Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sterilizer condensate treatment technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent control device for the circulation, disinfection, and utilization of sterilizer condensate. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional sterilizers generate a large amount of condensate during operation, which is directly discharged into the sewer system, wasting valuable water resources and potentially polluting the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle the condensate discharged from the sterilizer, configuring a recycling system that integrates condensate collection, filtration, purification, disinfection, and storage. This sterilization method achieves automatic collection, filtration, purification, disinfection, and storage of condensate. However, real-time monitoring and data analysis of water quality are not possible, especially during the circulation process, making it difficult to guarantee that the water quality consistently meets the cleaning requirements for medical devices.

[0003] In view of this, this application proposes an intelligent control device for the circulation and disinfection of condensate from a sterilizer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention proposes an intelligent control device for the circulation and disinfection of condensate from a sterilizer.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention proposes an intelligent control sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization device, comprising two parallel closed cavities, namely a filtration and purification box and a disinfection and sterilization box;

[0006] The top of the filtration and purification box is equipped with a water inlet collection terminal that can collect water inlet information. Based on the control interaction module, the condensate water is controlled to enter the filtration and purification box in an orderly manner. After being purified and filtered through multiple layers in the filtration and purification box, the water is cooled into purified water. The purified water is then sterilized in the disinfection and sterilization box, and the target water quality information after disinfection is monitored in real time. The purified water that meets the output water quality conditions is output to the water storage tank through the disinfection drain. The water level information in the water storage tank and the water inlet information from the water inlet collection terminal are correlated and analyzed by the control interaction module to generate different water control strategies.

[0007] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filtration and purification box includes a primary filtration unit disposed at the bottom of the box. Steam filtered by the primary filtration unit enters the internal circulation filtration unit through a pipe. The internal circulation filtration unit is a threaded pipe that is coiled in the middle of the filtration and purification box. After being circulated and purified by the internal circulation filtration unit, it enters the secondary filtration unit for further purification. After three layers of filtration, the cooled purified water is output from the condensate output unit and enters the disinfection and sterilization box through a check valve.

[0008] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the primary filtration unit is provided with an absorbent solution at the bottom of the filtration and purification box, and a reverse spray device is provided at the bottom of the box. The spray area of ​​the reverse spray device includes an internal circulation filtration unit.

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inlet of the internal circulation filtration unit corresponds to the bottom of the filtration and purification box, and a heat exchanger is provided at the tail of the internal circulation filtration unit. A secondary filtration unit is provided at the outlet of the heat exchanger. The secondary filtration unit includes multiple layers of equally spaced biofilm components.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the disinfection and sterilization box includes multiple main pipeline disinfection units and parallel pre-pipeline disinfection units disposed inside the box body. The main pipeline disinfection units and the pre-pipeline disinfection units are respectively connected to a water quality monitoring unit. The water quality monitoring unit is connected to a water storage tank and the pre-pipeline disinfection units through a disinfection drain outlet. The main pipeline disinfection units and the pre-pipeline disinfection units are inclinedly arranged on the diagonal of the box body. An ultraviolet sterilization unit is disposed at the top of the vertical line perpendicular to the diagonal of the disinfection and sterilization box, and a water storage tank is disposed at the bottom of the vertical line perpendicular to the diagonal of the disinfection and sterilization box. The water storage tank has a built-in liquid level sensor for detecting water level information.

[0011] A second aspect of the present invention provides an intelligent control system for the circulation, disinfection, and utilization of condensate from a sterilizer, based on the implementation of the first aspect, comprising a data acquisition module and a control interaction module; the modules are connected via wired and / or wireless means to achieve data transmission between the modules;

[0012] The data acquisition module collects in-real-time inlet water information and target water quality information detected in the disinfection and sterilization chamber based on the inlet water acquisition terminal. The inlet water information includes the drainage flow rate of each sterilizer and the initial water quality information. The inlet water information and target water quality information are then sent to the control interaction module.

[0013] The control and interaction module initially identifies abnormalities in the sterilizer's drainage flow rate within a preset time; it uses a deep learning model to predict the target water quality information based on the initial water quality information and the target water quality information, and generates different water control strategies based on the target water quality information and water level information.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the identification logic for the abnormal situation is as follows:

[0015] Within a preset time period, the number of collection points for the sterilizer drainage flow rate corresponding to each sterilizer; the percentage of abnormal collection points for the sterilizer drainage flow rate within the preset time period compared to the total number of collection points is marked as the abnormal percentage.

[0016] If the abnormal percentage is within the preset abnormal percentage range, it means that the current sterilizer drainage flow rate is normal and there is no abnormality in the corresponding sterilizer.

[0017] If the abnormal percentage is not within the preset abnormal percentage range, it indicates that the current sterilizer drainage flow rate is abnormal, and an alarm will be triggered directly through the control interaction module.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the generation logic of the water control strategy is as follows:

[0019] Based on the division and marking of the corresponding equipment processing stages in the filter purification box and the disinfection and sterilization box as water treatment stages, multiple water treatment stages are set up in a process-oriented manner to form a purification and disinfection working mode.

[0020] A deep learning model is constructed based on the purification and disinfection working mode. The initial water quality information is used as the input factor of the deep learning model, and the target water quality information is used as the output factor of the deep learning model.

[0021] The difference between the target water quality information and the desired target water quality information is analyzed to obtain a first difference, and a water control strategy is generated based on the first difference; the water control strategy includes low-speed control command, normal control command and high-speed control command.

[0022] If the first difference is less than the minimum value of the expected difference range, and the water level information is lower than the high water level threshold, then the control interaction module issues a high-speed control command.

[0023] If the first difference is within the expected difference range and the water level information is lower than the high water level threshold, the control interaction module will issue a normal control command.

[0024] If the first difference is not greater than the maximum value of the expected difference range, and the water level information is not lower than the high water level threshold, then the control interaction module issues normal control commands and fault repair commands.

[0025] If the first difference is greater than the maximum value of the expected difference range, the control interaction module issues a low-speed control command and a fault repair command, and opens the preparatory pipeline disinfection unit.

[0026] A third aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a computer program that can be called by the processor;

[0027] The processor executes the intelligent control sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization device by calling the computer program stored in the memory.

[0028] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that it stores instructions that, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to execute the intelligent control sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization system.

[0029] The technical effects and advantages of the intelligent control sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization device of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] This invention adopts a modular design, which is easy to install and maintain. By recycling the condensate produced by the sterilizer, wastewater discharge is reduced, which is beneficial to environmental protection. At the same time, through the optimized management of the intelligent control system, the operating parameters of each system can be automatically adjusted according to actual needs, which improves work efficiency and cleaning effect, reduces energy consumption, and has fault diagnosis and alarm functions, making it convenient to detect and solve problems in a timely manner.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent control sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization device, which includes two parallel closed cavities, namely a filter purification box 200 and a disinfection and sterilization box 300.

[0040] It should be noted that the functions and effects of the sterilizers currently on the market are all intact, but their treatment of condensate is not perfect. In this case, a more appropriate approach is to expand the equipment based on the existing sterilizer without affecting its normal operation. Therefore, the filter purification box 200 and the disinfection and sterilization box 300 are set in a horizontal form to minimize the volume of the condensate circulation and disinfection utilization device and to a certain extent weaken the impact of the condensate circulation and disinfection utilization device.

[0041] The top of the filtration and purification box 200 is equipped with a water inlet collection terminal 250 for collecting water inlet information. Based on the control interaction module 400, the condensate water is controlled to enter the filtration and purification box 200 in an orderly manner, which can avoid overflow or ineffective purification due to excessive water intake and the subsequent disinfection effect. After being purified and filtered by multiple layers of the filtration and purification box 200, the water is cooled into purified water, removing impurities, suspended solids, microorganisms, etc. from the condensate water. The high-temperature condensate water vapor is cooled to generate purified water. The purified water is then sterilized by the disinfection and sterilization box 300 to remove residual microorganisms and bacteria, improving the hygiene and safety of the water quality. The target water quality information after disinfection is monitored in real time. The purified water that meets the output water quality conditions is output from the disinfection drain outlet 350 to the water storage tank 360. The water level information in the water storage tank 360 and the water inlet information of the water inlet collection terminal 250 are correlated and analyzed by the control interaction module 400 to generate different water control strategies.

[0042] It should be noted that the water inlet acquisition terminal 250 described in this embodiment can collect water inlet information in real time. The water inlet information includes the drainage flow rate of each sterilizer and the initial water quality information. The initial water quality information includes the purity of the inlet water, the proportion of microorganisms in the inlet water, the proportion of harmful substances in the inlet water, the pH value of the inlet water, and the temperature value of the inlet water. The flow rate of the condensate discharged from the sterilizer under the same environment is fixed. If there is an abnormality in the drainage flow rate of the sterilizer, it is necessary to determine whether this abnormality is normal. If it is not normal, it is necessary to carry out early warning processing.

[0043] The purity of the influent, the proportion of microorganisms in the influent, the proportion of harmful substances in the influent, the pH value of the influent, and the temperature value of the influent are marked as the initial water quality information in the current influent collection terminal 250; therefore, the water quality information detected in the disinfection and sterilization box 300 is the target water quality information, which includes the purity of the effluent, the proportion of microorganisms in the effluent, the proportion of harmful substances in the effluent, the pH value of the effluent, and the temperature value of the effluent;

[0044] The control interaction module 400 uses deep learning to obtain purification information from the filtration and purification box 200 and the disinfection and sterilization box 300; it also analyzes the water level information in the water storage tank 360 to generate different water control strategies. This effectively utilizes condensate water, reducing water waste. Simultaneously, by precisely controlling the entry and treatment of condensate water, energy consumption can be reduced. Intelligent management through the control interaction module 400 ensures efficient and stable system operation, making it widely applicable in hospitals, laboratories, food processing plants, and other places requiring high-quality water supply.

[0045] It is important to note that the water quality detection in the intelligent control sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization device described in this embodiment should be evaluated regularly to ensure the accuracy of the acquired data, avoid incorrect guidance of the control interaction module 400, and ensure the stability and safety of the output water quality.

[0046] in:

[0047] The filtration and purification box 200 includes a primary filtration unit 210 located at the bottom of the box. Steam filtered by the primary filtration unit 210 enters the internal circulation filtration unit 220 through a pipe. The internal circulation filtration unit 220 is a threaded pipe that is coiled in the middle of the filtration and purification box 200. After being circulated and purified by the internal circulation filtration unit 220, it enters the secondary filtration unit 230 for further purification. After three layers of filtration, the cooled purified water is output from the condensate output unit 240 and enters the disinfection and sterilization box 300 through a check valve.

[0048] It should be noted that in the prior art, the multi-layer filtration of the filter purification box 200 is generally limited to a certain form of filtration, such as physical filtration (e.g., sand and gravel filter layer to remove large particulate impurities), chemical filtration (e.g., activated carbon adsorption of organic matter), and biological filtration (e.g., biofilm to remove microorganisms and ammonia nitrogen). However, in practical applications and experimental studies, it has been found that physical filtration is always used throughout the experiment. In the first-stage filtration unit 210, chemical filtration is mainly used. An absorbent solution is placed at the bottom of the filter purification box 200, and a reverse spray device is installed at the bottom of the box to increase the contact area between the absorbent solution and the high-temperature condensed water vapor, absorb impurities and harmful substances in the high-temperature condensed water vapor, and initially adjust the pH value.

[0049] Although the primary filter unit 210 can indeed achieve the above functions, in actual operation, due to the excessively fast flow rate of the high-temperature condensate vapor, it cannot be guaranteed that the high-temperature condensate vapor can completely react with the primary filter unit 210. Therefore, an internal circulation filter unit 220 is set in the middle of the housing. The internal circulation filter unit 220 is equivalent to setting up multiple obstacles to reduce the flow rate of the high-temperature condensate vapor. Furthermore, the back spray device acts on the internal circulation filter unit 220 to cool it down, so that some of the high-temperature condensate vapor remains in the primary filter unit 210 after cooling down, increasing the reaction time between the high-temperature condensate vapor and the primary filter unit 210 and reducing the temperature value of the high-temperature condensate vapor. In order to ensure that the temperature value of the high-temperature condensate vapor reaches the expected effect, a heat exchanger is set at the tail of the secondary filter unit 230 to avoid unnecessary damage to subsequent equipment caused by the high-temperature condensate vapor.

[0050] The secondary filtration unit 230 mainly adopts biological filtration and is equipped with multiple layers of biofilm. It is a commonly used biological filtration component on the market. Due to the special application scenario of this embodiment, the biological filtration component is fixed in a detachable manner for easy replacement.

[0051] It should be noted that the biofilm material is selected from high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure stability and filtration efficiency even under high-temperature steam environments. When designing a multi-layer biofilm structure, sufficient spacing should be ensured between each layer to reduce the chance of direct steam contact with the biofilm, minimize the direct impact of high-temperature steam on the biofilm, and ensure timely drainage of condensate to prevent its accumulation within the filtration unit and subsequent temperature rise.

[0052] The disinfection and sterilization box 300 includes multiple main pipe disinfection units 310 and parallel-connected pre-pipe disinfection units 320 disposed inside the box. The main pipe disinfection units 310 and the pre-pipe disinfection units 320 are respectively connected to a water quality monitoring unit 340. The water quality monitoring unit 340 is connected to a water storage tank 360 and the pre-pipe disinfection units 320 through a disinfection drain outlet 350. The main pipe disinfection units 310 and the pre-pipe disinfection units 320 are inclined and arranged diagonally on the box body, which helps to optimize water flow and disinfection efficiency. An ultraviolet sterilization unit 330 is provided at the top of the vertical line of the diagonal of the disinfection and sterilization box 300 to ensure that the water is irradiated with ultraviolet light before flowing out, further killing any possible residual microorganisms. A water storage tank 360 is provided at the bottom of the vertical line of the diagonal of the disinfection and sterilization box 300, which facilitates the reception of water discharged from the disinfection drain outlet 350 and makes reasonable use of space and resources. The water storage tank 360 has a built-in liquid level sensor for detecting water level information. The control interaction module 400 generates an intelligent water control strategy based on water level and water quality information.

[0053] For example, when the water level in the storage tank 360 is too high, the flow rate of purified water entering the disinfection and sterilization tank 300 can be reduced or stopped; when the water quality monitoring unit 340 detects that the water quality does not meet the standards, it can switch to the pre-disinfection pipeline unit 320 or trigger an alarm.

[0054] This design not only ensures the effectiveness of water disinfection, but also improves the reliability and safety of the system through multiple monitoring and backup measures.

[0055] It should be noted that the use of the backup pipeline disinfection unit 320 serves two purposes: first, to maintain the use of the existing main pipeline disinfection unit 310; and second, to provide backup disinfection capacity when the main pipeline disinfection unit 310 malfunctions or requires maintenance. Therefore, a converter is installed at the connection between the main pipeline disinfection unit 310 and the backup pipeline disinfection unit 320 to determine the flow direction of the condensate.

[0056] The main pipeline disinfection unit 310 and the backup pipeline disinfection unit 320 are configured identically, both responsible for disinfection and sterilization. After disinfection and sterilization, the water quality is tested. If the requirements are met, the main pipeline disinfection unit 310 discharges the treated water into the storage tank 360 through the disinfection drain outlet 350. The water quality monitoring unit 340 is located at the drain outlet to ensure that the water discharged into the storage tank 360 meets the predetermined water quality standards.

[0057] Both the filtration and purification box 200 and the disinfection and sterilization box 300 are equipped with water inlets and outlets, and control valves are respectively installed at the water inlets and outlets. The control interaction module controls the water control strategy of the condensate in the filtration and purification box 200 and the disinfection and sterilization box 300 through the control valves.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Please see Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the parts not described in detail in this embodiment are described in Embodiment 1. A smart control sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization system is provided, including a data acquisition module 100 and a control interaction module 400; the above modules are connected by wired and / or wireless means to realize data transmission between modules;

[0060] The data acquisition module 100 collects in real time inlet water information and target water quality information detected in the disinfection and sterilization box 300 based on the inlet water acquisition terminal 250. The inlet water information includes the drainage flow rate of each sterilizer and the initial water quality information. The inlet water information and the target water quality information are then sent to the control interaction module 400.

[0061] The data acquisition module 100 includes a sterilization coding unit 110, an inlet water acquisition unit 120, a purification acquisition unit 130, and a disinfection acquisition unit 140.

[0062] The sterilization coding unit 110 encodes and marks the sterilizers connected to the water inlet collection end 250, associates the marked sterilizers with the corresponding water inlet end, and receives the sterilizer drainage flow rate of condensate entering the water inlet end in real time from different sterilizers.

[0063] The inlet end acquisition unit 120 collects the initial water quality information within the inlet acquisition end 250 in real time;

[0064] The purification data acquisition unit 130 collects the working power and heat exchanger power of the reverse spray equipment in real time.

[0065] Disinfection data collection unit 140 collects target water quality information in real time;

[0066] The control interaction module 400 initially identifies abnormalities in the sterilizer's drainage flow rate within a preset time; it uses a deep learning model to predict the target water quality information based on the initial water quality information and the target water quality information, and generates different water control strategies based on the target water quality information and the water level information.

[0067] The logic for identifying the abnormal situation is as follows:

[0068] Within a preset time period, the number of collection points for the sterilizer drainage flow rate corresponding to each sterilizer; the percentage of abnormal collection points for the sterilizer drainage flow rate within the preset time period compared to the total number of collection points is marked as the abnormal percentage.

[0069] If the abnormal percentage is within the preset abnormal percentage range, it means that the current sterilizer drainage flow rate is normal and there is no abnormality in the corresponding sterilizer.

[0070] If the abnormal percentage is not within the preset abnormal percentage range, it indicates that the current sterilizer drainage flow rate is abnormal, and the alarm will be handled directly through the control interaction module 400.

[0071] The generation logic of the water control strategy is as follows:

[0072] Based on the division and marking of the corresponding equipment processing stages in the filter purification box 200 and the disinfection and sterilization box 300 as water treatment stages, multiple water treatment stages are set up in a process-oriented manner to form a purification and disinfection working mode.

[0073] A deep learning model is constructed based on the purification and disinfection working mode. The initial water quality information is used as the input factor of the deep learning model, and the target water quality information is used as the output factor of the deep learning model.

[0074] The difference between the target water quality information and the desired target water quality information is analyzed to obtain a first difference value, and a water control strategy is generated based on the first difference value. The water control strategy includes a low-speed control command, a normal control command, and a high-speed control command. That is, the sterilizer drainage flow rate corresponding to the high-speed control command is greater than the sterilizer drainage flow rate corresponding to the normal control command, and the sterilizer drainage flow rate corresponding to the normal control command is greater than the sterilizer drainage flow rate corresponding to the low-speed control command.

[0075] If the first difference is less than the minimum value of the expected difference range, and the water level information is lower than the high water level threshold, then the target water quality information of the current water treatment stage is higher than expected, that is, the purification and disinfection effect is very good, and the water storage space in the water tank 360 is sufficient. Then the control interaction module 400 issues a high-speed control command to control the high-speed operation of the purification and disinfection working mode based on the equipment control parameters, thereby reducing the amount of disinfectant used, shortening the disinfection time, or adjusting the filtration parameters.

[0076] If the first difference is within the expected difference range and the water level information is lower than the high water level threshold, it means that the target water quality information of the current water treatment stage is completely consistent with or very close to the expectation, the water level information is in an ideal state, and it is only necessary to maintain the status quo and no water control treatment is required. Then the control interaction module 400 issues a normal control command.

[0077] If the first difference is not greater than the maximum value of the expected difference range, and the water level information is not lower than the high water level threshold, then the target water quality information of the current water treatment stage is in a good state compared with the expected target water quality information, that is, the purification and disinfection effect is good. However, the water storage space in the water storage tank 360 is insufficient, that is, the sterilizer drains too fast, and the sterilizer may be faulty. In this case, the control interaction module 400 issues normal control instructions and fault repair instructions. Before investigating the cause of the fault, the current water control status is set to avoid greater losses.

[0078] If the first difference is greater than the maximum value of the expected difference range, then the target water quality information of the current water treatment stage is lower than expected. Regardless of whether the water level information is lower than the high water level threshold, the equipment operating parameters need to be adjusted to improve the water quality. The control interaction module 400 issues a low-speed control command and a fault repair command, and opens the preparatory pipeline disinfection unit 320. Based on the equipment control parameters, it controls the purification and disinfection working mode to run at low speed, increases the amount of disinfectant, extends the disinfection time, or adjusts the filtration parameters, while investigating the cause of the fault.

[0079] It should be noted that the training logic of the deep learning model is as follows:

[0080] The initial water quality information is used as the input factor of the deep learning model, and the target water quality information is used as the output factor of the deep learning model. The minimum expected difference between the target water quality information and the desired target water quality information is used as the training objective. The deep learning model is iteratively trained, and the weight parameters of the corresponding water treatment stages in the purification and disinfection working mode are continuously adjusted. Training stops when the expected difference reaches convergence.

[0081] The deep learning models include, but are not limited to, RNN recurrent neural networks, LSTM long short-term memory networks, GRU gated recurrent networks, CNN convolutional neural networks, and DNN fully connected networks; wherein: RNN recurrent neural networks, LSTM long short-term memory networks, and GRU gated recurrent units are used to process time series data, and CNN convolutional neural networks and DNN fully connected networks are used to process non-time series data.

[0082] After training based on the deep learning model, the target water quality information output by the deep learning model is infinitely close to the output result of the current purification and disinfection working mode. That is, the target water quality information of the sterilizer condensate circulation disinfection and utilization system described in this embodiment is predicted by the deep learning model. The expected target water quality information is in line with the standard of condensate circulation and utilization. The minimum expected value and the expected difference range are set manually according to the actual application scenario.

[0083] It should be noted that the reason for using a deep learning model, rather than targeting the treatment effect of condensate treatment for each water treatment stage, is to label the expected treatment effect as the water quality stage treatment result, and to associate the water treatment stage with the corresponding water quality stage treatment result to form a progress monitoring item. This progress monitoring item for condensate treatment is monitored in real time, and the progress of condensate treatment is monitored according to the water treatment stage. From the perspective of the accuracy of the final result alone, equipping each water treatment stage with a water quality testing device can ensure the accuracy of progress monitoring, simplifying the reliance on deep learning models in terms of hardware, and making the accuracy more reliable. Based on progress monitoring, any anomalies in the corresponding equipment can be detected and maintained promptly. Alternatively, based on experimental data, the operating power of each device can be independently controlled, and the progress of the condensate treatment stage water quality stage can be tracked in real time according to the progress monitoring item, and simultaneously displayed as a measured progress bar.

[0084] However, in reality, the device described in this embodiment is used in a relatively strict environment. When a general water quality monitoring device is installed in it, the loss is high and the accuracy of its data acquisition is difficult to control. Therefore, we adopt a deep learning model and use the weight of the algorithm to characterize the degree of influence of the water treatment stage on the target water quality information. Specifically, the speed control command in the water control strategy is the control of the working parameters of the water treatment stage. By controlling the working parameters, the purpose of low speed, normal operation and high speed can be achieved.
