Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric power equipment, and in particular to an auxiliary contact expansion device for a distribution network ring main cabinet. Background Art
[0002] When debugging automated switches, commissioning personnel often need to expand the input signal based on a single input, allowing them to verify the device's functionality. Due to factors such as equipment procurement, different devices may have different input signals. This means commissioning personnel must select relays triggered by different voltages to expand the input signal based on the on-site equipment. Multiple relay groups are required to create multiple auxiliary contacts, requiring considerable time to build and configure.
[0003] The existing auxiliary contact expansion device of the distribution network ring network cabinet has the following disadvantages: multiple groups of relays need to be combined with each other to expand multiple auxiliary contacts, and during the construction process, it is necessary to find a power supply on site. The temporary circuit cannot well guarantee the electrical safety of the debugging personnel, and therefore often leads to misoperation of the auxiliary contacts and electric shock. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary contact expansion device for a distribution network ring main cabinet, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0006] The auxiliary contact expansion device of the distribution network ring network cabinet includes a circuit board, an isolation step-down module is welded on the top of the circuit board, and a field effect tube is installed on one end of the isolation step-down module through a mounting hole, a high-voltage and high-current relay is installed between the field effect tube and the varistor by screws, wherein one end of the high-voltage and high-current relay close to the side of the isolation step-down module is welded with an IO multiplexing chip by a metal pin, and a voltage comparator is installed on one end of the IO multiplexing chip by screws, and an ESP32S2 single-chip computer is installed on one end of the top of the circuit board and on one side of the voltage comparator by screws. The method of using the auxiliary contact expansion device of the distribution network ring network cabinet is as follows: a lithium battery is connected to the circuit board to ensure applicability in an environment without power supply. It can also be connected to an external 12V power adapter for use. After 12V is connected, the isolation step-down module reduces it to 3.3V to provide power for internal components. The input interface can be connected to the ring network cabinet opening and closing contact line that needs to be expanded. When the opening and closing contact signal of the ring network cabinet is sent to this device, the voltage signal will be rectified by the rectifier bridge. After rectification, it will be reduced to an appropriate voltage through a voltage divider resistor, and then compared with the reference voltage of the trigger threshold by a voltage comparator. The output end of the voltage comparator is connected to the ESP32S2 microcontroller. The ESP32S2 microcontroller will perform real-time IO detection on the voltage comparator. When there is a trigger signal, it will control the IO multiplexing chip to give the field effect tube control signal, and the field effect tube will then drive the relay to close or disconnect.
[0007] Furthermore, varistors are installed at equal distances on one side of the top of the circuit board by screws and an isolation output interface is welded on one side of the varistor. Varistors are placed on the lines of the input interface and the isolation output interface to prevent surge interference.
[0008] Furthermore, positioning holes are provided at the corners of the circuit board.
[0009] Furthermore, there are four groups of isolated output interfaces, one end of which is equipped with an input interface via a screw, and the input interface can be connected to the opening and closing contact line of the ring network cabinet that needs to be expanded. When the opening and closing contact signal of the ring network cabinet is sent to this device, the voltage signal will be rectified through the rectifier bridge.
[0010] Furthermore, varistor is placed on the lines of the input interface and the isolated output interface to prevent interference from surge.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The equipment of this project innovatively integrates an integrated wide-voltage identification device. Compared with the use of general relays, the device of this project is compatible with input voltage signals in various scenarios, so that commissioning personnel do not need to carry a large number of relays with different control voltages to the site to expand the auxiliary contacts.
[0013] 2. Compared with conventional relay modules, the device in this project integrates multiple normally open and normally closed passive output signals and provides a large number of auxiliary contacts, which helps debuggers avoid spending a lot of time on relay circuit construction.
[0014] 3. Compared with the conventional auxiliary contact expansion solution, the device in this project has a built-in power supply battery and power supply circuit for use in the device, which avoids the need for debuggers to find a power source on site and use cables for connection. It greatly protects the operational safety risks caused by debuggers connecting to on-site power points, and saves debuggers a lot of time, thereby improving the debugging efficiency of debuggers.
