Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel ventilation equipment technology, specifically an intelligent tunnel ventilation control system based on stepless speed regulation technology. Background Technology

[0002] In enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces such as tunnels and mines, the performance of ventilation systems directly affects environmental safety and personnel health. Traditional tunnel ventilation systems typically use fixed-speed fans or stepped-speed fans, which suffer from problems such as inflexible speed adjustment, low control precision, and high maintenance costs. Fixed-speed fans cannot dynamically adjust the airflow according to the actual needs within the tunnel, resulting in poor ventilation and the potential for localized excessively high or low airflow speeds. The airflow speed within a tunnel dynamically changes with factors such as traffic volume, vehicle speed, and tunnel length. Traditional fans cannot respond to these changes in real time, leading to significant airflow fluctuations and difficulty in maintaining a constant airflow. Stepped-speed fans can cause sudden changes in airflow speed when switching speeds, affecting the stability of the tunnel environment. Traditional fans lack intelligent management functions, and fault diagnosis and maintenance rely on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes an intelligent tunnel ventilation control system based on stepless speed regulation technology, which enables precise adjustment of fan speed, maintains constant wind speed within the tunnel, and simultaneously reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides an intelligent tunnel ventilation control system based on stepless speed regulation technology.

[0005] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: an intelligent tunnel ventilation control system based on stepless speed regulation technology, comprising:

[0006] Wind speed sensor (2) is used to monitor wind speed in the tunnel in real time;

[0007] The main control unit is used to receive data from the wind speed sensor, calculate the wind turbine speed adjustment, and generate control commands.

[0008] The stepless speed regulation drive module is connected to the main control unit and achieves smooth stepless adjustment of the fan blade speed by adjusting the fan input voltage or frequency;

[0009] The feedback module is used to monitor the actual speed and operating status of the fan in real time and feed the data back to the main control unit to form a closed-loop control.

[0010] The communication module connects to the feedback module and is used to enable remote control and data interaction.

[0011] The storage module is used to store historical data of wind speed, rotational speed, and control commands;

[0012] User interface, which provides an operating interface, allows users to set the target wind speed via touch screen or remote control device.

[0013] In some embodiments, wind speed sensors are installed on the top or sidewall of the tunnel to collect wind speed data in real time within the tunnel.

[0014] In some embodiments, the feedback module includes a speed sensor for real-time monitoring of the actual speed of the fan and transmitting the data to the main control unit.

[0015] In some embodiments, the user interface supports remote control functionality, allowing users to remotely set parameters and view operating status via mobile devices or computers.

[0016] In some embodiments, the system also includes a gas sensor and a dust sensor to monitor the concentration of harmful gases and dust in the tunnel and transmit the data to the main control unit, which dynamically adjusts the target wind speed based on the gas and dust concentrations.

[0017] In some embodiments, when the concentration of harmful gases and dust exceeds a set threshold, the main control unit controls the stepless speed regulation drive module to adjust the fan speed to increase.

[0018] In some embodiments, the threshold for harmful gas concentration is 50 ppm, and the threshold for dust concentration is PM10 > 150 μg / m³.

[0019] In some embodiments, the main control unit includes two control modes: manual and automatic. Users can set the target wind speed or select the automatic adjustment mode through the interface.

[0020] In some embodiments, a PID control algorithm is used to calculate the fan speed adjustment. The control formula for the PID control algorithm is as follows:

[0021]

[0022] in, To control the output, This is the error value. , , These are the proportional coefficient, integral coefficient, and derivative coefficient, respectively; the main control unit obtains the actual wind speed through the wind speed sensor and compares it with the target wind speed to obtain the error value. Then, the PID formula is used to calculate the fan speed that needs to be adjusted, and then the stepless speed regulation drive module is controlled to adjust the fan speed so that the actual wind speed approaches the target wind speed, forming a closed-loop control and achieving precise adjustment of wind speed.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention utilizes a PID control algorithm to precisely regulate the fan speed, maintaining a constant airflow within the tunnel. The fan speed is dynamically adjusted according to actual needs, avoiding energy waste and reducing operating costs. Real-time monitoring of airflow changes within the tunnel automatically adjusts the fan speed, improving air quality. Stepless speed regulation reduces mechanical shock and noise, enhancing the comfort of the tunnel environment. Remote control and data monitoring are supported, facilitating operation and maintenance by tunnel management personnel. Attached Figure Description
