Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a box-type ship lift, and more specifically, to an emergency braking control system for a box-type ship lift. Background Art

[0002] A box-type ship lift is a special facility that uses mechanical drive to carry ships in a ship chamber along a vertical direction for lifting and running, enabling ships to quickly pass through high dam water conservancy projects. Since the driving force (torque) required for the ship chamber and the corresponding transmission machinery are relatively large, in order to solve the difficulties of equipment layout and manufacturing, the ship chamber drive mechanism generally adopts a mechanical transmission scheme of multi-unit and multi-motor decentralized drive and mechanical shaft rigid connection. Through multi-axis and multi-motor mechanical shaft synchronous drive, the torque balance between multiple drive points and the synchronous follow-up of the running speed and position are ensured, so as to realize the safe lifting and running of the ship chamber in a horizontal state throughout the whole stroke. The ship chamber body of the box-type ship lift is huge, and its operation is driven in a decentralized manner by 4 drive points and 4 sets of transmission devices arranged at the four corners of the ship chamber. Each drive point is driven by an AC variable frequency motor after deceleration, and through a short shaft rigid connection, a pinion is rotated from one side to make the ship chamber lift and run along the rack vertically laid on the concrete tower column wall. The 4 drive mechanisms are connected by a rectangular rigid synchronous shaft to form a "mechanical synchronization" drive system.

[0003] However, in actual use, the box-type ship lift equipment is 200 meters long, has a large weight, and a fast normal running speed. When an emergency brake occurs, it is required to stop within 5 seconds, and there will be a large torque deviation among the 4 drive points, making it difficult to meet the requirement of smooth operation.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit this application.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0050] Now, the box-type ship lift emergency braking control system and method provided by the embodiments of this application will be described. Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , which is a principle block diagram of the box-type ship lift emergency braking control system and method. The box-type ship lift emergency braking control system and method include a main control system 1 and four drive point braking systems distributed at the four corners of the ship lift. The main control system 1 is connected to one of the drive point braking systems; the four drive point braking systems are connected by CAN communication. In this embodiment, the four drive point braking systems are respectively a first drive point braking system 2, a second drive point braking system 3, a third drive point braking system 4 and a fourth drive point braking system 5, and are connected to each other by CAN communication; the main control system 1 is connected to the first drive point braking system 2.

[0051] Furthermore, in one of the embodiments, each drive point braking system includes a controller 6, a hydraulic system 7, a speed encoder 9 connected to the motor, and a CAN communication module 10. The controller 6 is respectively connected to the hydraulic system 7, the speed encoder 9 and the CAN communication module 10. The hydraulic system 7 is controlled by the controller 6, and its output end is connected to the motor for braking execution to achieve smooth operation during emergency braking. The speed encoder 9 is connected to the motor shaft for collecting the speed signal of the motor and transmitting the signal to the controller 6. The CAN communication module 10 is used to complete the mutual communication between the drive point braking systems and can receive the remote control of the main control system 1 through it. Preferably, a speed sensor 8 can be set on the ship lift cabin for collecting the ship lift speed.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3, the hydraulic system 7 includes a hydraulic station 11, a hydraulic control oil circuit, and a disc brake mechanism for braking execution (including a brake cylinder 12). The hydraulic station 11 is connected to the disc brake mechanism through the hydraulic control oil circuit to control the disc brake mechanism to achieve braking execution. Further, the disc brake mechanism acts on the motor output shaft to increase the system friction and eliminate the power to achieve the purpose of braking. The cooperation between the disc brake mechanism and the motor belongs to the prior art. The focus of this application is on how to smoothly deliver hydraulic oil during emergency braking so that the lift runs smoothly; therefore, the connection and action relationship between the disc brake mechanism and the motor will not be further elaborated.

[0053] The hydraulic control oil circuit further includes a first working pipeline connecting the hydraulic station 11 and the brake cylinder 12 of the disc brake mechanism. A first solenoid valve S1 for controlling conduction is provided on the first working pipeline.

[0054] The hydraulic control oil circuit further includes a second working pipeline connecting the brake cylinder 12 of the disc brake mechanism and the oil tank. A second solenoid valve S2 and a proportional valve PR are connected in series on the second working pipeline. The second solenoid valve S2 is used to control the conduction of the second working pipeline. The proportional valve PR receives the command signal from the controller 6 and performs proportional adjustment as required to control the output volume of the hydraulic oil.

[0055] The hydraulic control oil circuit further includes a third working pipeline connecting the brake cylinder 12 of the disc brake mechanism and the oil tank. A third solenoid valve S3 and a regulating valve are connected in series on the third working pipeline. The regulating valve includes a first relief valve RV1 and an adjustable throttle valve FA connected in parallel. The third solenoid valve S3 is used to control the conduction of the third working pipeline. The first relief valve RV1 is used to limit the maximum pressure of this pipeline. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the hydraulic oil is led to the oil tank. The adjustable throttle valve FA and the first relief valve RV1 are used to adjust the flow rate and pressure of the hydraulic oil and can be adjusted manually.

[0056] The hydraulic control oil circuit further includes a fourth working pipeline. One end of the fourth working pipeline is connected to the output end of the hydraulic station 11, and the other end of the fourth working pipeline is connected to the input end of the regulating valve. A fourth solenoid valve S4 and a speed control valve FCV are connected in series thereon. The fourth regulating valve is used to control conduction, and the speed control valve FCV is used to adjust the flow rate of the hydraulic oil to control the speed stability.

[0057] The hydraulic control oil circuit further includes a pressure relief oil circuit. One end of the pressure relief oil circuit is connected to the output end of the hydraulic station 11, and the other end of the pressure relief oil circuit is connected to the oil tank. A second relief valve RV2 is provided thereon to limit the maximum pressure of this pipeline. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the hydraulic oil is led to the oil tank.

[0058] In one embodiment, the hydraulic station 11 is further connected to an accumulator A, which is used to store and release hydraulic oil. When the system pressure is higher than the pressure inside the accumulator A, the accumulator A stores oil; when the system pressure is lower than the pressure inside the accumulator A, the accumulator A discharges oil. A first pressure sensor PT1 is provided at the output end of the hydraulic station 11 to detect the pressure of the accumulator A. A second pressure sensor PT2 is also provided on the pipeline near the disc brake mechanism to detect the pressure of the disc brake mechanism. The first pressure sensor PT1 and the second pressure sensor PT2 provide the pressures at various points of the hydraulic system 7 to ensure the stability of the system braking. Of course, the number of pressure sensors is not limited, and a third pressure sensor PT3 can also be set, and the average value of all detected values is taken as the system pressure.

[0059] Further, each valve element on the pipeline is connected to the controller 6 and is controlled by the instructions of the controller 6.

[0060] During an emergency brake, the controller 6 of each drive point braking system assigns a value to the proportional valve PR according to the relationship between pressure and speed, and then controls the on-off of each solenoid valve to control the pressure in the hydraulic system 7, so that the pressure of the hydraulic system 7 approaches the theoretical pressure value, thereby making the speed of each drive point braking system approach the theoretical speed, achieving a small torque difference among the 4 drive points. The whole process is adjusted in real time, so as to achieve the effect of smooth emergency braking of the elevator. Next, this process will be further described:

[0061] When receiving an emergency brake signal, the controller 6 presets the speed curve required for successful emergency braking, and inputs it together with the speed value of the real-time acquisition speed encoder 9 into the PID control module to calculate the theoretical required pressure P0 of the hydraulic system 7, and compares it with the average pressure P1 of the hydraulic system 7. The difference between the two is compared with two thresholds set by experience:

[0062] (1) If P1 - P0 ≥ 15, the second solenoid valve S2 is energized and conducts, the third solenoid valve S3 is not energized and does not conduct, the proportional valve PR is assigned the value P0, and the proportional valve PR, the first relief valve RV1 and the adjustable throttle valve FA are used for pressure relief to accelerate the pressure drop of the hydraulic system 7;

[0063] (2) If 10 < P1 - P0 < 15, the second solenoid valve S2 is energized, the first solenoid valve S1, the third solenoid valve S3 and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are not energized, the second solenoid valve S2 and the third solenoid valve S3 conduct, the first solenoid valve S1 and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are cut off, the proportional valve PR is assigned the value P0, and the proportional valve PR, the first relief valve RV1 and the adjustable throttle valve FA are used for pressure relief;

[0064] (3) If -10 ≤ P1 - P0 ≤ 10, the second solenoid valve S2, the third solenoid valve S3, and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are energized. The second solenoid valve S2 and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are turned on, the third solenoid valve S3 is turned off, and the PR value of the proportional valve is dynamically adjusted;

[0065] (4) If P1 - P0 ≤ -10, the second solenoid valve S2, the third solenoid valve S3, and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are energized, and the first solenoid valve S1 is energized for 100 ms. The first solenoid valve S1, the second solenoid valve S2, and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are turned on, the third solenoid valve S3 is turned off, the proportional valve PR is assigned the value P0, and the accumulator A discharges oil.

[0066] (5) Repeat the above comparison and assignment until the speed of the speed encoder 9 is 0. The second solenoid valve S2, the third solenoid valve S3, and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are energized, the first solenoid valve S1 is not energized, the second solenoid valve S2 and the fourth solenoid valve S4 are turned on, the first solenoid valve S1 and the third solenoid valve S3 are turned off, the proportional valve PR is assigned the value 0, and the oil in the system is returned to the fuel tank.

[0067] The following is a detailed description again in combination with specific embodiments:

[0068] First, with a standard water depth of 3 m and considering factors such as system friction resistance, calculate the pressure p0 of the hydraulic system 7 at the start of emergency braking:

[0115] Finally, during an emergency brake, the controller 6 of each driving point braking system assigns a value to the proportional valve PR according to the relationship between pressure and speed, so as to adjust the states of the 4 driving points in real time, reduce the torque difference of the 4 driving points, and achieve smooth operation of the lift. First, compare with the set minimum threshold p L1 and the maximum threshold p H1 (here, according to experience, the minimum threshold p L1 is taken as 40, and the maximum threshold p H1 is taken as 80) for rough adjustment:

[0118] Then, take the measured average value of the hydraulic control oil circuit pressure: That is, the average pressure is equal to the average value of the pressures detected by the pressure sensors at various locations within the system. There are two pressure sensors within the system. This average value is subtracted from the theoretical hydraulic system pressure p at time t (n+1) at time t (n+1) and compared with an empirically set threshold value for fine adjustment:
