The main discrimination method is to use a listening rod to detect the leakage sound in the valve box, and judge whether the conical valve is working properly one by one through manual experience. In addition, since the number of inlet and outlet conical valves of each diaphragm pump is large, and there is a lot of noise interference generated after the diaphragm pump operates, it increases the working difficulty and labor cost for timely and accurately judging the leakage fault point of the conical valve.

[0024] Logic principle of the cone valve fault monitoring system of the diaphragm pump 1
[0025] The most core part of the cone valve fault monitoring technology is the data acquisition, calculation and logical judgment. To ensure the accuracy of the collected data and that the analog quantity collected is not interfered by the outside world, we use KVVP (or RVSP) double-shielded cables to transmit signals. During construction, ensure that the signal cable is far away from the power cable to reduce electromagnetic interference. Secondly, in terms of the data calculation idea, when the collected data enters the PLC system, the system automatically converts the 4-20mA analog quantity into the corresponding pressure value, current value and flow value within the measuring range. Take the average value of the first ten collected values and perform a difference calculation with the current instantaneous value collected, and the current data fluctuation value can be obtained. When the calculated fluctuation value is greater than the set fluctuation critical value, the PLC system outputs a DQ alarm signal. It should be noted that this calculation program segment should be written in the Cyclic intevrupt and the cyclic interrupt time should be adjusted to 100000us; by periodically starting this calculation program segment without executing the loop program; the calculation formula is as follows (taking the pressure value calculation as an example):
[0026] ;
[0027] ;
[0028] : The average value of the first ten pressures; : The pressure fluctuation amplitude value;
[0029] : The current instantaneous pressure value; : The set fluctuation critical value;
[0030] Through calculation and analysis, when it indicates that there is a large fluctuation in the inlet pressure of the diaphragm pump 1. Intuitively judge that the cone valve has leaked. At this time, the PLC outputs an alarm signal, triggering the audible and visual alarm system, and promptly reminding the personnel in the central control room to immediately notify the maintenance team to troubleshoot the fault; the current and flow acquisition and calculation methods are the same as those for the pressure value calculation.
[0031] Of course, when adjusting the working frequency of the diaphragm pump 1 or adjusting the working frequency of the upstream slurry transfer pump of the diaphragm pump 1 according to production requirements, it will also cause large changes in the inlet pressure of the diaphragm pump 1, the working current of the diaphragm pump 1, and the outlet flow value. After normal regulation, the data value will return to a stable state within a short time. To eliminate the system false alarm triggered by normal process regulation, in the PLC program, the unit time counting method can be used to set that the number of consecutive occurrences within 2 minutes exceeds 5-10 times, triggering the alarm system. At the same time, comprehensively considering the absolute values of the current value and flow value fluctuations, accurately judge the working state of the cone valve.
[0032] Fault handling measures and methods to reduce the failure rate
[0033] Fault Disposal Measures
[0034] When the monitoring system alarms due to leakage of a cone valve in a certain diaphragm pump 1, at this time, the leakage of the cone valve is small, causing minor milling damage to the cone valve unit, and the valve body has not been damaged yet. The leakage fault is still in the initial stage. After accurately judging the faulty cone valve unit according to the alarm information, the operator immediately performs an emergency shutdown operation, and at the same time increases the working load of other diaphragm pumps 1 or starts the standby pump. After the system is normal and stable, the maintenance worker replaces the new cone valve unit in time according to the maintenance regulations to maintain the sustainability of system production.
[0035] Methods to Reduce the Failure Rate of Cone Valves
[0036] There are several main reasons for the leakage failure of the cone valve unit. First, the cone valve is normally worn due to long-term scouring by ore pulp during normal operation; second, the particle size of the transported ore pulp is large, and there are large and hard particles mixed in the ore pulp, causing abnormal damage to the sealing surface during the operation of the cone valve, resulting in failure; third, the machining accuracy of the cone surface of the cone valve unit is insufficient, and the tightness is low; fourth, the hardness, strength, and plasticity of the material of the cone valve unit are insufficient, and the wear resistance of the cone valve is low, resulting in a high failure frequency.
[0037] Improvement methods: First, reduce the working load of a single diaphragm pump 1. During normal production, change the working mode of two in use and one standby to three working simultaneously. After the total load is evenly distributed, the number of times the valve cone opens and closes per unit time becomes less, which can effectively extend the working time of the cone valve; Second, replace periodically. Through long-term operation data analysis and experience accumulation, summarize the normal working cycle of the cone valve, and the maintenance personnel replace the cone valve regularly according to the normal working cycle; Third, reduce the particle size of the ore pulp and prevent abnormal large particles. A sieve plate with a size of less than 1 mm can be used for screening. The particle size of the transported ore pulp becomes smaller, reducing the normal wear of the cone valve. At the same time, the conveying line is fully enclosed to prevent abnormal large particles from mixing into the ore pulp, reducing the probability of abnormal wear of the cone valve; Fourth, improve the wear resistance of the cone valve material. Through research on materials, improve the wear resistance of the rubber sealing ring and metal cone surface of the cone valve, increase the strength from the process material, extend the normal working time of the cone valve, and reduce the failure rate.
[0038] Conclusion
[0039] The technical development and application of the conical valve fault monitoring system for diaphragm pump 1 aims to detect and accurately judge the initial leakage stage of the conical valve of diaphragm pump 1 in a timely manner, enabling early warning, timely maintenance and replacement, improving the operation stability and safety of diaphragm pump 1, and avoiding equipment accidents such as slurry piercing the valve box due to conical valve wear. At the same time, it further deepens the degree of equipment automation monitoring, reduces the workload of manual inspection, realizes unattended operation, improves production efficiency and reduces production costs in the long run, bringing good economic benefits to the owner in the future. In the tailings conveying system of Xichang Mining of Chongqing Iron and Steel, through the development and application of the conical valve fault monitoring system technology for diaphragm pump 1, the problem of accurately judging the conical valve fault during system operation has been successfully solved, and the fault has been eliminated in a timely manner. At present, the system operates very stably after transformation, and there is no longer the phenomenon of the valve box being pierced due to conical valve wear. The reliability and stability of the application of the conical valve fault monitoring system technology for diaphragm pump 1 are worthy of popularization and application in other domestic diaphragm pump 1 conveying systems.
