The disclosure relates to the field of temperature detection and control, and more particularly, to a driving device using temperature measurement, a driving method using temperature measurement and a dual-gas-source valve control system.
For a traditional mode in which a thermocouple is used for controlling operation of a valve body, generally, one thermocouple is matched with one valve body, the thermocouple detects an external temperature, and is capable of generating a potential difference according to a working principle of the thermocouple. An output potential difference is capable of driving the valve body to open and close, and then the valve body controls operation of an external pipeline.
When two sets of different temperature conditions need to be detected, and the operation of the external pipeline is jointly controlled according to results of the two sets of temperature conditions, two sets of the above structures that one thermocouple is matched with one valve body generally need to be used, and then a corresponding logic can be realized through cooperation of a relatively complicated pipeline topology structure, resulting in complicated production and high cost.

As shown in
It should be noted that temperature measurement elements commonly used in the thermocouple components are used for measuring a temperature and converting a temperature signal into a thermoelectromotive force signal. Both ends of two conductors with different components (referred to as thermocouple wires or thermodes) are connected to form a loop. When temperatures of the two conductors are different, an electromotive force is generated in the loop. Moreover, the magnetic-drive assembly 300 is coupled with the loop of the thermocouple components, and the electromotive force in the loop may cause the magnetic-drive assembly 300 to generate the magnetic fluxes. Multiple thermocouple components are coupled with the magnetic-drive assembly 300 in different access modes or different electromotive force directions, so that the magnetic fluxes are generated in different directions, and the magnetic fluxes in different directions may be offset.
In the driving device using temperature measurement of the disclosure, different thermocouple components can be used for detecting temperatures of different objects or environments, and the thermocouple components drive the magnetic-drive assembly 300 to generate the magnetic flux according to the external temperature. Since temperatures of environments where different thermocouple components are located are different, potentials generated by the thermocouple components are different. Therefore, the magnetic fluxes generated by the magnetic-drive assembly 300 driven by different thermocouple components are different, and can be partially or wholly offset with each other. The magnetic fluxes in the magnetic-drive assembly 300 may be present as a magnetic force after being partially or wholly offset, thus achieving driving effects of different degrees. According to the design, multiple temperature states may be detected respectively by multiple thermocouple components, then the amount of the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic-drive assembly 300 driven by each thermocouple component may be integrated, so as to be finally converted into a magnetic force by the magnetic-drive assembly 300. The device is simple in structure, strong in compatibility with various temperature measurement logic controls.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, the magnetic-drive assembly 300 includes a base shell 310, a magnetic core 320 arranged on the base shell 310 and a movable member 350 movably arranged on the base shell 310, the movable member 350 is attractable by a magnetic force generated by the magnetic core 320, electromagnetic coils matched with the thermocouple components one by one are wound on the magnetic core 320, and the thermocouple components are connected with the electromagnetic coils.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, the magnetic-drive assembly 300 further includes a reset member 360 arranged on the base shell 310, and the reset member 360 is connected with the movable member 350 so as to drive the movable member 350 to reset. The reset member 360 herein may be a spring or a counterweight.
In some cases, the magnetic core 320 generates a magnetic force, and when the magnetic force is large enough, the far-away movable member 350 can be attracted to the magnetic core 320. Alternatively, when the magnetic core 320 generates the magnetic force, a user may press the movable member 350 onto the magnetic core 320, and the magnetic core 320 attracts the movable member 350 to maintain this state. When the magnetic flux is reduced, and the magnetic force is weakened to be not large enough to attract the movable member 350, the movable member 350 will be reset by the reset member 360.
It should be noted herein that the movable member 350 can be reset without the need for different thermocouple components to drive the magnetic drive assembly 300 to produce magnetic fluxes that are completely offset. As long as the thermocouple components detect the external temperature, and a temperature difference exists between the two conductors, the electromotive force may be generated, and the magnetic-drive assembly 300 is driven to generate magnetic fluxes. Moreover, when an absolute value of a sum of all the magnetic fluxes generated by the driven magnetic-drive assembly 300 is large enough, the magnetic force generated on the movable member 350 can also be increased, thus being capable of attracting the movable member 350, while when the absolute value of the sum of the magnetic fluxes generated by the magnetic-drive assembly 300 is reduced to a certain extent, the magnetic force generated on the movable member 350 is not large enough to maintain attraction, and then the movable member 350 is reset by the reset member 360. In some embodiments, a specification of the selected thermocouple components shows a parameter characteristic that when the thermocouple components are heated, a potential difference of 1.5 mV to 0 V may be generated.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, the magnetic core 320 includes at least two magnetic columns, one end of each magnetic column is connected with each other, the other end of each magnetic column faces towards the movable member 350, and the electromagnetic coils are wound on the magnetic columns.
Different magnetic columns are matched with the thermocouple components one by one herein, thus reducing interference. Meanwhile, the thermocouple components can also be coupled to realize integration and offset of the magnetic fluxes.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, a conductive member 400 is arranged on the base shell 310, and the thermocouple components are connected with the electromagnetic coils through the conductive member 400.
Specifically, the conductive member 400 is a conductive pedestal, the conductive pedestal is connected with the base shell 310 to form an accommodating cavity capable of accommodating the magnetic-drive assembly 300, the conductive pedestal is provided with at least one through hole allowing a wire to penetrate through, one pole of the thermocouple component is connected with one end of the electromagnetic coil through the wire, the other pole of the thermocouple component is connected with the conductive pedestal, and the other end of the electromagnetic coil is connected with the conductive pedestal.

Alternatively, the electromagnetic valve may be composed of two independent valve bodies, which are both driven by the magnetic-drive assembly 300 or can be linked with the movable member 350 of the magnetic-drive assembly 300.
