However, during long-term operation, solenoid valves are often affected by various factors, such as valve core jamming, solenoid coil damage, and seal aging, leading to malfunctions. These malfunctions are often difficult to detect in a timely manner using traditional detection methods, and once they occur, they may cause system downtime, performance degradation, or safety hazards. Existing solenoid valve monitoring technologies mainly rely on external sensors or periodic maintenance, but these methods suffer from problems such as delayed fault detection, inability to repair in real time, and insufficient diagnosis of complex faults.

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the solenoid valve self-diagnosis and self-repair control system of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The following describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The present invention encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of the present invention. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments, but those skilled in the art will fully understand the present invention without these details. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding of the essence of the present invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, elements, etc., are not described in detail.
[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 To address the problems of delayed fault diagnosis and difficult repair in existing solenoid valves, this application proposes a self-diagnostic and self-repair control system for solenoid valves. This system achieves continuous and reliable operation of the solenoid valve through a close integration of fault diagnosis, real-time repair, and adaptive control strategies.
[0017] This application provides a solenoid valve self-diagnosis and self-repair control system, the system comprising: 1. A data acquisition module: the data acquisition module includes a sensor group and data preprocessing, the sensor group including a current sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a position sensor; the working signal of the solenoid valve is acquired in real time through the sensor group, the sensor group monitoring parameters including current, pressure, temperature, and position; the data from the sensor group is first filtered, noise and abnormal data are removed through the data preprocessing.
[0018] 2. Fault Diagnosis Module: The fault diagnosis module performs fault diagnosis. During the diagnosis process, the module receives input from the sensor group and compares the historical data and normal operating condition data of the solenoid valve to ensure high accuracy of the diagnosis results. The fault diagnosis module is responsible for real-time monitoring of the solenoid valve's operating status and analyzing data collected from the current sensor, pressure sensor, temperature sensor, and position sensor. Through data fusion technology, it comprehensively analyzes various monitoring signals and uses neural networks to diagnose potential fault types of the solenoid valve.
[0019] 3. Decision and Repair Module: This module includes a self-repair module and a control system module. The self-repair module automatically triggers a self-repair strategy when the fault diagnosis module confirms a fault. Specific repair measures include adjusting control parameters (such as current and valve core position) to restore the solenoid valve to its normal operating state. If the solenoid coil malfunctions, the system adjusts the current; if the valve core is stuck, the system adjusts the valve core position or changes the valve opening to restore normal flow. The control system module dynamically adjusts the solenoid valve's operating control strategy based on the fault diagnosis results and the self-repair strategy. This module not only adjusts the control signal when a fault occurs but also optimizes the control signal during normal operation, improving response speed and accuracy. The control system module utilizes a feedback control algorithm to ensure the solenoid valve always remains in its optimal operating state by adjusting the control signal in real time.
[0020] 4. Execution module: including a solenoid valve actuator, which performs the continuous and reliable operation of the solenoid valve.
[0021] 5. Data transmission module: The data acquisition module, fault diagnosis module, decision-making and repair module, and execution module exchange data through the industrial standard communication protocol of the data transmission module; the data transmission module ensures the real-time performance and stability of the data acquisition module, fault diagnosis module, decision-making and repair module, and execution module. When a fault occurs, the control system can obtain fault diagnosis information in a short time and process and respond accordingly.
[0022] Preferably, the sensor group of this application includes a current sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a position sensor.
[0023] Preferably, the self-repair control strategy employs an adaptive PID control algorithm, the formula of which is: Wherein, the current error of the solenoid valve is e(t), and the system's repair control signal is u(t). These are the proportional, integral, and differential gain coefficients, respectively, and e(t) is the error signal of the solenoid valve.
[0024] Furthermore, the system employs fuzzy control to address the nonlinearity issues in solenoid valve control; in fuzzy control, decisions are made using fuzzy inference formulas. Where e(t) is the current error, Δe(t) is the rate of change of the error, and f is the fuzzy inference function.
[0025] The working principle of this application is explained below: The system performs fault diagnosis and repair according to the following process during operation: 1. Real-time data acquisition: The solenoid valve's operating signals are acquired in real time through sensors, which monitor parameters including current, pressure, temperature, and position. This sensor data is first filtered and preprocessed to remove noise and abnormal data.
[0026] Fault Diagnosis and Analysis: The pre-processed data is transmitted to the fault diagnosis module. This module uses a neural network to analyze the data and identify potential fault types in the solenoid valve. By comparing historical operating conditions with current operating data, the fault diagnosis module can accurately identify whether the solenoid valve has a fault and pinpoint the specific fault type (such as valve core jamming, solenoid coil failure, seal failure, etc.).
[0027] Automatic Repair and Control Adjustment: Once the fault diagnosis module confirms a fault, the system will activate the self-repair module. Depending on the fault type, the system will adjust the control signal of the solenoid valve. For example, if the valve core is stuck, the system will increase the drive voltage to adjust the valve core position; if the solenoid coil temperature is too high, the system will automatically reduce the current to prevent further damage. After adjustment, the control system module continues to monitor the status of the solenoid valve to ensure it returns to normal operation.
[0028] 2. Control System Module (Optimization and Continuous Monitoring): After the repair is complete, the control system module will optimize the operating parameters of the solenoid valve to ensure its optimal performance and notify the solenoid valve actuator in the execution module to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the solenoid valve. Simultaneously, the system continues to monitor the solenoid valve's operating data in real time to ensure the reliability and stability of the solenoid valve throughout its entire lifespan.
[0029] 3. Fault diagnosis and self-repair function Fault Diagnosis Function: The fault diagnosis module analyzes the solenoid valve's operating signals using data fusion technology to identify faults and determine their types. By comparing normal operating conditions with historical data, the module can accurately diagnose faults in the shortest possible time. Especially with multi-dimensional sensor data input, algorithms can identify potential minor faults, providing early warnings and reducing downtime.
[0030] Self-healing function: When the system detects a fault, the self-healing module immediately activates and takes appropriate corrective measures. For example, if an abnormal current occurs, the system will automatically adjust the drive current; if the valve core position is offset, the system will adjust the valve core drive signal. In this way, the system can repair faults in a timely manner, avoiding the impact of faults on the overall system operation.
[0031] Adaptive control strategies, algorithms, and repair strategies: The self-repair control strategy of this invention employs an advanced adaptive PID control algorithm. Assuming the current error of the solenoid valve is e(t), the system's repair control signal u(t) is given by the following formula:
[0032] in, Here, represents the proportional, integral, and derivative gain coefficients, respectively, and e(t) represents the error signal of the solenoid valve (e.g., valve core position error or flow error). This formula enables the solenoid valve's control signal to quickly return to normal operation through real-time analysis and adjustment of the error.
[0033] In addition to adaptive PID control, the system also employs fuzzy control to address the nonlinearity issues in solenoid valve control. In fuzzy control, the system makes decisions using the following fuzzy inference formula: Where e(t) is the current error, Δe(t) is the rate of change of the error, and f is the fuzzy inference function, which adjusts the control signal based on the actual operating state and empirical rules. Fuzzy control is suitable for nonlinear control problems of solenoid valves and can maintain system stability in complex operating environments.
[0034] 4. Data transmission and communication The data transmission module ensures efficient and stable data exchange between modules, especially in the event of a fault, enabling timely transmission of fault diagnosis information to the control system module. The data transmission module employs industry-standard communication protocols (such as Modbus RTU or CAN) to guarantee data real-time performance and accuracy. Through efficient data exchange, the system can complete fault detection, repair, and control adjustments in the shortest possible time, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the solenoid valve.
[0035] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects. (1) Real-time fault diagnosis and repair: This application can monitor the working status of the solenoid valve in real time and identify potential faults in a timely manner through intelligent fault diagnosis algorithms, avoiding the downtime or performance degradation caused by delayed fault detection in traditional control systems. The self-repair module can start quickly after a fault occurs, automatically adjust control parameters or take repair measures to ensure that the solenoid valve can resume normal operation in the shortest possible time.
[0036] (2) Improve system reliability: By introducing adaptive PID control and fuzzy control algorithms, the solenoid valve can intelligently adjust its working parameters when facing complex working conditions, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system under uncertain and variable working conditions.
[0037] (3) Reduced maintenance costs and downtime: Since this application has a self-repair function, the failure of the solenoid valve can be repaired in time in the early stage, reducing the reliance on manual maintenance, reducing equipment downtime and maintenance costs, and improving the overall operating efficiency of the system.
[0038] (4) Intelligent adaptive control: By combining machine learning and pattern recognition technology, this application can not only effectively detect faults, but also dynamically adjust the control strategy according to different working conditions, thereby improving the response speed and accuracy of the solenoid valve.
