[

In addition, the present invention may use a sensor for sensing the open and closed states of the opening and closing part 11 as the sensing part 12, by operating various mechanisms.

The measuring unit 14 measures a force acting on the opening / closing unit 11 by the operating unit 13.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the measuring unit 14 may include a load sensor for measuring a load by the operating unit 13.

However, (15) or disposed between the other end of the spring and the sensing part (12) to measure the elastic force by the spring. That is, the measuring unit 14 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be disposed at various positions as long as the force applied by the operating unit 13 to the opening and closing unit 11 is measured.

In addition to the load cells, various types of sensors may be used as the measuring unit 14, as long as they can measure the force acting by the operating unit 13. [

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing unit 12 senses at least one of the opening and closing of the fluid discharge path 17 by the opening / closing unit 11 and outputs a first signal. The measuring unit 14 may measure a force acting on the opening and closing unit 11 by the operating unit 13 and output a second signal.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention relating to a valve monitoring apparatus for monitoring the pressure relief valve 10 by processing the first and second signals will be described.

4 is a schematic diagram of a valve system 100 including a valve monitoring device 20 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

4, the valve system 100 includes a pressure relief valve 10 and a valve monitoring device 20 which includes an input 21, a controller 22, And an output unit 23.

The input unit 21 receives a first signal indicating whether the valve 10 is opened or closed from a valve 10 for regulating the pressure of the fluid to a critical pressure or less and a second signal indicating an operation pressure for closing the valve 10 And receives a signal.

4, the input unit 21 is an input device for receiving the first signal and the second signal from the sensing unit 12 and the measurement unit 14, respectively, The input interface can be configured.

The controller 22 processes the first signal and the second signal to monitor the operating pressure of the valve 10. [

The control unit 22 includes a processing unit for processing signals, and may include a processor such as a controller, a microcomputer, and a CPU. The control unit 22 may process the input first and second signals according to logic or algorithm and output a signal indicating data obtained by monitoring.

The output unit 23 can output a signal indicating the monitoring result of the operating pressure obtained by the signal processing of the control unit 22. [

The output unit 23 may include an output device for providing information to the manager who manages the valve 10.

For example, the output unit 23 may include a display device such as an LCD for visually displaying data on a screen and providing the data to an administrator. As another example, the output unit 23 may include a voice output device, such as a speaker, for providing data to the manager by voice. As another example, the output unit 23 may include a printing device, such as a printer, for printing data on a print medium such as paper and providing it to the manager.

However, the output unit 23 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be variously configured as long as it provides data indicative of the monitoring result of the operating pressure to the manager. For example, the output unit 23 may include a communication device for transmitting a monitoring result to a terminal of an administrator.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the input unit 21 can continuously receive the first and second signals from the valve 10.

In other words, the input unit 21 can continuously receive the first signal and the second signal during the monitoring of the valve. For example, the input unit 21 may periodically sample the first and second signals to periodically acquire the open / close state of the opening / closing unit 11 and the force of the operating unit 13. However, the input unit 21 does not always need to periodically obtain information from the first and second signals, and may also obtain information non-periodically.

The controller 22 processes the first and second signals to monitor the operation of the valve 10.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 22 detects the timing of transition of the valve 10 from the closed state to the open state based on the first signal, The operating pressure can be obtained based on the signal.

5 is a diagram illustrating exemplary waveforms of first and second signals input to the valve monitoring apparatus 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5, the input unit 21 can continuously receive the first signal and the second signal from the valve, that is, the sensing unit 12 and the measurement unit 14, respectively, The controller 22 may periodically sample the first and second signals at predetermined time intervals? T to obtain the state of the valve 10 and the pressure acting on the operating portion 13. [

According to this embodiment, the control unit 22 detects the timing of transition of the valve 10 from the closed state to the open state based on the first signal, and detects the timing of transition of the second signal The operation pressure of the valve 10 can be obtained.

For example, 5, the first signal is the time bar, the control unit 22 the valve (10 at time t 2 logically have a low level with high-level logical at time t 2 at t 1 ) Transitions from the closed state to the open state. Thus, the timing at which the valve 10 transitions from the closed state to the open state has a logic level (for example, a low level in FIG. 5) corresponding to the closed state of the first signal and a logic level For example, a high level in Fig. 5).

Then, the control unit 22 can obtain the operating pressure of the valve 10 based on the second signal inputted before the detected timing t 2 .

For example, referring to FIG. 5, according to the second signal inputted at the time t 1 immediately before the time t 2 when the state transition of the valve 10 occurred, the pressure measured by the measuring unit 14 is P 1 , The controller 22 can determine the pressure measured immediately before the state transition of the valve 10 to be performed as the operating pressure of the valve 10. [

Thus, the control unit 22 processes the first and second signals continuously input to determine the pressure measured before the timing at which the state transition of the valve 10 occurs, as the operating pressure of the valve 10, The control unit 22 may include a storage unit 221 for storing the first and second signals. The storage device 221 may use a storage device capable of quickly storing and recalling a small amount of data. For example, the storage device 221 may include a register or the like. However, the control unit 22 need not necessarily use the storage device 221 to process the first and second signals as described above, and may have a circuit implemented according to various methods.

5, the control unit 22 controls the pressure P 1 at time t 1 immediately before the timing t 2 at which the valve 10 is shifted from the closed state to the open state to the valve 10 It is not always necessary to limit the time at which the operating pressure is read from the second signal to the immediately preceding sampling time as long as it is temporally ahead of the state transition timing t 2 . For example, in FIG. 5, the control unit 22 may determine the pressure P 0 at the time t 0 which is temporally ahead of the state transition timing t 2 by 2 ·? T, as the operating pressure of the valve 10.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 22 detects the timing at which the valve 10 transitions from the open state to the closed state based on the first signal, The operating pressure of the valve 10 may be obtained.

In other words, according to this embodiment, the valve monitoring apparatus 100 can determine the operating pressure of the valve 10 based on the timing at which the valve 10 transitions from the open state to the closed state, as opposed to the above embodiment .

For example, 5, the first signal is the time bar, the control unit 22 the valve (10 at time t 4 has a high level logically t 3 having a logically low level at time t 4 ) Transitions from the open state to the closed state. As described above, the timing at which the valve 10 transitions from the open state to the closed state has a logic level (for example, a high level in FIG. 5) corresponding to the open state and a logic level For example, a low level in Fig. 5).

Then, the controller 22 can obtain the operating pressure of the valve 10 based on the second signal inputted at the detected timing t 4 .

For example, referring to FIG. 5, according to the second signal inputted at the time t 4 when the state transition of the valve 10 occurs, the pressure measured by the measuring unit 14 is P 4 , and the control unit 22 Can determine the pressure measured when the state transition of the valve 10 occurs as the operating pressure of the valve 10.

Further, the control section 22 in this embodiment, but determining a pressure P 4 at a timing t 4 to transition to the closed state from the opened valve 10 to the operating pressure of the valve 10, the operating pressure of the It may be read from the second signal later than the state transition timing t 4 . For example, in FIG. 5, the control unit 22 may determine the pressure P 5 at the time t 5 that is delayed by? T from the state transition timing t 4 by the operation pressure of the valve 10.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 22 calculates a difference between the obtained operating pressure and a predetermined threshold pressure, and when the difference exceeds the predetermined allowable value, .

The critical pressure and the allowable value may be preset and stored in the control unit 22. Here, the critical pressure corresponds to the critical pressure described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3, and the manager physically sets the critical pressure to the pressure relief valve 10 using the pressure adjusting screw 16 or the like , It is also possible to electrically set the critical pressure for the valve monitoring device 20.

Figure 6 is an exemplary flow diagram of a valve monitoring method 200 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

The valve monitoring method 200 may be performed by the valve monitoring apparatus 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above.

Referring to FIG. 6, the valve monitoring method 200 includes steps of receiving (S210) first and second signals from a valve 10, processing the first and second signals to close the valve 10 (S220), and outputting a monitoring result of the operating pressure (S230).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of receiving the first and second signals (S210) may include receiving the first and second signals continuously.

FIG. 7 is an exemplary flow chart illustrating the process of processing the first and second signals to monitor the operating pressure (S220) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the step of processing the first and second signals to monitor the operating pressure (S220) may include a step of switching the valve 10 from the closed state to the open state based on the first signal step of FIG detect t 2) at 5 (S221), the above type than the detected timing second signal (e.g., the second signal) based the operating pressure of from t 1 5 (e.g., in Figure 5 step (S223) for obtaining a P 1), if it exceeds a step (S225), and the difference is a predetermined allowable value to calculate a difference between the obtained operating pressure and a predetermined threshold pressure (YES in S226), the valve (S228) that the mobile terminal 10 is operating abnormally.

According to this embodiment, if the difference is less than or equal to the tolerance (NO in S226), the valve 10 may be determined to operate normally (S227).

FIG. 8 is an exemplary flow chart illustrating the process of processing the first and second signals to monitor the operating pressure (S220) in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the step S220 of processing the first and second signals to monitor the operation pressure S220 may include a step of switching the valve 10 from the open state to the closed state based on the first signal (for example, Fig t 4) the detecting step (S222), wherein the timing or higher later input detecting a second signal (e.g., the second signal) based on the operating pressure of from 5 t 4 (e.g., 5 to 5 step (S224), if the step (S225) for calculating a difference between the obtained operating pressure and a predetermined threshold pressure, and the difference period exceeds the set allowable value (YES in S226) for obtaining a P 4) in the And determining (S228) that the valve 10 is operating abnormally.

In this embodiment, if the difference is smaller than or equal to the allowable value (NO in S226), the valve 10 may be determined to operate normally (S227).

The valve monitoring method 200 may be implemented as a program for execution on a computer and stored in a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of storage devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like. In addition, the valve monitoring method 200 may be implemented as a computer program stored on a medium for execution in association with the computer.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the pressure relief valve 10 can be calibrated and calibrated without separating it from the facility, so that it is possible to perform a simple calibration and reduce the process loss due to valve separation during calibration.

Further, the embodiment of the present invention can reliably perform the calibration of the valve by suitably acquiring the pressure required to open the valve.
