Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of remote monitoring of air compressors, and in particular relates to a system for remote monitoring and alarm control of air compressors. Background Art
[0002] Air compressors are important Class A equipment in existing railway production units, providing air sources for various workplaces to ensure the smooth completion of daily production tasks. Generally, air compressors are installed in dedicated air compressor rooms, with multiple parallel air storage cylinders installed outdoors, and timed drain valves installed at the ends of the air storage cylinders. Once an air compressor fails to operate or the air pressure from the air source is insufficient, it will not only affect the completion of production tasks, but also pose a serious safety hazard. In the existing monitoring system, manual scheduled inspections are mainly used to record the operation status of the air compressor. This solution is not only labor-intensive, but also has the disadvantage of a long inspection time interval. Therefore, a system for remote monitoring and alarm control of air compressors is proposed, which can ensure the normal operation of the air compressor in real time. Utility Model Content

The alarm interface of the zero-gas-loss automatic drainer is connected to the control box LORA remote synchronization switch 3 through a shielded cable. When the drainer has a drainage blockage failure, the alarm signal is sent to the duty room wireless alarm display terminal through the lora synchronization switch. The heating part mainly starts automatic heating when the external ambient temperature is low and ice occurs inside the zero-gas-loss automatic drainer and in the pipeline. When the heater power is not turned on and ice is about to occur, an alarm signal is sent to the duty room wireless alarm display terminal to remind the duty personnel to check the heater power supply;
