connected to the original controller of the transmitter 1 itself, and the control unit 42 is not only used for the configuration of the transmitter 1, but also the information collected by the transmitter 1 during work is also sent to the host computer through the control unit 42, or, the control unit 42 is only used for the configuration of the transmitter 1, and the information collected by the transmitter 1 during work is still sent to the host computer through its original controller. In this embodiment, the preferred control unit 42 is only used for the configuration of the transmitter 1, and the information collected by the transmitter 1 during work is still sent to the host computer through its original control component.

[0047] Before use, the present embodiment installs the label component 3 on the pipe interface 21 of the process pipeline 2, and installs the reading component on the transmitter mounting joint 11. Meanwhile, the configuration information of the current pipeline is stored in the processing unit 33 of the label component 3 in advance, and the parameter information of the current transmitter 1 is stored in the control unit 42 of the reading component. When configured for use, the transmitter 1 is installed on the pipe interface 21 of the required process pipeline 2 and the telescopic probe 41 on the reading component is brought into contact with the contact piece 34 on the label component 3. The label component 3 and the reading component are started. To ensure that the telescopic probe 41 is in contact with the corresponding contact piece 34, the probe adaptive docking component 43 is started at the same time. The control unit 42 controls the stepping motor 433 to drive the moving disk 431 to rotate, thereby driving the telescopic probe 41 to rotate. When the telescopic probe 41 rotates a certain angle, the control unit 42 will query whether the contact piece 34 in contact with the telescopic probe 41 is the required corresponding contact piece 34 by sending a verification message to the processing unit 33. If so, the stepper motor 433 will be controlled to stop working. If not, the stepper motor 433 will continue to be controlled to work until the telescopic probe 41 contacts the corresponding contact piece 34. After determining that the telescopic probe 41 contacts the corresponding contact piece 34, the telescopic probe 41 on the reading component will read the preset configuration information in the processing unit 33 in the label component 3 through the contact piece 34 to confirm whether the configuration information corresponds to or satisfies the parameter information of its built-in transmitter 1. If so, the read configuration information will be written into the control unit 42 and / or the original controller of the transmitter 1 to complete the configuration. If not, an alarm will be issued to remind the staff of the configuration abnormality and the fault code will be displayed, and the staff will perform relevant processing according to the fault code.

[0048] In summary, the transmitter configuration device in this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The automatic configuration of the transmitter 1 in the process link is realized by reading the data between the tag component 3 and the reading component and writing the data in the transmitter, thereby avoiding the problems of misoperation and low efficiency of manual configuration in manual operation. In this way, not only the labor intensity of the staff is reduced, but also the configuration efficiency and accuracy of the transmitter 1 are improved. At the same time, the transmitter configuration device in this embodiment can be applied to various types of transmitters 1 and transmitters 1 installed in process pipelines 2, so it has a wide range of use. Furthermore, the configuration device in this embodiment can be completed by one person only, without the participation of multiple people, thus saving labor costs and intensity.

[0049] Embodiment 2: Compared with Embodiment 1, the difference of this embodiment is that the transmitter configuration device includes a tag component 3 and a reading component. When used, the reading component is installed on the pipeline interface 21 of the process pipeline 2, and the control unit 42 of the reading component stores the configuration information of the current pipeline. At the same time, the reading component includes a wireless transceiver unit, which can be used to connect the reading component to the host computer and implement data transmission. Of course, in order to ensure the accuracy of data transmission, the reading component can also use a signal line to connect to the host computer and perform data transmission. The tag component 3 is installed on the transmitter installation connector 11, and the processing unit 33 of the tag component 3 stores the parameter information of the transmitter 1, see Fig.14 , the telescopic probe 41 on the reading component can contact the corresponding contact piece 34 on the tag component 3, and the reading component can read the parameter information of the transmitter 1 in the tag component 3 and transmit the parameter information and the configuration information of the current pipeline to the host computer, so as to realize indirect configuration of the transmitter 1 through the host computer; in this embodiment, the device is preferably suitable for the configuration of the wired transmitter 1. At present, since the wired transmitter 1 can only be used as a sensor to collect a specific signal of 4-20mA to the remote RTU, the corresponding configuration information cannot be sent to the host computer, and manual configuration is required on the RTU side. At the same time, when the wired transmitter 1 is installed on the pipeline, it is impossible to confirm whether the collection parameter type (temperature, pressure, etc.) of the installed transmitter 1, the pipeline type, the collection conditions (medium type, ambient temperature, protection level, etc.), and the collection accuracy and collection range of the required sensor are the transmitter 1 required for the current pipeline. Therefore, in actual use, there may be a transmitter 1 that does not meet the requirements installed on the pipeline.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to avoid abnormal or erroneous information transmission by the wired transmitter, the transmission signal of the wired transmitter can preferably be connected to the control unit 42 of the reading component through the HERT module. When the control unit 42 determines that the wired transmitter matches the current pipeline demand, the information collected by the wired transmitter (such as 4-20mA signal) can be transmitted to the RTU through the data line. At the same time, the reading component also transmits the parameter information of the read transmitter and the configuration information of the current pipeline to the host computer. If not, the wired transmitter is stopped from transmitting data.

[0051] When the transmitter configuration device in this embodiment is used specifically on a wired transmitter, the reading component is installed on the pipeline interface 21 of the process pipeline 2 and powered by the signal line on the pipeline. The control unit 42 of the reading component stores the configuration information of the current pipeline. In addition to the acquisition parameter type (temperature, pressure, etc.), pipeline type (casing pressure pipeline or back pressure pipeline), acquisition working conditions (medium type, ambient temperature, protection level, etc.) and the acquisition accuracy and acquisition range of the required sensor, the configuration information also includes the disassembly and assembly information of the transmitter 1 on the pipeline, the operation and maintenance information of the pipeline, the location information of the pipeline, etc. The label component 3 is installed on the transmitter mounting joint 11, and the processing unit 33 of the label component 3 stores The parameter information of the transmitter 1 (the same as the parameter information described in Example 1) is read. When reading data, the telescopic probe 41 on the reading component can contact the corresponding contact piece 34 on the tag component 3. In order to ensure that the telescopic probe 41 contacts the corresponding contact piece 34, the stepper motor 433 on the probe adaptive docking component 43 on the reading component drives the moving disk 431 to rotate under the control of the control unit 42, thereby driving the telescopic probe 41 to rotate until the telescopic probe 41 contacts the corresponding contact piece 34. When docking in real time, the control unit 42 sends a verification message to the processing unit 33 through the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34. At the same time, the processing unit 33 sends a feedback message to the control unit 42. When the sent feedback information meets the preset report When a message or handshake message is received, it indicates that the current telescopic probe 41 is correctly connected to the contact piece 34 in contact with it. If not, the control unit 42 controls the stepper motor 433 to drive the moving disk 431 to continue rotating until all the feedback information corresponding to the telescopic probes 41 received by the control unit 42 all meets the preset message or handshake message. After the telescopic probe 41 and the contact piece 34 are accurately connected, the reading component reads the parameter information of the transmitter 1 in the tag component through the telescopic probe, and determines whether the parameter information meets the current pipeline requirements. If so, the collected parameter information and the configuration information of the current pipeline are synchronously sent to the host computer. In this embodiment, the preferred reading component and the host computer are connected through the signal line provided by the wired transmitter, and the collected parameter information is sent to the host computer. The information and the configuration information of the current pipeline are transmitted to the host computer through the signal line. The host computer can confirm whether the current pipeline and the wired transmitter 1 are installed, whether the installation meets the requirements, and obtain the configuration information of the transmitter 1 according to the received information. The obtained configuration information can be matched with the 4-20mA signal sent by the transmitter 1. That is, the transmitter configuration device does not need to be manually configured on the RTU end. Instead, the configuration information of the transmitter 1 is sent to the host computer by using the transmitter configuration device. The host computer matches the configuration information with the corresponding collection information of the transmitter 1. In this way, not only the intelligent control of the wired transmitter is realized, but also the configuration efficiency and accuracy of the wired transmitter are improved.

In this embodiment, the control unit 42 is preferably an independent controller, and the control unit 42 is connected to the original controller of the transmitter 1 itself. The control unit 42 is not only used for the configuration of the transmitter 1, but also the information collected by the transmitter 1 during work is also sent to the host computer through the control unit 42. Alternatively, the control unit 42 is only used for the configuration of the transmitter 1, and the information collected by the transmitter 1 during work is still sent to the host computer through its original controller.

[0053] Alternatively, the transmitter mounting connector 11 is mounted with the reading component described in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the control unit 42 of the reading component stores the parameter information of the transmitter 1, and the control unit 42 of the reading component is integrated into the controller of the smart transmitter.
