[0045] Specifically, the controller (PLC) divides the vertical storage tank to be controlled into multiple main heating zones and multiple auxiliary heating zones, and connects to each heating zone (main heating zone or auxiliary heating zone) respectively.

[0046] It should be noted that: ① The parameters of the electric heating rope are: approximately 50m in length, 4mm in diameter, 6158W power, 220VAC. ② The parameters of the MI electric heating tape are: 6kW power per tape, surface temperature withstand capability up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit (648.9 degrees Celsius), each tape is bent into a U-shape, each hot wire is approximately 3.5 meters long, and each cold wire is approximately 0.355 meters long. ③ As... Figure 2 As shown, the vertical storage tank in this embodiment has an outer diameter of 4000mm and a height of 5830mm. The heating area includes: the upper end cap of the tank, the vertical tank body, and the lower end cap of the tank. In this embodiment, the vertical storage tank to be controlled is divided into 9 groups of areas; groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9 are the main heating areas, and groups 5, 6, and 7 are the auxiliary heating areas.

[0047] Step 120: When any primary heating area is heated by the first electric heater, a first current temperature value of the primary heating area is obtained, and it is determined whether the first current temperature value exceeds a first preset temperature value of the primary heating area, to obtain a first determination result; when the first determination result is yes, the first electric heater corresponding to the primary heating area is controlled to stop heating or the power of the first electric heater corresponding to the primary heating area is controlled according to a PID algorithm, so that the temperature is adjusted to a target temperature range; or / and when any auxiliary heating area is heated by the second electric heater, a second current temperature value of the auxiliary heating area is obtained, and it is determined whether the second current temperature value exceeds a second preset temperature value of the auxiliary heating area, to obtain a second determination result; when the second determination result is yes, the second electric heater corresponding to the auxiliary heating area is controlled to stop heating.

[0048] Wherein, ① the first current temperature value is a current temperature value of the primary heating area. ② the first preset temperature value is a preset warning temperature value of the primary heating area, such as 100℃. ③ the target temperature range is a reasonable temperature range corresponding to the primary heating area, such as 80-90℃. ④ the second current temperature value is a current temperature value of the auxiliary heating area. ⑤ the second preset temperature value is a preset warning temperature value of the auxiliary heating area.

[0049] Specifically, when any primary heating area is heated by the first electric heater, the PLC obtains a first current temperature value of the primary heating area, and determines whether the first current temperature value exceeds a first preset temperature value of the primary heating area, to obtain a first determination result; when the first determination result is yes, the first electric heater corresponding to the primary heating area is controlled to stop heating or the power of the first electric heater corresponding to the primary heating area is controlled according to a PID algorithm, so that the temperature is adjusted to a target temperature range. Or / and, when any auxiliary heating area is heated by the second electric heater, the PLC obtains a second current temperature value of the auxiliary heating area, and determines whether the second current temperature value exceeds a second preset temperature value of the auxiliary heating area, to obtain a second determination result; when the second determination result is yes, the second electric heater corresponding to the auxiliary heating area is controlled to stop heating.

[0050] Preferably, each primary heating area and each auxiliary heating area is provided with a contactor.

[0051] Wherein, when the contactor is turned on (powered on), the corresponding electric heater is started; when the contactor is turned off, the corresponding electric heater is turned off.

[0052] The method further comprises:

[0053] The contactor corresponding to any of the main heating areas is turned on to make the first electric heater of the main heating area heat the main heating area, and the contactor corresponding to any of the auxiliary heating areas is turned on to make the first electric heater of the auxiliary heating area heat the main heating area.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 When the circuit breaker is closed, the PLC drives the intermediate relay through DO output to turn on the contactor corresponding to any of the main heating areas (the coil is powered), make the first electric heater of the main heating area heat the main heating area, and turn on the contactor corresponding to any of the auxiliary heating areas to make the first electric heater of the auxiliary heating area heat the main heating area.

[0055] Preferably, each main heating area is also provided with a power regulator corresponding thereto; the step of adjusting the temperature of any of the main heating areas to the target temperature range by the first electric heater corresponding to the main heating area according to the PID algorithm comprises:

[0056] Based on the PID algorithm and the first current temperature value of any of the main heating areas, a target analog signal is generated and sent to the power regulator corresponding to the main heating area, so that the power regulator controls the first electric heater corresponding to the main heating area to adjust the temperature of the main heating area to the target temperature range.

[0057] Preferably, the current of the power regulator is 4-20 mA.

[0058] Specifically, the PLC receives the first current temperature value of any of the main heating areas, and performs calculation by using the PID algorithm to generate a corresponding analog signal and send it to the power regulator corresponding to the main heating area, so that the power regulator outputs corresponding power according to the analog signal to adjust the temperature of the main heating area to the target temperature range.

[0059] It should be noted that the process of generating an analog signal by using the PID algorithm is a prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] Preferably, the step of controlling the first electric heater corresponding to any of the main heating areas to stop heating comprises:

[0061] The contactor corresponding to any of the main heating areas is turned off to make the first electric heater of the main heating area stop heating the main heating area.

[0062] Specifically, the PLC turns off the contactor corresponding to any of the main heating areas to make the first electric heater of the main heating area stop heating the main heating area.

[0063] The step of controlling the second electric heater corresponding to any of the auxiliary heating areas to stop heating comprises:

[0064] The contactor corresponding to any auxiliary heating area is disconnected to stop the second electric heater of the auxiliary heating area from heating the auxiliary heating area.

[0065] Specifically, the PLC disconnects the contactor corresponding to any auxiliary heating area to stop the second electric heater of the auxiliary heating area from heating the auxiliary heating area.

[0066] Preferably, the surface of any first electric heater is provided with at least one first temperature sensor, and the surface of any second electric heater is provided with at least one second temperature sensor.

[0067] Wherein, ① the first temperature sensor is a temperature sensor provided on the first electric heater corresponding to the main heating area. ② the second temperature sensor is a temperature sensor provided on the second electric heater corresponding to the auxiliary heating area. ③ the type of any temperature sensor is a thermocouple. ④ two temperature sensors are provided by default for each heating area, and the number of temperature sensors can also be set according to requirements, which is not limited herein.

[0070] Specifically, the PLC obtains the current temperature values collected by two first temperature sensors provided on the first electric heater corresponding to the main heating area, and determines the maximum of the two current temperature values corresponding to the main heating area as the first current temperature value of the main heating area. For example, the current temperature value collected by one first temperature sensor of any main heating area is 100℃, and the current temperature value collected by another first temperature sensor is 90℃, then the first current temperature value of the main heating area is 95℃.

[0071] The step of obtaining the second current temperature value of any auxiliary heating area includes:

[0072] The current temperature value collected by each second temperature sensor provided on the second electric heater corresponding to the auxiliary heating area is obtained, and the maximum of all the current temperature values corresponding to the auxiliary heating area is determined as the second current temperature value of the auxiliary heating area.

[0073] Specifically, the PLC acquires current temperature values collected by two second temperature sensors arranged on the second electric heater corresponding to any auxiliary heating area, and determines the maximum of the two current temperature values corresponding to the auxiliary heating area as the second current temperature value of the auxiliary heating area. For example, one of the second temperature sensors collects a current temperature value of 60℃, and the other second temperature sensor collects a current temperature value of 70℃, and the second current temperature value of the auxiliary heating area is 65℃.

[0074] Preferably, the outer surface of the vertical storage tank to be controlled is provided with at least one third temperature sensor, and each third temperature sensor is used to collect a current temperature value of the outer surface of the vertical storage tank to be controlled.

[0075] In this embodiment, six single-branch 8-point thermocouples are evenly distributed around the vertical storage tank to be controlled, and two single-branch 4-point thermocouples are evenly distributed to heat the lower head of the tank to collect the temperature of the vertical storage tank to be controlled.

[0076] The method further comprises:

[0077] receiving and determining, according to the current temperature value collected by each third temperature sensor, a third current temperature value of the vertical storage tank to be controlled.

[0078] The third current temperature value is the temperature value of the outer surface of the vertical storage tank to be controlled.

[0079] Specifically, the PLC receives the current temperature value collected by each third temperature sensor, and determines the maximum of the current temperature values collected by all third temperature sensors as the third current temperature value of the vertical storage tank to be controlled.

[0080] It should be noted that the third current temperature value can be determined according to the maximum of the current temperature values collected by each temperature sensor, or can be determined according to a preset algorithm, which is not limited herein.

[0081] When the temperature difference between the first current temperature value of any main heating area and the third current temperature value exceeds a first threshold value, the first electric heater corresponding to the main heating area is controlled to stop heating; or / and when the temperature difference between the second current temperature value of any auxiliary heating area and the third current temperature value exceeds a second threshold value, the second electric heater corresponding to the auxiliary heating area is controlled to stop heating.

[0082] The first threshold value and the second threshold value are set to 50℃ by default, and can be set according to requirements, and the two threshold values can be the same or different, which is not limited herein.

[0083] In addition, it should be noted that ① for the main heating area, the temperature adjustment adopts silicon controlled adjustment (i.e. power regulator), and for the auxiliary heating area, the temperature adjustment adopts switch adjustment. ② In the embodiment, the vertical storage tank to be controlled is divided into 9 groups, and the number of corresponding electric heaters and the power and other parameters of each group are shown in Table 1 (the parameter table of the vertical storage tank to be controlled). ③ The devices, lines and controllers (PLC) mentioned in the embodiment can be arranged in the control cabinet, or can be arranged separately. For example, the entire electric heating control system can be divided into three layers. The first layer is the bottom layer equipment such as electric heaters and temperature sensors (thermocouples). The second layer is the power distribution sub-box and the signal distribution sub-box. The third layer is the power distribution room electrical control cabinet (PLC). ④ The PLC and each temperature sensor transmit data through RS-485 serial signals. ⑤ The number of PLCs can be multiple, that is, one is the main PLC and the others are standby. When the main PLC fails, it can be switched to the standby PLC to ensure the stability of communication. ⑥ The PLC can also be connected with the upper computer to upload and store relevant data.
