Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater pelletizer technology, and in particular to a hydraulic system for an underwater pelletizer with closed-loop pressure compensation function. Background Technology
[0002] Underwater pelletizing technology is a crucial step in the granulation process of polymer materials (such as plastics and rubber). Its basic principle is to cool the molten polymer underwater and cut it into uniform particles using a high-speed rotating cutter. This technology is widely used due to its advantages such as high production efficiency, good particle quality, and no dust pollution. As the core driving component of an underwater pelletizer, the performance of the hydraulic system directly determines the stability, accuracy, and reliability of the cutting process, thus affecting the quality of the final product and the system's energy consumption.
[0003] However, existing hydraulic systems lack closed-loop real-time pressure compensation, resulting in insufficient pressure stability and poor system adaptability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydraulic system for an underwater pelletizer with closed-loop pressure compensation, which solves the technical problem that existing hydraulic systems lack closed-loop real-time pressure compensation, resulting in insufficient pressure stability and poor system adaptability.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a hydraulic system for an underwater pelletizer with closed-loop pressure compensation function, including a hydraulic power module, a pressure monitoring module, a closed-loop control module, a pressure compensation module, an actuator module, a feedback module, a temperature management module, a filtration and purification module, a fault diagnosis module, an alarm module, an oil-liquid isolation module, a management module, a login module, and an access control module. The hydraulic power module is connected to the pressure compensation module, the pressure compensation module is connected to the actuator module, the pressure monitoring module is connected to the actuator module, and the closed-loop control module is connected to both the pressure monitoring module and the pressure compensation module. The actuator module drives the cutting components of the underwater pelletizer. The feedback module is connected to both the actuator module and the closed-loop control module. The temperature management module and the filtration and purification module are connected to the hydraulic power module. The fault diagnosis module is connected to the closed-loop control module, the alarm module is connected to the fault diagnosis module, the oil-liquid isolation module is connected to the actuator module, the management module is connected to the closed-loop control module, and the login module is connected to both the management module and the access control module. The hydraulic power module is used to provide the power source for the hydraulic system, and the pressure monitoring module is used to monitor the pressure in the hydraulic system in real time. The closed-loop control module is used to receive feedback from the pressure monitoring module and control the pressure compensation module to achieve closed-loop pressure control. The actuator module is used to drive the cutting components of the underwater pelletizer.
[0006] The pressure compensation module includes a high-pressure micro-flow compensation unit and an electro-hydraulic proportional valve. The high-pressure micro-flow compensation unit adopts an independent electro-hydraulic valve structure based on dual closed-loop redundant control. It dynamically calculates the control current based on the collected valve core displacement, oil temperature and oil pressure data, so as to achieve precise compensation of the actuator module's millimeter-level stroke. The electro-hydraulic proportional valve is used to finely adjust the hydraulic oil flow and pressure according to the signal from the closed-loop control module.
[0007] The closed-loop control module employs a system-level simulation engine based on digital twins and a time-series prediction stress compensation algorithm that integrates deep learning. The system-level simulation engine based on digital twins is used to synchronously run a high-fidelity model consistent with the physical system. Based on the data from the pressure monitoring module and the multimodal feedback module, it generates a digital image of the system in real time, including back pressure, flow pulsation, and component dynamic characteristics, and simulates the system state in advance, outputting predictive compensation commands. The stress compensation algorithm includes the following steps: The historical and current pressure data sequences of the pressure monitoring module are acquired in real time, and the pressure fluctuation trend in the future is predicted using a trained recurrent neural network (RNN) model. The predicted pressure deviation and the real-time deviation are input together into the improved fuzzy PID controller to achieve parameter self-tuning. The feedforward-feedback composite control signal is output to the dynamic pressure compensation module to achieve proactive suppression of pressure fluctuations.
[0008] The pressure monitoring module includes a deep-sea back pressure sensing unit and a high-precision pressure sensor. The deep-sea back pressure sensing unit is used to collect the channel pressure, coolant density and cutter shaft displacement of the model in real time, and generate a digital back pressure fingerprint. The high-precision pressure sensor is installed at the pressure node of the hydraulic system for multi-point pressure detection and transmits the pressure signal to the closed-loop control module.
[0009] The temperature management module includes a temperature sensor and an oil cooler. The temperature sensor is located at the outlet of the hydraulic power module and is used to monitor the hydraulic oil temperature. The closed-loop control module adjusts the operating status of the oil cooler based on temperature data to maintain the hydraulic oil temperature within the set range.
[0010] The fault diagnosis module includes a data acquisition unit and an anomaly analysis unit. The data acquisition unit is connected to the pressure monitoring module and is used to collect pressure and temperature data; The anomaly analysis unit uses a pattern recognition algorithm to identify data anomalies. When the pressure or temperature exceeds the threshold, the alarm module is triggered. The alarm module is used to issue alarm signals and execute safety shutdown procedures.
[0011] The oil-liquid isolation module includes a direct-acting pressure compensation valve based on the principle of internal and external pressure balance and a floating double-lip sealing sleeve that works in conjunction with it. The direct-acting pressure compensation valve uses a rolling diaphragm and a constant force spring in the seawater environment pressure-sensitive component to ensure that the internal oil pressure is always slightly higher than the external water pressure, thereby achieving active pressure compensation. The floating double-lip seal is used to physically isolate the coolant and hydraulic oil at a microscopic scale based on the pressure compensation; at the same time, it monitors the leakage and reports the event to the closed-loop control module when the leakage exceeds the standard.
[0012] The actuator module includes a double-piston rod hydraulic cylinder for locking the front and rear covers of the water chamber and a hydraulic motor for driving the pelletizing blade.
[0013] This invention discloses a hydraulic system for an underwater pelletizer with closed-loop pressure compensation. In practical use, by introducing this closed-loop pressure compensation function, the system can monitor hydraulic pressure in real time and dynamically adjust the pressure compensation module, thereby significantly improving pressure stability and ensuring that the cutting process is carried out under constant pressure. This effectively overcomes the problem of reduced cutting quality caused by pressure fluctuations in existing systems. Simultaneously, the system's adaptability is enhanced, enabling rapid response to changes in external load and operating conditions, improving the reliability and efficiency of the underwater pelletizer in different environments, thus improving the overall adaptability and performance of the system. This approach solves the technical problem of insufficient pressure stability and poor system adaptability in existing hydraulic systems due to the lack of closed-loop real-time pressure compensation.

Simultaneously, the system's adaptability is enhanced, enabling rapid response to changes in external load and operating conditions, improving the reliability and efficiency of the underwater pelletizer in different environments, thus enhancing the overall adaptability and performance of the system. This approach solves the technical problem in existing hydraulic systems where the lack of closed-loop real-time pressure compensation leads to insufficient pressure stability and poor system adaptability.
[0022] Secondly, the high-pressure micro-flow compensation unit 18 adopts an independent electro-hydraulic valve structure based on dual closed-loop redundant control. According to the collected valve core displacement, oil temperature and oil pressure data, the control current is dynamically calculated to achieve precise compensation of the millimeter-level stroke of the actuator module 5. The electro-hydraulic proportional valve 19 is used to finely adjust the hydraulic oil flow and pressure according to the signal from the closed-loop control module 3.
[0023] Furthermore, the closed-loop control module 3 employs a system-level simulation engine based on digital twins and a time-series prediction stress compensation algorithm that integrates deep learning. The system-level simulation engine based on digital twins is used to synchronously run a high-fidelity model consistent with the physical system. Based on the data from the pressure monitoring module 2 and the multimodal feedback module 6, it generates a digital image of the system in real time, including back pressure, flow pulsation, and component dynamic characteristics, and simulates the system state in advance, outputting predictive compensation commands.
