[0029] Reference Figs. 1-3 The application relates to an intelligent industrial circulating water descaling device control system, which comprises a descaling device and an industrial controller. The descaling device is connected to a circulating water main system in a bypass mode. The descaling device comprises a scaling pulse generator, a scaling barrel, a cyclone barrel and a scaling pool. The circulating water main system sends circulating water into the scaling barrel through a circulating water inlet pipeline. A water inlet pump and a water inlet valve are arranged on the circulating water inlet pipeline. The scaling barrel is internally provided with a scaling pulse generator. A scaling mechanism is arranged on the barrel wall of the scaling barrel. The scaling pulse generator generates a pulse electric field which is applied to the scaling pulse generator in the scaling barrel. The pulse electric field breaks the H-O-H bond between two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom in a water molecule, reduces the solubility of calcium and magnesium ions in water, and effectively reduces the calcium and magnesium ion content in water, thereby effectively reducing the water hardness.

[0030] The water outlet of the descaling barrel is connected with a cyclone barrel, the water outlet of the cyclone barrel is connected with a circulating water main system through a circulating water outlet pipeline, and a water outlet valve and an electric conductivity sensor are arranged on the circulating water outlet pipeline.

[0031] The bottom blowdown outlet of the descaling barrel and the bottom blowdown outlet of the cyclone barrel are connected with a scale collection tank, a first blowdown valve is arranged on the pipeline between the descaling barrel and the scale collection tank, and a second blowdown valve is arranged on the pipeline between the cyclone barrel and the scale collection tank. The descaling mechanism is driven to lift by a driving motor, and the liftable descaling mechanism, the first blowdown valve and the second blowdown valve constitute a blowdown mechanism. An industrial controller controls the blowdown mechanism to periodically discharge the accumulated dirt, carbonates and the like in the descaling barrel and the cyclone barrel into the scale collection tank.

[0032] A filter screen is arranged at the center of the cyclone barrel, the water inlet and the blowdown outlet of the cyclone barrel are arranged on one side of the filter screen, and the water outlet of the cyclone barrel is arranged on the other side of the filter screen.

[0033] A first pressure sensor is arranged on the circulating water main system, and a second pressure sensor is arranged in the descaling barrel.

[0034] The first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor and the electric conductivity sensor constitute a sensor module, and the sensor module assists the industrial controller to collect water pressure and water quality parameters to provide a basis for decision-making of the control system.

[0035] The industrial controller is connected with an industrial touch screen through an rs232 serial port. The industrial touch screen has two functions. One is to display the state information and operating parameter information of each working component during the descaling process, and the other is to cooperate with the industrial controller to set the operating parameters of each working component and transmit the set operating parameters to the industrial controller to control information.

[0036] The user can realize manual control and automatic control of the descaling equipment through the industrial touch screen (human-computer interaction interface), and the switching between the two control modes should be convenient and flexible.

[0037] In the automatic operation state, the descaling equipment should be able to sense the water condition change of the circulating water main system. During the water shortage or stop of the circulating water main system, the descaling equipment automatically stops through the water inlet pump control. During the normal operation of the circulating water main system, the descaling equipment can independently adopt the corresponding operation mode according to whether the automatic operation parameter is set by the user in advance.

[0038] The industrial touch screen is provided with an operating parameter setting interface, through which the user can set and adjust the necessary parameters in the equipment operation.

[0039] The main parameters that can be adjusted by the user during the operation of the descaling equipment are shown in Table 1:

[0040] Table one, the main parameters of the intelligent industrial circulating water descaling equipment can be adjusted

[0041]

[0042] The industrial controller as 485 master device interacts information with multi-channel I / O expander, frequency converter and other 485 slave devices through 485 expander, the multi-channel I / O expander realizes the control of the driving elements (driving motor) of the valves, power supplies and scraping mechanism of the relays and circuit breakers through its digital output port; the digital input interface of the multi-channel I / O expander is responsible for collecting and sending the attraction and disconnection state of the driving elements to the industrial controller for the industrial controller to analyze and judge the action of the related working parts of the descaling equipment; the analog input interface of the multi-channel I / O expander is connected with some sensors of the descaling equipment which use analog quantity as interface to collect field data and send to the industrial controller.

[0043] In the hardware construction process, some sensors with 485 interface are also selected, which are connected to the slave interface of the 485 expander, and the data information is collected by the industrial controller directly.

[0044] The software part of the industrial controller is divided into five modules according to the function, including scheduling module, man-machine interaction analysis module, blowdown control module, pulse electric field adjustment module and data acquisition and analysis module.

[0045] The scheduling module has a message queue and a message code associated task processing table, the scheduling module receives the messages sent by other modules through its message queue (the invention refers to sending messages to the scheduling module as master task), the message is composed of message code and message parameters. The scheduling module determines which module should process the message according to the message sent by the master task in the message code processing table, once determined, the message is forwarded to the target module, and the target module completes the corresponding function according to the message code and message parameters. In addition to realizing the message forwarding between modules, the scheduling module also generates a timing time notification message according to the device timing process parameters shown in table one in combination with the timing information of the system timer and sends it to the corresponding module for analysis and execution.

[0046] The man-machine interaction analysis module is responsible for analyzing the read and write function codes from the industrial touch screen, and the read and write function codes of the touch screen adopt modbus-RTU format. If the module analyzes the read function code, the collected field sensor data and the current running state data of each working part of the equipment are transmitted to the touch screen, the touch screen transmits the data sent by the controller through the corresponding channel created by the design interface, and receives these data through the variables associated with each channel created in the real-time database.

[0047] The touch screen write function is mainly generated from the control requirement of the user. When the user clicks the function button provided by the touch screen, the button event will call the pre-written touch screen script program. The touch screen script program determines whether to issue the write function to the controller according to the relevant parameters obtained from the controller by the read channel. If the controller receives the write function code information, it will be submitted to the man-machine interaction analysis module to analyze the function parameters (the present application adopts 0x10 function code, and the function parameters are in the 7th and 8th units of the modbus-rtu write information) therein. The man-machine interaction analysis module converts the analyzed function parameters into a message code, and further forwards the message parameter to the dispatching module for processing.

[0048] The blowdown control module waits for the blowdown valve opening and closing, the scale removal mechanism lifting and lowering, and the stop messages from the dispatching module. These messages will trigger the blowdown control module to organize the corresponding digital output unit control commands, control the digital output unit to drive the actuator to move, and realize the above functions. The blowdown control module also waits for the second timing to message organized by the dispatching module according to the signal from the system timer. According to the second timing to message and the parameters of the scale removal barrel and the cyclone barrel blowdown timing time and scale removal time given in Table 1, the blowdown control module autonomously realizes the control functions after the timing time arrives.

[0049] The pulse electric field adjustment module receives the pulse adjustment message sent by the dispatching module, and adjusts the input signal of the high-power pulse generation unit according to the message parameter, to realize the function of adjusting the pulse electric field parameter of the descaling device. In addition to the above functions, the pulse electric field adjustment module also interacts with the special water treatment power supply (provided by a third party) through the modbus-rtu protocol to realize the output total current adjustment function of the power supply.

[0050] The data acquisition and analysis module is responsible for collecting data of each sensor detection point and action state data of each working part, and sending the data to the dispatching module at regular intervals. The dispatching module sends these data to the touch screen display when the touch screen sends a read request. On the other hand, the dispatching module will analyze the key data such as the current conductivity value, the pulse frequency, the current size, and the user settings, and send emergency intervention commands to the corresponding modules according to the information such as the end of the blowdown period but the blowdown valve not closing to the right position, the water pressure of the circulating water main system being insufficient during the operation of the descaling device, etc., to prompt the corresponding modules to take measures for adjustment, even alarm, shutdown, etc.

[0051] In addition to the above embodiments, the present application also includes other implementation manners. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
