Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pneumatic control, and in particular relates to a control system for high-frequency switching valves of a polypropylene device. Background Art

[0002] Air-controlled valves operating under PDS conditions must not only withstand high-frequency, rapid actuation but also maintain a durable seal. Furthermore, the medium may contain solid particles such as powder, forcing the valves to withstand wear and sticking. Due to the critical installation location and demanding operating conditions, this type of valve has been dominated by imported brands such as ARGUS, KTM, and METSO. Depending on the PDS operating conditions, the valve's annual actuation frequency can range from 1 to 2 million times. Valve lifespan and sealing performance are crucial indicators of valve performance.

[0003] However, due to actuator limitations, domestic PDS valves cannot meet the annual operation frequency requirement of 1 million times, and the design life of the spring return cylinder cannot meet the requirement of 2 years of trouble-free operation of the polypropylene device.

[0022] Furthermore, the control system also includes a control center, and the pneumatic actuator is electrically connected to the control center.

The pneumatic actuator is a double-acting pneumatic actuator, which includes a cavity air inlet and two piston air inlets; the first air-controlled valve is a two-position five-way air-controlled valve, which includes a first air inlet, a first control port, a first air outlet, a second air outlet, a first exhaust port and a second exhaust port; the second air-controlled valve is a two-position three-way air-controlled valve, which includes a second air inlet, a second control port, a third air outlet and a third exhaust port; the third air-controlled valve is a two-position three-way air-controlled valve, which includes a third air inlet, a third control port, a fourth air outlet and a fourth exhaust port.

[0033] The air inlet end of the first pressure reducing valve is connected to the air source pipeline 9, which is used to provide an air source as power; the air outlet end of the first pressure reducing valve is connected to the first air inlet port and the locking valve of the first air-controlled valve through an air pipe, and a branch air pipe is provided on the air source pipeline to connect to the locking valve. The solenoid valve is connected to the first control port of the first air-controlled valve through the air pipe. A branch air pipe is provided on the air pipe connecting the first pressure reducing valve and the locking valve to connect to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is connected to an external circuit to control the switch of the solenoid valve.

[0034] The first air outlet of the first air-controlled valve is connected to the second air inlet of the second air-controlled valve through an air pipe, and the second air outlet is connected to the third air inlet of the third air-controlled valve through an air pipe.

[0035] The second control port of the second air-controlled valve is connected to the locking valve through an air pipe, and the third control port of the third air-controlled valve is connected to the locking valve through an air pipe.

[0036] The third air outlet of the second air control valve is connected to the two piston air inlets of the pneumatic actuator through air pipes respectively, and the fourth air outlet of the third air control valve is connected to the cavity air inlet of the pneumatic actuator through air pipes.

[0037] The one-way valve is connected to the gas source pipeline, the one-way valve is connected to the gas storage tank through the gas pipe, the gas storage tank is connected to the gas inlet end of the second pressure reducing valve through the gas pipe, and the gas outlet end of the second pressure reducing valve is connected to the second gas control valve through the gas pipe.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pneumatic actuator adopts a C-type aluminum alloy actuator produced by Wuxi Shenghans Pneumatic Valve Actuator Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model:

[0043] The instrument air source provided by the factory enters from the gas source pipeline and is divided into two paths, one path enters the main gas line, and the other path enters the one-way valve and then enters the gas tank for gas storage; the gas entering the main gas line is divided into two paths after passing through the first pressure reducing valve, one path goes to the locking valve, which is used to switch the second and third gas control valves when the gas source loses gas, and the other path goes to the first gas control valve.

[0044] When the solenoid valve is energized, the first air-controlled valve switches the air path so that the gas flows to the third air-controlled valve, and the pneumatic actuator opens the control valve; when the solenoid valve loses power, the first air-controlled valve does not switch the air path, the gas flows to the second air-controlled valve, and the pneumatic actuator closes the control valve.

[0045] When the gas source fails, the main gas circuit has no driving gas source. Due to the presence of the locking valve, the first gas control valve does not switch the gas circuit and returns to the fault position. Due to the presence of the one-way valve, the gas tank passes the gas into the second gas control valve, closing the control valve.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the present embodiment is intended only to illustrate the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the contents of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of this application.
