Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of anti-collision bumper pad function controllers, in particular to an anti-collision bumper pad function controller. Background Art

[0002] The auxiliary facilities for large ship T-shaped docking are equipped with two sets of intelligent water and gas control devices, six sets of actuators, and three anti-collision pads. The three are connected through pipelines to realize the injection and drainage of the anti-collision pads and the injection and exhaust of the anti-collision pads, and realize the draft and internal pressure adjustment of the anti-collision pads. The intelligent water and gas control devices and actuators are fixedly installed, and the anti-collision pads are movable equipment. The anti-collision pads are placed on special storage racks when not in operation, and are hung around the actuators when in operation, so as to facilitate the actuators to inject water and gas and electrical control of the anti-collision pads.

[0003] Because the anti-collision pad is large in size and far away from the actuator, it is troublesome to connect the pipelines between the two when inspecting the anti-collision pad, which makes inspection difficult; and because the drain valve, exhaust valve, internal pressure sensor, draft sensor and other components inside the anti-collision pad must be powered on for testing, the actual inspection of the anti-collision pad consumes manpower and material resources, which is not conducive to improving on-site operation efficiency. When the equipment is performing ship T docking operations, if there is a serious failure of the intelligent water and gas device, the anti-collision pad has no other control method, which may have harmful effects. Traditionally, the control cable is directly connected to the actuator and the anti-collision pad at the output end of the actuator, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the existing solution will cause more serious wear on the cable, which is not conducive to maintaining the reliability of the equipment. In addition, when the intelligent water and gas control device for ship T docking operations fails, there is no effective solution. Summary of the invention

[0004] 1. Technical issues to be resolved In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-collision bumper function controller to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] (II) Technical solution To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a collision avoidance pad function controller, comprising a PLC controller, an air compressor, and a cable, wherein a side cover, an HMI touch screen, an operating knob, a temperature and humidity sensor, a light intensity sensor, and an aviation socket are fixedly installed on the PLC controller, a terminal post is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side cover, a compressed air source pipeline is fixedly connected to the exhaust port of the air compressor, one end of the cable is electrically connected to the aviation socket, the compressed air source pipeline is connected to the collision avoidance pad inflation pipeline on the collision avoidance pad through an air injection pipeline, a pad terminal box is fixedly installed on the collision avoidance pad, the pad terminal box is electrically connected to the other end of the cable, and the PLC controller and the air compressor are electrically connected through the electronic connecting wire in the junction box.

[0006] Preferably, the sensor is a temperature and humidity sensor or a light intensity sensor.

[0007] Preferably, the PLC controller is electrically connected to the HMI touch screen, operating knob, sensor, and aviation socket.

[0008] Preferably, aviation plugs are fixedly installed at both ends of the cable, and an aviation socket is fixedly installed on the pad terminal box. The aviation plugs at both ends of the cable are plug-in electrically connected to the pad terminal box and the aviation socket on the PLC controller.

[0009] Preferably, the gas injection pipeline adopts a PU hose.

[0010] Preferably, the cable is a highly flexible drag chain cable.

[0011] Preferably, a valve is fixedly installed on the compressed air source pipeline.

[0012] Preferably, the terminal posts in the side cover are electrically connected to the HMI touch screen, the operating knob, the sensor, the aviation plug socket and the junction box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-collision pad function controller, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The anti-collision pad function controller can realize the switch action of the drainage valve and the exhaust valve in the anti-collision pad, and check the internal pressure sensor and the draft depth sensor through a simple cable connection; 2. The anti-collision pad function controller increases emergency protection (reliability). When it fails, the anti-collision pad function controller can be used to achieve independent control of the anti-collision pad. When the aviation plug connection fails, the terminal can be used to control the valve separately; 3. The anti-collision pad function controller does not need to connect the anti-collision pad with the actuator through the original heavy pipeline, which reduces manpower consumption. The system automatically performs the three-seat fender inflation and pressure maintenance test, and the automatic internal pressure adjustment and automatic inspection can save manpower consumption and time; 4. The anti-collision fender function controller automatically performs inflation and pressure-maintaining tests on the three-seat fenders through the system. Automatic internal pressure adjustment and automatic inspection can be performed by non-specific trained personnel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Working principle: First, when the inflation pressure test starts, the PLC controller 1 reads the 4-20mA signal of the internal pressure sensor of the three fenders respectively, converts it into the current ball internal pressure and displays it on the HMI touch screen 3, and at the same time determines whether the current pressure reaches the pressure test pressure. If the current internal pressure of a fender is greater than the pressure holding pressure, the anti-collision fender exhaust valve is opened to exhaust. If the current internal pressure is less than the pressure holding pressure, the gas injection solenoid valve is opened to inject gas. The internal air pressure of each fender is adjusted to the pressure holding pressure one by one and then left to stand for 1 hour. After internal rebalancing, the internal pressure is adjusted to the test pressure by exhaust or gas injection, and the timing is started and the internal pressure change is recorded. After the timing ends, it is determined whether the pressure test is passed by the internal pressure change, and the result is displayed on the HMI touch screen 3; when the automatic When adjusting the internal pressure, the PLC controller 1 reads the reading of the internal pressure sensor of the anti-collision pad, converts it to obtain the current ball internal pressure value, and then adjusts the internal pressure to the set value through the aforementioned injection and exhaust process, and displays the result on the HMI touch screen 3; when starting automatic inspection, the PLC controller 1 reads the reading of the internal pressure sensor of the anti-collision pad, converts it to obtain the current ball internal pressure value, and approaches the stored air pressure value according to the internal pressure value. By collecting data from the temperature and humidity sensor and the light intensity sensor as a reference, the reasonable range of internal pressure change when inflation and deflation are performed for a certain period of time is calculated and compared with the actual result. If the actual result exceeds the reasonable range of the calculation, it is reviewed according to the set number of repetitions. If the review result still does not meet the standard, the staff is reminded.
