Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of controlling a plurality of compressors according to claim 1.
  • Japanese Patent No.2,875,702 discloses a method of controlling a plurality of compressors in a system in which compressed gases from a plurality of compressors are gathered into a pressure tank of which a required compressed gas is taken out.
  • the upper limit of pressure is kept to 0.2 MPa higher than used pressure to increase difference between the upper and lower limits.
  • rotation speed of the compressor is set depending on high upper limit pressure and it is necessary to decrease rotation speed during normal operation. So it operates with decreased amount of air, thereby decreasing efficiency of the compressors.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates one embodiment of the present invention.
  • Compressed gases such as compressed air
  • compressed air outputted from a plurality of compressors are gathered into a pressure tank.
  • a required amount of compressed air is taken out of the pressure tank and employed.
  • the compressed gases are not always gathered into the pressure tank, but may be taken out of conduits directly.
  • Electromagnetic switches 3 comprising E 1 to E 8 turn the motors M 1 to M 8 on and off respectively.
  • check valves 4 comprising V 1 to V 8 are provided to prevent running back of compressed air from the compressors 1
  • Compressed air through the check valves 4 is all fed into a pressure tank 5, of which compressed air used in an object 7 is taken out by opening and shutting a valve 6.
  • the compressors 1 are controlled on the basis of feedback by determination of compressed air in the pressure tank 5.
  • Pressure of compressed air in the pressure tank 5 is measured by a pressure sensor 8 to generate a pressure signal which is transmitted to a control 9 which has a determining portion 10 for determining the number of operating compressors and a selecting portion 11 for starting and stopping any of the compressors. Based on the pressure signal measured by the pressure sensor 8, the determining portion 10 determines the number of the operating compressors 1. Generally, the operating compressors are determined depending on the pressure signal between predetermined upper and lower limits.
  • each of the compressors 1 has approximately the same capability, and the pressure between the upper and lower limits are divided into pressure levels which are equal to the compressors 1 in number.
  • the measured pressure signal is out of desired pressure level and reaches to the boundary of the pressure levels, thereby changing the number of the operating compressors 1.
  • the measured pressure signal increases and reaches to pressure level higher than desired pressure level by one stage. Then, the number which is subtracted by one from the number of the operating compressors 1 is determined as a new number of operating compressors. Meanwhile, the pressure signal decreases and reaches to pressure level lower than desired pressure level by one stage. Then, the number which is added by one to the number of the operating compressors 1 is determined as a new number of operating compressors.
  • a signal of the number determined in the determining portion 10 is transmitted to the selecting portion 11 that selects which compressors start or stop.
  • the selection is carried out with predetermined order of starting and stopping.
  • numeric order may be allotted to the compressors 1 which start and stop in the order. By the numeric order, any of the compressors 1 equally start and stop to avoid disadvantage that a specific compressor frequently starts and stops or is operating for a long time.
  • Fig. 2 is a graph that illustrates changes in pressure to the operating compressors 1 when the eight compressors 1 such as C 1 to C 8 are controlled.
  • Compressed air in the pressure tank 5 between the lower limit such as 0.6 MPa and the upper limit such as 0.7 MPa is divided in pressure into eight stages which are equal to the compressors 1 in number to determine each pressure level.
  • the lower and upper limits are set to level 0 and level 8/8 respectively, and 1/8 to 8/8 are set therebetween by dividing equally. Also, for example, desired pressure levels are set to 1/8 to 2/8. Continuous Nos. 1 to 8 are allotted to the eight compressors 1.
  • a stop signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 4 for the compressor No.4 (C 4 ) via the operating portion 12 to stop the compressor No.4.
  • the five compressors No.1 and Nos. 5 to 8 still run.
  • a stop signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 5 for the compressor No.5 (C 5 ) via the operating portion 12 to stop the compressor No.5.
  • the four compressors No.1 and Nos. 6 to 8 still run.
  • a stop signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 6 for the compressor No.6 (C 6 ), which stops.
  • the three compressors Nos. 1, 7 and 8 still run.
  • a stop signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 7 for the compressor No.7 (C 7 ) via the operating portion 12 to stop the compressor No.7.
  • the two compressors Nos. 1 and 8 still run.
  • a stop signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 8 for the compressor No.8 (C 8 ) via the operating portion 12 to stop the compressor No.8. Only the compressor No.1 still runs.
  • a stop signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 1 for the compressor No.1 (C 1 ), which stops. All the compressors do not run.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 2 for the compressor No.2 (C 2 ) which secondly stops, via the operating portion 12, to start the compressor No.2.
  • the seven compressors No. 1 and Nos. 2 to 8 do not run yet.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 3 for the compressor No.3 (C 3 ) which thirdly stops, via the operating portion 12, to start the compressor No.3.
  • the compressors No. 1 and Nos.4 to 8 do not run yet.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 4 for the compressor No.4 (C 4 ) which stops fourthly, via the operating portion 12 to start the compressor No.4.
  • the five compressors No.1 and Nos. 5 to 8 do not run.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 5 for the compressor No.5 (C 5 ) which stops fifthly, via the operating portion 12 to start the compressor No.5.
  • the compressors No.1 and Nos.6 to 8 do not run yet.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 6 for the compressor No. 6 (C 6 ) which stops sixthly, via the operating portion 12 to start the compressor No.6.
  • the three compressors Nos. 1, 7 and 8 do not run.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 7 for the compressor No.7 (C 7 ) which stops seventhly, via the operating portion 12 to start the compressor No.7.
  • the two compressors Nos. 1 and 8 do not run yet.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to the electromagnetic switch E 8 for the compressor No.8 (C 8 ) which stops eighthly, via the operating portion to start the compressor No.8. Only the. compressor No. 1 does not run yet.
  • a start signal is transmitted from the control 9 to electromagnetic switch E 1 for the compressor No.1 (C 1 ) which stops ninthly, via the operating portion 12 to start the compressor No.1. All the compressors Nos. 1 to 8 run, and there is no compressor that does not run.
