Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of explosion-proof elevator control auxiliary systems, and relates to a temperature reduction device and a temperature prediction control method for an explosion-proof elevator control cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Explosion-proof elevators are widely used in places such as petrochemical, mines, and military industries where explosive gases, vapors, or dust and other hazardous substances may exist. In such environments, the design of the internal devices of explosion-proof elevators needs to consider the sealing to isolate the intrusion of external explosive gases or dust. The design of the sealing may exacerbate the retention of internal heat. To avoid internal high temperature triggering an explosion accident, it is necessary to cooperate with efficient heat dissipation technology to ensure heat dissipation and balance explosion-proof safety and temperature control efficiency.

[0003] As the core control unit of the explosion-proof elevator system, the explosion-proof elevator control cabinet integrates high-power electronic components such as inverters, contactors, and control boards. During operation, a large amount of heat is generated due to the conversion of electrical energy and component losses. If the internal temperature of the control cabinet continues to be too high, it will lead to the attenuation of the performance of electronic components, the shortening of their service life, and even cause system failures or local overheating and ignition, seriously threatening the safe operation of the explosion-proof elevator. Therefore, temperature management is a key link to ensure the stability and reliability of the explosion-proof elevator system.

[0004] In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, neural networks have shown significant advantages in the field of time series prediction. By constructing a deep learning model, it is possible to learn the law of temperature change from historical data and combine multi-dimensional environmental and operating parameters to accurately predict the future temperature trend of the control cabinet. Compared with traditional real-time monitoring technologies, the temperature prediction method based on neural networks can achieve preventive regulation, optimize resource allocation, and improve the fault warning ability.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a temperature reduction device and a temperature prediction control method for an explosion-proof elevator control cabinet. Compared with traditional real-time monitoring technologies, the temperature prediction method based on neural networks can achieve preventive regulation, optimize resource allocation, and improve the fault warning ability. The temperature reduction device combines the prediction results and realizes dynamic heat dissipation control matching the predicted temperature change trend through the coordinated operation of multiple heat dissipation modules.
