[0020] In order to further describe the present invention, the specific implementation of the large-flow high-pressure gas pre-charging control system is further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0021] The following is a detailed description of the large flow and high pressure gas pre-charge control system with two valves. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown: it includes a flow meter base meter 1, a flow meter base meter 2, a flow computer 1 3, a flow computer 2 4, a CPU card control 1 5, a CPU card control 2 6, an industrial control computer 9, a programmable logic controller 15, a data acquisition device 10, a valve electric actuator 1 17, a valve electric actuator 2 18, a power switch 21, a UPS 1 7, a UPS 2 8, a power monitor 14, an indicator light 16, a VGA to optical fiber transmitter 11, a VGA to optical fiber receiver 12, a prepaid control cabinet 20, and a flow computer cabinet 25.

[0022] The flow meter base meter 1 is connected in series with the ball valve 24, and the flow meter base meter 2 is connected in series with the ball valve 26, and then installed on two parallel branches on the gas pipeline. The valve electric actuator 17 is installed on the ball valve 24, the valve electric actuator 28 is installed on the ball valve 26, and the flow computer 13 and the flow computer 24 are installed on the cabinet door of the flow computer cabinet 25. The flow computer 13 collects the working flow, temperature, and pressure data of the flow meter base meter 1, and the flow computer 24 collects the working flow, temperature, and pressure data of the flow meter base meter 2. The flow computer converts the flow into the standard flow after correction according to the temperature and pressure.

[0023] CPU card control 15 reads the standard condition cumulative flow, working condition cumulative flow, working condition instantaneous flow, standard condition instantaneous flow, temperature, and pressure of flow computer 13 through RS422, and uses the standard condition cumulative flow as the basis for charging. CPU card control 26 reads the standard condition cumulative flow, working condition cumulative flow, working condition instantaneous flow, standard condition instantaneous flow, temperature, and pressure of flow computer 24 through RS422, and uses the standard condition cumulative flow as the basis for charging. CPU card control 15 and CPU card control 26 have a CPU card recharge interface. After the user takes the user card to the gas charging system of the gas company to purchase gas, the user card is inserted into the recharge interface of the CPU card control, and the purchased gas volume is stored in the CPU card control. CPU card control 15 and CPU card control 26 calculate independently, and when arrears occur, they automatically output valve closing signals.

[0024] The industrial control computer 9 reads the data of the CPU card control 1 5 and the CPU card control 2 6 through RS485, monitors the valve opening and closing signals of the CPU card control 1 5 and the CPU card control 2 6, and displays them on the screen of the industrial control computer 9.

[0025] The industrial control computer 9 communicates with the programmable logic controller 15 via RS485, sends valve opening and closing instructions to the programmable logic controller 15 at regular intervals, and reads the programmable logic controller 15 and valve status data.

[0026] The programmable logic controller 15 controls the valve electric actuator 17 and the valve electric actuator 2 18 to open and close the ball valve 24 and the ball valve 26 respectively through a DC24V direct current signal. The programmable logic controller 15 also controls the indicator light 16 to indicate the current opening and closing of the valve, and to indicate the state of the valve opening and closing. The programmable logic controller 15 is connected to the forced opening and closing switches through DC24V. When emergency gas is needed, the forced opening and closing switches can be used to control the programmable logic controller to output the opening and closing valve signals to the valve electric actuator.

[0027] The power monitor 14 monitors the external input voltage of the power switch 21, and transmits the power failure signal to the programmable logic controller. When the power failure exceeds a certain time, the programmable logic controller automatically outputs the valve closing signal to the valve electric actuator 17 and the valve electric actuator 2 18 to close the ball valve 24 and the ball valve 26. This prevents the valve from not closing when the power fails and the gas consumption from not being metered.

[0028] The backup power supply UPS-7 is specially used to supply power to the equipment in the flow computer cabinet, and UPS-8 is used to supply power to the equipment and valve electric actuator in the pre-charge control cabinet.

[0029] The VGA to optical fiber transmitter 11 is connected to the industrial control computer 9 via a VGA line, and then connected to the VGA to optical fiber receiver 12 at the far end via an optical fiber. The VGA to optical fiber receiver 12 is connected to the user's central control room display screen 13 via a VGA line. The user's central control room display screen displays the data related to the two CPU card controls and the user, such as the standard condition accumulated gas consumption, instantaneous flow, remaining amount (or gas volume), temperature, pressure, valve status and other data.

[0030] As another embodiment of a large flow and high pressure gas pre-charge control system, Figure 5 As shown, three parallel branches can be controlled, and there are three sets of flow meter base meter, flow computer, CPU card control, valve electric actuator and ball valve.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
