[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] In view of the problem that in the existing demonstrator, the wire will burn immediately when the switch is closed during demonstration, an embodiment of the present invention provides a current overload and short circuit hazard demonstrator.

[0033] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a structural block diagram of a current overload and short circuit hazard demonstration device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the current overload and short circuit hazard demonstration instrument provided in this embodiment includes a short circuit demonstration unit 5, an overload demonstration unit 6, a regulator 3 and a selector 2. The selector 2 and the regulator 3 are used to connect to a power supply.

[0034] The power supply may be a mains power supply or an AC power supply converted by a voltage converter, and the selector 2 and the regulator 3 may be connected to the power supply through a power switch 1, or may be connected to a socket through a plug, and the socket provides the mains power supply.

[0035] The selector 2 is connected to the short circuit demonstration unit 5 and the overload demonstration unit 6, and is used to select the short circuit demonstration unit or the overload demonstration unit to be powered on. The selector 2 can be a selection switch or a toggle switch. For example, the toggle switch can be set to three positions: short circuit, stop, and overload. When the toggle switch is in the short circuit position, the short circuit demonstration unit 5 is powered on and is in a working state; when the toggle switch is in the overload position, the overload demonstration unit 6 is powered on and is in a working state.

[0036] The regulator 3 is connected to the short-circuit demonstration unit 5 and the overload demonstration unit 6 , and is used to adjust the voltage or current of the input short-circuit demonstration unit 5 , or to adjust the voltage or current of the input overload demonstration unit 6 .

[0037] The regulator 3 can be a variable resistor, a thyristor or a controlled rectifier. When the short-circuit demonstration unit 5 is in operation, the regulator, the short-circuit demonstration unit and the power supply form a power supply loop, and the regulator is used to adjust the voltage across the short-circuit demonstration unit. When the overload demonstration unit 6 is in operation, the regulator, the overload demonstration unit and the power supply form a power supply loop, and the regulator is used to adjust the current in the power supply loop.

[0038] The short circuit demonstration unit 5 includes a positive terminal and a negative terminal. When the short circuit demonstration unit 5 is powered on, if the positive terminal contacts the negative terminal, the circuit is short-circuited.

[0039] The overload demonstration unit 6 includes an overload demonstration wire. The overload demonstration wire can be a common thin wire, including an internal metal wire and an insulating skin wrapped around the outside of the metal wire. When an overload phenomenon occurs in the current, the overload demonstration wire will heat up, the insulating skin will melt or even burn.

[0040] The current overload and short circuit hazard demonstration instrument provided in this embodiment is provided with a regulator, which can adjust the voltage or current of the input short circuit demonstration unit or overload demonstration unit, thereby controlling the intensity of the circuit overload or circuit short circuit voltage and the degree and duration of wire burning, which is conducive to visitors to carefully observe and understand the process of the hazard caused by the circuit short circuit and understand the importance of safe use of electricity.

[0041] In a more preferred embodiment, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the current overload and short circuit hazard demonstration instrument includes a power switch 1, a short circuit demonstration unit 5, an overload demonstration unit 6, a regulator 3, a selector 2 and a mutual inductor 4. The power switch 1 (as shown Figure 3 K1) shown in the figure is used to connect to the power supply, and the selector 2 and the regulator 3 are connected to the power switch 1.

[0042] The selector 2 is connected to the short circuit demonstration unit 5 and the overload demonstration unit 6, and is used to select the short circuit demonstration unit 5 or the overload demonstration unit 6 to turn on the power supply. The selector 2 includes a toggle switch K2, a first selection branch connected to the toggle switch K2, and a second selection branch. The first selection branch includes a normally closed contact J22 of the second relay connected in series, a first branch switch K3 and a first contactor KM1, and a first normally open contact J11 of the first relay connected in parallel with the first branch switch K3. The second selection branch includes a normally closed contact J12 of the first relay connected in series, a second branch switch K4 and a second contactor KM2, and a first normally open contact J21 of the second relay connected in parallel with the second branch switch K4.

[0043] The second normally open contact J14 and the third normally open contact J15 of the first relay are connected in series with the overload demonstration unit 6. The fourth normally open contact J13 of the first relay is connected with the regulator 3.

[0044] The second normally open contact J24 and the third normally open contact J25 of the second relay are connected in series with the short circuit demonstration unit 5. The fourth normally open contact J23 of the second relay is connected with the regulator 3.

[0045] The regulator 3 may adopt a thyristor controller, and the regulator 3 is connected to the short-circuit demonstration unit 5 and the overload demonstration unit 6 through the mutual inductor 4, and is used to adjust the voltage or current of the input short-circuit demonstration unit 5, or adjust the voltage or current of the input overload demonstration unit 6.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the short circuit demonstration unit 5 and the overload demonstration unit 6 are arranged on one side of the insulating plate, and the regulator, the mutual inductor and the selector can be arranged in the demonstrator housing, for example, arranged on the other side of the insulating plate. The regulator is provided with an adjustment knob. The insulating plate can be arranged on the upper half of the front wall of the demonstrator housing for easy observation. The adjustment knob of the regulator and the toggle switch of the selector can be arranged on the demonstrator housing, or on a control handle connected to the demonstrator.

[0047] The short-circuit demonstration unit 5 includes a positive terminal 51 and a negative terminal 52. When the short-circuit demonstration unit 5 is powered on, if the positive terminal contacts the negative terminal, the circuit is short-circuited.

[0048] The positive terminal 51 may be a graphite electrode or an electrode made of other high melting point materials. The positive terminal is fixedly mounted on an insulating plate and connected to the output end of a mutual inductor disposed in the demonstrator housing through a thick wire.

[0049] The negative terminal 52 includes one or more pure copper electrodes, which are connected to a wiring clamp 54 provided on a base 55, and the wiring clamp 54 is connected to the output end of the transformer through a wire and a negative terminal 53. A guide rail is provided below the base 55, and the base is movably connected to the guide rail.

[0050] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the guide rail includes a lead screw 57 , a slider 56 is slidably connected to the lead screw 57 , and a base 55 is fixedly connected to the slider 56 .

[0051] A stepper motor 58 is provided at the end of the lead screw 57, and the stepper motor 58 drives the lead screw 57 to rotate, so that the slider slides on the lead screw, thereby driving the negative terminal to move back and forth along the length direction of the lead screw. During the movement of the negative terminal, the pure copper electrode will contact or separate from the positive terminal.

[0052] It is understandable that a rotating handle may also be provided at the end of the lead screw 57 to replace the stepping motor. The lead screw may be rotated by rotating the rotating handle to allow the slider to slide on the lead screw.

[0053] In another optional embodiment, a slide groove can be provided on the guide rail, a pulley is connected below the base, and the pulley is movably connected in the slide groove. The movement of the pulley in the slide groove drives the negative terminal to move back and forth along the length direction of the guide rail.

[0054] The overload demonstration unit 6 includes an overload demonstration wire 61. The overload demonstration wire can be a common thin wire, including an internal metal wire and an insulating skin wrapped around the outside of the metal wire. When an overload phenomenon occurs in the current, the overload demonstration wire will heat up, the insulating skin will melt or even burn. Both ends of the overload demonstration wire 61 are connected to the output end of the transformer through the overload terminal 62. The input end of the transformer is connected to the regulator.

[0055] The insulating board is also provided with a plurality of staggered wiring posts for supporting the overload demonstration wire 61, so as to facilitate the use of a longer overload demonstration wire 61. The longer the overload demonstration wire 61 is, the closer it is to the actual circuit situation, and the more conducive it is for people to observe the harm of circuit overload to the conductive wire.

[0056] The demonstrator further includes an indicator light 8 mounted on the insulating plate. For example, two indicator lights 8 can be provided, one of which is a yellow indicator light connected between the power switch and the input end of the regulator. As long as the demonstrator is in working state, whether the short-circuit demonstration unit is powered on or the overload demonstration unit is powered on, the yellow indicator light will be illuminated. That is, the yellow indicator light is used to indicate that the demonstrator is in working state. The other is a red indicator light connected between the output end of the regulator and the power switch. Its brightness changes according to the magnitude of the voltage or current in the circuit, and is used to indicate the degree of circuit overload or the magnitude of the circuit short-circuit voltage.

[0057] In order to exhaust the smoke generated during the demonstration as soon as possible and prevent the audience from being affected by the smoke, the demonstrator can also be equipped with a smoke alarm above the overload demonstration unit and the short circuit demonstration unit. The smoke alarm includes a smoke sensor and an alarm unit. The alarm unit can use a buzzer or a flashing light. The smoke alarm is also connected to the exhaust fan switch through a time relay. When the smoke concentration exceeds the set value, the smoke alarm will sound an alarm. At the same time, the smoke alarm starts the exhaust fan switch through the time relay to exhaust the smoke through the flue.

[0058] The demonstrator housing is also provided with a display for measuring the voltage and current values ​​measured by the voltmeter and ammeter connected to the circuit. A voltmeter and an ammeter are connected to the input end of the transformer to detect the voltage and current output by the regulator. Another voltmeter and another ammeter are connected to the output end of the transformer to detect the voltage and current of the input short-circuit demonstration unit and the overload demonstration unit.

[0059] Considering that the demonstrator may be used outdoors, it is inconvenient to connect to the mains power supply. To this end, the demonstrator provided in the embodiment of the present invention also includes a power module, which includes a battery and an inverter circuit, such as Figure 5 As shown. The battery can be a storage battery, and the inverter circuit is a voltage conversion circuit composed of a MOS switch tube and an energy storage inductor, which is used to convert the direct current provided by the battery into alternating current and has the function of increasing the voltage. The inverter circuit can convert low voltage (12 or 24 volts or 48 volts) direct current into 220 volts alternating current.

[0060] During the demonstration, turn on the power switch, move the toggle switch to the first selection branch, and turn on the first branch switch K3. Since J22 is a normally closed contact, at this time, the first contactor KM1 is energized. Under the electromagnetic action, all the normally open contacts of the first relay are closed, that is, the normally open contact J11, the normally open contact J13, the normally open contact J14, and the normally open contact J15 are closed. The normally closed contact J12 of the first relay is opened. At this time, the regulator and the overload demonstration unit 6 are powered on, and the current flowing through the overload demonstration wire can be adjusted by the regulator.

[0061] When the current is low, the red indicator light is low or has no brightness, and the circuit is not overloaded. As the current continues to increase, the power consumption and temperature of the overload demonstration wire increase, and the overload demonstration wire begins to heat up. At this time, if the current continues to increase, the temperature of the overload demonstration wire continues to rise, and the insulation skin on its outside becomes soft, melts, smokes, and even burns. Since the current in the circuit is adjustable, the duration of this demonstration process can be controlled, and the current in the circuit can be reduced at any time when the overload demonstration wire is not burning or smoking, so that the audience can feel the process of the current in the circuit decreasing and the overload demonstration wire slowly recovering.

[0062] Through the demonstration of the circuit overload hazard process, the process of fire hazard caused by circuit overload when the socket is connected to a high-power electrical appliance in daily life is simulated, so that people can understand the principle of fire and pay more attention to electricity safety.

[0063] Move the toggle switch to the second selection branch, the first contactor KM1 is powered off, the normally closed contact J12 of the first relay is closed, and the second branch switch K4 is turned on. At this time, the second contactor KM2 is energized. Under the electromagnetic action, all the normally open contacts of the second relay are closed, that is, the normally open contact J21, the normally open contact J23, the normally open contact J24, and the normally open contact J25 are closed. The normally closed contact J22 of the second relay is opened. At this time, the regulator and the short-circuit demonstration unit 5 are powered on, and the voltage at both ends of the short-circuit demonstration unit 5 can be adjusted by the regulator.

[0064] At this time, move the negative terminal so that the pure copper electrode intermittently contacts the graphite electrode. When the two electrodes contact, the circuit is short-circuited and sparks fly.

[0065] When the voltage is low, the red indicator light is low or has no brightness. At this time, there are fewer sparks and the pure copper electrode does not change much. As the voltage continues to increase, at the moment when the pure copper electrode contacts the graphite electrode, it can be observed that the current in the circuit instantly reaches a large value. Under high temperature, the end of the pure copper electrode gradually melts and deforms to form a copper nail. Similarly, in this demonstration process, the voltage of the circuit is controllable, allowing people to observe the hazards of short circuits in the circuit when the voltage is high, and improve people's awareness of electricity safety.

[0066] The current overload and short circuit hazard demonstration instrument and the circuit fault hazard demonstration device provided in the embodiment of the present invention have the same technical features, so they can also solve the same technical problems and achieve the same technical effects.
