Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of water pumps, and in particular relates to a water pump state monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] The water pump in the water plant is the core equipment and key equipment in the water treatment process.

[0003] Planned maintenance is also increasingly valued by water plants. Compared with dry equipment, the operating environment and operating conditions of submersible pumps are also relatively harsh.

[0004] Most high-end water pumps in the market now include monitoring sensors (temperature monitoring, vibration monitoring, leakage monitoring, etc.). For example, some high-end foreign brands of submersible centrifugal pumps have built-in temperature thermistors, stator chamber leakage sensors, and oil chamber leakage sensors. At present, it is difficult to deploy many sensors into submersible pumps. First, the internal space is small; second, the cables are often power cables + signal cables, and signal cables are usually not abundant. If new cables are added, water pump waterproofing, cable costs and construction are all big problems and risks; third, the paired protector is from the original water pump factory, and it is difficult for a third party to replace and replace it. Fourth, the cost of multi-core cables is also very high. It is not realistic to replace the cable if the number of communication cable cores is increased for each additional sensor. At the same time, waterproofing is also a key point. If it is not handled properly, it will leak and cause equipment damage.

[0005] In summary, the technical problems that the utility model needs to solve are: how to design a water pump status monitoring system to overcome the transmission problem of multi-sensor signals; the risk and cost of replacing cables; and at the same time, the compatibility and scalability of the original protector must also be considered.

On the basis of the existing technology, the utility model adds a vibration sensor module, which is built into the submersible centrifugal pump, and an electronic module is added inside the pump to collect and transmit the multi-sensor signals inside the water pump, modulate these signal carriers and output them to the ground, and use a 2-core cable to complete the signal and power supply transmission, thereby avoiding the addition of wiring harnesses.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0008] A water pump state monitoring system comprises an electronic module inside the pump, an electronic module outside the pump and a water pump monitoring unit;

[0009] Electronic module inside the pump: It is set inside the water pump and is used to change the serial input of multiple sensor signals inside the water pump to parallel input. It also receives the MODBUS signal of the vibration sensor, modulates the MODBUS signal and sensor signal into a carrier wave on the power supply cable and transmits it to the electronic module outside the pump.

[0010] Pump external electronic module: after demodulating the received water pump signal, transmit the signal to the water pump monitoring unit via the bus;

[0011] Water pump monitoring unit: transmits temperature signal, vibration signal and leakage signal to PLC or SCADA system.

[0012] Preferably, the sensors include a vibration sensor, a stator temperature sensor, a wiring chamber leakage sensor and an oil chamber leakage sensor.

[0013] Preferably, a dual-bus mode signal transmission is adopted between the electronic module inside the pump and the electronic module outside the pump.

[0014] Preferably, the system further comprises a communication conversion module, and the external electronic module of the pump is connected to the water pump monitoring control cabinet via the communication conversion module.

[0015] Preferably, the water pump monitoring unit is connected to the PLC via a water pump on-site protection cabinet.

[0016] Preferably, the PLC is connected to the water plant SCADA central control system, the water plant SCADA central control system is connected to the PSMS water pump status analysis system, and the PSMS water pump status analysis system is connected to the water pump monitoring control cabinet.

[0017] The utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The utility model adds a vibration sensor module based on the existing technology and builds it into the submersible centrifugal pump. An electronic module is added inside the pump to collect and transmit the multi-sensor signals inside the pump. These signal carriers are modulated and output to the ground, and the signal and power supply transmission are completed with the help of a 2-core cable, avoiding the addition of wiring harnesses.

[0019] 2. The water pump monitoring unit uses the output relay mode and MODBUS protocol mode for multiple alarm signals. The communication conversion module converts them into MODBUS TCP protocol, and the analysis software performs analysis and processing after receiving the signal. This solves the transmission problem of multi-sensor signals, reduces the cost of communication cables, improves the information closure and incompleteness of the original water pump plant, better meets the customer's requirements of "monitorable, controllable and predictable", and meets the requirements of refined management and digital operation of water plants.

[0020] 3. In the prior art, different sensors are serially input, and then the fault point is confirmed by detecting the size of different currents. Alternatively, multiple sensor signals are transmitted to the ground through multi-core cables, and the fault point is determined by the ground controller. The electronic module in the pump of the utility model collects multiple signals in parallel, and each signal does not affect each other. In addition, the scalability is enhanced, and the vibration sensor can be collected by communication. In this way, the collection of sensor signals includes current type, switch type and bus type, which is richer and more complete, and easy to expand. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
