DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. These descriptions are only to further illustrate the features and advantages of the present invention, rather than to limit the claims of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0027] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] An electrical system for analyzing and controlling the online water content of tar, such as Figure 1As shown, disconnector Q1 serves as the main switch for the entire system, connecting and disconnecting the power supply to the entire user power supply system YH. When system maintenance or overhaul is required, disconnector Q1 can be operated to disconnect the power supply, ensuring system safety. Disconnector Q1 is electrically connected to the first circuit breaker F1, the second circuit breaker F2, and the third circuit breaker F3. The primary function of circuit breakers is to protect circuits and prevent damage to equipment caused by short circuits and overloads. When a short circuit or overload occurs in a circuit, the circuit breakers automatically trip, cutting off power, thereby protecting the circuit and equipment. The first circuit breaker F1 is electrically connected to the normally open contacts of the first three-phase AC contactor KM1, and the second circuit breaker F2 is electrically connected to the normally open contacts of the second three-phase AC contactor KM2. The contactors control the starting and stopping of the motor. When the contactor coil is energized, its normally open contacts close, starting the motor; when the coil is de-energized, the normally open contacts open, stopping the motor. The normally open contact of the first three-phase AC contactor KM1 is electrically connected to the coil of the first overload relay FR1, while the normally open contact of the second three-phase AC contactor KM2 is electrically connected to the coil of the second overload relay FR2. The first and second overload relays FR1 and FR2 monitor the motor temperature. When the motor temperature exceeds a set value, the overload relays cut off the power supply to the motor to prevent damage from overheating. The coil of the first overload relay FR1 is electrically connected to the first pump P1, which is also electrically connected to the first electric control valve XF1 via the fourth circuit breaker F4. The coil of the second overload relay FR2 is electrically connected to the second pump P2, which is also electrically connected to the second electric control valve XF2 via the fifth circuit breaker F5. When the overload relays detect that the motor temperature is too high, they cut off the power supply to the pumps, stopping their operation. The first and second electric control valves XF1 and XF2 regulate the fluid flow to ensure normal system operation.
[0030] Further, if Figure 2As shown, ensure that the isolation switch Q1 is closed to allow current to flow. Connect the sixth circuit breaker F6 to the isolation switch Q1. Then, connect the programming power supply XS1 to the sixth circuit breaker F6. The programming power supply XS1 generally needs to provide appropriate voltage and current to support PLC operation. Connect the seventh circuit breaker F7 to the isolation switch Q1. Then, connect the DIN rail power supply V1 to the seventh circuit breaker F7. The DIN rail power supply V1 is responsible for providing power to the PLC power supply L, the smart IoT touch screen U1, and the industrial network switch U2. Connect the PLC power supply L to the DIN rail power supply V1. The PLC power supply L must ensure stable AC or DC power to support the normal operation of the PLC base unit and expansion units. Connect the smart IoT touch screen U1 to the DIN rail power supply V1. The touch screen requires a stable power supply to maintain continuous and reliable operation. Connect the industrial network switch U2 to the DIN rail power supply V1. Ensure that an appropriate power adapter is used and that the cable connections are secure and reliable.
[0031] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, the isolating switch Q1 is electrically connected to the first indicator light H1, the normally open contact of the first intermediate relay K1, and the normally open contact of the second intermediate relay K2. When the isolating switch Q1 is closed, the first indicator light H1, the normally open contact of the first intermediate relay K1, and the normally open contact of the second intermediate relay K2 all receive power. The normally open contact of the first intermediate relay K1 is electrically connected to the normally closed contact of the first overheating relay FR1. The normally closed contact of the first overheating relay FR1 opens when the normally open contact of the first intermediate relay K1 closes, and vice versa. The normally closed contact of the first overheating relay FR1 is electrically connected to the coil of the first three-phase AC contactor KM1 and the second indicator light H2. When the normally closed contact of the first overheating relay FR1 opens, the coil of the first three-phase AC contactor KM1 and the second indicator light H2 receive power. The normally open contact of the second intermediate relay K2 is electrically connected to the normally closed contact of the second overheating relay FR2. This indicates that the normally closed contacts of the second overload relay FR2 open when the normally open contacts of the second intermediate relay K2 close, and vice versa. The normally closed contacts of the second overload relay FR2 are electrically connected to the coil of the second three-phase AC contactor KM2 and the third indicator light H3. When the normally closed contacts of the second overload relay FR2 open, the coil of the second three-phase AC contactor KM2 and the third indicator light H3 receive power.
[0032] Further, if Figure 3-6As shown, the first PLC control unit A1 is equipped with a communication bus plug DP1, which enables the PLC to communicate with other PLCs via a DP / DP coupler. The first PLC control unit A1 is electrically connected to the discharge control box CP1. The PLC can control the operation of the discharge control box through its output port, thereby achieving automated control of the tar discharge process. The first PLC control unit A1 is electrically connected to the third circuit breaker F3. As a circuit protection device, the circuit breaker's closed or open state can be controlled by the PLC to ensure safe circuit operation. The first PLC control unit A1 is electrically connected to the coils of the first intermediate relay K1 and the second intermediate relay K2, respectively. Intermediate relays have high electrical insulation properties, effectively protecting circuits and improving electrical safety. By controlling the coils of these relays, the PLC can start and stop related equipment. The first PLC control unit A1 is also electrically connected to a fourth indicator light H4. Indicator lights are typically used to display the operating status or alarm information of equipment. By controlling the on and off of the indicator lights by the PLC, the operating status of the equipment can be intuitively understood.
[0033] Further, if Figure 7As shown, the first signal isolator B1, the second signal isolator B2, the third signal isolator B3, and the fourth signal isolator B4 each receive signals from different devices and transmit them to the second PLC control unit A2. A PLC power supply L provides a stable power supply for all signal isolators. According to conventional PLC power supply wiring practices, the PLC input is typically connected to an AC 220V power supply, while the output is connected to a DC 24V power supply. In this embodiment, the POWER pins of all signal isolators are connected to the PLC power supply L to ensure proper operation. The IN pin of the first signal isolator B1 is electrically connected to the first electric control valve XF1. The second PLC control unit A2 can adjust the opening and closing state of the first electric control valve XF1 by controlling the first signal isolator B1. The IN pin of the second signal isolator B2 is electrically connected to the second electric control valve XF2. The second PLC control unit A2 adjusts the opening and closing state of the second electric control valve XF2 by controlling the second signal isolator B2. The IN pin of the third signal isolator B3 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic flowmeter E. The electromagnetic flowmeter E operates based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. When a conductive medium passes through a magnetic field, an induced voltage is generated, which is proportional to the speed of the medium. The second PLC control unit A2 obtains the flow data measured by the electromagnetic flowmeter E by controlling the third signal isolator B3. The IN pin of the fourth signal isolator B4 is electrically connected to the moisture analyzer W. The moisture analyzer W is used to measure the moisture content in tar, and its signal is transmitted to the second PLC control unit A2 through the fourth signal isolator B4. The second PLC control unit A2 adjusts the operating state of the system by controlling the first electric control valve XF1 and the second electric control valve XF2 based on the received signals (such as flow data and moisture content data) to achieve the expected process requirements.
[0034] Further, if Figure 8As shown, the third PLC control unit A3 is electrically connected to the IN pins of the fifth signal isolator B5 and the sixth signal isolator B6. This connection ensures that the PLC can receive input signals from both signal isolators. The POWER pins of the fifth and sixth signal isolators B5 and B6 are both electrically connected to the PLC power supply L, ensuring proper power supply and proper operation of the signal isolators. The OUT pin of the fifth signal isolator B5 is electrically connected to the first electric control valve XF1, while the OUT pin of the sixth signal isolator B6 is electrically connected to the second electric control valve XF2. The electric control valves use electric actuators to drive the valve core, thereby changing the valve opening and automatically adjusting parameters such as the flow rate and pressure of the fluid medium in the pipeline. The function of the signal isolator is to isolate, filter, amplify, convert, and distribute the input signal before outputting it to other instruments or systems, thereby improving the signal's resistance to electromagnetic interference and protecting equipment from damage caused by high voltage or high current. The third PLC control unit A3 receives and processes signals from the field through the fifth signal isolator B5 and the sixth signal isolator B6, and then transmits the processed signals to the first electric regulating valve XF1 and the second electric regulating valve XF2 through the signal isolators. These two electric regulating valves automatically adjust the flow and pressure of the fluid medium according to the received signals, thereby achieving precise control of the fluid medium in the tar water content online analyzer.
[0035] The above only describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in this field, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention, and various changes should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
