Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pump control, and in particular to a control device for main and standby pumps. Background Technology

[0002] In many industrial and civil sectors, such as water supply systems, fire protection systems, and HVAC systems, a main and standby pump configuration is typically used to ensure continuous and reliable system operation. The main pump serves as the primary operating pump, bearing the load during normal operation; while the standby pump is in a standby state and can be quickly put into operation when the main pump fails or cannot meet the demand, ensuring uninterrupted system operation.

[0003] Most existing main and standby pump controls rely on intelligent and automated control. In the event of a network outage or power failure, operators need to mechanically switch between the main and standby pumps. However, traditional mechanical control methods require turning the main pump on or off first, and then turning the standby pump on or off, which is not flexible enough. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example: This example provides a control device for main and standby pumps. See [link / reference] Figure 1-4 Specifically, it includes a control box 1, a connecting component 2, and a drive component 3. The control box 1 is equipped with two mechanical push rods 11. The connecting component 2 is connected to both mechanical push rods 11. The drive component 3 controls the two mechanical push rods 11 to move in opposite directions by driving the connecting component 2. The mechanical push rod 11 includes a main valve 111 and a backup valve 112.

[0025] The main valve 111 and the standby valve 112 are used to control the main pump and the standby pump, respectively. They are connected to the main valve 111 and the standby valve 112 through the connecting assembly 2. When it is necessary to close the main valve 111 and open the standby valve 112, the two connecting assemblies 2 are driven by the drive assembly 3 to move synchronously and in opposite directions. The standby valve 112 opens at the moment the main valve 111 closes, which facilitates quick switching between the main and standby pumps. The connecting assembly 2 itself can move laterally and can be connected or separated from the mechanical push rod 11, which is convenient for use when both the main and standby valves are closed.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting component 2 includes two fixed frames 21 and two circular blocks 23. Each fixed frame 21 has a movable block 22 slidably disposed inside it. The ends of the movable blocks 22 are rotatably connected to the circular blocks 23. The grooves at the ends of the circular blocks 23 are connected to the mechanical push rods 11. Limiting blocks 24 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the movable blocks 22. The limiting blocks 24 are slidably connected to the grooves on both sides of the fixed frames 21. A spring 25 is fixedly disposed on the end of the movable block 22 away from the circular blocks 23. One end of the spring 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 21. A circular shaft 6 is fixedly disposed on the end of the circular block 23 away from the groove. One end of the circular shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the movable block 22.

[0027] The moving block 22 is pushed by the spring 25, so that the groove of the circular block 23 at the end of the moving block 22 is inserted into the outer wall of the mechanical push rod 11. The circular block 23 is rotatably connected to the moving block 22 through the circular shaft 6. When the mechanical push rod 11 is opened or closed, the circular block 23 will rotate with the movement of the mechanical push rod 11, and the circular block 23 will slide on the mechanical push rod 11 to adapt to the movement of the mechanical push rod 11 when it is turned on or off.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a gear 31, two toothed plates 32, and two limiting members 35. Both sides of the gear 31 mesh with the toothed plates 32. One end of each toothed plate 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame 21. A central shaft 33 is fixedly provided in the middle of the gear 31. A bushing 34 is fixedly provided at the end of the central shaft 33 away from the gear 31. The bushing 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control box 1. The limiting members 35 are all connected to the fixed frame 21. The limiting members 35 include two pairs of support rods 351 and two rectangular rods 352. Both ends of the two rectangular rods 352 are fixedly connected to the support rods 351. One end of the support rods 351 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control box 1. The rectangular rods 352 all pass through the fixed frame 21.

[0029] When a mechanical push rod 11 moves, it will drive a fixed frame 21 to move. The fixed frame 21 will drive the toothed plate 32 to move synchronously. The toothed plate 32 drives another toothed plate 32 to move through the gear 31. The other toothed plate 32 will drive the connected fixed frame 21 to move, so that the two fixed frames 21 move towards each other, realizing rapid switching between the main and standby pumps. When the fixed frame 21 moves, it is restricted by the rectangular rod 352, so that the fixed frame 21 can only move vertically up and down.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the limiting block 24 is provided with a rotating plate 4, and two connecting blocks 41 are fixedly provided on one side of the outer wall of the fixed frame 21. A pull ring 42 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the rotating plate 4. The two sides of the outer wall of the rotating plate 4 are in contact with the inner side of the connecting block 41. The two sides of the inner wall of the connecting block 41 are fixedly provided with a locking block 5, which is made of rubber.

[0031] When the circular block 23 is connected to the mechanical push rod 11, the rotating plate 4 is rotated so that the rotating plate 4 is located in the connecting block 41 on the side close to the circular block 23. The rotating plate 4 in the connecting block 41 is blocked by the locking block 5 to prevent the moving block 22 from sliding freely along the fixed frame 21. When the circular block 23 is not connected to the mechanical push rod 11, the moving block 22 is pushed to squeeze the spring 25, so that the rotating plate 4 is locked into another connecting block 41, thereby positioning the moving block 22.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
