Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of valves, and in particular to a regulating and controlling method and system for an intelligent valve. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial and civil fields, the application of smart valves is becoming more and more extensive. From fluid control to system safety, smart valves play an important role in improving production efficiency and system reliability. However, in practical applications, the regulation and control of smart valves still faces many challenges, especially the problem of valve function degradation. These problems are particularly evident in high-pressure, high-temperature, corrosive and high-impurity environments. For example, valves in heating and air-conditioning systems, valves in the pharmaceutical and food industries, and regulating valves in water treatment systems are more likely to experience functional degradation after long-term use.

[0003] At present, valve function degradation is mainly manifested in three aspects: component wear, valve body leakage and difficulty in opening and closing the valve. The problem of valve function degradation will not only affect the normal operation of the valve, but also lead to performance degradation of the entire system and increased safety hazards. Traditional methods for adjusting and maintaining valve function degradation mostly rely on manual inspection and regular maintenance. This method is inefficient and prone to missed detection and misjudgment. It is difficult to achieve real-time monitoring and judgment of the valve status, resulting in delayed detection of function degradation problems and increased maintenance costs. It may even cause major failures and safety accidents due to the failure to timely discover the serious degradation of valve function. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method and system for regulating and controlling an intelligent valve, which solves the problems in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0011] Preferably, the deposit detection module is used to identify and monitor the deposit blockage when the valve is open by using a capacitive sensor, a vortex flowmeter and an acoustic emission sensor to obtain deposit blockage status information, perform feature analysis from three aspects: the degree of deposit accumulation, internal fluid flow and valve body vibration when the valve is open, eliminate erroneous data, abnormal values ​​or noise, and obtain the deposit volume vcj, fluid flow vlt and valve body vibration frequency pzd after normalizing and standardizing the data, so as to form a deposit blockage status data group, and transmit it to the blockage preprocessing module;

[0012] The sediment volume vcj refers to the volume of sediment accumulated inside the valve. These sediments may be composed of solid particles, dirt or other impurities. Over time, they accumulate inside the valve and affect the normal operation of the valve. The sediment inside the valve is measured by using a capacitive sensor. The capacitive sensor determines the existence of sediment and its volume change by detecting changes in the electric field. The sensor is installed inside the valve. When sediment accumulates, it causes a change in capacitance. The sensor converts this change into data on the sediment volume.

[0013] The fluid flow rate vlt refers to the volume flow rate of the fluid passing through the valve, which is usually measured by the volume of fluid flowing through the valve per second. The fluid flow rate reflects the working state and flow capacity of the valve, especially when sediment accumulates, the fluid flow rate will be affected; a vortex flowmeter is used to measure the fluid flow in the valve, and the flow rate is determined by detecting the vortex frequency generated when the fluid bypasses the obstacle. The flowmeter is installed in the fluid channel of the valve. The vortex frequency formed when the fluid passes is proportional to the flow rate. The flowmeter converts the vortex frequency into fluid flow data;

[0014] The valve body vibration frequency pzd refers to the vibration frequency caused by fluid flow or sediment blockage during valve operation. Changes in the vibration frequency can reflect abnormal conditions inside the valve. The valve body vibration frequency is measured using an acoustic emission sensor. The acoustic emission sensor can capture high-frequency sound waves generated during valve operation. These sound waves are caused by vibration.

The differential pressure sensor is installed on the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side of the valve to monitor the pressure difference change. When the valve is closed, when there is internal leakage, the fluid will leak from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side, resulting in a change in the differential pressure.

[0029] The friction sound wave frequency vsb refers to the sound wave frequency generated by the friction between internal components during the opening and closing process of the valve. This parameter can reflect the friction condition inside the valve and potential functional failures. An acoustic emission sensor is used to detect the friction sound wave frequency. The acoustic emission sensor is installed on the valve casing and can capture the high-frequency sound wave signal generated during the opening and closing process.

[0040] Preferably, the valve function degradation total evaluation unit is used to obtain the valve function degradation index zth after performing machine learning calculation and dimensionless processing on the physical wear index zms, the valve body leakage index zxl and the opening and closing resistance change index zqb. The valve function degradation index zth is obtained by the following formula:

[0041]

[0042] Wherein, α, β and λ represent the weight values ​​of physical wear index zms, valve body leakage index zxl and opening and closing resistance change index zqb respectively.

[0043] Preferably, the regulating control module is used to compare and analyze the valve function degradation index zth with a preset function degradation threshold G, obtain corresponding regulating control instructions, and make corresponding regulating measures according to the regulating control instructions. The specific contents are as follows:

[0044] If the valve function degradation index zth is less than the function degradation threshold G, that is, zth<G, it indicates that the current function state of the valve is in a normal state, and at this time, a first adjustment control instruction is issued and executed. The execution measures of the first adjustment control instruction are: continue to monitor the operation state of the valve and record relevant parameters as part of the reference for later maintenance;

[0045] If the valve function degradation index zth is greater than or equal to the function degradation threshold G, that is, zth≥G, it means that the current functional state of the valve is in a functional abnormal state.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 Specifically: the sediment detection module is used to identify and monitor the sediment blockage when the valve is open by using a capacitive sensor, a vortex flowmeter and an acoustic emission sensor to obtain sediment blockage status information, perform feature analysis from three aspects: sediment accumulation degree, internal fluid flow rate and valve body vibration when the valve is open, eliminate erroneous data, abnormal values ​​or noise, and obtain the sediment volume vcj, fluid flow rate vlt and valve body vibration frequency pzd after normalizing and standardizing the data to form a sediment blockage status data group, and transmit it to the blockage preprocessing module;

[0069] The sediment volume vcj refers to the volume of sediment accumulated inside the valve. These sediments may be composed of solid particles, dirt or other impurities. Over time, they accumulate inside the valve and affect the normal operation of the valve. The sediment inside the valve is measured by using a capacitive sensor. The capacitive sensor determines the existence of sediment and its volume change by detecting changes in the electric field. The sensor is installed inside the valve. When sediment accumulates, it causes a change in capacitance. The sensor converts this change into data on the sediment volume.

[0070] The fluid flow rate vlt refers to the volume flow rate of the fluid passing through the valve, which is usually measured by the volume of fluid flowing through the valve per second. The fluid flow rate reflects the working state and flow capacity of the valve, especially when sediment accumulates, the fluid flow rate will be affected; a vortex flowmeter is used to measure the fluid flow in the valve, and the flow rate is determined by detecting the vortex frequency generated when the fluid bypasses the obstacle. The flowmeter is installed in the fluid channel of the valve. The vortex frequency formed when the fluid passes is proportional to the flow rate. The flowmeter converts the vortex frequency into fluid flow data;

[0071] The valve body vibration frequency pzd refers to the vibration frequency caused by fluid flow or sediment blockage during valve operation. Changes in the vibration frequency can reflect abnormal conditions inside the valve. The valve body vibration frequency is measured using an acoustic emission sensor. The acoustic emission sensor can capture high-frequency sound waves generated during valve operation. These sound waves are caused by vibration. The sensor is installed on the outer surface of the valve. The detected sound wave signal can be converted into valve body vibration frequency data after processing.

[0072] In this embodiment, the sediment detection module uses a capacitive sensor, a vortex flowmeter and an acoustic emission sensor to comprehensively monitor and analyze the sediment accumulation degree, internal fluid flow rate and valve body vibration frequency when the valve is open, effectively eliminating erroneous data, abnormal values ​​and noise, and after data normalization and standardization, accurately obtain the sediment volume vcj, fluid flow rate vlt and valve body vibration frequency pzd, form a sediment blockage status data group, and transmit it to the blockage preprocessing module, thereby providing accurate identification and monitoring of sediment blockage conditions.

[0077] Wherein, vcj represents the sediment volume, vlt represents the fluid flow rate, pzd represents the valve body vibration frequency, a1, a2 and a3 represent the preset proportional coefficients of the sediment volume vcj, the fluid flow rate vlt and the valve body vibration frequency pzd, respectively, and A represents the first correction constant;

[0078] The comparison unit is used to compare and analyze the sediment blocking index zcj with a preset blocking threshold S to determine whether a blocking warning instruction needs to be issued. The specific contents are as follows:

[0079] If the sediment blocking index zcj≤blocking threshold S, it is determined that the sediment in the current valve is not blocked, and no additional blocking warning instruction is issued;

[0080] If the deposit blockage index zcj>blockage threshold S, it is determined that the deposits in the current valve are in a blocked state, and a blockage warning instruction is issued. The content of the blockage warning instruction includes notifying the maintenance personnel to clean the deposits inside the valve by manual dismantling and cleaning. For internal structures that cannot be removed, that is, internal structures that are fixedly connected, the valve is immersed in an ultrasonic cleaning tank to remove the deposits by ultrasonic vibration.

[0081] In this embodiment, the blockage pretreatment module is used to accurately identify and effectively deal with the blockage of deposits inside the valve. The blockage state analysis unit uses three key parameters, namely, the sediment volume vcj, the fluid flow vlt and the valve body vibration frequency pzd, to accurately calculate the sediment blockage index zcj through a preset weighted formula. The comparison unit compares and analyzes the index with the preset blockage threshold S, so as to determine the blockage state of the valve in real time. When the sediment blockage index zcj is less than or equal to the threshold S, the system determines that the valve is in a normal state and no additional measures are required. When the sediment blockage index zcj is greater than the threshold S, the system automatically issues a blockage warning instruction and promptly notifies the maintenance personnel to clean up. For the detachable parts, manual cleaning is adopted, and for the fixed connection parts, efficient cleaning is carried out through an ultrasonic cleaning tank. The system improves the detection accuracy of sediment blockage and can also provide timely warning and effective cleaning.
