Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for sensorless detection of malfunctions of a positive displacement pump, wherein the positive displacement pump has a movable displacement element with an interface which limits a dosing, wherein the dosing chamber is connected via valves with a suction and discharge line, so that by an oscillating movement of Displacement element alternately conveying fluid can be sucked via the suction line into the dosing and pressed through the pressure line from the dosing, wherein a stepping motor is provided as a drive for oscillating movement of the displacer.
- a surface of a movable displacer element limits a metering space as an interface.
- the displacer and with it the interface of the metering chamber can be moved back and forth between two extreme positions. As a result, the volume of the dosing is increased or decreased.
- the respective position of the interface thus determines the current volume of the dosing. In the first extreme position of the interface, the volume of the metering chamber is minimal while in the second extreme position it is maximum. Thus, if the interface moves from its first extreme position to the second position, the volume of the dosing space is thereby increased or the pressure in the dosing space drops.
- the resulting negative pressure leads to a closing of the valve between the metering chamber and the pressure line and to an opening of the valve between the metering chamber and the suction line, so that the conveying fluid is sucked into the metering chamber via the suction line.
- the volume of the dosing chamber is reduced again or the pressure in the dosing chamber increases.
- This overpressure closes the valve between the dosing chamber and the suction line while the valve between the dosing chamber and the pressure line is opened.
- the overpressure in the metering chamber conveys the conveying fluid from the metering chamber into the pressure line.
- a stepper motor as a drive for the oscillating movement serve a displacement element.
- a stepping motor generally has a rotor, ie a rotatable motor part with shaft.
- the rotor can be rotated by a controlled stepwise rotating electromagnetic field of a plurality of stator coils, ie, a plurality of coils arranged on a non-rotatable motor part, by a minimum angle or a step or a multiple thereof.
- This rotational movement is translated by means of a connecting rod or the like in a translational movement for alternately reciprocating the displacer element.
- stepper motors in the form of linear motors are known in which by means of electromagnetic force generation directly a stepwise translation movement of a movable motor part between two extreme positions is generated, which can be transmitted directly to a displacer.
- the two extreme positions of the displacer element generally correspond to the two extreme positions of the movable motor part.
- Stepper motors are characterized in particular by a high degree of robustness and a long service life. Since stepper motors move in individual steps or multiples thereof, it is possible in principle for the motor or control electronics to count the steps and to determine an actual rotor position based thereon. However, a mechanical load of the motor leads to the formation of a so-called load angle, i. to a deviation between the rotation of the electromagnetic field of the stator and the mechanical rotation of the rotor.
- static load angle is the angle that the rotor of a stepper motor is opposite to the electromagnetic detent position, i. the main direction of the electromagnetic field generated by the stator coil, is rotated under a statically acting torque.
- the dynamic load angle is the angle by which the rotating rotor is at a certain point in time away from the electromagnetic detent position given by the last pulse of the step clock.
- the movement of the rotor in the electromagnetic field of the stator coils causes in these coils a counter-induced voltage, the so-called back EMF.
- the back EMF is superimposed with the voltage applied to the coils, thereby producing a phase shift between the rotor and stator rotating field that corresponds to the magnitude of the back EMF.
- the rotor lags behind the electromagnetic rotating field of the stator, wherein the phase shift is proportional to the applied load. If the applied load torque exceeds a critical value, then the stepping motor falls out of step, ie it disengages. In the extreme case, it comes to a standstill of the engine.
- Position detection therefore typically takes place in stepper motor drives by means of a reference signal, for example by means of a Hall sensor.
- a reference signal for example by means of a Hall sensor.
- a small permanent magnet is attached to the output shaft of the drive.
- a fixed Hall sensor generates a signal when passing the magnet in a certain angular position of the shaft.
- an absolute position per revolution is detected, which can be compared with a position assumed in the control.
- this can lead to problems with the dosing accuracy in partial strokes or cycles when using the stepper motor as a drive for a positive displacement pump. At a standstill of the stepping motor due to excessive loads, this leads to the fact that the conveying function fails despite activation of the drive unit.
- the Hubperiodendauer which is identical to the cycle time of the rotor can be determined. From this Hubperiodendauer can be concluded that a trouble-free flow of dosing. In the event of delays or even a blockage of the dosing stroke due to overpressure situations, the signal from the Hall sensor will remain off or be delayed. This failure or delay can be used as a basis for generating a fault message and for making further responses. However, this information is always only after the expiration of a monitoring interval, i. in general a circulation time of the rotor or a Pumpzylus ago.
- an additional position sensor is used in the prior art, which determines the speed or position of the displacer in relation to the control of the motor at each time of Dosierhubs and can detect a blockage virtually instantaneously.
- an additional position sensor complicates the construction of the pump system, making it more prone to failure and more expensive.
- a stepper motor is used to drive a positive displacement pump
- the load applied to the drive is essentially given by the back pressure of the delivery fluid in the metering space, which counteracts the displacement element.
- this backpressure is measured according to the prior art by means of additional sensors, for example by means of a pressure sensor arranged in the dosing head.
- additional sensors for example by means of a pressure sensor arranged in the dosing head.
- such an additional sensor in turn complicates the structure of the pump system and due to its necessary arrangement in the dosing head leads in particular to additional sealing problems and additional costs.
- the DE 100 33 992 describes a conveying device with a current-controlled motor, in which the current supplied to the motor is limited according to the expected engine load depending on the stroke position of the working machine.
- the WO 2012/066090 describes a method and a control device for variable-speed control of a positive displacement pump unit.
- the DE 10 2010 003 218 describes a method for controlling and / or regulating a metering pump.
- this object is achieved in that an engine torque provided by the stepping motor is determined and, if the determined motor torque M M fulfills a first predetermined criterion, a warning signal is output.
- the engine torque satisfies a first predetermined criterion associated with a quantity characterizing the transition from the normal state of the engine to an overload condition, i. a corresponding engine-specific value, it can be detected on the basis of the issued warning signal such an overload condition. Based on this further follow-up action can be initiated.
- the first predetermined criterion may be directly related to the engine torque provided, i. be a certain value for the engine torque, as well as an indirect criterion, i. From a determined value for the engine torque further quantities are derived, to which the criterion is to be referred.
- a sensorless detection in the sense of the present invention means that neither within the dosing head of the positive displacement pump nor within the stepping motor, ie in the region of its moving components, a corresponding sensor is provided.
- the stepper motor can be designed both with and without a gear.
- the gross drive force applied to the displacer element can be determined for a known positive displacement pump on the basis of a suitable model of the drive kinematics in normal operation.
- the rotational movement of the stepping motor is translated by means of a push rod in a translational movement. Due to losses, this translational force or rod force applied to the displacer element is, in principle, smaller than the engine torque provided by the engine.
- This bar force represents the gross drive force for the displacer in the translation direction.
- the net drive force F n actually transmitted to the conveyance fluid by the translational movements of the displacer between a first and a second extreme position generally differs, in turn, from the gross drive force F b provided .
- the transmitted net drive force F n is smaller. This is due to the additional power requirement for other components of the positive displacement pump, which are also involved in the mechanics. However, the influence of these components can usually be assumed to be known, so that the net drive power remaining for the conveying process can be determined taking these losses into account.
- the net drive force F n transmitted to the conveying fluid comprises both a pressure force applied to the conveying fluid when generating an overpressure and a pulling force when generating a negative pressure.
- the boundary surface A G represents the active surface of the displacement element acting on the conveying medium.
- the size of the boundary surface A G is known by design. It is understood that in the case of an elastically deformable displacement element, if appropriate, temporary changes in the interface A G , ie an effective interface instead of the structurally given static boundary surface, must be taken into account. However, the need for such additional corrections depends significantly on the accuracy of the measurements to be met. If a supplied maximum or minimum value for the current delivery pressure is sufficient, it is advisable to use only the maximum or minimum value of the effective interface for A G possible within a funding period, without taking into account the actual current value.
- the above-mentioned quantities can be taken into account, for example, by the predetermined criterion in that the criterion is based on the gross drive force F b , the net drive force F n or the delivery pressure p F and is calculated back from the respective value to a corresponding threshold for the engine torque.
- This calculated threshold for the engine torque can be used as a predetermined criterion. The criterion then applies is met if the calculated threshold value is reached or exceeded as the upper threshold value or is reached or undershot as the lower threshold value.
- a gross drive force F b a net drive force F n or a delivery pressure p F calculated for this engine torque and the first predetermined criterion as a threshold value for the calculated size are used. If the calculated quantity fulfills this criterion, ie if it exceeds or falls below or exceeds this threshold value, then a warning signal is output.
- This second alternative is particularly advantageous if one or more of these additional variables are to be used for a further analysis of the behavior of the positive displacement pump.
- the operating or functional state of the positive displacement pump can be more accurately characterized and monitored.
- the stepping motor and disorders of other components of the pump system can be detected.
- Conceivable for example, malfunction sensitive components due to excessive pressure, which is not so high that it comes to malfunction of the stepping motor. If the delivery pressure is determined, it can be determined whether such problems threaten or even exist. Furthermore, it can be concluded from a drop in the delivery pressure, for example, a leak.
- a warning signal is issued when the gross drive force F b , the net drive force F n, or the delivery pressure p F meets the first predetermined criterion.
- the respective criterion is chosen such that a warning signal is output when the corresponding quantity of the group consisting of the engine torque M M , the gross drive force F b , the net drive force F n and the delivery pressure p F reaches a first predetermined threshold or exceeds or the corresponding size reaches or falls below a second predetermined threshold.
- an interval for the variables to be monitored can be defined, which represents the desired working range of the positive displacement pump in normal operation. If this predetermined interval is left out, then it is possible to conclude that the system is malfunctioning, be it the stepper motor or the positive displacement pump. Exceeding the first threshold generally allows the conclusion to an overload situation, whereas falling below the second threshold, for example, suggests a pressure drop due to a leak or a malfunction in the stepper motor itself. In the latter case, sufficient torque is no longer provided by the engine, indicating a malfunction independent of the load situation.
- the first criterion is selected such that a warning signal is output if a weighted sum of the relative deviations of the engine torque M M and at least one further variable from the group consisting of the gross drive force F b , the net drive force F n and the delivery pressure p F reaches or exceeds a predetermined value from a respective threshold.
- the respective relative deviation from a threshold value is detected for at least two variables. These at least two deviations are summed up weighted. If the weighted sum reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, then the criterion is satisfied and a warning signal is output.
- the motor torque M M of the stepping motor is detected by determining the phase shift of the motor voltage U M relative to the motor current I M , which is caused by a voltage U ind counter-induced due to the load angle ⁇ L of the stepping motor.
- the rotation of the rotor in the electromagnetic field generated by the stator results in a counter-induced voltage, ie back EMF, in the stator coils.
- the back EMF causes a phase shift of the effective motor voltage relative to the motor or coil current.
- the corresponding currents rush the voltages by a certain phase angle.
- the load angle more specifically the dynamic load angle
- the back EMF changes and, as a result, the back EMF. That is, the phase angle between motor current and motor voltage also changes, with the phase shift between current and voltage generally decreasing with increasing load.
- the phase shift between motor voltage and motor current is thus correlated with the load angle and allows it to be determined.
- Such a picking up of motor current and motor voltage by means of the engine electronics, which thus additionally serves as a corresponding detection device, represents a sensorless detection in the sense of the present invention.
- the gross drive force F b applied by the stepper motor to the displacer element is determined based on a model of the drive kinematics of the stepper motor and the displacer element.
- the known structure of the pump system consisting of a stepping motor and displacer element makes it possible to use a corresponding model of the drive kinematics.
- a model describes, in particular, the conversion of the rotational movement of the stepping motor into the translatory movement transmitted to the displacer element.
- this model naturally simplifies to a simple direct relationship, which essentially depends on possible friction losses.
- the positive displacement pump is a metering pump, preferably a diaphragm pump with a displacement element in the form of a metering diaphragm.
- a metering pump is a positive displacement pump that delivers defined volumes per stroke or per time independent of the pressure ratios at the inlet and outlet of the metering pump.
- a dosing pump designed as a diaphragm pump is characterized in particular by its insensitivity to continuous stress and impurities in the conveying fluid.
- the drive is shielded from contamination in the conveying fluid and thus one of the major disadvantages of conventional piston pumps, namely the problem of sealing the piston solved.
- the method described here for sensorless detection of malfunction offers, in particular in the case of a diaphragm pump.
- additional sensors generally cause sealing problems. Accordingly, when using appropriate Sensors in a diaphragm pump the risk that the desired leak-tightness advantage of the diaphragm pump is negated by the use of the sensors again.
- the net driving force F n applied to the conveying fluid is determined from the gross driving force F b by subtracting force components not directly applied to the conveying fluid, in particular by subtracting the deformation force F v necessary to deform the dosing diaphragm and / or a force necessary to tension a spring element Force F F , by means of which the Dosiermembran can be biased in the direction of printing position or in the opposite direction.
- the net driving force F n applied to the conveying fluid account must be taken of the power requirement for those components of the pump involved in the mechanism for transmitting power to the conveying fluid.
- the spring element can generally be designed both as a return spring and as a lifting support.
- the spring element is clamped when a pressure force is applied to the conveying fluid from the stepping motor.
- a portion of the gross drive force F b provided by the stepper motor is used for biasing the return spring and thus the dosing diaphragm in the direction of printing position. If the direction of movement of the displacer element or of the metering membrane is subsequently reversed, so that the volume of the metering space is increased again, the prestressed restoring spring relaxes. In this case, the tensile force applied to the conveying fluid is increased by delivery of the stored clamping energy.
- a pumping cycle means the time required for the displacer element to return to it from an extreme position.
- a first extreme position of the displacement element is a position in which the volume of the dosing space is minimal, while a second extreme position is one in which the volume is maximum.
- a plurality of criteria are predetermined and, if a criterion is met, a warning signal characteristic of the respective criterion is output.
- a first criterion can only serve as an indicator for a specific operating state of the positive displacement pump without this already implying a malfunction. If another criterion is met, this can be a shift in the operating state, for example from normal operation to overload range. A third criterion may indicate an operation outside the normal state and thus possible malfunctions. Finally, a fourth criterion can characterize a serious malfunction requiring immediate action.
- each criterion is associated with an error event and, if a criterion is met, an associated error event is diagnosed, in particular an overload and / or a stall of the engine.
- the criteria for different severity levels may be and identify, with overload or even stoppage of the stepper motor generally presenting the most severe disturbances.
- an undershooting of one or more threshold values may also indicate a malfunction of the stepping motor itself or, for example, a pressure drop due to a leak.
- an output warning signal is sent to an automatic shutdown, which turns off the pump in response to receiving the warning signal.
- Such an automatic shutdown is particularly advantageous if the warning signal is output on the basis of a criterion which represents a serious malfunction of the pump, for example an overload or a stoppage of the stepping motor.
- the criterion may be a predetermined delivery pressure, wherein the pump is switched off when this threshold is exceeded by the determined delivery pressure.
- overload protection in the form of monitoring of threshold crossings serves to protect the positive displacement pump as well as other components of the systems in which such positive displacement pumps are usually used.
- the threshold value may be the constructively permissible maximum pressure for the positive displacement pump or a value just above the maximum pressure, ie, for example, 10% to 20% above.
- the maximum pressure is the maximum pressure at which the stepper motor can be operated without the risk of step losses.
- the threshold value can also be within the permissible working range of the displacement pump in order to protect, for example, other pressure-sensitive system parts which are already at lower pressures than the maximum pressure permissible for the stepper motor.
- a shutdown can also be carried out due to a significant pressure drop due to a leak.
- an output warning signal is sent to an output device which, in response to receipt of the warning signal, outputs an audible and / or visual warning indicative of the warning signal.
- Such a warning can generally serve to display the current operating state to the outside.
- an acute warning he can direct the attention of a person responsible for the operation of the system, and in particular the pump, to an acute malfunction and bring about the initiation of further measures.
- Such indications can be, for example, signal lights arranged in the region of the pump, which indicate the operating state or the malfunction of the pump during an on-site inspection. The lights can, if different lights are provided for different operating conditions, advantageously be kept in different colors.
- a normal operating state, a state deviating from the normal operating state and a malfunctioning or critical operating state may be indicated by means of different colors, for example green, orange and red.
- the display can be done in more complex systems but also via a central display unit, such as a monitor.
- a central display unit such as a monitor.
- an acoustic warning is advantageous. This is not dependent on the gaze of the target person whose attention is to be drawn.
- a positive displacement pump 1 in the form of a designed as a diaphragm pump metering pump with a dosing 2.
- a dosing 3 is arranged in the dosing 2 in the dosing 2 .
- This metering chamber 3 is bounded by inner side walls 4 of the metering head 2 and an interface A G of the displacement element 5 designed as a metering diaphragm.
- the metering chamber 3 is connected via valves 8, 9 with a suction and a pressure line 6 and 7 respectively.
- the metering diaphragm 3 is movably connected via a connecting element 10 to a push rod (not shown).
- the push rod is seated on the rotor (not shown) of a stepper motor 13, with or without gears.
- This push rod converts the rotational movement of the rotor in a translational movement of the connecting element 10 and the membrane 5 between two extreme positions E 1 , E 2 .
- Between dosing 2 and push rod is around the connecting element 10 around a spring element 12, more precisely a return spring or lifting support arranged.
- the dosing membrane 5 is moved from a first, extreme right position E 1 (indicated by dashed lines) into a second, left E 2 (shown by solid lines), the dosing space 3 increases, as a result of which a negative pressure is created.
- the valve 9 closes the pressure line 7 and the valve 8 of the suction line 6 opens.
- the conveying fluid F is sucked out of the suction line 6 into the dosing chamber 3 and at the same time, as a result of the movement of the connecting element 10, the spring element 12 is prestressed as a lifting assistance in the case of an embodiment.
- the spring element 12 may be formed as a return spring, wherein the return spring 12 is biased in a movement of the connecting element 10 of the second E2 in the first extreme position E1.
- the return spring 12 supports with the spring force F F stored in it in the form of tension energy a return movement from the first E 1 to the second extreme position E 2 .
- a movement of the diaphragm 5 in the first extreme position E 1 leads to a reduction of the volume of the metering chamber 3, whereby an overpressure is generated.
- the valve 8 closes the suction line 6 and the valve 9 of the pressure line 7 opens.
- the delivery fluid F present in the metering chamber 3 is pressed into the pressure line 7.
- the stepping motor 13 with a rotor and a stator functions properly and is not overloaded in particular, the rotor, following the electromagnetic stator rotating field, progressively passes through a plurality of discrete detent positions at a constant speed. Accordingly, the dosing diaphragm 5 is alternately alternately reciprocated between the two extreme positions E 1 , E 2 , which leads to a constant delivery of the delivery fluid F with predetermined dosing accuracy.
- both the gross driving force F b applied to the displacing element 5 and the net driving force F n applied to the conveying fluid F and the delivery pressure p F can be determined.
- the determination of these delivery quantities takes place by means of a determination device 14 as a component of the engine electronics.
- the engine electronics 14 controls the stepper motor 13 so that the actually generated engine torque M M corresponds to the specified.
- the generated engine torque M M can be determined by means of the determination device 14 and compared with the desired value S.
- This comparison between the desired value S and the determined engine torque M M can serve as the basis for the detection and reporting of a malfunction in accordance with a predetermined criterion.
- it is generally conceivable that such an adjustment is used to control the engine torque M M by means of the engine electronics 14 so that it corresponds to the desired value S or within a predetermined interval to the setpoint S.
- a visual warning message can be output on the basis of this warning signal which reproduces the operating state of the metering pump 1, which is characterized by this criterion, outwardly.
- the operating state to be displayed may, for example, be the normal operation of the pump 1 if the criterion is the torque provided for the pump 1 as the desired value S in normal operation. However, it may also be an operation in the increased load range if the criterion is, for example, a threshold value in the form of a torque which is at the upper end of the range permissible for the pump.
- the criterion is a torque value above the maximum value allowed for the stepper motor 13.
- the criterion as well as the operating state associated with it can also be dependent on other components of the pump 1 or the system in which the pump 1 is arranged. Is directed to such other components, so is particularly recommended a criterion which takes into account the signals generated by the provided motor torque M M conveying pressure p F.
- a stricter criterion than the maximum value can be provided for the engine torque M M.
- an independent criterion to be applied to the engine torque M M as well as to the delivery pressure p F independently of one another.
- a weighted sum of the deviation between the two values ie the engine torque M M and the delivery pressure p F , can also be formed from a respective threshold value.
- an automatic switch-off switches off the pump 1 upon receipt of a corresponding warning, in order to avoid damage to the system as well as consequential problems due to erroneous dosages.
- the determination of the provided motor torque M M is carried out by a detection means 14 of the motor electronics UI is evaluated between the motor voltage U M and Motor current I M based on a counter electromotive force measuring on the stepping motor 13, in which the phase shift ⁇ .
- a Such evaluation based on electrical measurements of the engine electronics 14 of the stepper motor 13 has the advantage that no additional sensors are necessary.
- the measurement advantageously takes place in interval steps corresponding to the step size of the stepping motor 13, whereby a precise monitoring of the dosing accuracy even in partial strokes or cycles is possible.
