Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a rectifier device of a generator excitation system, in particular to a dual-fan main and standby automatic selection device for the rectifier device. Background Art
[0002] The rectifier is an important component of the synchronous generator excitation system, and the cooling fan is a key component of the device. Its main function is to maintain the appropriate temperature of the rectifier during long-term operation, thereby preventing the rectifier from overheating and causing performance degradation or damage.
[0003] To control the temperature of rectifiers, current rectifiers all use a dual-fan design with a primary and backup fan. This design primarily utilizes a cold standby configuration. When the rectifier is operating normally, the primary fan operates while the backup fan does not. If the primary fan fails or the temperature is too high, the backup fan automatically switches to operation. However, prolonged operation of the primary fan can lead to excessive noise, high temperatures, and excessive energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The technical solution of this patent is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0015] according to Figure 1 As shown, the dual-fan main-standby automatic selection device for the rectifier device is composed of an analog input module 1, a digital input module 2, a controller 3 and a digital output module 4.
[0016] The analog input module 1 and the digital input module 2 are respectively connected to the input terminals of the controller 3 , and the output terminal of the controller 3 is connected to the digital output module 4 .
[0017] The analog input module 1 of the rectifier's dual-fan automatic primary / standby selection device collects operating parameters such as fan temperature, pressure, speed, and current. The digital input module 2 collects information about the fan's start / stop and fault status. Analog input module 1 and digital input module 2 transmit this information to controller 3, which combines this information with its own records of the fan's primary / standby status during shutdowns and the fan's operating duration. Controller 3 then conducts a comprehensive analysis, selects the optimal control strategy, and sends instructions to digital output module 4 to control the start, stop, and switching of the rectifier panel's dual fans.
[0018] This utility model is a dual-fan automatic selection device for a rectifier. This device features a simple structure and strong practicality. It automatically monitors the operating status of the primary and backup fans, automatically selects the primary and backup fans, and automatically switches between them. This eliminates the need for human intervention and reduces the uncertainty of manual operation. Data analysis can identify potential fan faults, allowing appropriate measures to prevent further failures. The intelligent control strategy improves the operating efficiency of the rectifier and extends the fan's service life. It can be applied to rectifiers in all generator static excitation systems.
