[0051] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] The present invention proposes an edge terminal for online monitoring of circuit breaker, which includes three key modules: a high-speed acquisition card, a low-speed acquisition card, a time synchronization module and an edge computing host.

[0054] High-speed and low-speed acquisition cards: This system uses two acquisition cards, one for collecting high-frequency and one for collecting low-frequency signals. The high-speed acquisition card is configured with a higher sampling frequency to capture transient high-frequency signals such as vibration and current. The low-speed acquisition card is configured with a lower sampling frequency to capture long-term, stable signals of the circuit breaker, such as temperature and displacement.

[0055] Time synchronization module: The main function of this module is to solve the time synchronization problem between high-speed and low-speed acquisition cards. In traditional technologies, due to differences in sampling frequency, it is easy to cause time deviations in the acquired data. To this end, the present invention ensures the consistency of the data streams of the high-speed and low-speed acquisition cards on the time axis through the collaboration of the trigger signal generation unit, the timestamp alignment unit and the dynamic calibration unit. The trigger signal generation unit generates a synchronous trigger signal based on the operation event of the circuit breaker to start the simultaneous acquisition of the high-speed and low-speed acquisition cards; the timestamp alignment unit uses an interpolation algorithm to timestamp and correct the low-speed acquisition signal to keep it synchronized with the high-speed signal; the dynamic calibration unit makes real-time adjustments based on the clock drift between the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card.

[0056] Edge Computing Host: This module is responsible for preliminary processing of collected signals, including signal filtering, feature extraction, and fault diagnosis. The data processing unit, which includes a vibration signal analysis module, a travel calculation module, and a current data processing module, analyzes collected data in real time, identifies potential faults, and provides early warnings. The data storage unit stores historical feature data and fault data for subsequent analysis and fault tracing. The data upload unit supports uploading critical data to the cloud via the MQTT protocol for further centralized management and analysis.

[0057] The vibration signal analysis module performs time and frequency domain analysis on the circuit breaker's mechanical vibration signals acquired through the high-speed acquisition channel. This includes, but is not limited to, extracting the amplitude, root mean square (RMS), dominant frequency, and envelope characteristics of the vibration acceleration signal; analyzing the duration of the operation process; and performing feature matching on the vibration signal to identify possible fault behaviors such as mechanical jamming and loose bolts. The travel calculation module calculates key parameters such as motion speed, motion time, and motion distance from the signals collected by the travel sensor. The current data processing module processes the circuit breaker's on-off current signals, including collecting and analyzing the load current waveform; extracting information such as the current zero point, peak value, and on-time during the opening and closing phase; and combining travel information with the vibration signal to identify the timing relationship between contact opening or closing and current changes. The temperature data processing module reads the temperature sensor signal and extracts indicators such as the maximum temperature, average temperature, and rate of change. Data collected by each module is precisely timestamped and aligned under the coordination of the time synchronization module to ensure that event judgments are based on the same operation cycle. The modules of the data processing unit collaborate using a unified time base, enabling multi-parameter joint diagnosis. Through the linkage analysis of vibration, stroke and current data, it is determined whether the operation of the circuit breaker during the opening and closing process is normal, and whether there are fault characteristics such as jamming, abnormal speed or breaking failure. Combined with temperature and current data, it is analyzed whether the abnormal temperature rise is caused by excessive current, or whether local overheating is caused by poor contact.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] To improve the reliability and comprehensiveness of circuit breaker monitoring, enhance the synchronization and accuracy of data acquisition, and resolve the frequency mismatch and timing deviation issues of existing edge terminal signal acquisition, the present invention provides an edge terminal for online monitoring of a circuit breaker. An embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below.

[0060] Figure 1 The overall structure of the edge terminal system of the present invention is demonstrated. The system includes key parts such as a high-speed acquisition card, a low-speed acquisition card, a time synchronization module, and an edge computing unit. The high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card are respectively connected to the circuit breaker monitoring sensor to collect signals of different frequencies. The high-speed acquisition card is connected to high-frequency signals, including but not limited to current sensors and vibration sensors, to capture high-frequency signals such as current fluctuations and vibration anomalies; the low-speed acquisition card is connected to low-frequency signals, including but not limited to temperature sensors, travel sensors, to track low-frequency signals such as temperature changes and displacement changes. The time synchronization module is used to achieve timing alignment between the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card, including a trigger signal generation unit, a timestamp alignment unit, and a dynamic calibration unit. The edge computing host includes a data processing unit, a data storage unit, and a data upload unit.

[0061] Figure 2The flow chart of the high-speed and low-speed acquisition synchronization method of the time synchronization module is presented, focusing on the collaborative process of the trigger signal generation unit, the timestamp alignment unit and the dynamic calibration unit.

[0062] Trigger signal generation unit: When an operation event occurs in the circuit breaker, the trigger signal generation unit generates a synchronous trigger signal, which is sent to the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card at the same time to ensure that both start data acquisition at the same time point.

[0063] Timestamp alignment unit: Interpolates the low-speed acquisition signal to compensate for the sampling interval difference between the low-speed signal and the high-speed signal. The interpolation algorithm aligns the timestamps of the low-speed signal with the timestamps of the high-speed signal to ensure that the timing of the low-speed signal is synchronized with the high-speed signal.

[0064] Dynamic Calibration Unit: This unit monitors clock drift between high-speed and low-speed acquisition cards in real time. By periodically comparing the clock difference between the acquisition cards, it dynamically adjusts the sampling interval of the low-speed signal to correct synchronization errors caused by clock drift. The calibration algorithm uses the least squares method to fit the clock drift curve to ensure synchronization accuracy over long periods of time. Clock drift is calculated using this formula and the sampling interval of the low-speed signal is adjusted in real time to ensure data synchronization.

[0065] Through the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention can realize efficient online monitoring of the circuit breaker and improve the safety and reliability of the circuit breaker operation through synchronization of high-speed and low-speed acquisition signals and real-time data processing.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] Use a signal generator to generate rectangular waves of 10kHz and 100Hz respectively, and use an online monitoring edge terminal to collect data with acquisition frequencies of 100kHz and 1kHz respectively to verify its acquisition frequency.

[0068] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The following are the results of rectangular waves of different frequencies collected by high-speed and low-speed acquisition cards. The acquisition frequency of the high-speed acquisition card is 100kHz, and the acquisition frequency of the low-speed acquisition card is 1kHz. It can be observed that:

[0069] 10kHz rectangular wave: At an acquisition frequency of 100kHz, the acquisition card can accurately capture the waveform of the 10kHz signal, and the waveform is clear, with obvious rising and falling edges. The high-speed acquisition card can meet the acquisition needs of high-speed signals.

[0070] 100Hz rectangular wave: Similarly, at a sampling frequency of 1kHz, the 100Hz signal can also be accurately acquired, and the waveform shows smooth and periodic changes. The low-speed acquisition card can capture the changes in the low-frequency signal.

[0071] The CKG4 AC high-voltage vacuum contactor is used as the test equipment, the EM9636B4 high-speed data acquisition card is connected to the SUP-DJI-5A current sensor to collect the power line current at the closing moment, and the DAQ122 low-speed data acquisition card is connected to the KTC1 travel sensor to collect the mechanical travel of the closing contact. Figure 5 As shown, the system accurately captures current fluctuations at the moment of circuit breaker closing, accurately capturing both rising and falling current trends, reflecting the current characteristics during the closing process. It can also accurately determine the starting and ending points of closing and fully record the changes in the mechanical travel of the contacts. These changes are aligned under the coordination of the time synchronization module, ensuring that event judgments are based on the same operating cycle.

[0072] Example 4

[0073] The present invention provides a high-speed and low-speed acquisition time synchronization method, which is used for the time synchronization module of the circuit breaker online monitoring edge terminal, comprising the following steps:

[0074] ① In response to the circuit breaker operation event, a synchronous trigger signal is generated and sent to the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card;

[0075] ② After receiving the synchronous trigger signal, the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card start data acquisition at the preset sampling frequency respectively; the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card record the timestamp at the initial moment of data acquisition to mark the time base of the data;

[0076] ③ The time base of the data stream is normalized by the timestamp alignment unit. Specifically, this includes: interpolating the low-speed acquisition signal to compensate for the sampling interval difference between the low-speed signal and the high-speed signal. The interpolation algorithm aligns the timestamps of the low-speed signal with the timestamps of the high-speed signal to ensure the timing of the low-speed signal is synchronized with the high-speed signal;

[0077] ④ The dynamic calibration unit monitors the clock drift between the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card in real time. By periodically comparing the time difference between the acquisition cards, it dynamically adjusts the sampling interval of the low-speed signal to correct the synchronization deviation caused by clock drift. The calibration algorithm uses the least squares method to fit the clock drift curve to ensure synchronization accuracy under long-term operation.

[0078] ⑤ Once time synchronization and dynamic calibration are completed, the final synchronized data stream will be input into the edge computing host for further processing; the edge computing host is responsible for filtering, feature extraction and fault diagnosis of the synchronized data; the processed data is used for real-time analysis, alarm, fault warning and subsequent maintenance decision support.

[0079] In this embodiment, the interpolation algorithm aligns the timestamps of the low-speed signal and the high-speed signal, including:

[0080] During the timestamp alignment process, an interpolation algorithm is used to perform time correction on the low-speed signal based on the timestamp of the low-speed acquisition signal and the timestamp of the high-speed acquisition signal. The specific steps include:

[0081] Define the timestamp of high-speed acquisition signal as T l,j , the timestamp of the low-speed acquisition signal is T h,i , where i and j are the indices of high-speed and low-speed acquisition data respectively;

[0082] Calculate the interpolation factor α based on the time difference between the high-speed signal and the low-speed signal;

[0083]

[0084] Among them, T l,j+1 The next timestamp of the low-speed signal;

[0085] The interpolated low-speed signal timestamp is calculated according to the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, α is the interpolation factor, and α∈[0,1] is the interpolation correction ratio, which is used to ensure that the timestamps of the low-speed signal and the high-speed signal are aligned; It is the timestamp of the low-speed signal after interpolation correction, used to correspond to the high-speed signal in time.

[0088] In this embodiment, the calibration algorithm uses the least squares method to fit the clock drift curve to ensure synchronization accuracy during long-term operation, including:

[0089] By periodically comparing the timestamps (T h,i 、T l,j ), calculate the clock drift ΔT k ;

[0090] Use the least squares method to fit the clock drift curve and dynamically adjust the sampling interval of the low-speed signal using the following formula to correct the clock drift:

[0091] ΔT k =A+Bk+Ck 2

[0092] Where, ΔT k is the clock drift, A, B, C are fitting parameters, and k is the number of the sampling period;

[0093] By calculating the fitting results of the least squares method, the correction amount of clock drift is determined, and the sampling interval of the low-speed acquisition card is adjusted in real time to ensure that the sampling of the low-speed signal is synchronized with the high-speed signal and eliminate the synchronization deviation caused by clock drift.

A high-speed and low-speed acquisition time synchronization method, characterized in that: The time synchronization module for the circuit breaker online monitoring edge terminal according to claim 5 comprises: In response to a circuit breaker operation event, generating a synchronous trigger signal and sending the signal to the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card; After receiving the synchronous trigger signal, the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card respectively start data acquisition at the preset sampling frequency; the high-speed acquisition card and the low-speed acquisition card record the timestamp at the initial moment of data acquisition to mark the time base of the data; The time base of the data stream is normalized by the timestamp alignment unit. Specifically, this includes interpolating the low-speed acquisition signal to compensate for the sampling interval difference between the low-speed signal and the high-speed signal. The interpolation algorithm aligns the timestamps of the low-speed signal with the timestamps of the high-speed signal to ensure the timing of the low-speed signal is synchronized with the high-speed signal. The dynamic calibration unit monitors the clock drift between the high-speed and low-speed acquisition cards in real time. By periodically comparing the time difference between the acquisition cards, it dynamically adjusts the sampling interval of the low-speed signal to correct the synchronization deviation caused by clock drift. The calibration algorithm uses the least squares method to fit the clock drift curve to ensure synchronization accuracy during long-term operation. After time synchronization and dynamic calibration are completed, the final synchronized data stream will be input into the edge computing host for further processing; the edge computing host is responsible for filtering, feature extraction and fault diagnosis of the synchronized data; the processed data is used for real-time analysis, alarm, fault warning and subsequent maintenance decision support.
