[0034] The existing air classifier control system lacks an integrated circuit structure. Each component of the air classifier needs to be monitored and operated separately. There is no effective communication and coordination mechanism between the components. Maintenance personnel need to maintain multiple systems separately, view multiple working interfaces, and cannot perform unified remote operation, resulting in low work efficiency.
[0035] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an electrical control system for an air classifier, which enables remote and unified control of all components of the air classifier and is easy to operate.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an electrical control system 100 for an air separation device. The air separation device includes a feeding conveyor, a relay roller, a circulating fan, and a discharging conveyor. Each of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor is equipped with its own signal input / output module for receiving or transmitting external commands. The electrical control system 100 includes a PLC control system 101, an operating system 102, and a low-voltage power distribution system 103. The PLC control system 101, the operating system 102, and the low-voltage power distribution system 103 are all housed in the same main control cabinet. The PLC control system 101 includes a controller 201, a power module, a communication module 202, an analog input module 204, and an analog output module 205. The operating system 102 includes a human-machine interface touch screen 206. The low-voltage power distribution system 103 includes a low-voltage power distribution control unit 207.
[0037] The power module 203 is used to supply power to the PLC control system 101. The original signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor are respectively connected to the controller signal of the PLC control system. The commands issued by the controller of the PLC control system are external commands to the original signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor. A main circuit breaker 400 is provided between the power module and the controller of the PLC control system. The power supply of the PLC control system is controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the main circuit breaker 400. When the PLC control system loses power and cannot work, it cannot issue command signals to the original signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor. However, since the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor can still receive power from the low-voltage power distribution control unit 207, the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor continue to work, but remote centralized control of the same PLC control system cannot be achieved.
[0038] The communication module 202 is used for communication between the air separator and the user's operation commands;
[0039] The analog input module 204 is signal-connected to the controller 201 and is used to receive analog signals transmitted from the working circuits of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan and discharge conveyor and convert them into digital signals that the controller 201 can read.
[0040] The analog output module 205 is connected to the controller signal and is used to receive the digital signal sent by the controller 201 and convert it into an analog signal so that the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan and discharge conveyor can complete the instructions sent by the controller 201.
[0041] The low-voltage power distribution control unit 207 is used to convert the high-voltage electrical energy connected by the electrical control system 100 into low-voltage electrical energy and to provide total power to the electrical control system of the air separation equipment.
[0042] The human-machine interface touch screen 206 is disposed on the surface of the main control cabinet and is used to receive user operation commands and transmit the user operation commands to the controller 201 through the communication module.
[0043] This invention connects the signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor in the air separation equipment to the controller signal of the same PLC control system 101. The commands issued by the controller of the PLC control system are external commands to the original signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor. A main circuit breaker is provided between the power supply module 203 of the PLC control system and the controller. By controlling the on / off state of the main circuit breaker 400, the power supply module 203 of the PLC control system controls the power supply to the controller. When the PLC control system loses power and cannot work, it cannot issue command signals to the original signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor. However, since the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor can still receive power from the low-voltage power distribution control unit 207, the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor continue to work, but remote centralized control of the same PLC control system cannot be achieved. The PLC control system 101, operating system 102, and low-voltage power distribution system 103 are all housed in the same main control cabinet. This eliminates the need for staff to physically go to the control equipment of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor to shut down the equipment one by one, enabling unified remote control.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, an emergency stop relay is also provided between the main circuit breaker and the power module to stop the equipment operation in a timely manner in an emergency, thereby improving safety.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, a drive circuit, a standby circuit, and a response circuit are further provided between the controller 201 of the PLC control system 101 and the power module 203. The drive circuit can convert low-level, low-current control signals into high-level, high-current signals that can drive the motor to meet the working needs of the motor. The standby circuit is used to detect various parameters and states of the system, determine whether the system is in a ready state, and improve the reliability of the system.
[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, the main control cabinet is also provided with a power indicator light, which is used to indicate that the air classifier is in a powered state. The power indicator light is connected to the controller 201. When the power module powers on the air classifier, the controller 201 controls the power indicator light to light up. The staff can determine whether the air classifier is powered on by observing the lighting status of the power indicator light.
[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the low-voltage power distribution system 103 converts externally connected high-voltage electrical energy into low-voltage electrical energy. When the connected circuit is a single-phase circuit, the converted voltage is 220V; when the connected circuit is a three-phase circuit, the converted voltage is 380V.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the surface of the main control cabinet is a carbon steel powder-coated surface.
[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, a protective door is added to the outer layer of the operating surface of the main control cabinet. The protection level of the protective door is not lower than IP54. Under this protection level, the dustproof level is 5, which can effectively prevent external dust from entering the main control cabinet. The amount of dust that enters will not affect the normal operation of the main control cabinet and effectively prevent external dust from damaging the internal components. The waterproof level is 4, which can effectively prevent external water from splashing into the cabinet and prevent large solid particles and splashing water droplets from damaging the internal components.
[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, a three-color light is installed on the top of the main control cabinet. The three-color light is yellow, green and red. The three-color light is electrically connected to the PLC control system 101. The yellow light is used to indicate that the air classifier is in a ready state, the green light is used to indicate that the air classifier is in a normal operating state, and the red light is used to indicate that the air classifier is in a fault state. The operator can also know the working state of the equipment by observing the color of the indicator light from a distance.
[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the main control cabinet is provided with a rainproof visor to further prevent external water flow from adversely affecting the internal components of the main control cabinet.
[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, a remote switching circuit, a maintenance circuit, and a local circuit are further provided between the controller 201 of the PLC control system 101 and the power supply module. The signal input / output modules 500 of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor of the air separation equipment are connected or disconnected from the working circuit of the PLC control system 101 through the remote switching circuit. When the switch of the remote switching circuit is switched to connect the signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor of the air separation equipment to the working circuit of the PLC control system 101, the signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor in the air separation equipment are all connected to the same PLC control system 101. When the switch of the remote switching circuit is switched to disconnect the signal input / output modules of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor of the air separation equipment from the working circuit of the PLC control system 101, the working state of the feeding conveyor, relay roller, circulating fan, and discharging conveyor individually controlling their respective equipment is restored.
[0053] This utility model embodiment aims to add an additional PLC control system 101 to integrate and manage each device, based on the fact that the signal input and output modules of each device receive external instructions independently, so as to realize remote control of the air separation equipment.
[0054] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention shall be determined by the claims.
