Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooling heat exchange, in particular to an automatic backwashing device and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In field operations, the working requirements of hydraulic drive equipment often involve high-power hydraulic systems. In order to ensure the stable operation of these devices, it is necessary to rely on high-power water coolers to effectively cool the hydraulic system. In this process, the water cooler plays a crucial role, responsible for conducting the heat of the hydraulic oil to the water and removing the heat through circulating water flow, thereby maintaining the temperature of the hydraulic system within the normal working range.

[0003] At present, when the water cooler is blocked, if the blockage is relatively light, the reverse flushing method of on-site replacement of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe is generally used to clean the blockage. In order to ensure that the water flow in the water cooler can be backwashed and dredge the pipeline, the water supply equipment and the hydraulic equipment need to be cut off and the water cooler needs to be suspended; if the blockage is relatively serious, complex oxalic acid soaking treatment needs to be carried out, and then the blockage is softened and then flushed. In order to ensure that the oxalic acid can fully play a role and that the oxalic acid cleaning process can be carried out smoothly, the oxalic acid needs to be soaked for a period of time and the water supply equipment, the hydraulic equipment and the water cooler need to be cut off.

[0004] In summary, the above treatment methods for water cooler blockage not only need to cut off the water supply equipment, the hydraulic equipment and the water cooler, but also need to spend a lot of time for oxalic acid soaking when the blockage is relatively serious. Therefore, the existing treatment method not only increases the equipment maintenance cost, but also causes a long time of equipment interruption, thereby affecting the overall operation progress and efficiency.

[0044] It should be noted that the "at" in the embodiments of the present application can be the moment when a certain condition occurs, or a period of time after a certain condition occurs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations. In addition, the automatic backflushing device provided by the embodiments of the present application is only an example, and the automatic backflushing device can also include more or less content.

[0045] First, the terms involved in the present application are explained:

[0046] Water cooler: A device that absorbs, transfers or dissipates heat through the flow of water to reduce the temperature of a device or system. Water coolers are widely used in various industries, machinery, electronic equipment, especially in situations that require large-scale heat dissipation, such as engines, hydraulic systems, air conditioning equipment and computer servers. The basic working principle of the water cooler is to use the characteristics of water that can absorb a large amount of heat with a small change in temperature to remove heat from the device or system, so that the temperature of the device or system is maintained within a reasonable range.

[0047] In order to clearly understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the solutions of the prior art are first introduced in detail.

[0048] There are two ways to handle the clogging of the water cooler in the prior art. One is that the clogging is relatively light, and the reverse flushing method of replacing the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe on site is generally used to clean the clogging. At this time, the water supply equipment, hydraulic equipment and water cooler need to be cut off. The other is that the clogging is relatively serious, and a complex oxalic acid soaking treatment needs to be carried out. After the clogging is softened, it needs to be flushed. In order to ensure that the oxalic acid can fully play a role and the oxalic acid cleaning process can be carried out smoothly, the oxalic acid needs to be soaked for a period of time and the water supply equipment, hydraulic equipment and water cooler need to be cut off.

[0049] When using the above technology to treat the clogging, the water supply equipment, hydraulic equipment and water cooler need to be temporarily cut off, so that the equipment needs to be shut down for maintenance, affecting the work efficiency and progress.

[0050] In summary, how to design a device that can perform reverse flushing without affecting the cooling function of the water cooler during the backflushing process is a problem that needs to be solved by the embodiments of the present application.

[0051] Therefore, in view of the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide an automatic backflushing device and system, which can be used in the technical field of cooling and heat exchange, and aims to ensure that the cooling function of the water cooler is not affected during the backflushing process, so as to meet the requirement of heat exchange.

[0052] The application provides an application scenario of the automatic backwashing device and system. The following application scenario is only an example, and is intended to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the application, but does not mean that the application cannot be used in other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

[0053] 1) Industrial cooling system: In the power industry and chemical industry, water coolers are often needed to control the temperature of equipment. If impurities in the cooling water deposit on the surface of the cooling pipeline or heat exchanger, the cooling efficiency will be reduced, and even the system will fail. The automatic backwashing device designed in the application can periodically remove these deposits without affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0054] 2) Seawater cooling system: Seawater contains a large amount of salt, plankton and other impurities, which may cause seaweed, shells and other substances to cover the pipeline and heat exchanger of the cooling system. In order to prevent these deposits from affecting the cooling efficiency, backwashing is needed. Especially in power plants, seawater desalination plants and offshore oil platforms near the coast that use seawater for cooling, the backwashing device does not affect the normal operation of the equipment, which is the key to maintaining the normal operation of the system.

[0055] 3) Electroplating and metal processing industry: In the field of electroplating and metal processing, the wastewater generated in these processes may contain metal ions, chemicals and particles, so the cooling water needs to maintain a high degree of cleanliness, otherwise the deposits in the cooling system will easily block the pipeline and reduce the heat exchange efficiency. The automatic backwashing device designed in the application can periodically clean the impurities inside the cooler, maintaining the normal operation of the cooling water system.

[0056] The application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] The embodiment of the application realizes water flow reversal through the cooperative action of two three-way ball valves, without cutting off the water supply, and achieves the effect of not affecting the cooling function of the water cooler and not affecting the downstream water supply during the reverse flushing process.

[0083] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the embodiment of the application provides an automatic backwashing device, which further comprises a controller 900.

[0084] The first three-way ball valve 100 comprises a first three-way ball valve body 120 and a first actuator 110, and the second three-way ball valve 200 comprises a second three-way ball valve body 210 and a second actuator 220.

[0085] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first three-way ball valve 100 and the second three-way ball valve 200 each comprise a three-way ball valve body and an actuator. The main function of the actuator is to automatically control the action of the three-way ball valve body through an electrical signal. Through the driving of the actuator, the three-way ball valve body can rotate at different angles, so as to adjust the opening degree of the valve and further control the flow direction and flow rate of the fluid. For an L-shaped three-way ball valve, the actuator can control the fluid to change the flow direction between two passages.

[0086] The first pipe opening of the first three-way ball valve body 120 is connected with the cooling water inlet pipe 700 through the first cooling water inlet branch 410; the second pipe opening of the first three-way ball valve body 120 is connected with the first pipe opening of the water cooler 330 through the water cooler water outlet pipe 310; and the third pipe opening of the first three-way ball valve body 120 is connected with the cooling water storage device through the first cooling water outlet branch 520.

[0087] Specifically, in the embodiment, the connection mode, role and effect of the first pipe opening, the second pipe opening and the third pipe opening of the first three-way ball valve body 120 are similar to those of the first pipe opening, the second pipe opening and the third pipe opening of the first three-way ball valve 100 in the first embodiment, and will not be described here.

[0088] The first pipe opening of the second three-way ball valve body 210 is connected with the cooling water inlet pipe 700 through the second cooling water inlet branch 420; the second pipe opening of the second three-way ball valve body 210 is connected with the second pipe opening of the water cooler 330 through the water cooler water inlet pipe 350; and the third pipe opening of the second three-way ball valve body 210 is connected with the cooling water storage device through the second cooling water outlet branch 510.

[0089] Specifically, in the embodiment, the connection mode, role and effect of the first pipe opening, the second pipe opening and the third pipe opening of the second three-way ball valve body 210 are similar to those of the first pipe opening, the second pipe opening and the third pipe opening of the second three-way ball valve 200 in the above embodiment, and will not be described here.

[0090] The controller 900 is used to periodically control the first actuator 110 and the second actuator 220, so that the first actuator 110 periodically places the first three-way ball valve body 120 in the first position or the third position, and the second actuator 220 periodically places the second three-way ball valve body 210 in the second position or the fourth position.

[0091] Specifically, in the embodiment, the controller controls the left and right position switching of the first three-way ball valve and the second three-way ball valve through a single-point digital output signal, realizes the forward and reverse flow of the cooling water in the water cooler, and when the normal low-frequency switching is performed, the water flow in the water cooler is reversed for a long period, and the condensate in the heat exchange stroke is not easy to deposit on the inner wall of the channel, so that the frequency of the water cooler being blocked by scale can be effectively reduced, the service life of the water cooler is prolonged, and the cooling function of the water cooler and the downstream water supply are not affected during the forward and reverse flushing processes; the number of action elements is small, the control logic is simple, the electrical signal fault is not easy to occur, the reliability of the equipment is not affected, and when the control signal fails, the cooling function of the water cooler is not affected.

[0092] When the first three-way ball valve body 120 is placed in the first position or the third position, and the second three-way ball valve body 210 is placed in the second position or the fourth position, the backwashing principle of the water cooler 330 is similar to the backwashing principle of the water cooler 330 in the above-mentioned embodiment of the application, in which the first three-way ball valve 100 is placed in the preset first position and the second three-way ball valve 200 is placed in the preset second position, or the first three-way ball valve 100 is placed in the preset third position and the second three-way ball valve 200 is placed in the preset fourth position, and thus the details are not described herein again.

[0093] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment of the application provides an automatic backwashing device, which further comprises a first pressure sensor, a second pressure sensor and a cooling water outlet pipeline 600.

[0094] The first cooling water outlet branch 520 and the second cooling water outlet branch 510 are both connected with the cooling water storage device through the cooling water outlet pipeline 600.

[0095] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first cooling water outlet branch 520 and the second cooling water outlet branch 510 form a water outlet branch, and the water outlet branch is connected with the cooling water storage device through the cooling water outlet pipeline 600.

[0096] The first pressure sensor is installed on the cooling water inlet pipeline 700, and is used to detect the first pressure of the cooling water inlet pipeline 700; and the second pressure sensor is installed on the cooling water outlet pipeline 600, and is used to detect the second pressure of the cooling water outlet pipeline 600.

[0097] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first pressure is the pressure value of the cooling water inlet pipeline 700, and the second pressure is the pressure value of the cooling water outlet pipeline 600. Under normal circumstances, the pressure difference between the first pressure and the second pressure should be within a reasonable range. If the pressure difference abnormally increases, it indicates that a blockage may occur in the cooler. Timely detection and discovery of such an abnormal condition can help to early eliminate the fault and avoid further damage or efficiency reduction of the system.

[0098] The controller 900 is used to obtain a control frequency according to the numerical relationship between the first pressure and the second pressure, and periodically control the first actuator 110 and the second actuator 220 according to the control frequency.

[0099] In a possible design, the size of the control frequency is positively correlated with the difference between the first pressure and the second pressure.

[0100] Specifically, in the embodiment, the automatic backwashing control logic of the water cooler 330 is as follows:

[0101] If the pressure difference ΔP between the first pressure and the second pressure is less than P1 (P1 is a preset value, which is set according to actual conditions), it indicates that the water passage in the water cooler 330 is normal and does not appear to be blocked to a certain extent. At this time, the controller 900 controls the first three-way ball valve 100 and the second three-way ball valve 200 to periodically switch between the left and right positions at a low frequency, and the low-frequency period T is 0.5-1 h.

[0102] If the pressure difference ΔP between the first pressure and the second pressure is greater than or equal to P1, it indicates that the water passage in the water cooler 330 is blocked to a certain extent. At this time, the controller 900 controls the first three-way ball valve 100 and the second three-way ball valve 200 to periodically switch between the left and right positions at a high frequency, and the high-frequency period T is 5-10 s, and the switching frequency is 5-10 times, and then the low-frequency switching is restored. If the pressure difference ΔP between the first pressure and the second pressure is still greater than P1, the high-frequency backwashing step is repeated.

[0103] If the pressure difference ΔP between the first pressure and the second pressure is greater than or equal to P2 (P2>2P1), it indicates that the water cooler 330 is seriously blocked. The controller 900 controls the first three-way ball valve 100 and the second three-way ball valve 200 to periodically switch between the left and right positions at a high frequency, and the high-frequency period T is 5-10 s, and the sewage in the water cooler 330 is discharged through the sewage outlet, and the subsequent water supply of the device is temporarily suspended, and the low-frequency switching state can be restored to the normal state only after manual inspection and reset.

[0104] The three-way ball valve is used to realize the rapid switching of the water flow in the water cooler, the water flow direction in the water cooler is changed periodically, the deposition of solid condensate on the inner wall of the water cooler is reduced, and after the pressure difference between the first pressure and the second pressure increases, the state of the three-way ball valve is switched multiple times in a short time, so that the water flow in the water cooler is reversed multiple times, a more intense forward and reverse washing is realized, and the purpose of cleaning the water cooler is achieved.

[0105] On the basis of the above embodiment, an automatic backwashing device is provided, and the device further comprises a sewage pipeline 800.

[0106] The sewage pipeline 800 comprises a sewage branch 810 and a sewage valve 820.

[0107] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sewage valve 820 can be a manual ball valve, which is manually opened when the alarm signal is triggered, or can be a pneumatic ball valve or an electric ball valve, which is automatically controlled, and the type of the sewage valve 820 is not limited here.

[0108] When the sewage valve 820 is controlled by the controller 900, the controller 900 is electrically connected with the sewage valve 820, and the connection mode is similar to the electrical connection mode of the controller 900, the first actuator 110 and the second actuator 220, which will not be repeated here.

[0109] If the pressure difference ΔP between the first pressure and the second pressure is greater than or equal to P2, it indicates that there is a more serious blockage in the water cooler 330. The water cooler 330 enters a high-frequency switching state, and at the same time, a feedback alarm signal is sent, and the blowdown valve 820 is opened. When there is a more serious blockage in the water cooler, timely removal of the blockage through the blowdown valve can help reduce equipment wear and tear, improve equipment service life, reduce downtime, and improve work efficiency.

[0110] The third pipe opening of the second three-way ball valve body 210 is connected with the sewage storage device through the second cooling water outlet branch 510 and the blowdown branch 810.

[0111] Specifically, in the embodiment, the sewage after reverse flushing is discharged into the sewage storage device through the second cooling water outlet branch 510 and the blowdown branch 810. Discharging the sewage into the sewage storage device can effectively manage the blockage in the system, maintain the safety and stability of the equipment, reduce environmental pollution, and provide convenience for subsequent cleaning and sewage treatment.

[0112] The blowdown valve 820 is installed on the blowdown branch 810.

[0113] When the difference between the first pressure and the second pressure is greater than a preset difference threshold, the controller 900 is configured to control the blowdown valve 820 to be opened; otherwise, the controller 900 is configured to control the blowdown valve 820 to be closed.

[0114] Specifically, in the embodiment, when the difference between the first pressure and the second pressure is greater than a preset difference threshold, the controller 900 is configured to control the blowdown valve 820 to be opened. The preset difference threshold and how to determine whether there is a blockage in the water cooler 330 by comparing the difference between the first pressure and the second pressure with the difference threshold have been described in detail in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0115] On the basis of the above embodiment, the present embodiment provides an automatic backwashing device, which further comprises a temperature sensor.

[0116] The temperature sensor is installed on the hydraulic oil outlet pipeline 320 of the water cooler, and the temperature sensor is configured to detect the working temperature of the hydraulic oil; and the frequency is positively correlated with the working temperature.

[0117] Specifically, in this embodiment, due to the different cooling efficiencies caused by the forward and reverse flow of water in the water cooler 330, according to the feedback from the temperature sensor on the hydraulic oil outlet pipe 320 of the water cooler, when the hydraulic oil temperature T is greater than the warning temperature T1, the water flow in the water cooler 330 will be fixed in the forward flow state with higher cooling efficiency. The first three-way ball valve 100 and the second three-way ball valve 200 are both in the right position. When the hydraulic oil temperature T is less than T1-10℃, the water cooler 330 returns to the normal low-frequency switching state.

[0118] The control circuit is that the controller 900 receives feedback signals from the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor, and then controls the actuators of the first three-way ball valve 100 and the second three-way ball valve 200 through the output signal circuit, so that the P port of the three-way ball valve switches between being connected to the A port and being connected to the B port.

[0119] control circuit Figure 1 The dashed line in the diagram indicates that the controller 900 is electrically connected to the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor.

[0120] By using feedback from the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor, the switching state and frequency of the first three-way ball valve and the second three-way ball valve are controlled, which achieves the purpose of backwashing the water cooler without affecting the water supply demand of the equipment.

[0122] Cooling water storage device, hydraulic device, and automatic backwashing device provided in the above embodiments.

[0123] The automatic backwashing system provided in this application embodiment has a similar implementation principle and technical effect to the automatic backwashing device in the above embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0124] In one possible design, the cooling water storage device is equipped with a cooling mechanism to cool the liquid in the cooling water storage device and obtain cooling water.

[0125] Specifically, the cooling water storage device is equipped with a cooling mechanism that cools the liquid in the cooling water storage device to obtain cooling water, which is then injected into the first three-way ball valve or the second three-way ball valve to facilitate subsequent operations.
