In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
The first embodiment is as follows:
referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for acquiring a gas flow rate, which is used for acquiring a gas flow rate of a current gas flowing through a valve of an electric actuator, and the method for acquiring the gas flow rate comprises the following steps:
step S101, controlling the valve to be opened or closed based on the fact that the electric actuator is in an opening state, and obtaining the opening and closing angle of the valve;
step S102, acquiring a pressure value of gas based on a pressure sensing device arranged on an electric actuator;
step S103 obtains the gas flow rate of the gas flowing through the valve according to the angle and the pressure value.
The method of acquiring the amount of airflow in the present embodiment is applicable to the method of acquiring the amount of airflow of the electric actuator according to any embodiment of the present invention.
In particular, an electric actuator is a drive device that provides linear or rotational motion and has a basic actuator within it for driving a valve to a fully open or fully closed position. The electric actuator of the embodiment has a precise actuating mechanism which can control the valve, so that the valve is fixedly moved to any position of the pipeline. The pipeline is used for conveying secondary waste gas, the valve is closed to prevent gas in the pipeline from being conveyed, the valve is opened to enable the gas in the pipeline to circulate, and partial waste gas enters the engine to be combusted again, so that exhaust pollution is reduced, and the waste gas is recycled.
Further, the acquired gas flow rate of the present embodiment refers to the gas flow rate of the exhaust gas passing through the pipe of the electric actuator, that is, the volume flow rate of the gas, and the acquired gas flow rate may be the precisely calculated gas flow rate or the roughly estimated gas flow rate by some formula. The electric actuator is in an opening state after being powered on, the opening or closing of the valve is controlled through the actuating mechanism, when the valve is opened or closed, the valve can move to the relative position of the valve and the pipeline, and the opening and closing angle of the valve is obtained according to the relative position. The pipeline of the electric actuator is provided with a pressure sensing device which can obtain the pressure value of the gas, and the pressure value is the air pressure value. The air flow passing through the gas is calculated through the opening and closing angle and the pressure value of the valve, the logic is simple, and the calculation result is accurate. The calculation is carried out according to the angle of the valve, so that the method is visual, the efficiency is improved, the use of a flowmeter is reduced, and the equipment cost is saved.
Preferably, the bernoulli equation can be used, the pressure sensing device measures the pressure of the gas currently flowing through the pipeline, and the gas flow of the gas can be calculated according to a formula.
Example two:
referring to fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of embodiment 1 described above, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
The control valve is opened or closed, and specifically comprises:
step S1001, under the condition that no gas flows through the valve, controlling the valve to be closed; and/or
In step S1002, the valve is controlled to be opened when gas flows through the valve.
In this embodiment, the actuator controls the valve to move to the open and closed positions according to whether the pipeline requires gas to flow through. Specifically, the electric actuator is in an open state after being powered on, and the valve is initially in a closed state. When no gas needs to flow through the valve, the actuator is in standby, and the valve is always in a closed state; when gas needs to flow through the valve, the actuator controls the valve to open so that the gas passes through the pipeline; when the electric actuator operates for a period of time and no gas needs to flow through the valve, the actuator controls the valve to close, so that the valve returns to the initial state.
For example, when the valve is in a closed state, the electric actuator is in an initial state, so that the power consumption is less, the power consumption of the machine is saved, the valve is controlled to be closed more simply according to whether the airflow needs to be transmitted in the pipeline, and the labor is saved.
Example three:
referring to fig. 3, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of any of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
Obtain the angle of valve switching, specifically include:
step S2001, acquiring that the angle of the valve is zero based on the valve being in the closed state;
step S2002 obtains the opening angle of the valve according to the position relationship between the valve and the pipeline based on the valve being in the open state.
In this embodiment, it should be noted that the electric actuator is turned on and is in an open state, and when the valve is in a closed state and is not changed, it indicates that the amount of airflow passing through the pipeline is necessarily zero; when the valve is in an open state, the opening and closing angle of the valve is obtained according to the calculation of the relative position relation between the valve and the pipeline. When the valve is opened, the larger the gas sectional area of the pipeline is, the larger the valve angle is, the smaller the gas sectional area of the pipeline is, and the smaller the valve angle is.
Specifically, the angle value is obtained according to the opening and closing state of the valve, calculation is convenient, one-key operation is achieved, and labor is saved.
Example four:
referring to fig. 4, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of any of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
According to angle and pressure value, obtain the gas flow that gas flowed through the valve, specifically include:
step S201, acquiring a first flow rate and a second flow rate of gas within a first target time range based on valve opening; wherein the first flow rate is the flow rate of gas through the gas inlet of the conduit; the second flow rate is the flow rate of the gas passing through the gas outlet of the pipeline;
step S202 obtains the gas flow rate of the gas flowing through the valve according to the average value, the angle and the pressure value of the first flow rate and the second flow rate.
In this embodiment, the electric actuator is powered on and is in an open state, and when the pipeline needs to convey gas, the valve is opened, and a first flow rate and a second flow rate of the gas within a first target time range are measured under the condition of conveying the gas.
Specifically, since the flow rate of the gas varies depending on factors such as the size of the obstacle in the gas passage pipe and the ambient temperature, it is necessary to set a measurement time range for measuring the gas flow rate, and the first target time range may be several seconds to several tens of seconds, and the gas flow rate measured during these times is a flow rate within the same target time range.
For example, the cross-sectional areas of the inlet and the outlet of the pipeline are different, the flow velocity of the gas flowing through the inlet and the outlet is different, in order to obtain more accurate flow velocity of the gas, a first flow velocity value and a second flow velocity value are measured, and the flow rate of the gas passing through is obtained according to the average value of the first flow velocity value and the second flow velocity. Through simple calculation, a more accurate flow velocity value is obtained, and the subsequent gas flow is convenient to obtain.
Example five:
referring to fig. 5, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of any of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
According to angle and pressure value, obtain the gas flow that gas flowed through the valve, specifically include:
step S301, acquiring a first pressure value and a second pressure value of the gas within a second target time range based on the opening state of the valve; the first pressure value is the pressure value of the gas in a static state, and the second pressure value is the pressure value of the gas in a flowing state;
step S302, calculating a differential pressure value between the first pressure value and the second pressure value;
step S303 obtains the gas flow rate of the gas flowing through the valve according to the angle and the differential pressure value.
In this embodiment, the electric actuator is turned on, the first pressure value is a pressure value of the gas in the pipeline in a static state when the valve is closed, and the second pressure value is a pressure value of the gas in the pipeline flowing when the valve is just opened and the valve stops moving stably. Because the states of the valve are different when the first pressure value and the second pressure value are measured, a second target time range is set for constraint, the second target time range refers to calculation when the valve is opened and is finished when the second pressure value is measured, the second target time is within a few minutes, such as two minutes, three minutes, five minutes and the like, the second pressure value and the first pressure value are subtracted to obtain a pressure difference value, and a more accurate pressure value is obtained through simple calculation, so that the subsequent gas flow can be conveniently obtained.
For example, when the pipeline needs to transmit gas, the valve is opened, and the pressure value can be continuously measured within a certain time range, so as to obtain the average value of the pressure values. Specifically, the pressure value of the gas may vary with the size of the obstacle in the gas passage pipe, the ambient temperature, and other factors, so that a range of measurement time is required to be specified when the gas pressure is measured, the certain time may be the same as the first target time, the measurement time of the pressure value may range from several seconds to several tens of seconds, or from two minutes to five minutes, the pressure values of a plurality of gases are measured within these times, and then the average value is calculated, which is helpful for more intuitively knowing the gas pressure in the current valve opening state.
Example six:
referring to fig. 6, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of any of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
The method of capturing airflow further comprises:
step S401 adjusts the opening angle of the valve according to the acquired airflow.
For example, the operation condition of the electric actuator equipment is detected in real time to save the flow meter on one hand, and the working mode of the electric actuator equipment can be adjusted in time when the air flow data is obtained on the other hand, so that the purposes of time saving and resource saving of the accurate control equipment are achieved.
Specifically, the electric actuator judges whether the opening and closing angle of the valve needs to be adjusted according to the current acquired air flow, so that the current circulation of air in the pipeline is adjusted more quickly, the temperature of the equipment is prevented from rising after the equipment works for a long time, and the performance of the equipment is prevented from being reduced.
Example seven:
referring to fig. 7, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of any of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
According to the gas flow who obtains, the angle that the regulating valve opened specifically includes:
step S3000, presetting the rated flow of gas;
step S3001, under the condition that the air flow is larger than the rated flow, the adjusting angle is enlarged; and/or
In step S3002, the adjustment angle is decreased when the airflow amount is smaller than the rated flow amount.
For example, the flow rate of the gas flowing through the pipeline of the electric actuator is stable under a certain condition, the rated flow rate of the gas is preset according to the stable condition, the gas flow rate acquired by the electric actuator through any one of the above embodiments is compared with the rated flow rate, and the angle change of the valve is controlled according to the comparison result.
Specifically, when the gas flow is larger than the rated flow, the gas flow is too large, the angle of the valve to be controlled becomes large, and the gas flowing amount is reduced; when the gas flow is smaller than the rated flow, the gas flow is too small, the angle of the control valve needs to be reduced, and the amount of gas flowing through is increased.
The electric actuator judges whether the opening and closing angle of the valve needs to be adjusted according to the current acquired air flow, the current circulation of air in the pipeline is adjusted more quickly, and the temperature rise and performance reduction of the equipment after long-time working are prevented.
Example eight:
referring to fig. 8, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of any of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
The method of capturing airflow further comprises:
step S501, presetting a rated flow of gas;
step S502 determines whether to acquire the airflow twice according to the error value between the acquired airflow and the rated flow.
For example, the air flow is calculated by measuring the pressure value and the opening and closing angle of the valve, and due to various environmental factors and the operating time of the electric actuator device, a certain error may be generated between the calculated air flow and the actual air flow, at this time, the rated flow of the air flow is preset, the error value between the air flow and the rated flow is compared, and whether the air flow needs to be acquired secondarily is determined by the error value.
Specifically, the step of obtaining the airflow twice is the same as the step of obtaining the airflow in any of the embodiments, and the working mode of the electric actuator device can be adjusted in time when the airflow data is obtained, so that the purpose of accurately controlling the device, which saves time and resources, is achieved.
Example nine:
referring to fig. 9, the present embodiment provides a method of acquiring an amount of airflow. In addition to the technical features of any of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further includes the following technical features.
Judging whether to acquire the airflow for the second time, specifically comprising:
step S4000 presets the threshold value of the error value;
step S4001, when the error value is smaller than a threshold value, stopping acquiring the air flow;
and S4002, controlling the angle of the valve to acquire the air flow for the second time when the error value is larger than the threshold value.
For example, when the acquired airflow and the actual airflow have errors, the electric actuator can adjust the opening and closing angle of the current valve, control the gas to flow in the pipeline more stably, and prevent the temperature of the equipment from rising and the performance from lowering after the equipment works for a long time. However, sometimes the airflow cannot be accurately acquired due to environmental factors, temperature, and the like, so a threshold value of the rated error is preset, and whether the airflow needs to be acquired secondarily is determined according to the magnitude relation between the error value and the threshold value of the rated error.
Specifically, under the condition that the error value is smaller than the threshold value, the air flow normally circulates in the pipeline, and secondary air flow acquisition is not needed; under the condition that the error value is larger than the threshold value, the acquired air flow error is overlarge, the electric actuator needs to control the angle of the valve to acquire the air flow for the second time, and more accurate data are calculated. Whether the secondary air flow is needed or not is judged according to the error, and the method is simpler and more intuitive and is easy to calculate.
