Description

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. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic control system for a vacuum pump unit, which can monitor and adjust the operating status of the vacuum pump unit in real time when the load borne by the vacuum pump unit changes. At the same time, it can quickly adjust the various operating parameters of the vacuum pump unit under different working conditions to avoid the vacuum pump unit being in a bad operating state due to fluctuations in working conditions, thereby ensuring the stability of the vacuum degree.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0007] The automatic control system of the vacuum pump unit described in the present invention includes a liquid ring vacuum pump, which is respectively connected to an air ejector pump and a gas-liquid separation tank. The gas-liquid separation tank, the cooler and the liquid ring vacuum pump are connected in sequence. The liquid ring vacuum pump and the air ejector pump extract process gas from the outside through pipelines. The process gas is mixed with the working liquid in the liquid ring vacuum pump and enters the gas-liquid separation tank for gas-liquid separation. The separated process gas returns to the liquid ring vacuum pump, and the separated working liquid returns to the liquid ring vacuum pump after being cooled by the cooler. An automatic switching control unit for the air ejector pump is provided on the pipeline between the liquid ring vacuum pump and the outside. The automatic switching control unit for the air ejector pump adjusts the suction degree of the air ejector pump and the liquid ring vacuum pump according to the pressure of the outside process gas. A pneumatic return regulating valve PID voltage stabilizing control unit is provided on the gas return pipeline between the gas-liquid separation tank and the liquid ring vacuum pump. The pneumatic return regulating valve PID voltage stabilizing control unit adjusts the flow rate of the return gas according to the pressure of the gas entering the liquid ring vacuum pump. A vacuum pump working liquid alarm and shutdown interlock control unit is provided on the pipeline between the cooler and the liquid ring vacuum pump. The vacuum pump working liquid alarm and shutdown interlock control unit monitors the flow rate of the working liquid in the pipeline and triggers an alarm and / or shuts down the liquid ring vacuum pump when the flow rate is insufficient. A liquid supply and discharge pipeline is provided on the gas-liquid separation tank, and an automatic liquid supply and discharge control unit for the gas-liquid separation tank is provided on the liquid supply and discharge pipeline. The automatic liquid supply and discharge control unit for the gas-liquid separation tank performs liquid supply or liquid discharge operations on the gas-liquid separation tank according to the liquid level of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank.

[0008] Further, the automatic liquid supply and discharge control unit for the gas-liquid separation tank includes a liquid level transmitter, a liquid supply valve, a liquid discharge valve and a liquid level indication control alarm. The liquid level transmitter is cooperatively arranged on the gas-liquid separation tank. An air outlet pipe and a liquid supply pipe are arranged at the top of the gas-liquid separation tank.

The liquid supply valve is cooperatively arranged on the liquid supply pipe, and the liquid discharge valve is cooperatively arranged on the automatic liquid outlet pipe. The liquid level transmitter, the liquid supply valve and the liquid discharge valve are all electrically connected to the liquid level indication control alarm.

[0009] Furthermore, the liquid level transmitter transmits the liquid level signal of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank to the liquid level indication control alarm. When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank is ≤175mm, the liquid level indication control alarm sends an opening command to the liquid replenishing valve. After a delay of 3 seconds, the liquid replenishing valve opens and starts to replenish the working liquid. When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank is ≥250mm, the liquid level indication control alarm sends a closing command to the liquid replenishing valve, the liquid replenishing valve closes, and the replenishing of the working liquid stops. When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank is ≥325mm, the liquid The level indication control alarm sends an open command to the drain valve. After a delay of 3 seconds, the drain valve opens and the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank begins to be discharged. When the liquid level value of the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank is ≤250mm, the level indication control alarm sends a closing command to the drain valve, the drain valve closes, and the discharge of the working fluid stops. When the liquid level value of the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank is ≤100mm, the level indication control alarm triggers a low level alarm. When the liquid level value of the working fluid in the gas-liquid separation tank is ≥400mm, the level indication control alarm triggers a high level alarm.

The second pressure transmitter and the pneumatic regulating valve are both electrically connected to the second pressure transmitter controller.

[0013] Furthermore, pressure transmitter 2 transmits the pressure signal of the process gas in the mixed air intake pipe to pressure transmitter controller 2. When the pressure value of the process gas in the mixed air intake pipe is greater than 5kPa, pressure transmitter controller 2 sends an adjustment instruction to the pneumatic control valve, and the pneumatic control valve reduces the opening; when the pressure value of the process gas in the mixed air intake pipe is less than 5kPa, pressure transmitter controller 2 sends an adjustment instruction to the pneumatic control valve, and the pneumatic control valve increases the opening; when the pressure value of the process gas in the mixed air intake pipe is equal to 5kPa, the pneumatic control valve maintains the opening unchanged.

[0015] Furthermore, the flow transmitter transmits the flow signal of the working fluid in the liquid supply main pipe to the flow alarm controller. When the flow rate of the working fluid in the liquid supply main pipe is ≤5m³ / h, the flow alarm controller triggers a low flow alarm; when the flow rate of the working fluid in the liquid supply main pipe is ≤2m³ / h, the flow alarm controller sends a shutdown command to the motor, and the liquid ring vacuum pump stops working.

[0049] 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;

[0050] AN means alarm;

[0051] K1 represents relay K1, and K2 represents relay K2.

[0052] Control of the liquid replenishing valve 22:

[0053] Opening condition: When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 ≤ 175 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indicating control alarm 24. The liquid level indicating control alarm 24 outputs a high-level signal, which is converted into a physical action through relay K1. The normally open timed closing contact of relay K1 closes after a 3-second delay after being powered on, controlling the opening of the liquid replenishing valve 22. The 3-second delay can prevent the liquid replenishing valve 22 from opening and closing frequently due to small fluctuations in the liquid level, ensuring that the liquid replenishing valve 22 only executes actions after the liquid level is stable and improving the system stability.

[0054] The delay characteristic of the normally open timed closing contact is as follows: Only when the input high-level signal continuously reaches the set delay value of 3 seconds, the contact will close to trigger the subsequent logic; if the high-level signal turns into a low-level signal before 3 seconds, the delay timing will automatically return to zero, and it needs to wait until the signal returns to the high-level signal again to start timing. At the same time, once the signal turns into a low-level signal during the closing process of the contact, the contact will immediately disconnect without additional waiting for the delay.

[0055] When the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 triggers the opening of the liquid replenishing valve 22, the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 forms a feedback mechanism to maintain the high level until the liquid level of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 rises to the liquid level value set for closing the liquid replenishing valve 22.

[0056] Closing condition: When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 ≥ 250 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indicating control alarm 24. The liquid level indicating control alarm 24 inverts the signal through a NOT gate and outputs a low-level signal. After the low-level signal output by the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 under the closing condition and the high-level signal output by the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 under the opening condition undergo an AND gate logic operation, a low-level signal is still output. Relay K1 converts the low-level signal into a physical action, and the normally open timed closing contact of relay K1 disconnects, controlling the closing of the liquid replenishing valve 22.

[0057] The supply voltage of the liquid replenishing valve 22 is 24 VDC, and I1 is the valve position feedback signal of the liquid replenishing valve 22, which is used to feedback the self-state of the liquid replenishing valve 22.

[0058] Control of the liquid discharge valve 23:

[0059] Opening condition: When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 ≥ 325 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indicating control alarm 24. The liquid level indicating 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 power-on delay of the relay K2 closes after a 3-second delay after power-on, controlling the opening of the drain valve 23. The 3-second delay can prevent the drain valve 23 from opening and closing frequently due to small fluctuations in the liquid level, ensuring that the drain valve 23 only executes the action after the liquid level is stable, and improving the system stability.

[0060] When the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 triggers the opening of the drain valve 23, the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 forms a return mechanism to maintain the high level until the liquid level of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 drops to the liquid level value set for closing the drain valve 23.

[0061] Closing condition: When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 ≤ 250 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indicating control alarm 24. The liquid level indicating 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 indicating control alarm 24 under the closing condition and the high-level signal output by the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 under the opening condition are subjected to AND gate logic operation, and then continue to output a low-level signal. The relay K2 converts the low-level signal into a physical action, and the normally open contact of the power-on delay of the relay K2 disconnects, controlling the closing of the drain valve 23.

[0062] The supply voltage of the drain valve 23 is 24 VDC, and I2 is the valve position feedback signal of the drain valve 23, which is used to feedback the self-state of the drain valve 23.

[0063] Liquid level alarm:

[0064] When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 ≤ 100 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indicating control alarm 24, and the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 issues an alarm signal.

[0065] When the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas-liquid separation tank 4 ≥ 400 mm, the liquid level transmitter 21 transmits the liquid level signal to the liquid level indicating control alarm 24, and the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 issues an alarm signal.

[0066] As Figure 7 shown in the figure, represents an AND gate. The logic rule of the AND gate is: only when all input signals are high level, the output signal is high level; as long as one input signal is low level, the output signal is low level;

[0067] 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.

[0068] 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;

[0070] K1 represents relay K1, and K2 represents relay K2.

[0071] Bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and loop pneumatic ball valve 29 control:

[0072] When the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 is turned on, a high level signal is output;

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] Main pneumatic ball valve 28 control:

[0076] When the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 is turned on, a high level signal is output;

[0077] 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] 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.

[0081] 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.

[0082] Working principle and process:

[0083] Gas suction:

[0084] 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 main intake pipe 5. The atmospheric jet pump 2 works in coordination with the liquid ring vacuum pump 1, and their cooperation mode will be adjusted accordingly based on the pressure change in the main intake pipe 5. When the pressure transmitter 1 - 26 detects that the process gas pressure value in the main intake pipe 5 > 10 kPa, the main pneumatic ball valve 28 opens, and the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 close. At this time, only the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 is used for gas suction operation. When the pressure transmitter 1 - 26 detects that the process gas pressure value in the main intake pipe 5 is between 8 kPa and 10 kPa, the main pneumatic ball valve 28, the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27, and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 all open. The atmospheric jet pump 2 extracts process gas through the bypass pipe 9, and the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 extracts process gas through the intake pipe 3. The two simultaneously extract process gas from the outside. This parallel working method increases the overall pumping flow rate and improves the pumping efficiency. When the pressure transmitter 1 - 26 detects that the process gas pressure value in the main intake pipe 5 < 8 kPa, the main pneumatic ball valve 28 closes, and the bypass pneumatic ball valve 27 and the loop pneumatic ball valve 29 open. The atmospheric jet pump 2 and the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 extract process gas from the outside in series. The gas is first sucked by the atmospheric jet pump 2 and then secondarily sucked by the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 to ensure that the vacuum pump unit can stably perform the pumping work in a low - pressure environment.

[0085] Gas - liquid separation and liquid level control:

[0086] After the extracted process gas enters the liquid ring vacuum pump 1, it mixes with the working liquid to form a mixed fluid, which is then discharged into the gas - liquid separation tank 4 together. After the mixed fluid enters the gas - liquid separation tank 4, it separates. The working liquid settles to the bottom of the gas - liquid separation tank 4, and the extracted process gas moves upward and discharges from the gas - liquid separation tank 4. The liquid level transmitter 21 monitors the liquid level value of the working liquid in the gas - liquid separation tank 4 in real - time. When the liquid level value ≤ 175 mm, the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 controls the liquid filling valve 22 to open, and fills the gas - liquid separation tank 4 with liquid from the liquid filling pipe 7. When the liquid level value ≥ 250 mm, the liquid filling valve 22 closes. When the liquid level value ≥ 325 mm, the drain valve 23 opens, and the working liquid in the gas - liquid separation tank 4 is discharged through the automatic liquid discharge pipe 25. When the liquid level value ≤ 250 mm, the drain valve 23 closes. When the liquid level value ≤ 100 mm or the liquid level value ≥ 400 mm, the liquid level indicating control alarm 24 triggers low - level and high - level alarms respectively, so as to maintain the liquid level within a reasonable range and ensure the normal operation of the gas - liquid separation tank 4.

[0087] Working liquid circulation and cooling:

[0088] The working fluid at the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank 4 flows into the cooler 13 through the liquid inlet pipe 12, and the cooled working fluid returns to the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 through the main liquid supply pipe 15 and the liquid supply branch pipe 16. The drain branch pipe 17 collects the working fluid in the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 and discharges it through the drain pipe 18.

[0089] Pressure regulation:

[0090] The pressure transmitter II 32 monitors the pressure value of the process gas in the mixed intake pipe 19 in real time. When the detected pressure value > 5 kPa, the pressure indicating controller II 34 will send an instruction to the pneumatic control valve 33 to reduce its opening. Since the pneumatic control valve 33 is installed on the first return pipe 8, one end of the first return pipe 8 is connected to the mixed intake pipe 19, and the other end of the first return pipe 8 is connected to the gas outlet pipe 6 at the top of the gas-liquid separation tank 4. The reduction of the opening of the pneumatic control valve 33 will cause the process gas flowing back from the gas outlet pipe 6 through the first return pipe 8 to the mixed intake pipe 19 to decrease, thereby reducing the pressure of the process gas entering the mixed intake pipe 19 and avoiding adverse effects on subsequent equipment caused by excessive pressure. When the pressure value < 5 kPa, the pressure indicating controller II 34 controls the pneumatic control valve 33 to increase its opening. At this time, the process gas flowing back from the gas outlet pipe 6 through the first return pipe 8 to the mixed intake pipe 19 increases, and more process gas returns to the mixed intake pipe 19, thereby increasing the pressure of the process gas entering the mixed intake pipe 19 and ensuring that the pressure is within a suitable range. When the pressure value = 5 kPa, the pressure indicating controller II 34 will control the pneumatic control valve 33 to maintain the current opening unchanged, ensuring that the entire vacuum pump unit operates under stable pressure conditions.

[0091] Flow monitoring and protection:

[0092] The flow transmitter 35 monitors the flow value of the working fluid in the main liquid supply pipe 15. When the flow value ≤ 5 m³ / h, the flow indicating alarm controller 36 triggers a low-flow alarm; when the flow value ≤ 2 m³ / h, the flow indicating alarm controller 36 sends a shutdown instruction to the motor 37 to stop the operation of the liquid ring vacuum pump 1, avoiding damage to the liquid ring vacuum pump 1 due to insufficient working fluid flow, extending its service life, and reducing maintenance costs.
