Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sensor testing, and in particular to a comprehensive testing platform and a testing method for a valve-cooled sensor. Background Art
[0002] With the development of industrial automation and intelligent control technology, sensors are increasingly used in valve cooling systems. They are widely used in the fields of electricity, chemical industry, petroleum, etc. to monitor parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow, liquid level and conductivity in real time to ensure stable operation of the system. However, sensors are susceptible to their own errors, environmental interference and aging in long-term operation, which may cause system misjudgment, refusal to operate or malfunction, bringing economic and safety risks. At present, sensor calibration mainly relies on disassembly and return to the factory, which has a long cycle and high cost, and it is difficult to meet the needs of rapid response on site. At the same time, domestic sensors still need to be fully verified and quantified under real working conditions in terms of static stability, dynamic response, anti-interference performance, etc.
[0003] Patent application number 201310722409.X "Sensor calibration device and method" This method involves a calibration device connected to a sensor via an I2C interface. The calibration module communicates with the sensor via the I2C interface and includes the following components: a calibration kernel, a start value register, a target value register, and a tolerance register. The calibration kernel can provide calibration values to the sensor and adjust the output of the sensor. The start value register stores the initialized calibration value, the target value register stores the expected output value, and the tolerance register stores the tolerance range. The calibration kernel writes the initialized calibration value to the sensor via the I2C interface, reads the output value, and compares it with the expected value. If the output value is within the tolerance range, the calibration is completed; otherwise, the calibration kernel modifies the calibration value until the output value meets the requirements. However, this method has the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1. The calibration value needs to be adjusted repeatedly, which is suitable for simple linear sensors, but cannot be effectively calibrated for nonlinear sensors.
[0005] 2. Poor adaptability. When the environment changes, recalibration is required.
[0006] The "Sensor Calibration Method" of patent number 201710258680.0 involves numbering M sensors, calculating the calibration coefficient of each sensor, and generating a deviation calibration coefficient table including the number and calibration coefficient. At the same time, the calibration coefficient when the combined module is used in conjunction with each sensor is calculated, and a combined module deviation calibration coefficient table is generated. Based on these two calibration coefficient tables, a comprehensive deviation calibration coefficient table for the M sensors and the combined module is generated. Finally, the client calls the corresponding calibration coefficient from the comprehensive deviation calibration coefficient table for calibration by the sensor number.
[0007] However, the limitation of this method is that for complex nonlinear sensors, the calibration coefficients caused by environmental changes vary greatly, and it is difficult to achieve accurate calibration simply by adjusting the coefficients.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to build a comprehensive valve cooling system experimental platform for sensor performance verification, which can accurately simulate real working conditions, scientifically verify the performance indicators of multiple types of sensors, improve the application reliability of sensors in valve cooling systems, and provide technical support for the safe operation of power systems, industrial process control and automated monitoring, and promote continuous innovation and development in the fields of sensor technology and industrial automation.

[0074] Specifically, a three-way joint 14 is provided at one end of the main pipeline, and the three-way joint 14 is respectively connected to the main pipeline 10, the water distribution pipe 13 and one end of the liquid level sensor calibration pipeline 50.

The control unit can realize the calibration of the liquid level sensor to be tested by collecting data of the calibrated liquid level sensor and the liquid level sensor to be tested. In this embodiment, the calibration liquid level sensor is preferably a capacitive level meter. The main reason why the capacitive level meter is selected as the reference unit is that it has high measurement accuracy, good stability and a wide range of applications. The specific reasons are as follows:
[0075] High measurement accuracy: Based on the principle that the change in liquid level causes the change in capacitance, the capacitance level meter can achieve high-precision measurement of the liquid level, and is particularly suitable for detecting small liquid level fluctuations. At the same time, its output signal is continuous and linear, which is convenient for data processing and comparison.
[0076] Strong anti-interference ability: The capacitance level meter has good anti-interference performance and can effectively resist the influence of environmental electromagnetic interference, temperature fluctuations and other factors on the measurement accuracy to ensure reliable data.
[0077] Adapt to various working conditions: The capacitance level meter has low requirements on the physical properties of the liquid (such as dielectric constant, density, etc.), can maintain good measurement performance in different liquid types and a wide range of operating temperature and pressure, and is suitable for a variety of experimental environments.
[0078] Real-time and fast response: The capacitance level gauge can reflect the liquid level changes in real time and has a fast response speed. It is suitable for working conditions that require dynamic measurement of the liquid level. It complements the physical observation of the visual liquid level tube and improves the efficiency and accuracy of double comparison measurement.

In a pipeline system, the left and right sides of the stop valve can refer to the water inlet and the water outlet, respectively. Specifically: Water inlet: The direction in which the fluid enters the valve, usually connected to the upstream part of the pipeline system. This port may be connected to the source of the fluid, or connected to other parts of the pipeline so that the fluid can enter the stop valve and flow downstream. Water outlet: The direction in which the fluid flows out of the valve, usually connected to the downstream part of the pipeline system. This port directs the fluid to the subsequent part of the system, which may be a pressure system, equipment or other pipeline system. The stop valve has a rotating mechanism that can control the flow by changing the position of the valve disc.

[0081] Specifically, a visual liquid level tube 56 is arranged in parallel on one side of the liquid level tube 52, and the visual liquid level tube 56 is connected to the liquid level tube 52. When liquid is injected into the liquid level tube through the liquid level sensor calibration pipeline, the liquid levels in the liquid level tube and the visual liquid level tube are consistent. Since the visual liquid level tube is arranged, it is convenient for the operator to understand the liquid level height in the liquid level tube and facilitate control.
[0082] Furthermore, it also includes a high and low temperature test box 7, which is connected to the water tank 1, and a fifth manual valve 70 and a sixth manual valve 71 are provided between the high and low temperature test box 7 and the water tank 1.

By setting a reserved area branch, it is realized as an outward extension of the entire system. Specifically, it has two main functions: 1. As an external interface of the deionization circuit, if the conductivity of the entire system continues to exceed the standard and cannot be resolved, it can be connected to the deionization circuit to reduce the conductivity of the entire system; 2. As a reserved port for low-flow flowmeter measurement, if the flowmeter flow to be measured is within the measurement range of the circulating water pump, it can be directly connected to the system for flow measurement.
[0093] ① Implementation of deionization circuit
[0094] The deionization circuit mainly reduces the system conductivity through the deionization column or mixed bed ion exchange column to ensure that the water quality meets the standard. When the system is running, if the conductivity continues to exceed the standard, the deionization circuit can be connected through the reserved interface. The circulating water is transported to the deionization column by a low-pressure pump, and the dissolved ions are removed by cation and anion exchange resins. At the same time, the treatment effect is monitored in real time by the conductivity sensor. The deionized water returns to the main system. If the conductivity does not meet the standard, the treatment time can be extended or the ion exchange resin can be replaced. To improve convenience, a bypass valve design can be added to the circuit to isolate the circuit or stop operation. At the same time, it can be equipped with an automatic control device to dynamically start and stop the circuit according to the sensor data to improve operating efficiency and water quality control accuracy.
[0095] ②Realization of low flow measurement
[0096] Low-flow measurement is achieved by connecting a low-flow flowmeter to a reserved interface, which is suitable for scenarios where the flow is small but precise measurement is required. When the system is running, the flowmeter is connected to the main circuit through a reducing pipe or a diverter, and the water flow in the measurement circuit enters the flowmeter after the flow is stabilized by the regulating valve. The measurement signal is transmitted to the main control system through the data acquisition device for real-time monitoring and recording. To ensure measurement accuracy, a high-precision flowmeter that is adapted to the liquid characteristics of the system should be selected, and a buffer or rectifier should be installed in the circuit to eliminate turbulent interference. After the operation is completed, close the loop bypass valve and restore the system to normal operation to ensure that the main loop flow is not affected

[0133] The control unit (PLC) in the terminal box of the present application can collect the data output by the sensor, summarize and calculate the output data, and calculate its repeatability error, zero drift, and accuracy performance respectively.
[0134] The specific calculation principle is as follows:
[0135] The following is the calculation principle of repeatability error, accuracy performance and zero drift in PLC summary calculation data.
[0136] Repeatability error calculation principle:
[0137] 1. Repeatability error measurement requirements: Repeatability error ≤ ±0.5%.
[0138] 2. Measurement method
[0139] Repeatability usually refers to the consistency of the results obtained from multiple measurements of the same measured quantity under the same conditions. It is an indicator of the reliability and stability of the measurement results and is one of the prerequisites for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results.
[0140] Repeatability can be calculated in many ways, one of the common methods is to calculate the standard deviation. Specifically, assuming we have a measurement sequence x1, x2, … xn, we can use the following formula to calculate repeatability:
[0141] First, we need to calculate the average of each measurement using the formula:
[0142] Average value = (x1+x2+..+xn) / n
[0143] We then need to calculate the square of the difference between each measurement and the mean, using the formula:
[0144] (x1-average)^2,(x2-average)^2,..(xn-average)^2
[0145] Next, we need to calculate the average of the squares of these differences, which is calculated as follows: Average squared difference = ((x1-average)^2 + (x2-average)^2 + .. + (xn-average)^2) / n Finally, we need to calculate the standard deviation, which is calculated as follows:
[0146] Standard deviation = square root of mean deviation
[0147] The smaller the standard deviation, the better the repeatability of the measurement results, that is, the higher the reliability and stability of the measurement results. Conversely, the larger the standard deviation, the worse the repeatability of the measurement results, that is, the lower the reliability and stability of the measurement results.
[0148] 3. Specific methods
[0149] Measure ten sets of physical quantities and find the average value, then substitute it into the formula and find the repeatability error
[0150] Accuracy performance calculation principle:
[0151] 1. Accuracy measurement requirements: Accuracy performance ≤ ± 0.5% FS;
[0152] 2. Measurement method
[0153] Formula: δ=ΔYmax / Y×100%;
[0154] Parameter explanation:
[0155] δ: represents linearity; ΔYmax: represents the maximum deviation between the sensor calibration curve and the ideal linear relationship; Y: represents full-scale output;
[0156] Calculation method: Linearity is obtained by calculating the maximum difference between the sensor calibration curve and the ideal linear relationship.
[0157] Example: Assume that the full-scale output of a temperature sensor is 100°C, and during the calibration process, it is found that the maximum deviation between the calibration curve and the ideal linear relationship is 2°C. According to the formula, the linearity of the temperature sensor is: δ = 2°C / 100°C × 100% = 2%.
[0158] 3. Specific methods
[0159] Taking the measurement value of E+H instrument as the ideal linear relationship, measure the maximum absolute value of the instrument under test and the entire range of E+H instrument and divide it by the entire range.
[0160] δ=|measured value-standard value|max / range
[0161] In this precision performance calculation principle, E+H instrument refers to a standard instrument that is considered to have high accuracy and reliability (usually a sensor or measuring device widely used in the industrial field), which is used as a reference standard for comparison with the instrument to be tested. Specifically, E+H is a brand of the German E+H company (Endress+Hauser), which focuses on providing high-precision industrial automation measuring instruments, including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow meters, etc. E+H instruments usually have good linearity and high accuracy, so they are used as standard equipment and serve as an ideal reference during calibration and measurement to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results of the equipment to be tested.
[0162] In this context, the "E+H instrument measurement value" mentioned in the formula is the standard value of the ideal linear relationship. The output of the instrument to be tested is compared with the measurement value of the E+H instrument to calculate its linearity deviation.
[0163] Zero drift calculation principle:
[0164] 1. Zero drift and temperature drift measurement requirements: zero drift and temperature drift ≤ ± 0.1%;
[0165] 2. Measurement method
[0166] Zero drift: When there is no input (or the input value remains unchanged), the sensor's output deviates from zero (or the original indicated value) at intervals.
[0167] Where ΔY o Maximum zero point deviation (or corresponding deviation);
[0168] Zero drift or sensitivity drift can be divided into time drift and temperature drift (temperature drift).
[0169] Time drift is the slow change of zero point or sensitivity over time under specified conditions.
[0170] Temperature drift is the degree of zero point or sensitivity drift caused by changes in ambient temperature. Generally, it is expressed as the percentage of the maximum output deviation to the full scale when the temperature changes by 1°C.
[0171] Δ max is the maximum output deviation; ΔT is the temperature variation range.
[0172] 3. Specific methods
[0173] PS: Pressure drift measurement: After the equipment pressure runs stably, measure the pressure value within 10 minutes and compare it with the result of E+H measurement to measure the maximum value Δ max, Then zero drift = Δ max / Y FS ;
[0174] FS: Temperature drift measurement: Calculate the maximum difference Δ between the measured value and the standard value during a temperature rise of 1°C max ,
[0175] Then temperature drift = Δ max / Y FS .
[0176] This test platform realizes on-site verification and calibration of sensors through comprehensive measurement units and efficient test architecture, avoiding the disassembly and return process in traditional methods, significantly improving efficiency and reducing economic costs. The platform can accurately simulate a variety of actual environmental factors such as liquid level, flow, pressure, temperature and conductivity, and cover the temperature range of -30℃ to 100℃, so as to comprehensively evaluate the performance of different sensors under various working conditions. In addition, the platform supports comprehensive testing and horizontal comparison of multiple performance indicators of pressure, temperature, flow, liquid level and conductivity sensors, filling the gap that a single test platform cannot simultaneously verify multi-source heterogeneous sensors.

The platform adopts an integrated design, integrates the measurement functions of liquid level, pressure and conductivity, and is equipped with a built-in heat exchange system, which can simulate the impact of temperature differences on sensor performance and reduce the dispersion and complexity of test equipment. In addition, through precise verification, the platform effectively reduces the risk of system misjudgment, refusal or malfunction due to sensor errors, ensuring the safety and reliability of the valve cooling system.
