[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] A typical embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, an electric furnace circulating water pump control device includes a dual power supply system 1, an AC contactor 2, an intermediate relay 3, and a PLC controller 4. The dual power supply system 1 uses two sets of power supplies, which can automatically switch to ensure power supply to the circulating water pump. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The dual power supply system 1 is a three-phase power supply, namely phase A, phase B, and phase C. The three-phase power supply is connected to the input terminal of the main contact of the AC contactor 2, and the output terminal of the main contact of the AC contactor 2 is connected to the input terminal of the circulating water pump 5.
[0021] In the dual power supply system 1, one phase is also connected to the input terminal of the switching switch 6 and the normally open contact of the intermediate relay 3. In this embodiment, the C phase of the dual power supply system 1 is connected to the switching switch 6 and the intermediate relay 3. The common terminal contact of the intermediate relay 3 is connected to the output terminal of the switching switch 6 and the A1 terminal of the AC contactor 2 coil. The A2 terminal of the AC contactor 2 coil is connected to the neutral wire.
[0022] The switch 6 can be any switch capable of realizing line on-off, and in the embodiment, the switch 6 is a knob switch.
[0023] The coil of the intermediate relay 3 is connected with the control end of the PLC controller 4, so that the PLC controller 4 is used to control the coil of the intermediate relay 3 to be electrified.
[0024] In the normal state, the switch 6 is disconnected, and the whole system is powered by the dual-power supply system 1, when the PLC controller 4 sends a running instruction, the coil of the intermediate relay 3 is electrified, the normally open contact of the intermediate relay 3 is closed, the 220V alternating current from the C phase in the dual-power supply system 1 enters the A1 end of the coil of the alternating current contactor 2 through the intermediate relay 3, so that the main contact of the alternating current contactor 2 is closed, and the circulating water pump 5 is electrified to normally work.
[0025] When the PLC controller 4 sends a stop instruction, the normally open contact of the intermediate relay 3 is disconnected, the coil of the alternating current contactor 2 is de-energized, the main contact of the alternating current contactor 2 is disconnected, and the circulating water pump 5 is de-energized to stop running.
[0026] In the emergency state, the dual-power supply system 1 can still supply power through the diesel generator, but the PLC controller 4 cannot be used, at this time, the switch 6 is manually rotated to make the switch 6 in the closed state, the C phase in the dual-power supply system 1 is connected with the A1 end of the coil of the alternating current contactor 2, at this time, the 220V alternating current from the C phase in the dual-power supply system 1 directly enters the A1 end of the coil of the alternating current contactor 2 without passing through the intermediate relay 3, the coil of the alternating current contactor 2 is electrified, the main contact of the alternating current contactor 2 is closed, and the circulating water pump 5 is electrified to run.
[0027] When the system returns to normal, the coil of the intermediate relay 3 is electrified by the PLC controller 4, the normally open contact of the intermediate relay 3 is closed, at this time, the switch 6 is manually rotated to make the switch 6 closed, and the 220V alternating current can still enter the A1 end of the coil of the alternating current contactor 2, without affecting the running of the circulating water pump 5.
[0028] The utility model discloses a parallel switch between the normally open contact of the intermediate relay and the common end contact, when power failure and PLC cannot work normally, one phase in the dual-power supply system is introduced into the A1 end of the coil of the alternating current contactor through the switch, the main contact of the alternating current contactor is normally attracted, so that the PLC controller and the intermediate relay control are avoided, the normal running of the circulating water pump is realized, and the control mode in the emergency state and the control mode in the normal state do not interfere with each other, so that the safety of the electric furnace is ensured.
