Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ozone generator technology, and in particular to an online monitoring system for an ozone generating chamber. Background Technology

[0002] An ozone generating chamber, the core device of an ozone generator, typically consists of one or more ozone generating units. Each ozone generating unit is a basic component for ozone production. Currently, most industrial ozone generators utilize glass, enamel, or ceramic as the discharge medium. The device includes a high-voltage electrode, a grounding electrode, and a glass dielectric tube between the two electrodes. The gap between the grounding electrode and the dielectric tube is the main area for ozone generation, acting as a guide for airflow and optimizing the ozone generation process. Simultaneously, the gap between the dielectric tube and the high-voltage electrode serves for cooling and auxiliary discharge, providing throttling and airflow swirling effects. Multiple such ozone generating units are connected in parallel to form an ozone generating chamber.

[0003] However, existing ozone generators face numerous safety hazards during actual operation. First, the glass tube medium, a crucial component of the ozone generation unit, is relatively fragile and easily broken. In practical applications, it is susceptible to breakage if subjected to severe vibrations, external impacts during operation, unstable installation environments, or significant temperature differences. A ruptured glass tube medium can trigger a high-voltage short-circuit discharge accident, severely damaging the ozone generator itself and potentially endangering surrounding equipment and personnel. Secondly, the loosening of the internal electrode fastening bolts and connecting plates is another significant issue. During long-term operation, these bolts and connecting plates may loosen due to various reasons. This localized loose connection can lead to discharge and heat generation, potentially causing serious consequences such as burnout over time.

[0004] In view of the above safety hazards, there is a need for a dedicated online monitoring device for ozone generators. This device can monitor the operational status of the ozone generator in real time, including the integrity of the glass tube medium and the stability of the electrode connections. By promptly detecting potential safety hazards, the safe operation of the equipment can be effectively protected, ensuring the stable functioning of the ozone generator. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An online monitoring system for an ozone generating chamber 2 according to this embodiment includes:

[0035] An ozone generating chamber 2 is fitted with multiple ozone generating units 1. Each ozone generating unit 1 includes a dielectric tube 201, an external electrode 203 grounded outside the dielectric tube 201, an internal electrode 202 embedded inside the dielectric tube 201, an ozone generating interlayer 204 between the dielectric tube 201 and the external electrode 203, and cooling water 205 surrounding the external electrode 203.

[0036] Where A represents a local part of ozone generating unit 1;

[0037] The monitoring system control board 8 includes a processing unit 801 and a display 802 electrically connected to the processing unit 801.

[0038] Multiple branch switches 3 are installed inside the ozone generating chamber 2;

[0039] The power monitor 5 is electrically connected to the processing unit 801 and the internal electrode 202 via a branch switch 3.

[0040] The detection module 6 is located at the end of the interlayer 204 and is connected to the processing unit 801 via wireless power line carrier.

[0041] The humidity control module is wired to the processing unit 801 via a wired power line carrier.

[0042] Processing Unit 801 TMS320F2837xD Series Digital Signal Controller.

[0043] The power monitor 5 monitors the power consumption of the ozone generating unit 1 in real time. It uses a Hall effect power sensor ACS712 to accurately measure power data and transmit this data to the processing unit 801 for analysis and processing. If power fluctuations are too large or energy consumption is too high, the processor can control the shutdown of some ozone regeneration units.

[0044] The ozone generating chamber 2 is equipped with a main switch 4, which is connected to multiple branch switches 3 via electrical circuits and interlocking switches.

[0045] The main switch 4 uses a high-capacity circuit breaker, Schneider Electric's Compact NSX series circuit breaker. The interlocking switch uses an electrical interlocking method to ensure that when the main switch 4 is opened, multiple branch switches 3 can also be automatically opened, realizing power control of the entire ozone generating chamber 2.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 The ozone generating chamber 2 is equipped with a visual sensor 11 that monitors multiple ozone generating units 1. The visual sensor 11 is wirelessly connected to the processing unit 801 via a wireless power line carrier.

[0047] The visual sensor 11 employs a dual-light zoom miniature camera for off-site flame detection, specifically a Hikvision DS-2TD2617B-10 / PA. It features high-resolution image acquisition, dual-light (visible and infrared) detection, and zoom capabilities, making it suitable for real-time monitoring of equipment operation. It can capture real-time images of the ozone generator unit 1's operating status and transmit the image data to the processing unit 801. Through image analysis, it can promptly detect problems such as equipment discharge.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 The detection module 6 includes a temperature sensor 601 and a light intensity sensor 602, which are respectively connected to the processing unit 801 via wireless power line carrier. The temperature sensor 601 is used to detect the temperature inside an ozone generating unit 1 and transmits the detected data to the processing unit 801 for judgment. When the temperature exceeds a set temperature threshold, the branch switch 3 installed in the ozone generating unit 1 is disconnected. The light intensity sensor 602 is used to detect the light intensity inside an ozone generating unit 1 and transmits the detected data to the processing unit 801 for judgment. When the light intensity exceeds a set light intensity threshold, the branch switch 3 installed in the ozone generating unit 1 is disconnected.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 The temperature sensor 601 uses an NTC thermistor, which can accurately measure temperature changes and transmit the data to the processing unit 801 in real time. When the temperature exceeds the set temperature threshold, the processing unit 801 will immediately determine this and issue a command to disconnect the corresponding branch switch 3 to prevent damage to the equipment due to overheating. The light intensity sensor 602 uses a BPW34S photodiode, which can sensitively detect changes in light intensity. When the light intensity exceeds the set light intensity threshold, the processing unit 801 will also determine this and control the branch switch 3 to disconnect to prevent safety issues caused by abnormal light intensity due to circuit discharge faults.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 The humidity control module includes a humidity sensor 901 installed in the ozone generation chamber 2 and a dehumidifier installed at the air inlet of the ozone generator. The humidity sensor 901 and the dehumidifier are respectively connected to the processor. The humidity sensor 901 is used to detect air humidity information and transmit the detected data to the processing unit 801 for judgment. When the humidity exceeds the set humidity threshold, the processor sends a start signal to the dehumidifier.

[0051] The humidity sensor 901 uses the HIH-4000 series humidity sensor 901, which can detect air humidity information. Because air humidity affects the efficiency of ozone generator in producing ozone, and moisture can also combine with ozone and corrode the components of ozone generator, it is necessary to detect air humidity and start the dehumidifier according to the set threshold to ensure that ozone generation chamber 2 operates in a suitable air environment.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 The ozone generating chamber 2 is equipped with a positioning module 10, which is connected to the processor wireless network and is used to locate the ozone generating chamber 2 in real time.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 The processor is also connected to a memory 804, which is used to store and back up the information detected by the detection module 6 and the power information monitored by the power monitor 5.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 An alarm module 7 is installed on the outer wall of the ozone generating chamber 2 to issue alarm information. The alarm module 7 includes a buzzer 701 and an indicator light 702.

[0055] When the system detects an anomaly, buzzer 701 will sound an alarm, and indicator light 702 will illuminate to remind relevant personnel to take timely measures. Simultaneously, alarm module 7 can also connect to a remote monitoring system to send alarm information to the mobile phones or computers of management personnel in real time.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 The monitoring system control board 8 includes a communication unit 803, which is used to transmit information from the vision sensor 11 and power monitoring information to the cloud platform 12, which is connected to an external device 13.

[0057] The communication unit 803 is a narrowband Internet of Things module.

[0058] The communication unit 803 can employ an NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) module. The NB-IoT module can transmit image information collected by the visual sensor 11 and power information monitored by the power monitor 5 to the cloud platform 12 in real time. The cloud platform 12 can store, analyze, and process this data, and simultaneously share the data with external devices 13 connected to the cloud platform 12, such as mobile phones, tablets, or computers. The NB-IoT module also supports remote control functionality. Users can send commands to the cloud platform 12 via the external device 13, and the cloud platform 12 will then relay these commands to the monitoring system control board 8, enabling remote control of the ozone generator chamber 2, such as starting or stopping the ozone generator unit 1, adjusting the humidity control module, etc.

[0059] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
