[0002] When carrying out offshore operations, if you encounter operations in the distant sea or dangerous sea areas or when you need to go out to sea in bad weather conditions, it is often necessary to dispatch unmanned ships to go out to sea while ensuring the safety of personnel.

[0003] However, due to the limitations of the control system of unmanned ships, only one power pump is often controlled on the ship for offshore operations. It is impossible to flexibly select pump groups to deal with complex situations like when going out to sea manually. In the event of an emergency or a situation where the pump group needs to be switched, the ship cannot switch the pump group according to different situations, which reduces the efficiency and safety of engineering operations.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a pump group switching control circuit that can automatically switch the working state of the pump group according to different situations, realize mutual cooperation between pump groups with different functions, and improve the efficiency and safety of offshore operations.

[0078] The first contactor 1KM is connected to the DC input terminal, is connected in series with the first power pump M1, and is then connected to the AC input terminal.

[0079] Specifically, when the main contact of the first contactor 1KM in the DC circuit is controlled by an electrical signal or a communication signal to be attracted and turned on, the first power pump M1, the first contactor 1KM and the AC input end in the AC circuit form a closed loop and are turned on, and the first power pump M1 operates under the action of AC power.

[0080] The second contactor 2KM is connected to the first contactor 1KM in parallel and then connected to the DC input terminal, and is connected to the second power pump M2 in series and then connected to the AC input terminal.

[0081] Specifically, when the main contact of the second contactor 2KM in the DC circuit is controlled by an electrical signal or a communication signal to be attracted and turned on, the second power pump M2, the second contactor 2KM and the AC input end in the AC circuit form a closed loop and are turned on, and the second power pump M2 operates under the action of AC power.

[0082] The first relay 5KA is connected to the DC input terminal, a first contact of the first relay 5KA is connected to the main contact of the first contactor 1KM, and a second contact of the first relay 5KA is connected to the main contact of the second contactor 2KM.

When the second contact of the first relay 5KA is closed, the main contact of the second contactor 2KM is attracted and turned on.

[0084] The CAN communication module is electrically connected to the AC input terminal, the signal input terminal of the CAN communication module is communicatively connected to the host computer, and the signal output terminal of the CAN communication module is communicatively connected to the first contactor 1KM and the second contactor 2KM respectively.

[0085] Specifically, the CAN communication module sends a control signal to the first contactor 1KM and the second contactor 2KM according to the communication signal of the host computer, so as to control the main contact of the first contactor 1KM or the second contactor 2KM to be attracted and turned on.

[0086] The first contact of the changeover relay 2KA is connected between the first relay 5KA and the DC input terminal.

[0088] The pump group switching control box provided in this embodiment selects two control modes between CAN communication control and local control by switching relays. In the CAN communication control mode, the contacts of the first contactor or the second contactor are attracted by transmitting communication signals. In the local control mode, the contacts of the first contactor or the second contactor are attracted by transmitting electrical signals. The AC power supply is connected to the first power pump M1 or the second power pump M2 through the attracted contacts of the first contactor or the second contactor, thereby automatically switching the two working states of remote communication control and local control of the pump group according to different situations, realizing mutual cooperation between the first power pump M1 and the second power pump M2, and improving the efficiency and safety of offshore operations.

In addition, the opening and closing of the CAN communication control mode and the local control mode are respectively controlled by two button switches. The two switches are independently controlled to increase the safety of circuit control. The opening and closing states of the CAN communication control mode and the local control mode are fed back to the host computer through the fourth aviation plug component, intuitively displaying the opening and closing states of the CAN communication control mode and the local control mode, thereby improving the safety of offshore operations.

[0128] The fifth aviation plug assembly is connected between the CAN communication module and the first contactor 1KM and the second contactor 2KM.

[0129] The pump group switching control box provided in this embodiment provides multiple aviation plug components for the control box to access and output electrical signals and communication signals. The aviation plug components transmit signals to realize the switching of the two control modes of CAN communication control and local control, as well as the switching of the working state of the first power pump and the second power pump. The opening and closing of the CAN communication control and local control modes are respectively controlled by two button switches. The two switches are independently controlled to increase the safety of circuit control. The opening and closing states of the CAN communication control and local control modes are fed back to the host computer through the fourth aviation plug component, intuitively displaying the opening and closing states of the CAN communication control and local control modes. The overload and overheating conditions of the circuit are reflected by the overload relay and the overheating relay. The integrated alarm buzzer alarms when the circuit is overloaded and overheated, and the working conditions of the overload relay and the overheating relay are fed back to the host computer in real time through the fourth aviation plug component to improve the safety of offshore operations. At the same time, the opening and closing of the overload relay and the overheating relay are controlled by the pulse relay and the temperature relay, and indicator lights are installed on the circuits of the pulse relay and the temperature relay respectively. The cause of the fault can be accurately identified according to the indicator light conditions, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency when fault problems occur during offshore operations.
