[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0030] In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence, nor should they be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] See Figure 1-3 As shown, an air conditioning valve detection device includes: a control module 1, a touch screen 2, a drive module 3, and a power module 4; the control module 1 is connected to the touch screen 2, the drive module 3, the power module 4, and the valve under test 5; the drive module 3 is connected to the power module 4 and the valve under test 5; and the power module 4 is connected to the touch screen 2.
[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the control module 1 includes a main control unit; the main control unit is connected to the touch screen 2, the drive module 3, and the air valve under test 5; the main control unit is a single-chip microcomputer of STM32F103C8T6.
[0033] Touch screen 2 receives the detection signal and sends it to control module 1. Control module 1 generates a drive signal based on the detection signal and sends it to drive module 3. Drive module 3 drives the air valve under test 5 to work based on the drive signal. The air valve under test 5 feeds back its working status to control module 1. Control module 1 generates a detection result based on the working status and sends it to touch screen 2.
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, see Figure 4-6 As shown, the drive module 3 includes a relay drive unit 301, a main relay circuit 302, and a slave relay circuit 303. The relay drive unit 301 is connected to the control module 1, the main relay circuit 302, the slave relay circuit 303, and the power supply module 4. The slave relay circuit 303 is connected to the main relay circuit 302, the power supply module 4, and the air valve under test 5. The main relay circuit 302 is connected to the power supply module 4.
[0035] The main relay circuit 302 includes a main relay; one end of the coil of the main relay is connected to the relay drive circuit, and the other end is connected to the power supply module 4; one end of the normally open contact of the main relay is connected to the power supply module 4, and the other end is connected to the slave relay circuit 303.
[0036] The relay circuit 303 includes a slave relay; one end of the coil of the slave relay is connected to the relay drive circuit, and the other end is connected to the power supply module 4; the common terminal of the slave relay is connected to the main relay circuit 302; the air valve under test 5 is connected to the normally open contact and the normally closed contact of the slave relay.
[0037] exist Figure 5 The main relay circuit 302 is shown. Figure 5 The signal FF7+ is used to control the opening and closing of the slave relay circuit 303. When the drive signal GPIO_FF7 generated by the control module 1 controls the connection of the common terminal of the main relay to the normally open contact via the signal FF7 generated by the relay drive unit 301, the normally open contact of the main relay outputs the 24V voltage provided by the power supply module 4 as the overall control for the opening and closing of the slave relay circuit 303. When the common terminal of the main relay is connected to the normally closed contact, its normally open contact has no output. At this time, even if the drive signal generated by the control module 1 includes the signal to open the slave relay circuit 303, it is impossible to drive the tested air valve 5 to work.
[0038] exist Figure 6 Only one path from relay circuit 303 is shown. Figure 6The signals FFi / FFi- / FFi+ and the value of i in the relay RLYi are all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively, corresponding to 6 identical relay circuits 303. Each relay circuit 303 is used to control one air valve 5 under test, that is, the number of relay circuits 303 is the same as the number of air valves 5 under test. The signal FFi- is used to control the air valve 5 under test to close, and the signal FFi+ is used to control the air valve 5 under test to open. That is, when the common terminal of the relay is connected to the normally closed contact, and the normally closed contact outputs the signal FFi- to the air valve 5 under test, the air valve 5 under test stops working. When the common terminal of the relay is connected to the normally open contact, and the normally open contact outputs the signal FFi+ to the air valve 5 under test, the air valve 5 under test starts working.
[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, see Figure 7 As shown, the power module 4 includes two power conversion circuits with identical structures and redundancy; the power conversion circuits are connected to the control module 1, the drive module 3, and the touch screen 2.
[0040] The working process of the detection device of this utility model will be described in detail below:
[0041] Take, for example, a slave relay circuit 303 that includes a slave relay RLY1 and is connected to the air valve A1.
[0042] The operator selects air valve A1 as the detection object on touch screen 2. Touch screen 2 receives the detection signal for air valve A1. Control module 1 generates drive signals for the main relay circuit 302 and the slave relay circuit 303, including slave relay RLY1, based on the detection signal. Specifically:
[0043] Control module 1 generates drive signals GPIO_FF1 to GPIO_FF7 to relay drive unit 301. Relay drive unit 301 generates signals FF1 to FF7 based on the drive signals. Signal FF1 energizes the coil of slave relay RLY1, and signal FF7 energizes the coil of master relay RLY7, causing the normally open contact of master relay RLY7 to output a 24V voltage to the common terminal of slave relay RLY1. This ensures that the normally open contact output signal FF1+ of slave relay RLY1 can be used to drive the normal operation of air valve A1. FF2 to FF6 de-energize the coils of slave relays RLYi (i = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), causing the normally closed contact of slave relays RLYi (i = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) to output signal FFi- (i = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) to control the other air valves to stop working. This ensures that the drive unit only drives air valve A1, avoiding the simultaneous operation of multiple air valves and affecting the detection results.
[0044] When the air valve A1 reaches the preset opening degree, it sends a signal including the working state to the control module 1. The control module 1 pauses the output of the drive signal and sends the detection result that the air valve A1 is in a normal state to the touch screen 2. After the preset time (e.g., 10s) is reached, the control module 1 continues to open the air valve A1 to the maximum opening degree. At this time, the control module 1 generates a drive signal to stop the air valve A1 from working.
[0045] When the control module 1 does not receive a signal from the air valve A1 indicating its working status, the control module 1 generates a detection result indicating that the air valve A1 is in a fault state and displays it on the touch screen 2.
[0046] The detection device of this invention can effectively improve the inspection efficiency of air conditioning valves in subway cars and save labor costs. It can also quickly detect whether the air conditioning valves are faulty without disassembling the subway car cover or using the car battery, thus improving the detection efficiency.
[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
