DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0068] Based on the problems existing in the prior art described in the background technology, as shown in the attached Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a transformer oil filling and draining pipeline, comprising:

[0069] Oil inlet 1, the oil inlet 1 is for oil to enter the oil filter; oil outlet 2, the oil outlet 2 is for oil to flow out of the oil filter. Oil tank port 3, the oil tank port 3 is in communication with the oil tank so that the oil can flow into and out of the oil tank. Transformer port 4, the transformer port 4 is in communication with the inside of the transformer so that the oil can flow into and out of the transformer. First oil drain line 5, the first oil drain line 5 is connected to the oil inlet 1 and the transformer port 4, respectively. Second oil drain line 6, the second oil drain line 6 is connected to the oil outlet 2 and the oil tank port 3, respectively. First oil filling line 7, the first oil filling line 7 is connected to the first oil drain line 5 and the second oil drain line 6 near the oil tank port 3 and near the oil inlet 1, respectively, and forms a first three-way port with the second oil drain line 6 at the connection point. The second oil filling pipeline 8 is connected to the second oil draining pipeline 6 and the first oil draining pipeline 5 near the oil outlet 2 and the transformer port 4 respectively, and forms a second three-way port with the first pipeline at the connection point.

[0070] A first three-way ball valve 9, the first three-way ball valve 9 is located at the first three-way port, and the first three-way ball valve 9 is driven by a motor to operate. A second three-way ball valve 10, the second three-way ball valve 10 is located at the second three-way port, and the second three-way ball valve 10 is driven by a motor to operate.

[0071] During the use of the oil filter, the oil inlet 1 and the oil outlet 2 are generally fixed. Therefore, when switching between the filling and draining processes, the inlet and outlet oil pipelines need to be switched. This process requires at least 4 people to cooperate, which is inefficient and may cause oil to leak out during the switching process. However, the present application realizes the automatic switching of the inlet and outlet oil of the oil filter. Only two people are needed to switch the pipelines, which reduces the number of processes, improves efficiency, and avoids environmental pollution caused by oil leaks. Figure 1 The direction of the arrow is the flow direction of the oil.

When the sub-body and the parent body are embedded, the ferrule in the straight plug-in quick connector returns to the original position under the action of the spring, and the steel column rolls and locks the sub-body to achieve a tight connection. At the same time, the valves of the parent body and the sub-body push each other to open, and the fluid flows.

[0075] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the transformer oil filling and discharge pipeline also includes:

[0076] A sensor, which is arranged on the inner wall of the first oil discharge pipeline 5 and is used to collect oil flow data;

[0087] .

[0088] The ARX model has a high-order ARX model, which can better approximate any linear time-invariant dynamic system. After determining the structural parameters, the linear least squares algorithm is used to estimate the ARX model parameters, which can simply and efficiently obtain the global optimal parameter estimation value. Therefore, the ARX model is used in this application to identify the pipeline flow change model. That is, the relationship between the oil flow and the valve opening is obtained through the ARX model.

[0089] Step 3: Use the least squares method to estimate the structural parameters in the ARX model. The estimation of the structural parameters is as follows:

[0094] It should be noted that It is a representation and The degree of fit.

[0095] The expression is as follows:

[0096] ;

[0097] but: ;

[0098] In the formula, , They are a 0. b j The estimated value of .

[0099] Step 4: Estimate the model parameter vector value using the least squares method based on the structural parameters :

[0103] Then the transfer function of the ARX model is:

[0104] ;

[0105] It follows that:

[0106] .

[0107] The above two equations are the expressions of the discrete and continuous types of transfer functions.

[0108] Step 5: After reducing the order of the transfer function and performing continuous processing, the transfer function is obtained. The expression of this transfer function is as follows:

[0110] The above transfer function is discretized and written as a difference equation:

[0111] Discretization: ;

[0112] Difference equation: ;

[0113] Step 6: According to the difference equation in step 5, the controller parameters of PID , , , is the decision variable, and the genetic algorithm is used to adjust , , ;

[0114] The minimum objective function using the absolute value time integral of the error as parameter selection in the genetic algorithm is:

[0115] ;

[0116] For the above objective function, a penalty factor is added to it to achieve the overshoot as the optimal indicator when an overshoot condition occurs. The objective function after adding the penalty factor is as follows:

[0117] ;

[0118] In the formula, is the system error, the value is less than 0, is the rise time, , , , is the weighted value, and .

[0119] In order to prevent the control amount from being too large, the input quantity in the above formula uses a square value.

[0120] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown, the genetic operation selects the binary encoding method, and after decoding the individual code string, the individual phenotype can be obtained; the objective function value of the corresponding individual can be calculated from the phenotype; according to the type of optimal problem, the individual fitness can be calculated according to certain conversion rules using the objective function value.

[0122] Input the parameters into the host computer. The PID controller is a program module that can calculate the corresponding valve opening according to the pipeline flow, send the command to the valve, and realize the valve action. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, PID control is a commonly used controller solution, which is mainly divided into three parts: proportional, integral and differential.

[0123] The PID controller is based on the input given value The actual output value The linear controller that constitutes the deviation can be expressed as: , and then perform proportional, integral and differential operations to control the controlled object. The expression is:

[0124] ;

[0125] The above formula is transformed into a transfer function:
