Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of online vacuum degree detection technology for vacuum interrupters, and specifically relates to a vacuum degree detection device, monitoring system, and vacuum interrupter. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum circuit breakers use vacuum as the arc-extinguishing and insulating medium, offering advantages such as short arc time, low arc energy, minimal contact wear, a high permissible number of breaking cycles, suitability for frequent operation, and long service life. Vacuum circuit breakers are continuously evolving towards miniaturization and higher voltage levels, and their applications in the power sector are becoming increasingly widespread. The high vacuum environment within the arc-extinguishing chamber of a vacuum circuit breaker is a prerequisite for ensuring its excellent performance. Therefore, real-time monitoring of the vacuum level within the arc-extinguishing chamber during operation has become a crucial research area in the field of vacuum circuit breakers.
[0003] The vacuum interrupter manufacturing process employs a single-stage sealing and exhaust process, where the vacuum interrupter is first brazed into several components, and then the exhaust, baking, and brazing sealing processes are completed in a vacuum furnace. During this process, the baking temperature of the vacuum interrupter can reach as high as 800-900℃. Traditional vacuum degree detection methods suffer from limitations in the high-temperature resistance of the detection devices, making it impossible to implant them during the vacuum interrupter's manufacturing process. Furthermore, the lifespan of the detection device is difficult to guarantee in high-temperature environments. Offline detection devices require the vacuum interrupter to be taken out of service before vacuum degree testing can be performed, making real-time monitoring of issues such as slow leaks impossible.

[0053] To better understand, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the vacuum degree detection device for the vacuum interrupter includes,
[0054] A ceramic insulating shell 11 is sealed and fixed to the end face cover plate of the vacuum interrupter. The ceramic insulating shell 11 is a circular ring structure coaxial with the conductive rod on the end face cover plate. The sealing area formed by the end face cover plate and the ceramic insulating shell 11 has a through hole communicating with the vacuum interrupter.
[0055] A thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 is disposed inside the ceramic insulating housing 11 to detect the vacuum level of the vacuum interrupter. The thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 includes...
[0056] The cold end 131 is fixed to the end face cover plate and transfers heat to the conductive rod through the end face cover plate to keep the temperature of the cold end of the sensor relatively stable.
[0057] Electrode 132, which is supported on the cold end 131;
[0058] Thermoelectric arm 133, which is supported on the electrode 132;
[0059] Hot end 134, which is stacked on the thermoelectric arm 133;
[0060] Thermal resistance block 135 is stacked on the hot end 134;
[0061] Heating device 136 is stacked on the thermal resistance block 135.
[0062] In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum degree detection device for the vacuum interrupter, a conductive sheet is further included, which is electrically connected to the thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13.
[0063] A wire 12 passes through and is welded to the ceramic insulating shell 11, and the wire 12 is electrically connected to the conductive sheet.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum degree detection device for the vacuum interrupter, the conductor 12 is a cylindrical conductor 12 disposed on the upper surface of the ceramic insulating shell.
[0065] In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum degree detection device for the vacuum interrupter, the thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 is a ring-shaped structure disposed inside the ceramic insulating shell 11, and is coaxial with the conductive rod on the end cover plate.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum degree detection device for the vacuum interrupter, the ceramic insulating shell 11 is sealed and fixed to the outer side of the end face cover plate away from the vacuum interrupter, and the through hole is provided on the end face cover plate.
[0067] In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum degree detection device for the vacuum interrupter, the ceramic insulating shell 11 is sealed and fixed to the inner side of the end cover plate near the vacuum interrupter, and the through hole is provided on the ceramic insulating shell 11.
[0068] In a preferred embodiment of the vacuum degree detection device for the vacuum interrupter, the end cover plate is either the static cover plate 2 or the dynamic cover plate 5 of the vacuum interrupter.
[0069] In one embodiment, since the thermoelectric generator in the thermoelectric vacuum sensor includes multiple pairs of thermoelectric arms, its overall thermal resistance is composed of the parallel thermal resistance of the thermoelectric arms and the thermal resistance of the air filling the gaps. When the vacuum level at the location of the thermoelectric generator changes, the thermal resistance of the air filling the gaps changes, thereby causing a change in the thermal resistance of the thermoelectric generator. This change in the overall thermal resistance of the thermoelectric generator alters the temperature distribution of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor, causing a change in the temperature of the hot end of the thermoelectric generator, and consequently, a change in the output voltage of the thermoelectric generator. When the temperature at both ends of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor is constant, the change in vacuum level is the only factor causing a change in the overall thermal resistance of the thermoelectric generator, which in turn causes a change in the output voltage of the thermoelectric generator to generate detection data reflecting the vacuum level, thereby achieving vacuum level identification. Based on this principle, a thermoelectric vacuum sensor can achieve continuous measurement of vacuum levels in the range of 1e5Pa to 1e-2Pa when the thermal resistance block meets the thermal resistance matching principle (i.e., the thermal resistance of the thermal resistance block is the same as that of the thermoelectric generator) and the thermoelectric generator meets the design principle (i.e., the number of thermoelectric arms is as large as possible to ensure that the output voltage of the thermoelectric generator is greater than 500mV under a temperature difference of 200 degrees Celsius); the duty cycle is as low as possible, not exceeding 10%; the Seebeck coefficient of the thermoelectric material is as large as possible, reaching 200μV / K; and the thermal resistance of the thermoelectric arm is as large as possible, with the thermal resistance of a single thermoelectric arm needing to reach at least 400K / W). This enables the measurement of vacuum levels in a vacuum interrupter.
[0070] In one embodiment, a vacuum detection device is installed at the end cover plate of the vacuum interrupter, including a thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13, a ceramic insulator, and a cylindrical wire 12 that passes through and is welded to the ceramic insulator. The thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 is made in a ring shape and installed coaxially with the conductive rod, and is connected to the wire 12 on the ceramic insulator via a conductive sheet. The ceramic insulator is welded to the end cover plate of the vacuum interrupter to achieve a sealed vacuum environment.
[0071] The thermoelectric vacuum detection device uses a thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 to detect the vacuum level of the vacuum interrupter. The thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 comprises a cold junction 131, a hot junction 134, an electrode 132, a thermoelectric arm 133, a thermal resistance block 135, a temperature measuring device, and a heating device 136. All components of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 are made of high-temperature resistant materials, capable of withstanding the high temperatures during assembly, baking, and brazing in the vacuum interrupter manufacturing process. Due to the temperature resistance of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor, it can be assembled with other components of the vacuum interrupter and then subjected to degassing, baking, and brazing sealing in a vacuum furnace. The temperature during this process often reaches 900 degrees Celsius, significantly limiting the factory integration of other vacuum sensors. As a component of the vacuum interrupter, the thermoelectric vacuum sensor does not require changes to the existing process flow and can be factory-installed, facilitating the widespread use of the vacuum interrupter vacuum detection device.
[0072] The ceramic insulating body of the thermoelectric vacuum detection device is used as a ring-shaped insulating shell. The ceramic insulating shell 11 is welded to the end cover plate of the vacuum interrupter, and the thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 is installed inside the ceramic insulating shell 11. A small hole is opened at the bottom end cover plate of the ceramic insulating shell 11 to communicate with the vacuum interrupter, which on the one hand ensures that the vacuum level of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 and the vacuum interrupter are the same; on the other hand, it minimizes the damage to the original vacuum interrupter structure.
[0073] The cold junction 131 of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 is welded to the end face cover plate of the vacuum interrupter. The end face cover plate of the vacuum interrupter is mostly made of metal and has good thermal conductivity. By welding the cold junction of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor to the end face cover plate, the cold junction 131 can be directly dissipated through the end face cover plate, or a heat dissipation device can be installed on the end face cover plate to dissipate heat from the cold junction 131, thereby maintaining a relatively stable cold junction temperature.
[0074] The vacuum detection signal of the thermoelectric vacuum detection device can be led out through the wire 12 on the ceramic insulator or sent to an external monitoring system through the built-in wireless transmitter.
[0075] The thermoelectric vacuum detection device can be powered by a battery, mains power, or electromagnetic induction.
[0076] In a second implementation scheme, the vacuum detection device can also be structured as follows: the vacuum detection device is installed inside the end face cover of the vacuum interrupter, i.e., located inside the vacuum interrupter. The cold end 131 of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 is in close contact with the end face cover of the vacuum interrupter. Heat dissipation of the cold end 131 is achieved directly through the end face cover, or by adding a heat dissipation device to the end face cover, thus maintaining a relatively stable cold end temperature. A slot is provided at the end face cover for leading out the wire 12, and the slot is sealed with a ceramic insulator. The wire 12 passes through and is welded to the ceramic insulator, achieving insulation between the wire 12 and the end face cover.
[0077] A vacuum interrupter monitoring system includes,
[0078] The vacuum degree detection device 1 of the vacuum interrupter chamber;
[0079] A temperature sensor is disposed between the thermal resistance block 135 and the heating device 136 to generate temperature data;
[0080] The sensor receiving module receives the detection signal and temperature data from the vacuum degree detection device.
[0081] The data processing module is connected to the sensor receiving module to generate vacuum data based on the detection signal and adjust the heating temperature of the heating device 136 based on the temperature data.
[0082] A data storage module, connected to the data processing module, is used to receive and store the vacuum level data.
[0083] The data monitoring module is connected to the data processing module. When the vacuum level data exceeds a predetermined threshold, the data monitoring module will issue an alarm.
[0084] In one embodiment, the monitoring system includes a sensor receiving module, a data processing module, a data storage module, and a data monitoring module. The sensor receiving module receives the detection signal transmitted by the vacuum degree detection device and sends it to the data processing module. The data processing module processes and analyzes the received detection signal to obtain the corresponding vacuum degree. The data processing module transmits the vacuum degree data to the data storage module and the data monitoring module. The data monitoring module controls the display of the vacuum degree and issues an alarm for a decrease in vacuum degree. The data storage module is used to save historical data. The data processing module also processes the temperature signal transmitted from the temperature measuring device and controls the heating device 136 to heat the hot end 134 of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor.
[0085] Reference Figures 2 to 3The ceramic insulating shell 11 is brazed onto the end cover plate 2 of the vacuum interrupter. A small hole communicating with the vacuum interrupter is opened at the end cover plate inside the ceramic insulating shell, ensuring that the vacuum level inside the ceramic insulating shell is consistent with that inside the vacuum interrupter. A circular thermoelectric vacuum sensor is located inside the ceramic insulating shell. A wire is welded through the insulating shell, allowing detection signals and temperature data to be transmitted to an external monitoring system. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a thermoelectric vacuum sensor. The thermoelectric vacuum sensor comprises a cold junction 131, an electrode 132, a thermoelectric arm 133, a hot junction 134, a thermal resistance block 135, and a heating device 136, all fabricated in a ring shape and installed inside a ceramic insulating shell 11, as shown in the diagram. A temperature measuring device can be used, either as a temperature probe or installed between the thermal resistance block and the heating device, to measure the heating temperature. The cold junction of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor is welded to the stationary end cover plate 2 of the vacuum interrupter, and heat is dissipated from the cold junction through the end cover plate. The thermoelectric vacuum sensor transmits signals and provides energy through wires on the ceramic insulating shell. All parts of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor are made of high-temperature resistant materials, capable of withstanding the high temperatures during assembly, baking, and brazing during the manufacturing process of the vacuum interrupter. This allows for factory implantation.
[0086] Reference Figures 5 to 6 The vacuum detection device can also be structured as follows: a thermoelectric vacuum sensor 13 is made into a ring and installed inside the stationary cover plate 2 or the moving cover plate 5 of the vacuum interrupter, i.e., located inside the vacuum interrupter. A ceramic insert 11 is used to seal the vacuum interrupter at the end cover plate. The ceramic insert has evenly spaced circular holes for leading out wires 12, which pass through the holes and are sealed with a ceramic pin. The thermoelectric vacuum sensor is directly installed inside the interrupter, eliminating the need for a ceramic insulating shell for sealing. The cold end of the thermoelectric vacuum sensor in the vacuum detection device is in close contact with the end cover plate of the vacuum interrupter for heat dissipation. The detection signal can be led out through the electrode on the ceramic insert or transmitted wirelessly to an external monitoring system.
[0087] In one embodiment of the vacuum interrupter monitoring system, the data monitoring module includes a buzzer or an LED light.
[0088] A vacuum interrupter includes,
[0089] The ceramic outer shell 4 has a hollow cylindrical structure;
[0090] The static cover plate 2 is sealed and brazed to one end of the ceramic shell 4;

[0092] The movable cover plate 5 is sealed and brazed to the other end of the ceramic shell 4;
[0093] The movable conductive rod 6 passes through the center of the movable cover plate 5;
[0094] The vacuum degree detection device of the vacuum interrupter is located on the upper or lower surface of the moving or stationary cover plate and is arranged coaxially with the conductive rod.
[0095] The shield 7 is located inside the ceramic shell 4.
[0096] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vacuum interrupter includes a vacuum detection device 1, a stationary cover plate 2, a stationary conductive rod 3, a ceramic shell 4, a movable cover plate 5, a movable conductive rod 6, and a shielding cover 7. The stationary cover plate 2 and the movable cover plate 5 are brazed onto the ceramic shell 4. The vacuum detection device 1 is installed on either the stationary cover plate 2 or the movable cover plate 5.
[0097] The thermoelectric vacuum sensor of this invention is connected to the vacuum interrupter, ensuring that the measured vacuum level reflects the vacuum level inside the interrupter. The vacuum detection signal can be led out through a wire on a ceramic insulator or transmitted wirelessly to an external monitoring system. The external monitoring system analyzes and processes the signal to obtain the vacuum level inside the interrupter, enabling real-time monitoring of the vacuum level. The encapsulation process of the vacuum interrupter requires degassing, baking, and sealing of the components in a vacuum furnace at 800-900℃. This invention uses a high-temperature resistant thermoelectric vacuum sensor for vacuum level detection, allowing for implantation at the factory. It can be used in the field of online monitoring of vacuum interrupter vacuum levels.
