Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a siphon vacuum pumping system, in particular to a siphon vacuum pumping system matched with a large water source project for siphoning water with the assistance of a vacuum pump. Background Art
[0002] At present, the common water intake devices for medium and large water source projects are water pump water intake and siphon water intake. Water pump water intake has a wide range of applications, but it is costly and energy-intensive; although siphon water intake does not consume energy, in the existing siphon technology, due to continuous operation, once the air stored at the top of the siphon tube reaches a certain volume, the siphon will be destroyed and stop working. For this reason, it is still necessary to frequently start and stop the vacuum auxiliary device, which is troublesome and the operation is mostly unstable. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, the main purpose of the utility model is to provide a siphon vacuum system for large-scale water source projects that uses a vacuum pump to assist in siphoning water.
[0004] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following scheme: a siphon vacuum pumping system matched with a large water source project, the siphon vacuum pumping system matched with a large water source project comprises: a siphon pipe, a vacuum pump, a vacuum buffer tank, a gas-water separator, and an electrical control cabinet.
[0005] The siphon pipe is installed on the pipeline between the water source and the water purification plant, and is connected to the vacuum buffer tank through a water diversion branch. The vacuum buffer tank is generally connected to the vacuum pump suction port through a vacuum extraction pipe. The gas-water separator is connected to the vacuum pump exhaust port through an exhaust pipe. The vacuum pump is installed on the inlet and exhaust pipes between the gas-water separator and the vacuum buffer tank. The vacuum buffer tank is provided with a vacuum gauge for real-time monitoring of the vacuum degree in the vacuum buffer tank.
[0006] A vacuum buffer tank is added between the siphon tube and the vacuum pump. A pressure transmitter and a vent valve are arranged on the top of the vacuum buffer tank, and a drainage electric valve is arranged on the bottom. A tuning fork liquid level detection switch is arranged on the top of the siphon tube. An electric valve is arranged on the water diversion branch line between the siphon tube and the vacuum buffer tank. The siphon vacuum system in large-scale water source projects is connected to the electrical control cabinet.
[0007] In a specific implementation example of the utility model, liquid level gauges are provided on both the vacuum buffer tank and the gas-water separator.
[0008] In a specific implementation example of the utility model, an overflow pipe and a low liquid level alarm are provided on the gas-water separator.
[0009] In a specific implementation example of the utility model, a high liquid level switch and a low liquid level switch are provided on the vacuum buffer tank.
[0010] In a specific implementation example of the utility model, a tuning fork level meter for sensing water level and transmitting signals is installed at the water outlet of the siphon.
[0011] The positive progress of the utility model is that compared with the common similar technologies, the siphon vacuum system provided by the utility model in the large water source project has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. The degree of unmanned duty is high. The highly integrated automation greatly improves the unmanned duty capability and greatly reduces the on-site operation cost and management cost.
[0013] 2. The system operates stably and reliably. During the operation of the existing siphon water extraction project, due to continuous operation, once the air stored at the top of the siphon tube reaches a certain volume, the siphon will be destroyed and stop working. For this reason, it is still necessary to frequently start and stop the vacuum auxiliary device, which is troublesome and the operation is mostly unstable. The utility model can ensure the stable and reliable operation of the system by adding a vacuum buffer tank and various detection sensors.
[0014] 3. Increase the siphon water suction height. In the existing siphon technology, the siphon height is generally less than 7 meters, while the vacuum pump auxiliary vacuum pumping system involved in the utility model is not subject to height restrictions. According to the local atmospheric pressure, the highest height can be pumped to 10 meters.
[0015] 4. Save project investment and energy consumption. The vacuum pump assisted siphoning does not rely on the water pump to start the siphoning. At the same time, the power of the vacuum pump is much smaller than the power of the water pump. During operation, the vacuum pump is turned on for a very short time and frequency, and the energy consumption is very low and it can operate efficiently. Compared with the water pump water intake project, it can save about 90% of investment and operating energy consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] An overflow pipe 12 and a low liquid level alarm 9 are provided on the gas-water separator 7, and a high liquid level switch 3 and a low liquid level switch 4 are provided on the vacuum buffer tank.
[0026] A tuning fork level meter is installed at the outlet of the siphon to sense the water level and transmit signals. Figure 1 and 2 N2 in.
[0027] The application of this utility model mainly includes the following steps:
[0028] 1. Selectively start the vacuum system according to the water level of the water source.
[0029] 2. Start the electrical control cabinet and put the system into standby mode.
[0030] 3. Turn on the vacuum pump and open the vacuum branch valve of the siphon pipe at the same time to start vacuuming the siphon pipe.
[0031] 4. Monitor the vacuum degree of the vacuum tank in real time through the pressure sensor. When the preset value is reached, stop the vacuum pump.
[0032] 5. Based on the water flow signal fed back by the tuning fork switch at the hump of the siphon pipe, close the vacuum branch valve and open the siphon pipe outlet valve to start drainage.
[0033] 6. According to the actual working conditions, adjust the parameters of the electrical control system to achieve precise control of the water intake process.
[0034] 7. During the water extraction process, continuously monitor system vacuum, water flow signal, water level and other parameters to ensure stable operation of the system.
[0035] by Figure 1 Take this as an example to explain in detail the control principle of the entire vacuum system:
[0036] 1. Automatic control principle of vacuum pump:
[0037] The start and stop of the vacuum pump is automatically controlled according to the upper / lower limit of the vacuum pressure in the vacuum tank.
[0038] For example: the upper limit of the pressure in the vacuum buffer tank 1 is set to -0.08MPa, and the lower limit is set to -0.06MPa. When the vacuum pressure in the vacuum tank is lower than the set lower limit, the pressure transmitter will transmit a signal to the control cabinet. After receiving the signal, the control cabinet will control the vacuum pump suction port, the first ball valve 14 will open, the first solenoid valve 17 will open, the vacuum pump motor will start, and the vacuum pump will start to evacuate. When the vacuum pressure in the vacuum tank reaches the set upper limit, the pressure transmitter will transmit a signal to the control cabinet. After receiving the signal, the control cabinet will control the vacuum pump motor to stop, the first ball valve 14 at the vacuum pump suction port will close, the first solenoid valve 17 will close, and the vacuum pump 13 will stop running.
[0039] 2. The vacuum buffer tank 1 adopts automatic drainage:
[0040] The vacuum buffer tank 1 is equipped with a vacuum tank level gauge 2 and a level transmitter for displaying the height of the liquid level in the vacuum tank and transmitting signals. When the liquid level in the vacuum tank reaches the set high level, the second electric ball valve 22 is automatically closed, and then the venting solenoid valve (third solenoid valve 23) and the sewage electric valve (manual ball valve 6) on the vacuum tank are automatically opened to start draining; when the liquid in the vacuum tank is discharged to the set low level, the venting valve (third solenoid valve 23) and the sewage valve (electric ball valve 6) on the vacuum tank are automatically closed, and the second electric ball valve 22 is opened.
[0041] 3. Automatic refilling of gas-water separator:
[0042] The gas-water separator is equipped with a liquid level meter and a liquid level transmitter to display the liquid level in the separator and transmit signals. When the liquid level in the separator is lower than the set low level, the second solenoid valve 19 is automatically opened to start replenishing liquid; when the liquid in the separator is replenished to the set high level, the replenishing solenoid valve (the second solenoid valve 19) is automatically closed.
[0043] 4. Siphon vacuum water diversion control principle:
[0044] Install an N2 tuning fork level meter (for sensing water level and transmitting signals) at the outlet pipe of the siphon.
[0045] When the tuning fork level gauge does not sense water, the N3 valve is closed, and the first electric ball valve 21 is opened to start vacuuming and water extraction; when the tuning fork level gauge senses water, the first electric ball valve 21 is closed, and the N3 valve is opened to start drainage. Figure 1 N1 in 2 is a normally open valve.
[0046] In the present invention, the present invention requires a high degree of automation, the PLC adopts Siemens S7-1200 series, and the electrical components are selected from Siemens, Schneider, and ABB.
[0047] The utility model improves the existing technology of directly connecting the siphon tube to the vacuum pump by adding a large vacuum buffer tank between the siphon tube and the vacuum pump, and at the same time adding a pressure transmitter and a vent valve on the top of the vacuum buffer tank, and adding a drainage electric valve on the bottom; adding a tuning fork liquid level detection switch on the top of the siphon tube; adding an electric valve on the water diversion branch between the siphon tube and the vacuum buffer tank. Using a highly integrated automatic control system, according to the pressure setting and holding range, the vacuum pump is automatically operated to maintain the pressure of the vacuum buffer tank; the water is automatically drained according to the liquid level monitoring value of the vacuum buffer tank; at the same time, the electric valve on the water diversion branch is automatically switched on and off according to the tuning fork liquid level detection switch on the top of the siphon tube, thereby ensuring and improving the requirements of high efficiency, energy saving, stable and reliable operation of the entire siphon system.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model.
