Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of valve technology, and relates to a displacement detection mechanism applied to a linear reciprocating motion valve, and specifically designs a displacement detection mechanism for a linear reciprocating motion valve in a VOCs treatment device. Background Art
[0002] At present, the pneumatic actuators of VOCs treatment equipment generally use linear reciprocating motion to drive the actuators, but there will be a certain amount of air resistance when the actuators or valves move, and the movement stroke of the piston rod will also produce a certain amount of air resistance. The gap between the moving parts caused by air resistance will gradually increase with the increase of use time, thus causing the closing gap of the valve to change, causing the equipment to fail to operate normally.
[0003] Due to the large size, complex structure, bad operating environment, low working efficiency and other factors of the equipment, a single cylinder is usually used to drive multiple actuators to complete the linkage work of the equipment. The structure that uses linear actuator elements (electric cylinder or pneumatic cylinder) to output power to the valve currently uses mechanical limit switches or magnetic induction switches to detect whether the opening / closing is in place. The feedback signal of this detection method is a switch quantity, and the detection range is small. It is specifically reflected in the following points:
[0004] 1. The mechanical limiter is installed on the valve stem of the valve body. Due to the large stroke of the mechanical limiter, it is impossible to accurately judge whether the valve is fully opened or closed. When the valve is not fully closed (there is a gap between the valve plate and the valve seat), it is impossible to accurately judge.
[0005] 2. The magnetic induction switch is installed on the cylinder body. Since it is directly connected to the valve body, when the valve stem or valve power component is broken, the valve operation status cannot be detected. In addition, the detection accuracy of the magnetic induction limit switch is relatively high (1-2mm). After the valve has been running for a long time, the deformation may also cause it to exceed the detection range of the magnetic induction limit switch, causing it to produce a false alarm state, resulting in the corresponding alarm action of the equipment (equipment shutdown or equipment standby).
[0006] The switch detection signal (which can only detect the open and closed positions) is changed into a displacement detection signal, and the displacement offset is calculated by an algorithm, that is, a displacement sensor is used to solve the problems caused by the low-precision measurement of mechanical switches and the high-precision measurement of magnetic induction limit switches. However, in specific applications, the valve will rotate during the linear movement, which will cause the displacement sensor and the valve stem to be entangled or deformed, causing damage to the sensor. It cannot work. Utility Model Content
