In addition, modifying the DCS sequential control requires a certain investment of manpower and resources. These shortcomings limit the further optimization of the existing sequential control program. Utility Model Content

Directly modifying the DCS can easily affect the operating conditions and thus production, and the modification is inconvenient and difficult to perform complex calculations. In addition, modifying the DCS sequential control requires a certain investment of manpower and resources.

The operators in the central control room have reduced the frequency of manual operation of each switch valve and regulating valve. They can directly view and record the pulverized coal filling amount on the DCS screen, which reduces the workload and improves the automation rate of the equipment. The sequential control program is on an advanced control platform, which is conducive to subsequent optimization, reduces the risk of directly modifying the DCS, and facilitates the implementation of ideas.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an automatic control device for coal powder conveying, including an upper silo 17 and a lower silo 19. A first drain valve 1, a second drain valve 2, a third drain valve 3, and a twelfth drain valve 23 are respectively installed between the upper silo 17 and the lower silo 19. A coal bunker top 18 is located at the top of the lower silo 19, and a water supply pipe 4 is connected above the coal bunker top 18.

A tenth drain valve 20 and a thirteenth drain valve 24 are respectively installed on the side of the second water supply pipe 21. Sensors are installed on the balance pipe 12, the coal bunker, and the nitrogen pipeline to monitor the pressure difference of the balance pipe 12. The coal powder silo temperature, material level, and nitrogen pressure are monitored. Valves are installed at the connection points of different coal silos, on the balance pipe 12, and on the high-pressure nitrogen delivery pipeline. These systems are used to achieve coal unloading, pressurization, depressurization, and stabilization of coal powder silo pressure. The coal powder conveying sequential control system is implemented on two sets of coal powder conveying equipment, achieving good results. During operation, both systems can take into account the situation of the other system. After disconnection, the system can often be quickly and smoothly put back into operation. After being put back into operation, the jump sequence judgment is accurate. The operators in the central control room have reduced the frequency of manual operation of various switching valves and regulating valves. They can directly view and record the coal powder filling amount on the DCS screen, reducing the workload and improving the automation rate of the equipment. The sequential control program is on an advanced control platform, which is conducive to subsequent optimization, reduces the risk of directly modifying the DCS, and facilitates the implementation of ideas. If the sequential control program fails, it can be automatically disconnected without affecting the calculation of the coal powder filling amount, balancing safety and convenience.

[0022] The side of the water supply pipe 14 is provided with a fifth drain valve 6 and a sixth drain valve 7, and the side of the balance pipe 12 is provided with a pressurization valve 3 15 between it and the sequence control module 16.

[0023] The bottom of the upper silo 17 is equipped with a coal bunker bottom 11, which is connected to the bottom of the water supply pipe 4. The side of the water supply pipe 4 is equipped with a pressure valve 13 located on the side of the eighth drain valve 9. The side of the bottom silo 19 is equipped with a pressure valve 14. Three water supply pipes 21 are set on the right side of the tenth drain valve 20 and the thirteenth drain valve 24. After the coal powder conveying sequential control system is put into use, the operator can be freed from the labor of operating the coal powder conveying valve 1,000 times a day. The coal powder filling amount can be directly viewed and recorded on the DCS screen, which improves the automation rate of the equipment and reduces the labor load. The new sequential control system can realize complex calculations of coal powder conveying equipment data, reduce the risk of directly modifying the DCS, and facilitate subsequent optimization. If the sequential control program fails, it can be automatically cut off without affecting the calculation of coal powder filling amount, taking into account both safety and convenience. At present, the coal powder conveying sequential control system is operating stably and rarely cuts off.

[0024] In practical use, firstly, the raw signals from sensors and valves, including the differential pressure of the balance pipe 12, the pressure of the pulverized coal silo, and the temperature of the pulverized coal silo, are sent to the sequence control module 16 via the communication module. The silo weight is also sent to the data processing module via the communication module. The data processing module processes the silo weight and temperature signals sent from the communication module and provides the results to the sequence control module 16 and the communication module. The sequence control module 16 is then manually activated. During operation, the coal feeding sequence control program is designed with four stages based on the process characteristics, executing sequentially in a loop: A. Coal unloading: Pulverized coal is unloaded from the middle silo into the lower silo. The unloading is completed based on the differential pressure, pulverized coal silo temperature changes, and level gauge readings. B. Pressure depressurization: The pressure in the middle silo is depressurized in two stages. The pressure depressurization is completed based on the differential pressure. C. Coal discharge: Pulverized coal is discharged from the upper silo 17 into the middle silo. The discharge is completed based on the pulverized coal silo weight. Coal cutting is completed; D. Pressurization: Pressurize the middle silo. During pressurization, adjust the opening of the pressurization valve and the opening and closing of each air filling valve in stages. The pressurization is completed based on the pressure and pressure difference. The coal powder conveying sequential control system is implemented on two sets of coal powder conveying equipment and has achieved good results. During the operation of the two sequential control systems, the situation of the opposite sequential control system can be taken into account. After being cut off, it can often be put back into operation smoothly and quickly. After being put into operation, the jump sequence judgment is accurate. The operators in the central control room have reduced the frequency of manual operation of each switch valve and regulating valve. They can directly view and record the coal powder filling amount on the DCS screen, which reduces the workload and improves the automation rate of the equipment. The sequential control program is on an advanced control platform, which is conducive to subsequent optimization, reduces the risk of directly modifying the DCS, and facilitates the implementation of ideas. If the sequential control program fails, it can be automatically cut off without affecting the calculation of the coal powder filling amount, taking into account both safety and convenience.
