Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of maintenance equipment for nuclear power plants, and particularly relates to a relay test device and a tester. Background Art

[0002] At present, during the nuclear power plant maintenance process, there are many operations for testing relays. Especially when inspecting each control loop, a large number of relays need to be tested. The commonly used relays include coils with different rated voltage specifications such as AC 220V, DC 110V, DC 48V, DC 24V, and DC 12V. Different power supplies are required to test relays with different rated voltage specifications.

[0003] One traditional method for testing relays is to use power supplies with different voltage levels such as AC 220V, DC 110V, DC 48V, DC 24V, and DC 12V to test relays with different rated voltages. However, this method requires multiple power supplies, and all of them need a cable reel to obtain power from the plant maintenance power socket, resulting in a large number of tools used for the relay testing operation and a large amount of human and material resources invested. Another method for testing relays is to use the characteristics of a single-phase relay protection tester that can externally provide different levels of voltage such as AC 220V, DC 110V, DC 48V, DC 24V, and DC 12V to test relays with different rated voltages. Since the single-phase relay protection tester is not a dedicated tool for testing relays, when using the single-phase relay protection tester to test relays, a cable reel is also needed to draw power from the plant maintenance power socket for the single-phase relay protection tester to use. One operator operates the single-phase relay protection tester to output the required voltage, and another operator connects the lead-out wire of the single-phase relay protection tester to the relay to be tested to supply power to the relay for testing. However, for this method, each time a relay is tested, the cable led out from the single-phase relay protection instrument needs to be connected to the relay once, and there are many relays to be tested in each control loop, resulting in low efficiency and long time for the relay testing operation. Moreover, the single-phase relay protection instrument is large in size and heavy in weight, making it inconvenient to move the single-phase relay protection instrument during the operation. Moving it will consume a large amount of manpower and time, and there are various unknown risks during this period.

[0004] Therefore, the traditional technical solutions have problems such as a serious dependence on external power supplies during on-site relay testing, high on-site power consumption risks, low efficiency and long time for relay testing operations, inconvenient operation of testing equipment, low testing reliability, and large consumption of human and material resources.

When the first drive power supply is selected and turned on, the second light-emitting diode D8 lights up, and so on for the others. It realizes the indication of different output drive power supplies, so that the test staff can understand and select a suitable drive power supply according to the type of the relay to be tested, and avoid accidents such as inaccurate testing or burning out the relay to be tested caused by the mismatch between the selected drive power supply and the rated voltage of the relay to be tested.

[0102] The following combines Figure 7 , and briefly explains the working principle of a relay test device:

[0103] The battery power supply passes through the first resistor R1, the inverter drive unit 122, the first triode Q1, the second triode Q2, and the multi-tap transformer T2. At the first end of the first secondary winding Nb1 of the multi-tap transformer T2, the first end of the second secondary winding Nb2 of the tap transformer T2, the first end of the third secondary winding Nb3 of the multi-tap transformer T2, the first end of the fourth secondary winding Nb4 of the multi-tap transformer T2, and the first end of the fifth secondary winding Nb5 of the multi-tap transformer T2, the first AC voltage, the second AC voltage, the third AC voltage, the fourth AC voltage, and the fifth AC voltage are respectively induced. Among them, the first AC voltage is the first drive power supply of 220V. The second AC voltage, the third AC voltage, the fourth AC voltage, and the fifth AC voltage are respectively rectified and filtered by the first diode D1 and the first capacitor C1, the second diode D2 and the second capacitor C2, the third diode D3 and the third capacitor C3, and the fourth diode D4 and the fourth capacitor C4, and then the second drive power supply (110V DC power supply), the third drive power supply (48V DC power supply), the fourth drive power supply (24V DC power supply), and the fifth drive power supply (12V DC power supply) are respectively output.

[0104] When a DC 12V is required to test the relay under test, the inspection working state indicator light (the first light-emitting diode D13) is lit. The 12V relay to be tested is connected to the test interface module 15, and the multi-position selection switch F2 is rotated to the fifth position 5. At this time, the fifth drive power supply (12V DC power supply) is loaded onto the coil K5-1 of the fifth relay K5 through the "5" position of the multi-position selection switch F2. The coil K5-1 of the fifth relay K5 is energized to generate excitation, so that the normally open contact K5-2 of the fifth relay K5 is closed, thereby conducting the fifth drive power supply to the test interface module 15 to supply power to the relay under test for testing. At the same time, the sixth light-emitting diode D12 indicates the fifth drive power supply.

[0105] For other power consumption requirements, refer to the power consumption operation of the fifth drive power supply, which will not be elaborated here. Through the first to fifth positions of the multi-position selection switch F2, the first drive power supply (220V AC power supply), the second drive power supply (110V DC power supply), the third drive power supply (48V DC power supply), the fourth drive power supply (24V DC power supply), and the fifth drive power supply (12V DC power supply) can be respectively selected to supply power to the relays under test with different rated voltage specifications for testing, and the first drive power supply, the second drive power supply, the third drive power supply, the fourth drive power supply, and the fifth drive power supply can be respectively indicated by the corresponding second light-emitting diode D8, third light-emitting diode D9, fourth light-emitting diode D10, fifth light-emitting diode D11, and sixth light-emitting diode D12.

[0106] After the test is completed, rotate the multi-gear selection switch F2 of the relay test device to the sixth gear (0), check that the working status indicator light (the first light-emitting diode D13) is turned off, and then turn off the power start switch F1. Charge the relay test device for standby. If it is not used for a long time, it needs to be charged at intervals to prevent battery damage.

The box body 6 is provided with a charging access socket F0, and this socket is a common pin-shaped socket with a standard grounding port.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present invention, multiple driving power supplies are output through the built-in power supply, and the corresponding driving power supply is selected to be connected to the relay under test according to the test requirements, so as to achieve the purpose of testing multiple relays simultaneously, improve the efficiency of relay test operations, avoid the need to replace different external power supplies when testing different relays, reduce the investment of manpower and material resources, the tester is convenient to move and operate, the test reliability and practicability are high, and the power consumption risk during long-term on-site test operations relying on external power supplies and multiple people is reduced.
