Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of special equipment detection, and in particular to a safety interlock test system and a detection method for a quick-opening pressure vessel. Background technology:
[0002] During the regular inspection of quick-opening door pressure vessels, it is necessary to test the locking reliability of their quick-opening door safety interlock devices (such as safety pins). Traditional quick-opening door testing methods have the following defects:
[0003] 1. High risk: Traditional testing methods require simulating an operator attempting to open a quick-opening door when the container is under pressure. If the safety interlock fails, the quick-opening door will explode, causing casualties. Therefore, the test risk is extremely high.
[0004] 2. Inefficiency: Each test requires a complete pressure increase and pressure reduction cycle, which takes up to several hours;
[0005] 3. Subjectivity: Relying on manual visual judgment of the safety pin's operating status can easily lead to misjudgment and missed inspections.
[0006] In summary, the existing quick-opening pressure vessel safety interlock test system and detection method have many shortcomings. Therefore, the development of a quick-opening pressure vessel safety interlock test system and detection method has important practical significance and application value. Summary of the invention:
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a safety interlock test system for a quick-opening pressure vessel, comprising: an external pressure supply module, an intelligent control module, and a safety interlock status determination module;
[0008] The external pressure supply module includes a high-pressure gas source; the output end of the high-pressure gas source is connected to a high-pressure hose, on which a servo proportional valve, an upstream pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a downstream pressure sensor, and a quick connector are sequentially provided; the upstream pressure sensor is used to detect the output pressure of the high-pressure gas source, and the downstream pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure at the safety pin inlet of the device being tested; the temperature sensor is used to correct the gas pressure value in real time; the quick connector is used to connect to the inlet of the safety pin control pipeline, and the servo proportional valve is used to control the output pressure of the high-pressure gas source;
[0009] The intelligent control module includes a data acquisition card, a controller, and a human-computer interaction interface. The data acquisition card is respectively connected to the servo proportional valve, upstream pressure sensor, temperature sensor, downstream pressure sensor, and controller, and is used to collect data from the servo proportional valve, upstream pressure sensor, temperature sensor, and downstream pressure sensor. The controller is used to calculate the second-order derivative of pressure. The human-computer interaction interface, the data acquisition card, and the servo proportional valve are connected to the controller, and the human-computer interaction interface is used to display pressure curves and diagnostic results. The upstream pressure sensor is used to detect the output pressure of the high-pressure gas source in order to control the servo valve opening. The downstream pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure at the safety pin inlet.
[0010] The safety interlock state determination module is connected to the controller for communication. The safety interlock state determination module is used to determine the safety pin action state through the second-order derivative mutation of the pressure curve and generate a corresponding detection report through the controller.
[0011] Furthermore, the upstream pressure sensor and the downstream pressure sensor are both high-frequency pressure sensors (1kHz). Based on the high-frequency pressure sensor (1kHz) and real-time second-order derivative calculation, the status judgment can be completed within 50ms after the safety pin is actuated.
[0012] Furthermore, the temperature sensor is a PT100 platinum resistor, which is used to correct the gas pressure value in real time.
[0013] Furthermore, the controller is an embedded controller.
[0014] Furthermore, the high-pressure gas source can be provided by a gas storage tank.
[0015] A method for testing a safety interlock test system for a quick-opening pressure vessel comprises the following steps:
[0016] (1) Connect the high-pressure gas source to the inlet of the safety pin control pipeline through a quick-change connector;
[0017] (2) Inject gas into the pipeline at a preset rate, and simultaneously collect upstream and downstream pressures to obtain the upstream pressure P1 and the downstream pressure P2;
[0018] (3) Real-time calculation of the second-order derivative of pressure of P2 data based on The negative mutation and pressure difference threshold determine the locking state of the safety pin;
[0019] (4) Generate a test report based on the test results.
[0020] Furthermore, P1 is the output pressure of the high-pressure gas source, and P2 is the pressure at the safety pin inlet.
[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step (3), when 0≤P2≤P0, P0 is the nominal operating pressure, if And |P1-P2|≤5%P0, it is determined that the safety pin is locked normally;
[0022] If |P1-P2|>5%P0 lasts for more than 6 seconds, it indicates that the interlock has leaked internally, and the failure is judged and emergency pressure relief is triggered. Emergency pressure relief is triggered by shutting off the gas source through the servo proportional valve, stopping the pressurization of the safety pin control pipeline, and ending the test;
[0023] If P2>P0, it is determined that the safety pin has not popped out and the test fails.
[0024] Furthermore, P0 can be set manually.
[0025] Furthermore, if the result of the test in step (4) is that the safety pin is locked normally, a test report is generated with the conclusion that "the safety interlock meets the requirements"; if the result is failure and triggers emergency pressure relief, a "safety interlock device internal leakage" is generated; if it is determined that the safety pin does not pop out, a "safety pin does not pop out" is generated.
[0026] Furthermore, the rate in step (2) is 0.0001-0.001 MPa / s.
[0027] Furthermore, the gas pressure is affected by temperature (ideal gas law PV = nRT), the gas pressure value, the correction formula is:
[0028]
[0029] (T 参考 is the standard operating temperature, usually 20℃)
[0030] The upstream pressure P1 and the downstream pressure P2 are corrected by the above formula to achieve high-precision and high-reliability detection.
[0031] This invention calculates the second-order derivative from real-time downstream pressure data, directly capturing the transient characteristics of the safety pin's closure. Combined with a temperature compensation algorithm, this method achieves highly accurate and reliable non-invasive detection. This design balances detection sensitivity with anti-interference capabilities, keeping the false positive rate to less than 0.5%.
[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0033] The present invention simulates the pressurized working condition of the container through an external pressure supply module, uses a high-frequency pressure sensor to collect dynamic pressure signals, and combines second-order derivative analysis to achieve millisecond-level non-invasive judgment of the safety pin locking state.
[0034] The present invention completely avoids the explosion risk of traditional detection, protects the lives of special equipment inspectors, and improves detection efficiency by more than 10 times. It is particularly suitable for regular inspection of fast-opening containers in the medical, food, and chemical fields.
[0035] The present invention does not rely on manual visual judgment of the safety pin action state, is not prone to misjudgment or missed detection, and reduces human misjudgment. Description of the drawings:
