The display screen is installed on the front side of the housing (front panel) for displaying data and other information. According to actual needs, manual input devices such as input buttons can also be provided on the surface of the housing (for example, the front) for manual input.

[0022] See also Figure 1In order to achieve multi-functional integration, the circuits / chips in the line loss circuit (module), residual voltage detection circuit (module) and other independently set circuits (modules) that are located in independent devices can be integrated into an intelligent distribution automation terminal based on the architecture of existing technology, and the corresponding circuit boards (backplanes, single boards) and internal supporting wires can be used to replace the cable connections between the independent devices. Depending on the actual situation, the software functions can be executed by the original chips / circuits integrated into the same terminal, or some or all of the software functions can be concentrated in the same (group) of chips, and these functions can be implemented by loading the corresponding software. The voltage acquisition module (corresponding circuit / chip) and current acquisition module (circuit / chip) for collecting basic data can be plugged into the backplane as separate modules (single board / card). The line loss (analysis) unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or line loss submodule) and residual voltage (analysis) unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or residual voltage submodule) for performing corresponding data analysis and processing are installed on the main control module (single board, or card). Alternatively, the corresponding line loss (analysis) and residual voltage (analysis) software can be loaded on the main control module's central processing unit / processor. With the support of the corresponding software, the central processing unit performs the corresponding data processing / analysis functions performed by the existing independently installed line loss module (device) and residual voltage detection module (device). The backplane is provided with corresponding slots / ports for connecting the main control module, voltage acquisition module, current acquisition module, remote signal input module, remote control output module, and LCD panel / LCD display module.

[0023] See also Figure 2 The main control module (single board, or board) is equipped with a central processing unit (processor) and a line loss unit, a residual voltage unit, an analog-to-digital conversion unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or analog-to-digital conversion sub-module), a serial communication unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or serial communication sub-module), a satellite timing and positioning unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or satellite timing and positioning sub-module), a remote control interface unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or remote control interface sub-module), a remote signaling interface unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or remote signaling interface sub-module) and an Ethernet communication unit (corresponding circuit / chip, or Ethernet communication sub-module). The main control module is equipped with connection circuits between each sub-module and the central processing unit.

[0024] In the above implementation mode, the intelligent distribution automation terminal includes seven parts: a main control module, a voltage acquisition module, a current acquisition module, a telesignaling input module, a remote control output module, a back panel and a liquid crystal display panel. These seven parts share a power input. The main control module includes a satellite timing and positioning unit, a line loss unit, an Ethernet communication unit, a residual voltage unit, a telesignaling interface unit, a remote control interface unit, a serial communication unit and an analog-to-digital conversion unit.

[0025] The voltage acquisition module can adopt existing technology to filter, organize and isolate the voltage signal output by the voltage sensor and the voltage signal output by the battery, and then output them to the main control module. The voltage acquisition module filters, organizes, isolates and processes the signal sent by the bus voltage after the voltage sensor is transformed and the signal collected by the equipment battery, and then sends them to the analog-to-digital conversion unit and line loss unit of the main control module. The voltage signal is used to display the voltage information of the line and equipment and to determine whether the protection is activated.

[0026] The current acquisition module, which utilizes existing technologies, filters, organizes, and isolates the current signal output by the current sensor before transmitting it to the main control module. The module includes a current sensor. The busbar current signal, after being transformed by the current sensor, is filtered, organized, and isolated before being transmitted to the main control module's analog-to-digital conversion unit and line loss unit. The current signal is used to display line current information and determine whether protection has been activated. This current information can be used to assist in determining the operating status of the mechanism.

[0027] The remote signal input module utilizes existing technology to remotely connect to protection devices and output control commands to the master control module in real time. The remote signal input module is divided into hard and soft remote signals. Hard remote signals are used to input local close / open operation instructions, close / open status, and locking operation information; soft remote signals can be used to connect to comprehensive protection devices.

[0028] The remote control output module can adopt existing technology, can be provided with local remote control and / or remote remote control, and can monitor the opening / closing instructions in real time.

[0029] The backplane can adopt existing technology to realize data connection of other parts. The remote signal input module, remote control output module, main control module, voltage acquisition module, current acquisition module and liquid crystal display panel can be connected through pin terminals to provide electrical connection channels between each other. Each module is provided with a connector corresponding to the backplane for installation on the backplane.

[0030] The main control module can utilize any suitable data processing device (processor). This data processing device should be capable of loading appropriate software. With the support of this software, it can accept input from the voltage acquisition module, current acquisition module, and remote signal input module, perform appropriate data processing, and control the remote control output module and display screen for data output and display. Whether the various information acquisition and input / output facilities / modules are independently configured or integrated, the central control module's data analysis / processing methods are unaffected, and any suitable existing technology can be employed.

[0031] Under the existing technical background and with the support of corresponding software, the main task of the main control module is to integrate the functions of eight units, namely, Ethernet communication unit, satellite timing and positioning unit, line loss unit, residual voltage unit, telesignaling interface unit, remote control interface unit, serial communication unit and analog-to-digital conversion unit, and to control, receive, process and send the data connected by these eight functional units. The satellite timing and positioning unit collects satellite signals and outputs them to the central processing unit after isolation, encoding and processing, which can accurately locate and time; the Ethernet communication unit sends message data through the IPsec tunnel to the line master station operation terminal, which can ensure the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the data when accessing the public network during data transmission; the residual voltage unit can record the instantaneous residual voltage through hardware and send a locking signal when the device system loses power and the backup power supply loses power, so that when the device is powered on and normal operation is restored, a residual voltage reverse lock is generated, avoiding permanent faults when the device is closed, improving system protection reliability and reducing failure time; the line loss unit can be built into the main control module, and measure the changes in voltage and current in real time through the voltage acquisition module and the current acquisition module, monitor the line loss in the power system in real time, and transmit the data transmission technology to the monitoring center for easy analysis and management.

[0032] The housing preferably adopts a reinforced housing (a housing with a reinforcing structure), which can generally be a rectangular (cuboid) housing, provided with a rectangular (cuboid) frame and side panels (upper, lower, left, right, front, and rear) fixedly mounted on the sides of the rectangular frame. Reinforcing plates and / or ribs can be provided on the inner sides of the left, right, upper, and lower side panels to strengthen the housing as a whole. The frame can be formed by angle steel fixedly connected at the edge of each side of the housing (corresponding to the edges of the cuboid). The back panel is fixedly mounted to the bottom plate (lower panel), or the back plate (rear panel), or the left panel or right panel of the housing via multiple vibration-damping supports (for example, vibration dampers / vibration-damping pads arranged at the four corners of the back panel), with a gap between the back panel and the housing (the corresponding side panels of the housing) to reduce the impact of external vibration on the components / modules within the housing and to facilitate ventilation. The housing may be provided with a door, and the front, rear, left, or right side panels of the housing may be configured to be openable and closable (for example, one edge may be hinged to the housing frame, and a lock / securing device may be provided between the side opposite the hinge and the housing frame). The housing may be provided with a vent and a fan, and the vent may be a louvered vent.

[0033] Based on actual needs, multiple mounting structures in different directions, such as bases, bottom brackets, lateral hangers, and / or top hangers, can be provided on the bottom plate, left side panel, right side panel, top plate (upper side panel), and rear plate (partially or entirely) of the housing to better adapt to site conditions. The specific form of the mounting structure can be selected based on actual needs. For example, screw holes (e.g., welded nuts, or screw holes provided on a portion of a panel having a certain thickness) can be fixed on the housing so that fastening screws of the bracket / base can be tightened in the screw holes from the outside to achieve fixation of the bracket / base to the housing.

[0034] The housing can be equipped with multiple fan mounting locations (structures for mounting / installing fans) with different orientations / positions, allowing for selection of fan orientations / mounting locations based on the specific installation site, ensuring overall ventilation within the housing and further improving site adaptability. These different fan mounting locations can be located on various panels of the housing. For example, fan mounting locations can be located on some or all of the left, right, rear, top, and bottom panels. Compatible vents can be provided on the panel opposite the fan mounting location or on other suitable panels. The airflow generated by the fans within the housing should be directed to ventilate and dissipate heat for each module (backplane and boards) to avoid blocking the flow of air from one module to another. For example, the airflow generated by the fans can be roughly parallel to the plane in which the modules are located. Alternatively, air guide structures (air guide plates) can be provided to direct the airflow. If fan mounting locations require openings (fan holes / mounting holes) in the housing, the unused openings (fan holes / mounting holes) can be sealed with blind plates (enclosed plates).

[0035] Unless otherwise specified or when one preferred or optional technical means is a further limitation of another technical means, the preferred and optional technical means disclosed in the present utility model can be arbitrarily combined to form several different specific implementation methods.
