Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of power system metering and detection devices, and in particular relates to an electric energy meter stand and a metering and detection device. Background Art

[0002] An electric energy meter, also known as a watt-hour meter, fire meter, or kilowatt-hour meter, is an instrument used to measure electrical energy. Traditional electric energy meters lack arc detection capabilities and cannot effectively detect arcing within the metering channel. Arcing can cause faults in the daily operation of power systems or power equipment, and in severe cases, can even cause fires. To improve circuit safety, electric energy meters and arc detection devices are used separately to perform arc detection and energy measurement. However, separate arc detection devices and electric energy meters create multiple access points in the circuit, increasing the probability of introducing access fault points.

[0003] In a Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN 217212883 U and authorization announcement date of August 16, 2022, an electric energy meter and an electric energy meter system are disclosed. The electric energy meter includes a fault arc detection circuit, a control circuit and an alarm circuit. The input end of the fault arc detection circuit is connected to the live wire of the circuit measured by the electric energy meter. The fault arc detection circuit is used to sample the current of the live wire and detect whether a fault arc occurs in the circuit. The electric energy meter has an arc detection function. Like the traditional ones, this electric energy meter can only measure the electric energy of one metering channel. If you want to complete the electric energy detection of multiple metering channels, you can only increase the number of metering channels by increasing the number of electric energy meters. Increasing the number of electric energy meters also requires expanding the volume of the supporting distribution cabinet, which will put higher requirements on the power line distribution technology in the distribution cabinet, resulting in an increase in the cost of the entire distribution cabinet.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the structure of the electric energy meter base provided in this embodiment includes a base 1, in which a collection module 3 is provided. The collection module 3 includes an arc detection component and an electric energy metering control component. The electric energy metering control component includes a first relay component 34 and a second relay component 35. The first relay component 34 and the second relay component 35 are respectively provided with a first input terminal and a second input terminal. The first input terminal and the second input terminal are both provided with sampling resistors, namely a first relay component sampling resistor 344 and a second relay component sampling resistor 354. A reference sampling point 343 is provided on the first relay component sampling resistor 344.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the arc detection assembly is provided with a terminal. In this embodiment, the terminal is a copper plate 33. The incoming end of the copper plate 33 is connected to the live input copper plate 31, which is then connected to the live input of the energy meter. The arc detection assembly includes a high-frequency sampling transformer 322 and a low-frequency sampling transformer 321. The high-frequency sampling transformer 322 and the low-frequency sampling transformer 321 are mounted on the copper plate 33 and are individually connected to the copper plate 33. The copper plate 33 first connects to the high-frequency sampling transformer 322, then to the low-frequency sampling transformer 321, and then splits into two paths, connecting the first input terminal and the second input terminal respectively. In this embodiment, two sampling resistors are provided at the first and second input terminals. All sampling resistors are manganese copper resistors and are correspondingly welded to the first and second input terminals. The copper plate 33 connects the first and second input terminals via soft copper wire.

[0040] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the first relay assembly 34 and the second relay assembly 35 are respectively provided with a first output terminal and a second output terminal. In this embodiment, the first output terminal and the second output terminal are respectively a first output copper plate 342 and a second output copper plate 352. The first output copper plate 342 and the second output copper plate 352 are respectively connected to the first output live copper plate 361 and the second output live copper plate 362 via corresponding soft copper wires. The first output live copper plate 361 and the second output live copper plate 362 are respectively output to the first metering channel and the second metering channel of the bottom case. The first relay assembly 34 and the second relay assembly 35 are also respectively provided with a control port connected to the mainboard 2. The first relay assembly 34 and the second relay assembly 35 are welded to the mainboard 2. High-voltage ports are provided on the input live copper plate 31, the first output live copper plate 361, and the second output live copper plate 362. The first relay assembly 34 and the second relay assembly 35 are on the same plane. The long side direction of the first relay assembly 34 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the high-frequency sampling transformer 322 and the low-frequency sampling transformer 321. The long side direction of the second relay assembly 35 is arranged along the arrangement direction of the high-frequency sampling transformer 322 and the low-frequency sampling transformer 321. The arc detection assembly is located in the space enclosed by the first relay assembly 34 and the second relay assembly 35.

[0041] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4As shown, the acquisition module 3, the mainboard 2, and the high-voltage port 4 are installed in the installation cavity formed by the bottom shell 1 and the top shell 5. The length of the top shell side plate 51 on one side of the top shell 5 is greater than the length on the other side. The bottom shell bottom plate 11 has an upwardly extending extension 111 at the corresponding position of the longer side of the top shell side plate 51. The extension 111 and the longer top shell side plate 51 are both provided with a high-voltage port cover 15. The two high-voltage port covers 15 are provided with three wire holes 151. The wire hole 151 in the middle position is formed by splicing the arc grooves at the matching positions of the two high-voltage port covers 15. A connecting plate 53 is connected between the top shell top plate 52 and the high-voltage port cover 15 on the top shell 5. The top shell top plate 52 is provided with a neutral wire connection hole 521 for entering and exiting the neutral wire inside the meter holder. A first clip 13 is provided on the bottom plate 11 of the bottom shell, and a neutral line groove 12 is formed between the first clip 13 and the extension portion 111. Correspondingly, a second clip is also provided on the top shell 4, which is directly opposite the position of the first clip 13, and another neutral line groove 12 is formed between the second clip and the connecting plate. When multiple electricity meters need to be installed in a distribution cabinet, the neutral wire used to connect the electricity meters first passes through the neutral line groove 12 to reach the neutral line connection hole 521, and then enters the installation cavity from the neutral line connection hole 521. When the wire is discharged, it leaves the installation cavity from the neutral line connection hole, and then exits from the neutral line groove 12 on the other side to connect to the next electricity meter, thereby ensuring that multiple electricity meters can be installed in one electrical cabinet. The arc detection component in the meter holder gives the electricity meter an arc detection function, improving system safety and detecting whether the circuit wiring is in good condition and whether an arc is generated. The equipment has two-way electricity metering control components, reducing the circuit system circuit crimping points, effectively avoiding fault points, and using one metering device to measure two circuit metering channels, effectively reducing the size of the distribution cabinet and reducing costs.
