[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer processing technology, and in particular to a dehumidification system, method, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Dehumidifiers are frequently used in equipment management. During operation, dehumidifiers produce condensate, which needs to be collected and discharged to a designated location.

[0003] In existing technologies, the main method for draining condensate is to place a water collection bucket directly below the dehumidifier's drain outlet. Once the bucket is full, workers need to replace it with a new one and then transport the full bucket to a designated location for proper drainage. This method is not only labor-intensive but also suffers from untimely and ineffective drainage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a dehumidification system, method, electronic device, and storage medium to achieve automation of drainage and dehumidification while reducing costs, thereby improving the timeliness and effectiveness of drainage.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a dehumidification system is provided, the system comprising: a drain solenoid valve connected to a first port of a liquid storage container, an intake solenoid valve connected to an intake port, an exhaust solenoid valve connected to an exhaust port, and a liquid level detection device disposed in the liquid storage container and communicating with an electronic control device; wherein,

[0006] The liquid level detection device is used to detect the condensate level in the storage container, compare the condensate level with a preset liquid level threshold, determine the comparison result, and send the comparison result that matches the preset result to the electronic control device; wherein, the preset liquid level threshold includes a preset first threshold and a preset second threshold; the preset first threshold is greater than the preset second threshold;

[0007] The electronic control device is used to determine the valve control mode when it receives the comparison result sent by the liquid level detection device that is consistent with the preset result, and to control the valve opening and closing state of the inlet solenoid valve, the outlet solenoid valve and the drain solenoid valve based on the valve control mode so that the condensate in the liquid storage container is discharged.

[0008] According to another aspect of the present invention, a dehumidification method is provided, the method comprising:

[0009] The liquid level detection device detects the condensate level in the storage container, compares the condensate level with a preset liquid level threshold, determines the comparison result, and sends the comparison result that matches the preset result to the electronic control device; wherein, the preset liquid level threshold includes a preset first threshold and a preset second threshold; the preset first threshold is greater than the preset second threshold;

[0010] When the electronic control device receives the comparison result sent by the liquid level detection device, which is consistent with the preset result, it determines the valve control mode and controls the opening and closing states of the inlet solenoid valve, the outlet solenoid valve, and the drain solenoid valve based on the valve control mode, so as to discharge the condensate in the liquid storage container.

[0011] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising:

[0012] At least one processor; and

[0013] A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,

[0014] The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor, which enables the at least one processor to perform the dehumidification method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the dehumidification method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] The technical solution of this invention utilizes a liquid level detection device to detect the condensate level in a storage container, compares the condensate level with a preset liquid level threshold, determines the comparison result, and sends the comparison result consistent with the preset result to an electronic control device. Upon receiving the comparison result consistent with the preset result, the electronic control device determines the valve control mode and controls the opening and closing states of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, and drain solenoid valve based on the valve control mode, thereby draining the condensate from the storage container. This solves the problems of high cost, untimely drainage, and ineffective drainage in existing technologies. To address the issue of poor performance, a liquid level detection device is used to monitor the condensate level in the storage container in real time. The device compares the condensate level with a preset threshold and sends the comparison result that matches the preset threshold to the electronic control device. The electronic control device then determines the valve control mode corresponding to the comparison result. Based on the valve control mode, the opening and closing states of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, and drain solenoid valve are precisely controlled. This ensures the accuracy of condensate level monitoring while improving the timeliness and effectiveness of drainage, reducing costs, and achieving the technical effect of automated drainage and dehumidification.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a dehumidification system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to dehumidification and water removal situations. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The dehumidification system provided in this embodiment includes: a drain solenoid valve 2 connected to the first port of the liquid storage container 1, an air intake solenoid valve 5 connected to the air intake port 3, an air exhaust solenoid valve 6 connected to the exhaust port 4, and a liquid level detection device 8 disposed in the liquid storage container 1 and communicating with the electronic control device 7. The structural composition of the dehumidification system of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0027] The liquid level detection device 8 is used to detect the condensate liquid level in the liquid storage container 1, compare the condensate liquid level with the preset liquid level threshold, determine the comparison result, and send the comparison result that matches the preset result to the electronic control device 7.

[0028] The electronic control device 7 is used to determine the valve control mode when it receives a comparison result from the liquid level detection device 8 that is consistent with the preset result, and to control the opening and closing states of the inlet solenoid valve 5, the outlet solenoid valve 6 and the drain solenoid valve 2 based on the valve control mode so that the condensate in the liquid storage container 1 is discharged.

[0029] The preset liquid level threshold includes a first preset threshold and a second preset threshold; the first preset threshold is greater than the second preset threshold. The second preset threshold represents the lower limit of the condensate that the storage container 1 can hold; the first preset threshold represents the upper limit of the condensate that the storage container 1 can hold. The preset result can be either the liquid level reaching the upper limit or the liquid level falling below the lower limit. Both the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the outlet solenoid valve 6 can be electromagnetic three-way valves. The first port 51 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 is connected to the second port of the storage container 1 via a vent pipe, and the second port 52 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 is connected to the inlet port 3 via a vent pipe. The first port 61 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 is connected to the third port of the storage container 1 via a vent pipe, and the second port 62 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 is connected to the outlet port 4 via a vent pipe.

[0030] In practical applications, gas can enter through the inlet 3. With the first port 51 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 open, the gas is discharged into the liquid storage container 1 through the guide pipe and the connected inlet solenoid valve 5 port from the second port of the liquid storage container 1. Further, after natural condensation in the liquid storage container 1, with the second port of the outlet solenoid valve 6 open, the moisture is discharged from the third port of the liquid storage container 1 through the guide pipe and the connected outlet solenoid valve 6 port, entering the normal equipment pipeline to achieve dehumidification. Based on this, it can be seen that condensate will accumulate in the liquid storage container 1 due to the gas entry. To monitor and remove the condensate in a timely and effective manner, the liquid level detection device 8 can monitor the condensate level in the liquid storage container 1 in real time, comparing the condensate level with a preset liquid level threshold to determine whether the condensate level in the liquid storage container 1 exceeds the upper limit or lower limit, obtaining the comparison result. When the comparison result is detected to match the preset result (such as the liquid level reaching the upper limit or the liquid level falling below the lower limit), the comparison result can be sent to the electronic control device 7. After receiving the comparison result sent by the liquid level detection device 8, the electronic control device 7 can determine the matching valve control mode based on the comparison result. The valve control mode determines whether to open or close the valves of the inlet solenoid valve 5, the outlet solenoid valve 6, and the drain solenoid valve 2, and whether to perform dehumidification or water removal. For example, if the comparison result is above the upper limit, it means that drainage is required, and the drain solenoid valve 2 can be opened to allow condensate to drain from this outlet. If the comparison result is below the upper limit, it means that drainage is not required, and the drain solenoid valve 2 can remain closed.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The dehumidification system also includes a bypass pipe 9; wherein, the first port of the bypass pipe 9 is connected to the third port 53 of the intake solenoid valve 5; and the second port of the bypass pipe 9 is connected to the third port 63 of the exhaust solenoid valve 6.

[0032] To prevent condensation from continuing even when the condensate level exceeds the upper limit of the condensate storage container 1, thus preventing over-storage of condensate in the container, a bypass pipe 9 can be installed connecting the third port 53 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the third port 63 of the outlet solenoid valve 6. When draining using the drain solenoid valve 2, the inlet solenoid valve 5 connected to the inlet pipe 3 and the outlet solenoid valve 6 connected to the outlet pipe 4 are closed, preventing outside air from entering the condensate storage container 1 and causing condensation. The bypass pipe 9 is then opened to allow air circulation, ensuring normal drainage function.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, the electronic control device 7 is also used to control the valve states of the first port 51 of the intake solenoid valve 5 and the first port 61 of the exhaust solenoid valve 6 to be in the open state when a start command is received.

[0034] The start command can be an electrical signal, program, or code used to instruct the execution of dehumidification, and can be triggered manually or automatically by upstream equipment.

[0035] In this embodiment, the electronic control device 7 enters the working state upon receiving a start command. At this time, it can control the valve states of the first port 51 of the intake solenoid valve 5 and the first port 61 of the exhaust solenoid valve 6 to be open. It can also control the valve states of the second port 52 of the intake solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the exhaust solenoid valve 6 to be open. With these two second ports open, gas enters from the intake port 3, condenses in the liquid storage container 1, and is discharged from the exhaust port 4. It can also control the drain solenoid valve 2 to be closed to prevent leakage when the condensate in the liquid storage container 1 has not reached its upper limit.

[0036] To improve the accuracy of drainage and dehumidification and avoid system malfunctions, the liquid level detection device 8 can monitor in real time whether the condensate level has reached the upper limit. If it has, a drainage start signal should be sent to the electronic control device 7 in a timely manner to start drainage. During the drainage process, the liquid level detection device 8 can also monitor in real time whether the condensate level has reached the lower limit. If it has, a drainage stop signal should be sent to the electronic control device 7 in a timely manner to stop drainage and prevent air leakage from damaging the equipment.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the liquid level detection device 8 is used to determine that the comparison result is that the upper limit of the liquid level has been reached if the condensate liquid level reaches a preset first threshold, and send the comparison result of reaching the upper limit of the liquid level to the electronic control device 7.

[0038] The electronic control device 7 is used to adjust the third port 53 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the third port 63 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 from the closed state to the open state, respectively, and adjust the drain solenoid valve 2 from the closed state to the open state, respectively, when it receives the comparison result of the liquid level detection device 8 indicating that the upper limit of the liquid level has been reached. It also adjusts the second port 52 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 from the open state to the closed state.

[0039] In this embodiment, the liquid level detection device 8 can detect in real time whether the condensate level has reached a preset first threshold. If it has, it indicates that the liquid level in the storage container 1 is too high, triggering an upper limit warning and requiring drainage. The comparison result confirms that the upper limit of the liquid level has been reached, and the comparison result is then sent to the electronic control device 7, i.e., the drainage start signal is fed back to the electronic control device 7. When the electronic control device 7 receives the comparison result from the liquid level detection device 8 indicating that the upper limit of the liquid level has been reached, it opens the third port 53 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the third port 63 of the outlet solenoid valve 6, both connected to the bypass pipe 9. This allows gas to pass through the bypass pipe 9 to maintain normal sampling and measurement operations in the system's gas pipeline, ensuring the accuracy of liquid level monitoring. The drain solenoid valve 2 is opened, and then the second port 52 of the inlet solenoid valve 5, connected to the inlet pipe 3 via a guide pipe, and the second port 62 of the outlet solenoid valve 6, connected to the outlet pipe 4 via a guide pipe, are closed. With the gas passage achieved through the bypass pipe 9 and external gas prevented from entering the liquid storage container 1, the condensate in the liquid storage container 1 is discharged from the valve through the opened drain solenoid valve 2.

[0040] For example, when the condensate level reaches the upper limit, the electronic control device 7 first opens the bypass pipe 9 switch of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the outlet solenoid valve 6. After the bypass pipe 9 is opened normally, the electronic control device 7 controls the drain solenoid valve 2 to drain the condensate in the storage container 1 that has reached the upper limit alarm.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the electronic control device 7 includes: a first timing module and a first control module; wherein,

[0042] The first timing module is used to record the cumulative drainage time when the drain solenoid valve 2 is adjusted from the closed state to the open state. If the cumulative drainage time reaches the preset first time, a first closing command is sent to the first control module.

[0043] The first control module is used to adjust the second port 52 of the intake solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the exhaust solenoid valve 6 from the open state to the closed state when it receives the first closing command sent by the first timing module.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the electronic control device 7 adjusts the drain solenoid valve 2 from the closed state to the open state, the first timing module can be triggered to start timing and record the opening duration of the drain solenoid valve 2 in real time, and this duration is used as the cumulative drainage duration. The cumulative drainage duration is compared with a preset first duration. If the cumulative drainage duration reaches the preset first duration, it means that the external gas inlet and outlet ports can be closed. At this time, a first closing command can be sent to the first control module. When the first control unit receives the first closing command, it can adjust the second port 52 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 from the open state to the closed state, respectively.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the electronic control device 7 is also used to send a comparison command to the liquid level detection device 8 after controlling the opening of the drain solenoid valve 2;

[0046] The liquid level detection device 8 is used to receive the comparison command sent by the electronic control device 7, detect whether the condensate liquid level is not greater than the preset second threshold. If so, the comparison result is determined to be that the liquid level has reached the lower limit, and the comparison result of reaching the lower limit is sent to the electronic control device 7.

[0047] The electronic control device 7 is used to adjust the drain solenoid valve 2 from the open state to the closed state when it receives the comparison result of the liquid level detection device 8 indicating that the liquid level has reached the lower limit, adjust the second port 52 of the air inlet solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the air outlet solenoid valve 6 from the closed state to the open state, and adjust the third port 53 of the air inlet solenoid valve 5 and the third port 63 of the air outlet solenoid valve 6 from the open state to the closed state.

[0048] In this embodiment, after the first control module opens the drain solenoid valve 2, the condensate in the storage container 1 will be discharged through the drain solenoid valve 2, and the amount of condensate in the container will gradually decrease, causing the condensate level to drop accordingly. To close the drain solenoid valve 2 in a timely manner and prevent air leakage at the bottom of the storage container 1, a comparison command can be sent to the level detection device 8 simultaneously after the first control module opens the drain solenoid valve 2. When the level detection device 8 receives the comparison command sent by the electronic control device 7, it can compare the monitored condensate level with a preset second threshold to detect whether the condensate level is not greater than the preset second threshold. If so, it indicates that the condensate level in the storage container 1 has reached the lower limit. At this time, the comparison result of reaching the lower limit can be sent to the electronic control device 7, that is, a signal to stop drainage is fed back to the electronic control device 7. When the electronic control device 7 receives the comparison result of reaching the lower limit, it can control the drain solenoid valve 2 to change from the open state to the closed state, that is, close the drain solenoid valve 2 and stop drainage. Furthermore, the second port 52 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 can be adjusted from the closed state to the open state, allowing outside gas to enter the liquid storage container 1 through the ports to perform the dehumidification function. Furthermore, the third port 53 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the third port 63 of the outlet solenoid valve 6, which are connected to the bypass pipe 9, can be adjusted from the open state to the closed state, i.e., closing the bypass pipe 9 switch to prevent gas from passing through.

[0049] For example, during the drainage process, the liquid level detection device 8 monitors the liquid level in the storage container 1 in real time. When the condensate is drained to the lower limit position and the bottom of the storage container 1 is kept dry, the liquid level detection device 8 sends a lower limit liquid level signal to the electronic control device 7. Upon receiving the lower limit liquid level signal, the electronic control device 7 sends a closing signal to the drainage solenoid valve 2, ending the drainage process. Then, the electronic control device 7 sends a signal to the inlet solenoid three-way valve and the outlet solenoid three-way valve to close the bypass pipeline 9, restoring the normal operation of the gas dehumidification system. The storage container 1 then resumes its normal operation of condensing and storing the connected gas.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the electronic control device 7 includes: a second timing module and a second control module; wherein,

[0051] The second timing module is used to record the drainage closing time when the drain solenoid valve 2 is adjusted from the open state to the closed state, and to send an opening command to the second control module when the drainage closing time reaches a preset second time. When the second port 52 of the air intake solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the air outlet solenoid valve 6 are adjusted from the closed state to the open state, the module records the port opening time. If the port opening time reaches a preset third time, the module sends a second closing command to the second control module.

[0052] The second control module is used to adjust the second port 52 of the intake solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the exhaust solenoid valve 6 from the closed state to the open state when it receives the opening command sent by the second timing module; and to adjust the third port 53 of the intake solenoid valve 5 and the third port 63 of the exhaust solenoid valve 6 from the open state to the closed state when it receives the second closing command sent by the second timing module.

[0053] In practical applications, when the electronic control device 7 adjusts the drain solenoid valve 2 from the open state to the closed state, the second timing module can be triggered to start timing, recording the closing duration of the drain solenoid valve 2 in real time, and using this duration as the drain closing duration. The drain closing duration is compared with a preset second duration. If the drain closing duration reaches the preset second duration, it indicates that the dehumidification function can be activated, allowing outside air to enter the container. At this time, an opening command can be sent to the second control module. When the second control module receives this opening command, it can adjust the second port 52 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 from the closed state to the open state, respectively. When the electronic control device 7 adjusts the second port 52 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the second port 62 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 from the closed state to the open state, the second timing module can be triggered to start timing, recording the opening duration of the ports in real time, and using this duration as the port opening duration. The duration of the port opening is compared with a preset third duration. If the port opening time reaches the preset third duration, it indicates that the bypass pipe 9 can be closed to ensure the effectiveness of dehumidification and allow outside air to enter the container. At this time, a second closing command can be sent to the second control module. Upon receiving the second closing command, the second control module can adjust the third port 53 of the inlet solenoid valve 5 and the third port 63 of the outlet solenoid valve 6 from the open state to the closed state, thereby closing the bypass pipe 9 switch. The advantage of this setting is that by using the timing module to assist the control logic to control each solenoid valve, the safety and effectiveness of system operation are ensured, and the drainage and dehumidification effect is improved.

[0054] The technical solution of this embodiment utilizes a liquid level detection device to detect the condensate level in a storage container, compares the condensate level with a preset liquid level threshold, determines the comparison result, and sends the comparison result that matches the preset result to an electronic control device. Then, when the electronic control device receives the comparison result that matches the preset result, it determines the valve control mode and controls the opening and closing states of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, and drain solenoid valve based on the valve control mode, so as to drain the condensate from the storage container. This solves the problem of high cost, untimely drainage, and poor drainage effect caused by manual drainage in the prior art. This invention addresses the problem by using a liquid level detection device to monitor the condensate level in a storage container in real time. It then compares the condensate level with a preset threshold and sends the comparison result to an electronic control device. The electronic control device then determines the valve control method corresponding to the comparison result. Based on this method, it precisely controls the opening and closing states of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, and drain solenoid valve. This ensures accurate monitoring of the condensate level while improving the timeliness and effectiveness of drainage, reducing costs, and achieving automated drainage and dehumidification.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] As an optional embodiment of the above embodiments, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the dehumidification system provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. For details, please refer to the following specific content.

[0057] like Figure 2As shown, the dehumidification system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an electronic control device, a liquid level detection device, a drain solenoid valve, and a three-way solenoid valve. The three-way solenoid valve includes an inlet three-way solenoid valve and an outlet three-way solenoid valve. In practical applications, the dehumidification system can switch the inlet three-way solenoid valve and the outlet three-way solenoid valve on the condensate in the storage container via the electronic control device, and then open the drain solenoid valve to remove water. Specifically, as needed for the dehumidification equipment piping, an inlet pipe connector (i.e., inlet port) and an outlet pipe connector (i.e., exhaust port) can be connected to the pipeline with accumulated condensate. Gas enters the storage container through the air guide pipe and then through the inlet solenoid three-way valve. After natural condensation in the storage container, the gas enters the normal equipment piping through the air guide pipe and then through the outlet solenoid three-way valve. The liquid level detection device monitors the condensate level in the storage container in real time and feeds the level information back to the electronic control device. When the liquid level detection device reaches the upper limit, the electronic control device receives a signal and first opens the bypass switches of the inlet and outlet solenoid three-way valves. Gas will then flow through the bypass pipeline to maintain normal sampling and measurement operations in the equipment's gas pipeline. Once the bypass pipeline is open, the electronic control device controls the drain solenoid valve to drain the condensate in the storage container that has reached the upper limit alarm. During the drainage process, the liquid level detection device monitors the liquid level in the storage container in real time. When the condensate is drained to the lower limit and water is present at the bottom of the storage container without leakage, the liquid level detection device sends a lower limit liquid level signal to the electronic control device. At this time, the electronic control device sends a close signal to the drain solenoid valve, ending the drainage. Then, the electronic control device sends a close signal to the inlet and outlet solenoid three-way valves to close the bypass pipeline, restoring the normal operation of the gas dehumidification system. The storage container then resumes its normal condensation and storage operation for the connected gas. When the liquid storage container triggers an upper limit alarm again, the dehumidification system can automatically repeat the drainage operation, achieving automated drainage and dehumidification. To handle dehumidification of more equipment pipelines, the dimensions of the entire gas pipeline can be adjusted in different gas pipelines. The overall size and structure of the dehumidification system can be adjusted accordingly based on the space available, meeting the needs of the gas pipelines and equipment for dehumidification and water removal.

[0058] The technical solution of this embodiment utilizes a liquid level detection device to monitor the liquid level in the storage container at any time and promptly performs dehumidification and drainage based on the liquid level. This drainage process does not affect normal test operation, greatly saving test time and costs, reducing equipment failure rates, and ensuring the accuracy of test data. It is also applicable to various types of equipment pipelines requiring gas dehumidification, demonstrating strong practicality and wide versatility. Furthermore, the system structure is simple, easy to install, and improves the universality and convenience of drainage and dehumidification.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] Figure 3This is a flowchart of a dehumidification method according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This method can be applied to the dehumidification system provided in the above embodiments. The dehumidification system includes a drain solenoid valve connected to a first port of a liquid storage container, an intake solenoid valve connected to an intake port, an exhaust solenoid valve connected to an exhaust port, and a liquid level detection device disposed in the liquid storage container and communicating with an electronic control device. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The method may include the following steps:

[0061] S310. The condensate level in the storage container is detected by the liquid level detection device, the condensate level is compared with the preset liquid level threshold, the comparison result is determined, and the comparison result that matches the preset result is sent to the electronic control device.

[0062] The preset liquid level threshold includes a preset first threshold and a preset second threshold; the preset first threshold is greater than the preset second threshold.

[0063] S320. When the electronic control device receives a comparison result from the liquid level detection device that is consistent with the preset result, it determines the valve control mode and controls the opening and closing states of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve and drain solenoid valve based on the valve control mode so that the condensate in the liquid storage container is discharged.

[0064] Based on the above technical solution, optionally, both the intake solenoid valve and the outlet solenoid valve are electromagnetic three-way valves; wherein,

This ensures accurate monitoring of the condensate level while improving the timeliness and effectiveness of drainage, reducing costs, and achieving automated drainage and dehumidification.
