Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water supply equipment control, and in particular to a secondary water supply equipment control method and a control system thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of residents' living standards, the demand for water supply systems is increasing. The rapid development of high-rise buildings, the construction of large industrial parks and the rise of tourist resorts have put forward higher requirements for the stability, reliability and intelligence of water supply systems. In traditional water supply systems, water pressure support is mainly provided by a single water pump or water supply facility. However, this method often shows obvious limitations when facing complex and changing water use environments.

[0003] First, there are certain bottlenecks in the application of traditional water supply systems in high-rise buildings. Since high-rise buildings have significant height differences, water pressure varies with the height of the floors. If the water supply system cannot be adjusted in real time according to the water demand of different floors, it will often lead to insufficient water supply for high-rise residents, while low-rise residents may face excessive water pressure, which not only affects the daily water use experience of residents, but may also cause damage to the water supply pipelines. Traditional water supply methods usually rely on booster pump stations to solve this problem, but due to the fixed output characteristics of booster pump stations, it is difficult to achieve precise control of water supply and energy-saving optimization.

[0004] Secondly, in large industrial parks, the water demand of different factories varies greatly, and due to the frequent start and stop of production equipment, the water supply system needs to have strong dynamic adjustment capabilities. When faced with such a complex and changeable water environment, traditional water supply systems can only adopt the method of oversupply to ensure that there is no shortage of water during peak demand. However, this method leads to a large amount of water resource waste and high energy consumption, and cannot meet the requirements of modern industrial energy conservation and emission reduction. In addition, when the water supply demand of a factory suddenly increases, if the water supply system does not respond in time, it may cause serious consequences such as factory shutdown.

[0005] In the municipal water supply system, the water supply range is wide, the water-using population is large, and the water demand is affected by many factors such as weather, season, and time period. The design and management of the municipal water supply system need to take these complex factors into consideration. Traditional water supply systems usually lack sufficient flexibility and response capabilities when dealing with sudden water demand or responding to extreme weather events. For example, during the high temperatures in summer, the water demand of residents surges, and traditional water supply systems may find it difficult to quickly adjust the water supply, resulting in water shortages in some areas. At night or during non-peak hours when water demand is low, traditional systems still maintain high-load operation, resulting in a lot of energy waste.

[0006] The rise of smart homes has further highlighted the limitations of traditional water supply systems. As more and more families adopt smart devices for daily management, home water supply systems also need to be intelligent and automated to meet the personalized water needs of different family members at different times. Traditional home water supply systems are usually unable to flexibly adjust according to real-time water demand, resulting in insufficient water pressure during peak water use or wasted energy during low water use. In addition, traditional systems are insufficient in detecting and responding to sudden water supply problems (such as pipeline leaks), and it is difficult to respond in a timely manner through remote control and instant notification, posing a hidden danger to home water safety.

[0007] In tourist resorts, especially those located in mountains or on the seaside, water demand fluctuates greatly due to the seasonal number of tourists. Traditional water supply systems are difficult to flexibly respond to changes in water demand in different time periods in such an environment. Usually, they can only be solved by manual adjustment or increasing the redundancy of water supply equipment, but this is obviously inefficient and not sustainable in the long run. At the same time, the water supply system of the resort also needs to deal with special problems that may arise due to the geographical location, such as unstable water pressure in high-altitude areas and water quality problems in coastal areas, which puts higher requirements on the intelligence and automation of the water supply system.

[0008] In recent years, with the rapid development of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI), the intelligent upgrade of water supply systems has become possible. By monitoring the operating status of the water supply system in real time through sensor networks, using big data analysis to predict water supply demand, and combining artificial intelligence algorithms to achieve adaptive adjustment of the system, the intelligent water supply system can ensure the stability of water supply while greatly improving energy efficiency, reducing water waste, and providing safer and more reliable water supply services.

[0009] Based on this, the present invention proposes a secondary water supply equipment control method and control system, aiming to solve the problems of unstable water pressure, energy waste, insufficient emergency response capability, etc. in the existing water supply system through intelligent control means. The system can monitor the water pressure, water flow and operating status of water-using equipment in the water supply pipeline in real time, calculate the current required water supply through the control algorithm, and automatically adjust the operating parameters of the water pump according to actual needs to achieve efficient, energy-saving and stable water supply effects. The system also has emergency handling capabilities and can respond quickly when abnormal conditions are detected to ensure the safety and continuity of the water supply system. This innovative control method and system have shown wide applicability and significant technical advantages in different application scenarios such as high-rise buildings, industrial parks, municipal water supply networks, smart homes and tourist resorts.

[0053] Control logic: In the system, sensors monitor the water pressure P(t) and water flow Q(t) in the water supply pipe in real time. When an increase in water demand is detected (such as during the morning peak), the system increases the operating frequency and power of the water pump through a calculation formula to ensure that the water supply can meet the needs of residents. Conversely, when water demand is low at night, the system automatically reduces the frequency and power of the water pump to achieve energy-saving effects.

[0054] Emergency handling: When the water pressure P(t) or water flow Q(t) exceeds the safety threshold, the system will immediately trigger the emergency plan, start the backup water pump or sound an alarm to ensure the continuity and safety of the water supply system.

[0055] Example 2: Application of water supply system in industrial park

[0056] In large industrial parks, the water demand and fluctuation of each factory building are large. In order to meet the water supply needs of different factories, the system needs to independently adjust the water supply for each area.

[0075] Example 4: Application in smart home water supply management

[0076] The popularity of smart homes has put forward new requirements for the intelligent management of household water supply. The control method of household water supply system needs to take into account both energy saving and water supply stability.

[0093] Control logic: Sensor modules are installed at each major water supply node in the resort to monitor the water supply in each area in real time. Based on the monitored data, the system automatically calculates the water supply demand of each area and adjusts the frequency and power of the water pump to meet the water demand of different areas and time periods. For example, in the swimming pool area where tourists gather during the day, the system will increase the water supply, and reduce the water supply at night or in areas with fewer tourists.

[0094] Emergency response: When abnormal water pressure or water flow is detected in a certain area, the system will immediately adjust the water supply strategy for that area and notify the resort management staff to conduct on-site processing to ensure the continuity of the water supply system.
