Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid variable capacity machinery, and in particular relates to an automatic control system for a vacuum pump unit. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum obtaining equipment is a device used to create and maintain a vacuum environment in a specific space, and it plays an important role in industrial production. The application scope of vacuum obtaining equipment is very wide, covering many important fields such as semiconductor manufacturing, food packaging, and chemical analysis. Among them, the market demand for non-standard customized and intelligent skid-mounted integrated vacuum pump units according to different needs is showing an increasing trend, and it has become a new development direction for vacuum obtaining equipment.
[0003] For skid-mounted integrated vacuum pump units, their automated operation and precise adjustment are mainly achieved through the automatic control logic system. The automatic control logic system is a highly integrated automated control system that integrates key components such as sensors, actuators, and controllers. However, in actual operation, the automatic control logic system often encounters various operating fluctuations, such as changes in the load on the vacuum pump unit, unstable power supply, and interference from the external environment. When these situations occur, a series of adverse effects will occur, resulting in unstable vacuum, which in turn affects product quality and production efficiency.
[0004] Chinese patent CN105484969A discloses a vacuum pump system having a main vacuum pump for evacuating a chamber. An auxiliary pump is connected to the outlet of the main vacuum pump. In addition, a control device is provided for enabling the auxiliary pump within a limited range of pressure present at the outlet. The control device only includes mechanical components. The patent realizes automatic switching of the auxiliary pump through a mechanical structure, effectively reducing energy consumption in standby mode, but the control parameters of the patent are single, and the control logic only relies on the pressure at the outlet of the main vacuum pump, which is difficult to cope with complex control requirements under multiple operating conditions. When the vacuum pump unit faces load changes, abnormal working fluid level, etc., simple mechanical pressure control cannot achieve the adjustment of operating parameters such as liquid level, flow, and multi-pump collaborative work, resulting in unstable vacuum or equipment operation risks.

The logic rule of NOT gate is: the output signal is the opposite state of the input signal, that is, when the input signal is high, the output signal is low; when the input signal is low, the output signal is high. Represents an OR gate. The logic rule of the OR gate is: as long as one of the input signals is high, the output signal is high; only when all the input signals are low, the output signal is low; AN means alarm; K1 represents relay K1, and K2 represents relay K2.
[0030] Liquid replenishment valve 22 controls: Opening condition: When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 is ≤175mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indication control alarm 24, and the liquid level indication control alarm 24 outputs a high-level signal, which is converted into a physical action through the relay K1. The normally open contact of the relay K1 closes after a delay of 3 seconds after power-on, and controls the liquid replenishment valve 22 to open. The 3-second delay can prevent the liquid replenishment valve 22 from opening and closing frequently due to slight fluctuations in the liquid level, ensuring that the liquid replenishment valve 22 is activated only after the liquid level is stable, thereby improving system stability.
[0031] The delay characteristics of the normally open contact with power-on delay are as follows: the contact will close to trigger the subsequent logic only when the input high-level signal continues to reach the set delay value of 3 seconds; if the high-level signal turns to a low-level signal before 3 seconds, the delay timing will automatically return to zero, and the timing will restart when the signal returns to a high-level signal again. At the same time, once the signal turns to a low-level signal during the contact closure process, the contact will be disconnected immediately without additional waiting delay.
[0032] When the liquid level indication control alarm 24 triggers the refill valve 22 to open, the liquid level indication control alarm 24 forms a return mechanism for maintaining a high level until the liquid level of the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 rises to the liquid level value set for closing the refill valve 22.
[0033] Closing condition: When the liquid level value of the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 is ≥250mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indication control alarm 24, and the liquid level indication control alarm 24 inverts the signal through the NOT gate and outputs a low-level signal. The low-level signal output by the liquid level indication control alarm 24 under the closed condition and the high-level signal output by the liquid level indication control alarm 24 under the open condition are subjected to AND gate logic operation and continue to output a low-level signal. Relay K1 converts the low-level signal into a physical action, and the power-on delay normally open contact of relay K1 is disconnected, controlling the liquid replenishment valve 22 to close.
[0034] The supply voltage of the liquid replenishing valve 22 is 24 VDC. I1 is the valve position feedback signal of the liquid replenishing valve 22 , which is used to feedback the state of the liquid replenishing valve 22 itself.
[0035] Drain valve 23 control: Opening condition: When the liquid level of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 is ≥325mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indication control alarm 24, and the liquid level indication control alarm 24 outputs a high-level signal, which is converted into a physical action through the relay K2. The normally open contact of the relay K2 is closed after a delay of 3 seconds after power-on, and the drain valve 23 is controlled to open. The 3-second delay can prevent the drain valve 23 from opening and closing frequently due to slight fluctuations in the liquid level, ensuring that the drain valve 23 is activated only after the liquid level is stable, thereby improving system stability.
[0036] When the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 triggers the drain valve 23 to open, the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 forms a return mechanism for maintaining a high level until the liquid level of the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 drops to the liquid level value set for closing the drain valve 23.
[0037] Closing condition: When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 is ≤250mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indication control alarm 24, and the liquid level indication control alarm 24 inverts the signal through the NOT gate and outputs a low-level signal. The low-level signal output by the liquid level indication control alarm 24 under the closed condition and the high-level signal output by the liquid level indication control alarm 24 under the open condition are subjected to AND gate logic operation and continue to output a low-level signal. Relay K2 converts the low-level signal into a physical action, and the power-on delay normally open contact of relay K2 is disconnected, controlling the drain valve 23 to close.
[0038] The power supply voltage of the drain valve 23 is 24 VDC. I2 is the valve position feedback signal of the drain valve 23 , which is used to feedback the state of the drain valve 23 itself.
[0039] Liquid level alarm: When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 is ≤100 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indication control alarm 24, and the liquid level indication control alarm 24 sends an alarm signal.
[0040] When the liquid level of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 is ≥400 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indication control alarm 24, and the liquid level indication control alarm 24 sends an alarm signal.
[0041] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, It represents the AND gate. The logic rule of the AND gate is: the output signal is high only when all input signals are high; the output signal is low as long as one input signal is low. It represents the NOT gate. The logic rule of the NOT gate is that the output signal is the opposite state of the input signal. That is, when the input signal is high, the output signal is low; when the input signal is low, the output signal is high. Represents an OR gate. The logic rule of the OR gate is: as long as one of the input signals is high, the output signal is high; only when all the input signals are low, the output signal is low; AN means alarm; K1 represents relay K1, and K2 represents relay K2.
[0042] Bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and loop pneumatic ball valve 29 control: When the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 is turned on, a high level signal is output; When the pressure transmitter 26 detects that the pressure value of the process gas in the intake main pipe 5 is greater than 10 kPa, the pressure transmitter 26 transmits the pressure signal to the pressure transmitter controller 30, and the pressure transmitter controller 30 inverts the signal through the NOT gate and outputs a low-level signal; the low-level signal output by the pressure transmitter controller 30 under the condition of pressure value greater than 10 kPa and the high-level signal output by the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 under the ON condition are subjected to AND gate logic operation, and continue to output a low-level signal, and the relay K1 receives the low-level signal to control the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 to close.
[0043] When the pressure transmitter 26 detects that the pressure value of the process gas in the intake main pipe 5 is ≤10kPa, the pressure transmitter 26 transmits the pressure signal to the pressure transmitter controller 30, and the pressure transmitter controller 30 inverts the signal through the NOT gate and outputs a high-level signal; after the high-level signal output by the pressure transmitter controller 30 under the condition of pressure value ≤10kPa and the high-level signal output by the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 under the ON condition undergoes AND gate logic operation, the high-level signal continues to be output, and the relay K1 receives the high-level signal to control the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 to open. When the pressure transmitter controller 30 triggers the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 to open, the pressure transmitter controller 30 forms a return mechanism to maintain the high-level signal and keep the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 open.
[0044] Main pneumatic ball valve 28 control: When the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 is turned on, a high level signal is output; When the pressure transmitter 26 detects that the pressure value of the process gas in the intake main pipe 5 is ≥8kPa, the pressure transmitter 26 transmits the pressure signal to the pressure transmitter controller 30, and the pressure transmitter controller 30 inverts the signal through the NOT gate and outputs a high-level signal; after the high-level signal output by the pressure transmitter controller 30 under the condition of pressure value ≥8kPa and the high-level signal output by the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 under the opening condition undergoes AND gate logic operation, the high-level signal continues to be output, and the relay K2 receives the high-level signal to control the main pneumatic ball valve 28 to open. When the pressure transmitter controller 30 triggers the main pneumatic ball valve 28 to open, the pressure transmitter controller 30 forms a return mechanism to maintain the high-level signal and keep the main pneumatic ball valve 28 open.
[0045] When the pressure transmitter 26 detects that the pressure value of the process gas in the intake main pipe 5 is less than 8 kPa, the pressure transmitter 26 transmits the pressure signal to the pressure transmitter controller 30, and the pressure transmitter controller 30 inverts the signal through the NOT gate and outputs a low-level signal; the low-level signal output by the pressure transmitter controller 30 under the condition of pressure value less than 8 kPa and the high-level signal output by the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 under the ON condition are subjected to AND gate logic operation, and continue to output a low-level signal, and the relay K2 receives the low-level signal to control the main pneumatic ball valve 28 to close.
[0046] The power supply voltage of the main pneumatic ball valve 28, the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 are all 24VDC. I1 is the valve position feedback signal of the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29, which is used to feedback the valve's own state. I2 is the valve position feedback signal of the main pneumatic ball valve 28, which is used to feedback the valve's own state.
[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, when the flow rate of the working fluid in the liquid supply main pipe 15 is ≤5m³ / h, the flow transmitter 35 transmits the flow signal to the flow alarm controller 36, and the flow alarm controller 36 sends an alarm signal.
[0048] When the flow rate of the working fluid in the liquid supply main pipe 15 is ≤2m³ / h, the flow transmitter 35 transmits the flow signal to the flow alarm controller 36, and the flow alarm controller 36 sends a stop command to the motor 37, and the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 stops working.
[0049] Working principle and process: Gas suction: Driven by the motor 37, the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 starts to operate, and extracts process gas from the outside through the intake pipe 3, the mixed intake pipe 19 and the intake main pipe 5. The atmospheric jet pump 2 works in coordination with the liquid ring vacuum pump 1, and the coordination mode of the two will be adjusted accordingly according to the pressure change in the intake main pipe 5. When the pressure transmitter 26 detects that the process gas pressure value in the intake main pipe 5 is greater than 10kPa, the main pneumatic ball valve 28 is opened, and the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 are closed. At this time, the gas suction operation is only carried out by the liquid ring vacuum pump 1. When the pressure transmitter 26 detects that the process gas pressure value in the intake pipe 5 is between 8kPa and 10kPa, the main pneumatic ball valve 28, the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 are all opened, the atmospheric jet pump 2 extracts the process gas through the bypass pipe 9, and the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 extracts the process gas through the intake pipe 3. The two extract the process gas from the outside at the same time. This parallel working mode increases the overall air extraction flow and improves the air extraction efficiency. When the pressure transmitter 26 detects that the process gas pressure value in the intake pipe 5 is less than 8kPa, the main pneumatic ball valve 28 is closed, the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 are opened, and the atmospheric jet pump 2 and the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 are connected in series to extract the process gas from the outside. The gas is first sucked by the atmospheric jet pump 2, and then sucked by the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 for the second time, ensuring that the vacuum pump unit can stably perform air extraction work even in a low-pressure environment.
[0050] Gas-liquid separation and liquid level control: After the extracted process gas enters the liquid ring vacuum pump 1, it mixes with the working fluid to form a mixed fluid, and is discharged into the gas-liquid separation tank 4 together. After the mixed fluid enters the gas-liquid separation tank 4, it is separated, the working fluid settles to the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank 4, and the extracted process gas moves upward and is discharged from the gas-liquid separation tank 4. The liquid level transmitter 21 monitors the liquid level value of the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 in real time. When the liquid level value is ≤175mm, the liquid level indication control alarm 24 controls the liquid replenishment valve 22 to open, and replenishes liquid from the liquid replenishment pipe 7 to the gas-liquid separation tank 4. When the liquid level value is ≥250mm, the liquid replenishment valve 22 is closed. When the liquid level value is ≥325mm, the drain valve 23 is opened, and the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 is discharged through the automatic liquid outlet pipe 25. When the liquid level value is ≤250mm, the drain valve 23 is closed. When the liquid level value is ≤100mm or the liquid level value is ≥400mm, the liquid level indication control alarm 24 triggers the low liquid level alarm and the high liquid level alarm respectively, thereby maintaining the liquid level within a reasonable range and ensuring the normal operation of the gas-liquid separation tank 4.
[0051] Working fluid circulation and cooling: The working liquid at the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank 4 flows into the cooler 13 through the liquid inlet pipe 12 for cooling, and the cooled working liquid returns to the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 through the liquid supply main pipe 15 and the liquid supply branch pipe 16. The drain branch pipe 17 collects the working liquid in the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 and discharges it through the drain pipe 18.
[0052] Pressure Regulation: The pressure transmitter 2 32 monitors the pressure value of the process gas in the mixed air inlet pipe 19 in real time. When the pressure value is detected to be greater than 5kPa, the pressure indication control 2 34 will issue a command to the pneumatic control valve 33 to reduce its opening. Since the pneumatic control valve 33 is installed on the return air pipe 18, one end of the return air pipe 8 is connected to the mixed air inlet pipe 19, and the other end of the return air pipe 8 is connected to the outlet pipe 6 at the top of the gas-liquid separation tank 4, the reduction in the opening of the pneumatic control valve 33 will lead to a reduction in the process gas flowing back from the outlet pipe 6 through the return air pipe 18 to the mixed air inlet pipe 19, thereby reducing the pressure of the process gas entering the mixed air inlet pipe 19, and avoiding excessive pressure from having an adverse effect on subsequent equipment. When the pressure value is less than 5kPa, the pressure indicating control 2 34 controls the pneumatic regulating valve 33 to increase the opening. At this time, the process gas flowing back from the outlet pipe 6 to the mixed air intake pipe 19 through the return pipe 1 8 increases, and more process gas returns to the mixed air intake pipe 19, thereby increasing the pressure of the process gas entering the mixed air intake pipe 19 to ensure that the pressure is within a suitable range. When the pressure value = 5kPa, the pressure indicating control 2 34 controls the pneumatic regulating valve 33 to keep the current opening unchanged, ensuring that the entire vacuum pump unit operates under stable pressure conditions.
[0053] Flow monitoring and protection: The flow transmitter 35 monitors the flow value of the working fluid in the liquid supply main pipe 15. When the flow value is ≤5m³ / h, the flow indication alarm controller 36 triggers a low flow alarm; when the flow value is ≤2m³ / h, the flow indication alarm controller 36 sends a shutdown command to the motor 37 to stop the liquid ring vacuum pump 1, thereby avoiding damage to the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 due to insufficient working fluid flow, extending the service life and reducing maintenance costs.
