[0061] In the embodiment, the pull wire type displacement sensor 7 is fixed above the piston cylinder of the force amplifier 6, and the other end of the pull rope 7.1 of the pull wire type displacement sensor 7 is fixed to the crank arm 4.
[0062] The working principle of the main water inlet valve with the position signal detection system:
[0063] The main water inlet valve mainly comprises a main water inlet valve body 1, a crank arm 4, a valve 9, a servomotor 6, and some sealing structures, hydraulic and electrical control systems, etc. One end of the servomotor 6 is connected and fixed in the concrete ground through a hinge; the other end is connected (hinged) with the crank arm 4, and the servomotor 6 makes extension and retraction movement and drives the crank arm 4 to rotate under the action of hydraulic driving force; the crank arm 4 is fixed with the valve 9 through a shaft coupling 10 to form a coaxial rotating body, and the crank arm 4 drives the valve 9 to rotate when rotating, so as to realize the opening and closing of the main water inlet valve.
[0064] When the main water inlet valve is opened / closed, the valve 9 rotates 90° clockwise / counter-clockwise, the crank arm 4 rotates synchronously with the valve 9, and the position state of the valve 9 can be fed back through the rotation angle of the crank arm 4. The scale plate 2 on the main water inlet valve body 1 has a scale, which can directly display the current opening degree of the valve 9; the position state signal of the valve 9 can be detected after the pointer plate fixed on the crank arm 4 passes through the proximity switch fixed on the scale plate 2 on the valve body; the pull rope 7.1 of the pull wire type displacement sensor 7 fixed on the servomotor 6 stretches / contracts with the opening / closing of the main water inlet valve, and outputs an analog quantity to feed back the opening degree of the main water inlet valve.
[0065] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , 2 , during the process from full closing to full opening of the main water inlet valve, the valve 9 rotates 90° clockwise, and the pointer plate fixed on the crank arm 4 rotates synchronously. When the main water inlet valve is fully closed, referring to Figure 1 , the valve 9 is in a 90° state, corresponding to the full closing position of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2 of the valve body; when the valve 9 rotates to 45°, it corresponds to the 50% opening degree of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2 of the valve body; when the valve 9 rotates to 81°, it corresponds to the 90% opening degree of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2 of the valve body; and when the valve 9 rotates to 90°, it corresponds to the 100% opening degree of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2 of the valve body, i.e. the full opening position of the main water inlet valve, referring to Figure 2 .
[0066] Specifically, during the process from full opening to full closing of the main water inlet valve, the valve 9 rotates 90° counterclockwise, and the pointer plate fixed on the crank arm 4 rotates synchronously. When the main water inlet valve is fully opened, the valve 9 is in a 0° state, corresponding to the full opening position of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2; when the valve 9 rotates to 45°, it corresponds to the 50% opening degree of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2 of the valve body; when the valve 9 rotates to 81°, it corresponds to the 90% opening degree of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2 of the valve body; and when the valve 9 rotates to 90°, it corresponds to the 0% opening degree of the main water inlet valve on the scale plate 2 of the valve body, i.e. the full closing position of the main water inlet valve.
[0067] In this embodiment, the working principle of the pull wire displacement sensor 7: the pull wire displacement sensor is based on the pull wire expansion to drive the inner shaft rotation, and then generates resistance change through the high-precision potentiometer, and finally converts the change into standard current or voltage signal output. Specifically, when the linear displacement or angular displacement changes, the pull wire will expand and contract, driving the inner shaft to rotate. The inner shaft is provided with a high-precision potentiometer, and as the inner shaft rotates, the resistance value of the potentiometer changes. This resistance change is converted into a 4-20 mA analog signal output through the transmitter.
[0068] The working principle of the proximity switch: the proximity switch is an internal oscillator that generates an alternating magnetic field. When a metal object approaches this magnetic field and reaches the inductive distance, eddy currents will be generated in the metal target, which will cause the oscillation to attenuate and even stop. The change of the oscillator oscillation and stop is processed by the rear-stage amplification circuit and converted into a PNP switch signal, triggering the driving controller, so as to achieve the purpose of non-contact detection.
[0069] The electrical control principle of the main water inlet valve position signal: when the valve 9 is in a certain position state, the pull wire displacement sensor 7 and the proximity switch will output the current position state through analog and switching quantities to the PLC control cabinet 8 through the signal cable, realizing the detection of the position state of the main water inlet valve. Specifically, the main water inlet valve has four position states: full closing, 50% opening, 90% opening, and full opening. Each position is provided with two position signal travel switches. As long as the position signal of one of the position signal travel switches in each position state is detected, the PLC control cabinet 8 is considered as valid input. At the same time, the displacement sensor also outputs analog quantity to the PLC control cabinet 8. The PLC control cabinet 8 forms a three-to-one judgment logic after logical operation of the received switching quantity and analog quantity. The main water inlet valve position signal output by the PLC control cabinet 8 is used for the sequence control process control of the main water inlet valve, and is also output to the computer monitoring system for the sequence control process control of the unit.
[0070] In this embodiment, the proximity type travel switch 3, the scale plate 2 and the arc-shaped position pointer plate 5 are designed and pre-assembled as a whole, avoiding the problems of excessive deviation and insufficient action matching accuracy caused by on-site manufacturing and assembly.
