Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material testing and environmental simulation technology, specifically to a temperature control system and method for an insulation box used in a comprehensive evaluation and testing device for the service life of composite pipes. Background Technology
[0002] In the research and development and quality assessment of composite pipe materials, it is necessary to simulate their performance changes under harsh environments such as long-term high temperatures using a comprehensive service life evaluation testing device. These experiments are typically conducted inside an insulated chamber, requiring the temperature field within the chamber to remain highly uniform and stable over extended periods.
[0003] Existing temperature control technologies for insulated chambers mostly employ simple combinations of temperature controllers and heaters, lacking the ability to optimize and finely control the overall temperature field inside the chamber. This leads to the following common problems: (1) Uneven temperature distribution inside the chamber, with obvious cold and hot zones, affecting the accuracy of experimental data; (2) Lagging system response, unable to quickly compensate for temperature fluctuations; (3) Lack of adaptive capability when operating conditions change, making it difficult to guarantee control accuracy.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a solution that can achieve intelligent, high-precision, and uniform heating and temperature control for large-size insulated boxes under complex working conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a temperature control system and method for an insulation box, so as to achieve high-precision, rapid response and uniform control of the internal temperature field of the insulation box, and ensure the reliability and accuracy of the composite pipe service life evaluation experiment.
[0006] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A temperature control system for an insulation box used in a comprehensive evaluation and testing device for the service life of composite pipes includes: A heater is used to heat the medium inside the insulation box; A servo circulation pump is used to drive the medium inside the insulation box to circulate. Multiple circulation pipelines are connected to the servo circulation pump, and each circulation pipeline is equipped with a solenoid valve; Multiple rotatable nozzles, each of which is connected to the servo circulation pump via a circulation pipeline and is driven to rotate by a servo motor to change the spray direction; Multiple temperature sensors are distributed inside the insulation box to detect the temperature at different points in real time. The controller is connected to the multiple temperature sensors, servo circulating pumps, solenoid valves, and servo motors respectively.
[0007] The heater is electrically connected to a power regulator, which is signal-connected to the controller and used to adjust the input power of the heater.
[0008] The heater and servo circulation pump are placed at the bottom of the insulation box.
[0009] The medium in the circulation pipeline is water.
[0010] A method for controlling the temperature of an insulation chamber in a comprehensive evaluation and testing device for the service life of composite pipes, employing the insulation chamber temperature control system described above, includes the following steps: Step S1: Set the target ambient temperature and the required insulation time; Step S2: Real-time temperature monitoring at multiple points inside the insulation box using multiple temperature sensors, and calculation of the average temperature difference. Specifically: ; In the formula, Indicates the average temperature difference. This indicates the set ambient temperature. This indicates the actual temperature at each point. Indicates the number of points; Step S3: Based on the average temperature difference and the volume of the insulation box, calculate the required power setting of the heater and the set speed setting of the servo circulation pump. Step S4: Adjust the heater to the set power, adjust the servo circulation pump to the set speed, open the solenoid valve corresponding to the point to be heated, and adjust its rotatable nozzle to point to the area to be heated; Step S5: Monitor the temperature of each point in real time, and close the solenoid valve corresponding to the point that has reached the set temperature; when the real-time temperature difference of all points is less than ±0.1℃, turn off the heater and servo circulation pump, and return to step S2 to perform continuous heat preservation circulation.
[0011] In step S3, the required heater setting power P is specifically as follows: ; In the formula, P represents the set power. The value represents the volume of the insulated box, 1000 is the density of water, 4.18 is the specific heat capacity of water, and t is the required heating time.
[0012] In step S3, the set rotational speed n of the servo circulating pump is specifically as follows: ; In the formula, This is the proportionality coefficient.
[0013] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention achieves high uniformity and stability of the temperature field within the insulation chamber within a range of ±0.1℃ through multi-point temperature sensing and closed-loop control algorithms; 2. This invention improves the performance of large insulation chambers by controlling the heater and servo circulating pump, and by adding multiple solenoid valves, rotatable nozzles, and uniformly distributed temperature sensors, thus addressing the uneven temperature distribution and large temperature fluctuations in some areas, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the testing experiments; 3. While achieving automatic continuous insulation, this invention also solves the problem of achieving stable and precise temperature control under complex working conditions by controlling the heater power and circulating pump speed. This saves costs.
