Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of circuit breaker equipment, and particularly to a method, device and equipment for measuring the temperature of the incoming and outgoing cables of an intelligent molded case circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] An intelligent molded case circuit breaker, also known as a device type circuit breaker, is a common industrial and civil power distribution protection device applicable to environments below 2000m above sea level, and can achieve precise protection against overload and short circuit faults in power distribution lines. When the intelligent molded case circuit breaker encounters abnormal situations such as large line current and loose terminal connections, the temperature of the terminal is often relatively high. Therefore, the intelligent molded case circuit breaker needs to measure the temperature of its connecting cables in order to comprehensively and real-time monitor these abnormal situations.

[0003] Generally speaking, an intelligent molded case circuit breaker needs to measure the temperatures of the cables of 3 incoming lines of phases A, B, and C and 3 outgoing lines of phases A, B, and C, and 6 temperature sensors are required. All these 6 temperature sensors need to be connected to an intelligent module for signal conversion and processing to finally obtain the actual temperature. In the traditional temperature measurement method for intelligent molded case circuit breakers, each temperature sensor is separately used for signal acquisition and processing. Each temperature sensor needs to lead a wire from the cable joint to the intelligent module. Too many wires occupy too much space and the resources of the intelligent module, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the volume of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0042] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "comprises / comprising" or "has / including" etc. specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0043] In the current temperature measurement method for intelligent molded case circuit breakers, each temperature sensor needs to be separately subjected to signal acquisition and processing, and each temperature sensor needs to lead a wire from the cable joint to the intelligent module. Too many wires take up too much space and the resources of the intelligent module. Based on this, this application provides a method for measuring the temperature of the incoming and outgoing cables of an intelligent molded case circuit breaker. Six temperature sensors are divided into two groups: an incoming line group and an outgoing line group, and a bus structure is used for each group respectively. To solve the problem of positioning the line position of the measured temperature, a temperature binding process is also introduced. Once the temperature binding is successful, the binding information is stored in the memory of the device and will no longer be needed in the future. Therefore, the binding process only needs to be carried out once during the entire life cycle of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker. Moreover, the binding process is closely integrated with the device production process and seamlessly connected, and the additional production processes and time consumed are basically negligible.

[0044] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a method for measuring the temperature of the incoming and outgoing cables of an intelligent molded case circuit breaker is provided, including:

[0045] Step S300: Obtain the temperature sensing signals output by the incoming line bus and the outgoing line bus. Among them, the incoming line bus is connected to the incoming line temperature sensor group arranged on the incoming line side of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, and the outgoing line bus is connected to the outgoing line temperature sensor group arranged on the outgoing line side of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker.

[0046] Specifically, the number of temperature sensing signals transmitted in the incoming line bus and the outgoing line bus is not unique. That is, the specific number of temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group can be set according to actual needs. In one embodiment, the incoming line temperature sensor group includes an A-phase incoming line temperature sensor, a B-phase incoming line temperature sensor, and a C-phase incoming line temperature sensor, which are arranged on the circuit breaker body and are respectively used to detect the temperatures of the A-phase incoming line, B-phase incoming line, and C-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker. The A-phase incoming line temperature sensor, B-phase incoming line temperature sensor, and C-phase incoming line temperature sensor all transmit temperature sensing signals through the incoming line bus. The outgoing line temperature sensor group includes an A-phase outgoing line temperature sensor, a B-phase outgoing line temperature sensor, and a C-phase outgoing line temperature sensor, which are arranged on the circuit breaker body and are respectively used to detect the temperatures of the A-phase outgoing line, B-phase outgoing line, and C-phase outgoing line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker. The A-phase outgoing line temperature sensor, B-phase outgoing line temperature sensor, and C-phase outgoing line temperature sensor all transmit temperature sensing signals through the outgoing line bus. The incoming line bus and the outgoing line bus can be specifically connected to the processor in the intelligent module, and the processor receives the temperature sensing signals output by the incoming line bus and the outgoing line bus. The type of the processor is not unique and can be an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), CPU (Central Processing Unit), MCU (Micro Control Unit), or any other device with programmable logic.

[0047] The processor is respectively connected to the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group through a bus structure, searches for and saves the identification information of each temperature sensor for subsequent communication with each temperature sensor to receive temperature sensing signals. In addition, the temperature sensor can also carry its own identification information each time it outputs a temperature sensing signal, so that the processor knows which temperature sensor emits the temperature sensing signal. The processor can determine the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor according to the temperature sensing signal. Since the bus structures of the two groups of temperature sensors are separate, the processor can also know whether the two measured temperature values correspond to the incoming line or the outgoing line. The identification information is the unique identification information of the temperature sensor, and the type of the identification information is not unique and can be a use number, code, or ID (Identity), etc. In this embodiment, the ID is used as the identification information.

[0048] Step S400: Determine the phase positions of the temperature sensors that output corresponding temperature sensing signals in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group according to the preset binding data and the identification information of the temperature sensors that output corresponding temperature sensing signals in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group. The preset binding data is obtained by calibrating and binding the phase positions of the temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group with the identification information, and represents the corresponding relationship between the phase positions of the temperature sensors and the identification information.

[0049] Specifically, during the production process of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, calibration tests can be performed by applying current to the ABC phases of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker respectively. The phase positions of the temperature sensors are calibrated and bound with the identification information to obtain the preset binding data and store it in the memory. The memory can be non-volatile and volatile memories. The non-volatile memory can include read-only memory (ROM), magnetic tape, floppy disk, flash memory, optical memory, high-density embedded non-volatile memory, resistive random access memory (ReRAM), magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM), ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM), phase change memory (PCM), graphene memory, etc. The volatile memory can include random access memory (RAM) or external cache memory, etc. By way of illustration and not limitation, RAM can be in various forms, such as static random access memory (SRAM) or dynamic random access memory (DRAM), etc.

[0050] Among them, the memory can include the memory set in the circuit breaker body of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker and / or the memory set in the intelligent module of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker. When the intelligent module is pluggable, the preset binding data can be stored in the memory of the intelligent module, or in the memory of the circuit breaker body, or the two memories can save the preset binding data respectively. Placing the memory on the circuit breaker body eliminates the need for recalibration and binding when replacing the intelligent module. The intelligent module directly reads the binding data from the memory of the circuit breaker body. In addition, the circuit breaker body data can be directly stored in the memory of the circuit breaker body, or first stored in the intelligent module and then saved from the intelligent module to the memory of the circuit breaker body.

[0051] Specifically, after receiving the temperature sensing signals output by the incoming line bus and the outgoing line bus, the processor can know the phase positions of the temperature sensors that output the temperature sensing signals according to the IDs of the respective temperature sensors and in combination with the stored preset binding data. For example, the preset binding data includes incoming line group binding data and outgoing line group binding data. The incoming line group binding data contains the IDs corresponding to the A-phase incoming line temperature sensor, the B-phase incoming line temperature sensor, and the C-phase incoming line temperature sensor respectively. The outgoing line group binding data contains the IDs corresponding to the A-phase outgoing line temperature sensor, the B-phase outgoing line temperature sensor, and the C-phase outgoing line temperature sensor respectively. By combining the incoming line group binding data and the IDs of the respective temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group that output the temperature sensing signals, the processor can know which temperature sensor on the incoming line side sends the temperature sensing signals output by the incoming line bus. Similarly, by combining the outgoing line group binding data and the IDs of the respective temperature sensors in the outgoing line temperature sensor group that output the temperature sensing signals, the processor can know which temperature sensor on the outgoing line side sends the temperature sensing signals output by the outgoing line bus.

[0052] Step S500: Determine the cable temperatures of the incoming lines of each phase of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker according to the phase positions of the respective temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the output temperature sensing signals. After the processor determines which temperature sensing signal is sent by each temperature sensor in the incoming line temperature sensor group, it can determine the cable temperatures of the incoming lines of each phase of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker according to the temperature sensing signals.

[0053] Step S600: Determine the cable temperatures of the outgoing lines of each phase of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker according to the phase positions of the respective temperature sensors in the outgoing line temperature sensor group and the output temperature sensing signals. After the processor determines which temperature sensing signal is sent by each temperature sensor in the outgoing line temperature sensor group, it can determine the cable temperatures of the outgoing lines of each phase of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker according to the temperature sensing signals.

[0054] In the above method for measuring the cable temperatures of the incoming and outgoing lines of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, the temperature sensing signals detected and output by the respective temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group are transmitted through a bus structure. By combining the identification information of the temperature sensors and the preset binding data, the phase positions of the respective temperature sensors are determined, and then the cable temperatures of the incoming lines and the outgoing lines of each phase of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker are determined, effectively reducing the number of leads of the temperature sensors and facilitating the miniaturization of the volume of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker.

[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, before step S400, the method further includes step S100 and step S200.

[0056] Step S100: When applying current to the corresponding-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, determine the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor in the incoming-line temperature sensor group and the outgoing-line temperature sensor group according to the temperature induction signals output by the incoming-line bus and the outgoing-line bus.

[0057] Specifically, during the production process of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, when entering the calibration test production process, the automated production line uses communication to notify the intelligent molded case circuit breaker to enter the temperature binding process. The intelligent module of the intelligent molded case immediately records the temperature values detected by each of the 6 temperature sensors in 3 groups as the basis for subsequent temperature comparison. When the automated production line applies current to the corresponding-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, the processor continues to receive the temperature induction signals output by the incoming-line bus and the outgoing-line bus, and obtains the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor in real time.

[0058] It can be understood that during the calibration test, current can be applied to the incoming lines of the ABC three phases of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker respectively to obtain the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor to bind the corresponding relationship between the phase position where the temperature sensor is located and the identification information. Or current can be applied to the incoming lines of only two phases of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker to obtain the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor and analyze the corresponding relationship between the temperature sensors of these two phases and the identification information. The corresponding relationship between the temperature sensors of the remaining one phase can be directly determined.

[0059] Step S200: Analyze and determine the corresponding relationship between the phase position where each temperature sensor is located and the identification information in the incoming-line temperature sensor group and the outgoing-line temperature sensor group according to the temperature values, and obtain the preset binding data for storage.

[0060] Specifically, after the processor obtains the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor when current is applied to the relevant-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, it compares them with the temperature values saved before the current application, analyzes whether the temperature has risen, so as to determine which phase each temperature sensor is set in, determine the corresponding relationship between the phase position where each temperature sensor is located and the identification information, and obtain the preset binding data and store it in the memory.

[0061] In one embodiment, the temperature values include the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor in the incoming-line temperature sensor group and the outgoing-line temperature sensor group when current is applied to the A-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, and the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor in the incoming-line temperature sensor group and the outgoing-line temperature sensor group when current is applied to the B-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker. Step S200 includes Step 220, Step 240, and Step 260.

[0062] Step 220: According to the temperature values detected by each temperature sensor in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group when a current is applied to the A-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, and the temperature values saved before the current is applied, determine the temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group whose detected temperature rise amplitude is greater than the set threshold, and respectively use them as the temperature sensors arranged on the A-phase incoming line and the A-phase outgoing line.

[0063] Step 240: According to the temperature values detected by the remaining temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group when a current is applied to the B-phase incoming line of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, and the temperature values saved before the current is applied, determine the temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group whose detected temperature rise amplitude is greater than the set threshold, and respectively use them as the temperature sensors arranged on the B-phase incoming line and the B-phase outgoing line.

[0064] Step 260: Respectively use the remaining two temperature sensors in the incoming line temperature sensor group and the outgoing line temperature sensor group as the temperature sensors arranged on the C-phase incoming line and the C-phase outgoing line, complete the binding of the corresponding relationship between the phase positions where each temperature sensor is located and the identification information, and obtain the preset binding data for storage.

[0065] Among them, the value of the set threshold is not unique and can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the set threshold is 2°C. The automated production line applies an A-phase current to the intelligent molded case circuit breaker and notifies the intelligent module of the intelligent molded case. As the current continues, the cable temperature keeps rising. The processor in the intelligent module continuously measures the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, compares the measured temperature value with the temperature value saved at the start of calibration. When the temperature rise value of a certain temperature is greater than 2°C, the processor determines the ID corresponding to this temperature as the ID of the A-phase temperature sensor. When the A-phases of the incoming and outgoing lines are both found, the automated production line applies a B-phase current to the intelligent molded case circuit breaker and notifies the intelligent module of the intelligent molded case. The processor continuously measures the temperatures of the remaining 4 sensors. When it detects that the temperature rise values of two of them are greater than 2°C, it determines the IDs corresponding to these two temperatures as the IDs of the B-phase temperature sensors. At the same time, the processor determines the IDs corresponding to the remaining two temperatures that do not rise as the IDs of the C-phase temperature sensors. The processor saves the IDs of the temperature sensors and the position information to the non-volatile memory, and the binding process ends.

[0066] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-described embodiments are shown in sequence according to the indications of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless specifically stated herein, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders.

These steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times.
