[0002] Deep well pump rooms are usually located in remote areas, and the pumps and power supply are far from the pump room control room. Each time the pumps are started or stopped, the pumps need to be started and stopped locally, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumes manpower and vehicle resources.

[0003] The circuit diagram for the start / stop control of deep well water pumps used in the water supply workshop of a steel plant is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the startup process is as follows: Pressing the start switch SB1 energizes the coil of intermediate contactor KA1, closing normally open contacts 8 and 12. The soft starter receives the start signal and begins to start, gradually increasing the output voltage of the thyristor to accelerate the motor. When the motor reaches its rated speed, soft starter contacts 8 and 9 close, energizing the coil of intermediate contactor KA2. Normally open contacts 8 and 12 of intermediate contactor KA2 close, energizing the coil of bypass contactor KM. Bypass contactor KM closes, and motor M switches to bypass operation, completing the local startup of the deep well pump. The start switch SB1 in the above control circuit requires manual control.

[0051] The AC power supply is connected to the soft starter via circuit breaker QF1.

[0052] The control circuit is connected to the AC power supply through the control circuit breaker QF2.

[0053] The 4G remote control switch is a modular relay with a built-in 4G network. This technical solution conducts research on the application technology of the 4G remote control switch and analyzes its technical principle. The 4G remote control switch is a modular relay with a built-in 4G network. After being powered on, the 4G remote control switch autonomously searches for a network, its indicator light stays on, and it enters standby mode. Users can easily add and manage devices by scanning the unique QR code (one code per device) on their smartphones using a WeChat mini-program. After adding the device, users can remotely control the 4G remote control switch anytime, anywhere via their mobile phones, enabling remote control of the deep well water pump.

[0054] The working principle of the entire device is as follows: When the control circuit breaker QF2 is closed, the 4G remote control switch is in a energized standby state. The changeover switch SA is used to switch between local control and remote control. In this embodiment, the changeover switch includes contacts 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8. When contacts 1, 2, 7, and 8 are closed and conducting, the control circuit is in local control mode; when contacts 3 and 4 are closed and conducting, the control circuit is in remote control mode; when contacts 3 and 4 are conducting, contacts 1, 2, 7, and 8 are in a non-conducting state.

[0055] When the control circuit selector switch SA is switched to the local position, it is local control. The control process is as follows: Pressing the start button SB1 energizes the coil of intermediate contactor KA1, and the normally open contact of intermediate contactor KA1 conducts. The soft starter receives the start signal and begins to start, gradually increasing the output voltage of the thyristor, causing the motor M to gradually accelerate. When the motor M reaches its rated speed, the normally open contacts 8 and 9 of the soft starter conduct, energizing the coil of intermediate contactor KA2, and the normally open contact of intermediate contactor KA2 conducts. The bypass contactor KM coil is energized, and the bypass contactor KM closes, switching the motor M to bypass operation. The local start of the deep well pump is complete. Pressing the stop button SB2 de-energizes the coil of intermediate contactor KA2, and the normally open contact of intermediate contactor KA2 does not conduct. The bypass contactor KM coil is de-energized, and the bypass contactor KM opens, stopping the motor M.

[0056] When the control circuit selector switch SA is switched to the remote position, it is remote control. The control process is as follows: the mobile phone sends a start command information, the normally open contact of the 4G remote control switch is turned on, the coil of intermediate relay KA4 is energized, the normally open contact of intermediate relay KA4 is closed, the coil of intermediate relay KA1 is energized, the normally open contact of intermediate contactor KA1 is turned on, the soft starter receives the start signal and starts to start. The output voltage of the thyristor gradually increases, causing the motor M to gradually accelerate. When the motor M reaches the rated speed, the normally open contacts 8 and 9 of the soft starter are turned on, the coil of intermediate contactor KA2 is energized, the normally open contact of intermediate contactor KA2 is turned on, the coil of bypass contactor KM is energized, the bypass contactor KM is closed, the motor M switches to bypass operation, and the remote control start of the deep well water pump is completed. When the mobile phone sends a stop command, the normally open contact of the 4G remote control switch opens, the coil of intermediate relay KA4 is de-energized, the normally open contacts 8 and 12 of intermediate relay KA4 open, the coil of intermediate contactor KA2 is de-energized, the normally open contact of intermediate contactor KA2 opens, the coil of bypass contactor KM is de-energized, the bypass contactor trips, and motor M stops.

[0057] The soft starter's startup time is approximately 2 seconds. Utilizing this time difference, the normally open contacts 8 and 12 of the intermediate relay KA4 are already closed and conducting before the coil of the intermediate contactor KA2 is energized, thus not affecting the startup of the intermediate relay KA2 coil circuit. This circuit uses the time difference of the soft starter to allow the normally open contacts 8 and 12 of the intermediate relay KA4 to replace the start switch and stop switch functions. Therefore, remotely controlling the energization and de-energization of the intermediate relay KA4 controls the start and stop of the deep well pump, thereby achieving remote control of the deep well pump.

[0058] This circuit modification is simple to implement and requires a small investment of only a few hundred yuan. It enables remote control of deep well water pumps, saving manpower and vehicle resources and significantly improving work efficiency.

[0059] The benefits of this technical solution, as demonstrated in a trial at a deep well pump room in a steel plant's water supply workshop, are as follows: On average, the pump needs to be started and stopped 12 times per month. Each time, it saves 1 man-hour for the operator, 1 man-hour for the driver, and 4 kilometers of fuel consumption for the vehicle. Over the course of a year, it saves 144 man-hours for the operator, 144 man-hours for the driver, and 576 kilometers of fuel consumption for the vehicle.
