Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the field of rolling steel production, the hydraulic cylinder is the core executive component of the rolling mill, and its running state is directly related to the quality precision and production efficiency of the rolling steel product. The oil pressure parameter of the hydraulic cylinder is a key indicator reflecting its working state. Through real-time monitoring of the oil pressure, it can be determined whether the hydraulic cylinder is in the normal working interval in time, thereby providing an important basis for the stable operation of the rolling mill.

[0003] At present, electronic sensors are commonly used in rolling steel production to measure the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic cylinder. However, in the long-term high-intensity industrial environment, electronic sensors are easily affected by factors such as vibration, high temperature, and oil stains, and will inevitably deteriorate or fail, resulting in distorted pressure measurement data. After the hydraulic cylinder completes the emptying operation, its internal pressure should theoretically tend to zero, but in actual application, some faulty pressure sensors will still output non-zero pressure values, causing serious interference to the subsequent production process judgment, for example, misleading the operator to believe that the hydraulic cylinder is still in the pressure-bearing state, thereby delaying the normal production scheduling or maintenance work, and bringing great hidden dangers to the continuity and safety of rolling steel production.

The following examples and features in the examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0039] In the following description, a large number of details are discussed to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present application. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented without these specific details, and in other embodiments, the known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams rather than in the form of details to avoid making the embodiments of the present application difficult to understand.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a pressure sensor body fault discrimination method.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the pressure sensor body fault discrimination method includes at least steps S110 to S150, which are described in detail as follows:

[0042] In step S110, when a preset triggering condition is met, the pressure sensor body fault diagnosis is started.

[0043] For example, the system detects the operating state parameters related to the pressure sensor in the steel rolling production in real time or at a fixed time through the built-in triggering monitoring mechanism to determine whether the preset fault diagnosis starting condition is met. The preset triggering condition is a specific state set based on the pressure sensor fault characteristics and the steel rolling production process characteristics. In this state, the hydraulic cylinder theoretically has no actual pressure, which can exclude the interference of normal working pressure on sensor detection. When the system monitors that the preset state is met, the triggering logic automatically takes effect, sends a starting instruction to the controller, and makes the pressure sensor body fault diagnosis process activated, so as to enter the subsequent measurement value collection and fault judgment stage.

[0044] In step S120, the controller reads the measurement value A1 of the pressure sensor.

[0045] Exemplarily, the controller establishes a communication connection with the pressure sensor through the data acquisition channel, after the fault diagnosis is started, triggers a data reading instruction, converts the pressure electric signal detected by the sensor in real time into a measurement value A1 and stores it, to provide original data for subsequent fault judgment.

[0046] In step S130, the measurement value A1 is compared with a plurality of preset threshold values, and corresponding alarm information is issued according to the comparison result.

[0047] Exemplarily, the controller compares the read measurement value A1 with a plurality of threshold values preset by the system, according to the threshold interval in which A1 is located, triggers and outputs an alarm signal of a corresponding level, and realizes the grading prompt of the fault degree.

[0048] In step S140, when it is determined that the sensor body is faulty and the hydraulic station is started, a fixed value is automatically used as a temporary measurement value for control logic.

[0049] Exemplarily, when the system determines that the sensor body is faulty and detects that the hydraulic station is started, a preset fixed value is automatically called to replace the measured value of the sensor, which is input into the control logic to maintain normal operation of the system.

[0050] In step S150, an alarm reset function is set, which can be realized by manual operation or logic.

[0051] Exemplarily, the system sets a reset mechanism, when the sensor fault is eliminated, a reset signal can be triggered by manual operation, or the system logic can automatically trigger when the sensor returns to normal, to clear the alarm state and make the system return to the normal monitoring mode.

[0052] In the embodiment, the diagnosis is started by a preset trigger condition, corresponding alarm information is issued by combining a threshold comparison mechanism, the fault degree can be quickly located, the fault judgment and disposal time is shortened, and the downtime loss caused by sensor failure is reduced; when it is determined that the sensor body is faulty and the hydraulic station is started, a fixed value is automatically used as a temporary measurement value for control logic, which can avoid the false shutdown of the equipment caused by the abnormal pressure value output by the sensor failure, and ensure the continuity of the steel rolling production; the application also has the functions of manual or automatic reset alarm, which can quickly restore the normal monitoring state after the sensor fault is eliminated, and improves the flexibility and convenience of fault handling, further ensuring the smooth operation of the production process. The application can realize the automatic diagnosis of the pressure sensor body fault, and can complete the fault detection without manual intervention, solve the problems of low efficiency and high misjudgment rate caused by traditional manual judgment, and especially can accurately identify the false signal caused by the deterioration of the sensor, and avoid misleading the maintenance personnel.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment of the application, the preset trigger condition is that the hydraulic station is stopped and there is no pressure build-up in the hydraulic cylinder.

[0054] In the embodiment, the system monitors the running state of the hydraulic station and the pressure state of the hydraulic cylinder in real time. When it is detected that the hydraulic station stops running and the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder is zero, i.e., the preset triggering condition is met, the fault diagnosis is automatically started.

[0055] In an example embodiment of the present application, in the comparison of the measurement value A1 with the preset multiple threshold values and the issuance of the corresponding alarm information according to the comparison result, at least steps S210 to S240 are further included, which are described in detail as follows.

[0056] In step S210, the preset multiple threshold values include B1, B2 and B3.

[0057] For example, the system prestores three increasing threshold values B1, B2 and B3, which respectively correspond to the determination critical points of different fault degrees of the sensor, to provide a reference for the interval comparison of the measurement value A1.

[0058] In step S220, if A1 is greater than B1 and less than or equal to B2, a yellow alarm is issued to prompt the maintenance of the pressure sensor body.

[0059] For example, when the measurement value A1 is in the interval of B1 to B2, the system determines that the sensor has a slight abnormality, triggers a yellow alarm signal and prompts the execution of the maintenance operation.

[0060] In step S230, if A1 is greater than B2 and less than or equal to B3, an orange alarm is issued to prompt the removal of the sensor body for cleaning the sensing end.

[0061] For example, when the measurement value A1 is in the interval of B2 to B3, the system determines that the sensor is contaminated or slightly deteriorated, triggers an orange alarm and prompts the cleaning of the sensing end.

[0062] In step S240, if A1 is greater than B3, a red alarm is issued to prompt the replacement of the sensor.

[0063] For example, when the measurement value A1 exceeds B3, the system determines that the sensor has a serious fault, triggers a red alarm signal and prompts the immediate replacement of the sensor.

[0064] In the embodiment, when A1 is in the interval of B1 to B2, the yellow warning prompts maintenance, slight abnormalities can be handled in time to avoid deterioration of the fault; when A1 is in the interval of B2 to B3, the orange warning prompts cleaning of the sensing end, which can solve moderate faults caused by pollution and the like and reduce maintenance cost; when A1 exceeds B3, the red warning prompts replacement of the sensor, which can quickly dispose serious faults and reduce the risk of shutdown. Through the hierarchical alarm mechanism shown in the embodiment, maintenance personnel can quickly and clearly determine the fault degree and processing method, greatly shorten the judgment and disposal time, effectively avoid shutdown loss caused by fault misjudgment, and improve the continuity and stability of the rolling production.

[0065] In an example embodiment of the present application, at least steps S310 to S330 are further included, which are described in detail as follows.

[0066] In step S310, the sensor value A11 at the time of triggering fault diagnosis is recorded.

[0067] For example, when the fault diagnosis is started, the system automatically stores the measurement value A11 of the pressure sensor at this moment as the reference data for subsequent comparison and judgment at the start moment of the hydraulic station.

[0068] In step S320, if the real-time detection value A1 of the sensor at the start moment of the hydraulic station is less than A11 and less than B1, it is determined that the hydraulic station is normally running.

[0069] For example, at the start moment of the hydraulic station, the system compares the real-time value A1 of the sensor with the stored A11 and the threshold B1, and if A1 is less than both, it is determined that the hydraulic station is normally running.

[0070] In step S330, if the real-time detection value A1 of the sensor at the start moment of the hydraulic station is greater than A11, a fixed value replacement operation is performed, and a red alarm is continuously issued.

[0071] For example, at the start moment of the hydraulic station, if the real-time value A1 of the sensor is greater than the stored A11, the system determines that the sensor is faulty, and immediately enables the fixed value replacement and continuously issues a red alarm.

[0072] In the embodiment, when A1 is less than A11 and less than B1, it is determined that the hydraulic station is normally running, avoiding the influence of misjudgment on production; when A1 is greater than A11, the fixed value replacement is immediately performed and a red alarm is continuously issued, ensuring that the control logic is not disturbed by abnormal signals in the fault state, and the replacement of the sensor is promoted through intensified warning. Through the dynamic comparison at the start moment, the accuracy of fault judgment is effectively improved, production interruption or misoperation caused by sensor failure is prevented, and shutdown loss is reduced.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, the application also provides a pressure sensor body fault discrimination device.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment of the application, the pressure sensor body fault discrimination device comprises:

[0078] An alarm module 4 for issuing corresponding alarm information according to the result of the comparison and judgment module 3;

[0079] A numerical replacement module 5 for automatically using a fixed value to temporarily replace the measurement value when it is determined that the sensor body is faulty and the hydraulic station is started;

[0080] A reset module 6 for providing alarm reset functions of manual reset or logical automatic reset.

[0081] In this embodiment, the triggering module 1 monitors the system state in real time, and when it is determined that the preset triggering condition is met, it sends a start signal to other modules to activate the fault diagnosis process; the data acquisition module 2 immediately reads the measurement value of the pressure sensor after receiving the start signal to provide data support for subsequent judgment; the comparison and judgment module 3 receives the collected measurement value, compares and analyzes it with the preset threshold, and generates a judgment result of the fault degree; the alarm module 4 issues corresponding alarm information according to the result output by the comparison and judgment module 3, prompting relevant personnel to handle; if it is determined that the sensor body is faulty and the hydraulic station is started, the numerical replacement module 5 automatically calls a fixed value to temporarily replace the measurement value to ensure the normal operation of the control logic; the reset module 6 clears the alarm state after the fault is eliminated through manual operation or logical automatic triggering, so that the device returns to the normal monitoring mode. Each module has clear division of labor and cooperative work, forming a complete fault discrimination and response closed loop to realize automatic detection, judgment, alarm and handling of the pressure sensor body fault.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment of the application, the preset triggering condition monitored by the triggering module 1 is that the hydraulic station stops and there is no pressure build-up in the hydraulic cylinder.

[0083] In this embodiment, the triggering module 1 collects the hydraulic station running state signal and the hydraulic cylinder pressure signal in real time, and when both of them meet the stop running and zero pressure, it is determined that the preset triggering condition is met, and the fault diagnosis process is started immediately.

[0084] In an example embodiment of the present application, the preset threshold values in the comparison and judgment module 3 include B1, B2, B3, and the alarm module 4 can issue three different levels of yellow, orange, and red alarms, corresponding to different degrees of failure.

[0085] In the present embodiment, the comparison and judgment module 3 pre-stores three threshold values B1, B2, and B3, and generates a failure degree result after comparing the sensor measurement value with the three threshold values; the alarm module 4 issues three alarms of yellow, orange, and red according to the generated failure degree result, corresponding to prompting maintenance, cleaning, and replacing the sensor.

[0086] The working principle is that the diagnosis is started by preset trigger conditions, and the corresponding alarm information is issued in combination with the threshold value comparison mechanism, which can quickly locate the failure degree, shorten the failure judgment and disposal time, and reduce the downtime loss caused by sensor failure; when the sensor body failure is determined and the hydraulic station is started, the fixed value is automatically used as a temporary measurement value for control logic, which can avoid the false shutdown of equipment caused by abnormal pressure values output by the sensor failure, and ensure the continuity of the rolling production; the present application also has the function of manual or automatic reset alarm, which can quickly restore the normal monitoring state after the sensor failure is eliminated, improving the flexibility and convenience of failure handling, and further ensuring the smooth operation of the production process.
