[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] A wheel washer antifreeze control system for construction waste, the system comprises a temperature detection device 1 and a PLC control system 2, the PLC control system 2 is respectively connected to the temperature detection device 1, a heating device 4, an actuator 5, a back-blowing device 6 and a drainage device 7, the temperature detection device 1 is arranged on the outer wall of the end of the water pipeline and below the liquid level in the water tank, is connected to the signal isolator through a shielded cable, and is connected to the PLC control system 2 after signal isolation, the heating device 4 comprises a heating rod and a heating belt, the heating rod is arranged at the bottom of the wheel washer water tank or the outside of the four side walls, the heating belt is arranged on the outer walls of all the water pipelines and the outer walls of the water pump, the actuator 5 is the wheel washer control system, the outlet pipeline of the back-blowing device 6 is connected to the water pump outlet, and the wind pressure is sent to the terminal nozzle through the water pipeline, and the drainage device 7 is installed at the lowest end of the pipeline.
[0031] Furthermore, the back-blowing device 6 is an air compressor.
[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a touch screen 3, which is connected to the PLC control system 2 and is used to display control pages and control the PLC control system.
[0033] The PLC control system 2 is divided into automatic control and manual control. The staff can switch through the operation button, and manually control each component through the touch screen 3, or set it to automatic control. The manual control is added to prevent each device from being manually started and debugged when the device is being debugged or in a fault state.
[0034] Furthermore, the PLC control system 2 includes a PLC controller, circuit breakers QF0-QF5, relays KA1-KA4, and contactors KM1-KM3. The PLC controller receives the temperature control signal of the temperature detection device 1 and the control signal of the operation button to control the power-on operation of the heating device 4, the back-blowing device 6, and the drainage device 7.
[0035] The following is an explanation using automatic control as an example. If the water temperature is within the normal operating temperature range (generally set to be higher than 0°C), the equipment operates normally. At this time, when a vehicle passes by, the actuator 5 of the wheel washer system for construction waste, that is, the wheel washer control system operates normally, washes the vehicle, and the heating system is in standby mode. In a low temperature environment, the temperature detection device 1 monitors the water temperature in real time. Before the wheel washer starts working, if the water temperature drops to the set lower limit temperature (such as 0°C), the temperature detection device 1 sends a signal to the PLC controller. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller starts the heating system through internal logic judgment, and the heating element starts working, converting electrical energy into thermal energy to heat the water in the water tank and the water in the pipe. When the water temperature rises to the set upper limit temperature (such as 3°C), the PLC controller receives the signal from the temperature detection device again, and after internal logic judgment, turns off the heating system, thereby realizing automatic control of the water temperature and preventing the water from freezing in the wheel washer. When the wheel washer is not working, the PLC controller outputs a signal to start the backflush device 6, and the water in the pipeline is discharged by compressed air. At the same time, the drainage device 7 is started regularly to discharge the water at the lower end of the pipeline to prevent the water from freezing.
[0036] Furthermore, the PLC controller input end is connected to the operation button and the temperature detection device, the output end is connected to the relay KA1-KA4 coil and the fault indicator light, the normally open contact of the relay KA1-KA3 is connected between the contactor KM1-KM3 coil and the power supply, and the normally open contact of the relay KA4 is connected between the solenoid valve coil YV1 and the power supply. Figure 3 The PLC controller shown is a Siemens 200smart series small PLC, and the temperature detection device is a Pt100 temperature detection device.
[0037] Furthermore, the PLC control system includes a first heating electrical main circuit, a second heating electrical main circuit, a back-blowing device electrical main circuit and a drainage device electrical main circuit, wherein the first heating electrical main circuit is connected in sequence from the power supply end to the circuit breakers QF0, QF1, the contactor KM1 and the first heating device, the second heating electrical main circuit is connected in sequence from the power supply end to the circuit breakers QF0, QF2, the contactor KM2 and the second heating device, the back-blowing device electrical main circuit is connected in sequence from the power supply end to the circuit breakers QF0, QF3, the contactor KM3 and the back-blowing device, and the drainage device electrical main circuit is connected in sequence from the power supply end to the circuit breakers QF0, QF5, the fuse FU1 and the drainage device.
[0038] Furthermore, a thermal relay FR1 is provided in the first heating electrical main circuit, and the thermal relay FR1 is placed between the contactor KM1 and the first heating device; a thermal relay FR2 is provided in the second heating electrical main circuit, and the thermal relay FR2 is placed between the contactor KM2 and the second heating device; a thermal relay FR3 is provided in the back-blowing device electrical main circuit, and the thermal relay FR3 is placed between the contactor KM3 and the back-blowing device.
[0039] Working process:
[0040] 1. When the conversion switch is in the automatic position, the ambient temperature is detected by the temperature detection device and transmitted to the signal isolation module through a shielded cable. The isolated temperature signal is uploaded to the PLC controller. When the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature of the touch screen, the PLC controller automatically outputs the KA1-KA2 signal through logical judgment. After KA1 and KA2 are energized, the KM1 and KM2 contactors are energized, and the heating device is energized through the thermal relays FR1 and FR2 to start heating; when the ambient temperature is higher than the set temperature, or the overheating relays FR1 and FR2 are activated, the PLC controller internally makes a logical judgment, the output relays KA1-KA2 lose power, the contactors KM1 and KM2 are disconnected, and the heating device stops heating.
[0041] When the operation of the wheel washing machine for construction waste is completed and the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the PLC controller makes a logical judgment, the output relay KA3 is energized, the contactor KM3 is energized, and the back-blowing device is energized through the thermal relay FR3. The back-blowing device starts to back-blow the wheel washing machine pipeline and the end nozzle to blow away the residual water droplets on the nozzle to ensure smooth flow. When the thermal relay FR3 acts, the PLC controller receives a signal or stops the output of the relay KA3 at a fixed time, the contactor KM3 is disconnected, and the back-blowing device stops running.
[0042] When the PLC controller stops the output of relay KA3 at a fixed time, the output relay KA4 is judged by logic. After KA4 is energized, the solenoid valve of the drainage device is connected through the power supply of fuse FU1, and the drainage device works to drain the residual water droplets in the pipes and nozzles to prevent the nozzles from being blocked or the pipes from bursting due to freezing of water droplets. When the PLC controller stops the output of relay KA4 at a fixed time, the solenoid valve of the drainage device loses power and disconnects, and the drainage device stops working.
[0043] 2. When the manual switch is in the manual position. Click the Start Heating 1 button, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA1, KM 1 is energized after KA1 is powered, and the first heating device is connected through QF0, QF1, KM1, and FR1 to start working; click the Stop Heating 1 button, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA1 is de-energized, after KA1 is de-energized, KM1 is disconnected, and the first heating device stops working. Click the Start Heating 2 button, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA2, KM2 is energized after KA2 is powered, and the second heating device is connected through QF0, QF2, KM2, and FR2 to start working; click the Stop Heating button, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA2 is de-energized, after KA2 is de-energized, KM2 is disconnected, and the second heating device stops working. Click the start backflush button, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA3, KA3 is energized, KM3 is energized, the backflush device is connected through QF0, QF3, KM3, FR3 to start working; click the stop backflush button, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA3 is de-energized, KA3 is de-energized, KM3 is disconnected, and the backflush device stops working. Long press the manual button of the drainage device, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA4, KA4 is energized, the drainage device is energized through QF0, QF4, FU1 to start working; release the manual button of the drainage device, the PLC controller receives the signal, through the logic output relay KA4, the drainage device stops working.
