[0052] The present application is further illustrated by the following embodiments, but the present application is not limited in the scope of the embodiments.
[0053] Embodiment 1
[0054] The present embodiment provides a determination method of a secondary pressure control parameter. The water heater comprises a proportional valve and a plurality of fire arrays. Referring to Figure 1 , the determination method comprises:
[0055] The step S11, the opening of the proportional valve is controlled to be the maximum opening value and all the fire arrays are opened, and the minimum control parameter combination and the maximum control parameter combination of the full load at which the flame remains stable in the combustion state are determined. The minimum control parameter combination comprises the minimum proportional valve current and the minimum fan speed, and the maximum control parameter combination comprises the maximum proportional valve current and the maximum fan speed.
[0056] Step S12, determining the minimum control parameter combination and the maximum control parameter combination of each section according to the minimum control parameter combination and the maximum control parameter combination of the full section. Wherein, the minimum value and the maximum value of the proportional valve current are inversely proportional to the number of the opened fire array, and the minimum value and the maximum value of the fan speed are proportional to the number of the opened fire array.
[0057] Wherein, the secondary pressure refers to the gas pressure formed after the proportional valve, which is the pressure formed by the flow area of the diaphragm and the valve port of the proportional valve.
[0058] The setting of the secondary pressure is necessarily related to the load of each section. The smaller the number of the opened fire array is, the smaller the corresponding section load is, and the greater the opening of the proportional valve is required; the greater the number of the opened fire array is, the greater the corresponding section load is, and the smaller the opening of the proportional valve is required.
[0059] The secondary pressure is related to the proportional valve current. The greater the proportional valve current is, the greater the opening of the proportional valve is, the greater the flow area is, and the greater the secondary pressure is; the smaller the proportional valve current is, the smaller the opening of the proportional valve is, the smaller the flow area is, and the smaller the secondary pressure is.
[0060] The fan speed is related to the diffusion speed of the gas. The greater the fan speed is, the stronger the wind is, and the greater the diffusion speed is; the smaller the fan speed is, the weaker the wind is, and the smaller the diffusion speed is.
[0061] Taking the number of the fire array as 3 as an example, the full section load is the three-section load, and the opening of the proportional valve is the maximum, and the three-section fire array is all opened. The number of the opened fire array of the one-section load and the two-section load is 1 and 2 respectively, which is smaller than that of the three-section load. The flow passage smoothness of the one-section load and the two-section load is smaller than that of the three-section load (i.e. the flow passage of the one-section load and the two-section load is not smooth relative to the flow passage of the three-section load). Under the same proportional valve current, the secondary pressure corresponding to the one-section load and the two-section load is greater than that of the three-section load. Since it is necessary to ensure sufficient gas, the greater secondary pressure is required for the low section to maintain combustion. If the proportional valve current range of the three-section load is simply assigned to the one-section load and the two-section load, the positive combustion of the one-section load and the two-section load may be met and the load demand may be met, but it may not be met, so the proportional valve current range of the one-section load and the two-section load needs to be raised for proper adjustment.
[0062] In this case, if the fan speed of the one-section load and the two-section load is greater than that of the three-section load, the flame will be affected by the excessive wind speed and extinguished or deviated, so the minimum value and the maximum value of the fan speed are proportional to the number of the opened fire array.
[0063] The embodiment determines the minimum and maximum control parameters corresponding to the minimum and maximum secondary pressure of the full load by determining the minimum and maximum control parameter combinations of the full load at which the flame remains stable in the combustion state, and then assigning the control parameters of other loads according to the control parameters of the full load, so that the control parameters of each load can be used, the actual load reaches the target load, and the flame is stable, does not go out, and does not return after combustion, the operation logic is simple, convenient, and efficient.
[0064] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 , step S12 includes:
[0065] Step S121, close one fire row, and take the sum of the minimum proportional valve current of the full load and a preset current increment value as the minimum proportional valve current of the current load, take the sum of the maximum proportional valve current of the full load and a preset current increment value as the maximum proportional valve current of the current load, take the difference between the minimum fan speed of the full load and a preset speed increment value as the minimum fan speed of the current load, and take the difference between the maximum fan speed of the full load and a preset speed increment value as the maximum fan speed of the current load.
[0066] Step S122, verify whether the load and flame requirements are met when the minimum and maximum control parameter combinations of the current load are used for combustion, if the load and flame requirements are met, the minimum and maximum control parameter combinations of the current load are successfully determined, and if the load and flame requirements are not met, the current increment value and the speed increment value are reset according to the actual load and flame state to adjust the minimum and maximum control parameter combinations of the current load.
[0067] Step S123, repeat steps S21 and S22 until the number of opened fire rows is zero.
[0068] The embodiment determines the minimum and maximum control parameters corresponding to the secondary pressure of the full load by determining the minimum and maximum control parameter combinations of the full load when the opening of the proportional valve is the maximum opening and all the fire arrays are opened, and then assigns the control parameters of other loads according to the control parameters of the full load, and verifies whether the control parameters of other loads are available (satisfy the load and flame requirements), and resets the control parameters when they are not available (do not satisfy the load and flame requirements). Only the control parameters of the full load need to be determined to assign the control parameters of other loads, which ensures that the control parameters of each load are available, ensures that the actual load reaches the target load and ensures that the flame is stable, does not go out and does not backfire after combustion. The operation logic is simple, convenient and efficient.
[0069] In specific implementation, the step S122 of "resetting the current increment value and the speed increment value according to the actual load and the flame state" includes:
[0070] When the actual load is less than the target load, the corresponding current increment value is increased.
[0071] When the actual load is greater than the target load, the corresponding current increment value is decreased.
[0072] When the flame goes out, the corresponding speed increment value is increased.
[0073] When the flame backfires, the corresponding speed increment value is decreased.
[0074] In specific implementation, the number of fire arrays is 3, the speed increment value includes zero, and the current increment value includes a first current increment value, a second current increment value, a third current increment value and a fourth current increment value.
[0075] The following formulas represent the minimum and maximum control parameter combinations of the two-load and one-load:
[0076] N2min=N1min=N3min.
[0077] N2max=N1max=N3max.
[0078] I1min=I3min+A.
[0079] I2min=I3min+B.
[0080] I1max=I3max+C.
[0081] I2max=I3max+D.
[0082] I3min, I3max, N3min, N3max, I2min, I2max, N2min, N2max, I1min, I1max, N1min, N1max, A, B, C, D, wherein I3min represents the proportional valve current minimum value of the full section load, I3max represents the proportional valve current maximum value of the full section load, N3min represents the fan speed minimum value of the full section load, N3max represents the fan speed maximum value of the full section load, I2min represents the proportional valve current minimum value of the second section load, I2max represents the proportional valve current maximum value of the second section load, N2min represents the fan speed minimum value of the second section load, N2max represents the fan speed maximum value of the second section load, I1min represents the proportional valve current minimum value of the first section load, I1max represents the proportional valve current maximum value of the first section load, N1min represents the fan speed minimum value of the first section load, N1max represents the fan speed maximum value of the first section load, A represents the first current increment value, B represents the second current increment value, C represents the third current increment value, and D represents the fourth current increment value.
[0083] A, B, C and D can be set according to actual needs.
[0084] According to experience, A and C are basically consistent, B and D are basically consistent, and in the case of 100 parts of the proportional valve current, A and C are generally 10-15, and B and D are generally 5-10.
