[0019] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in this description, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1-2 The natural gas pipeline network gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve control system provided by the application comprises a SCADA system 1, wherein the SCADA system 1 is a data acquisition and monitoring control system and is a computer-based industrial automation system. The SCADA system 1 can be an RTU (remote terminal unit) or a PLC. The SCADA system 1 comprises an AI module 102, a DI module 101, an AO module 106, a DO module 104 and a microprocessor 103. The AI module 102 is used for receiving analog signals, the DI module 101 is used for receiving digital signals, the AO module 106 is used for outputting analog signals, and the DO module 104 is used for outputting digital signals.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 A gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 is arranged on the natural gas pipeline network, and the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 can be a valve chamber cut-off valve or a gas station cross-station valve. A pressure transmitter 4 is arranged on the natural gas pipeline located at the front end and the rear end of the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2, and a bypass valve 3 is arranged on the natural gas pipeline in parallel with the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2. The pressure transmitter 4 is responsible for monitoring the pressure level of the natural gas in the natural gas pipeline. The SCADA system 1 receives the pressure signal of the pressure transmitter 4 through the AI module 102 and receives the on-off signals of the bypass valve 3 and the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 through the DI module 101. The SCADA system 1 is also connected to the relay corresponding to the bypass valve 3 and the electromagnetic valve corresponding to the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 through the DO module 104. When the DO module 104 outputs a high level to the relay corresponding to the bypass valve 3, the coil of the relay is energized, and then the normally open switch of the relay is closed and the normally closed switch is opened, so that the bypass valve 3 is closed. When the DO module 104 outputs a high level to the electromagnetic valve corresponding to the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2, the electromagnetic valve corresponding to the gas path of the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 is closed, and the hydraulic power cannot be converted from the gas power, so that the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 is closed.

[0023] Specifically, the SCADA system 1 further comprises a clock module 105, the microprocessor 103 of the SCADA system 1 is electrically connected with the clock module 105, after the SCADA system 1 receives the pressure signal of the pressure transmitter 4 through the AI module 102, the microprocessor 103 of the SCADA system 1 processes the pressure signal, judges whether the pressure drop rate is greater than the set threshold value, if the pressure drop rate is greater than the set threshold value, the SCADA system 1 outputs the DI signal (digital signal) to the corresponding relay of the bypass valve 3 or the electromagnetic valve of the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 through the DO module 104, so that the bypass valve 3 or the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 is closed.

[0024] Preferably, the SCADA system 1 can further time the duration that the pressure drop rate is greater than the set threshold value through the clock module 105, when the duration that the pressure drop rate is greater than the set threshold value is greater than the preset time, the SCADA system 1 outputs the DI signal (digital signal) to the corresponding bypass valve 3 or gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2. In this embodiment, when the pressure drop rate reaches 0.15 MPa / min and lasts for 120 seconds, the SCADA system 1 outputs the high-level signal to the corresponding bypass valve 3 or gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2.

[0025] Preferably, the SCADA system 1 is further connected with the touch screen 5 through the DI module 101, and the bypass valve 3 or the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 can be controlled by selecting the touch screen 5. The touch screen 5 outputs the corresponding DI signal to the SCADA system 1, and the SCADA system 1 interlocks the pressure signal monitored by the pressure transmitter 4 with the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 or the bypass valve 3 connected in parallel with the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 according to the digital signal output by the touch screen 5; that is, when the pressure drop rate reaches 0.15 MPa / min and lasts for 120 seconds, the SCADA system 1 closes the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 or the bypass valve 3 connected in parallel with the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2.

[0026] Preferably, the SCADA system 1 is also connected with the alarm 6 through the DO module 104, when the pressure drop rate is greater than the set threshold, the SCADA system 1 outputs a high level signal to the alarm 6 through the DO module 104, so that the alarm 6 gives an alarm. In this embodiment, when the pressure drop rate reaches 0.1 MPa / min, the SCADA system 1 triggers the alarm 6 to give a high alarm, and when the pressure drop rate reaches 0.15 MPa / min, the SCADA system 1 triggers the alarm 6 to give a high-high alarm. The corresponding alarm sound of the high-high alarm can be more urgent than that of the high alarm. Wherein, the SCADA system 1 can output corresponding high level signals to different alarms 6 through different DO channels to realize high alarm or high-high alarm; the SCADA system 1 can also output a combination of multiple DO signals to the same alarm 6 through the DO channel, so that the alarm 6 gives different alarm levels; the above methods are not specifically limited by the application, and are within the protection scope of the application.

[0027] It should be noted that the SCADA system 1 itself is also connected with the wireless data transmission module, and the monitored pressure signal, temperature signal and flow signal are sent to the remote monitoring center platform; therefore, in this embodiment, the gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2 is controlled by the SCADA system 1, and the SCADA system 1 is not added, but the original SCADA system 1 is fully utilized.

[0028] In summary, the utility model discloses a natural gas pipe network gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve control system, through SCADA system 1 replaces electronic control unit, according to pressure drop rate to control gas-liquid linkage cut-off valve 2, because natural gas station or valve room itself needs to send the monitored pressure signal, temperature signal and flow signal to the remote monitoring center platform through the SCADA system 1, therefore, the system can save the electronic control unit, avoid the electronic control unit frequently malfunction, and the maintenance cost is higher.
