Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning energy saving, and in particular to an energy-saving control device for process air conditioning. Background Art

[0002] Painting is a crucial part of the automobile manufacturing process. The environmental conditions in the spray booth have a decisive influence on the final paint film quality. In order to ensure that the paint film is uniform, smooth and defect-free, the temperature and humidity inside the spray booth need to be kept within a very precise and continuously stable range. The use of a process air conditioning system can provide highly accurate temperature and humidity control capabilities. It uses advanced sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity in the spray booth in real time, and automatically adjusts the cooling, heating, and dehumidification or humidification functions according to preset parameters to achieve the ideal process requirements. The process air conditioning system can ensure that the paint can be fully dried and cured at a suitable temperature, avoiding problems such as incomplete drying of the paint film due to overcooling or surface defects caused by overheating; at the same time, it effectively controls the moisture content in the air to prevent water vapor condensation (rewetting) on ​​the paint film surface when the humidity is too high, or serious static electricity when the humidity is too low, affecting the spraying effect and paint film quality. Therefore, the use of a process air conditioning system in the automobile painting process is of great significance in improving product quality, reducing production costs, and ensuring production safety and environmental protection.

[0003] In order to meet the requirements of temperature and humidity production processes, process air conditioners usually adopt fixed control strategies for continuous production. However, traditional control technology has weak decoupling capabilities for temperature and humidity, resulting in frequent fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The valve opening of this control method is relatively large, and the temperature and humidity curves fluctuate greatly, resulting in high energy consumption. How to achieve precise energy-saving adjustment of valves in process air conditioning pipelines and realize integrated collection of temperature and humidity in pipelines have become technical problems that technical personnel in this field need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0004] This device provides an energy-saving control device for process air conditioning, and the specific implementation method is as follows:

[0005] An energy-saving control device for process air conditioning, comprising:

[0006] An air supply pipeline and two connecting valves installed on the air supply pipeline and a process air conditioner, and the two connecting valves are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the process air conditioner, the connecting valve is a three-way valve structure, and a return air pipeline for residual air bypass complementation is also arranged between the two connecting valves, the connecting valves are integrated with temperature probes and humidity probes, and the valves are also provided with an electrically driven valve opening adjustment unit;

[0007] The controller has a signal input terminal electrically connected to the temperature probe and humidity probe of the two connected valves, and a valve opening adjustment unit electrically connected to the signal output terminal of the controller. The controller adjusts the valve opening according to the temperature and humidity conditions before and after the air enters, thereby achieving energy saving effects.

[0008] Based on the above technical solutions, an artificial intelligence model based on big data and gray box mode is integrated in the controller. It adopts the existing conventional artificial intelligence algorithm to integrate the temperature and humidity information of the process air-conditioning inlet and outlet. By studying the relationship between the air-conditioning inlet temperature, humidity and outlet temperature, humidity variables, the mechanism model + data drive are combined to achieve a stable control effect.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting valve is divided into a first connecting valve at the front end and a second connecting valve at the rear end. The two have the same structure, and the difference is that the assembly directions on the air supply duct are opposite. Taking the second connecting valve as an example, it includes a valve body with a cavity, inlet and outlet pipes are provided on both sides of the circumference of the valve body, and a motor and temperature and humidity detection terminals are respectively provided on both sides of the end.

[0011] Preferably, a magnetic slip ring is slidably provided on the inner side of the isolation tube, and the magnetic slip ring is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the magnetic slip ring generates a magnetic attraction force between the isolation tube and the annular baffle.

[0012] Preferably, a main pipe serving as the cavity inlet is opened on one side of the circumferential surface of the valve body, and a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe serving as the cavity outlet are arranged in parallel on the opposite side.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the accuracy and reliability of valve control can be significantly improved by adopting a valve opening adjustment unit driven by a screw. The screw drive has high positioning accuracy and repeatability, and can finely adjust the valve opening to meet the strict requirements of the process flow for parameters such as flow and pressure. At the same time, since the screw drive has good linear characteristics, the valve opening and closing process is smoother, and the magnetic attraction between the magnetic slip ring and the annular block is more stable. The annular block can use a magnetic structure with opposite magnetism to the magnetic slip ring, or a metal magnetic material.

[0014] Preferably, the length of the annular blocking block is smaller than the maximum distance between the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe.

[0015] Preferably, a circular through hole is provided at the center of the annular baffle which is slidably mounted on the outside of the isolation tube; the side of the annular baffle facing the first branch tube is arranged to be an arc surface matching the first branch tube, and the side facing the main tube is arranged to be an axially conductive open cavity, and a plurality of mutually conductive arc grilles are provided on the side of the open cavity.

[0016] Preferably, a positioning ring is provided at the front end of the detection terminal, and the two are axially slidingly connected. A hand valve is provided on the side of the valve body, and the end of the hand valve is threadedly connected to the positioning ring. The detection terminal axially passes through the hand valve to reach the inside of the valve body.

After the hand valve is completely closed, the area is isolated from the entire process air conditioning system; at this time, the old detection terminal can be safely removed, which also ensures that no medium continues to pass during the replacement process.

[0035] The embodiment of the present application discloses an energy-saving control device for process air conditioning.

[0038] The connecting valve is divided into a first connecting valve 2 at the front end and a second connecting valve 3 at the rear end. The two have the same structure, and the difference is that the assembly directions on the air supply pipeline 4 are opposite. Taking the second connecting valve 3 as an example, it includes a valve body 301 with a cavity, and inlet and outlet pipes are arranged on both sides of the circumference of the valve body 301, and a motor 302 and temperature and humidity detection terminals 303 are respectively arranged on both sides of the end.

[0039] A main pipe 3013 serving as a cavity inlet is opened on one side of the circumference of the valve body 301, and a first branch pipe 3011 and a second branch pipe 3012 serving as cavity outlets are arranged in parallel on the opposite side. In this structure, the main pipe 3013 of the second connecting valve 3 is connected to the inlet side of the air supply duct 4, its first branch pipe 3011 is connected to the outlet side of the air supply duct 4, and the second branch pipe 3012 is connected to the return air duct 5; the first branch pipe 3011 of the first connecting valve 2 is connected to the inlet side of the air supply duct 4, its second branch pipe 3012 is connected to the return air duct 5, and its main pipe 3013 is connected to the outlet side of the air supply duct 4.

[0040] The specific implementation process is that the wind enters the process air conditioner 1 through the air supply pipeline 4 and the first connecting valve 2 to produce temperature changes, and the spraying operation is carried out externally through the air supply pipeline 4 and the second connecting valve 3; the valve opening of the second connecting valve 3 is controlled by the controller 6, and the excess air volume returns to the air inlet end of the process air conditioner 1 through the return air pipeline 5 for secondary utilization.

In this structure, the length of the annular baffle 306 enables it to reciprocate between the first branch pipe 3011 and the second branch pipe 3012, that is, when the passage diameter of the first branch pipe 3011 is enlarged, the passage diameter of the second branch pipe 3012 is reduced, and vice versa, when the passage diameter of the first branch pipe 3011 is reduced, the passage diameter of the second branch pipe 3012 is enlarged.

[0045] After being introduced from the main pipe 3013, the wind passes through the arc grille 3062 into the open cavity 3061, and then passes through the open cavity 3061 laterally and is discharged to the outside from the first branch pipe 3011 and the second branch pipe 3012; during this period, the controller 6 controls the motor 302 to drive the screw rod 305 to rotate, that is, the magnetic slip ring 307 moves along the length direction of the isolation tube 308; synchronously, the annular baffle 306 also moves along the length direction of the isolation tube 308, and the shielding area between it and the first branch pipe 3011 and the second branch pipe 3012 changes, thereby causing the valve opening to change accurately.
