[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a hierarchical architecture automated control platform is provided.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown, the hierarchical automated control platform according to this utility model embodiment includes a control console 1. Inside the control console 1 is a computing unit 2, which mainly includes a server, a core computing device used to run automated control software and process data. On one side of the computing unit 2 is a data transmission unit 3, which includes a data acquisition gateway, a communication module, and interface converters and adapters. The data acquisition gateway is responsible for collecting data from field devices and transmitting it to the upper-level system for processing. The communication module includes network switches, routers, etc., used to realize communication between different components within the system. The interface converters and adapters include, for example, serial-to-Ethernet adapters, facilitating connection between different types of devices. Air inlets 4 are located on both sides of the control console 1. Inside each air inlet 4 is a mounting frame 5, providing a fixed structure for the ventilation system. A partition 6 is connected inside the mounting frame 5. A rotating plate 7 is located between one end of the mounting frame 5 and the partition 6. There are eight rotating plates 7, and their angles can be adjusted as needed to optimize the airflow path. The rotating plates 7 are connected to a rotating shaft 8, which is connected via bearings. Connected to the mounting frame 5 and partition 6, one end of the rotating shaft 8 passes through the partition 6 and connects to the driven bevel gear 9. One side of the driven bevel gear 9 connects to the driving bevel gear 10. The driving bevel gear 10 connects to the connecting rod 11, which is connected to the fixed plate via a bearing. One end of the connecting rod 11 connects to the output end of the drive motor 12, which is fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 5. An encoder 13 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 8. The encoder 13 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 14. The drive motor 12 provides power to rotate the rotating plate 7, while the encoder... The position of the rotating shaft 8 is monitored by 13 devices, and information is fed back to the PLC controller 14 to ensure that the rotating plate 7 is adjusted accurately. The PLC controller 14 can receive data from the temperature sensor 15 and control the working status of the drive motor 12 and the cooling fan 16 according to the preset logic to maintain the optimal working temperature inside the equipment. A dustproof net 17 is bolted to the outside of the mounting frame 5 to prevent dust from entering the control console body 1 through the air inlet 4. It is fixed by bolts and can be disassembled and cleaned when too much dust accumulates on the dustproof net 17.
[0030] like Figures 1-4As shown, the PLC controller 14 is fixed inside one side of the controller body 1. The PLC controller 14 is electrically connected to two temperature sensors 15, one on the side of the computing unit 2 and the other on the side of the data transmission unit 3. These sensors can monitor the temperature changes in different areas inside the controller body 1 in real time. Two cooling fans 16 are located at the rear of the controller body 1 and are electrically connected to the PLC controller 14. The main function of the cooling fans 16 is to accelerate airflow and help dissipate the heat generated inside the equipment. Through the intelligent control of the PLC controller 14, the fan speed can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby achieving energy saving and efficient heat dissipation. A monitor bracket 18 is connected to the top of the controller body 1 for mounting a monitor 19. The monitor bracket 18 supports height and angle adjustment to adapt to different usage needs and personal preferences, enhancing the comfort of human-computer interaction. The monitor bracket 18 is connected to the monitor 19. A pull-out drawer 20 is provided on the controller body 1 for placing a keyboard and mouse. Anti-slip feet 21 are provided at the bottom of the controller body 1 to increase the stability and safety of the equipment placement.
[0031] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.
[0032] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, in actual use, the data acquisition gateway collects raw data from field devices (such as sensors) and performs preliminary processing. The processed data is transmitted to the computing unit 2 for further analysis or directly uploaded to the upper-level system through communication modules (including network switches, routers, etc.). After receiving the data from the data transmission unit 3, the server in the computing unit 2 runs the automation control software to perform in-depth analysis of the data, generate decision instructions or feedback information, and the temperature sensor 15 monitors the temperature changes in different areas inside the control body 1 in real time and sends the data to the PLC controller 14. The PLC controller 14 determines whether the ventilation volume needs to be adjusted according to the preset logic. If the temperature is detected to be too high, when the temperature sensor 15 detects that the internal temperature has reached the first predetermined value set by the PLC controller 14, the PLC controller 14 will issue an instruction to rotate the rotating plate 7 to a specific angle to increase the airflow and thus reduce the temperature. If the temperature continues to rise and reaches the second predetermined value set by the PLC controller 14, the PLC controller 14 will further adjust the angle of the rotating plate 7 to further increase airflow and ensure effective temperature control. Simultaneously, it will control the speed of the cooling fan 16 to accelerate heat dissipation. When the temperature sensor 15 detects that the internal temperature is below a certain value, the PLC controller 14 will issue a command to reverse the rotation of the rotating plate 7, gradually reducing airflow. Finally, when the temperature reaches a safe range, the PLC controller 14 will control the rotating plate 7 to completely reverse its rotation, closing the vents to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the system and maintaining its cleanliness and stable operation.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
