Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a water supply competition training device, and more specifically, to a simulation device of a variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system for competition. Background Art
[0002] The variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system is a widely used water treatment system. By using advanced variable-frequency speed regulation technology, it can achieve energy-saving and efficient water supply functions. In modern buildings, especially in the domestic water supply and fire protection water supply systems of residential areas and high-rise buildings, the variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system is increasingly favored.
[0003] The design of this variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system mainly includes components such as pressure sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), frequency converters, water pumps, and pipelines. In the field of intelligent building teaching, the variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system has also been widely studied. However, due to the complex structure and difficulty in demonstration of the actual application system, it is not suitable as an electrical maintenance competition device for the variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system. To meet the needs of teaching, training, skill assessment, and competition, some different constant-pressure water supply experimental devices have emerged on the market. However, affected by problems such as uneven performance, lack of system integrity and integration, the actual application effect is poor. In addition, the constant-pressure water supply systems produced by some manufacturers adopt traditional relay contactor control circuits. This design makes the equipment bulky, the circuit complex, and the manufacturing cost high, all of which are not suitable for variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply competitions.
[0004] Generally speaking, the existing constant-pressure water supply experimental devices mainly have the following deficiencies:
[0005] 1) The existing constant-pressure water supply experimental devices mainly reflect the working principle and related parameter settings of the variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system, lacking the integration of functions such as electrical control wiring, programming, calibration, and maintenance. Therefore, they lack system integrity and cannot achieve comprehensive teaching training and skill assessment;
[0006] 2) They simply restore the working principle of the variable-frequency constant-pressure water supply system. Due to the large differences between the experimental device and the actual system, the related parameters of the experimental device are prone to large fluctuations, especially the water supply pressure is unstable. As a result, the related parameters of the system are prone to deviations, making it difficult to truly reflect the training and assessment results. Summary of the Invention
