[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] A linkage control circuit for electrically operated air intake and exhaust louvers in a diesel generator set, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, including,

[0032] Electric actuator 1;

[0033] Control mechanism 2 is connected to electric actuator 1;

[0034] Turn on relay K1. The first common terminal of the turn on relay K1 is connected to the first control interface C1 of electric actuator 1. The second common terminal of the turn on relay K1 is connected to the second control interface C2 of electric actuator 1. The first normally open contact and the second normally open contact of the turn on relay K1 are connected to the louver drive circuit.

[0035] The first normally open contact of the closing relay K2 is connected between the first normally closed contact of the opening relay K1 and the louver drive circuit, and the second normally open contact of the closing relay K2 is connected between the second normally closed contact of the opening relay K1 and the louver drive circuit.

[0036] Specifically, this utility model provides a linkage control circuit for an electric intake and exhaust louver of a diesel generator set, which enables the electric actuator 1 on the louver to be effectively linked with the generator set control mechanism 2, so as to achieve the effect of opening the louver when the generator set starts and closing the louver when it stops, thus extending its service life.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the first shut-off feedback interface CF1 and the second shut-off feedback interface CF2 of the electric actuator 1 are connected to the control mechanism 2;

[0038] The first opening feedback interface OF1 and the second opening feedback interface OF2 of the electric actuator 1 are connected to the control mechanism 2.

[0039] Specifically, the first closed feedback interface CF1 and the second closed feedback interface CF2 transmit the open status feedback signal to the control mechanism 2, and the first open feedback interface OF1 and the second open feedback interface OF2 transmit the closed status feedback signal to the control mechanism 2.

[0040] During the opening process, the position sensors on the louver slats detect the rotation angle of the louver slats and convert it into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is transmitted to the control mechanism 2 through the opening feedback interfaces OF1 and OF2.

[0041] Similarly, during the shutdown process, the information monitored by the sensors is transmitted through the shutdown feedback interfaces CF1 and CF2. The control mechanism 2 contains a signal receiving and processing unit, which can decode and analyze the feedback signals to obtain the status information of the electric actuator 1.

[0042] The control mechanism 1 adopts a closed-loop control strategy, which compares the received feedback signal with the preset target state.

[0043] Taking the opening process as an example, the preset target state might be that the blinds are fully open (reaching an opening angle of 90 degrees). After the control mechanism 2 issues an opening command, it continuously receives feedback signals from OF1 and OF2, comparing the actual opening angle of the blinds with the target angle. If the actual angle is less than the target angle, the control mechanism 2 will continue to maintain the working state of the opening relay K1 until the feedback signal indicates that the blinds have reached the target opening state.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, it further includes,

[0045] Power supply 3 is connected to the louver drive circuit.

[0046] Specifically, a dedicated power supply 3 is provided for the louver drive circuit, which ensures that the drive circuit receives stable power.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, it further includes,

[0048] Circuit breaker QL, the first end of circuit breaker QL is connected to power supply 3, and the second end of circuit breaker QL is connected to the first normally open contact of closing relay K2.

[0049] Specifically, the circuit breaker QL can automatically disconnect the circuit when an overload or short circuit occurs. When excessive current occurs in the louver drive circuit, the circuit breaker QL will quickly trip and disconnect the circuit.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the electric actuator 1 includes,

[0051] Air intake actuator 11 is connected to control mechanism 2;

[0052] Exhaust actuator 12 is connected to control mechanism 2;

[0053] The air intake actuator 11 and the air exhaust actuator 12 are both manual and automatic, which facilitates maintenance when the electric actuator 1 fails.

[0054] The air intake actuator 11 is connected to the electric air intake louver 5 located on the air intake side of the diesel generator set 4;

[0055] The exhaust actuator 12 is connected to the electric exhaust louver 6 located on the exhaust side of the diesel generator set 4;

[0056] The control mechanism 2 is equipped with an audible and visual alarm for reminders and warnings.

[0057] Specifically, when the unit starts, the control mechanism 2 sends an opening command to the electric actuator 1, with a delay of about 5 seconds (this time is adjustable). After the electric louver window is opened to the appropriate angle, that is, after the electric air inlet louver 5 is successfully opened, the opening status feedback signal is transmitted to the control mechanism 2. After confirming that the opening signal is valid, the start command is executed in the next stage. If the electric actuator 1 fails and the opening fails, the audible and visual alarm in the control mechanism 2 will report "louver opening failure", reminding and warning the operation and maintenance personnel that the electric louver needs to be opened manually.

[0058] When the unit stops, control mechanism 2 issues a stop command. After the unit stops and stabilizes after a delay, a shut-off command is issued. The shut-off command delay is 5 seconds (this time is adjustable). After the electric air inlet louvers 5 close to the appropriate angle, that is, after the electric air inlet louvers 5 are successfully closed, the shut-off status feedback signal is transmitted to control mechanism 2. After confirming that the opening signal is valid, the control system returns to standby mode. If the electric actuator 1 malfunctions and the shut-off fails, the audible and visual alarm of control mechanism 2 will report "louver shut-off failure", reminding and warning the operation and maintenance personnel that the electric louvers need to be manually closed.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the air intake actuator 11 and the control mechanism 2 are connected by a linkage control line;

[0060] The exhaust actuator 12 is connected to the control mechanism 2 via a linkage control line.

[0061] Specifically, the air intake actuator 11 and the exhaust actuator 12 are connected to the control mechanism 2 via a linkage control line. The control mechanism 2 can send precise control signals to the air intake actuator 11 and the exhaust actuator 12 based on factors such as the operating status of the diesel generator set 4 and environmental conditions. The signals are transmitted along the linkage control line, accurately directing the actions of the air intake actuator 11 and the exhaust actuator 12.

[0062] For example, when the diesel generator set 4 starts, a large amount of fresh air needs to enter, while exhaust gas produced by combustion is discharged. The control mechanism 2 can send an opening signal to the air intake actuator 11 through the linkage control line to increase the air intake volume, and send an opening signal to the exhaust actuator 12 to speed up the exhaust speed, so that the air intake and exhaust processes are coordinated.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
