Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent control, in particular to a tank cleaner and an intelligent control system thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries, the cleanliness of the inner wall of the tank directly affects the quality of the products produced. Residual dirt, bacteria or other impurities can cause the quality of the products to decline, and even pose a safety risk. Although cleaning the tank requires some investment, in the long run, by reducing equipment failures, improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality, the overall operating costs can be reduced. The traditional water pressure driven cleaner uses the pressure of water to clean the surface of the object, but the internal structure is complex, easy to crash and damage, and the stability is poor. In addition, the pressure control of the traditional water pressure driven cleaner is not sensitive, and the adjustable range is small.

[0003] The invention patent with application number 201810721727.7 discloses a water jet tank cleaning device, wherein the water jet tank cleaning device comprises a cleaning frame distributed in a fan shape, a mechanical moving part supporting the entire cleaning device and serving as a moving part, and an explosion-proof motor frame connecting the cleaning frame and the mechanical moving part. The cleaning device is connected to an external control center to control the circumferential trajectory of the cleaning frame when it rotates, and to control the longitudinal trajectory of the water jet nozzle on the cleaning frame. At the same time, the cleaning device is connected to an electro-hydraulic supply system to realize cleaning of the inner wall of the entire oil tank. The above-mentioned invention is novel in design, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and has strong practicality, saving manpower, improving cleaning efficiency and reducing work accidents.

[0004] However, the water jet nozzle needs a jet driving device to spray water, and the water pressure is not environmentally friendly if it is too high, and the cleaning is not complete if it is too low, and a second cleaning is needed.

[0071] The intelligent control subsystem 3 is used to intelligently control the tank cleaner based on the target distance parameter set and residual substance estimation information. Specifically, during intelligent control of the tank cleaner, the appropriate operating parameters for the tank cleaner are determined in real time based on the target distance parameter set and residual substance estimation information, and cleaning operations are performed on the target tank based on these appropriate operating parameters.

[0079] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0080] The application introduces distance sensor configuration information and parses a configuration result, and when there is a distance sensor configuration, the target distance parameter set is directly determined according to distance sensor sensing information, otherwise, the target distance parameter set is determined according to a cleaner position setting scheme, and the determination of the target distance parameter set is more reasonable.

[0085] In the case where there is no distance sensor, the distance from the cleaning nozzle to the inner wall of the target tank is calculated according to the setting position of the cleaner. Since the length of the tank cleaner nozzle is fixed when it is not extended, the initial distance parameter set is first determined according to the cleaner position setting scheme and the fixed length part.

[0116] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0117] The substance in the tank changes with the change of the residual time, and the fluidity also changes, for example: before cleaning, the fluidity becomes poor as the residual time becomes longer, and the flushing pressure is larger than the initial state, and when the flushing starts, the flushing pressure gradually decreases, therefore, the application introduces the estimated information of the residual substance to determine the required impact pressure of the target tank side wall and the required impact pressure of the target tank bottom, introduces the time migration characteristics and the residual time to determine the time migration characteristics, and adjusts the required impact pressure of the target tank side wall and the required impact pressure of the target tank bottom based on the time migration characteristics, determines the target pressure based on the comparison result of the real-time adjusted required impact pressure of the target tank bottom and the bottom contact pressure, and adjusts the driving power of the cleaner more timely.

[0119] The working parameter information first determination unit is configured to increase the current impact pressure if the pressure difference is greater than 0, and determine the working parameter information; wherein, if the pressure difference is greater than 0, it indicates that the nozzle flushing pressure is insufficient at this time, and the cleaning pressure needs to be increased in time;

[0120] The working parameter information second determination unit is configured to decrease the current impact pressure if the pressure difference is less than or equal to 0, and determine the working parameter information; wherein, if the pressure difference is greater than 0, it indicates that the nozzle flushing pressure is too large at this time, and the energy consumption is high, and the cleaning pressure needs to be decreased in time.

[0121] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0122] If the flushing pressure is too large, the driving device needs to be driven with higher power, and the energy consumption is high, and if the flushing pressure is too small, the cleaning will not be clean, and subsequent secondary cleaning is required, therefore, the application introduces the pressure difference to make the target pressure close to the most suitable cleaning water pressure in real time, realizes 360° dead angle-free cleaning, and reduces the energy consumption.

If the first side wall expected pressure value is greater than or equal to the target tank side wall required impact pressure, it indicates that the side wall pressure reaches the requirement, and the sum of the current impact pressure and the pressure increase expected value is taken as the target pressure. If the first side wall expected pressure value is less than the target tank side wall required impact pressure, it indicates that the side wall pressure does not meet the requirement, the difference between the target tank side wall required impact pressure and the first side wall expected pressure value is determined to be the amount that needs to be continuously increased, i.e., the subsequent pressure increase expected value, and the sum of the current impact pressure, the pressure increase expected value, and the subsequent pressure increase expected value is taken as the target pressure, thereby improving the suitability of the pressure increasing process.
