s21: determining the product of the total demand flow and a first ratio as the minimum accurate control flow of the original pneumatic regulating valve according to the total demand flow, wherein the first ratio is more than 0 and less than 1;
specifically, in the above sub-steps, according to the inherent characteristics of the pneumatic control valve, the ratio of the minimum accurate control flow rate to the maximum control flow rate of the pneumatic control valve is a fixed value, and the original maximum control flow rate is 1000m after the above example 1 is performed3The ratio of the minimum accurate control flow to the maximum control flow of the pneumatic regulating valve is 10%, so that the minimum accurate control flow of the original pneumatic regulating valve is 100m3The first ratio is 10%.
S22: taking a second ratio, and determining the required rated flow of the first pneumatic regulating valve according to the minimum accurate control flow of the original pneumatic regulating valve and the second ratio;
in this embodiment, the sub-step S22 is to take a second ratio, which is greater than the first ratio, and take the second ratio as 20% and the minimum accurate control flow 100m of the original pneumatic control valve according to the minimum accurate control flow of the original pneumatic control valve and the second ratio, as described in the above example 13H, then the required rated flow of the first pneumatic regulating valve is 100m3H divided by 20% to give 500m3/h。

s30: determining the number of the pneumatic regulating valves which are connected in parallel and the rated flow of other pneumatic regulating valves according to the rated flow of the first pneumatic regulating valve;
as described in example 1 above, the rated flow rate of one of the required pneumatic control valves was determined to be 500m3The rated flow of other required pneumatic regulating valves is 500m subtracted from the total required quantity according to the rated flow3H is determined, and finally, a rated flow rate of 500m is required3H, therefore, the number of the required pneumatic regulating valves is two, and the rated flow of each pneumatic regulating valve is 500m3/h。
The sum of the rated flow rates of the pneumatic regulating valves required in the embodiment is equal to the total required flow rate, and the control quantity of each pneumatic regulating valve is fully utilized.
S40: determining the number and configuration information of the valve positioners according to the number of the required pneumatic regulating valves, and enabling the valve positioners to be respectively connected with the control ends of the corresponding pneumatic regulating valves, wherein the number of the valve positioners is equal to the number of the pneumatic regulating valves;
in this embodiment, the number of the valve positioners is equal to the number of the pneumatic control valves. And each valve positioner is connected with the control end of the corresponding pneumatic regulating valve respectively, and each pneumatic regulating valve controls the opening and closing degree of the pneumatic regulating valve according to the output configuration information of the corresponding valve positioner.

Preferably, the electrical positioner of the valve positioner receives the voltage input signal and outputs the pressure output signal.
Continuing with example 1 above, if the number of pneumatic regulator valves is two, then the number of corresponding valve positioners may also be two. When the received voltage input signal is 1-3V, the pressure output signal of the first valve positioner is 20-100kpa, namely the first pneumatic regulating valve completes the opening degree regulation of 0-100%, and the pressure output signal of the second valve positioner is 20kpa, namely the first pneumatic regulating valve directly opens 0%; when the received voltage input signal is 3-5V, the pressure output signal of the first valve positioner is 100kpa, namely the opening and closing degree value of the first pneumatic regulating valve is always 100%, and the pressure output signal of the second valve positioner is 20kpa-100kpa, namely the second pneumatic regulating valve completes the opening degree regulation of 0-100%.
S50: and generating a control instruction and sending the control instruction to the valve positioner so that the valve positioner controls the corresponding pneumatic regulating valve according to the control instruction to control the opening and closing degree of the corresponding pneumatic regulating valve step by step.
In this step, the control instruction may be sent by a controller, the controller is electrically connected to each of the valve positioners and configured to send a control signal, and since each of the valve positioners has a corresponding signal receiving range, when the control signal sent by the controller is lower than the signal receiving range of the corresponding valve positioner, the corresponding valve positioner outputs a minimum amount to control the minimum opening and closing degree of the corresponding pneumatic control valve, thereby realizing low-flow output; when the control signal sent by the controller is higher than the receiving signal range of the corresponding valve positioner, the corresponding valve positioner outputs in the highest quantity, the pneumatic regulating valve connected with the valve positioner realizes the maximum signal output in the output signal range at the moment, and the pneumatic regulating valve connected with the valve positioner has the maximum opening degree, so that the maximum rated flow output is realized.
The valve locator according to control signal controls step by step, along with the gradual grow of the control signal that above-mentioned controller sent, when the scope of the received signal of the valve locator of first order is not reached, all valve locators are minimum flow control, when reaching the received signal within range of the valve locator of first order, the output signal of first valve locator grow gradually, until exporting to the maximum output signal, in the received signal scope of the valve locator of reaching the second level, first valve locator keeps maximum output signal, the output signal of second valve locator grow gradually. Therefore, the purpose of controlling the opening degree of the corresponding pneumatic regulating valve is achieved through the valve positioners.
More specifically, the valve positioner receives a signal in a linear relationship with the output over a range of signals received by the valve positioner.
The pneumatic regulating valve and the valve positioner are respectively provided with M valve positioners and the output signal P of the nth valve positionernThe voltage control signal U with the output of the controller satisfies the following formula:
when n is 1:

wherein k is1、knIs a constant number, b1、bnIs a constant number, Vn minIs the minimum value, V, of the control signal range corresponding to the nth valve positionern maxIs the maximum value, P, of the voltage signal range corresponding to the nth valve positionern minIs the output minimum pressure, P, of the nth valve positionern maxAnd the output maximum pressure of the nth valve positioner, wherein M is a positive integer greater than 1, and n is a positive integer not greater than M.
In the above embodiment, the output signal P of the nth valve positionernAnd the voltage control signal U output by the controller meets the formula, so that the pneumatic regulating valve linearly regulates the gas output quantity in the electrolytic cell.
Continuing with example 1 above, the input signal range of the first valve positioner is 1-3V, the output signal range is 20-100kpa, the input signal range of the second valve positioner is 3-5V, and the corresponding output signal range is 20-100 kpa. When the voltage output signal that above-mentioned controller sent is less than 1V, above-mentioned first valve locator and second valve locator output are 20kpa, and the pneumatic control valve of being connected respectively with first valve locator and second valve locator is 0 flow output, and when the voltage output signal that above-mentioned controller sent was 1 ~ 3V, the output signal of first valve locator grow gradually, and then makes the degree of opening and shutting of the pneumatic control valve that is connected with first valve locator grow gradually, and the gas flow who corresponds also grows gradually. And the second valve positioner still outputs 20kpa, when the voltage output signal sent by the controller is 3-5V, the output signal of the first valve positioner reaches the maximum signal output of 100kpa, the opening degree of the pneumatic regulating valve connected with the first valve positioner reaches the maximum opening degree, the output signal of the second valve positioner gradually increases, and then the opening degree of the pneumatic regulating valve connected with the second valve positioner gradually increases, and the corresponding gas flow rate also gradually increases. When the voltage output signal sent by the controller is greater than 5V, the first valve positioner and the second valve positioner both output the maximum output signal of 100kpa, and the corresponding pneumatic regulating valves both achieve the maximum opening degree.
The pressure difference adjusting method in the embodiment can determine the number of the required pneumatic adjusting valves and the rated flow required by each pneumatic adjusting valve according to the total required flow of the output gas of the butted electrolysis bath, and the pneumatic adjusting valves corresponding to the valve positioners are matched for step control, so that the accurate control of the flow in low yield is realized.

The n pneumatic control valves are respectively positioned in the corresponding gas conveying pipelines, and each pneumatic control valve can control the flow of gas conveying of the corresponding gas conveying pipeline mainly by controlling the opening and closing degree of each pneumatic control valve. When the pneumatic control valve is closed, the gas conveying pipeline where the pneumatic control valve is located stops conveying gas, when the pneumatic control valve is gradually opened, the flow rate of the gas conveyed by the corresponding gas conveying pipeline is gradually increased, and when the pneumatic control valve is completely opened, the corresponding gas conveying pipeline is in a state capable of conveying gas to the maximum.
In this embodiment, the pneumatic control valve may be a pneumatic diaphragm control valve. The pneumatic membrane regulating valve is adopted in the embodiment, the control structure is relatively mature, and the control process is stable.

acquiring the total required flow of the gas output by the electrolytic cell; specifically, the total demand flow rate may be determined according to the gas yield that can be decomposed by the electrolytic cell, and in this embodiment, the total demand flow rate is determined by modifying the existing differential pressure adjusting device and determining the maximum adjustment flow rate of the original pneumatic adjustment valve on the existing differential pressure adjusting device. For example, the maximum regulating flow of the original pneumatic regulating valve is 1000m3H, then determine the 1000m3And/h is the total demand flow.
