Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of controllers, and in particular to a fume hood controller based on modeless adaptive control and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The existing fume hood controller has three 0-10V DC voltage input signals for the displacement sensor, air volume sensor and differential pressure sensor installed on the variable air volume valve to transmit signals. In addition, there is one 0-10V DC voltage output signal to control the opening of the variable air volume valve. The fume hood controller is used to realize automatic control of the fume hood. It monitors the changes in the environmental conditions of the fume hood through the connection of the displacement sensor, micro wind speed sensor and differential pressure sensor, controls the valve of the ventilation duct through the 0-10V DC voltage signal, and realizes automatic control of the opening of the valve through the automation algorithm, thereby adjusting the air intake, so that the wind speed at the fume hood operation port is always maintained at 0.5m / s, effectively preventing the leakage of harmful gases in the cabinet, thereby protecting the operator.

[0003] In the prior art, PID algorithm is used to realize automatic control. The opening amplitude of the fume hood door can be monitored by a displacement sensor, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the air flow of the fume hood door can be obtained by calculation. This value is used as a PID algorithm parameter to participate in the automatic operation, and the valve opening of the ventilation duct is controlled to adjust the wind speed to gradually approach the target value; and on this basis, the wind speed in the cabinet is monitored by a micro wind speed sensor, and the above result is corrected as a PID parameter; the valve opening is controlled by a secondary PID combination composed of signals collected by a displacement sensor and a micro wind speed sensor, and the value monitored by the pressure difference sensor is used as output feedback.

[0004] However, in the prior art, the airflow model in the fume hood has the characteristics of large lag, strong nonlinearity, slow time variation, and strong coupling. It is difficult to obtain an accurate mathematical model. After the valve opening is adjusted in real time, there is a certain time delay when the airflow is reflected on the wind speed sensor. At the same time, for fume hoods of different sizes, the lag time is different, resulting in the PID algorithm not being very universal. Changing the specifications of a cabinet requires adjusting the PID parameters once, which greatly increases the workload for on-site installation and debugging personnel.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a fume hood controller based on modeless adaptive control and its use method to solve the problems raised above. Summary of the invention

After the valve opening is adjusted in real time, there is a certain time delay when the airflow is reflected on the wind speed sensor. At the same time, for fume hoods of different sizes, the lag time is different, resulting in the PID algorithm not being very universal.

Obviously, the implementation regulations described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] See also Figure 1-3The present invention provides a technical solution: a fume hood controller based on modeless adaptive control, comprising a fume hood 1, a controller 2, a ventilation pipe 3 and an electric valve 4, a cavity 10 is opened on the top front side of the fume hood 1, and a cabinet door 11 is movably installed on the front side of the cavity 10, a displacement sensor 6 is fixedly installed on the front side of the cavity 10, and a micro wind speed sensor 5 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the cavity 10, the top of the fume hood 1 is connected to the bottom of the ventilation pipe 3, the top of the ventilation pipe 3 is movably installed with one end of the electric valve 4, a pressure difference sensor 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the electric valve 4, and one end of the pressure difference sensor 7 is fixedly installed with the inner side of the ventilation pipe 3, one side of the top of the fume hood 1 is fixedly installed with the bottom of the controller 2, one end of the displacement sensor 6, the micro wind speed sensor 5 and the pressure difference sensor 7 are all fixedly connected to one side of the controller 2, and the controller 2 comprises a main body 20, and one side of the main body 20 is respectively fixed A first joint 21, a second joint 22 and a third joint 23 are fixedly installed, one end of the first joint 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the differential pressure sensor 7, one end of the second joint 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the displacement sensor 6, one end of the third joint 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the micro-wind speed sensor 5, the electric valve 4 includes a mounting ring 40, one side of the mounting ring 40 is plugged with a motor 43, one end of the motor 43 is movably mounted with a valve plate 41, the inner side of the mounting ring 40 is fixedly installed with the outer side of the ventilation pipe 3, the outer side of the valve plate 41 is movably installed with the inner side of the ventilation pipe 3, a mounting frame 42 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the electric valve 4, and one side of the mounting frame 42 is fixedly installed with the outer side of the mounting ring 40, one side of the mounting ring 40 is fixedly installed with the outer side of the differential pressure sensor 7, one end of the motor 43 is fixedly connected with a motor joint 24, and the bottom of the motor joint 24 is fixedly installed with the top of the main body 20.

[0043] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the cabinet door 11 of the fume hood 1 is opened, the displacement sensor 6 monitors the opening of the bottom of the cabinet door 11 in real time, and transmits the real-time data to the controller 2 through the second connector 22 to calculate the cross-sectional area of ​​the air flow of the cabinet door, and the micro-wind speed sensor 5 in the fume hood 1 will also transmit the real-time wind speed data in the cavity 10 to the controller 2 through the third connector 23 to correct the data of the control electric valve 4.

On this basis, the wind speed of the cavity 10 in the cabinet is monitored by the micro wind speed sensor 5, and the above result is corrected as a PID parameter. The opening of the valve plate 41 is controlled by a secondary PID combination composed of signals collected by the displacement sensor 6 and the micro wind speed sensor 6, and the value monitored by the differential pressure sensor 7 is used as output feedback. In this way, the controller 2 dynamically controls the wind speed of the ventilation pipe 3 through the electric valve 4, so that the output approaches the target value; after the debugging of a fume hood 1 on site is completed, the parameters can be applied to all fume hood controllers in the same environment, reducing the workload of engineers.
