[0043] Centrifugal compressors are a type of turbine compressor. Air compressors are devices used to compress gases, often simply called air compressors.

[0044] In related technologies, using a fixed value for the switching rate of the pressure relief valve in various application scenarios of air compressors can easily lead to unstable operation of the air compressor, resulting in energy waste and noise pollution. For example, if the switching rate is set too high, it may cause excessive pressure fluctuations in the system under adjustable control, resulting in energy waste and noise pollution; if the switching rate is set too low, the pressure relief valve may close too slowly during startup, also leading to energy waste.

[0045] To address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a method for controlling the pressure relief valve of an air compressor. The method acquires the operating frequency of the air compressor motor and then controls the air compressor's pressure relief valve to perform an opening and closing action based on the motor's operating frequency and a pre-acquired surge frequency. This achieves dynamic adjustment of the air compressor's pressure relief valve's opening and closing action based on the motor's operating frequency and pre-acquired surge frequency. Compared to related technologies that use a fixed mode to control the air compressor's pressure relief valve opening and closing, this application's method improves the air compressor's applicability, expands its application range, enhances its operational stability, and reduces energy waste and noise pollution.

[0046] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a method for controlling the pressure relief valve of an air compressor, a device for controlling the pressure relief valve of an air compressor, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium according to embodiments of this application.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a method for controlling the pressure relief valve of an air compressor, which may include:

[0048] S10. Obtain the operating frequency of the air compressor motor.

[0049] Specifically, a motor frequency detection device can be used to detect the operating frequency of the air compressor motor in real time, thereby obtaining the real-time operating frequency of the air compressor motor.

[0050] S20. Based on the operating frequency of the motor and the pre-acquired surge frequency of the motor, control the pressure relief valve of the air compressor to perform the switching action.

[0051] Surge refers to the periodic oscillation of airflow caused by insufficient flow rate during the operation of an air compressor; it is a vibration under abnormal operating conditions. The surge frequency of the motor refers to the frequency of periodic airflow pulsations generated when surge occurs in the air compressor.

[0052] The pre-acquisition surge frequency of the motor can be obtained by monitoring the fluctuation characteristics of the motor input current to determine the surge and estimate its frequency. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0053] First, the peak-to-peak value of the current is detected. During surge, the motor load changes drastically and periodically, causing significant fluctuations in the input current. Three-phase current signals are acquired in real time, and the peak-to-peak value of any phase current is checked to see if it exceeds a preset threshold. This eliminates the need for additional sensors, utilizing the current detection module of the motor control system directly, resulting in a fast response time. Next, the correlation analysis between current and speed fluctuations is performed. Current fluctuations during surge are often accompanied by speed fluctuations. By simultaneously monitoring the peak-to-peak value of the current and the speed fluctuation value (such as the change in rotor speed), surge is confirmed when both exceed the threshold, and the surge frequency is calculated based on the fluctuation period. For example, if the current fluctuation period is 0.2 seconds (i.e., 5Hz), the surge frequency can be determined to be 5Hz.

[0054] In some examples, the pre-acquired surge frequency of the motor can also be obtained by identifying characteristic frequencies in advance based on vibration spectrum analysis. Surge induces mechanical vibration, and the characteristic peaks in its spectrum can reflect the surge frequency. Specifically, the vibration signal is first acquired and processed; vibration sensors (such as accelerometers) are installed at key locations such as the compressor inlet or outlet to acquire vibration velocity signals. Then, feature identification is performed; during surge, the spectrum will show significant low-frequency peaks (typically between 1 and 60 Hz). For example, during the surge of a compressor, the inlet vibration velocity increases from 4 mm / s to 34 mm / s, and the main peaks in the spectrum are 60 Hz and 115 Hz. Finally, pressure pulsation frequency is used for auxiliary verification; surge is accompanied by large low-frequency fluctuations in exhaust pressure (1–10 Hz). The pressure fluctuation period is recorded by a pressure sensor, which directly corresponds to the surge frequency.

[0055] In some embodiments, controlling the air compressor's pressure relief valve to perform a switching action based on the motor's operating frequency and the motor's pre-acquired surge frequency may include: controlling the air compressor's pressure relief valve to perform a switching action at a corresponding rate based on a pre-acquired first relationship; wherein the first relationship is the correlation between the motor's operating frequency, the motor's pre-acquired surge frequency, and the air compressor's pressure relief valve switching action rate.

[0056] Compared to related technologies that rely on a single parameter (such as a pressure threshold) to control the pressure relief valve's opening and closing action, this embodiment dynamically adjusts the pressure relief valve's opening and closing rate by leveraging the correlation between the motor's operating frequency, surge frequency, and the valve's opening and closing rate. This improves the control accuracy of the pressure relief valve, reduces the probability of false triggering, enhances the precision of surge prevention, and improves the air compressor's operational stability. Furthermore, it avoids resonance zones when controlling the pressure relief valve's action, reducing motor blade stress fatigue and bearing wear. Precise control of the pressure relief rate suppresses periodic pressure oscillations and reduces the probability of seals and rotor damage due to severe airflow impact. Related anti-surge solutions require maintaining a large safety margin, leading to increased energy consumption. This embodiment, based on the first relationship, triggers the pressure relief valve's opening and closing control only under critical conditions, reducing ineffective gas circulation.

[0057] For example, the first relationship can be the correlation between the first difference and the switching action rate of the air compressor's pressure relief valve. The first difference is the difference between the motor's operating frequency and the pre-acquired surge frequency. The motor's operating frequency is the current operating frequency obtained in real time through the aforementioned steps.

[0058] Specifically, the first relationship can be expressed as: AVCR = f(Fn - Fnsur), and AVOR = f(AVCR); where Fn is the current operating frequency of the motor; Fnsur is the pre-acquired surge frequency; AVCR is the shut-off rate; AVOR is the opening rate; and f(·) represents a function. The first difference is Fn - Fnsur.

[0059] A dynamic anti-surge strategy is achieved by controlling the opening and closing rate of the air compressor's pressure relief valve based on a first difference value. Related technologies rely on absolute pressure or flow thresholds to control the pressure relief valve's opening and closing, which is susceptible to interference from temperature and gas composition, resulting in poor anti-surge performance. The first difference value, however, reflects the dynamic stability of the motor's operation, quantifying the safe distance between the motor's current operating point and the surge boundary, allowing for a more precise response to surge risk when controlling the pressure relief valve's opening and closing. Related anti-surge strategies require maintaining a flow rate far above the surge threshold, resulting in sustained high energy consumption. In contrast, the first difference value control in this embodiment only operates near the critical point, allowing the air compressor to operate in a more efficient zone closer to the surge boundary, significantly reducing energy consumption and waste. This embodiment achieves precise matching of the pressure relief valve's opening and closing rate based on the first difference value, reducing the coarse control of fully open / closed pressure relief valves, reducing ineffective compressed gas emissions, and saving energy. Controlling the pressure relief valve's opening and closing rate based on the first difference value allows for gradient adjustment of the pressure relief rate, reducing the impact of sudden pressure drops on seals and impellers, and lowering the air compressor's failure rate.

[0060] For example, the first relationship may include: the closing rate of the pressure relief valve is positively correlated with the opening rate; when the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the closing rate is positively correlated with the first difference; when the first difference is greater than a preset value, the closing rate of the pressure relief valve is a preset constant.

[0061] For example, the preset value is denoted as A. When Fn-Fnsur≤A, AVCR is positively correlated with Fn-Fnsur; when Fn-Fnsur>A, AVCR is the preset constant B.

[0062] The first difference is the difference between the motor's operating frequency and the pre-acquired surge frequency. When the first difference is not greater than a preset value, i.e., when the first difference is in a small difference range, the closing rate is positively correlated with the first difference. This can reduce the probability of a sudden pressure rise caused by an excessively fast pressure relief valve closing rate, thus reducing the periodic backflow caused by a sudden rise in exhaust pressure. When the first difference is greater than a preset value, i.e., when the first difference is in a large difference range, the pressure relief valve closing rate is a preset constant. This preset constant is larger than the closing rate when the first difference is in a small difference range. By closing the pressure relief valve quickly at a fixed high rate to restore pressure, the low-pressure state time can be shortened, the design exhaust pressure can be maintained, and gas waste can be reduced. In this way, a graded control strategy for the pressure relief valve opening and closing rate based on the first difference is realized, which takes into account the needs of surge prevention safety, air compressor operation stability, and energy efficiency optimization. Dynamically matching the valve closing rate allows the air compressor to operate in the high-efficiency range for a longer period of time, reducing efficiency losses caused by frequent pressure relief.

[0063] For example, the closing rate of the pressure relief valve is positively correlated with the opening rate, which may include: the closing rate and the opening rate of the pressure relief valve form a linear function with the closing rate as the independent variable and the opening rate as the dependent variable, and the slope of the linear function is positive.

[0064] Specifically, the function f(·) in AVOR = f(AVCR) is a linear function.

[0065] For example, when the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the closing rate is positively correlated with the first difference, which may include: when the first difference is not greater than the preset value, the closing rate and the first difference constitute a linear function with the closing rate as the dependent variable and the first difference as the independent variable, and the slope of the linear function is positive.

[0066] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 As shown, when Fn-Fnsur≤A, AVCR=k*(Fn-Fnsur)+d;

[0067] When Fn - Fnsur > A, AVCR = B; A represents a preset value, B represents a preset constant, and A, B, k, and d are all constants, with k > 0. The slope k and intercept d of this linear function can be obtained in advance by fitting experimental data.

[0068] In the anti-surge control process of air compressors, the closing rate (independent variable) and opening rate (dependent variable) of the pressure relief valve are designed as a linear function with a positive slope, requiring only multiplication and addition operations, without the need for iterative calculation of complex functions, resulting in low computational complexity. This significantly reduces the computational load and provides a faster dynamic response.

[0069] For example, when the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the closing rate is positively correlated with the first difference, which may include: when the first difference is not greater than the preset value, the closing rate and the first difference constitute a quadratic function with the closing rate as the dependent variable and the first difference as the independent variable, and the coefficient of the quadratic term of the quadratic function is positive, and the coefficient of the linear term of the quadratic function is less than 0.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, when Fn - Fnsur ≤ A, AVCR = a*(Fn - Fnsur) 2 +b*(Fn-Fnsur)+c; When Fn-Fnsur>A, AVCR=B; A represents a preset value, B represents a preset constant, A, B, a, b, and c are all constants, a>0, and b<0. The quadratic coefficient a, the linear coefficient b, and the constant term c of this quadratic function can be obtained in advance by fitting experimental data.

[0071] In the control of the air compressor pressure relief valve, the relationship between the closing rate (dependent variable) and the first difference (independent variable) is set as a quadratic function as described above. When the first difference increases, the quadratic term dominates the growth of the quadratic function, the closing rate accelerates non-linearly, the response to high-risk conditions is more rapid, and the incidence of cylinder tripping or compressor shutdown is reduced. The coefficient b of the first term is less than 0, which ensures that the closing rate changes smoothly when the first difference is within a small range, reducing frequent valve fine-tuning operations and minimizing mechanical wear and oscillation risks.

[0072] For example, when the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the closing rate is positively correlated with the first difference, which may include: when the first difference is not greater than the preset value, the closing rate and the first difference constitute a first function with the closing rate as the dependent variable and the first difference as the independent variable. The first function is obtained by translating a first inverse proportional function along the positive direction of the vertical axis of the coordinate system by a first positive value, and the proportional coefficient of the first inverse proportional function is less than 0.

[0073] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, when Fn-Fnsur≤A, AVCR=(p+q*(Fn-Fnsur)) / (Fn-Fnsur); when Fn-Fnsur>A, AVCR=B; where A represents a preset value, B represents a preset constant, A, B, p, and q are all constants, p<0, and q>0, and Fn≠Fnsur. The coefficients p and q of this first function can be obtained in advance by fitting experimental data. Using the first function to characterize the correlation between the closing rate and the first difference provides higher control safety and better energy efficiency balance for the pressure relief valve.

[0074] The air compressor pressure relief valve control method of this application realizes dynamic adjustment of the opening and closing action of the air compressor pressure relief valve according to the operating frequency of the motor and the pre-acquired surge frequency of the motor. Compared with the related technology that uses a fixed mode to control the opening and closing of the air compressor pressure relief valve, the air compressor pressure relief valve control method of this application improves the applicability of the air compressor, expands the application range of the air compressor, improves the operating stability of the air compressor, and reduces energy waste and noise pollution.

[0075] The description of the various embodiments above tends to emphasize the differences between the various embodiments. The similarities or similarities between them can be referred to, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0076] refer to Figure 5 As shown, another embodiment of this application provides a pressure relief valve control device for an air compressor, comprising:

[0077] The motor operating frequency acquisition module is used to acquire the operating frequency of the air compressor motor.

[0078] The pressure relief valve control module is used to control the pressure relief valve of the air compressor to perform opening and closing actions based on the operating frequency of the motor and the motor's pre-acquired surge frequency.

[0079] In some implementations, the pressure relief valve control module is further specifically used for:

[0080] Based on the pre-acquired first relationship, the pressure relief valve of the air compressor is controlled to perform a switching action at a corresponding rate; the first relationship is the correlation between the motor's operating frequency, the motor's pre-acquired surge frequency, and the switching action rate of the air compressor's pressure relief valve.

[0081] In some implementations, the first relationship is the correlation between a first difference and the switching rate of the air compressor's pressure relief valve, where the first difference is the difference between the operating frequency and the pre-acquired surge frequency.

[0082] For example, the first relationship includes:

[0083] The closing rate of the pressure relief valve is positively correlated with its opening rate;

[0084] If the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the shutdown rate is positively correlated with the first difference.

[0085] If the first difference is greater than the preset value, the closing rate of the pressure relief valve is a preset constant.

[0086] For example, the closing rate of the pressure relief valve is positively correlated with the opening rate, including: the closing rate and the opening rate of the pressure relief valve constitute a linear function with the closing rate as the independent variable and the opening rate as the dependent variable, and the slope of the linear function is positive.

[0087] For example, when the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the shut-off rate is positively correlated with the first difference, including:

[0088] When the first difference is not greater than the preset value, the closing rate and the difference constitute a linear function with the closing rate as the dependent variable and the difference as the independent variable, and the slope of the linear function is positive.

[0089] For example, when the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the shut-off rate is positively correlated with the first difference, including:

[0090] When the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the closing rate and the first difference constitute a quadratic function with the closing rate as the dependent variable and the first difference as the independent variable, and the coefficient of the quadratic term of the quadratic function is positive, and the coefficient of the linear term of the quadratic function is less than 0.

[0091] For example, when the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the shut-off rate is positively correlated with the first difference, including:

[0092] When the first difference is not greater than a preset value, the closing rate and the first difference constitute a first function with the closing rate as the dependent variable and the first difference as the independent variable. The first function is obtained by translating the first inverse proportional function along the positive direction of the vertical axis of the coordinate system by a first positive value, and the proportional coefficient of the first inverse proportional function is less than 0.

[0093] The air compressor pressure relief valve control device of this application embodiment realizes dynamic adjustment of the opening and closing action of the air compressor pressure relief valve according to the operating frequency of the motor and the pre-acquired surge frequency of the motor. Compared with the related technology that uses a fixed mode to control the opening and closing of the air compressor pressure relief valve, the air compressor pressure relief valve control method of this application embodiment improves the applicability of the air compressor, expands the application range of the air compressor, improves the operating stability of the air compressor, and reduces energy waste and noise pollution.
