Application of 6920V Frequency Converter in Lifting Inclined Shaft

Mine hoisting includes vertical shaft hoisting and inclined shaft hoisting. Mine hoisting machine is the key equipment for mine production, which is known as the mine's "throat".

I. Overview

Mine hoisting includes vertical shaft hoisting and inclined shaft hoisting. Mine hoisting machine is the key equipment for mine production, which is known as the mine's "throat". It is responsible for the promotion and decentralization of mine ores, waste rock, equipment, materials, personnel, etc. It occupies a very important position in mine production.

A group company's 3-2 orebody inclined shaft hoist adopts the traditional AC speed regulation method of rotor winding string resistance. The speed regulation method has the following problems: First, more electromagnetic relays are used, and the time for troubleshooting is long. After a long period of operation, the failure rate is high, which not only has high repair costs, but also affects the amount of ore; second, the level of automation of the lift control is low, the noise during operation is high, the temperature of the lift room is high, the lift driver is easily fatigued, and the labor intensity is large; third When heavy weights are continuously lifted at low speed, the resistance generates severe heat and often burns the resistance connection, which consumes a large amount of energy. Fourth, the speed adjustment is stepped, which has a large mechanical impact on the wire rope and reducer.

2. Transformation plan and system composition

The frequency conversion circuit includes: knife switch, circuit breaker, frequency converter, contactor at the lower end of the frequency converter, energy feedback unit. The energy feedback unit forms a cabinet.

Control loop: Mainly composed of main PLC control, auxiliary PLC control, touch screen, relay auxiliary control, and operation console. Among them, the main PLC control and the auxiliary PLC control are mutually master and backup, the relay auxiliary control, the main and auxiliary PLC control are installed in the same control cabinet, and the touch screen is installed on the operating table as the upper computer. The encoder is installed on the motor and reel as position and speed feedback signals. The speed measuring encoder signal installed on the motor is fed back to the inverter to form PG vector control. Another encoder signal is fed back to the PLC to make speed and position calculations. Speed measuring motor signal, oil temperature and oil pressure signal and other digital signals enter the PLC system

3. Working principle

1 Functions in four states: system stop, manual, automatic and sliding

Stop: In this state, the system stops working, all operations cannot be performed, and the winch is in the brake brake state;

Manual: In this state, when the system meets the requirements for safe operation, according to the parameters displayed on the instrument and touch screen, the master controller performs the normal manual operation of the winch up and down.

Automatic: In this state, the up and down buttons automatically complete the entire process of up and down. When it is halfway through, it can be manually stopped by the stop button and restarted by the up and down buttons.

Sliding: When the system has a serious fault and cannot perform the upward and downward operations normally, the function switch should be switched to this position, and the winch can be slid to the determined position by the main command controller.

Through the double PLC digital control technology, the two-wire winch protection and control specified in the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations" has been realized. The two-wire winch protection and control has the following characteristics:

(1) The speed regulation accuracy is high, the speed regulation range is wide, and the speed regulation accuracy is not less than 0.05%.

(2) Two-wire system protection: A hardware safety circuit and two software safety circuits are mutually redundant, making the system safer and more reliable.

(3) Two-wire system control: during normal operation, due to the mutual monitoring of the dual PLC system, they are redundant. When one of the PLC systems fails, the other PLC system can still be put into emergency driving, which improves the reliability of the winch system.

2 Protection and chain function

2.1 During safety braking, cooperate with the safety valve of the hydraulic station to make the hoist achieve first-level or second-level braking, and at the same time, the inverter enters the feedback braking state.

2.2 In any case, the hoist can only be operated after the driver receives the driving signal.

2.3 When the lubricating oil pressure is too high or too low, the lubricating oil filter or the oil filter of the hydraulic station is blocked or the oil temperature is high, the corresponding fault information is displayed on the touch screen, and the corresponding information lamp is lit to inform the driver This lifting work can be completed, and the driver is allowed to perform the next lifting work only after the fault is removed.

2.4 When the hoist is stopped halfway due to a fault, and the lifting container is located in the deceleration section stroke, after removing the fault, the driver is allowed to choose to drive according to the previous driving direction, and can only drive at a low speed: if the lifting container is not in the deceleration stroke, the wellhead A driving signal is issued to allow the driver to drive at high speed.

2.5 When the whole mine is powered off, the PLC system ensures that the hoist can achieve second-level braking, and the backup protection of the hoist is well done.

2.6 The working braking torque of the disc brake is adjustable. Emergency braking (safety braking) can generate secondary braking to avoid mechanical shock.

3 Stroke control function

The stroke control is completed by the PLC system, which mainly divides the hoisting process of the hoist into stroke sections with different lifting speed requirements. According to the actual situation of each stroke interval and different speed requirements, change the speed setpoint of the inverter, and form a closed loop to smoothly adjust the lifting speed of the elevator: stroke control not only controls the speed of the entire lifting stroke process of the elevator, but also controls the elevator Parking and braking process. Stroke control can prevent accidents such as over-winding, over-discharging, derailment and overturning of the hoist, and is especially suitable for special inclined shafts with bends and forks.

4 Brake control function

The normal braking of the hoist has feedback braking, holding brake and other methods. The realization of the feedback braking is to introduce the inverter link in the DC link of the AC-AC voltage inverter. When the actual operating speed of the hoist is higher than the given operating speed, the motor is equivalent to a generator, the DC link voltage increases, provides energy to the inverter and feeds back to the grid, and the motor automatically runs in the braking state

state. In order to achieve the purpose of accurate stop of the inverter, it can well prevent mechanical shock and rapid decline. The holding brake is generally used during parking. When it reaches the parking position, the stroke controller sends a stop signal to the inverter, and at the same time, sends a holding brake control signal to the holding brake to implement the holding brake. When an accident such as derailment occurs, the operation control implements emergency brake braking.

The feedback braking method adopted by this system, during the braking process, the hoist runs smoothly, and the braking energy is fed back to the net, which has a certain energy saving effect. 6920V braking sequence is as follows

Main technical principles

   (1) Adopt all digital speed sensor closed-loop vector control to make the system speed range wide and speed precision high. When the inverter is running at low frequency, it also ensures that the rated torque output is more than 150%. The maximum torque is twice the rated torque. The basic principle of vector control is to measure and control the stator current vector of the asynchronous motor. According to the field orientation principle, the excitation current and torque current of the asynchronous motor are controlled respectively, so as to achieve asynchronous control. Purpose of motor torque. Specifically, the stator current vector of the asynchronous motor is decomposed into a current component that generates a magnetic field (excitation current) and a current component that generates a torque (torque current), and the amplitude and phase of the two components are controlled at the same time, that is, control Stator current vector, this control method is called vector control method. In this way, a three-phase asynchronous motor can be controlled as a DC motor, so the same static and dynamic performance as the DC speed control system can be obtained.
