[0017] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0018] Example This embodiment provides a C-GIS circuit breaker automatic partial discharge test system including test end equipment and production line end equipment, such as Figure 1-2 shown.
[0019] The test end equipment includes a shielded room and high-voltage test equipment 1, an automatic phase-changing device 3, an automatic wiring device and an automatic opening and closing control device arranged in the shielded room.
[0020] The shielded room is constructed using panels assembled with conductive linings between them. The doors are electrically operated, airtight shielded sliding doors 9. The room is equipped with a video surveillance system that covers all locations within the room and includes an automatic phase-changing device 3, clearly displaying the interior, the automatic docking status of test specimens, and the high-voltage test equipment 1. The area enclosed by the shielded room serves as the test area, which carries high voltage electricity. To ensure personnel safety, a human presence detection device and an emergency stop button are installed within the test area to prevent personnel from entering. The human presence detection device utilizes a high-voltage laser radar or heat source detection device.
[0021] The automatic phase-changing device 3 is used to ensure that the circuit breaker ports A, B, C, a, b, and c are reliably connected to high voltage or reliably grounded, and the circuit breaker housing is reliably grounded or suspended, so as to perform partial discharge testing on the three phases of the circuit breaker. The automatic wiring device is used to automatically connect the circuit breaker test ports. The automatic wiring device includes an ABC automatic docking device 2-2 and an abc automatic docking device 2-1. The abc automatic docking device 2-1 is located above the automatic roller line, and the ABC automatic docking device 2-2 is located on the side of the automatic roller line. The automatic wiring device meets the requirements of the center distance of 120 to 340 mm. The automatic opening and closing control device is used to control the circuit breaker's energy storage, closing, opening, and locking, so that the circuit breaker is in a state that meets the relevant test requirements and provides an in-position signal.
[0022] The production line equipment includes automatic roller line 4, vision system, tooling positioning module, automatic docking tooling for aerial plugs, grounding probe docking tooling and automatic triggering of circuit breaker opening and closing button tooling.
[0023] Automatic roller lines 4, located inside and outside the shielded room, are used for automatic circuit breaker transport. These lines feature forward and reverse rotation capabilities. When a photoelectric sensor detects a tooling tray, they automatically transport the product into the shielded room and out of the room after testing. A vision system, located outside the shielded room entrance, reads circuit breaker information. A tooling positioning module, located on the automatic roller line inside the shielded room, uses position sensors to automatically position the circuit breaker and high-voltage test equipment 1, improving the accuracy of automatic docking between the circuit breaker and the test equipment. The automatic docking fixture for the aerial plug automatically connects the main aerial plug to the main aerial plug on the tooling tray for power. The grounding probe docking fixture automatically grounds the circuit breaker mechanism box and tooling tray. The grounding probe docking fixture features two automatic grounding probes. After the aerial plug is docked and powered, the probes move out to connect to the circuit breaker mechanism box and tooling tray, completing the grounding operation. The automatic triggering of the circuit breaker open and close buttons is a fixture that automatically triggers the close and open buttons according to the requirements of the circuit breaker partial discharge test.
[0024] In this embodiment, the automatic partial discharge test system also includes an insulation test bench 10 and a voltage-regulating and filtering device 11, located outside the shielded room. The insulation test bench 10 includes a digital partial discharge detection module and a digital power-frequency withstand voltage control and measurement module, respectively used for partial discharge detection and withstand voltage testing. A single computer monitors and controls these two digital modules and is connected to the circuit breaker production line's MES system. The voltage-regulating and filtering device 11 is used to remove random interference that is not synchronized with the power supply.
[0025] The automatic partial discharge test system further comprises an input unit 5, an electric voltage regulating isolation filter device, a power frequency non-corona test transformer 6, a non-partial discharge protection resistor 7, a non-partial discharge coupling capacitor 8 and a partial discharge filter adapter.
[0026] Input unit 5 detects discharge information from the discharge test circuit, i.e., detects impedance. It utilizes a dual-tuned input circuit using a high-frequency transformer. Both the primary and secondary circuits are LCR circuits, with the primary inductance tuned to the equivalent capacitance of the test circuit within the PD instrument's amplifier frequency band. An electrically driven voltage-regulating isolation filter isolates grid interference, stabilizes voltage, and regulates the output signal. It uses natural cooling. A power-frequency no-corona test transformer 6 provides high voltage for withstand voltage testing. A no-partial-discharge protection resistor 7, connected between the power-frequency no-corona test transformer and the no-partial-discharge coupling capacitor, limits short-circuit current during flashovers, protecting both the test specimen and the power-frequency no-corona test transformer. The no-partial-discharge protection resistor 7 consists of an insulating cylindrical frame wrapped with metal wire, with grading rings installed at both ends. The no-partial-discharge coupling capacitor 8 facilitates high-frequency signal transmission while isolating high-voltage and low-voltage systems. It is oil-immersed and mobile, consisting of a grading cover, a capacitor body, and a base. It uses oil-immersed natural cooling. The PD filter adapter is connected to the input unit to filter out high-frequency interference components mixed in the PD signal, which can effectively improve the test effect of the field test and the signal-to-noise ratio of the PD.
[0027] In this embodiment, the automatic phase-changing device, the automatic wiring device, the tooling positioning module, the automatic docking tooling for aerial plugs, and the grounding probe docking tooling are all installed on an aluminum profile frame in the shielded room, and each is driven by a cylinder / motor, positioned by a sensor, and guided by a screw / nut or guide rail / slider, thereby realizing the corresponding docking action.
[0028] The test method of the C-GIS circuit breaker automatic partial discharge test system includes the following steps: S1. Use the roller AGV to connect the tooling tray with the circuit breaker to the outside of the shielded room; S2. After the automatic roller line senses the tooling pallet, it automatically flows the tooling pallet to the door of the shielding room; S3. The visual system at the door of the laboratory automatically scans the barcode of the tooling tray and displays the product information on the insulation test bench, test end equipment and production line end equipment; S4. The shielding room door opens automatically, and the automatic roller line transports the tooling tray into the test room. The tooling positioning module automatically rises to precisely position the tooling tray. S5. The automatic docking tooling of the aerial plug next to the automatic roller line automatically drives the public aerial plug to connect with the main aerial plug of the tooling tray. After power is taken on, two grounding probes are connected to the circuit breaker mechanism box and the tooling tray to complete the grounding. S6. The test end equipment automatically adjusts the automatic wiring device and test parameters to complete the corresponding test based on the circuit breaker configuration, energy storage power supply voltage, closing and opening power supply voltage, and locking power supply voltage retrieved by scanning the tooling tray barcode; S7. After the test is completed, the insulation test bench automatically determines whether the test result is correct. If the test result is correct, it is uploaded to the MES system of the circuit breaker production line for archiving. If the test result is incorrect, the equipment will automatically alarm; the automatic docking contacts of the public aviation plug, grounding probe and automatic phase change device 3 are retracted in turn, the automatic roller line rotates in the opposite direction, and the tooling tray is moved to the exit position of the shielded room.
[0029] The C-GIS circuit breaker automatic partial discharge test system automatically transports the circuit breaker into the shielded room via an automatic roller line. Based on the circuit breaker information obtained by scanning the barcode with the visual system, the system uses the tooling positioning module, the automatic aerial plug docking tooling, and the grounding probe docking tooling to respectively achieve circuit breaker positioning, automatic aerial plugging, and automatic grounding probe docking. The entire test process can be completed without personnel entering the test room, improving overall test safety.
