Therefore, need a kind of control to be used for discharging the improving one's methods of pumping unit of fluid, and the improving one's methods of starting of control pump equipment particularly, it has overcome the above-mentioned shortcoming of prior art.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of control improving one's methods for the pumping unit of discharging fluid, it has realized repeating and detecting accurately of the fluid levels that increases, make and discharge fluid so that when avoiding overflow when needs, pumping unit is started reliably, the number of times that has limited simultaneously the unnecessary of pumping unit and do not expected to start.
By the method with the feature that limits is provided, this purpose and other purposes have been realized according to the present invention in independent claims.Define in the dependent claims preferred embodiment.
According to a first aspect of the invention, provide a kind of control to be used for the method for the pumping unit of discharge fluid.The method comprising the steps of: hot part is provided, and described heat part is suitable for being thermally coupled to described fluid to be at fluid or to allow heat transmission between it during higher than certain fluid levels; Monitor the temperature parameter of the temperature of the described heat part of reflection, described temperature parameter comprises the temperature value of the temperature of described heat part; Calculate the cooling rate value, described calculating is included in the comparison between at least two temperature values that different time measures; The execution pumping operation is analyzed, described pumping operation analysis comprise current cooling rate value with reference to the comparison between the cooling rate value, describedly represent described heat specific cooling rate partly with reference to the cooling rate value; And if described cooling rate value equals or exceeds describedly with reference to the cooling rate value, start pumping operation to discharge described fluid.
Described heat part can be the part of pumping unit, perhaps can be connected to pumping unit.And the cooling rate value makes the cooling rate value corresponding to the heat transmission from the heat part to its surrounding environment therefore based at least two temperature values measuring at different time, comprises its thermal coupling fluid, the cooling degree of instant heating part.The cooling rate value in addition can be based at least two accounting temperature values, based on the temperature value of measuring at different time.Especially, the cooling rate value can be based on two temperature values, and it is the average temperature value at a plurality of temperature values of different time measurement.In addition, with reference to the specific cooling rate of cooling rate value representative corresponding to the fluid levels rising of fluid.In other words, the rising of fluid levels increases hot partial circuit cooling effect, causes the increase of cooling rate.Therefore, select with reference to the cooling rate value to represent that described fluid levels increase namely is thermally coupled to the increase of the amount of heat fluid partly corresponding to the specific cooling rate of the heat transmission that comes the self-heating part of the increase of reflection fluid levels or rising.
According to a second aspect of the invention, provide the control apparatus that is used for controlling the pumping unit that is used for discharging fluid, described equipment comprises hot part, and described heat part is suitable for being in or being thermally coupled to described fluid during higher than certain fluid levels at fluid; The first temperature transducer, described the first temperature transducer are used for monitoring the temperature of described heat part, and described the first temperature transducer is suitable for providing the temperature sensor signal of the temperature that represents the heat part; And controller, described controller is suitable for applying control signal to connecting pumping unit, and described controller also is suitable for calculating cooling rate according to the first temperature sensor signal of different time based at least two temperature values in different time measurements; The execution pumping operation is analyzed, described pumping operation analysis comprise current cooling rate value with reference to the comparison between the cooling rate value, describedly represent described heat specific cooling rate partly with reference to the cooling rate value; And if described cooling rate value equals or exceeds describedly with reference to the cooling rate value, apply control signal to start pumping operation to discharge described fluid to connecting pumping unit.
According to a third aspect of the invention we, provide a kind of pumping system, it comprises pumping unit and according to the control apparatus of second aspect.
Therefore, realized controlling the method for the pumping unit that is used for the discharge fluid, described method comprises the starting of pumping operation, due to the service-strong thermometry rather than use mechanical pick-up device such as level sensor (it may be hindered by the object in fluid, for example when fluid is the fluid of waste water or other contain materials), compared with prior art, it can be more steadily and detects repeatedly the fluid levels that increases.In addition, due to change or the variation of starting conditions based on temperature, cooling rate more precisely, rather than may be easy to be subject to the static temperature value of the impact of many source of errors, the method also detects the fluid levels that increases rapidly and reliably.Therefore, cooling rate (calculating from measured hot portion temperature value) responds the fluid levels that increases rapidly.
In other words, the step of temperature parameter that monitors the temperature of reflect heat part is included in during at least a portion of time continuously or with regular interval or measure temperature parameter with irregular spacing.In the operation period of pumping unit, this interval can be that be scheduled to or adjustable and/or adaptable.In other words, the step of calculating the cooling rate value comprises based at least the first temperature value and the second temperature value calculates the cooling rate value, and wherein, the first and second temperature values are in time in turn or continuously, for example one after the other measure.The calculating of cooling rate comprises comparison and/or poor calculating of at least two temperature values.In other words, the step of execution pumping operation analysis can comprise institute's calculating cooling rate value and compare with reference to the cooling rate value.In other words, select with reference to the cooling rate value to represent the predetermined cool down rate of the heat part of advancing the speed corresponding to fluid levels.
Therefore, the present invention is based on such understanding, the ascending fluid level of the fluid that namely will discharge provides cooling effect, and to go speed and fluid levels to exist between rising relevant cold, and it can be used for monitoring fluid levels.And, also there is such understanding, namely this relevant can being used for is not detected the ascending fluid level at pump when operating.In other words, the present invention is based on such understanding, namely can select with reference to the cooling rate value detecting reliably and exactly the ascending fluid level, so as when fluid levels to rise priming pump equipment or start pumping operation to discharge fluid.Therefore, by calculate the cooling rate value and with its with compare with reference to the cooling rate value, the fluid levels rising can be detected.The cooling rate value is based on being arranged to be thermally coupled to the heat thermometry partly that fluid transmits with the heat that allows between it.As can be appreciated, heat part is furnished with at least temperature higher than fluid temperature (F.T.) to allow the cooling in order to the cooling rate value is provided of heat part.Preferably, the heat part is furnished with the temperature higher than described fluid temperature (F.T.), in order to provide or guarantee to be enough to calculate the temperature difference of the cooling rate value that represents that fluid levels rises.
For given fluid temperature (F.T.), the indication of the low reference fluid level in the time of can being chosen as pumping unit and being suitable for starting pumping operation with reference to the cooling rate value.In other words, because the cooling rate value can reflect heat transfer rate between fluid and heat part, the cooling rate value can be relevant to the speed that fluid levels is increasing.For example, the quick increase of fluid levels causes a large amount of fluids (having the temperature lower than the heat part) and heat part to carry out thermo-contact, causes the fast reducing of hot portion temperature, i.e. high cooling rate value.Therefore can make that to accuse cooling rate relevant to the quick increase of fluid levels, and can from but the indication of high fluid levels.Therefore, the indication of that limit or the predetermined fluid levels of the user in the time of can being chosen as pumping unit and will discharging fluid with reference to the cooling rate value, the fluid levels when being about to start the pumping operation of pumping unit.In other words, can realize reliably and the repeatably method for the pumping unit of control to be used for discharging fluid, it can control pump equipment, makes that the serviceability temperature sensor limits the user or predetermined fluid levels place start pumping operation.
