[0002] In the prior art, a circuit breaker is an important control and protection device related to power distribution products. It can quickly disconnect the fault current when circuit faults such as overload and short circuit occur in the circuit, protecting power distribution products and other electrical equipment.

[0032] Next, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device 1 provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the electronic device 1 includes: a circuit breaker 14, at least one detection device 13, at least one processor 12, and at least one memory 10. Each component in the electronic device 1 is connected through a bus 11. The detection device 13 is used to detect the working - state parameters of the circuit breaker 14 within a period of time. The processor 12 is connected to the detection device 13, Figure 1Take a processor 12 as an example. The memory 10 stores instructions that can be executed by at least one processor 12. The instructions are executed by at least one processor 12 to enable the at least one processor 12 to execute the circuit breaker monitoring method in the following embodiments.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of an application product of the circuit breaker monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the electronic device 1 can be used as a modularized general component. During the production and assembly process of terminal products, due to the need for electrical safety in the application environment or the need to assemble a circuit breaker 14, etc., it cooperates with the terminal product to form a terminal product with a circuit breaker 14 whose working state can be monitored; it can also be used as a component of an electrical device, connected to other components in the terminal product during production and assembly, and designed as an integrated terminal product.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic hardware structure diagram for implementing the circuit breaker monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, a microcontroller unit 120 (MCU(I / O)) is integrated in the electronic device 1 as a combination of the processor 12 and the memory 10 to execute the circuit breaker monitoring method in the following embodiments. The microcontroller unit 120 is connected to at least one detection device 13 to obtain working state parameters related to the circuit breaker 14. The microcontroller unit 120 is also connected to a power supply circuit 100. The power supply circuit 100 supplies power to the microcontroller unit 120 by connecting to the external live wire L and neutral wire N. The power supply circuit 100 can also supply power to other detection devices 13 to achieve real-time monitoring of the working state parameters of the circuit breaker (for clearer representation, the circuit breaker 14 and the connection relationship between the circuit breaker 14 and other detection devices 13 are not marked in the figure).

[0036] The detection device 13 can be combined with the mutual inductor 130 and the mutual inductor current detection circuit 131 to detect the operating current value of the circuit breaker. The mutual inductor 130 is mounted on the live wire to output current-related signals. The mutual inductor current detection circuit 131 processes the received signals to obtain the current value and sends it to the micro control unit 120. The detection device 13 can also include a thermocouple temperature detection device 132 or a disconnection times detection device 133 of the circuit breaker 14, which is used to output the temperature value or the disconnection times of the circuit breaker 14 to the micro control unit 120. Among them, the thermocouple is located at the connection between the main wire of the circuit breaker 14 and the terminal of the terminal power distribution product. The micro control unit 120 can also directly determine the fault disconnection type and the fault disconnection times of the circuit breaker 14 based on the operating current value of the circuit breaker 14. The above detection device 13 can select at least one according to the needs of the application environment or application products, etc. Based on different situations, the number and types of the specifically selected detection device 13 are also different.

[0037] The electronic device 1 can also selectively carry related prompting devices such as a display device 15, such as an indicator light. The micro control unit 120 is connected to the display device 15 to output a corresponding prompting signal to the display device 15 after confirming the operating state of the circuit breaker 14 based on the operating state parameters of the circuit breaker 14. The display device 15 displays differently to facilitate the operator to confirm the operating state of the circuit breaker 14.

[0038] Based on the above content, the implementation process of the circuit breaker monitoring method is as follows:

[0039] S01: Obtain the operating state parameters of the circuit breaker 14 to be measured within a period of time.

[0040] The operating state parameters refer to the parameters used to characterize the operating state of the circuit breaker 14 after the circuit breaker 14 is connected to the terminal power distribution product 2 and starts to work normally. The operating state of the circuit breaker 14 can be normal, aging, and faulty, etc. The operating state parameters can include: the operating current value of the circuit breaker 14, the on-circuit resistance value of the circuit breaker 14, the contact internal resistance of the moving and static contacts of the circuit breaker 14, the disconnection times of the circuit breaker 14, or the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14, etc. In the electronic device 1 for monitoring the state of the circuit breaker 14, after the detection device 13 obtains and calculates at least one set of the same type of data of the above operating state parameters, it sends them to the micro control unit 120. The micro control unit 120 receives the data sent by the detection device 13 and directly executes the next step based on the data content, or further calculates the operating state parameters required for the next step.

[0041] S02: Based on the operating state parameters of the circuit breaker 14 to be measured and the preset state threshold range corresponding to the operating state parameters, confirm the current state of the circuit breaker 14 and output it.

[0042] The status threshold range refers to the range of corresponding parameter thresholds preset by the operator to confirm the working status of the circuit breaker 14. After the micro control unit 120 obtains the working status parameters of the circuit breaker 14 within a period of time, it will automatically confirm the status threshold range to which the working status parameters belong and the status threshold range to which the parameter change values belong, and then confirm the current status information of the circuit breaker 14 and output relevant information.

[0043] The micro control unit 120 can output the current status information to relevant prompting devices such as the display device 15. Based on the differences in the current status information, the display device 15 correspondingly displays indicator lights of different colors or corresponding prompting text contents. In the embodiment of the present application, when the circuit breaker 14 is working in a normal state, the green light is on; when it is confirmed that the status of the circuit breaker 14 is aging, the yellow light is on; when it is confirmed that the circuit breaker 14 has a fault, the red light is on.

[0044] Furthermore, the specific process of implementing the circuit breaker monitoring method can also be as follows in the following embodiments:

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic flowchart of the circuit breaker monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the circuit breaker monitoring method includes:

[0046] S100: Obtain the working status parameters of the circuit breaker 14 to be measured within a period of time. The working status parameters include: the working current value of the circuit breaker 14, the on - circuit resistance value of the circuit breaker 14, the number of disconnections of the circuit breaker 14, and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14.

[0047] The micro control unit 120 can directly obtain the working current value of the circuit breaker 14 through the signal output by the detection device 13 for detecting the working current value. The relevant fluctuation formula of the working current value is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] where i(t) is the current, E is the power supply voltage, R is the on - circuit resistance value, ω is the angular frequency, α is the initial phase angle, L is the line inductive reactance, is the power factor angle, and e is a constant.

[0050] The micro control unit 120 can also directly obtain the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 through the signal output by the thermocouple temperature detection device 132, and calculate the on - circuit resistance value of the circuit breaker 14 based on the obtained working current value of the circuit breaker 14. The relevant formula for obtaining the on - circuit resistance value of the circuit breaker is as follows:

[0051]

[0052] Wherein, i(t) is the working current value of the circuit breaker, R is the resistance value of the energized circuit of the circuit breaker, T is the temperature value of the circuit breaker, is the temperature change rate of the circuit breaker, k is a coefficient related to the contact material, surface condition, and contact form, S is the cross-sectional area, C is the specific heat capacity, m is the mass, T a is the basic ambient temperature value. Among them, the temperature change rate of the circuit breaker is determined by the micro control unit 120 based on the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 detected by the thermocouple temperature detection device 132 and the time elapsed.

[0053] Based on the different disconnection types of the circuit breaker 14, the fault disconnection of the circuit breaker 14 is divided into thermal trip disconnection and magnetic trip disconnection. The number of disconnections of the circuit breaker 14 can be counted and summarized separately by the micro control unit 120 based on the power-off record function for the number of fault disconnections. When the working current value at the power-off moment exceeds the minimum value of the trip current range but is not within the magnetic trip current threshold range, it is recorded as one thermal trip fault disconnection; when the working current value at the power-off moment exceeds the minimum value of the trip current range and there is a value within the magnetic trip current threshold range, it is recorded as one magnetic trip fault disconnection.

[0054] After the micro control unit 120 obtains the working state parameters of the circuit breaker 14 within a period of time, it makes a judgment on the next working state by synthesizing various working state parameter values or working state parameter change values. The other details of this step are similar to those of the above step S01. For specific details, please refer to step S01.

[0055] S110: If both the resistance value of the energized circuit and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 are within the standard value range, determine whether the working current value is less than the minimum value of the trip current threshold of the circuit breaker 14.

[0056] The standard value range refers to the threshold range in which the resistance value of the energized circuit of the circuit breaker 14 and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 are located under the normal working state of the circuit breaker 14. The resistance value of the energized circuit and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 are related to the working current value of the circuit breaker 14. Therefore, when both the resistance value of the energized circuit and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 are within the standard value range, further accurately monitoring the change of the working current value of the circuit breaker 14, the number of disconnections, and the disconnection type can confirm the working state of the circuit breaker 14.

[0057] Among them, the temperature standard value can be referred to: the maximum standard value of the temperature rise of the terminal of the circuit breaker 14 is 60K; the maximum standard value of the temperature rise of the terminal of the integrated leakage circuit breaker is 65K. The standard value of the resistance of the energized circuit can be referred to: the standard values specified for different specifications of the circuit breaker 14 are different. For example, the standard value of the air switch circuit breaker 14 is 10 milliohms.

[0058] S111: If the working current value is less than the minimum value of the tripping current threshold, determine whether the number of disconnections is less than the first number.

[0059] The tripping current threshold includes the thermal tripping current threshold and the magnetic tripping current threshold exceeding the thermal tripping current threshold. If it is detected that the current working current value is less than the minimum value of the tripping current threshold, that is, when the current working current value is less than the minimum value of the thermal tripping current threshold, the micro control unit 120 needs to determine whether the number of disconnections of the circuit breaker 14 is less than the first number to judge whether the working state of the circuit breaker 14 is normal.

[0060] S112: If the number of disconnections is less than or equal to the first number, output the current state of the circuit breaker 14 as the normal working state.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the first number is 3 disconnections within a week. In the case that there has been no thermal tripping fault disconnection or magnetic tripping fault disconnection caused by the working current value exceeding the minimum value of the thermal tripping current threshold in the past, the micro control unit 120 determines that the current state of the circuit breaker 14 is the normal working state.

[0062] In addition, in addition to the Figure 4 steps shown, the circuit breaker monitoring method also includes the following situations and corresponding steps.

[0063] S121: If both the energized circuit resistance value and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 are in the first floating range, determine whether the working current value is within the tripping current threshold range of the circuit breaker 14.

[0064] Among them, the minimum value of the first floating range should be greater than or equal to the maximum value of the standard value range. The first floating range refers to the range where the values of the energized circuit resistance value and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 float upward within a certain time between 20% and 30%. The micro control unit 120 also needs to confirm whether the working current value has a situation of short-time exceeding the minimum value of the thermal tripping current threshold.

[0065] In one embodiment, to confirm the first floating range of the energized circuit resistance value and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14, the minimum value of the first floating range can be preset as the maximum value of the corresponding standard value threshold, and the maximum value of the first floating range is 1.3 times the maximum value of the corresponding standard value threshold range.

[0066] S122: If the working current value is within the tripping current threshold range of the circuit breaker 14, output the current state of the circuit breaker 14 as the abnormal state.

[0067] When the working current value exceeds the minimum value of the tripping current threshold of the circuit breaker 14, it indicates that the circuit breaker 14 has had a tripping fault disconnection state. Based on the different threshold ranges to which the working current value belongs, the abnormal state of the circuit breaker 14 is further divided into an aging state and a fault state.

[0068] S123: If the working current value is within the tripping current threshold range of the circuit breaker 14 and the number of disconnections is greater than the first number, output that the circuit breaker 14 is in an aging state.

[0069] If the working current value briefly exceeds the minimum value of the tripping current threshold of the circuit breaker 14, that is, the working current value briefly exceeds the minimum value of the thermal tripping current threshold but does not enter the magnetic tripping current threshold range, the circuit breaker 14 will correspondingly experience a thermal tripping fault and disconnect, and this disconnection will be recorded as the number of thermal tripping disconnections. If the number of disconnections exceeds 3 times within a week or the total number of times during use exceeds 100 times, and all the disconnections are thermal tripping disconnections, then the microcontroller unit 120 confirms and outputs that the state of the circuit breaker 14 is in an aging state.

[0070] S124: If both the energized circuit resistance value and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 are within the second floating range, the working current value is within the tripping current threshold range, and the number of magnetic tripping times is greater than the second number, output that the circuit breaker 14 is in a faulty state.

[0071] Among them, the minimum value of the second floating range is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the first floating range. In one embodiment, the second floating range means that the values of the energized circuit resistance value and the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14 float upward by more than 30% within a certain period of time, and the frequency of the working current value exceeding the thermal tripping current threshold range increases, and the working current value within the magnetic tripping current threshold starts to appear. At this time, based on the number of disconnections of the circuit breaker 14 and the historical working current value, the number of magnetic tripping fault disconnections is judged to confirm whether the working state of the circuit breaker 14 is faulty.

[0072] The second number refers to the number of magnetic tripping fault disconnections being 3 times within a week or 9 times during the total usage period. If the number of magnetic tripping fault disconnections of the circuit breaker 14 exceeds the second number during use, then confirm and output that the current state of the circuit breaker 14 is in a faulty state.

[0073] In other embodiments of the present application, if during the use of the circuit breaker 14, the frequency of the circuit breaker 14 being faultily disconnected due to the working current value exceeding the short - circuit current exceeds 3 times within a week or exceeds 3 times during the total usage period of the circuit breaker 14, the microcontroller unit 120 also confirms that the circuit breaker 14 is in a faulty state and outputs the status information.

[0074] Among them, in one embodiment, the maximum value of the thermal trip current threshold (trip current threshold) can be referred to as follows: for products compliant with standard GB / T 10963.1, it is 1.45 times the rated current; for products compliant with standard GB / T 14048.2, it is 1.3 times the rated current. The value range of the magnetic trip current threshold can also be referred to as follows: for circuit breaker 14 curve products, it is between 3 times and 5 times the rated current; for circuit breaker 14 curve products, it is between 5 times and 10 times the rated current; for circuit breaker 14 curve products, it is between 10 times and 20 times the rated current. The short-circuit current is generally greater than 20 times the rated current, and the common values of the short-circuit current specified by electrical standards are 500A, 1500A, 3000A, 4500A, 6000A, 10000A, 15000A.

[0075] In the above embodiment, by obtaining the numerical values of multiple types of operating state parameters of the circuit breaker 14, the operating state of the circuit breaker 14 is comprehensively judged, and the state information of the circuit breaker 14 is output. When the circuit breaker 14 is operating normally, the display device 15 lights up green; when it is confirmed that the circuit breaker 14 is aging, it lights up yellow correspondingly; when it is confirmed that the circuit breaker 14 has a fault, it lights up red correspondingly.

[0076] In other embodiments of the present application, the operating state of the circuit breaker 14 can also be confirmed based on the change of a single type of operating state parameter. The operating state parameter can be the operating current value of the circuit breaker 14, the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14, the temperature change rate of the circuit breaker, the number of disconnections and disconnection types of the circuit breaker 14, and the on - circuit resistance value of the circuit breaker 14, etc. For example, when obtaining at least one operating state parameter of the circuit breaker 14, the operating state of the circuit breaker 14 is preferably judged based on the operating current value of the circuit breaker 14.

[0077] In another embodiment of the present application, it is also possible to judge whether the circuit breaker 14 is aging by calculating the resistance value of the contact internal resistance between the moving and static contacts of the circuit breaker 14. In the above embodiment, the micro - control unit 120 calculates the on - circuit resistance value of the circuit breaker 14 by obtaining the operating current value, the temperature value of the circuit breaker 14, etc. On this basis, the micro - control unit 120 can also obtain the resistance value of the contact internal resistance between the moving and static contacts of the circuit breaker 14 based on the resistance values of each thermal - link part in the circuit breaker 14. The specific formula is as follows:

[0078] R = R 触头接触内阻 +∑R 热链零件

[0079] Among them, the correlation formula between the resistance value of the contact internal resistance between the moving and static contacts and the contact pressure between the moving and static contacts is as follows:

[0080] R 触头接触内阻 = K c ÷(0.102F) m

[0081] Among them, F is the contact pressure between the moving and static contacts; R 触头接触内阻 is the resistance value of the internal contact resistance between the moving and static contacts; m is the contact form coefficient; K c is the correlation coefficient related to the contact material and surface condition.

[0082] Based on the resistance value of the internal contact resistance between the moving and static contacts of the circuit breaker 14, the contact pressure between the moving and static contacts in the closed state can be confirmed, and further whether the contact pressure between the moving and static contacts is small due to the aging of the circuit breaker 14 can be confirmed, and the working state information of the circuit breaker 14 is output and displayed in the corresponding state through the display device 15.

This application corresponds to judge the current working state of the circuit breaker 14 by real-time monitoring and calculating the working state parameters related to the circuit breaker 14, and outputs the corresponding state information to prompt the operator to pay attention. After the micro control unit 120 outputs the state information, the circuit breaker 14 indicates it to the user through the indicator light, so that the user can perform timely maintenance or replacement on the terminal power distribution product 2 and the circuit breaker 14. Therefore, this application has the advantages of timely circuit breaker 14 state monitoring, high reliability and application safety.
