Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable state monitoring, in particular to a mine cable detection device and method based on partial discharge signal propagation coefficient. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of coal industry, the mechanical and electrical equipment used in coal mines is constantly being updated and transformed. Since coal mines are generally underground, there are large power loads, explosive gas and coal dust, small space, relatively humid air, large water inflow, and frequent equipment movement. If a cable fault occurs, it will not only affect work efficiency, but also may cause serious damage to electrical equipment, electric shock, electrical fire, and even gas and coal dust explosion.
[0003] Partial discharge phenomenon can reflect the degree of deterioration of cable insulation to some extent, which can be used to judge the running state of mine cable. When the cable line is in normal operation, only power frequency 50Hz signal exists on the line. When partial discharge occurs in the cable, rich high-frequency signals will be generated on the line. If the high-frequency signals can be analyzed, and the characteristics of their propagation in power cables are studied, the running state of the cable can be evaluated based on this, which is of great significance for early warning of cable fault hazards, ensuring the safety of personnel, property and production equipment. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a mine cable detection device and method based on partial discharge signal propagation coefficient, which has a simple structure and can effectively measure the actual propagation coefficient of the one-way propagation of partial discharge signals in the cable. The insulation distribution coefficient of the cable can be obtained from the ratio of the actual propagation coefficient and the theoretical propagation coefficient, which reflects the insulation condition and running state of the cable, and is beneficial to predicting its service life.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, a mine cable detection device and method based on partial discharge signal propagation coefficient, comprising a single-core cable model, a signal generating system, and a measuring system.
[0006] The single-core cable model, signal generating system and measuring system are connected in sequence.
[0007] The single-core cable model comprises, in sequence from the outside to the inside, a cable sheath, a shielding layer, an outer semiconductor layer, an insulation layer, an inner semiconductor layer and a conductor layer.
[0008] The two ends of the single-core cable model are respectively connected to coaxial cables, the first end is connected to a partial discharge calibrator, and the last end is connected to an oscilloscope in the measuring system.
[0009] The signal generating system is composed of a partial discharge calibrator that can generate partial discharge signals, which is connected to the first end of the single-core cable model.
[0010] The measuring system is composed of an oscilloscope, a computer and a network analyzer. The oscilloscope is connected with the cable at both ends, collects the signal emitted by the partial discharge calibrator and the partial discharge signal at the tail end of the cable, and is connected with the computer and the network analyzer which are also part of the measuring system.
[0011] Further, the partial discharge calibrator at the head end of the cable can generate partial discharge signals with different charge amounts, and the calculation formula is:
[0012]
[0013] Wherein: U is the peak voltage of the partial discharge signal, r1 is the radius of the conductor layer (106), r2 is the radius of the insulating layer (104), ε is the dielectric constant of the insulating material, k is the proportional coefficient, and the value is 2.82.
[0014] A mine cable detection method based on the propagation coefficient of partial discharge signal, specifically comprising the following steps:
[0015] Start the partial discharge calibrator of the system, give a certain charge amount of partial discharge excitation at the head end of the cable, and collect the output signal at the tail end of the cable with an oscilloscope respectively;
[0016] At the same time of collecting the output signal, the output signal is analyzed and processed through the computer and the network analyzer connected with the oscilloscope, and the frequency spectrum distribution is obtained;
[0017] The actual propagation coefficient γ1 of the partial discharge signal in the cable is calculated, and the calculation formula is:
[0018]
[0019] Wherein: L is the length of the cable, U out is the output signal, and U in is the input signal.
[0020] Further, in step a, the charge of the partial discharge calibrator is determined according to the formula
[0021] Further, in step b, the time domain result obtained in the oscilloscope is converted into the frequency domain form by Fourier transform:
[0022] Further, the theoretical propagation coefficient γ0 of the partial discharge signal in the cable is solved, and the first order parameters R, L, C and G of the single core cable model are determined:
[0023] The solution formula of the resistance R is
[0024]
[0025] ω = 2πf
[0026] Where: μ0 is the vacuum permeability, μ co is the permeability of the conductor, σ co is the conductivity of the conductor, f is the signal frequency.
[0027] The formula for solving the inductance L is:
[0028]
[0029] When solving the capacitance C, the inner semiconductor layer (105), the insulating layer (104), and the outer semiconductor layer (103) need to be solved respectively, and the formula is:
[0030]
[0031] Where: ε x (ω) is the dielectric constant of each layer, and ε0 is the vacuum dielectric constant.
[0032] From the capacitance value of each layer, the capacitance value of the cable can be obtained, and the formula is:
[0033]
[0034] Where: C sc1 is the capacitance of the inner semiconductor layer (105), C sc2 is the capacitance of the outer semiconductor layer (103), and C ins is the capacitance of the insulating layer (104).
[0035] The formula for calculating the conductance is:
[0036]
[0037] Where: d sc1 is the thickness of the inner semiconductor layer (105), d ins is the thickness of the insulating layer (104), and d sc2 is the thickness of the outer semiconductor layer (103), and σ ins is the conductivity of the insulating layer.
[0038] The theoretical propagation coefficient γ0 of the partial discharge signal when propagating unidirectionally in the cable is:
[0039]
[0040] Further, the insulation uniform distribution coefficient P of the cable is calculated, and the formula is:
[0041]
[0042] The insulation uniformity coefficient P can be used to assess the insulation condition and operating status of a cable. When 0.9 ≤ P ≤ 1.2, the cable insulation condition is good and the operating status is stable; when P > 1.2 or P < 0.9, the cable insulation is severely aged and the operating status is unstable.
[0043] Compared with existing technologies, this paper proposes a detection device and method for mining cables based on the propagation coefficient of partial discharge signals. It sets up a single-core cable model, a signal generation system, and a measurement system. A partial discharge signal is emitted through a partial discharge calibrator to simulate the operation of a power cable when partial discharge occurs. While simplifying the system, it makes it closer to actual working conditions, ensuring measurement accuracy. The signals at both ends of the single-core cable are measured using an oscilloscope, and the measured signals are analyzed in the frequency domain using a PC to determine their propagation coefficient. This coefficient is then compared with theoretical calculations to obtain the uniform distribution coefficient of the cable's insulation. This provides a reference for evaluating the cable's insulation performance and aging condition, and is beneficial for predicting the cable's service life. Attached Figure Description

[0054] Furthermore, the partial discharge calibrator 201 at the cable end can generate partial discharge signals with different charge amounts, calculated using the following formula:
[0055]
[0056] Where: U is the peak voltage of the partial discharge signal, r1 is the radius of the conductor layer (106), r2 is the radius of the insulating layer (104), ε is the dielectric constant of the insulating material, and k is the proportionality coefficient, which is taken as 2.82.

[0058] The partial discharge calibrator 201 of the system is activated, and a certain amount of partial discharge excitation with charge is given at the beginning of the cable. The output signal at the end of the cable is collected by the oscilloscope 301.
[0059] While acquiring the output signal, the computer 302 and network analyzer 303 connected to the oscilloscope 301 analyze and process the output signal to obtain its spectrum distribution.

[0062] Where: L is the cable length, U out For the output signal, U in This is the input signal.
[0063] Furthermore, in step a, according to the formula Determine the charge emitted by the partial discharge detector 201
[0064] Furthermore, in step b, the time-domain result obtained from the oscilloscope 301 is transformed into a frequency-domain result using Fourier transform:

[0070] The formula for calculating the inductance L is:
[0071]
[0072] When solving for capacitance C, it is necessary to solve for the inner semiconductor layer (105), the insulating layer (104), and the outer semiconductor layer (103) separately. The formula is as follows:

[0089] An oscilloscope is used to acquire the output signal at the end of the cable, and a computer and network analyzer perform a Fourier transform on the output signal.
[0090] By analyzing the ratio of the input signal to the output signal, the actual propagation coefficient of the signal in the cable is determined to be γ1 = 0.17 + j7;
[0091] By modeling the cable and determining its primary parameters R, L, C, and G, the theoretical propagation coefficient γ0 of the signal in the cable can be calculated as 0.16 + j6.8.
[0092] According to the formula, the insulation uniformity coefficient of the cable is P = 0.972, indicating that the cable has good insulation.
[0093] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the present invention provides a mining cable detection device and method based on the propagation coefficient of partial discharge signals. By comparing the theoretical propagation coefficient and the actual propagation coefficient of partial discharge signals in the cable, the insulation uniformity distribution parameters of the cable are calculated, thereby assessing the insulation aging degree of the cable and helping to predict the operating condition of the cable. In the above embodiments, the present invention is only described illustratively; however, those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention after reading this patent application.
