Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of PLC program control, and relates to an intelligent sorting of each unit for ash transportation in a thermal power plant, specifically an intelligent sorting PLC system for ash transportation units. Background Art

[0002] The ash transportation system of a thermal power plant can be divided into the following parts according to the distribution of ash transportation pipelines: the first and second electric field on the A side of the electrostatic precipitator; the first and second electric field on the B side of the electrostatic precipitator; the third to fifth electric field on the A side of the electrostatic precipitator; the third to fifth electric field on the B side of the electrostatic precipitator; economizer dust removal. There is no sorting and interlock logic between these several major parts in the existing PLC program of the ash transportation control system, and the ash transportation process can be carried out simultaneously, resulting in a significant increase in the consumption of compressed air, which not only wastes energy, but also has a poor ash transportation effect and is inconvenient to use.

The T2 level includes the economizer. The internal "ash transportation" priority order is: (1) Unit B of bin pumps 3 and 4; (2) Unit C of bin pumps 5 and 6; (3) Unit A of bin pumps 1 and 2; (4) Unit D of bin pumps 7 and 8. The T3 includes the third, fourth, and fifth electric fields on the A and B sides of the electrostatic precipitator. The internal "ash transportation" priority order is: (1) the A side of the third electric field; (2) the B side of the third electric field; (3) the A side of the fourth electric field; (4) the B side of the fourth electric field; (5) the A side of the fifth electric field; (6) the B side of the fifth electric field. The total sorting is: (1) the A side of the first electric field; (2) the B side of the first electric field; (3) the A side of the second electric field; (4) the B side of the second electric field; (5) Economizer Unit B; (6) Economizer Unit C; (7) Economizer Unit A; (8) Economizer Unit D; (9) the A side of the third electric field; (10) the B side of the third electric field; (11) the A side of the fourth electric field; (12) the B side of the fourth electric field; (13) the A side of the fifth electric field; (14) the B side of the fifth electric field.

[0005] Preferably, only one unit can be in the "ash transportation" state at the same time: Use the sorting reset signal of the T1 level , the sorting reset signal of the T2 level , the sorting reset signal of the T3 level in series for interlocking. Each level of sorting reset signal is sent out in series by the sorting instruction signals of each unit at this level.

[0006] Preferably, the sorting instruction trigger signal is sent out in parallel by the high material level signal of the bin pump in this unit and the signal indicating that the feeding time in this unit has reached. The high material level signal of the bin pump in this unit is sent out by summarizing in parallel the high material level signals of each bin pump in this unit.

[0007] Preferably, the self-locking of the sorting instruction is completed by the sorting instructions of their respective units.

[0008] Preferably, the unlocking of the sorting instruction is completed by the purging completion instruction of this unit or the reset instruction of this unit.

[0009] Preferably, the queue order is interlocked from top to bottom: n represents the queue serial number of the sorting unit, and n ranges from 1 to 14. The sorting instruction of this unit is interlocked by the high material level signals of all the units before the sorting of this unit. That is, as long as one of the units with a queue serial number less than this unit is at a high material level, the sorting instruction of this unit will not be sent out.

[0010] Beneficial effects

[0011] The present invention provides an intelligent sorting PLC system for ash conveying units, which has the following beneficial effects: The present invention solves the problem of the disordered parallel ash conveying state of each unit in the previous ash removal. According to the ash falling amount and ash falling speed of each unit, it automatically sorts, and only one unit is in the ash conveying state in each time period, greatly reducing the consumption of compressed air. One air compressor can be saved. Since the power of each air compressor is above several hundred kilowatts, the energy-saving effect is remarkable, which brings convenience to people's use.
