Embodiment
Core of the present invention is to provide coolant level control method and system in a kind of evaporative cooling seal chamber; Its main purpose is for the equipment that adopts the immersion type evaporation cooling technique; In the process of annular seal space perfusion in vivo coolant; Reduce because artificial the observation confirms whether the perfusion liquid level arrives the error that desired location produces; And, therefore also solved the difficult problem that the immersion type evaporation cooling technique is used simultaneously on the flame-proof type electric equipment because technical scheme provided by the invention need not be provided with observation window on the housing of equipment.Specify this execution mode below in conjunction with Figure of description.
Be without loss of generality, this execution mode is elaborated as main body with the horizontal asynchronous motor of immersion type evaporative cooling flame-proof type.Should be appreciated that the cognitive ability according to those skilled in the art, technical scheme provided by the invention is equally applicable to other immersion type evaporative cooling electric equipment, for example: mainframe computer work station etc.This specific embodiment is not the restriction of formation to technical scheme.
See also Fig. 1; This figure is the structural representation of the horizontal asynchronous motor of immersion type evaporative cooling flame-proof type; Comprise the stator 11 and rotor 12 that are arranged in the casing 10, wherein stator 11 is sealed in the seal stator cavity 20, is perfused with coolant in this seal stator cavity 20; And coolant soaks stator 11 to realize the cooling (among Fig. 1,13 of marks refer to the setting of coolant and irritate liquid level position) to stator fully.This asynchronous motor has used coolant fluid level control system in the evaporative cooling seal chamber provided by the invention, to reduce coolant in filling process, owing to artificial the observation confirms whether the perfusion liquid level arrives the error that desired location produces.
The coolant fluid level control system comprises piezoelectric element and controller in the evaporative cooling seal chamber; This piezoelectric element is fixed in the evaporative cooling seal chamber; And the both sides pole plate of this piezoelectric element vertically is arranged on to set irritates the liquid level place; In the course of work, piezoelectric element produces the corresponding signal of telecommunication according to the hydrostatic pressure size of two suffered coolants of pole plate on its opposite flank; Whether controller arrives the judged result of setting the filling liquid level according to the end face of the size acquisition coolant of this signal of telecommunication, and drives the control signal of corresponding executive component according to this judged result output.
Coolant level control method in the evaporative cooling seal chamber provided by the invention may further comprise the steps:
Step 10, piezoelectric element is set at evaporative cooling seal chamber internal fixation; This piezoelectric element is according to the hydrostatic pressure size of two suffered coolants of pole plate on its opposite flank; Produce the corresponding signal of telecommunication, wherein, the both sides pole plate of piezoelectric element vertically is arranged on to set irritates the liquid level place;
Step 20, obtain the top side location of the coolant of current perfusion according to the size of the said signal of telecommunication, and the output control signal corresponding, the end face that drives corresponding executive component control coolant is with to set the filling liquid level concordant.
Wherein, piezoelectric element refers on its two relative side, positive and negative pole plate is set respectively and the detecting element that constitutes by the dielectric substance that possesses piezoelectric effect (piezoelectric dielectric).Dielectric substance is charged at ordinary times and show electric neutrality; When its along the time spent of doing that certain orientation receives external force, inner can produce type polarization phenomena, produce a large amount of free electrons (elecrtonegativity) simultaneously; The atomic nucleus that loses electronics is an electropositive; Thereby form inner faint electric field, under the promotion of this inner faint electric field, the stressed surface of dielectric substance can accumulate out is enough to the amount of charge that detected by positive and negative pole plate.When external force disappeared, because nuclear attraction, free electron will be retracted in the nuclear structure again, and this moment, piezoelectric dielectric reverted to uncharged electric neutrality state again.Piezoelectric dielectric can be divided three classes: (1) quartz crystal class belongs to natural monocrystal; (2) piezoelectric ceramic belongs to artificial synthetic polycrystal; (3) high polymer piezoelectric material.Those skilled in the art can select dissimilar piezoelectric elements according to concrete application scenario.
Referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show a specific embodiment of coolant fluid level control system in the evaporative cooling seal chamber, in this specific embodiment again; Executive component is indicator light (also can adopt loud speaker); Because the voltage signal that electric charge produced that accumulates on the piezoelectric element generally is very little, it is shinny to be not enough to drive indicator light, therefore; Controller has adopted insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT, is serially connected in the power supply circuits of indicator light L (loud speaker).Insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT is a kind of full-control type field-effect transistor, can be used as full-controlled switch and uses, and the voltage signal that electric charge produced that accumulates on the piezoelectric element can drive the control utmost point of IGBT fully.Concrete connected mode is: two pole plates (positive and negative electrode pole plate) of piezoelectric element P are connected respectively on the positive and negative electrode of a capacitor C 1; Positive pole, the source S that the control utmost point G of insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT is connected to capacitor C 1 is connected to the positive pole that is connected to the DC power supply V in the power supply circuits behind the negative pole, drain D series connection indicator light L (loud speaker) of the DC power supply V in the power supply circuits; Capacitor C 1 piezoelectric element P is received the coolant static pressure and the electrical signal conversion that produces to be voltage signal form control signal corresponding; Drive insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT and be switched on or switched off power supply circuits, to remind the associative operation personnel.If G has voltage signal on extremely, then IGBT conducting so power supply circuits are paths, have electric current to flow through and makes indicator light L shinny; If G extremely goes up the no-voltage signal, then IGBT ends, so power supply circuits break off, indicator light L extinguishes.
The implementation process of above-mentioned specific embodiment is following:
At first; Before the evaporative cooling medium of liquid state pours into the seal stator cavity; Configure the predetermined filling liquid level position of coolant; And fixing piezoelectric element P on other the solid support thing on the seal stator cavity inner wall above this irritates liquid level position or in the seal stator cavity, the both sides pole plate of piezoelectric element P vertically is arranged on to set irritates the liquid level place, and the pole plate on the piezoelectric element P two relative side is vertical with predetermined filling liquid level.
Then; Near fixing again capacitor C that matches 1 this piezoelectric element P; Two pole plates (positive and negative electrode pole plate) of piezoelectric element P are connected respectively on the positive and negative electrode of capacitor C 1, and when piezoelectric element P accumulated out electric charge because receiving the external force effect on its two pole plates, this charge Q amount was transmitted on the capacitor C 1 through lead; Be equivalent to charge to electric capacity; If the capacitance of charging capacitor is C, then this capacitor C 1 produces and output voltage U=Q/C, and voltage U is passed through the path of specific zero-decrement shielded conductor along inner other lead-out wires of horizontal machine again; Be drawn out to the outside of explosion-proof motor with other lead-out wires by the terminal box on the explosion-proof housing, as control signal.Certainly, the capacitor C 1 that is complementary with piezoelectric element P also can be arranged on seal stator cavity outside, all can as long as can satisfy the basic function of signal transmission.
Liquid evaporative cooling medium is slowly poured into by the valve of seal stator cavity bottom, along with constantly slowly getting into of coolant, irritates liquid level and slowly raises; In the meantime, piezoelectric element P is uncharged, and the charge Q amount equals 0; The output voltage U of the capacitor C 1 that is attached thereto equals 0, and therefore, insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT ends; Power supply circuits break off, and indicator light L does not work.
Evaporative cooling medium liquid in getting into the seal stator cavity did not have whole stator, and when its filling liquid level just arrived at assigned address, this moment, piezoelectric element P still was exposed at outside the coolant; Just its lower end contacts with irritating liquid level, and its two opposite flanks also do not receive the effect of coolant hydrostatic pressure, along with coolant liquid continues to pour into; Irritate liquid level and begin to contact piezoelectric element P; This moment, the side of piezoelectric element P began to bear the hydrostatic pressure F of media fluid, so begin to occur piezoelectric effect, produced a certain amount of charge Q; This charge Q gives capacitor C 1 charging, thus output voltage signal.
The charge Q amount is very little during beginning, and voltage signal U is also very little, is not enough to drive IGBT; Along with the continuation of irritating liquid level raises, the charge Q amount increases gradually, and voltage signal U also increases gradually; After evaporative cooling medium liquid did not have piezoelectric element P fully, output voltage U enough drove insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT, so power supply circuits become path by open circuit; Indicator light L is lighted, and operating personnel see that indicator light L is shinny then to stop to irritate liquid.
Subsequently, irritate the liquid personnel and begin to discharge coolant liquid through the valve of seal stator cavity lower bottom part, the coolant liquid level in the seal stator cavity begins to descend; When piezoelectric element P began to expose the coolant liquid level, its hydrostatic pressure F that receives began to reduce, and the charge Q on the piezoelectric element P electrode begins to reduce; Then output voltage U reduces; But as long as also have voltage signal, then insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT remains conducting, and indicator light L still is a luminance.
A certain amount of from the discharge of seal stator cavity when coolant, when making its liquid level concordant with the bottom surface of piezoelectric element P (arriving the preset liquid level position of irritating), piezoelectric element P exposes coolant fully; No longer receive hydrostatic pressure F, i.e. F=0, therefore; Charge Q amount on two pole plates of piezoelectric element P also equals 0; Output voltage signal U is 0, and this moment, insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT did not end because there being voltage drive signals, and power supply circuits break off; Indicator light L extinguishes; Irritate the liquid personnel and see that indicator light L extinguishes and then stop to discharge coolant, thereby the liquid level of the coolant in the seal stator cavity is rested on the preset filling liquid level position, to guarantee that stator is immersed in the coolant fully.
In such scheme, also can use single-chip microcomputer as controller, and realize the evaporative cooling medium automatic filling through the control valve that is arranged in the coolant priming line further.Concrete scheme is: single-chip microcomputer detects piezoelectric element output voltage size, and according to output voltage size output control signal corresponding, opens or close said control valve.
In addition; What such scheme all adopted is after coolant did not have piezoelectric element, to be discarded to the mode concordant with its bottom surface again; This is because one side is when coolant just contacts with the bottom surface of piezoelectric element, though can produce voltage signal U this moment; But U is very little, is not enough to drive insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT; Though also can set the certain altitude that the coolant liquid level arrives piezoelectric element (for example 1/3rd of the piezoelectric element height or half the,, this scheme receives the influence of liquid fluctuating easily); In a word, after coolant did not have piezoelectric element, even continue perfusion; Voltage signal U also no longer changes, and can avoid the influence of coolant liquid fluctuating like this, and coolant do not have piezoelectric element after voltage signal U also no longer change; Be a stable signal, can reduce error.
In such scheme, insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT also can adopt the brilliant lock (GTO) of gate electrode capable of switching off, power transistor (GTR), electric power FET full-control type power devices such as (EFT).
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; Should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the principle of the invention; Can also make some improvement and retouching, these improvement and retouching also should be regarded as protection scope of the present invention.
