Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of valves, and in particular to a remote visualized control valve. Background Art

[0002] Valves are pipeline accessories used to open and close pipelines, control flow direction, and adjust and control the parameters (temperature, pressure and flow) of the conveying medium. They have functions such as shut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of backflow, pressure stabilization, diversion or overflow pressure relief.

[0003] At present, due to the large number of valve application scenarios and long distances, it is difficult for relevant personnel to intuitively and clearly understand the status of each valve, which in turn affects the timely detection and control of related systems.

[0004] In the existing technology, there are applications that use on-site signage to indicate the valve status, which obviously does not meet the current intelligent needs. Although there are also solutions that use valve signals to indicate the status, most of them are displayed through local indicator lights. It is difficult to meet the current demand for supporting remote visualization. Summary of the invention

[0015] As a specific implementation of the present application, the valve data also includes valve alarm data, and the processing module further obtains a monitoring result corresponding to the alarm level based on the alarm data.

[0016] As a specific implementation method of the present application, the monitoring screen calls the corresponding animation based on the monitoring result to play, so as to achieve visual display.

[0017] As a preferred implementation method of the present application, the remote visualization control valve also includes a video module, which is connected to the processing module. The video module is controlled by a trigger signal generated when the processing module responds to a control instruction to realize the collection of video data.

[0018] As a specific implementation method of the present application, when performing visual display, the corresponding video data is also displayed based on the association of the monitoring results.

[0019] As a specific implementation method of the present application, the communication module is a wireless communication module, which adopts any one of a 4G module, a 5G module, a WiFi module, a Lora module, a Beidou module and a GPRS module.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a remote visualized control valve, the control valve comprising:

[0031] A signal collection module, used to obtain real-time valve data; wherein the valve data includes valve status data;

[0032] A processing module, used for receiving and processing the valve data to obtain corresponding monitoring results;

[0033] A communication module is used to feed back the monitoring results to a remote monitoring terminal; wherein the monitoring terminal is deployed with a monitoring screen and performs visual display based on the monitoring results.

[0034] During implementation, the valve itself has a mature existing structure that should be well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here;

[0035] The valve data includes corresponding high and low levels and analog signals; wherein the analog signal adopts 0-5V, 0-10V, or 4-20mA; the corresponding state data includes open state, closed state and / or specific valve opening value;

[0036] Further, the receiving and processing of the valve data specifically includes:

[0037] According to the state data, extract the specific information of the completed state valve and the uncompleted state valve respectively;

[0038] Count the number corresponding to each valve state;

[0039] A corresponding valve identifier is associated with each valve and used as the corresponding monitoring result.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to meet the needs of intelligence, the processing module is also used to receive control instructions fed back by the monitoring terminal, and control the start / stop or opening and closing angle of the valve based on the control instructions.

[0041] When applied, the monitoring terminal may be a monitoring center, a smart phone, a computer, etc.;

[0042] It should be noted that the monitoring screen includes a plurality of monitoring sub-screens with different functions, each monitoring sub-screen can jump to another, and each is deployed with a corresponding configuration screen.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to obtain more comprehensive information, the valve data also includes valve alarm data, and the processing module also obtains monitoring results corresponding to the alarm level based on the alarm data.

[0044] The monitoring screen calls the corresponding animation based on the monitoring result to play, so as to realize visual display; the animation here includes the corresponding valve opening animation and valve closing animation;

[0045] Specifically, the alarm data refers to the signal data when a fault or alarm occurs; the monitoring result is the corresponding fault state; at the same time, abnormal alarms and indications will be given in the monitoring screen; and corresponding reminder information can also be sent to the smart terminal of relevant personnel through the communication module for timely follow-up processing.

[0046] In this embodiment, the communication module is a wireless communication module, and adopts any one of a 4G module, a 5G module, a WiFi module, a Lora module, a Beidou module and a GPRS module.

[0048] Specifically, the interactive data here include external control, flow, pressure or temperature data, etc.; that is, data from an external third-party system can be received; the control here includes the opening or closing of a valve.

[0049] Furthermore, in another solution, the corresponding position information is also acquired based on the communication module, and the processing module controls the valve in combination with the monitoring result and the position information on the associated path.

[0050] Specifically, the corresponding valves are associated with the position information, and the valves are controlled in combination with the monitoring results and position information on the associated paths. This allows multiple valves to be integrated and controlled in a linked manner, which is more in line with actual application needs and improves the corresponding intelligence and reliability. For example, when an alarm occurs upstream or downstream of the relevant path, the valves on the corresponding path are opened or closed accordingly.

[0051] The above scheme obtains real-time valve data, receives the valve data and processes it to obtain corresponding monitoring results; sends the monitoring results to a remote monitoring terminal; wherein the monitoring terminal is deployed with a monitoring screen, and performs visual display based on the monitoring results; thereby sending the valve status data to the remote monitoring terminal, and combining it with the deployed monitoring screen to realize visual display based on the monitoring results; making it easy for relevant personnel to understand the status of each valve intuitively and clearly; suitable for remote operation of irrigation, chemical industry, and control facilities related to valve pipelines; not only can it save installation materials and labor costs, but it can also improve the utilization rate of the use environment space, reduce safety accidents in dangerous places, and meet the current demand for supporting remote visualization.

[0052] Reference Figure 2An embodiment of the present invention also provides another remote visualized control valve. This solution is based on the above technical solution, but the difference is that the remote visualized control valve also includes a video module, which is connected to the processing module. The video module is controlled by the trigger signal generated when the processing module responds to the control instruction to realize the collection of video data.

[0053] When applied, when visual display is performed, the corresponding video data is also displayed based on the association with the monitoring results; by adopting the application of the above-mentioned solution, the authenticity of the visualization can be achieved while performing remote visualization, and the collected video data can also be used to archive and trace related operations.
