Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fire control cabinet, in particular to a fire control cabinet which can detect water pump faults and extends the fault detection range from a power supply output end of the fire cabinet to a water pump terminal, so as to more accurately feedback problems of the fire pump. Background Art

[0002] Fire pumps are the main equipment for fire water supply. Because of its safety, according to fire regulations, there are usually main and backup fire pumps. When the main fire pump fails and cannot be put into use, it is necessary to switch to the backup fire pump. Therefore, how to accurately detect fire pump failure is an important part related to the stable operation of the equipment.

[0003] However, most fire pump devices currently in use cannot accurately detect pump failures. For example, contactor feedback detection is to detect whether the power output contactor is energized after the pump start command. It can only detect whether the control system is normal, but cannot detect whether the pump is operating normally or whether there are any failures. Therefore, water pump failures basically require regular inspections and maintenance by relevant technicians. This manual inspection method is too backward in an era where automation applications are so advanced. As an electrical complete set of equipment, the fire control cabinet should have this function of automatically and accurately detecting water pump failures.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for a fire control cabinet to detect water pump failure. Utility Model Content

[0007] The three-phase electric meter is provided with a 485 communication connection interface, which is connected to the 485 communication interface reserved by the PLC; the current transformer T1 is installed on the incoming power supply L1 phase, the current transformer T2 is installed on the incoming power supply L2 phase, and the current transformer T3 is installed on the incoming power supply L3 phase.

[0008] In a specific implementation example of the present utility model, the PLC is a PLC in a main controller of a fire control cabinet.

[0010] The positive progressive effect of the utility model is that the fire control cabinet capable of detecting water pump failure provided by the utility model has the following advantages:

[0011] 1. Compared with the fault detection method of contactor feedback, the utility model extends the fault detection range from the power output end of the fire cabinet to the water pump terminal, and more accurately feedbacks the fire pump problem; and realizes automatic detection of water pump faults.

[0037] The PLC is the PLC in the main controller of the fire control cabinet.
