Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heating pipe network technology, specifically relating to a device for reducing water pump vibration by coordinating pipe network resistance and water pump frequency. Background Technology
[0002] A variable frequency pump is a device that affects the flow rate of a pipeline network by controlling the impeller speed. Compared with the method of directly changing the pipeline resistance to control the flow rate through a throttle valve, it is more energy-efficient, so the application of variable frequency pumps is increasing.
[0003] A water pump uses a frequency converter to control the impeller speed, thus changing the head and consequently the flow rate in the pipeline. However, the rated operating conditions also change after the pump frequency changes. If the rated operating conditions after frequency conversion deviate from the actual operating conditions in the pipeline network, it will lead to a decrease in pump efficiency, i.e., increased energy loss. The external manifestations of pump energy loss are generally reduced flow rate, increased noise, and increased vibration intensity. Therefore, when the energy loss of the pump reaches a certain level, its vibration intensity reaching level two or above will not only make it difficult for the pump to operate stably, but also shorten the service life of the frequency conversion pump and cause equipment damage.
[0004] In addition, when the efficiency of the variable frequency pump decreases, the actual operating flow rate deviates from the preset flow rate, and the control system will continuously change the pump frequency to achieve the preset flow rate.
[0005] However, such a process may cause the efficiency of the variable frequency water pump to continuously decrease, and the vibration intensity of the water pump to continuously increase, eventually leading to the damage of the water pump.
[0006] Therefore, it is particularly important to invent a device that can coordinate the changes in pump frequency with the changes in pipeline resistance to reduce pump vibration. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention is proposed to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a device for reducing water pump vibration by coordinating the pipeline resistance and the water pump frequency.
[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is: a device for reducing water pump vibration by coordinating pipeline resistance and water pump frequency, comprising a remote pressure gauge A and a remote pressure gauge B, wherein both remote pressure gauge A and remote pressure gauge B are connected to an input module, the input module is connected to a processor module, the processor module includes a direct output terminal and an indirect output terminal, the direct output terminal is connected to a water pump frequency converter, and the indirect output terminal is connected to an output module.
[0009] Furthermore, the output module is connected to the throttle valve control module.
[0010] Furthermore, the input module is also connected to a remote flow meter, which measures the flow rate of liquid entering the variable frequency water pump.
[0011] Furthermore, the output module is connected to the throttle valve opening feedback module.
[0012] Furthermore, the power supply terminal of the processor module is connected to the incoming power supply.
[0013] Furthermore, a UPS module is provided at the output end of the incoming power supply.
[0014] Furthermore, the power input output terminal is also connected to a power module, which supplies power to the electrical components.
[0015] Furthermore, the processor module includes a display control terminal, which is connected to the display screen.
[0016] Furthermore, the remote pressure gauge A is located on the inlet side of the variable frequency water pump, and the remote pressure gauge B is located on the outlet side of the variable frequency water pump.
[0017] Furthermore, the variable frequency water pump is equipped with a throttle valve on the outlet side, which controls the liquid resistance in the pipeline network.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0019] This invention avoids vibration by reducing energy loss inside the variable frequency water pump, thus ensuring the stable operation and service life of the variable frequency water pump.
[0020] This invention, through the joint regulation of a throttle valve and a variable frequency water pump, makes the variable flow rate regulation of the pipeline network more flexible and reliable, avoiding the situation where the variable frequency water pump may vibrate excessively or even be damaged when relying on changing the frequency to regulate the pipeline flow rate.
