Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor protection technology, and in particular relates to a protection device to prevent motor damage caused by stalling. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of cast iron pipes, excessive loads often cause motor stalling, leading to motor damage. Existing motor stall protection measures are mostly based on thermal relays, which protect the motor by detecting overcurrent. However, this method is somewhat slow to respond to high-power motors. To address these problems, new methods for motor stall protection have emerged in recent years.
[0003] A Chinese patent specification discloses a "Grouting Motor Protection Device Based on Speed Measurement (Publication No. CN212935507 U)," which specifically discloses the following: The motor speed is measured by a proximity switch, which then feeds the collected data back to the grouting controller. The grouting controller uses the feedback data to determine the motor's status. By using a method that measures the motor speed to protect the motor, damage caused by long-term overload, frequent starts, or stalling is avoided. However, the patent does not provide the specific circuit structure of the protection device.
[0004] The Chinese patent specification also discloses a "Motor Protection Method and Related Equipment (Publication No. CN 118487229 A)" which specifically discloses the following: acquiring the motor's operating status and speed; when the motor's operating status is normal and its speed is less than a preset speed, limiting the motor's output power and starting a timer; if the motor's speed reaches the preset speed within a preset time period, releasing the limitation on the motor's output power; if the motor's speed still does not reach the preset speed within a preset time period, controlling the motor to stop. However, this patent does not provide the specific circuit structure of the related equipment. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer understanding of it.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes a proximity sensor 1, a detection control unit 2, and a motor start / stop unit 3. The proximity sensor is installed on the outside of the motor M. In this embodiment, the proximity sensor selected is a PX1 proximity sensor. The rod 4 is sleeved on the end of the motor shaft 5 through its central hole. When the motor rotates, the rod rotates accordingly. When the rod rotates, its end approaches the proximity sensor and generates a sensing signal.
[0027] The detection and control unit receives the sensing signal from the proximity sensor, obtains the number of times the end of the rod passes the proximity sensor per unit time, thereby obtaining the motor speed, and determines whether the motor is stalled based on the speed, thereby issuing a control signal to control the motor to run or stop.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the detection control unit includes a counter 21. In this embodiment, a DD2005 counter is used. Pin 4 of the counter is connected to pin 4 of the proximity sensor, pin 5 of the counter is connected to pin 1 of the proximity sensor, and pin 6 of the counter is connected to pin 3 of the proximity sensor. Pins 8, 13, and 19 of the counter are all connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, pin 7 of the counter is connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply, and pin 14 of the counter is connected to the intermediate relay KA. The other end of the intermediate relay is connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply. The intermediate relay KA is also connected in parallel with a damping circuit, which includes a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1 connected in series.
[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the detection and control unit also includes an AC contactor KM. One end of the AC contactor's coil is connected to the AC contactor's time-delay normally closed contact KM1. The other end of the time-delay normally closed contact is connected to a normally closed button AN2. The other end of the normally closed button is connected to a normally open button AN1. The other end of the normally open button is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply. The time-delay normally closed contact is connected in parallel to the normally open contact KA1 of the intermediate relay. The normally open button is connected in parallel to the first normally open contact KM2 of the AC contactor. The other end of the AC contactor's coil is connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply. In this embodiment, a 115V DC power supply is used.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the motor start / stop unit includes a motor M, which is connected to a three-phase AC power supply via the second normally open contact KM3 of an AC contactor. In this embodiment, a 380V AC power supply is used.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model:
[0032] Pressing the normally open button AN1 engages the AC contactor KM, closing its first normally open contact KM2 and locking the button AN1. Simultaneously, the second normally open contact KM3 closes, putting the motor in a slow start-up state. Due to the time delay, the delayed normally closed contact KM1 of the AC contactor does not immediately open. Therefore, even if the normally open contact KA1 of the intermediate relay is open, it will not affect the motor's start-up. When the motor is running at normal speed, the intermediate relay KA engages, closing its normally open contact KA1. The AC contactor KM remains engaged, and the second normally open contact KM3 remains closed, allowing the motor to run normally. At the same time, the delayed normally closed contact KM1 opens. When the motor stalls and its speed drops to a set threshold, the intermediate relay KA releases, opening its normally open contact KA1. The AC contactor KM releases, and the second normally open contact KM3 opens, stopping the motor. This effectively protects the motor when it stalls.
[0033] This utility model provides a protective device to prevent motor damage caused by stalling. It effectively solves the problem of slow response sensitivity in existing motor stall protection technologies, improves the reliability of motor protection, ensures safe production, increases production efficiency, and reduces production costs.
