Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of pipeline transportation, the precise control of liquid level is crucial. Traditional pipeline transportation control systems have many deficiencies in liquid level monitoring and control. On the one hand, the accuracy of liquid level measurement devices is limited, and measurement errors may lead to misjudgment of the actual liquid level, thereby affecting the stability and safety of pipeline transportation. For example, in the prior art, when monitoring the liquid level, it is mostly carried out through a liquid level gauge. When there is a monitoring error in the liquid level gauge and the staff fails to discover it in time, it may lead to misjudgment of the actual liquid level, thereby affecting the stability and safety of pipeline transportation. The monitoring means are relatively single, and when there is a monitoring error, it is necessary for the staff to correct it.

[0003] On the other hand, existing systems often lack effective prediction of liquid level change trends and hierarchical control strategies. They are unable to adjust control measures in a timely and reasonable manner according to the dynamic changes of the liquid level, making it difficult to quickly and accurately respond when facing abnormal fluctuations in the liquid level, and prone to problems such as pipeline blockage and pressure imbalance. In addition, the different requirements for liquid level control under different working conditions have not been fully considered, resulting in poor adaptability of the system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more advanced automatic pipeline transportation control system driven by the signal feedback of a liquid level gauge to improve the accuracy, stability of liquid level control and the adaptability of the system.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of the pipeline automatic conveying control system driven by the signal feedback of the liquid level gauge of the present invention are as follows: 1. By simultaneously deploying a liquid level gauge and a liquid level height acquisition camera to collect liquid level data and correcting the measurement error according to their respective calibration parameters, the liquid level gauge can calculate the actual height by correcting the measurement signal value according to the calibration parameters, and the acquisition camera can correct the liquid level data through the relationship between the physical height and the pixel height of the feature points. And when a monitoring error occurs, both can automatically correct the error, which effectively avoids the misjudgment of the liquid level caused by equipment errors, greatly improves the accuracy of liquid level measurement, provides a reliable data basis for the precise control of the pipeline conveying process. Considering the data collected by the liquid level gauge and the acquisition camera comprehensively, when the fluctuation degree coefficients of both are within the threshold range, the weighted average value is taken. The liquid level gauge has an advantage in continuous measurement, while the acquisition camera can provide additional information in visualization and complex scenarios. The combination of the two combines the advantages and reduces the limitations of a single device, and more accurate and comprehensive data reflecting the liquid level situation can be obtained; 2. By calculating the liquid level deviation value, the deviation degree between the current liquid level and the target liquid level can be clarified, and then combined with the liquid level change trend prediction coefficient to judge the change trend and stability of the liquid level. This enables the system to accurately understand the real-time state and development trend of the liquid level, provides an accurate basis for subsequent control, and avoids blind operation. Based on the liquid level change trend prediction coefficient, the change direction of the liquid level can be predicted in advance. When the liquid level has not reached the dangerous state, measures can be taken in advance through hierarchical control for intervention. For example, in the rising trend of the liquid level, when the first-level threshold is reached, the feed valve is slightly adjusted to reduce the feed flow rate to prevent problems such as overflow caused by the continuous rapid rise of the liquid level, thereby maintaining the stability of the system liquid level and ensuring the stable operation of the pipeline conveying system; 3. Different levels of control thresholds are set according to different liquid level change trends (rising, falling, stable) and their stability (large or small fluctuations). Corresponding precise control actions are taken when different thresholds are triggered, such as slightly adjusting the valve, increasing the adjustment amplitude, closing the valve or starting the feeding system, etc. This refined hierarchical control can better fit the actual liquid level change situation, realize the precise regulation of the pipeline conveying process, effectively avoid the excessive deviation of the liquid level from the target value, and set more reasonable control thresholds and control strategies for the liquid level change trend with large fluctuations. For example, when the rising trend of the liquid level fluctuates greatly, the threshold interval is adjusted more reasonably, so that the system can better cope with the large fluctuations of the liquid level, avoid untimely control or over-control caused by fluctuations, enhance the adaptability of the system to complex liquid level change situations, and improve the overall stability of the system; 4. The hierarchical control mechanism enables the system to take response measures in an orderly manner according to preset rules when facing abnormal liquid levels, progressing step by step from minor adjustments to emergency handling. This orderly fault response method helps to handle different degrees of abnormal liquid levels in a timely and reasonable manner, reducing the likelihood and harm of accidents. 5. Precise liquid level control reduces the damage to pipeline equipment caused by abnormal liquid levels, such as avoiding pressure shocks on pipelines caused by too high liquid levels and dry running caused by too low liquid levels. This reduces the failure rate of equipment, the number of maintenance and repair times, and further reduces the maintenance cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] Embodiment 1 Figure 1 A pipeline automatic conveying control system driven by signal feedback of the liquid level gauge of the present invention is given, including a data acquisition module, a liquid level state analysis module, a hierarchical control module, and a control execution feedback module. The data acquisition module is used to collect the liquid level height data in the pipeline system and correct the measurement error. The liquid level state analysis module is used to compare the real-time liquid level data with the preset liquid level target value, calculate the liquid level deviation value, clarify the deviation degree between the current liquid level and the target liquid level, and predict the change trend of the liquid level based on the liquid level data at multiple consecutive time points. The hierarchical control module is used to set multiple different levels of control thresholds according to the change trend of the liquid level for hierarchical control. The control execution feedback module sends the formulated control instructions to the actuator, driving the actuator to adjust the operating state according to the instructions to achieve the control of the pipeline conveying process.

[0019] The operation of the data acquisition module specifically includes the following contents: Deploy liquid level gauges in the storage tanks and containers of the pipeline system, collect the liquid level height data in real time, output the output signal of the liquid level gauge, correct the measurement error according to the calibration parameters of the liquid level gauge, and select the known liquid level height data. , record the output signal of the corresponding liquid level gauge , calculate the actual height value of the corrected liquid level. The calculation formula is: ; Where is the actual height value of the corrected liquid level, is the measured signal value.

[0020] It should be noted that when the liquid level gauge has a monitoring error, it can automatically correct the monitoring error of the liquid level gauge.

[0021] The specific operation of the data acquisition module also includes the following: Deploy a liquid level height acquisition camera inside the storage tank and container of the pipeline system, collect the liquid level height data in real time, output the output signal of the acquisition camera, correct the measurement error according to the calibration parameters of the acquisition camera, set multiple feature points with known positions in the storage tank and container, accurately measure the actual physical height of multiple feature points, and mark them as , determine the pixel height of these feature points in the image, and mark it as , the pixel height of the liquid surface collected by the camera in the image After that, correct it to obtain the corrected actual liquid level height , and the calculation formula is: .

[0022] It should be noted that when the acquisition camera has a monitoring error, it can automatically correct the monitoring error of the acquisition camera.

[0023] During the data acquisition period, for the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge, calculate the mean and standard deviation of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge, and mark them as and ; Calculate the fluctuation degree coefficient of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge. The calculation formula is: ; In the formula, represents the fluctuation degree coefficient of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge; During the data acquisition period, for the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera, calculate the mean and standard deviation of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera, and mark them as and ; Calculate the fluctuation degree coefficient of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera. The calculation formula is: ; In the formula, It represents the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera.

[0024] Preset the threshold of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by each liquid level gauge during the data acquisition period and the threshold of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by each acquisition camera during the data acquisition period; Compare the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge with the threshold of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge, and compare the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera with the threshold of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera; If both are within the threshold range of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the corresponding liquid level height data, take the average value of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge and the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera. The calculation formula is: ; where is the weight of the liquid level gauge, is the weight of the acquisition camera, and ; If the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge is not within the threshold range of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the liquid level gauge, perform error correction on the liquid level gauge; If the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera is not within the threshold range of the coefficient of fluctuation degree of the liquid level height data collected by the acquisition camera, perform error correction on the acquisition camera.

[0025] It should be noted that by calculating the coefficient of fluctuation degree and comparing it with the preset threshold, when the coefficient of fluctuation degree is not within the threshold range, error correction is performed on the liquid level gauge and the acquisition camera. This helps to timely detect possible deviations in equipment measurement, avoid inaccurate liquid level data caused by long-term cumulative errors, so as to ensure that the collected liquid level height data is closer to the true value, providing a reliable basis for subsequent analysis and control based on liquid level data.

[0026] Comprehensively considering the data collected by the liquid level gauge and the acquisition camera, when the coefficients of fluctuation degree of both are within the threshold range, take the weighted average value. The liquid level gauge and the acquisition camera each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The liquid level gauge may have an advantage in continuous measurement, and the camera may provide additional information in visualization and some complex scenarios. Doing so can integrate the advantages of both to obtain more accurate and comprehensive data reflecting the liquid level situation, reducing the limitations that may exist in a single device.

[0027] Accurate liquid level data and a reasonable judgment of data fluctuations ensure the effective implementation of the hierarchical control strategy formulated based on the liquid level change trend. If the liquid level data is inaccurate or abnormal fluctuations are not processed, it may lead to misjudgment of the control threshold, causing the hierarchical control module to issue incorrect instructions and affecting the control effect of the pipeline transportation process. The above processing method guarantees the data quality, and thus guarantees the reliability and effectiveness of the entire control system.

[0028] Determine the liquid level target value , and obtain the actual liquid level height value corrected by the liquid level gauge at a certain moment and the actual liquid level height corrected by the acquisition camera , calculate the liquid level deviation value, and the calculation formula is: ; Collect the liquid level deviation values at multiple consecutive time points , calculate the liquid level change trend prediction coefficient, and the calculation formula is: ; In the formula represents the liquid level change trend prediction coefficient.

[0029] If , it indicates that the overall liquid level has an upward trend. If is small, it means that the upward trend of the liquid level is relatively stable. If is large, it means that there are large fluctuations during the upward process of the liquid level; If , it indicates that the overall liquid level has a downward trend. If is small, it means that the downward trend of the liquid level is relatively stable. If is large, it means that there are large fluctuations during the downward process of the liquid level; If , it indicates that the liquid level tends to be stable.

[0030] If the liquid level shows an upward trend and is relatively stable, set three levels of control thresholds, which are , and , where , , ; If the upward trend of the liquid level has large fluctuations, the three levels of control thresholds are , , ; If the liquid level shows a downward trend and is relatively stable, the three levels of control thresholds are , , ;​ If the liquid level shows a downward trend and fluctuates greatly, the control thresholds for the three levels are respectively , , ; If the liquid level tends to be stable, the control thresholds for the three levels are respectively , , .

[0031] When the first-level threshold is triggered, if the liquid level rises to the first-level threshold, fine-tune the feed valve to reduce the feed flow rate. If the liquid level drops to the first-level threshold, fine-tune the discharge valve to reduce the discharge flow rate; When the second-level threshold is triggered, if the liquid level rises to the second-level threshold, increase the adjustment range of the feed valve. If the liquid level drops to the second-level threshold, increase the adjustment range of the discharge valve; When the third-level threshold is triggered, if the liquid level rises to the third-level threshold, close the main feed pipeline valve. If the liquid level drops to the third-level threshold, quickly stop the discharge and start the emergency feeding system.

[0032] It should be noted that by calculating the liquid level deviation value, the deviation degree between the current liquid level and the target liquid level can be determined. Then, combined with the liquid level change trend prediction coefficient, the change trend and stability of the liquid level can be judged. This enables the system to accurately understand the real-time state and development trend of the liquid level, providing an accurate basis for subsequent control, avoiding blind operations, setting different levels of control thresholds according to different liquid level change trends (rising, falling, stable) and their stabilities (large or small fluctuations), and taking corresponding precise control actions when different thresholds are triggered, such as fine-tuning the valve, increasing the adjustment range, closing the valve or starting the feeding system, etc. This refined hierarchical control can better fit the actual liquid level change situation, achieve precise control of the pipeline transportation process, and effectively avoid the excessive deviation of the liquid level from the target value.

[0033] Based on the liquid level change trend prediction coefficient, the change direction of the liquid level can be predicted in advance. When the liquid level has not reached a dangerous state, measures can be taken in advance through hierarchical control for intervention. For example, in the rising trend of the liquid level, when it reaches the first-level threshold, fine-tune the feed valve to reduce the feed flow rate to prevent problems such as overflow caused by the continuous rapid rise of the liquid level, thereby maintaining the stability of the system liquid level and ensuring the stable operation of the pipeline transportation system. For the liquid level change trend with large fluctuations, more reasonable control thresholds and control strategies are set. For example, when the rising trend of the liquid level fluctuates greatly, the threshold interval is adjusted more reasonably, enabling the system to better cope with large fluctuations in the liquid level, avoiding untimely or excessive control caused by fluctuations, enhancing the system's adaptability to complex liquid level change situations, and improving the overall stability of the system.

[0034] When the liquid level rises or falls to reach the third-level threshold, emergency measures are taken, such as closing the valves of the main feed pipeline, stopping the discharging and starting the emergency feeding system, etc. These measures can effectively avoid extreme dangerous situations such as excessive overflow or too low cut-off of the liquid level, ensure the safety of the pipeline conveying system, reduce the risk of safety accidents caused by abnormal liquid level, protect the safety of equipment and personnel. The hierarchical control mechanism enables the system to take corresponding measures orderly according to the preset rules when facing abnormal liquid level, from slight adjustment to emergency treatment, gradually progressing. This orderly way of dealing with faults helps to handle in a timely and reasonable manner under different degrees of abnormal liquid level situations, reducing the possibility and harm degree of accidents.
