[0024] The utility model provides an intelligent water pump with dual protection functions, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, from bottom to top, it includes a pump body 1, a motor 2, and a controller component. The overall structure is dustproof and waterproof. The upper end of the pump body 1 is connected to the flange plate at the lower end of the motor 2. The motor 2 and the controller component are covered with a shell 8. The shell 8 is divided into an upper and lower cavity. The motor 2 is accommodated in the lower cavity. The upper cavity is a sealed cavity. The controller component is integrated inside, including a speed regulating device 5, a control module 6, and an HMI human-machine module 7, which are electrically connected to each other. A pressure sensor is set at the end of the pump body 1. The control module 6 is provided with an external terminal pressure sensor interface connected to the pressure sensor. The terminal pressure is collected in real time through the external terminal pressure sensor and compared with the target value. The speed regulating device 5 is used to adjust the water pump speed in real time to achieve constant terminal pressure. The control module 6 is provided with a storage chip for storing pressure, current, power, time, speed, and flow data fed back by the terminal pressure sensor.

[0025] As a preferred implementation scheme, an impeller 3 is provided at the rear end cover of the motor 2, a heat dissipation channel is formed between the motor 2 and the lower cavity, and the impeller 3 is driven by the shaft of the motor 2 to provide cooling air volume for the system, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] In the implementation scheme of this case, the control module 6 is provided with a communication module, which has multiple communication functions such as 4G, Bluetooth, 485, CAN, etc., to realize data communication and control between the control module 6 and the speed control module, HMI human-machine module 7, sensors, and multiple control modules. Through 485 and the speed control module, data interconnection is realized, and the speed command is sent to the speed control module, and the speed control module controls the operation of the motor 2 according to the specified speed. In addition to 485 communication, the control module 6 and the speed control module are also connected by IO dry contacts. When the communication is lost, the speed control module is controlled by high and low levels to ensure system stability.

[0027] An improvement is provided, which is a water pump unit consisting of a plurality of intelligent water pumps with dual protection functions connected in series or in parallel. The water pump unit realizes data interaction between a plurality of water pumps through the CAN communication provided in the control module 6, and sets the first water pump as the main control center according to the connection sequence, and the other water pumps as slave pumps, so as to realize unified control by one center. When the first main control fails, the second water pump automatically switches to the main control center.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the HMI human-machine module 7 is provided with touch buttons and a display screen to realize human-machine interaction.

[0029] The sensorless pressure algorithm first calculates the relationship between flow and pump speed under different pressures through experimental means, and calculates other curves of various flow and pressure through several sets of special flow, pressure and speed curves (as shown below), and stores these data in the storage chip for use in control. The principle is through the conservation of mechanical energy of the fluid, that is, kinetic energy + gravitational potential energy + pressure potential energy = constant relationship;

[0030]

[0031] The self-learning function of the intelligent water pump control module 6 refers to measuring the current, power, speed, and voltage of the water pump at different speeds, pressures, and flow rates through a dedicated test bench, and drawing a one-to-one correspondence into a graph.

[0032]

[0033] Note: The chart only shows part of the data.

[0034] As shown in the table, the principle of the intelligent water pump sensorless constant pressure algorithm is to look up the corresponding pressure and flow rate according to the real-time current, power, speed, and voltage of the water pump to achieve sensorless constant terminal pressure. Figure 2 As shown:

[0035] Preferably, the controller component compares the terminal pressure and flow calculated by the sensorless algorithm with the pressure and flow of the terminal sensor, combined with historical data, and determines whether the current system is operating normally by comparing with the target value, thereby avoiding system loss of control due to sensor failure and providing double protection for the system.

[0036] Combination Figure 4 Figure 5 , Figure 6 Further explanation of the implementation method. The terminal pressure sensor feeds back the pressure signal to the control center of the control module 6 through the 4-20mA analog interface of the control module 6 to obtain real-time terminal pressure data. The control module 6 is equipped with a clock function and can perform time correction with the cloud to ensure time accuracy; the control module 6 is equipped with a storage chip, which stores operation data every 3-10 minutes. The stored data includes: sensor feedback pressure, current, power, time, speed, and can store 1 year of operation data (such as Figure 5 As shown, the vertical axis unit is pa), and the historical data of each day is summarized; in order to reduce the calculation cycle and data volume, according to the total power trend chart, the continuous data with a total power difference within a certain range is divided into an interval, and a year is divided into multiple intervals AZ; and the pressure, current, power, and speed of each interval are summarized and averaged to generate a range chart of pressure, current, power, and speed in the interval for one day, as shown in Figure 6 When the system is running, at 0:00 every day, the range chart of the day is selected according to the date as the basis for fault judgment.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the terminal pressure data obtained by the sensorless algorithm is compared with the pressure value fed back by the terminal pressure sensor. If the error between the two values ​​is within 5%, it is determined to be normal and the system is working normally. If the error between the two values ​​is between 5% and 10%, a warning signal is issued, but the system does not stop to maintain the current state of operation; if the error between the two values ​​exceeds 10%, the historical data is compared at this time. If the pressure data fed back by the pressure sensor is within the historical data range and the sensorless pressure exceeds the historical data, the sensor pressure signal is used to maintain the system operation, and the sensorless algorithm coefficient is adjusted to correct the sensorless pressure value; otherwise, the sensor pressure signal is used to maintain the system operation, and the system issues a fault alarm; when the pressure sensor pressure, the sensorless algorithm pressure, and the historical data all differ by more than 10%-30%, the system is maintained by all three systems to ensure basic water supply; once the pressure sensor pressure, the sensorless algorithm pressure, and the historical data all differ by more than 30%, the system is shut down for protection. This solution provides a dual fault protection for the water supply system, solves the problem of system sensor fault detection, and at the same time ensures the ability of the water pump to supply water when the sensor fails.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
