Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of valve control, and in particular to a signal calibration device, method and medium for mechanical position indication of an electric gate valve. Background Art

[0002] When the mechanical position indicator is used for the first time, the electric gate valve needs to be manually adjusted so that the electric gate valve can normally feedback the position indication signal of the electric gate valve when it is in the open and closed positions. As for how to judge whether the electric gate valve has reached the physical position, the existing method is to manually adjust the electric gate valve until it can normally feedback the switch position signal, and then control the electric gate valve through the control system to verify. At the same time, whether the valve can be "closed tightly" in the closed position is to check whether there is leakage before and after the electric gate valve is closed to the closed position signal feedback. This process is repeated to finally complete the debugging of the switch position signal of the electric gate valve. This method of adjusting and calibrating the mechanical position indicator of the electric gate valve has the following shortcomings:

[0003] (1) For the open position of the electric gate valve, only the feedback signal of the open position indicator is used to think that the electric gate valve has reached the fully open position, that is, the physical limit open position of the open position. However, in reality, after the open position signal of the electric gate valve is fed back, the electric gate valve has not reached the fully open physical limit position;

[0004] (2) For the closed position of the electric gate valve, the closed position signal fed back by the closed position position indicator sometimes cannot accurately reflect the actual physical position of the electric gate valve when it reaches the closed position, resulting in the electric gate valve being unable to "close" the electric gate valve;

[0005] (3) The traditional way of adjusting and calibrating the switch position indicator of the electric gate valve requires repeated adjustment of the electric gate valve, and repeatedly establishing a pressure difference before and after the electric gate valve to verify whether the electric gate valve is "closed", which brings inconvenience to adjustment and calibration. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant content and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0041] It should also be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.

[0042] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] A signal calibration device for the mechanical position indication of an electric gate valve comprises an AC / DC electrical quantity sensor, a mechanical position indicator, a data core processing unit and a display unit.

[0045] AC / DC power sensors are used to collect the instantaneous three-phase current values ​​during the operation of electric gate valves. Their function is to detect current changes in the electric gate valve motor, thereby determining its operating status. Their basic principle is to convert current signals into measurable voltage signals for data processing and analysis.

[0046] The mechanical position indicator is used to obtain the position indication signal of the electric gate valve. It directly contacts the mechanical components of the electric gate valve to detect the open and closed status of the gate valve. Its signal output terminal is electrically connected to the data processing core unit through the signal isolation unit.

[0047] The data processing core unit is responsible for analyzing the instantaneous three-phase current values ​​and position indication signals to determine whether the electric gate valve is in place. It is also responsible for analyzing the instantaneous three-phase current values ​​collected by the AC and DC power sensors and the position indication signals obtained by the mechanical position indicator to determine whether the electric gate valve is in place. The data processing core unit correlates the instantaneous current values ​​with the position indication signals to determine the actual position status of the electric gate valve.

[0048] The display unit is used to output the judgment result. The display unit can be a liquid crystal display, an LED indicator light, etc., which is used to display the position status and calibration results of the electric gate valve in real time.

[0049] The signal output end of the AC / DC power sensor is electrically connected to the data processing core unit through the signal isolation unit, the signal output end of the mechanical position indicator is electrically connected to the data processing core unit through the signal isolation unit, and the display unit is electrically connected to the output end of the data processing core unit.

[0050] The acquisition speed of the AC / DC power sensor is no less than 2Ks / s, which means that the sensor can collect at least 2,000 data points per second, thereby improving the accuracy and response speed of signal acquisition.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] A signal calibration method for a mechanical position indicator of an electric gate valve is based on the above-mentioned signal calibration device for a mechanical position indicator of an electric gate valve. The signal calibration method includes:

[0053] Control the action of the electric gate valve; start the electric gate valve to open or close it.

[0054] The AC and DC power sensors are used to collect the instantaneous values ​​of the three-phase current during the operation of the electric gate valve. During the operation of the electric gate valve, the AC and DC power sensors monitor the instantaneous values ​​of the three-phase current of the motor in real time.

[0055] The instantaneous value of the three-phase alternating current is transmitted to the data processing core unit, and the data processing core unit extracts the envelope curve of the instantaneous value of the three-phase current; the collected instantaneous value of the three-phase current is transmitted to the data processing core unit for analysis, and the envelope curve of the current signal is extracted to observe the current change trend.

[0056] The position indication signal of the electric gate valve is collected through the mechanical position indicator; the mechanical position indicator monitors and obtains the position indication signal of the electric gate valve in real time.

[0057] Obtain a first time interval T1 = t2 - t1; obtain a second time interval T2 = t3 - t1; wherein t1 is the time when the electric gate valve starts to operate, t2 is the time when the data core unit obtains the feedback signal of the mechanical position indicator, and t3 is the time when the maximum current on the envelope curve increases to the set current;

[0058] Set the judgment interval t. When T2-T1≤t, the electric gate valve is output as being in position. When T2-T1>t, the electric gate valve is output as being not in position. By comparing the difference between T1 and T2 with the set judgment interval t, the electric gate valve is judged to have reached the specified position. If the difference is less than or equal to t, the gate valve is considered in position; otherwise, it is considered not in position.

[0059] When analyzing the envelope curve, a judgment threshold i can be set between the rated current I of the electric gate valve and 2 times the rated current. This helps to identify the open and closed states of the electric gate valve during the current change process. That is, the set current i is greater than the rated current I of the electric gate valve, and I<i<2I.

[0060] t is used to determine whether the mechanical position indicator's in-position signal is close to the gate's limit position. It is generally determined based on the time it takes for the electric gate valve to rotate one circle. Under normal circumstances, the judgment interval t can be selected to be 30-50ms. When the difference between the second time interval T2 and the first time interval T1 is within the range of 30-50ms, it can be considered that the electric gate valve has reached its in-position position. By setting an appropriate judgment interval, the accuracy and robustness of the signal calibration method can be improved to a certain extent.

[0061] In an electrical system, electrical interference may exist between various components, which may cause signal distortion or malfunction. Therefore, the signal calibration method also includes a data processing step, which includes:

[0062] The instantaneous values ​​of the three-phase currents are input into the signal isolation unit. In the signal calibration method, the collected instantaneous values ​​of the three-phase currents are first input into the signal isolation unit. The function of the signal isolation unit is to prevent electrical interference and improve signal stability.

[0063] The signal isolation unit processes the instantaneous value of the three-phase current into an AC current signal; the signal isolation unit processes the input instantaneous value of the three-phase current into an AC current signal to facilitate subsequent data processing and transmission.

[0064] And transmit the processed AC current signal to the data processing core unit.

[0065] In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the signal in the data processing core unit, the AC current signal amplitude is 0-5V and the frequency is 50Hz.

[0066] At the same time, in practice, it is also necessary to process the output signal of the mechanical position indicator with a signal isolation unit.

[0067] The data processing step is to improve the accuracy, stability and reliability of the signal so that the data processing core unit can more accurately analyze and determine whether the electric gate valve is in place. This is of great significance for the calibration of the mechanical position indication signal of the electric gate valve.
