Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of industrial valve maintenance automation, and particularly relates to a valve intelligent sensing and control terminal and an implementation method thereof, which are used for predicting, sensing and dynamically controlling a valve. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of industrial production, during the long-term operation of various types of valves, the valve stem needs to be repeatedly rotated to realize the opening and closing control of the valve. However, this process inevitably causes wear of the related components of the valve stem assembly. With the passage of time, the wear of the components gradually intensifies, which easily leads to problems such as jamming, malfunction or sealing failure of the valve, thereby affecting the normal operation accuracy of the valve and bringing safety hazards to the stable operation of the entire industrial system.
[0003] At present, the evaluation of the valve state mainly relies on manual recording of the valve stem operation times, which is not only inefficient but also requires a large amount of labor cost, and it is difficult to accurately grasp the actual working condition of the valve in real time. In practical applications, maintenance is often carried out only after the valve fails, which not only increases the maintenance cost but also may cause production interruption due to failure downtime, further increasing the operation burden of the industrial system. The above problems are common in various application scenarios of valves.
[0004] Therefore, in the industrial field, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can automatically monitor the state of the valve. Through the valve state sensing intelligent terminal, the displacement rotation angle of the valve stem is monitored in real time, the running state of the valve is predicted in advance, and when the number of valve stem operations reaches a preset threshold, an alarm is automatically triggered so that the staff can timely maintain. At the same time, based on the monitored valve stem displacement rotation angle information, the gas input is increased or decreased adaptively, so as to dynamically adjust the opening angle of the valve, ensure that the valve always maintains accurate running state, avoid failure problems caused by component wear, and ensure stable and efficient operation of the industrial system.

[0020] In the second aspect, the application provides an implementation method of the valve intelligent sensing and control terminal, and the implementation method is specifically as follows:
[0021] S1: connect the connecting shafts with the valve rod and the rotating shaft of the pneumatic actuator respectively, fix the box body on the valve seat, and connect the air source and the wires and signal lines among the modules;
[0022] S2: when the control module is given an opening signal, the control module controls the output of the pneumatic amplification module so as to reach the initial set air volume required for opening the valve, and the air volume is sufficient to open the corresponding valve to reach the opening state; when the control module is given a closing signal, the control module controls the pneumatic amplification module to discharge the air pressure in the pneumatic actuator to reach the full-closed state of the valve;
[0023] S3: in the opening and closing process of the valve, the sensors of the displacement module and the strain module sense the angle, number of times and tension change of the rotation of the connecting shaft, and transmit the data to the control module; the control module monitors the rotation angle, number of times, time and torque size of the valve, and calculates the rotation speed of the valve and the friction force borne by the valve rod;
[0024] S4: when the valve is matched, the initial value is set according to the required output torque of the valve, including the initial torque M 0 and the initial speed V 0 =90 / T 0 ; wherein, T 0 is the initial time required for rotating 90° under the torque;
[0025] S5: when the given opening and closing signal, the friction force borne by the valve rod suddenly increases or the valve position almost does not change in the action process of the valve, that is, the torque value M >80% M 0 or the valve speed V ≈0, the control module outputs the fault alarm information, and the red light of the alarm module is always on;

[0031] The present application has the following beneficial effects relative to the prior art:
[0032] 1) The present application has higher precision and stability: In the current industrial valve maintenance monitoring field, most of the valve health conditions are still determined by manual counting. Especially in high-intensity working conditions, the valve is continuously opened and closed for work, which inevitably causes problems such as missed recording, misrecorded, low efficiency, and the inability to determine the valve stem rotation amplitude and the valve rotation state, making it difficult to achieve accurate perception of the valve state. The device provided by the present application can accurately measure the valve stem through the built-in sensor and transmit external signal warnings and transmissions through the alarm and communication modules. In addition, the functional modules of the device are independently encapsulated, supporting flexible replacement and expansion, such as adapting to different types of sensors to achieve the desired value.
[0033] 2) The maintenance strategy of the present application is more accurate and has self-adaptive dynamic adjustment capability: In the past, valves were usually manually inspected and repaired after internal components were damaged and could not work normally, which belonged to "after-the-fact remedy" and easily caused system sudden shutdown, medium leakage, and even safety accidents. The device provided by the present application can update the valve stem cumulative rotation number in real time through electronic counting, and when the preset threshold is reached, the LED flickering prompt for manual detection and maintenance is given through the alarm module, and remote reminders are given through the communication module to avoid faults. The parallel design of the alarm module and the communication module ensures double response (local alarm + remote early warning) in abnormal state, meeting the high reliability requirements of industrial safety scenarios. On the other hand, the device can rely on the integrated pneumatic amplifier module to realize self-adaptive dynamic adjustment: when the sensor detects abnormal valve stem rotation amplitude, tension fluctuation, and other factors affecting valve operation, the pneumatic amplifier controls its gas output size by receiving the signal given by the control module, and then accurately adjusts the valve opening angle to correct the valve stem operating state. The above two aspects not only solve the passivity of traditional "after-the-fact repair", but also improve the working conditions of the valve stem through real-time dynamic adjustment, reduce component wear caused by operating parameter deviation, prolong the service life of the valve, and realize "early warning + adjustment" double protection.

The upper shell 11 is connected with the pneumatic actuator 1000, and the lower shell 12 is connected with the valve seat of the valve 2000. The bottom of the upper shell 11 is detachably (such as screw connection) connected with the top of the lower shell 12 to form an overall sealed structure. The upper part of the connecting shaft 2 penetrates out of the upper shell 11, and an oil seal is arranged at the contact position to ensure the overall sealing of the box body.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the displacement module 3 includes a Hall circuit board 31 and a Hall element 32. As shown in Figure 2 and 4As shown, the Hall circuit board 31 is an integrated annular structure, coaxially sleeved and fixed on the outside of the connecting shaft 2, and the inner annular surface is opposite to the magnetic powder spraying surface of the connecting shaft.

The detection surfaces of the two Hall sensors are both opposite to the position above the shaft shoulder where the magnetic powder is sprayed, and the detection surfaces are kept at a fixed distance of 5 mm from the surface of the shaft where the permanent magnetic powder is sprayed.
[0053] When the valve is opened and closed, the valve rod drives the connecting shaft to rotate to the corresponding position, and the Hall sensors A and B arranged on the circuit board can detect the number of rotations of the valve rod through the Hall effect. Because the Hall sensors A and B have a position difference of 90°, the forward and reverse rotation of the valve rod can also be inferred according to the sequence of the pulse signals collected by the Hall sensors A and B.
[0054] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the Hall circuit board can be fastened to the base support by screws and arranged concentrically with the connecting shaft.
[0055] In the terminal device of the present application, the strain module 4 is used to collect the electrical signal value of the strain gauge arranged on the connecting shaft 2 and calculate the torque.

When the shaft body is displaced and rotated, the strain gauge senses the small tension of the shaft body and generates a change in resistance value, which is output to the control module by wires. The control module calculates the corresponding torque change value according to the built-in algorithm.
[0057] In actual use, in order to ensure that the strain gauge is in full contact with the surface of the shaft body, fine sandpaper is used to polish the bonding position of the shaft body before bonding, and an alcohol wipe is used to wipe the bonding surface to ensure that the bonding surface is free of impurities. When bonding the strain gauge, the epoxy resin glue is evenly applied to the contact surface of the strain gauge, and then the surface is pressed against the polished area of the shaft body. During the pressing process, the surfaces should be in full contact.

It is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet is connected with the air source, and the air outlet is connected with the pneumatic actuator 1000, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 In actual use, the pneumatic amplification module can be turned on to a certain position by the switch signal given by the control module to reach the current required full opening level; at the same time, the control module can control the air output size of the pneumatic amplification module in combination with the collected torque and angle data, and then adjust the output torque of the pneumatic actuator. When the valve rod is working, the control module 5 accepts the data collected by the displacement module 3 and the strain module 4, and when the valve sticking is detected, the control module 5 will dynamically control the gas output of the pneumatic amplifier 6 Q m to ensure that the increased friction can be overcome, and the opening speed is comparable to the initial speed.
