[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an Isa spray gun electrical control unit quick switching system includes an EPS power supply, a power switch 1QF, a power main contactor 1KM, a frequency converter motor, and two frequency converter control branches.

[0039] The EPS power supply, power switch 1QF and power main contactor 1KM are connected in series and then supply power to the variable frequency motor through two parallel variable frequency control branches.

[0040] The frequency converter control branch includes a main frequency converter control branch and a backup frequency converter control branch; the main frequency converter control branch and the backup frequency converter control branch are connected in parallel to supply power to the frequency converter motor;

[0041] In the main frequency converter control branch, the power switch 2QF of the first frequency converter is connected in series with the first frequency converter 1VSD;

[0042] In the standby frequency converter control branch, the power switch 3QF of the second frequency converter is connected in series with the second frequency converter 2VSD;

[0043] The input side of the first frequency converter 1VSD is connected to the output terminal of the main power contactor 1KM through the first frequency converter power switch 2QF, and the output side of the first frequency converter 1VSD is connected to the frequency converter motor; the input side of the second frequency converter 2VSD is connected to the output terminal of the main power contactor 1KM through the second frequency converter power switch 3QF, and the output side of the second frequency converter 2VSD is connected to the frequency converter motor.

[0044] It also includes intermediate control circuitry:

[0045] The intermediate control circuit includes a PLC and eight relays, each with eight coils, eight normally closed switches, and eight normally open switches.

[0046] Eight coils are connected in parallel and powered by 220V AC. The power supply for the eight coils is controlled by switch QF.

[0047] The eight signals are connected to the eight control terminals of the first frequency converter 1VSD through eight normally closed switches;

[0048] The eight signals are connected to the eight control terminals of the second frequency converter 2VSD through eight normally open contacts.

[0049] The 8 signals refer to: brake release signal, fast signal, slow signal, creep signal, lift signal, lower signal, start signal, and common signal;

[0050] It also includes the variable frequency motor fan control circuit:

[0051] The variable frequency motor fan circuit includes a fan switch 4QF, a fan AC contactor 2KM, and a variable frequency motor fan. One end of the fan switch 4QF is connected to the output terminal of the main power contactor 1KM, and the other end of the fan switch 4QF is connected to the input terminal of the fan AC contactor 2KM. The output terminal of the fan AC contactor 2KM is connected to the variable frequency motor fan.

[0052] It also includes the motor brake coil control circuit:

[0053] The motor brake coil circuit includes a brake switch 5QF, a brake AC contactor 3KM, and a motor brake coil; one end of the brake switch 5QF is connected to the output terminal of the main power contactor 1KM, the other end of the brake switch 5QF is connected to the input terminal of the brake AC contactor 3KM, and the output terminal of the brake AC contactor 3KM is connected to the motor brake coil.

[0054] The first frequency converter 1 VSD output side is connected to the frequency converter motor through the first terminal 1; the second frequency converter 2 VSD output end is connected to the frequency converter motor through the second terminal 2.

[0055] When the system is working normally, the first inverter 1VSD is operational. At this time, power switch 1QF, fan switch 4QF, brake switch 5QF, and the first inverter power switch 2QF are in the closed state, while the second inverter power switch 3QF is in the open state. The intermediate control circuit power supply switch QF is also in the open state. When the power start button SB2 is pressed, the main power contactor 1KM and the fan AC contactor 2KM are energized and self-locked through the auxiliary contact of the main power contactor 1KM. The inverter motor fan starts operating. Power from the EPS is input to the first inverter 1VSD via power switch 1QF, main power contactor 1KM, and the first inverter power switch 2QF, and then output to the inverter motor via the first inverter 1VSD. In the intermediate control circuit, intermediate relays KA1-KA8 are not operational because the power supply switch QF is in the open state. Therefore, the PLC outputs the brake release signal (P-DO-3) and the fast signal... The following signals are connected to the corresponding control terminals of the first frequency converter 1VSD via the normally closed auxiliary contacts of intermediate relays KA1-KA8: B-DO-4 (slow signal), P-DO-5 (slow signal), P-DO-6 (creep signal), P-DO-7 (lift signal), P-DO-8 (lower signal), and KT (start signal). When the frequency converter is fault-free, the output contact of intermediate relay K10 closes and the auxiliary contact of intermediate relay K10 closes. When the PLC outputs the lift or lower signal P-DO-7 or P-DO-8, the auxiliary contact of intermediate relay K9 closes, and the frequency converter start time relay KT works. After a delay, the contact of time relay KT closes and starts the first frequency converter 1VSD through the normally closed contact KA7 of intermediate relay, realizing the control operation of the first frequency converter 1VSD by the PLC. The operator can normally control and operate the first frequency converter 1VSD and the motor brake coil through the host computer.

[0056] When the first inverter 1VSD malfunctions and cannot operate normally or requires maintenance, disconnect the power switch 2QF of the first inverter, and disconnect the three inverter motor cables from the first terminal 1 of the first inverter 1VSD. Connect these cables to the second terminal 2 of the second inverter 2VSD according to the corresponding phase sequence. Then, close the power switch 3QF of the second inverter and the power supply switch QF of the intermediate control circuit. At this time, the intermediate relays K1-KA8 of the intermediate control circuit will operate, and the PLC will output a brake release signal.

[0057] (P-DO-3), fast signal (P-DO-4), slow signal (P-DO-5), creep signal (P-DO-6), lift signal (P-DO-7), fall signal (P-DO-8), start signal (KT), and common signal are connected to the corresponding control terminals of the second inverter 2VSD through the normally open auxiliary contacts of intermediate relays KA1-KA8. When the inverter is fault-free, the output contact B-DO-1* closes and the working auxiliary contact of intermediate relay K10 closes. When the PLC outputs lift or fall signals P-DO-7 and P-DO-8, the working auxiliary contact of intermediate relay K9 closes, the inverter start time relay KT works, and after a delay, the time relay KT contact closes and starts the second inverter 2VSD through the closed contact KA7 of the intermediate relay, realizing the switching from the operation of the first inverter 1VSD to the operation of the second inverter 2VSD. The operator can normally control and operate the second inverter 2VSD and the motor brake coil through the host computer.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Similarly, to switch the second inverter 2VSD to the first inverter 1VSD, disconnect the power switch 3QF of the second inverter, remove the three inverter motor cables from the second terminal 2 of the second inverter 2VSD, and connect them to the first terminal 1 of the first inverter 1VSD according to the corresponding phase sequence. Disconnect the power switch QF of the intermediate control circuit, the intermediate relays KA1-KA8 will not work, the corresponding normally closed contacts will be closed, the control signal will be switched to the corresponding control terminal of the first inverter 1VSD, and the power switch 2QF of the first inverter will be closed. Through the above steps, the switching from the second inverter 2VSD to the first inverter 1VSD can be achieved. The operator can then operate the first inverter 1VSD and the motor brake normally through the host computer.

[0061] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of this utility model.

[0062] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model.
