Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pump house flow early warning, specifically a peak flow alarm and shutdown protection system for the secondary water supply pump house. Background Technique
[0002] The water supply system of high-rise residential buildings is divided into high-zone water supply and low-zone water supply according to vertical zoning. The low-zone water supply is generally supplied by the municipal water supply network, and the high-zone is supplied by secondary pressurization equipment, that is, the daily water use of residents in high-rise residential buildings is ensured through the secondary water supply pump house.
[0003] The pressurization equipment is generally variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply. When the external courtyard water supply network is damaged naturally due to aging or the foundation sinks and other factors, a pipe burst may occur.
[0004] In the prior art, when a pipe burst occurs, the water pressure drops and the water output increases. The pressurization system cannot determine whether it is a pipe burst or a peak water use period. It often first increases the pump frequency, but the water pressure still continues to drop and the water consumption continues to increase. At this time, the pressurization system increases the pump water supply until it finally shuts down, that is, after all the main pumps in the entire pressurized area are fully loaded and the set pressure cannot be reached, the shutdown protection will be carried out.
[0005] When a pipe burst occurs, the water pressure drops and the water output increases, resulting in an increase in the leakage volume. If it is not discovered in time, the basement may be flooded, electrical equipment in the community may be flooded, especially the elevator may be flooded, causing economic losses. Summary of the 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.
[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application provides a peak flow alarm and shutdown protection system for the secondary water supply pump house, including a pump house information acquisition unit, a flow comparison and analysis unit, a shutdown warning analysis unit, a pipe burst positioning analysis unit, and a management information output unit, and it can be known in combination with Figure 1 that the above functional units are unidirectionally electrically connected.
[0038] The pump house information acquisition unit is used to acquire pump house information, and the pump house information includes pressurized area information, flow sensor data, and flow thresholds, and at the same time transmits the acquired pump house information to the flow comparison and analysis unit.
[0039] Flow comparison analysis unit, which is used to perform early warning processing on the overall status of the pump house according to the obtained pump house information, and the specific early warning processing method is as follows:
[0040] Obtain the unit maximum water output flow rate corresponding to the pump house within the time t, and the value of the time t is set by the operator. The value range here can be set from 7 to 10 days. Calculate the average value of the unit maximum flow rate corresponding to the time t and record it as q. At the same time, obtain the real-time water output flow rate Q1 of the pump house. Then obtain the water output ratio coefficient k1, and k1 is generally set from 1.2 to 1.5. The specific value is set by the operator. Calculate the product of the average value of the unit maximum flow rate q and the water output ratio coefficient k1 to obtain the first flow threshold Y1, and compare the real-time water output flow rate Q1 with the first flow threshold Y1;
[0041] If the real-time water output flow rate Q1 is greater than the first flow threshold Y1, generate a delay control signal. If the real-time water output flow rate Q1 is less than the first flow threshold Y1, generate a normal monitoring signal, and at the same time analyze the generated delay control signal;
[0042] Perform delay control according to the generated delay control signal, and set the delay time t1. And t1 is generally set from 30s to 120s. The specific value is set by the operator. At the same time, obtain the real-time water output flow rate recorded as Q1′ corresponding to the delay time t1, and compare it with the first flow threshold Y1. If the real-time water output flow rate Q1′ is greater than the first flow threshold Y1, generate a leakage warning signal. If the real-time water output flow rate Q1′ is less than the first flow threshold Y1, generate a normal monitoring signal, and at the same time transmit the leakage warning signal to the shutdown warning analysis unit and transmit the normal monitoring signal to the management information output unit.
[0043] Shutdown warning analysis unit, which is used to analyze the obtained leakage warning signal. Based on the leakage warning signal, obtain the real-time water output flow rate recorded as Q2, and obtain the water output ratio coefficient k2 at this time, and calculate the product of it and the average value of the unit maximum flow rate q to obtain the second flow threshold Y2. At the same time, compare the real-time water output flow rate Q2 with the second flow threshold Y2;
[0044] If the real-time water output flow rate Q2 is greater than the second flow threshold Y2, generate a secondary delay control signal and analyze it. On the contrary, if the real-time water output flow rate Q2 is less than the second flow threshold Y2, generate a normal monitoring signal and transmit it to the management information output unit. And the normal monitoring signal here may indicate that it is the peak water consumption period currently, resulting in an increase in the water output flow rate.
[0045] Analyze the generated secondary delay control signal, set the delay time t2, and the value of t2 is generally 60s to 120s, and the specific value is set by the operator. At the same time, after obtaining the delay time t2, record the corresponding real-time water output flow as Q2′, and compare it with the second flow threshold Y2. If the real-time water output flow Q2′ is greater than the second flow threshold Y2, generate a burst pipe warning signal; otherwise, if the real-time water output flow Q2′ is less than the second flow threshold Y2, generate a normal monitoring signal.
[0046] For the generated burst pipe warning signal, generate a corresponding shutdown instruction and transmit it to the management information output unit. Through the management information output unit, transmit the shutdown instruction to the pressurization area control cabinet for shutdown control.

[0050] The burst pipe location analysis unit is used to obtain the burst pipe warning signal, and at the same time obtain the corresponding pressurization area, then obtain the abnormal water supply pipe corresponding to the pressurization area, and here the abnormal water supply pipe refers to the water supply pipe that generates the burst pipe warning signal, and obtain all the pressure sensors on the abnormal water pipe, then obtain the time when the pressure sensor obtains the pressure wave, and at the same time obtain the propagation speed v of the pressure wave in the pipeline. The specific acquisition method is as follows:
[0051] Obtain all the pressure sensors and label them as a, and a = 1, 2,..., b, where b represents the label of the pressure sensor. At the same time, obtain the distance D between adjacent pressure sensors, obtain the time when the pressure wave reaches the sensor corresponding to a, and calculate the time difference Δt between adjacent pressure sensors. Then, according to the formula Calculate the propagation speed v between adjacent pressure sensors (a,a+1) , and so on to calculate all the adjacent propagation speeds, and calculate the average value of all the adjacent propagation speeds, and take the obtained average value as the standard propagation speed v;
[0052] At the same time, according to the formula Calculate the burst pipe distance x, where r1 is the acquisition time of sensor A and r2 is the acquisition time of sensor B, and generate burst pipe position information according to the burst pipe distance x, and then transmit it to the management information output unit.
[0053] The management information output unit is used to display the obtained burst pipe position information to the corresponding operator.
