Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hydropower technology, and in particular to a control method, device, equipment and storage medium for a roof drainage system. Background Technology

[0002] The top cover drainage system is an essential auxiliary system for hydro-generator units. When the hydro-generator unit is generating or shut down, water may accumulate on the top cover due to reasons such as leakage in the guide vane bushing or leakage between the top cover and the main shaft. At this time, it is necessary to drain the leaking water through the top cover drainage system to prevent excessive water accumulation from flooding the plant and causing unplanned shutdown of the hydro-generator unit.

[0003] Currently, the traditional top-cover drainage system control method uses a float switch as the liquid level control signal source. The magnet inside the float attracts the contacts of the reed switch, generating an opening and closing action to control or indicate the liquid level. However, the float switch is immersed in river water with high silt content for a long time, and the surface of the float and the sliding rod is covered with thick silt, which prevents the float from sliding freely. This makes the control system unreliable and can easily cause the drainage pump to fail to start and stop automatically, which in turn leads to unplanned shutdown of the hydro-generator unit. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a control method, device, equipment, and storage medium for a roof drainage system, in order to solve the problem that the drainage system in the prior art is unreliable and easily causes the drainage pump to fail to start and stop automatically.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] Step S1: In response to the disappearance of the first signal of the normally open pump stop level, determine whether the main pump start level generates a second signal;

[0008] Step S2: If the main pump level generates the second signal, then the main pump in the drain pump is started according to the second signal;

[0009] Step S3: Determine whether the standby pump level generates a third signal;

[0010] Step S4: If the standby pump level generates the third signal, then the standby pump in the drainage pump is started according to the third signal.

[0012] Step S6: If the emergency pump level generates the fourth signal, then the emergency pump in the drain pump is activated according to the fourth signal.

[0013] Step S7: Determine whether the excessively high alarm liquid level generates a fifth signal;

[0014] Step S8: If the excessively high alarm liquid level generates the fifth signal, then the hydro-generator unit is shut down according to the fifth signal.

[0015] As a further improvement of this application, the liquid level sensing assembly further includes a first float sensor fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the top cover.

[0022] If so, then generate a start-up pump signal based on the current master signal level;

[0023] Ignore the third signal and start the standby pump according to the standby pump start signal.

[0024] As a further improvement to this application, after obtaining the sensed liquid level of the first float sensor and using it as the main signal liquid level, the method includes:

[0025] Determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the emergency pump start liquid level and less than the over-high alarm liquid level;

[0026] If so, an emergency pump start signal will be generated based on the current master signal level.

[0027] Ignore the fourth signal and start the emergency pump according to the emergency pump start signal.

[0029] Determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the over-high alarm liquid level;

[0030] If so, a shutdown signal is generated based on the current master signal level;

[0031] Ignore the fifth signal and shut down the hydro-generator unit according to the shutdown signal.

[0032] As a further improvement of this application, the liquid level sensing assembly further includes a second float sensor fixedly mounted on the inner sidewall of the top cover. The second float sensor is located at the same height as the first float sensor and is spaced at a preset distance from the first float sensor. After acquiring the liquid level sensed by the first float sensor and using it as the main signal liquid level, the assembly includes:

[0033] The sensed liquid level of the second float sensor is obtained and used as the secondary signal liquid level;

[0034] Determine whether the height difference between the secondary signal liquid level and the primary signal liquid level is less than a preset threshold.

[0037] Determine whether the main signal liquid level and the secondary signal liquid level exceed the preset range;

[0038] If at least one of the main signal liquid level and the secondary signal liquid level exceeds the preset range, then the main signal liquid level is ignored and steps S1 to S8 are executed.

[0053] This application uses a method of fixing and installing sequentially arranged high-alarm liquid level, emergency pump start liquid level, standby pump start liquid level, main pump start liquid level, and normally open / stop pump liquid level on the top cover. The water level is arranged from low to high, reaching and passing through these levels sequentially, thus generating corresponding liquid level signals. This application strictly follows steps S1 to S8, enabling mutual verification and self-checking between adjacent liquid levels. If a signal is generated that exceeds a certain level (e.g., a third signal is generated at the next lower level than the second signal), it indicates a malfunction in the liquid level sensing component. Compared to existing single float sensors, this application activates different pumps at different liquid levels and shuts down the turbine generator unit when the water level reaches the high-alarm liquid level. This avoids the problem of a single float being locked by sediment, preventing the drainage pump from automatically starting and stopping, and thus causing unplanned shutdowns of the turbine generator unit.

[0061] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an example of a control method for a top cover drainage system. In this embodiment, the top cover drainage system is applied to the drainage pump of a hydro-generator set. The top cover drainage system includes a liquid level sensing component fixedly installed on the side of the top cover of the hydro-generator set adjacent to the water body below. The liquid level sensing component includes, in sequence, the excessively high alarm liquid level, the emergency pump start liquid level, the standby pump start liquid level, the main pump start liquid level, and the normally open and stopped pump liquid level, which are located away from the top cover.

[0063] Preferably, the type of hydro-generator set in this embodiment is an axial-flow hydro turbine.

[0064] Specifically, the axial-flow turbine adopts a conventional design in the existing technology, mainly divided into an embedded part, a water guiding part, and a rotating part. This embodiment does not change the internal structure of the axial-flow turbine, and the structure of the axial-flow turbine is a mature, well-known, and directly obtainable existing technology. This embodiment will not provide a detailed description of the structure of the axial-flow turbine or show the accompanying drawings. In addition, the liquid level sensing component in this embodiment is only installed on the top cover and does not change the structure of the top cover.

[0065] The embedded part mainly includes components such as the volute, seat ring, impeller chamber, and tailrace pipe; the water guiding mechanism mainly includes components such as the bottom ring, top cover, guide vanes, control ring, relay, guide vane transmission components, and support cover; the rotating part mainly includes components such as the impeller, main shaft, water guide bearing, main shaft seal, operating oil pipe, and oil receiver.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the liquid level sensing component is installed on the side of the top cover adjacent to the impeller. The liquid level sensing component includes an over-high alarm liquid level that gradually moves away from the top cover, an emergency pump start liquid level, a standby pump start liquid level, a main pump start liquid level, and a normally open / stop pump liquid level. It can be understood that the normally open / stop pump liquid level is closest to the water body. In actual application, the normally open / stop pump liquid level is immersed in the water body for a long time.

[0067] Specifically, the control method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S1: In response to the disappearance of the first signal of the normally open pump stop level, determine whether the main pump start level generates a second signal.

[0069] Preferably, since the normally open pump stop level is in the normally open state when not in operation, it switches to the closed state after the normally open pump stop level comes into contact with the water.

[0070] Step S2: If the main pump level generates a second signal, then the main pump in the drain pump is started according to the second signal.

[0071] Step S3: Determine whether the standby pump level generates a third signal.

[0072] Step S4: If the standby pump level generates a third signal, then start the standby pump in the drainage pump according to the third signal.

[0073] Step S5: Determine whether the emergency pump level generates a fourth signal.

[0074] Step S6: If the emergency pump level generates a fourth signal, then the emergency pump in the drain pump is activated according to the fourth signal.

[0075] Step S7: Determine whether the high alarm liquid level generates a fifth signal.

[0076] Step S8: If the alarm liquid level is too high and a fifth signal is generated, the turbine generator set is shut down according to the fifth signal.

[0077] It should be noted that in order to achieve the mutual verification and self-testing functions of the above five liquid levels, steps S1 to S8 need to be strictly executed in sequence during actual application. By utilizing the continuous characteristics of water, the start and stop functions of different pumps can be realized when the water passes through the above five liquid levels in sequence.

[0078] Furthermore, in practical applications, after multiple fault simulations of the above five liquid level detections, the following defects exist: (1) When the pump stop liquid level signal disappears, the main pump start liquid level signal exists, the drain pump starts, the top cover liquid level drops until the pump stop liquid level is reached, and the drain pump stops. If the main pump start liquid level signal does not disappear with the drop in liquid level, but remains, the drain pump will start when the pump stop liquid level signal disappears with the rise in liquid level, resulting in the frequent switching of the drain pump's start and stop. (2) When the pump stop liquid level signal disappears, the main pump start liquid level signal exists, the drain pump starts, and the top cover liquid level drops. If the pump stop liquid level signal continues to disappear at this time, the drain pump will continue to start, resulting in the drain pump being unable to stop automatically.

[0079] After analyzing the above-mentioned faults, it was concluded that the root cause of the frequent alternation of the drainage pump's start and stop and the failure of the top cover drainage system to automatically stop the pump after reaching the stop water level was the float switch being immersed in river water with a high silt content for a long time. The float and slide rod were covered with a thick layer of silt, which prevented the float from sliding freely. As a result, the liquid level signals for starting and stopping the main pump could not change with the liquid level.

[0080] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, the liquid level sensing assembly in this embodiment further includes a first float sensor fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the top cover. The first float sensor is located below the normally open / stopped pump liquid level. Therefore, after step S2, the following steps are also included:

[0081] Step S10: Obtain the liquid level sensed by the first float sensor and use it as the main signal liquid level.

[0082] Step S11: Determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the main pump start liquid level and less than the standby pump start liquid level; if the main signal liquid level is greater than the main pump start liquid level and less than the standby pump start liquid level, then proceed to step S12.

[0083] Step S12: Generate a main pump start signal based on the current main signal liquid level.

[0084] Step S13: Ignore the second signal and start the main pump according to the main pump start signal.

[0085] Furthermore, after step S10, the following steps are also included:

[0086] Step S20: Determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the standby pump liquid level and less than the emergency pump liquid level; if the main signal liquid level is greater than the standby pump liquid level and less than the emergency pump liquid level, then proceed to step S21.

[0087] Step S21: Generate a standby pump start signal based on the current master signal liquid level.

[0088] Step S22: Ignore the third signal and start the standby pump according to the standby pump start signal.

[0089] Furthermore, after step S10, the following steps are also included:

[0090] Step S30: Determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the emergency pump start liquid level and less than the over-high alarm liquid level; if the main signal liquid level is greater than the emergency pump start liquid level and less than the over-high alarm liquid level, then proceed to step S31.

[0091] Step S31: Generate an emergency pump start signal based on the current master signal liquid level.

[0092] Step S32: Ignore the fourth signal and start the emergency pump according to the emergency pump start signal.

[0093] Furthermore, after step S10, the following steps are also included:

[0094] Step S40: Determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the over-high alarm liquid level; if the main signal liquid level is greater than the over-high alarm liquid level, then proceed to step S41.

[0095] Step S41: Generate a shut-off signal based on the current main signal liquid level.

[0096] Step S42: Ignore the fifth signal and shut down the hydro-generator unit according to the shutdown signal.

[0097] Preferably, the extension steps in this embodiment, from step S10 to step S42, are all based on the redundant control of the five liquid levels. When one or more of the five liquid levels fail, steps S10 to S42 are used, and the first to fifth signals are ignored. That is, the priority of the first float sensor is higher than that of the five liquid levels.

[0098] Furthermore, the liquid level sensing assembly also includes a second float sensor fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the top cover. The second float sensor is located at the same height as the first float sensor and is spaced at a preset distance from the first float sensor.

[0099] Preferably, in a conventional axial-flow turbine, the top cover is annular in shape, and the aforementioned support cover is provided at the center of the top cover. This structure is also a conventional structure of an axial-flow turbine. The purpose of this preferred embodiment is to point out that there are several protrusions (or partitions) arranged in a ring around the central axis of the top cover on the inner ring wall. These protrusions are also a conventional design of axial-flow turbines. In this embodiment, the first float sensor and the second float sensor are respectively installed in the two partitions closest to the liquid level sensing component.

[0100] Preferably, the lowest of the five liquid levels, the normally open and normally closed pump level, is 5 cm higher than the first float sensor and the second float sensor.

[0101] After acquiring the sensed liquid level from the first float sensor and using it as the main signal liquid level, the process includes:

[0102] The liquid level sensed by the second float sensor is obtained and used as the secondary signal liquid level.

[0103] Determine whether the height difference between the secondary signal liquid level and the primary signal liquid level is less than a preset threshold.

[0104] If not, ignore the main signal level and proceed to steps S1 to S8.

[0105] Further, the sensed liquid level of the second float sensor is acquired and used as the secondary signal liquid level, followed by:

[0106] Determine whether the main signal liquid level and the secondary signal liquid level exceed the preset range.

[0107] If at least one of the main signal level and the secondary signal level exceeds the preset range, the main signal level is ignored and steps S1 to S8 are executed.

[0108] Preferably, see Figure 2 The design intent of this embodiment is to: add analog control functionality, using the original analog signal 1 (float-type liquid level sensor 1, i.e., the first float-type liquid level sensor) as the main control signal, the original analog signal 2 (float-type liquid level sensor 2, i.e., the first float-type liquid level sensor) as the comparison signal, and adding a new analog signal (submersible liquid level sensor) as the monitoring and display signal. The original switch signal (five liquid level float switches) is used as a backup control signal. Two digital displays and two signal isolators are added inside the external top cover drainage control cabinet, namely digital display 1 and digital display 2, and isolator 1. And isolator 2; float-type liquid level sensor 1 serves as the main control signal, and two signals are led out through signal isolator 1. One signal is sent to the controller (PLC) as the main control signal, and the other signal is sent to digital display 1 for intuitive display; float-type liquid level sensor 2 serves as the comparison signal, and two signals are led out through signal isolator 2. One signal is sent to the controller (PLC) as the comparison signal, and the other signal is sent to digital display 2 to compare with digital display 1 as reference data; a new submersible liquid level sensor analog signal is sent to the monitoring system for upper computer display, and a new analog and digital quantity switching handle is added.

[0109] Preferably, according to the above design intent, the analog signal input by the original float-type liquid level sensor 1 is defaulted to the main signal, and the analog signal input by the original float-type liquid level sensor 2 is the backup signal. The digital signal is selected as the main signal when the following conditions occur:

[0110] ① The main signal is outside the range (range: 0mm-600mm).

[0111] ② When the difference between the main and backup analog signals is large (difference > 100 mm) and the switch signal for starting the backup pump level is present.

[0112] ③ When the main analog signal has poor quality.

[0113] ④ When manually switching to on / off control.

[0114] The pump is stopped, started, standby pump started, emergency pump started, and high-level alarm level are determined based on the main signal water level. The pump is started and stopped using the main signal.

[0115] Main pump start conditions: The main signal liquid level is greater than the pump stop liquid level and the main pump start liquid level (pump stop liquid level: 60; main pump start liquid level: 170);

[0116] Standby pump start-up conditions: The main signal liquid level is greater than the pump stop liquid level and the standby pump start-up liquid level (standby pump start-up liquid level: 260);

[0117] Emergency pump start conditions: The main signal level is greater than the pump stop level and the emergency pump start level (emergency pump start level: 350);

[0118] High liquid level alarm condition: The main signal liquid level is greater than the high liquid level alarm level (alarm level: 440).

[0119] In summary, after the above optimizations, this embodiment achieves the following optimization results in practical applications:

[0120] ① Improved reliability of control signals effectively solves problems such as frequent start-stop cycles of drainage pumps and the inability of the top cover drainage system to automatically stop pumps after reaching the stop water level: After the system upgrade, analog signals are used as the main control signals. The advantages of analog signals over digital signals are high reliability and visibility. The float level gauge uses a magnetic float as the measuring element. Through magnetic coupling, the resistance inside the sensor changes linearly. The intelligent converter converts the resistance change into a 4-20mA standard current signal, which is then sent to a digital display to convert into a liquid level value for intuitive display. It can also be sent to the controller to realize automatic detection, control and recording of liquid level.

[0121] ② The reliability of the top cover drainage system has been improved. The modified top cover drainage system has a dual control signal switching mode, which can switch between analog and digital signals. When the analog signal fails, it can switch to digital signal control. To improve the reliability of the digital signal, we adjusted the installation position of the float switch to be slightly higher than the float-type liquid level sensor. This way, the float of the float switch will not be immersed in the river water for a long time, greatly improving the reliability of the digital signal, thereby greatly improving the reliability and stability of the top cover drainage system.

[0122] ③ Improved accuracy of top cover liquid level recording: The newly added submersible liquid level sensor has a range of 0-3m and sends monitoring and display signals. This is 2.38m higher than the range of the original float-type liquid level sensor (0-0.62m). Even if the liquid level on the top cover exceeds the upper limit of the float-type liquid level sensor, the monitoring system can still accurately record the liquid level on the top cover.

[0123] ④ Improved visibility of top cover liquid level, allowing on-site operation to see the actual liquid level: In this optimization, we added two digital displays to the panel of the top cover drainage control cabinet, which can display the real height of the top cover liquid level in real time. Even when the drainage pump is switched to manual operation, the operating status of the drainage pump can be adjusted according to the liquid level displayed on the digital displays, thereby reducing the risk of the drainage pump burning out due to excessively low liquid level.

[0124] This embodiment uses four levels of liquid level sensors fixed on the top cover: an over-high alarm level, an emergency pump start level, a standby pump start level, a main pump start level, and a normally open / stop pump level, which are located far away from the top cover. The water level is raised from low to high and passes through these levels in sequence, generating corresponding liquid level signals. This application strictly follows steps S1 to S8 to ensure that adjacent liquid levels can verify and self-check each other. If a signal is generated for a level that exceeds the required level (e.g., a third signal is generated at the next lower level than the second signal), it indicates that the liquid level sensing component of this application has malfunctioned. Compared to the existing single float, this application activates different pumps at different liquid levels and shuts down the turbine generator set when the water level reaches the over-high alarm level. This avoids the problem of a single float being locked by sediment, causing the drainage pump to fail to start and stop automatically, which in turn leads to unplanned shutdown of the turbine generator set.

[0125] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a control device for a roof drainage system.

[0128] The liquid level acquisition module is used to acquire the liquid level sensed by the first float sensor and use it as the main signal liquid level; the liquid level judgment module is used to determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the main pump start liquid level and less than the standby pump start liquid level; the signal generation module is used to generate a main pump start signal based on the current main signal liquid level if the main signal liquid level is greater than the main pump start liquid level and less than the standby pump start liquid level; the signal execution module is used to ignore the second signal and start the main pump based on the main pump start signal.

[0129] Furthermore, the liquid level judgment module is also used to determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the standby pump liquid level and less than the emergency pump liquid level; the signal generation module is also used to generate a standby pump signal based on the current main signal liquid level if the main signal liquid level is greater than the standby pump liquid level and less than the emergency pump liquid level; the signal execution module is also used to ignore the third signal and start the standby pump based on the standby pump signal.

[0130] Furthermore, the liquid level judgment module is also used to determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the emergency pump start liquid level and less than the over-high alarm liquid level; the signal generation module is also used to generate an emergency pump start signal based on the current main signal liquid level if the main signal liquid level is greater than the emergency pump start liquid level and less than the over-high alarm liquid level; the signal execution module is also used to ignore the fourth signal and start the emergency pump based on the emergency pump start signal.

[0131] Furthermore, the liquid level judgment module is also used to determine whether the main signal liquid level is greater than the over-high alarm liquid level; the signal generation module is also used to generate a shutdown signal based on the current main signal liquid level if the main signal liquid level is greater than the over-high alarm liquid level; the signal execution module is also used to ignore the fifth signal and shut down the hydro-generator unit based on the shutdown signal.

[0132] Furthermore, the liquid level acquisition module is also used to acquire the liquid level sensed by the second float sensor and use it as the secondary signal liquid level; the liquid level judgment module is also used to judge whether the height difference between the secondary signal liquid level and the main signal liquid level is less than a preset threshold; the signal execution module is also used to ignore the main signal liquid level and execute the signal acquisition and judgment first module, the main pump start module, the signal acquisition and judgment second module, the standby pump start module, the signal acquisition and judgment third module, the emergency pump start module, the signal acquisition and judgment fourth module, and the turbine generator set shutdown module in sequence if the height difference between the secondary signal liquid level and the main signal liquid level is not less than the preset threshold.

[0134] It should be noted that this embodiment is a device embodiment based on the above method embodiment. For the extensions, optimizations, limitations and practical operations of the above method embodiment, this device embodiment will not repeat them. For the relevant extensions, optimizations, limitations and practical operations, please refer to the above method embodiment.

[0135] This embodiment uses four levels of liquid level sensors fixed on the top cover: an over-high alarm level, an emergency pump start level, a standby pump start level, a main pump start level, and a normally open / stop pump level, which are located far away from the top cover. The water level is raised from low to high and passes through these levels in sequence, generating corresponding liquid level signals. This application strictly follows steps S1 to S8 to ensure that adjacent liquid levels can verify and self-check each other. If a signal is generated for a level that exceeds the required level (e.g., a third signal is generated at the next lower level than the second signal), it indicates that the liquid level sensing component of this application has malfunctioned. Compared to the existing single float, this application activates different pumps at different liquid levels and shuts down the turbine generator set when the water level reaches the over-high alarm level. This avoids the problem of a single float being locked by sediment, causing the drainage pump to fail to start and stop automatically, which in turn leads to unplanned shutdown of the turbine generator set.
