For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 A system for automatically controlling water quality, comprising:

[0020] A water quality detector for collecting the water quality of a target water system.

[0021] In the water system, an online water quality detector is installed to monitor target parameters (such as pH, turbidity, conductivity, chloride, total hardness, total phosphorus) in real time, and the required water quality parameters are set according to the place of the circulating water system (such as conductivity in the range of 2000-4000 μs / cm, chloride in the range of 300-500 mg / L as normal water quality).

[0022] An electric drainage valve is connected with the drainage pipe of the target water system.

[0023] An electric water replenishment valve is used to connect a clean water pipe, and the clean water pipe is used to replenish clean water for the target water system.

[0024] A PLC controller is in communication connection with the water quality detector, the electric drainage valve and the electric water replenishment valve, and when the water quality of the target water system is not within the set range, the electric drainage valve is controlled to drain the water in the target water system to the lowest liquid level, and then the electric water replenishment valve is controlled to replenish clean water for the target water system to the highest liquid level, until the water quality of the target water system is within the set range.

[0025] The principle of the application will be described below in combination with specific embodiments:

[0026] Automatic water quality regulation system for air compression station

[0027] Hardware connection: The online multi-parameter detector is installed on the circulating water pipeline of the air compression station to monitor the conductivity in the range of 2000-4000 μs / cm and the chloride in the range of 300-500 mg / L. The liquid level sensor is of ultrasonic type, L_min=80% of the pool depth, and L_max=95% of the pool depth. The drainage valve and the water replenishment valve are connected to the PLC controller through the Modbus bus.

[0028] Control program logic

[0029] Check whether the dynamic detection value of the water quality is within the parameter range, if a certain value exceeds the range, trigger the automatic start of the drainage valve program, drain according to the lowest liquid level setting to trigger the stop drainage program to automatically close the drainage valve, then trigger the automatic start of the water replenishment valve program, and when replenishing to the highest liquid level, trigger the stop water replenishment logic to stop water replenishment. Until the dynamic detection value of the water quality reaches the parameter setting range.

[0030] The control program is as follows:

[0031] Python

[0032] While True:

[0033] water_quality = sensor.read() # read water quality data

[0034] water_level = level_sensor.read()

[0035] if not check_standard(water_quality): # water quality is not up to standard

[0036] if water_level > L_min:

[0037] open_drain_valve() # drain to the minimum water level

[0038] else:

[0039] close_drain_valve()

[0040] open_fill_valve() # fill water to the maximum water level

[0041] elif water_level < L_max: # water quality is up to standard but water level is insufficient

[0042] open_fill_valve()

[0043] else:

[0044] close_all_valves() # keep the status

[0045] The application controls dynamically and automatically triggers the cycle of "draining water and filling water" when the water quality is not up to standard until the detection is up to standard. In addition, the application sets double insurance for the water level, stops the water level forcibly when draining water to be greater than or equal to L_min to prevent the equipment from breaking water, and stops the water level forcibly when filling water to be less than or equal to L_max to avoid overflow.

[0046] The above is only a specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited to this. Any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or alternative technical solutions within the technical range disclosed by the application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the protection scope of the application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
