[0003] The patent application number 202210498500.7 proposes a system and method for full performance testing of measurement units. By setting up test units such as an energy acquisition and metering function test unit, a hardware interface test unit, a characteristic current communication test unit, a remote meter reading function test unit, a switch remote control and telesignaling test unit, and a switch terminal temperature measurement test unit, it realizes independent testing of various functions of the measurement unit on the same system. It is not restricted by circuit breaker switch bodies from different manufacturers, and has the characteristics of plug-and-play testing of measurement units. After the test is completed, the test results of various functional items are formed, and the interchangeability and compatibility of measurement units from different manufacturers can be evaluated, which can greatly improve the efficiency of detection work and greatly save detection costs. However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings: 1. The existing technology is a system and method for full performance testing of measurement units, and the targeted testing of multiple product functions of new metering equipment is not comprehensive: such as the main functions of miniature circuit breakers and photovoltaic switches; 2. The existing technology is mostly for whole-machine testing, and there is no testing solution for micro-collective metering equipment with a dual-core solution of metering pole + management module control pole + switch pole combination; 3. Conventional testing solutions require actual injection voltage and current for metering, and if functional tests such as daily freezing are required, the cycle is relatively long; there is no solution for functional verification of the management module control switch pole.

[0096] B11) The test process is stored and displayed, and the test is completed.
[0097] The implementation principle of the micro-collective metering device in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5As shown. This micro-collective metering device includes a switch pole, a switch detection module, a power module, a metering and communication module, and a display and Bluetooth module. The switch pole is equipped with a current transformer and a leakage current transformer. The input end of the switch pole is connected to the 220V mains power and supplies power to the power module. The power module converts the alternating current into DC power and outputs direct current to the switch detection module and the metering and communication module. The metering and communication module is electrically connected to the current transformer and leakage current transformer on the switch pole to perform load current and leakage current sampling. The metering and communication module is electrically connected to the switch detection module to receive switch position detection signals and send opening and closing control signals. The metering and communication module is electrically connected to the display and Bluetooth module for data exchange.
[0098] The input end of the switch pole is connected to the 220V mains power, that is, connected to the L and N lines, and then supplies the power module; the power module performs AC / DC conversion and outputs 9V and 15V DC power, which respectively power the switch detection module, metering and communication module, and display and Bluetooth module.
[0099] The metering and communication module collects and monitors leakage current by collecting leakage current signals input by leakage current transformers on switch poles. The metering module samples load current by collecting load current signals input by current transformers on switch poles.
[0100] The switch detection module detects the rotation position of the switch pole gear and sends the switch position detection signal to the metering and communication module. The metering module sends the opening and closing control signal to the switch detection module based on the judgment of the switch status. The switch detection module realizes the opening and closing of the switch through the opening and closing transmission.
[0101] In this embodiment, the switch pole is also equipped with an operating mechanism, contacts, a protective device (trip), an arc extinguishing system, a terminal temperature measurement module, and an input and output voltage detection module. The metering and communication module is mainly composed of an MCU module, a storage module, an ESAM security module, an RS485 communication module, a weak current output interface, and an indicator light module. The display and Bluetooth module is mainly composed of a liquid crystal display module, a key module, and a Bluetooth communication module.
[0102] The switch detection module is equipped with a motor and drive circuit, a leakage tripping coil and drive circuit, and an opening and closing position detection circuit. The motor and drive circuit control the opening and closing motor's operation via a dedicated driver chip, ensuring output power and improving drive stability. The leakage tripping coil and drive circuit use a one-way thyristor to control the tripping coil's operating time. The opening and closing position detection circuit ensures the reliability of opening and closing by detecting the position of the opening and closing gears and the actual position of the shift lever.
[0103] The micro-collective metering device integrates functions such as energy metering, communication, temperature monitoring, control, remote protection setting, short-circuit protection, and reverse power online monitoring. It has a 4-terminal temperature measurement function and supports leakage detection and input and output line voltage detection. Its metering and switch control functions, as well as leakage protection functions, are suitable for residential electricity application scenarios. Its input and output line voltage detection and frequency detection and other anti-islanding protection functions can be applied to photovoltaic grid-connected application scenarios. Its metering and control functions can be applied to orderly power consumption scenarios of charging piles. 4-terminal temperature measurement, leakage current detection, reverse power online monitoring, input and output line voltage detection, short-circuit protection and other functions make the application of micro-collective metering equipment safer and more reliable.
[0104] The present invention provides a testing device and method for micro-collective metering equipment. These testing methods support two testing modes: complete micro-collective metering equipment testing and simulated metering module testing of the management module and switch terminals. By combining the test results from these two parts, both the operational reliability of the management module and switch terminals can be tested, as well as the metering module's metering accuracy. This method can simulate the metering module, writing metering data or abnormal data via a PC without actually operating the metering module, enabling targeted verification of the management module's processing capabilities. This method also offers a short testing cycle and improved testing efficiency. The present invention can simulate photovoltaic grid-connected conditions: by controlling the voltage at the input and output terminals of a programmable power source, the micro-collective metering device can be simulated in a photovoltaic grid-connected environment, effectively testing the monitoring and control capabilities of the management module and the switching capabilities. The present invention can also simulate photovoltaic islanding conditions: by controlling the output swing voltage and frequency of the programmable power source, the micro-collective metering device can be simulated in an islanding environment to test its anti-islanding protection function. The present invention can also simulate the output of a leakage current signal, enabling testing of the leakage protection function of the micro-collective metering device. Therefore, the present invention has comprehensive testing functions, which not only improves testing efficiency but also improves testing reliability.
[0105] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other manner.

However, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments that do not depart from the technical content of the present invention and are based on the technical essence of the present invention remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
