Abstract
Description

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of detection, and particularly relates to an automatic switching device for a standby frequency converter. Background Technique
[0002] With the increasing popularity of automated production, the requirements for production continuity are also getting higher and higher.

[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] As Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides an automatic switching device for a standby frequency converter. As Figure 1 shown, the device includes: a first trolley switch QF1, a second trolley switch QF2 and a third trolley switch QF3;
[0033] A first high-voltage power supply 6 is connected to the main frequency converter 1 through the first trolley switch QF1. The main frequency converter 1 is connected to the first motor 4 through the first contactor KM1 and the first switch QS1; the main frequency converter 1 is also grounded through the first live display DXN1.
[0034] The first high-voltage power supply 6 is also connected to the standby frequency converter 2 through the third trolley switch QF3; the standby frequency converter 2 is connected to the first motor 4 through the third switch QS3 and the third contactor KM3; the standby frequency converter 2 is connected to the second motor 5 through the fourth switch QS4 and the fourth contactor KM4; the standby frequency converter 2 is grounded through the fifth live display DXN5; the standby frequency converter 2 is connected to the first mutual inductor PT1 and the second mutual inductor PT2 through the first fuse FU1, the second fuse FU2 and the third fuse FU3.
[0035] A second high-voltage power supply 7 is connected to the secondary frequency converter 3 through the second trolley switch QF2. The secondary frequency converter 3 is connected to the second motor 5 through the contactor KM2 and the second switch QS2; the secondary frequency converter 3 is also grounded through the second live display DXN2.
[0036] It is grounded through the third live display DXN3 between the third contactor KM3 and the third switch QS3.
[0037] It is also grounded through the fourth live display DXN4 between the fourth contactor KM4 and the fourth switch QS4.
[0038] Among them, the first contactor KM1, the second contactor KM2, the third contactor KM3, and the fourth contactor KM4 are all vacuum contactors. The main frequency converter 1, the secondary frequency converter 3, and the standby frequency converter 2 all adopt IGBT intelligent drive frequency converters. The first switch QS1, the second switch QS2, the third switch QS3, and the fourth switch QS4 are single-pole double-throw knife switches.
[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 3 shown, the device further includes a control module 8, and the control module 8 is connected to the first contactor KM1, the second contactor KM2, the third contactor KM3, the fourth contactor KM4, the standby frequency converter 2, the main frequency converter 1, the secondary frequency converter 3, the first trolley switch QF1, the second trolley switch QF2, and the third trolley switch QF3.
[0040] In this embodiment, where:
[0041] The first contactor KM1 and the third contactor KM3 are interlocked, that is, after the first contactor KM1 is closed, the third contactor KM3 cannot be closed; after the third contactor KM3 is closed, KM1 cannot be closed.
[0042] The second contactor KM2 and the fourth contactor KM4 are interlocked, that is, after the second contactor KM2 is closed, the fourth contactor KM4 cannot be closed; after the fourth contactor KM4 is closed, the second contactor KM2 cannot be closed.
[0043] The third contactor KM3 and the fourth contactor KM4 are interlocked, that is, after the third contactor KM3 is closed, the fourth contactor KM4 cannot be closed; after the fourth contactor KM4 is closed, the third contactor KM3 cannot be closed.
[0044] In this embodiment, the automatic switching performs the following steps:
[0045] If the main frequency converter fails (for example, when the DCS detects that the frequency of the main frequency converter is unstable), causing the first motor to fail to operate normally, the DCS controls the first contactor KM1 to disconnect, and sends a running instruction for the first motor to the standby frequency converter, and at the same time controls the third contactor KM3 to automatically close. After the third contactor KM3 is closed, the standby frequency converter uses the coasting function (wherein, the coasting function of the frequency converter is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here again) to search for the residual voltage frequency of the first motor, and the standby frequency converter drives the first motor to operate according to the searched residual voltage frequency.
[0046] If the secondary frequency converter fails (for example, when the DCS detects that the frequency of the main frequency converter is unstable), causing the second motor to malfunction, the distributed control system (DCS) controls the second contactor KM2 to open and sends a command to run the second motor to the standby frequency converter. At the same time, it controls the fourth contactor KM3 to automatically close. After the fourth contactor KM3 closes, the standby frequency converter uses the coasting function (wherein, the coasting function of the frequency converter is well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here again) to search for the residual voltage frequency of the second motor, and the standby frequency converter drives the second motor to run by outputting the corresponding frequency according to the searched residual voltage frequency.
[0047] If the standby frequency converter needs to stop, the following operation process is executed: (for example, when the DCS detects that the operating frequency of the faulty frequency converter is normal), the DCS sends a stop command to the standby frequency converter. Based on the received stop instruction, the standby frequency converter automatically reduces the operating frequency and controls the third contactor or the fourth contactor to automatically open after detecting that the frequency of the standby frequency converter has dropped to 0 Hz, and it is in the hot standby state again.
[0048] It should be noted that, in order to achieve automatic switching in this embodiment, the standby frequency converter is always in the hot standby state. The execution steps for keeping the standby frequency converter in the hot standby state are as follows:
[0049] After determining that the third trolley switch QF3, the third contactor KM3, and the fourth contactor KM4 are in the open state, close the third switch QS3 and the fourth switch QS4, and send a charging command to the standby frequency converter through the distributed control system (DCS) to make the frequency converter start charging (wherein, the charging power supply of the frequency converter is an external low-voltage detection power supply). After the DCS detects that the frequency converter has completed charging, it controls the third trolley switch QF3 to automatically close, making the standby frequency converter in the hot standby state.
[0050] In this embodiment, by directly connecting the standby frequency converter to the high-voltage power supply, the standby frequency converter can be in the hot standby state, which helps to achieve that when the main frequency converter or the secondary frequency converter fails, there is no need to preheat the standby frequency converter. Only by automatically disconnecting the corresponding contactor, it can quickly switch to the standby frequency converter for work, avoiding unplanned shutdowns. Moreover, through automatic switching, it also helps to ensure personal safety.
[0051] In addition, by enabling the standby frequency converter to use the coasting function to search for the residual voltage frequency of the first motor, it can automatically accelerate to the previous frequency after switching, which not only helps to improve work efficiency but also further ensures against unplanned shutdowns.
