[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more understandable, the following further describes the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other technical solutions obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0037] Figure 1 The flowchart of the material addition control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the control method can be applied to a material addition system, which mainly includes N tanks, M parallel first pipelines, and N second pipelines respectively communicating with the N tanks. The N second pipelines are respectively connected to the M parallel first pipelines through corresponding first valve units to form a valve array of (N*M) first valve units. N and M are any natural numbers. The control method of this embodiment realizes automatically adding the material in the target tank to the target pot by controlling the opening and closing of the target first valve unit provided at the connection of the target first pipeline and the target second pipeline in the valve array and the operation of the target first pump on the target first pipeline. To better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following uses Figure 2 the shown material addition system as an example application scenario to describe the material addition control method of the embodiments in the present disclosure. It can be understood that Figure 2 is only exemplary.

[0038] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the material addition control method includes: in response to the control instruction of feeding from the target tank 1 to the target pot 7, performing the feeding step S110 and the top material step S120.

[0039] In the feeding step S110, the target first valve unit 4 in the designated feeding branch A is controlled to open and the target first pump 5 is operated to pump the material from the target tank 1 into the target first pipeline 2 in the designated feeding branch A. When it is determined that the amount of the material pumped into the target first pipeline 2 reaches the first preset amount, the target first valve unit 4 is controlled to close and the target first pump 5 is stopped from operating. Wherein, the target first pipeline 2 is connected to the target second pipeline 3 through the target first valve unit 4, the upstream port of the target second pipeline 3 is communicated with the discharge port of the target tank 1, and the target first valve unit 4 is configured to connect the connected target first pipeline 2 to the target second pipeline 3 when it is open and cut off the connected target first pipeline 2 from the target second pipeline 3 when it is closed.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more first pipelines can be arranged in the material adding system. The latter can meet the production requirements of multiple production batches. The number of the second pipelines is the same as the number of the tanks, and usually one first pump is arranged for each first pipeline. Figure 2 Only for example and not limited to the feeding operation from the target tank 1 to the target pot 7. In fact, the feeding step from any one of the five tanks to any one of the four pots can be realized. For example, corresponding control instructions can be generated in advance for different combinations of tanks and pots, and different combinations of tanks and pots usually correspond to different designated feeding branches.

[0041] In the top - feeding step S120, the first mechanism 6 is controlled to open and the first mechanism 6 is controlled to output a second preset amount of top - feeding material to push the first preset amount of material in the target first pipeline 2 into the target pot 7. In this embodiment, the second preset amount is determined according to the capacity of the target pipeline segment between the target first valve unit 4 and the downstream port of the designated feeding branch A and the first preset amount.

[0042] In practical applications, the corresponding first preset amount can be set in advance for different tanks (or different combinations of tanks and pots) according to process requirements. The second preset amount can be determined in advance according to the capacity of the target pipeline segment between the target first valve unit 4 and the downstream port of the designated feeding branch A in the applied material adding system and the first preset amount.

[0043] As mentioned above, the target first pipeline 2 in the material adding system can be one or more. For the case of multiple target first pipelines 2, a third cut - off valve 11 also needs to be provided at the upstream port of each target first pipeline 2 to avoid cross - over between different first pipelines. Based on this, in the top - feeding step S120, optionally, it also includes the operation of "controlling the third cut - off valve 11 provided at the upstream port of the target first pipeline 2 in the designated feeding branch A (see Figure 2 ) to open".

[0044] To improve the feeding accuracy, in the feeding step S110, the following calibration steps may also be optionally included: determining a first flow value of the material pumped from the target tank 1 to the target first pipeline 2 during the time period from the moment when the target first valve unit 4 is opened to the current moment according to the detection data of the first sensor (such as but not limited to a liquid level sensor), and determining a second flow value flowing through during the time period from the moment when the target first valve unit 4 is opened to the current moment according to the detection data of the flow sensor 13 (which is arranged at a position on the target first pipeline 2 and downstream of the target first valve unit 4); if the first flow value corresponding to the current moment reaches the first preset amount and the difference between the first flow value and the second flow value is within the preset range, it is determined that the amount of the material pumped to the target first pipeline 2 reaches the first preset amount; if the first flow value corresponding to the current moment reaches the first preset amount but the difference between the first flow value and the second flow value is not within the preset range, the corresponding alarm information is output.

[0045] Furthermore, in the feeding step S110, the following may also be optionally included: respectively detecting a first pressure difference between the bottom pressure and the liquid surface pressure of the target tank 1 at the moment when the target first valve unit 4 is opened and a second pressure difference between the bottom pressure and the liquid surface pressure of the tank at the current moment through the liquid level sensor 12 (which is arranged in the target tank 1); determining the first flow value according to the first pressure difference, the second pressure difference and the calibration data of the liquid level of the target tank 1 (the calibration data is a pair of calibration data of the pressure difference between the bottom pressure and the liquid surface pressure and the liquid volume in the target tank 1). This optional step of determining the first flow value in this way is applicable not only to tanks with regular internal shapes but also to tanks with irregular internal shapes. Compared with the traditional method of forming linear calibration data through several points, the reliability of the calibration data can be greatly improved. Furthermore, when detecting the liquid level of the tank using the calibration data, the measurement accuracy of the liquid level of the tank can be greatly improved. It is especially suitable for industries such as food and pharmaceuticals that have relatively high requirements for the measurement accuracy of the liquid level of the tank.

[0046] To prevent errors in material addition, during material addition control, an auxiliary material brand verification step may be exemplarily added before the feeding step S110: determining whether the material information in the target tank 1 stored in the system matches the material information required for the target pot 7 stored in the system; if they match, enter the feeding step S110; otherwise, output the corresponding alarm information. During the automatic control process of feeding, adding the brand verification step can avoid the possibility of incorrect addition of auxiliary materials. After obtaining the prompt of the alarm information, the operator can, for example, reselect; at the same time, the interlock protection of the valve array is well done to further reduce the risk.

[0047] In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the "material ejector" in the material ejecting step S120 may be a gas with strong stability. In this case, there is no need to discharge the material ejector separately. The "material ejector" in the material ejecting step S120 may also be a liquid with strong stability, such as water. In this case, it is necessary to set up to discharge the material ejector into the waste liquid collection tank or recycle it to the material ejector source. Depending on the different layouts of the pipeline lengths, there may be a situation where "the capacity of the target pipeline segment is greater than the first preset amount", or there may be a situation where "the capacity of the target pipeline segment is less than or equal to the first preset amount".

[0048] For the aforementioned situation where "the capacity of the target pipeline segment is greater than the first preset amount", in the feeding step S110, optionally, it further includes: controlling the first cut-off valve 8 to open; wherein, the first cut-off valve 8 is arranged on the third pipeline 10, and the target first pipeline 2 is communicated with the third pipeline 10 and the communication point is located at the downstream port of the target first pipeline 2. And, in the material ejecting step S120, optionally, it further includes: detecting the output of the first mechanism 6; when detecting that the output of the first mechanism 6 reaches the third preset amount, controlling the first cut-off valve 8 to close and the second cut-off valve 9 to open until when detecting that the output of the first mechanism 6 reaches the second preset amount, controlling the second cut-off valve 9 to close; wherein, the third preset amount is equal to the difference between the capacity of the target pipeline segment and the first preset amount, the second preset amount is equal to the sum of the capacity of the target pipeline segment and the first preset amount, the second cut-off valve 9 is arranged at the downstream port of the target first pipeline 2, and the communication point between the target first pipeline 2 and the third pipeline 10 is located upstream of the second cut-off valve 9.

[0049] For the aforementioned situation where "the capacity of the target pipeline segment is not greater than the first preset amount", in the feeding step S110, optionally, it further includes: controlling the first cut-off valve 8 to open until when determining that the amount of the material pumped into the target first pipeline 2 reaches the capacity of the target pipeline segment, controlling the first cut-off valve 8 to close and the second cut-off valve 9 to open; wherein, the second cut-off valve 9 is arranged at the downstream port of the target first pipeline 2, the first cut-off valve 8 is arranged on the third pipeline 10, and the target first pipeline 2 is communicated with the third pipeline 10 and the communication point is located upstream of the second cut-off valve 9. And, in the material ejecting step S120, optionally, it further includes: detecting the output of the first mechanism 6; when detecting that the output of the first mechanism 6 reaches the second preset amount, controlling the second cut-off valve 9 to close; wherein, the second preset amount is equal to the capacity of the target pipeline segment.

[0050] In addition, there may be a specific situation where "the capacity of the target pipeline segment corresponding to some feed branches is greater than the first preset amount, and the second preset amount corresponding to some other feed branches is not greater than the first preset amount". For this situation, in the top material step S120, optionally, the following steps are further included: determining whether the capacity of the target pipeline segment is greater than the first preset amount, and selectively performing the optional operations in the first two paragraphs according to the determination result.

[0051] As described above, in addition to automatically adding the materials in the specified tank to the specified pot body, the control method of this embodiment can also simultaneously realize the automatic cleaning of each auxiliary material addition tank and each addition pipeline. As Figure 2 shown, the material addition system may further include a cleaning pipeline. Specifically, the control method of this embodiment may optionally further include the following pipe body cleaning steps: in response to the cleaning control instruction for the target first pipeline 2, controlling the cut-off valves 14 and 15 in the first pipe body cleaning branch B to open, controlling the cut-off valve 16 in the second pipe body cleaning branch C to open, controlling the third cut-off valve 11 provided on the target first pipeline 2 to open, and controlling all the first valve units 4, 17, 18, 19, and 20 provided on the target first pipeline 2 to close, and controlling the target first pump 5 to operate to extract the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid source and enable the cleaning liquid to flow through the first pipe body cleaning branch B, the target first pipeline 2, and the second pipe body cleaning branch C in sequence and then flow into the waste liquid collection pool. Wherein, the fourth pipeline in the second pipe body cleaning branch C is connected to the target first pipeline 2, and the connection point is located upstream of the second cut-off valve 9 and close to the second cut-off valve 9.

[0052] In addition, the control method of this embodiment may optionally further include the following tank body cleaning steps: in response to the cleaning control instruction for the target tank body 1, controlling the cut-off valves 14 and 21 of the pipelines in the first tank body cleaning branch D connected to the target tank body 1 to open, controlling all the first valve units 4 and 22 and the second valve unit 23 in the target second pipe body 2 in the second tank body cleaning branch E connected to the target tank body 1 to close, and controlling the second pump 24 in the fifth pipeline in the third tank body cleaning branch F to operate to extract the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid source and enable the cleaning liquid to flow through the pipelines in the first tank body cleaning branch D, the target tank body 1, the target second pipe body 2, and the fifth pipeline in sequence and then flow into the waste liquid collection pool. Wherein, the target second pipe body 2 is connected to the fifth pipeline through the second valve unit 23, and the second valve unit 23 is configured to connect the target second pipe body 2 to the fifth pipeline when opened and cut off the connection between the target second pipe body 2 and the fifth pipeline when closed.

[0053] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure are particularly applicable to production process such as beer, beverage, etc. In this scenario, the "cleaning liquid source" preferably adopts brewing liquid. Taking the process of beer production as an example, Figure 2 The pot body in

[0054] Furthermore, in the tank cleaning step described in the previous paragraph, it may also exemplarily include: intermittently controlling the fourth stop valve 25 in the first tank cleaning branch D to open, controlling the fifth stop valve 26 in the fifth pipeline to open, and controlling the sixth stop valve 27 in the target second pipeline 3 to open respectively, until receiving a control instruction indicating the end of cleaning the target tank 1 and then stopping. Wherein, the fourth stop valve 25 is arranged at the downstream port of the common pipeline section of each first tank cleaning branch D corresponding to each tank, the second pump 24 and the fifth stop valve 26 are respectively located on both sides of the second valve unit 23, and the sixth stop valve 27 is arranged at the downstream port of the target second pipeline 3.

[0055] It can be understood that the first valve unit and the second valve unit involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can both adopt double-seat valves or valve combinations such as Figure 5 shown, which have the same function as double-seat valves; the opening and closing of the first valve unit (or the second valve unit) are controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the stop valve 28. The second pump 24 adopts a CIP return pump.

[0056] In addition, the method of each embodiment of the present disclosure may also optionally include: generating a control instruction for feeding from the target tank 1 to the target pot 7, a cleaning control instruction for the target first pipeline 2, a cleaning control instruction for the target tank 1, and a control instruction indicating the end of cleaning the target tank 1. More specifically, for example, according to process requirements, a control instruction sequence for feeding from the tank to the pot is generated for all tanks in the material addition system, and the feeding step S110 and the topping step S120 are triggered to execute in sequence according to the control instruction sequence. For example, at the end of each production batch, a cleaning control instruction sequence is generated for all first pipelines in the material addition system, and the pipe body cleaning step of each first pipeline is triggered to execute in sequence according to the cleaning control instruction sequence. For example, an empty tank liquid level switch is also equipped for each tank in the material addition system, and when the liquid level in the tank detected by the empty tank liquid level switch is less than the set allowable minimum liquid level, a cleaning control instruction for the tank is generated to trigger the execution of the pipe body cleaning step of the tank.

[0057] In addition, to meet different process requirements, an empty tank level switch, temperature sensor, heating device, cooling device, stirring device, etc. are also equipped for each tank in the material addition system to meet different process requirements. In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the method may further optionally include: recording all control parameters, sensor data, and process recipe data involved in the feeding step, pushing step, and cleaning step, and archiving and storing the relevant data for future query.

[0059] In this embodiment, the feeding module 610 is configured to respond to a control instruction for feeding from the target tank 1 to the target pan 7, control the opening of the target first valve unit 4 in the specified feeding branch A and the operation of the target first pump 6 to pump out the material from the target tank 1 into the target first pipeline 2 in the specified feeding branch A, and control the closing of the target first valve unit 4 and the stop of the operation of the target first pump 6 when it is determined that the amount of the material pumped into the target first pipeline 2 reaches a first preset amount. Wherein, the target first pipeline 2 is connected to the target second pipeline 3 through the target first valve unit 4, the upstream port of the target second pipeline 3 is communicated with the discharge port of the target tank 1, and the target first valve unit 4 is configured to make the connected target first pipeline 2 communicate with the target second pipeline 3 when opened and cut off the connection between the connected target first pipeline 2 and the target second pipeline 3 when closed. The pushing module 620 is configured to control the opening of the first mechanism 6 and control the first mechanism 6 to output a second preset amount of pushing material to push the first preset amount of material in the target first pipeline 2 into the target pan 7, wherein the second preset amount is determined according to the capacity of the target pipeline segment between the target first valve unit 4 and the downstream port of the specified feeding branch A and the first preset amount.
