Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and in particular relates to a transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit. Background Art

[0002] The differential protection signal is a transformer leakage protection signal. When the differential protection signal is triggered, the transformer is powered off, thereby playing a protective role to prevent the leakage from worsening and causing accidents such as fire. The differential protection signal is an extremely short contact signal. When the signal is triggered, the transformer power supply will be immediately disconnected, and the differential protection signal will disappear immediately. It usually lasts for about 50ms (milliseconds).

[0003] The fire alarm system connects detectors, modules and other equipment in series through bus communication to form a loop, and the fire alarm controller completes the communication by inspecting the equipment in the loop one by one. In the design of some industrial fields such as nuclear power plants and thermal power plants, the transformer differential protection signal is introduced into the fire alarm system. When the transformer differential protection signal is triggered, it can be used as an early warning of the transformer area fire alarm, and can also participate in the transformer area fire linkage control. However, in the relevant technology, the inspection cycle of the fire alarm system loop is much longer than the millisecond level, and the differential protection signal is highly likely not to be captured by the fire alarm system module when it is triggered. Therefore, how to make the fire alarm system effectively capture the differential protection signal has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

Detailed implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit includes: the first power supply U1, the first relay Relay2, the capacitor C6, the first reverse diode D1, the second reverse diode D4, and the first terminal block J2. The first relay Relay2 is used to control the operation of the first switch (t1, t2, t3) and the second switch (t4, t5, t6). Among them, the first switch and the second switch can be single-pole double-throw switches. The first terminal block J2 includes the first terminal J2-2, the second terminal J2-3, the third terminal J2-4, and the fourth terminal J2-5;

[0032] The capacitor C6 is connected in parallel with the coil of the first relay Relay2 to form a parallel sub-module. One end of the parallel sub-module is grounded, and the other end of the parallel sub-module is connected to the fourth terminal J2-5 through the first reverse diode D1;

[0033] The input end t1 of the first switch is connected to the first power supply U1 through the second reverse diode D4. The first output end t2 of the first switch is connected between the parallel sub-module and the first reverse diode D1, and the second output end t3 of the first switch is connected to the third terminal J2-4;

[0034] The input end t4 of the second switch is connected to the first terminal J2-2. The first output end t5 of the second switch is connected to the second terminal J2-3, and the second output end J2-3 of the second switch is open;

[0035] The third terminal J2-4 and the fourth terminal J2-5 can be connected to the monitoring module of the fire alarm system. When the transformer differential protection signal is not input by the monitoring module of the fire alarm system, the first relay Relay2 is de-energized. The input end t1 of the first switch is connected to the second output end t3 of the first switch through the gate of the first switch, and the input end t4 of the second switch is connected to the second output end t6 of the second switch through the gate of the second switch.

[0036] When the transformer differential protection signal is input by the monitoring module of the fire alarm system through the third terminal J2-4 and the fourth terminal J2-5, the capacitor C6 is charged and supplies power to the first relay Relay2. The first relay Relay2 is energized, causing the gates of the first switch and the second switch to act, connecting the input end t1 of the first switch to the first output end t2 of the first switch, and connecting the input end t4 of the second switch to the first output end t5 of the second switch. In this way, the first power supply U1 is connected to the first relay Relay2, continuously supplying power to the first relay Relay2, and keeping the input end t4 of the second switch connected to the first output end t5 of the second switch, so that the first terminal and the second terminal are connected, continuously outputting a normally closed signal to the fire alarm system, enabling the fire alarm system to receive the differential protection signal in a timely manner.

[0037] In a possible implementation, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit further includes a reset switch S1. The reset switch S1 is a normally closed switch and is connected between the input end t1 of the first switch and the first reverse diode D4. When the input end t1 of the first switch is connected to the first output end t2 of the first switch, disconnecting the reset switch S1 can reset the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit.

[0038] Through the circuit structure cooperation of the first power supply, the first relay, the capacitor, the first reverse diode, the second reverse diode, and the first terminal block, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit of the present disclosure converts the captured differential pulse signal into a normally closed contact signal and outputs it externally after capturing the differential pulse signal, enabling the fire alarm system to receive the differential protection signal in a timely manner. In addition, the capacitor is fully charged during the signal capture process and supplies power to the first relay, which can appropriately extend the energization time of the relay, effectively preventing the phenomenon that the gate is not in place during the energization control process of the first relay, and ensuring the success rate of signal capture. Further, the output circuit of the normally closed signal and the power supply circuit of the first relay are independent in the present disclosure, effectively avoiding the situation where an internal loop is formed when the differential signal does not disappear after the differential signal triggers the first switch to close, increasing the stability of the circuit.

[0039] In a possible implementation, the capacitance of the capacitor ranges from 0.00001 to 0.00002 farads, and the discharge time of the capacitor ranges from 30 to 50 milliseconds. Since the shortest differential signal is 50 ms, the capacitance of the capacitor ranging from 0.00001 to 0.00002 farads ensures that the capacitor is fully charged within 50 ms. In addition, the discharge time of the capacitor is 30 - 50 milliseconds. Since the operating time of the relay is about 20 milliseconds and considering that the relay cannot work when the voltage is too low, the discharge at the end is actually ineffective. Therefore, the discharge duration of the capacitor between 30 and 50 milliseconds fully guarantees the power supply requirement for the relay to complete its operation.

[0040] In a possible implementation, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit further includes a first indicator light LED1, and the first indicator light LED1 is connected in parallel with the first relay Relay2. The first indicator light can indicate whether the transformer differential protection signal is input.

[0041] In a possible implementation, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit further includes: a second relay Relay1, a third switch, and a second terminal block J1. The second terminal block J1 includes a fifth terminal J1-1 and a sixth terminal J1-5;

[0042] The coil of the second relay Relay1 is connected to the second power supply U2, and the second power supply U2 is used to supply power to the fire alarm system;

[0043] When the second power supply U2 supplies power, the second relay Relay1 is in the energized state. The second switch is closed to connect the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal to output a normally closed signal, and this normally closed signal is used to indicate that the fire alarm system is powered normally.

[0044] When the second power supply U2 does not supply power, the second relay Relay1 is in the de-energized state. The second switch is opened to form an open circuit between the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal to output a normally open signal, and this normally open signal is used to indicate that the fire alarm system has lost power.

[0045] In a possible implementation, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit further includes a second indicator light LED2, and the second indicator light LED2 is connected in parallel with the second relay Relay1. The second indicator light can indicate whether the fire alarm system has lost power.

[0046] In a possible implementation, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit further includes: a third power supply U3, a fourth power supply U4, a normally open switch, a chip U2A, a variable resistor, and a diode D6; wherein, the variable resistor can be a variable resistor module, and the variable resistor module can include a plurality of resistors and a plurality of DIP switches. Each resistor is connected in series with a DIP switch to form a resistor sub-module, and a plurality of resistor sub-modules are connected in parallel to form a variable resistor module. The total resistance value of the variable resistor module can be set by controlling the switches of each resistor sub-module. In addition, the variable resistor can also be a sliding variable resistor.

[0047] The third power supply U3 is connected to the first input terminal of the chip U2A through the normally open switch, and the fourth power supply U4 is connected to the second input terminal of the chip U2A through the variable resistor;

[0048] The output terminal of the chip U2A is connected to the positive electrode of the diode, and the negative electrode of the diode is connected to the coil of the first relay Relay2;

[0049] When the normally open switch is closed, the power supply inputs a trigger signal to the first input terminal, and the output terminal of the chip U2A outputs a pulse signal. This pulse signal is used to simulate the transformer differential protection signal, and the pulse width of this pulse signal changes with the resistance value of the variable resistor.

[0050] In a possible implementation, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit further includes a first jumper JP1, and the first jumper JP1 is connected between the diode and the first relay Relay2. In a possible implementation, the transformer differential protection signal conversion circuit further includes a second jumper JP2, and the second jumper JP2 is connected between the second power supply U2 and the second relay Relay1. In this way, the connection or disconnection of the first jumper and the second jumper can be controlled as needed, so as to select functions such as power failure alarm and / or transformer differential trigger.

[0051] The above has described the embodiments of the present disclosure. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
