Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial energy consumption technology, and more specifically, to a visualization display device for comparing energy consumption benchmarks of industrial equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial manufacturing sector, energy consumption is a key indicator for measuring production efficiency, controlling operating costs, and achieving green and sustainable development. Real-time and effective monitoring of the energy consumption status of industrial equipment and timely detection of abnormal energy consumption are of great significance for enterprises to save energy, reduce consumption, prevent equipment failures, and optimize production processes.

[0003] Currently, energy consumption monitoring in the industrial sector mainly relies on real-time data curves displayed on digital dashboards and electronic screens, or remote monitoring systems. While these methods can provide accurate numerical information, they have the following significant shortcomings in actual production sites, especially in frontline operations and inspections: First, operators need to read and understand constantly changing numbers or complex graphs to determine whether current energy consumption is within the normal range or belongs to a specific energy efficiency level. This cognitive process is time-consuming and relies on personal experience, hindering rapid judgment and making it difficult to make immediate decisions and interventions on-site. Second, traditional electronic monitoring systems typically rely on audible and visual alerts or software pop-ups in the control room for alarms, lacking direct, physical warning devices near the equipment. This can easily lead to operators failing to detect anomalies in a timely manner, potentially causing equipment to operate in an uneconomical or overloaded high-energy-consumption state for extended periods. Therefore, this paper presents an industrial equipment energy consumption benchmark comparison and visualization device to address the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Example like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the industrial equipment energy consumption benchmark comparison visualization display device of the present invention includes a display frame 1, an active finger bar assembly with an active finger bar 2, a comparison finger bar assembly with a comparison finger bar 3, an alarm assembly with an alarm 801, and a limiting assembly for limiting the active finger bar 2. The active finger bar assembly and the comparison finger bar assembly are respectively connected to the display frame 1. The panel of the display frame 1 has a vertical opening 102. The active finger bar 2 and the comparison finger bar 3 extend from the vertical opening 102 of the panel of the display frame 1 and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the panel of the display frame 1. The active finger bar 2 serves as the benchmark value, and the comparison finger bar 3 serves as the comparison value. The active finger bar 2 and the comparison finger bar 3 can be raised and lowered on the panel of the display frame 1. In addition, vertically arranged scale bars 103 are installed on the display frame 1 near the tips of the active finger bar 2 and the comparison finger bar 3. The alarm component of the present invention is disposed on the active finger bar assembly. The finger bar assembly is provided with an abutment plate 302 for activating the alarm 8.1. The active finger bar assembly also includes an active screw 5 for driving the active finger bar 2 to rise and fall. The limiting component positions the active screw 5 to lock the active finger bar 2.

[0022] Specifically, the panel of the display rack 1 is provided with comparison areas corresponding to the active finger strip 2 and the comparison finger strip 3. The comparison areas corresponding to the active finger strip 2 and the comparison finger strip 3 respectively include several color comparison areas 101 evenly distributed from top to bottom.

[0023] The active finger bar assembly of the present invention further includes a main linkage bar 201, a square plate 202 with a lead screw and nut, and a rotating rod 501. The active lead screw 5 is rotatably mounted on the display rack 1 via bearings. The square plate 202 is connected to the active lead screw 5 via a lead screw and nut. The active finger bar 201 passes through the vertical opening 102 of the display rack 1 panel and is connected to the square plate 202 via the main linkage bar 201. The rotating rod 501 is connected to the lower end of the active lead screw 5. The comparison finger bar assembly is arranged to the left and right of the active finger bar assembly and includes a motor 601, a driven lead screw 6, a secondary linkage bar 301, and a square plate 303 with a lead screw and nut. The driven lead screw 6 is rotatably mounted on the display rack 1 via bearings. The square plate 303 is connected to the driven lead screw 6 via a lead screw and nut. The comparison finger bar 3 passes through the vertical opening 102 of the display rack panel and is connected to the square plate 303 via the secondary linkage bar 301. The abutment plate 302 is connected to the secondary linkage bar 301. The motor 601 is connected to the driven lead screw 6, which drives the driven lead screw 6 to rotate, thereby driving the linkage bar 301, the comparison finger bar 3, and the abutment plate 302 to rise and fall.

[0024] The alarm assembly of the present invention further includes an L-shaped mounting strip 8 and a triggering component for triggering the alarm 801. The L-shaped mounting strip 8 is connected to the main linkage strip 201 and extends towards the comparison finger strip assembly. The triggering component is mounted on the L-shaped mounting strip 8 and located above the abutment plate 302. The alarm 801 is mounted on the L-shaped mounting strip 8 and located above the triggering component. Specifically, the triggering component includes a pressing plate 804 and a return spring 805. The L-shaped mounting strip 8 has a circular groove 803. The alarm 801 is mounted on the circular groove 803, and the switch 802 of the alarm 801 extends into the circular groove 803. One end of the return spring 805 is connected to the pressing plate 804, and the other end is connected to the inner top surface of the circular groove 803. The return spring 805 sleeves the switch 802. When the abutment plate 302 pushes the pressing plate 804, it triggers the switch 802 of the alarm 801, thus triggering the alarm 801 to operate. In addition, the side frame 4 of the display rack 1 is equipped with a zeroing button 105 for controlling the reverse rotation of the motor 601. The zeroing button 105 is connected to the signal of the motor 601.

[0025] The scale bar 103 and color comparison area 101 of this invention facilitate observation of the comparison between energy consumption value and benchmark value. The active indicator bar 2 represents the preset energy consumption benchmark value. The position of the active indicator bar 2 can be adjusted by manually operating the rotating rod 501 to set the upper limit or target value of energy consumption. At the same time, the comparison indicator bar 3 represents the actual energy consumption value of the current device. It is automatically moved by the motor 601 to compare with the active indicator bar 2. The alarm 801 and the abutment plate 302 work together to trigger the alarm 801 when the comparison indicator bar 3 exceeds the active indicator bar 2, reminding that the energy consumption has exceeded the standard. After the comparison is completed, the zeroing button 105 can be operated to control the motor 601 to reverse, so that the comparison indicator bar 3 is reset to the initial position for the next comparison.

[0026] The limiting component of the present invention positions the active lead screw 5 to lock the active finger bar 2 as follows: a positioning toothed ring 502 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 501, and the limiting component includes a limiting cylinder 7 sleeved on the rotating rod 501 and an inner toothed ring 701 fixed to the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 7; during operation, the inner toothed ring 701 meshes with the positioning toothed ring 502 to position the active lead screw 5 and lock the active finger bar 2.

[0027] Specifically, the lower end of the display rack 1 is provided with a mounting groove 104 corresponding to the position of the limiting cylinder 7. A mounting ring plate 703 is provided directly above the limiting cylinder 7 and is installed inside the mounting groove 104 by bolts. The limiting cylinder 7 can move towards the mounting ring plate 703. The specific structure is as follows: the upper end face of the internal toothed ring 701 is provided with a number of positioning holes 702 that are evenly distributed in a ring along the periphery of the limiting cylinder 7. The lower end of the mounting ring plate 703 is fixed with a number of positioning rods 704 equal to the number of positioning holes 702. The positioning rods 704 pass through the positioning holes 702 and the end face of the positioning rods 704 passing through the positioning holes 702 is connected to a limiting block 705. Each positioning rod 704 is fitted with a limiting spring 706. Both ends of the limiting spring 706 abut against the end faces of the mounting ring plate 703 and the internal toothed ring 701.

[0028] The operation process of the industrial equipment energy consumption benchmark comparison visualization display device of the present invention is as follows: First, the entire visualization display device is connected to the industrial equipment, wherein the motor 601 is connected to the microprocessor in the industrial equipment. Then, the limit cylinder 7 is manually controlled to move upward at the surface position of the rotating rod 501, so that the internal gear ring 701 is disengaged from the positioning gear ring 502. At this time, the rotating rod 501 is controlled to rotate, and the rotating rod 501 will control the active screw 5 to rotate. Thus, the active screw 5 synchronously drives the square plate 202 to move upward, and then the square plate 202 drives the active finger strip 2 to move upward, controlling the active finger strip 2 to move to the corresponding scale bar 103 and color comparison area 101, reaching the preset benchmark value position.

[0029] Once the position of the active finger bar 2 is determined, the limiting cylinder 7 is released, thereby the limiting spring 706 pushes the limiting cylinder 7 back to its initial position and controls the internal gear ring 701 to re-engage with the positioning gear ring 502, thereby positioning the rotating rod 501 and the active finger bar 2.

[0030] Then, the microprocessor correlates the current energy consumption value with the range of the comparison finger strip 3 and the stepping accuracy of the motor 601 to calculate the target height that the comparison finger strip 3 needs to move. At the same time, the motor 601 receives the pulse signal from the microprocessor and distributes the DC power supply to each phase winding of the motor 601 in a specific phase sequence according to the pulse signal, so that the motor 601 rotates precisely step by step in the forward direction. Thus, the motor 601 controls the driven screw 6 to rotate, thereby moving the square plate 303 upward, thereby controlling the comparison finger strip 3 to move to the corresponding color comparison area 101.

[0031] When the comparison finger bar 3 exceeds the height of the active finger bar 2, the abutment plate 302, which moves synchronously with the comparison finger bar 3, will push the pressing plate 804, causing the switch 802 to be activated. This controls the alarm 801 to work, so as to remind the staff that the equipment energy consumption is higher than the set value and the industrial equipment needs to be inspected.

[0032] When the comparison bar 3 does not exceed the height of the active bar 2, the staff can determine whether it is in the warning area based on the specific positions of the active bar 2 and the comparison bar 3 in the color comparison area 101. At the same time, the energy consumption of the comparison bar 3 can be determined according to the scale adjustment.

[0033] When it is necessary to control the comparison finger bar 3 to return to zero, the zeroing button 105 can be pressed to control the motor 601 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby controlling the comparison finger bar 3 to reset to the initial position.

Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
