Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a control system, in particular to a contactless electronic switch control system for a crane. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of metallurgical crane is mainly realized by electrically controlling the special motor for metallurgical lifting. The advantage is that it can give full play to the advantages of the special motor for metallurgical lifting (strong load-bearing capacity and reliable operation). Since the 1970s, my country's unified design of general-purpose gantry crane electronic control equipment is the XQR series. Since then, some improvements have been made, including the addition of air circuit breakers, the increase of phase-changing contactors in the operating mechanism, and the use of CJ20 series contactors. At the same time, it is also considered to add a coasting gear, the current starting principle, and the addition of a rotor contactor welding inspection link. However, the entire system has not deviated from the original overall design concept, and the product performance has not changed essentially. In addition, the number of electrical components has increased, the failure rate has also increased significantly, and maintenance is difficult. Subsequently, stator voltage regulation and speed control and variable frequency speed control were developed. These two speed control methods only improve the control accuracy, but have limitations and require the replacement of variable frequency motors. The working conditions of the variable frequency drive are relatively harsh and are not suitable for working in the harsh environment of the metallurgical industry. The failure rate is higher and it is not easy for front-line workers to repair. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Figure 3 This is the layout diagram of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The main circuit of the motor for metallurgical hoisting is replaced by an electronic thyristor contactless switch, controlled by a control module, achieving electronic contactless control. This avoids mechanical contact failure, arc burnout, contact sticking, or adhesion. The drive electromagnetic coil without mechanical contacts avoids the possibility of accidents caused by coil burnout and reduces energy waste caused by long-term coil power supply, resulting in faster response and improved control accuracy for the entire system.

[0020] As shown in the figure, the utility model is a contactless electronic switch control system for a crane, which is composed of a thyristor electronic thyristor contactless switch, a trigger control, a three-phase AC motor, a motor protector and a master command setting.

[0021] The entire vehicle has no contacts and can withstand environments with high temperature, large vibration, high dust and high water vapor; it has large starting torque and automatically captures the maximum torque output during startup; and its price is much lower than that of frequency conversion devices.

[0022] The control is safe. The control circuit is an electronic trigger circuit, all of which are low-voltage weak electricity (24V or 5V), which is lower than the safety voltage, ensuring the safety of operators.

[0023] The equipment has high protection. Each link of the entire system is completed by the program set in the module, achieving linear acceleration. It avoids excessive impact caused by driver operating habits or mistakes, protects the smooth operation of the motor, and also eliminates impact on the mechanical transmission mechanism, extending the service life of the machine.

[0024] The operation is simple, which reduces the driver's fatigue, improves the working efficiency and ensures safe operation. The operation method is completely consistent and the driver does not need special training. Even if irregular operation occurs during the operation, the module will still implement the optimal control principle to avoid accidents.

[0025] Significant energy saving: Metallurgical cranes are the main production equipment in the metallurgical industry. They are high-duty and have a power-on continuity rate of more than 60%. Considering medium-sized cranes, one crane can save about RMB 120,000 in spare parts costs and 70KWH of power throughout the year.

[0026] It is convenient for equipment management. The trigger control module unit can automatically record equipment operation data, which is convenient for equipment management and can be connected to the intelligent management of the user unit.

[0027] Working process of this utility model:

[0028] The main circuit, the three-phase power supply is connected to the circuit breaker, motor protector, fast fuse and electronic thyristor contactless switch in sequence, through the circuit breaker (set in the main control circuit position for main circuit isolation), motor protector, fast fuse (set in the main circuit position for short-circuit protection), thyristor contactless switch to the stator and rotor of the three-phase AC motor (used to control the operation of the crane), forming a contactless main circuit. The stopping, running and speed regulation of the three-phase AC motor are all completed by the thyristor contactless switch.

[0029] The thyristor contactless switch uses anti-parallel thyristors to replace the switching function of mechanical contacts. It is installed on an electronic heat sink to ensure that the thyristor contactless switch operates within a certain temperature range. The motor protector is located in the main circuit to monitor the motor's operating status and is also connected to the trigger control module's signal. During operation, the collected current signal triggers the control module, achieving closed-loop control.

[0030] Control circuit, the main command given signal is sent to the trigger control module, the trigger control module triggers the electronic thyristor contactless switch, and the thyristor contactless switch controls the stator and rotor of the motor after being triggered;

[0031] The trigger control module determines the brake control according to the set program to achieve zero-speed mechanical braking.

[0032] The electronic trigger control circuit is used without mechanical action, which speeds up the response speed of the control system and realizes closed-loop control.

[0033] The rotor speed is controlled by connecting two groups of thyristors in series and then connecting a small number of softening resistors. The rotor current is changed by triggering the conduction angle of the thyristors, which greatly simplifies the circuit. At the same time, only the softening resistors are retained, and the number of resistors is also greatly reduced.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
