Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical control technology for industrial cranes, and in particular to a fault-tolerant and switchable crane voltage and speed regulation control system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the existing crane pressure regulation and speed control technology solutions are as follows:

[0003] Option 1: A hard-wired control system based on relay logic. This system uses physical devices such as relays, contactors, and switches connected by wires to establish control logic, thereby controlling the actions of actuators. Option 2: A centralized control system based on a programmable logic controller (PLC). This system uses the PLC as its core, acquiring signals through input modules (DI, AI modules). The acquired signals are processed and calculated by the central processing unit (CPU). The results are then converted into drive signals through output modules (DO, AO modules) to control the actions of actuators.

[0004] However, for Option 1: although each control loop is relatively independent, the fault symptoms are obvious, and it is easy for technicians to maintain, its system is complex, bulky, and has cumbersome wiring, which greatly increases the number of system fault points and potential faults. In addition, because the control logic is fixed by physical wiring, any modification requires hardware changes, resulting in extremely poor flexibility and scalability. For Option 2: the control logic is implemented through programming, which is highly flexible, easy to implement complex functions and upgrades, has high system integration, and is relatively small in size. However, the entire system is highly dependent on the reliability of the PLC, and fault diagnosis and troubleshooting require extremely high skills from maintenance personnel. Once the PLC fails, the entire system will be paralyzed, resulting in incalculable losses.

[0005] In summary, the two existing technologies have an irreconcilable contradiction in terms of "reliability" and "simplicity / flexibility," and cannot guarantee the system's advanced nature while providing a high level of fault tolerance. Utility Model Content

[0049] The lifting / forward terminal B2 of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 is connected to one end of the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF31; the lowering / reverse terminal B3 is connected to one end of the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF32; the first gear command terminal B4 is connected to one end of the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF33; the second gear command terminal B5 is connected to one end of the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF34; the third gear command terminal B6 is connected to one end of the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF35; the forward deceleration terminal B7 is connected to one end of the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF22; and the reverse deceleration terminal B8 is connected to...

[0051] The control AC220V_L terminal A12 of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 is connected to the L-FC02.9 terminal of the control power supply, one end of the third auxiliary contact switch of the first relay KF00, and the fault alarm terminal A3. The other end of the third auxiliary contact switch of the first relay KF00 is connected to the relay power supply terminal A10. The control AC220V_N terminal A11 of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 is connected to the N-FC02.9 terminal of the control power supply, one end of the first contactor QA72, one end of the second contactor QA71, one end of the fifth relay KF042, one end of the sixth relay KF041, one end of the seventh relay KF040, and one end of the eighth relay KF08. The other end of the eighth relay KF08 is connected to the fault alarm terminal A4, the other end of the seventh relay KF040 is connected to the first rotor group cutting terminal A9, the other end of the sixth relay KF041 is connected to the second rotor group cutting terminal A8, the other end of the fifth relay KF042 is connected to the third rotor group cutting terminal A7, the other end of the second contactor QA71 is connected to the brake terminal A6, the other end of the first contactor QA72 is connected to the brake reinforcement terminal A5, and the rotor frequency feedback terminals D1, D2, and D3 of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 are connected to the U-phase terminal, V-phase terminal, and W-phase terminal of the drive motor, respectively. The first contactor QA72 and the second contactor QA71 adopt LC1D18M7C. In this embodiment, the switching control loop and the driver control loop are used to realize the action recognition of mode switching (the master gear signal for gear switching) and execute the crane operation control. Based on the high integration of the core driver, i.e., the voltage and speed regulating device control board, and its industrial Ethernet control function, the crane can switch to the second control mode when the first control mode fails during operation. Specifically, the core driver is implemented through... Figure 4 The power circuit shown is as follows: Figure 2 The driver control loop shown is as follows: Figure 11 The encoder feedback interface circuit shown and as follows Figure 12 The system loop formed by the communication interface modules shown;

[0052] The limit transition circuit is used to collect the crane's operating limit information, which includes at least a deceleration trigger signal, a stop limit signal, an overload signal, and an overspeed signal. This limit information is then transmitted to the driver control circuit. The input terminal of the driver control circuit is connected to the output terminal of the switching control circuit, and it is used to control the crane motor to perform voltage and speed regulation operations. Upon receiving a limit action signal, it performs deceleration, stop, or alarm operations. Specifically, the limit transition circuit collects crane operating information such as deceleration, stop limit, overload, and overspeed information into the control system as a safety guarantee. When a limit action occurs, the control system responds to prevent safety hazards. The specific circuit structure is as follows: Figure 9 As shown;

[0053] This embodiment also includes a communication interface module, which is used to establish a network connection between the preset PLC system and the voltage and speed control device TA01.

[0054] Specifically, the crane user selects the control mode via the mode selection button on the control panel in the crane operator's cab. If the industrial Ethernet control mode is selected, the fourth relay KF52 is de-energized. At this time, the control mode switching terminal B15 (terminal / bus selection terminal) of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 is disabled, thus disabling the control functions of terminals B1 to B13 of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01. All switch signals from the control system then enter the PLC and, after preset calculations, directly issue commands to the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 via the industrial Ethernet (Profinet). This establishes a network connection between the PLC and the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 through the communication interface module, achieving intelligent control in the industrial Ethernet control mode. Figure 12As shown, the communication interface module adopts a 10dB / C+MF communication interface, and the control signal path for the master controller's output signal, i.e., the gear transition circuit, to collect the crane's operation command information, i.e., the master gear signal, is: master controller -> PLC -> Profinet -> voltage and speed regulation control device. When operating in industrial Ethernet control mode, the preset communication board and preset PLC detection device of the voltage and speed regulation control device detect the PLC operating status and network status in real time. When the PLC operating status and network status are normal, relay KF0M is energized, and its corresponding first auxiliary contact switch closes. At the same time, the other states of the control system are normal, i.e., the first auxiliary contact switch of relay FC07 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF50 is closed, and relay K... When the first auxiliary contact switch of F51 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF08 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF25 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF30 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF52 is closed, the second auxiliary contact switch of relay KF52 is open, and the third auxiliary contact switch of relay KF52 is open, the first relay KF00 is energized, and the system operates normally. At this time, the control mode switching terminal B15 (terminal / bus selection terminal) of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 is disabled, and the control functions of terminals B1 to B13 of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 are not activated. The system directly issues commands to the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 via industrial Ethernet (Profinet). When a PLC or network fault is detected, relay KF0M is de-energized, its corresponding first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF0M is open, the first relay KF00 is de-energized, and the system will shut down in an emergency. At this time, the crane operator can switch to the relay logic control mode via the mode selection button on the operator's cab control panel. After pulling the gear back to the zero position, the operator can operate the crane in relay logic control mode by re-operating the gear. At this time, the fourth relay KF52 is energized, the control mode switching terminal B15 (terminal / bus selection terminal) of the voltage and speed regulation control device TA01 is enabled, and the control functions of terminals B1 to B13 of the voltage and speed regulation control device TA01 are activated. The output signal of the master controller in the gear transition module is directly transmitted to the voltage and speed regulation control device TA01. The corresponding control signal path is: master controller -> relay logic circuit -> voltage and speed regulation control device, realizing the voltage and speed regulation control operation of the crane. At this time, all controls are connected by hard wiring and are not affected by PLC failures or network failures.

[0055] This embodiment of the voltage regulation speed control system is a modern AC motor speed control scheme that achieves wide-range, smooth speed regulation by changing the stator voltage of a three-phase asynchronous wound-rotor motor in conjunction with the rotor-side switching resistor. Its speed control principle utilizes the controllability of thyristors. A set of thyristors (connected in parallel in both forward and reverse directions) is connected in series with each phase of the stator winding of the three-phase asynchronous wound-rotor motor. Commutation is achieved by turning the forward and reverse thyristors on and off. The trigger voltage output by the control circuit determines the conduction angle of the thyristors, which in turn triggers the thyristors, changing the motor stator voltage. When the motor stator voltage decreases, the motor's driving torque decreases, and the motor's operating speed decreases. Therefore, changing the stator voltage can change the motor's operating speed. However, for the demanding operating conditions of heavy-load startup and wide-range stable operation of cranes, single stator voltage regulation is insufficient. Therefore, a combined stator voltage regulation and rotor resistance switching control method, i.e., a voltage regulation speed control system, is adopted. This solution effectively expands the speed regulation range and achieves a more robust mechanical characteristic, ensuring smooth and stable stepless speed regulation throughout the entire speed range. The core of this embodiment lies in integrating two circuits: industrial Ethernet control and relay logic control. By incorporating a manual switching function on the device control board, this architecture enables both intelligent control based on industrial Ethernet and a safe, seamless manual switch to relay logic control mode in the event of an industrial Ethernet failure, thus providing high reliability for continuous production.

[0056] System Safety Assurance and Switching Mechanism: The system has a critical zero-position relay (-KF00), whose energization is a prerequisite for the normal operation of the entire control system. If any fault occurs or the operating conditions are not met, the first relay KF00 disconnects, and the system stops operating, thus ensuring system safety. In this embodiment, the working principle of switching the control loop and the drive control loop is as follows: When the driver's cab linkage is in the zero position, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF30 is closed. If the relay logic control mode is selected at this time, the coil of relay KF52 is energized, the normally open auxiliary contact (second auxiliary contact switch) of relay KF52 closes, and the normally closed contact (first auxiliary contact switch) opens. At this time, the system switches to the relay logic control mode. If the following conditions are met: the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF0M is closed, the brake circuit breaker auxiliary contact corresponding to relay FC07 (i.e., the first auxiliary contact switch of relay FC07) is closed, the motor protector's normal status relay KF50's auxiliary contact (i.e., the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF50) is closed, and the rotor controller's normal status relay KF51's auxiliary contact (i.e., the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF50) is closed... When the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF08 (the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF08) is closed, the auxiliary contact of relay KF25 (the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF25) is closed, and the motor overspeed status relay KF25 is closed, the system is normal. At this time, the first auxiliary contact switch, the second auxiliary contact switch, and the third auxiliary contact switch of the first relay KF00 are all closed. The common point B16 of the voltage regulation and speed control device TA01 and the relay power supply A10 are energized, the control board of the voltage regulation and speed control device is energized, and the system works normally. If any of these states are abnormal or malfunctioning, the first relay KF00 will not be able to engage, the common point B16 of the voltage regulation and speed control device TA01 and the relay power supply A10 will be de-energized, the control board of the voltage regulation and speed control device will have no power, and the system will not work. In addition, even if any fault occurs during system operation, the coil of the first relay KF00 will lose power, the common point B16 of the voltage regulating and speed regulating control device TA01 and the relay power supply A10 will lose power, the brake contactor QA71 and the brake reinforcement contactor QA72 will lose power, the main contacts of the contactor will open, and the brake will immediately engage after the power is lost, thereby achieving emergency stop and avoiding dangerous events.In this embodiment, under the industrial Ethernet control mode, if the PLC status and Ethernet network are normal, the bus working zero-position transition relay KF0M is energized. In addition, the following conditions must be met: the first auxiliary contact switch of relay FC07 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF50 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF51 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF08 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF25 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF30 is closed, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay KF52 is closed, the second auxiliary contact switch of relay KF52 is open, and the third auxiliary contact switch of relay KF52 is open. After the conditions are met, the first relay KF00 is energized, and the system operates normally. At this time, the control mode switching terminal B15 (terminal / bus selection terminal) of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 is disabled, and the control functions of terminals B1 to B13 of the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 are not activated. The system directly issues commands to the voltage and speed regulating control device TA01 through the industrial Ethernet (Profinet). If Ethernet communication fails, the first auxiliary contact switch of relay-KF0M will open, and the first relay KF00 (zero-position relay) will also open, causing the system to stop. At this time, the operator can manually switch to relay logic control mode. After switching modes, pulling the gear back to the zero position and operating the master controller again will allow the system to restart and operate in relay logic control mode, ensuring continuous production. See the appendix for the switching and execution of dual control mode signals. Figure 18 All signals within the system are split into two parallel paths. One path is directly connected to the relay logic control circuit, while the other path enters the preset PLC system to realize intelligent control via industrial Ethernet.

[0066] The beneficial effects of the system described in this embodiment are:

[0067] (1) Combining intelligent control with high reliability, effectively preventing unplanned production stoppages: The system can manually switch between industrial Ethernet control and relay logic control. Under normal circumstances, it fully leverages the technical advantages of high precision and superior control performance of Ethernet control; in the event of a failure, it can be immediately switched manually to relay control mode to restore production first, and then the fault can be investigated calmly, fundamentally avoiding the risk of unexpected downtime caused by a single system failure and ensuring the continuity of production;

[0068] (2) Integrated control and protection functions and system-level hardware integration: The processing logic of key safety and control signals such as overload, overspeed, and deceleration stop limit is directly integrated into the control board of the voltage regulation and speed regulation control device, eliminating the need for additional complex control loops. Based on the high integration of the product and the optimization of the control system, the system is reduced in size and simplified, achieving multiple optimizations such as space saving, convenient installation, easy debugging and low maintenance costs, thus reducing the total life cycle cost.
