Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ventilation and air conditioning technology in hydropower projects, and in particular to a fan control system suitable for the outdoor area of ​​a small hydropower station. Background Technology

[0002] In conventional ventilation and air conditioning systems for small and medium-sized hydropower stations, the power supply and control circuits for the fans in the external area are generally installed in low-voltage distribution cabinets. Therefore, the distribution and distance of the fans do not affect the centralized control of the ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system. However, according to the requirements of some regulations for small and medium-sized hydropower stations, the fans in the external area (intake, spillway, intake tower) need to be equipped with separate fan control cabinets. The fan control cabinets are close to the fans and installed locally. This installation requirement makes the control circuits of the fans far away from the low-voltage distribution cabinets. The installation positions of the fans are scattered and far apart from each other, with some fans even more than 1 kilometer apart. Due to the large voltage drop of the control cables at this distance and the susceptibility to electromagnetic interference along the cable path, the fans cannot be directly controlled through the control cables of the ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system. If ventilation and air conditioning monitoring systems are set up separately in each external area, it will greatly increase the equipment cost. Moreover, the monitoring system cabinets occupy a large area, and the space in the external area is very limited, making the layout and installation of the equipment difficult. Therefore, a fan control system suitable for the external area of ​​small hydropower stations is needed to meet the needs of users. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment is a ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system applicable to the external area of ​​small and medium-sized hydropower stations. The external area of ​​the hydropower station includes multiple areas such as water inlet, spillway and water intake tower.

[0026] In this embodiment, the ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system includes an indoor low-voltage distribution cabinet 1, a ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system workstation 2 in the central control room, local control units 3 in the inlet area, local control units 3 in the spillway area, local control units 3 in the water intake tower area, and a network switch 4 located in the central control room. The ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system workstation 2 is connected to the network switch 4 via a twisted pair cable 1a. The network switch 4 is connected to the area fan control module box 5 in the local control units 3 of each area via an optical fiber cable 1b. The indoor low-voltage distribution cabinet 1 is connected to the local control units 3 of each area via a power cable 1c.

[0027] The local control unit is a crucial component of the automated monitoring system, responsible for monitoring and controlling the field equipment. The local area usually refers to the site where construction and other activities are carried out directly.

[0028] Each area's local control unit 3 includes one area wind turbine control module box 5, several wind turbines 6, and one wind turbine control cabinet 7 corresponding to each wind turbine 6.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, the fan control cabinet 7 includes a power module 701, a fan start / stop control circuit 702, a sensor interface 703, and a display panel 704. The power input line of the power module 701 is drawn from the low-voltage distribution cabinet 1. The fan start / stop control circuit 702 is connected to the fan 6 through a control cable 1d. The analog input interface of the sensor interface 703 is connected to the fan 6 and the terminal sensor 8 through a shielded twisted pair cable 1e. The analog output interface of the sensor interface 703 is connected to the area fan control module box 5 through a shielded twisted pair cable 1e. The contactor and circuit breaker of the fan start / stop control circuit 702 are connected to the area fan control module box 5 through a control cable 1d. The fan control cabinet 7 sends the open / closed status of the internal circuit breaker and contactor, the operating status of the fan 6, and the temperature and humidity information collected by the terminal sensor 8 to the area fan control module box 5. At the same time, the fan control cabinet 7 receives the control commands issued by the area fan control module box 5.

[0030] The side wall of the display panel 704 is equipped with buttons, knobs and indicator lights. The buttons and knobs are for manual operation, and the indicator lights are for indicating the current working status.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the area fan control module box 5 includes a PLC device 501 and a touch panel 502. The digital input interface of the PLC device 501 is connected to the fan control cabinet 7, and the digital output interface of the PLC device 501 is connected to the fan control cabinet 7. The analog input interface of the PLC device 501 is connected to the terminal sensor 8 via a shielded twisted pair cable 1e. The terminal sensor 8 includes a temperature sensor 801 and a humidity sensor 802. The fan 6 includes an exhaust fan and a supply fan. The area fan control module box 5 is located in the center of each area and is equidistant from each fan 6.

[0032] The specific working principle is as follows: the ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system workstation 2 communicates with the local control unit 3 through optical cable 1b to obtain all ventilation and air conditioning operation data. It obtains temperature and humidity data of different areas through terminal sensors 8 in each area. The data collected in each area is preprocessed by the area fan control module box 5. Then, the ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system workstation 2 processes the data collected in all areas and automatically controls the equipment according to the current environmental data and equipment status according to the preset program. The power plant operator can also manually input control commands on the ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system workstation 2 to remotely start and stop the ventilation and air conditioning equipment.

[0033] Each area's local control unit 3 can independently collect the operating data of all ventilation and air conditioning systems in its area, as well as the temperature and humidity signals from the sensors. The area fan control module box 5 within the area can process the collected data and perform automatic control according to the preset temperature and humidity range. It can also receive control commands sent by the ventilation and air conditioning monitoring system workstation 2, adapting to the characteristics of "unmanned" or "minimal" operation of hydropower stations.

[0034] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
