Specific implementation mode

[0045] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for detecting the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker, which is used to solve the technical problem of how to improve the accuracy of detecting the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber during the opening process of the circuit breaker.

[0046] In order to make the invention purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] The present invention provides a method for detecting the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which shows a flowchart of a method for detecting the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] A method for detecting the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes steps S1 - S4.

[0050] Step S1: Connect the circuit breaker to be tested with the moving and static contact spacing adjustment device 1 so that the spacing between the moving contact and the static contact of the circuit breaker to be tested can be adjusted.

[0051] By connecting the circuit breaker to be tested with the moving and static contact spacing adjustment device 1, the transmission mode of the conventional circuit breaker can be changed to the electrode distance adjustment mode, so that the spacing between the moving contact and the static contact of the circuit breaker to be tested can be adjusted.

[0052] It should be noted that an existing moving and static contact spacing adjustment device can be used as the moving and static contact spacing adjustment device 1 to make the spacing between the moving contact and the static contact of the circuit breaker to be tested adjustable.

[0053] Step S2, a high-speed camera 2 and a light source device 3 are arranged in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker to be tested. The high-speed camera 2 is aligned with the moving area of the moving contact and the static contact in the arc extinguishing chamber, and the high-speed camera 2 is connected to the servo controller 4 and the schlieren imaging device 5.

[0054] Wherein, the moving area includes the moving contact and the static contact in the arc extinguishing chamber, and the area between the moving contact and the static contact, so that the obtained schlieren image can clearly present the change of the air flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0055] During the opening process in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker, the air flow field is in an instantaneous change state. To better record the change of the air flow field during the opening process of the circuit breaker, it is necessary to cooperate with a high-sensitivity high-speed camera for recording and shooting. As a specific implementation method, in this test, the high-speed camera adopts the Phantom v711 model. This model of high-speed camera uses a unique CMOS sensor with ultra-high sensitivity. The shooting rate at 1 million pixels can reach 7,500 frames per second, and the highest shooting rate can reach 1,400,000 frames per second. The specific relevant parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1:

[0057] Highest resolution 1280×800 Highest shooting rate 1,400,000 frames per second Number of pixels 1024000 Continuously adjustable resolution 128×8 Pixel size 20um Digital output 8 / 12 bits Sensitivity 20,000 black and white / 2,500 color Minimum exposure time 1us (300ns)

[0058] Step S3, the distance between the moving contact and the static contact in the arc extinguishing chamber is adjusted by the moving and static contact distance adjusting device 1, and the high-speed camera 2 is triggered by the servo controller 4 to shoot at a preset frequency, so that the schlieren imaging device 5 obtains schlieren images at different contact opening distances.

[0059] In a realizable manner, when adjusting the distance between the moving contact and the static contact in the arc extinguishing chamber by the moving and static contact distance adjusting device 1, the following is specifically executed:

[0060] Gradually increase the distance between the moving contact and the static contact in the arc extinguishing chamber within the preset distance range.

[0061] As a realizable manner, the preset distance range is set to 1 - 1.5 cm.

[0062] During specific implementation, for example, the distance between the moving contact and the static contact in the arc extinguishing chamber can be adjusted to 1.1 cm, 1.2 cm, and 1.4 cm in sequence, so that the schlieren imaging device 5 obtains three groups of schlieren images with contact opening distances of 1.1 cm, 1.2 cm, and 1.4 cm.

[0063] In the above embodiments of the present invention, by adjusting the opening distance between the moving and static contacts in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker, and using a schlieren imaging device combined with a high-speed camera to observe the change of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber during the opening of the contacts, combined with the actual situation of the on-site test equipment, the development process of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber under multiple contact opening distances is photographed and recorded. The method is simple and convenient, and the schlieren images taken can truly reflect the development process of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0064] Step S4: Analyze the obtained schlieren images to obtain the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker to be tested.

[0065] In an implementable manner, the analyzing the obtained schlieren images to obtain the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker to be tested includes:

[0066] Mark time stamps for the obtained schlieren images;

[0067] Analyze the schlieren images under the same contact opening distance to obtain the development trajectory data of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber, and associate the gas flow field development trajectory data with the corresponding time stamps to obtain the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber changing with time under the corresponding contact opening distance.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present invention, by analyzing and processing each schlieren image, the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber changing with time under different contact opening distances are obtained, realizing the detection of the development characteristics of the gas flow field inside the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker under different contact opening distances.

[0069] In an implementable manner, the analyzing the obtained schlieren images to obtain the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker to be tested further includes:

[0070] Analyze the schlieren images under the same contact opening distance to determine the starting state and / or ending state of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber, and mark the corresponding schlieren images with the state.

[0071] In this embodiment, by marking the starting state and / or ending state of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber, it is beneficial to improve the detection efficiency.

[0072] In an implementable manner, the method further includes:

[0073] Set a temperature sensor 7 in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker to be tested to detect the temperature in the arc extinguishing chamber;

[0074] The analyzing the obtained schlieren images to obtain the development characteristics of the gas flow field in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker to be tested includes:

[0075] Mark time stamps for the obtained schlieren images and the temperature data of the temperature sensor 7 respectively;

[0076] Match corresponding temperature data to each of the schlieren images according to the marked timestamps.

[0077] Analyze each of the schlieren images at the same contact opening distance to obtain the airflow field development trajectory data in the arc extinguishing chamber, and associate the airflow field development trajectory data with the corresponding temperature data to obtain the airflow field development characteristics in the arc extinguishing chamber that vary with temperature at the corresponding contact opening distance.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present invention, by setting a temperature sensor, the detection of the airflow field development characteristics in the arc extinguishing chamber that vary with temperature at different contact opening distances is realized. The method is simple and convenient and easy to implement.

[0079] The present invention also provides a detection system for the airflow field development characteristics in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker. The detection system is used to execute the method for detecting the airflow field development characteristics in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which shows a structural block diagram of a detection system for the airflow field development characteristics in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0081] A detection system for the airflow field development characteristics in the arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a moving and static contact spacing adjusting device 1, a high-speed camera 2, a light source device 3, a servo controller 4, a schlieren imaging device 5, and a data processing device 6.

The adjusting handle 12 is used to rotate the lead screw 11, and then the rotation of the lead screw 11 is converted into a linear motion through the thrust ball bearing 14, so as to drive the insulating pull rod 15 to perform opening and closing actions. The transmission ratio between the lead screw 11 and the internal moving contact is 1:1. This transmission mode is simple and reliable and convenient for measurement, and the adjustment accuracy can reach 0.5 mm.

The insulating pull rod 15 adopts a threaded connection, which can ensure a high transmission accuracy, so that the contact opening distance of the circuit breaker to be measured can be indirectly obtained directly through the movement amount of the external lead screw 11.
