Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electric power, in particular to a temperature indicating color-changing material for electric power system and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a pillar industry of national economy, the electric power industry plays an important role in the production activities of all walks of life. In the electric power transmission and distribution system, the electric power line has the characteristics of wide laying range, long distance and exposure to the outdoor environment, and the electric power equipment has the characteristics of multiple types, large quantity and wide range of use. The transmission line and the electric power equipment often generate a large amount of heat due to faults, thereby causing the temperature of the equipment to rise. For example, after a lightning strike accident, which accounts for 35% of the accidents of the transmission and distribution line, the arc light converts electric energy into heat energy, causing the temperature of the channel to rise. The electrical equipment is operated 24 hours a day, and various abnormal heating phenomena are also very common. If the heat barrier point is not promptly investigated, it may cause accidents and cause incalculable losses. Early detection of fault points can save a lot of property and even lives. The currently used infrared diagnostic technology is the most accurate overheat fault detection method, but it also has many defects such as expensive equipment, strict environmental adaptation requirements, and requirements for the quality of the users.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple, fast, convenient and relatively accurate overheat fault investigation scheme to overcome the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a temperature indicating color-changing material for electric power system, characterized in that:

[0005] The temperature indicating color-changing material uses CoCl2•6H2O and MgSO4•7H2O as raw materials.

[0015] Preferably,

[0016] When the temperature-indicating color-changing material is a paint, the paint base material is polyvinyl alcohol, and the temperature-indicating color-changing material is CoCl2•6H2O•2.5MgSO4•7H2O.

[0017] Preferably,

[0018] When the temperature-indicating color-changing material is a paint, the paint base material is polyurethane, and the temperature-indicating color-changing material is CoCl2•6H2O•0.5MgSO4•7H2O.

[0019] Preferably,

[0020] When the temperature-indicating color-changing material is a paint, the paint base material is epoxy resin, and the temperature-indicating color-changing material is CoCl2•6H2O•2.0MgSO4•7H2O.

[0021] In addition, the present application also discloses a preparation method of the temperature-indicating color-changing material for the power system, comprising the following steps:

[0024] S300, drying the mixture B to remove water to prepare the temperature-indicating color-changing material;

[0025] Preferably,

[0026] When the temperature is 90-100 degrees Celsius, the temperature-indicating color-changing material has a clear red-blue bichromatic change.

[0027] Preferably,

[0028] S400, proportionally configuring the temperature-indicating color-changing material and the paint base material to prepare a paint.

[0029] In summary, due to the relatively strong and obvious contrast of red and blue colors in vision, even if the power system equipment, wire terminal and the like are in complex operating conditions and the surrounding environment color light exists, the red and blue colors are still easy to identify, which meets the effective and sensitive monitoring requirements of the power system equipment, wire terminal and the like in heat failure, and a simple, fast and convenient and relatively accurate overheat failure troubleshooting scheme is realized.
