The accessory monitoring circuit 24 is connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23, and the power supply circuit 22 supplies power to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 and the accessory monitoring circuit 24. The accessory monitoring circuit 24 is used to connect to the circuit breaker accessories and collect the operating voltage of the circuit breaker accessories. The single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 determines whether the circuit breaker accessories are faulty based on the operating voltage.

[0037] For the accessory protection module of the circuit breaker of the present invention, the operating voltage of the circuit breaker accessories is monitored by the accessory monitoring circuit 24, and the operating state of the circuit breaker accessories is calculated by the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23.

The plurality of circuit breaker accessories are respectively a first accessory or a second accessory. The accessory monitoring circuit 24 includes a first monitoring circuit for monitoring the operating voltage across the first accessory and a second monitoring circuit for monitoring the operating voltage across the second accessory. Of course, the plurality of circuit breaker accessories can also all be first accessories or all be second accessories, which all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Furthermore, the first monitoring circuit includes a differential amplifier circuit. The input end of the differential amplifier circuit is connected to the power input end of the first accessory, and the output end of the differential amplifier circuit is connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23.

The single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 obtains the effective voltage value based on the signal of the accessory monitoring circuit 24 and determines whether there is a fault in the first accessory according to the obtained effective voltage value.

[0042] Further, the second monitoring circuit includes an optocoupler.

Generally, the operating characteristic of the under-voltage release is that it can be reliably released when the power supply terminal voltage is 0.35Ue, and can be reliably attracted when the power supply terminal voltage is 0.7Ue. The single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 compares the effective voltage value obtained from the signal of the accessory monitoring circuit 24 with a preset under-voltage threshold value to judge whether there is a fault in the under-voltage release 12.

If the breaker accessory is normally connected and there is no wire break, a working current will be generated; conversely, if there is a wire break fault in the breaker accessory, no working current will be generated, and a fault occurs in the breaker accessory.

[0063] The function of the accessory monitoring circuit 24 is to collect the voltage across the breaker accessory (such as the closing electromagnet), while the function of the accessory monitoring circuit 25 is to collect the current (flowing through the electromagnet). For example, the input terminals 31 and 32 of the accessory monitoring circuit 24 are respectively connected to the two terminals of the electromagnet coil of the closing electromagnet. The input terminal 32 of the accessory control circuit 26 is connected to one end of the electromagnet coil, and the other end of the electromagnet coil is connected to the power supply voltage, forming a connection of the electromagnet coil in series to the power supply voltage, which plays a role in collecting the current of the electromagnet coil. When it is detected that the electromagnetic coil is energized for a long time, the coil circuit can be disconnected from the power supply through the accessory control circuit 26, which has the advantage of protecting the coil from being damaged by heating.

[0064] The accessory protection module 2 of this embodiment can not only cut off the power supply of the breaker accessory through the accessory control circuit 26 when a fault occurs in the breaker accessory, but also the accessory monitoring circuit 25 can monitor the working state of the breaker accessory through the accessory control circuit 26, greatly improving the reliability of the breaker.

[0065] AsFigure 9 , 10 As shown in 10 , this embodiment includes multiple breaker accessories and multiple accessory control circuits 26. The multiple breaker accessories are respectively the first accessory or the second accessory. The multiple accessory control circuits 26 are used to control the multiple second accessories respectively, and the operating principles of the multiple accessory control circuits 26 are the same.

[0066] The multiple second accessories are respectively a shunt trip 13, a closing electromagnet 14, and a charging motor 15. The multiple accessory control circuits 26 are respectively a shunt control circuit connected to the shunt trip 13, a closing control circuit connected to the closing electromagnet 14, and a motor control circuit connected to the charging motor 15. The operating principles of the shunt control circuit, the closing control circuit, and the motor control circuit are the same, and they are only used to control different breaker accessories. The relays of the shunt control circuit, the closing control circuit, and the motor control circuit are respectively connected to the power input terminals of the corresponding breaker accessories.

[0067] Furthermore, it includes multiple accessory monitoring circuits 25. The multiple accessory monitoring circuits 25 are used to monitor the multiple second accessories respectively, and the operating principles of the multiple accessory monitoring circuits 25 are the same. The multiple accessory monitoring circuits 25 are respectively a shunt monitoring circuit of the trip connected to the shunt control circuit, a closing monitoring circuit of the trip connected to the closing control circuit, and a motor control circuit of the trip connected to the motor control circuit. The operating principles of the shunt monitoring circuit, the monitoring circuit, and the motor control circuit are the same, and they are only used to monitor different breaker accessories. The input terminals of the voltage amplification circuits of the shunt monitoring circuit, the monitoring circuit, and the motor control circuit are respectively connected to the corresponding accessory monitoring circuits 25.

[0068] As Figure 12 shown in the preferred embodiment of the accessory control circuit 26 and the accessory monitoring circuit 25, the accessory control circuit 26 includes a relay K1. One end of the normally closed contact of the relay K1 is connected to the live wire through the breaker accessory, and the other end of the normally closed contact of the relay K1 is connected to the neutral wire through a resistor R53.

The emitter of the triode Q1 is grounded, and the base of the triode Q1 is connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 through a resistor R52.

[0069] In this embodiment, the power supply of the breaker accessory is controlled by the relay K1. When the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 outputs a high level, the normally closed contact of the relay K1 disconnects, and the breaker accessory loses power. When the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 outputs a low level, the normally closed contact of the relay K1 closes, and the breaker accessory gets power.

[0070] As Figure 12Shows a preferred embodiment of the accessory monitoring circuit 25, which includes a monitoring resistor and a voltage amplification circuit. The voltage amplification circuit includes a first voltage amplification circuit and a second voltage amplification circuit. The first voltage amplification circuit is connected to both ends of the monitoring resistor, and the second voltage amplification circuit is connected to the output end of the first voltage amplification circuit. The voltage drop across the monitoring resistor is amplified twice by the first voltage amplification circuit and the second voltage amplification circuit and then transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23.

[0071] Preferably, the monitoring resistor is a resistor R53 connected in series with the relay K1 of the accessory control circuit 26. Of course, the monitoring resistor may not be connected in series with the relay K1.

[0072] Specifically, one end of the resistor R53 is connected in series with the relay K1 of the accessory control circuit 26. The first voltage amplification circuit includes an operational amplifier U3AA, and the second voltage amplification circuit includes an operational amplifier U3BB.

The non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U3AA is connected to the voltage reference terminal (1.5V) through the resistor R58; the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U3BB is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier U3AA through the resistor R50, the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U3BB is connected to the voltage reference terminal (1.5V) through the resistor R56, the output terminal of the operational amplifier U3BB is respectively connected to the resistor R51 and the resistor R42, the other end of the resistor R51 is connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23, and the other end of the resistor R42 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U3BB.

[0073] When the relay K1 is closed, current passes through the resistor R53, so there is a voltage drop across the resistor R53. The voltage drop is amplified by two-stage operational amplifiers, and the amplified signal is input to the AD port of the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23. Based on the AD signal of the accessory monitoring circuit 25 obtained by the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23, the working current of the circuit breaker accessory is calculated to determine whether the circuit breaker accessory is working normally, such as whether it is normally closed.

[0074] Such as Figure 10The first working mode of the accessory protection module 2 is shown. The bus interface circuit 21 of the accessory protection module 2 is connected to the internal bus of the intelligent controller 11, and the external bus of the intelligent controller 11 is connected to the background monitoring software. The accessory protection module 2 monitors the status of each circuit breaker accessory in real time and transmits it to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 for storage. The intelligent controller 11 queries (accesses) the status information of the circuit breaker accessories in the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 at intervals (such as 1 second). After pre-processing the query results, the intelligent controller 11 transmits the data to the background monitoring software through the external bus. The background monitoring software can be cloud service, or an upper PC, or a mobile phone APP, etc.

[0075] Such as Figure 11 The second working mode of the accessory protection module 2 is shown. The accessory protection module 2 is connected to the upper computer (client host) through the bus interface circuit 21. The background software of the upper computer monitors the status of each circuit breaker accessory in real time through the bus interface circuit 21 and can perform power-off control on each circuit breaker accessory through the accessory control circuit 26 to avoid damage to individual accessories due to long-term power-on.

The programmable logic interface circuit 29 includes a DI input detection circuit and a DO output circuit. The output end of the DI input detection circuit and the input end of the DO output circuit are respectively connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23. The input end of the DI input detection circuit and the output end of the DO output circuit are respectively connected to the user DI input signal \ DO output. The single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 can recognize the input signal of the DI input detection circuit, and the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 can control the output signal of the DO output circuit.

[0078] The single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 can recognize the input signal of the DI input detection circuit and control the output signal of the DO output circuit. The user can perform various custom settings through the programmable logic interface circuit 29. For example, by sending a serial port instruction from the intelligent controller 11, controlling the relay K4 of the DO output circuit to act, realizing functions such as circuit breaker area interlock, remote opening and closing, etc., which can not only reduce the difficulty of installation, maintenance and debugging, but also be more convenient to use.

[0079] Further, the accessory protection module 2 further includes a drawer seat position detection circuit 28. When the circuit breaker body 1 is in use, it needs to move between the separated position, test position, and connection position of the drawer seat to disconnect, test, and conduct the circuit breaker body 1. The drawer seat position detection circuit 28 includes three microswitches respectively arranged at the separated position, test position, and connection position, and three trigger detection circuits respectively connected to the three microswitches. The three trigger detection circuits are respectively connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23. When the circuit breaker body 1 moves to the separated position, test position, and connection position respectively, the corresponding microswitch is triggered, and a signal is output to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 through the trigger detection circuit to detect the position of the circuit breaker body 1 in the drawer seat in real time. The drawer seat position detection circuit 28 is the same as the position detection circuit 240.

[0080] Further, the accessory protection module 2 further includes a switch state detection circuit 27 connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23. The switch state detection circuit 27 is used to connect to the switch state microswitch of the circuit breaker body 1. The switch state microswitch cooperates with the main contacts of the circuit breaker body 1 to indicate the position of the main contacts and transmit it to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23. The closing and opening states of the circuit breaker are monitored through the switch state microswitch. When the circuit breaker body 1 is closed, the switch state microswitch remains closed; when the circuit breaker body 1 is opened, the switch state microswitch remains open. The switch state microswitch is installed on the circuit breaker body, and its working state is the same as that of the main contacts of the circuit breaker, that is, when the circuit breaker is closed, the switch state microswitch can be triggered to keep it closed, and when the circuit breaker is opened, the switch state microswitch remains open.

[0081] As Figure 18 shown, the working principle of the switch state detection circuit 27 is the same as that of the position detection circuit 240, the trigger detection circuit, and the second monitoring circuit, except that the input of the detection circuit has changed. The power supply L is connected to the input end of the switch state detection circuit 27 after passing through the microswitch WD1 synchronized with the circuit breaker, and the other input end of the switch state detection circuit 27 is connected to the power supply N; when the microswitch WD1 is closed, the PB1 point output by the optocoupler is at a high level; when the microswitch is open, the PB1 point output by the optocoupler is at a low level.

[0082] As Figure 16Shows a preferred embodiment of the DI input detection circuit. The single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 can identify the input signal of the DI input detection circuit, and the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 can control the output signal of the DO output circuit. The DI input detection circuit includes an optocoupler U30. The optocoupler U30 includes a cooperating light-emitting diode and an output triode. The positive pole of the light-emitting diode of the optocoupler U30 is sequentially connected to the J7 input terminal of the DI input detection circuit through resistors R32, R33, R34, R35, R36, and R37. The negative pole of the light-emitting diode of the optocoupler U30 is connected to the J8 input terminal of the DI input detection circuit. One end of the output triode of the optocoupler U30 is connected to the power supply circuit 22. The other end of the output triode of the optocoupler U30 is respectively connected to the IO port of the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 and the resistor R25. The other end of the resistor R25 is grounded. Users can perform various custom settings through the output of the DO output circuit. The DO output circuit can also be used to output the working state of the breaker accessory. For example, in the case of the working state of the breaker accessory, a fault signal is output when the breaker accessory fails, or it can also be a signal for controlling other breakers to achieve functions such as regional interlocking.

[0083] A voltage state detection circuit is formed through the optocoupler U30. When there is an external input voltage, the E pole of the output triode of the optocoupler U30 is at a high level, and vice versa at a low level. The single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 identifies the state of the DI input detection circuit by judging the level of the E pole of the output triode of the optocoupler U30. The figure only shows one path schematically. In actual applications, multiple DI input detection circuits can be respectively connected to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23.

[0084] Such as Figure 17 Shows a preferred embodiment of the DO output circuit. The DO output circuit includes a relay K4, a triode Q30, and an optocoupler U90. The two ends of the normally open contact of the relay K4 are respectively connected to the two output terminals of the DO output circuit. The triode Q30 and the coil of the relay K4 are connected in series with the power supply. The optocoupler U90 can turn on the triode Q30 through the base of the triode Q30, so that the coil of the relay K4 is energized to attract the action of the normally open contact of the relay K4;

[0085] Optocoupler U90 includes a cooperating light-emitting diode and output triode. One end of the light-emitting diode of optocoupler U90 is connected to power supply circuit 22 via resistor R800, and the other end is connected to the I / O of microcontroller circuit 23. The E pole of the output triode of optocoupler U90 is grounded, and the collector of the output triode of optocoupler U90 is connected to the base of triode Q30. One end of the coil of relay K4 is respectively connected to the power supply, the positive pole of diode D30, and resistor R30. The other end of the coil of relay K4 is respectively connected to the collector of triode Q30 and the negative pole of diode D30. The other end of resistor R30 is connected to the base of triode Q30, and the emitter of triode Q30 is grounded. When the I / O port of microcontroller circuit 23 outputs a high level, the normally open contact of relay K4 closes; otherwise, the normally open contact of K4 opens. The figure only shows one path, and in actual application, it can be a multi-channel DO output circuit.

[0086] As a preferred embodiment of drawer seat position detection circuit 28, drawer seat position detection circuit 28 includes a separating microswitch, a test microswitch, and a connecting microswitch respectively arranged at the separating position, test position, and connecting position to cooperate with circuit breaker body 1, and a separating trigger circuit respectively connected to the separating microswitch, a test trigger circuit connected to the test microswitch, and a connecting trigger circuit connected to the connecting microswitch.

The separating trigger circuit, test trigger circuit, and connecting trigger circuit are respectively used to detect whether there is voltage between the separating microswitch, test microswitch, and connecting microswitch and the neutral wire.

[0087] When circuit breaker body 1 moves to the separating position, test position, and connecting position, it can respectively trigger the microswitches at the corresponding positions, and output signals to microcontroller circuit 23 through the detection trigger circuit. When the detection trigger circuit at the separating position outputs a signal to microcontroller circuit 23, it indicates that circuit breaker body 1 has moved to the separating position. The same applies to the test position and connecting position.

[0088] Refer to Figure 4Shows a preferred embodiment of the trigger detection circuit. The trigger detection circuit in this embodiment is the same as the second monitoring circuit described above, that is, the working principles of the separation trigger circuit, the test trigger circuit, and the connection trigger circuit are the same. Only the input end of the second monitoring circuit is connected to the power input end of the circuit breaker accessory, used to detect whether there is voltage at the power input end of the circuit breaker accessory. While the positive and negative poles of the light-emitting diode of the optocoupler U11 in the trigger detection circuit are respectively connected to the neutral wire of the microswitch. That is, the positive pole of the light-emitting diode of the optocoupler U11 passes through the resistor R77, the voltage-regulating diode DZ6, the resistor R78, the resistor R79, the resistor R80, and the diode D11 in sequence, and the negative pole of the light-emitting diode of the optocoupler U11 passes through the resistor R83 and is respectively connected to the neutral wire of the microswitch, used to detect whether there is voltage at the neutral wire of the microswitch. When the circuit breaker body 1 moves to the separation position, the test position, and the connection position, the corresponding microswitch is triggered. When the microswitch operates, it can form a current between the diode D11 and the resistor R83 in the corresponding second monitoring circuit, making the light-emitting diode of the optocoupler U11 emit light and turn on the output triode of the optocoupler U11. Then, the signal is output to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 through the output triode of U11. If the output triode of the optocoupler U11 at the separation position outputs the signal to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23, it indicates that the circuit breaker body 1 has moved to the separation position. The test position and the connection position are the same.

[0089] Furthermore, the accessory protection module 2 further includes a switch state detection circuit 27. The switch state detection circuit 27 detects the switch state and then connects to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 to monitor the state of the circuit breaker switch in real time.

The bus interface circuit 21 of the accessory protection module 2 is connected to the internal bus of the intelligent controller 11, and the external bus of the intelligent controller 11 is connected to the background monitoring software. The accessory protection module 2 monitors the states of each circuit breaker accessory in real time and transmits them to the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 for storage. The intelligent controller 11 queries (accesses) the circuit breaker accessory state information in the single-chip microcomputer circuit 23 at intervals (such as 1 second). The intelligent controller 11 pre-processes the query results and then transmits them to the background monitoring software through the external bus.

[0091] As Figure 15 Shows the second working mode of the accessory protection module 2. The accessory protection module 2 is connected to the host computer (client host) through the bus interface circuit 21. The background software of the host computer monitors the states of each circuit breaker accessory in real time through the bus interface circuit 21 and can perform power-off control on each circuit breaker accessory through the accessory control circuit 26 to avoid damage to individual accessories due to long-term power-on.

Without improving the existing breaker accessories, the monitoring and intelligent control of the breaker can be realized. In addition, a position detection circuit is provided, which cooperates with the corresponding switch set to detect whether the mechanical action of the breaker is in place, and can be fed back to the intelligent controller or the upper computer of the breaker through the bus interface circuit to realize the intelligent control of the breaker. In addition, a programmable logic interface circuit is also provided, which can be used to realize customized control to meet different requirements.
