BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0040] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the following will briefly introduce the drawings needed to be used in the embodiment description. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are some embodiments of the present application, and other drawings can also be obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort on the basis of these drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 The flow chart of the frequency converter system fault detection method in the embodiments of the present application;

[0042] Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of the frequency converter system fault detection device in the embodiments of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The embodiment of the present application provides a variable frequency converter system fault detection method and device, and solves the technical problem of how to detect the variable frequency converter system fault.

[0044] In order to better understand the technical scheme of the present application, the technical scheme of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings of the specification and specific embodiments.

[0045] As shown in the figure, the variable frequency converter system fault detection method of the embodiment comprises: Figure 1

[0046] Step S1, obtaining an insulation monitoring resistance value of the variable frequency converter system;

[0047] Step S2, if the insulation monitoring resistance value is lower than a preset resistance threshold value, obtaining a three-phase current vector sum of the variable frequency converter in the variable frequency converter system and an actual running current of the motor;

[0048] Step S3, judging whether the variable frequency converter system has a motor single-phase or two-phase grounding fault according to the three-phase current vector sum;

[0049] Step S4, judging whether the variable frequency converter system has a motor three-phase grounding fault according to the actual running current.

[0050] In the embodiment, the variable frequency converter is used to control the motor to work. It is found in production that the skin of a certain phase of the motor is broken and soaked, which will cause the phase to be grounded, and then cause the insulation value of the phase to be reduced, and then cause the insulation monitoring resistance value of the variable frequency converter system to be reduced, which is usually lower than 40kΩ. If the preset resistance threshold value is set to 40kΩ. Then in step S2, if the insulation monitoring resistance value of the variable frequency converter system is lower than the preset resistance threshold value, it indicates that a motor grounding fault has occurred, and the motor grounding fault includes two cases of a motor single-phase or two-phase grounding fault and a motor three-phase grounding fault, and it is necessary to further judge which grounding fault.

[0051] It is also found in production that under normal circumstances or when the motor is three-phase grounded, the three-phase current vector sum of the variable frequency converter is basically equal to zero, and when the motor is single-phase or two-phase grounded, the three-phase current vector sum of the variable frequency converter will significantly increase, which is manifested as: before the variable frequency converter is enabled, the three-phase current vector sum is usually greater than 6%; after the variable frequency converter is enabled, the three-phase current vector sum is usually greater than 16%, so that whether the variable frequency converter system has a motor single-phase or two-phase grounding fault can be judged according to the three-phase current vector sum. Therefore, step S3 can comprise: if the three-phase current vector sum is greater than a first preset threshold value, it is judged that the variable frequency converter system has a motor single-phase or two-phase grounding fault; wherein before the variable frequency converter is enabled, the first preset threshold value can be 6%; after the variable frequency converter is enabled, the first preset threshold value can be 16%.

[0052] ​As mentioned above, when the motor is three-phase grounded, the sum of the three-phase current vectors of the frequency converter is also substantially equal to zero. Therefore, if the sum of the three-phase current vectors is less than the first preset threshold value, it only indicates that the motor single-phase or two-phase grounding fault does not occur in the frequency converter system, and it cannot be confirmed whether the motor three-phase grounding fault occurs, that is, the sum of the three-phase current vectors cannot be used to determine whether the motor three-phase grounding fault occurs at this time. In the production, it is also found that under normal circumstances, the actual running current of the motor is certain when the load and working condition of the motor are good, and when the motor is three-phase grounded, more current is needed to maintain the balance of the electromagnetic force of the motor because part of the current leaks to the ground, so that the actual running current of the motor will significantly increase when the motor is three-phase grounded, and thus the actual running current of the motor can be used to determine whether the motor three-phase grounding fault occurs in the frequency converter system. For the motor, the actual running current of the motor corresponds to the speed of the motor, and thus step S4 can include: obtaining the current speed of the motor; determining the target running current corresponding to the current speed according to the preset corresponding relationship between the speed of the motor and the running current; determining the current threshold value according to the target running current, and the current threshold value is greater than the target running current; if the actual running current is greater than the current threshold value, it is determined that the motor three-phase grounding fault occurs in the frequency converter system. The target running current is the normal running current that the motor should have under normal circumstances at the current speed of the motor, and the current threshold value can be N times of the target running current, N is a natural number greater than 1, and the actual running current of the motor is greater than the current threshold value, which indicates that the motor three-phase grounding fault occurs. The process of determining the preset corresponding relationship between the speed of the motor and the running current can be: 10 motor speeds between 0-100% and the motor running current corresponding to each motor speed under normal working conditions can be obtained, and 10 pairs of (motor speed, running current) coordinates are fitted to obtain the relationship between the speed of the motor and the running current.

[0053] Of course, the embodiment can also not determine whether the grounding fault occurs according to the insulation monitoring resistance value, but directly determine whether the single-phase or two-phase grounding fault occurs according to the sum of the three-phase current vectors of the frequency converter, and directly determine whether the three-phase grounding fault occurs according to the actual running current of the motor, but meaningless judgment will be performed when no grounding fault occurs, and the specific grounding fault is determined after the insulation monitoring resistance value is lower than the preset resistance threshold value, which can avoid meaningless acquisition of the sum of the three-phase current vectors and the actual running current and meaningless fault judgment.

[0054] In the embodiment, the failure of the frequency converter system also includes damage of an internal element of the frequency converter. When the motor is a book motor, the internal element is a linear optocoupler element for measuring three-phase output current of the motor. In practice, it is found that after the internal element is damaged, at least one phase of the offset current of the frequency converter will significantly increase, usually by more than 100%. Therefore, the frequency converter system failure detection method of the embodiment can further include: obtaining three-phase offset currents of the frequency converter, and if at least one phase of the offset current is greater than a second preset threshold, determining that an internal element of the frequency converter is damaged; wherein the second preset threshold can be 100%.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 the embodiment also provides a frequency converter system failure detection device, which can include:

[0056] a resistance obtaining module configured to obtain an insulation monitoring resistance value of the frequency converter system;

[0057] a current obtaining module configured to obtain a three-phase current vector sum of the frequency converter and an actual operating current of the motor if the insulation monitoring resistance value is lower than a preset resistance threshold;

[0058] a first failure judgment module configured to determine whether the frequency converter system has a single-phase or two-phase ground fault of the motor according to the three-phase current vector sum;

[0059] a second failure judgment module configured to determine whether the frequency converter system has a three-phase ground fault according to the actual operating current.

[0060] The first failure judgment module configured to determine whether the frequency converter system has a single-phase or two-phase ground fault of the motor according to the three-phase current vector sum can include: if the three-phase current vector sum is greater than a first preset threshold, determining that the frequency converter system has a single-phase or two-phase ground fault of the motor.

[0061] The second failure judgment module configured to determine whether the frequency converter system has a three-phase ground fault according to the actual operating current can include: obtaining a current speed of the motor; determining a target operating current corresponding to the current speed according to a preset corresponding relationship between the motor speed and the operating current; determining a current threshold according to the target operating current, the current threshold being greater than the target operating current; and if the actual operating current is greater than the current threshold, determining that the frequency converter system has a three-phase ground fault.

[0062] Further, the frequency converter system failure detection device can further include a third failure judgment module configured to obtain three-phase offset currents of the frequency converter, and if at least one phase of the offset current is greater than a second preset threshold, determining that an internal element of the frequency converter is damaged.
