[0029] like Figs. 1-2 As shown in the schematic embodiment of the hypersonic large-diameter valve flow rate rapid adjustment device provided by the present invention, multiple electrically controlled valves 1 are connected in parallel to form a large-diameter valve for conveying gas. Each end of the large-diameter valve has two straight pipes, one of which is sealed to the inlet of all electrically controlled valves 1, and the other is sealed to the outlet of all electrically controlled valves 1. Each electrically controlled valve 1 has a different number i. All electrically controlled valves 1 are controlled to open and close by the same control system 2. The mass flow rate of each electrically controlled valve 1 within the control system 2 is... The calculation formula is:
[0030] In the above formula, The mass flow rate of electrically controlled valve 1 is kg / h; For large-diameter valves, ; The flow area of electrically controlled valve 1, ; ρ is the absolute pressure downstream of the large-diameter valve, in Pa; k is the gas adiabatic coefficient; Z is the gas compressibility factor. The absolute gas temperature upstream of the large-diameter valve, in K; The absolute pressure upstream of the large-diameter valve, in Pa; This is the critical pressure ratio; in, ,k,Z, Obtained through experiments, This information was obtained by measuring or consulting the product manual for electrically controlled valve 1. , , These are real-time measured values; Control system 2 uses model predictive control algorithms and / or machine learning algorithms to synchronously regulate the mass flow rate of each electrically controlled valve 1. This allows large-diameter valves to quickly reach the target flow rate, and the time required for flow regulation is less than that required for traditional large-diameter electric valves with the same inner diameter.
[0031] In some embodiments, the formula for calculating the mass flow rate Q of the large-diameter valve in control system 2 is:
[0032] In the above formula, Q is the mass flow rate of the large-diameter valve, kg / h; For large-diameter valves, ; For large-diameter valves, ; ρ is the absolute pressure downstream of the large-diameter valve, in Pa; k is the gas adiabatic coefficient; Z is the gas compressibility factor. The gas temperature before the valve of a large-diameter valve, in K; The absolute pressure upstream of the large-diameter valve, in Pa; This is the critical pressure ratio; in, ,k,Z, Obtained through experiments, For all the sum of , , These are real-time measurements.
[0033] The above formula can be used to directly and quickly calculate the mass flow rate Q of large-diameter valves without having to calculate the flow rate of each electrically controlled valve 1 and then add them together, which can reduce the calculation error of the mass flow rate Q of large-diameter valves.
[0034] In some embodiments, Z is calculated using the following formula:
[0035] Where P is the absolute pressure of the gas inside the experimental container, in Pa; This represents the molar volume of the gas inside the experimental container. / mol; R is the gas molar constant, which is 8.3145 J / (mol) K); T is the absolute temperature inside the experimental container, K.
[0036] k is obtained by measuring the speed of sound or by shock tube measurement.
[0037] The calculation formula is as follows:
[0038] Where k is the gas adiabatic coefficient.
[0039] The flow coefficient and flow resistance coefficient of the valve were obtained by experimental methods.
[0040] In some of these embodiments, The sampling location is at a distance greater than or equal to twice the inner diameter of the large-diameter valve inlet. This location is in a region with a relatively stable flow velocity distribution and a small temperature gradient, making it less susceptible to heat conduction interference from the large-diameter valve. In contrast, the area near the large-diameter valve may experience eddies or localized high / low temperature zones due to the throttling effect, resulting in larger temperature fluctuations.
[0041] Furthermore, The pipeline centerline from the data acquisition location to the inlet of the large-diameter valve is a straight line to reduce the impact of pipeline shape on calculation accuracy.
[0042] In some of these embodiments, Temperature is obtained by inserting a temperature sensor into the pipe at the inlet of a large-diameter valve. The insertion depth of the temperature sensor is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the pipe's inner diameter, which reduces interference from heat conduction through the pipe wall and allows for rapid and accurate capture of temperature changes in the fluid near the center.
[0043] In some embodiments, the flow area of the electrically controlled valve 1 is 5. Up to 700 , With high accuracy in calculating Q, the flow rate of large-diameter valves can be adjusted quickly, reducing the flow rate adjustment time by at least half.
[0044] In some of these embodiments, The distance between the sampling location and the inlet of the large-diameter valve is greater than or equal to one times the inner diameter of the large-diameter valve. The distance between the sampling location and the outlet of the large-diameter valve is greater than or equal to one time the inner diameter of the large-diameter valve.
[0045] The above distance setting can ensure , The sampling area is located in a region with relatively stable flow velocity distribution, eliminating interference such as eddies and velocity distortion caused by throttling of large-diameter valves, making the pressure measurement values closer to the actual operating conditions. Simultaneously, vibrations generated by the opening and closing of large-diameter valves or media impacts... , The data collection will not cause significant interference.
[0046] Furthermore, , Obtained through two pressure transmitters.
[0047] Furthermore, , The pipeline centerline from the data acquisition point to the large-diameter valve is a straight line to reduce the impact of pipeline shape on calculation accuracy.
[0048] In some embodiments, the electrically controlled valve 1 has multiple opening degrees, including fully open, fully closed, and partially open, which can reduce the flow regulation step size and further improve the flow regulation efficiency of large-diameter valves.
[0049] The flow area in the half-open state is equal to half the flow area in the fully open state.
[0050] Furthermore, the electrically controlled valve 1 has up to five opening degrees to balance the structural complexity of the electrically controlled valve 1, the computational load of the control system 2, and the flow regulation speed.
[0051] In some embodiments, the large-diameter valve is composed of multiple groups of electrically controlled valves 1 connected in parallel. The flow areas of different groups of electrically controlled valves 1 are different, while the flow areas of electrically controlled valves 1 in the same group are the same. Each group has at least one electrically controlled valve 1 to reduce the number of electrically controlled valves 1 that need to be regulated and further improve the flow regulation efficiency of the large-diameter valve.
[0052] In some embodiments, the control system 2 has a built-in preset matrix table, which contains the number of each electrically controlled valve 1, all opening states, and the flow rate corresponding to each opening state. After receiving a flow rate adjustment command, the control system 2 synchronously regulates the mass flow rate of each electrically controlled valve 1 based on the matrix table using model predictive control algorithms and / or machine learning algorithms. This allows large-diameter valves to quickly reach the target flow rate.
[0053] The matrix table setup eliminates the need for flow calculation steps for a single electrically controlled valve during flow regulation, further improving the flow regulation efficiency of large-diameter valves.
[0054] Furthermore, when the opening combination of the electrically controlled valve 1 under a certain target flow rate is not unique, the control system 2 compares the difference between the target flow rate and the current flow rate, and combines the current opening combination of the electrically controlled valve 1 to select the opening combination of the electrically controlled valve 1 that has the least impact on the continuity and uniformity of the flow rate as the optimal solution, and adjusts the opening of the electrically controlled valve 1 accordingly.
[0055] In some embodiments, the hypersonic large-diameter valve flow rapid adjustment device also includes a bracket, and all electrically controlled valves 1 are regularly arranged and welded to the bracket.
[0056] Furthermore, all electrically controlled valves 1 are arranged in a matrix or trapezoidal pattern, with electrically controlled valves 1 having the same flow area located in the same row, and electrically controlled valves 1 having different flow areas located in different rows.
[0057] The preferred embodiment of the present invention includes all the technical features of all the above embodiments, and the efficiency of flow regulation using different algorithms based on this embodiment is as follows: Fig. 2 As shown in matrices 1, 2, and 3, the flow regulation efficiency of traditional large-diameter valves with the same inner diameter is as follows: Fig. 2 As shown in the traditional regulation, it can be seen that the flow regulation efficiency of large-diameter valves can be significantly improved by adopting this embodiment.
[0058] Through the description of several embodiments of the hypersonic large-diameter valve flow rapid regulation device of the present invention, it can be seen that the embodiments of the hypersonic large-diameter valve flow rapid regulation device of the present invention have at least one or more of the following advantages: 1. This invention connects multiple electrically controlled valves 1 in parallel to form a large-diameter valve, and the control system 2 uses model predictive control algorithm and / or machine learning algorithm to synchronously regulate the mass flow rate of each electrically controlled valve 1. This allows large-diameter valves to quickly reach the target flow rate, and the time required for flow regulation is less than that required for traditional large-diameter electric valves with the same inner diameter.
[0059] 2. The control system 2 of the present invention has a built-in preset matrix table, which contains the number of each electrically controlled valve 1, all opening states, and the flow rate corresponding to each opening state. The matrix table eliminates the need for flow calculation steps for a single electrically controlled valve 1 during flow regulation, further improving the flow regulation efficiency of large-diameter valves.
[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0061] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solutions claimed in the present invention.
