Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electrical switch cabinet maintenance, and specifically relates to a test box button instruction holding device and a circuit thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nuclear power plant operations and post-maintenance testing of turnaround equipment require the operation of turnaround equipment. However, when the equipment is not online properly or the motor is disconnected from the pump or fan, protective shutdown instructions may be issued. This affects some 380V and 6.6kV electrical switches. One method involves using a test box on the electrical switchgear to initiate the operation and maintaining the button pressed and the test box inserted for an extended period. However, this method requires long wiring and the weight of the test box itself, resulting in a heavy and long overall length and risk of loose connections and accidental contact with other electrical switches. Furthermore, the electrical switchgear does not have a storage space for the test box, so the current practice is to temporarily attach it to the switchgear with tape. Another method involves using the instrumentation and control system to enforce the signal and lock the protective shutdown signal. However, this method carries the risk of time-consuming and labor-intensive coordination and human error during enforcement. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Figure 1 Shown is a circuit diagram of a test box button instruction holding device provided by an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0009] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0010] Figure 1 The figure shows a circuit diagram of a test box button instruction holding device provided by an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that, Figure 1 The inner dotted box is the circuit diagram of the test box, the circuit diagram of the holding device is between the outer dotted box and the inner dotted box, and the electrical switch cabinet socket and control circuit are outside the outer dotted box.

[0011] like Figure 1As shown, the circuit of the test box button command holding device includes a first circuit, a second circuit, a third circuit, and a fourth circuit. The first circuit is sequentially provided with a first relay 11, a second relay contact 14, and a first relay contact 13. The first circuit is configured to be connected between the closing circuit of the electrical switch cabinet and the test position. The first relay contact 13 is a normally open contact. The second relay contact 14 is a normally closed contact. The second circuit is configured to be connected between the end of the second relay contact 14 closest to the first relay contact 13 and the power supply of the electrical switch cabinet. The closing button "ON" of the test box is configured to be connected between the second relay contact 14 and the power supply. The third circuit includes a second relay 12. The third circuit is configured to be connected between the opening circuit of the electrical switch cabinet and the power supply. The opening button "OFF" of the test box is configured to be connected between the second relay 12 and the power supply. The fourth circuit is configured to be connected between the test box and the ground wire of the electrical switch cabinet. In this way, when the test box starts the equipment, when the test box button presses the closing button "ON", the first relay 11 is energized and the first relay contact 13 is closed, so that the first relay 11, the first relay contact 13 and the second relay contact 14 on the first circuit are conductive. Even if the closing button "ON" on the test box is released, the equipment can still keep running, so that when the test box is unplugged, the electrical switch cabinet can still maintain the test closing state.

[0012] In addition, the simple structural design of the circuit of the holding device makes the weight of the holding device very light relative to the test box. Therefore, the holding device can be used so that when the test box is required to force the start of the equipment during operation activities and post-maintenance test activities, there is no need to hang the test box on the on-site electrical switch cabinet for a long time, avoiding the situation of hanging the heavier test box on the electrical switch cabinet or sticking it to the electrical switch cabinet, and also reducing the implementation of signal forcing, reducing possible errors such as signal forcing errors or missed recovery.

[0013] It should be noted that the first relay 11 may be relay 001XD, and the second relay 12 may be relay 002XD. The power supply may be a 110V DC control power supply.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first relay 11, the second relay contact 14, and the first relay contact 13 may form a holding circuit. When the first relay 11, the first relay contact 13, and the second relay contact 14 are conductive, the holding circuit remains open, and the closing circuits of the electrical switch cabinet and the test box remain open.

[0015] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the circuitry of the test box button command holding device includes multiple first plugs and multiple second sockets. The multiple first plugs are configured to connect to the multiple first sockets on the electrical switch cabinet, respectively. The multiple second sockets are configured to connect to the multiple second plugs on the test box, respectively. In this manner, when the holding device is used in conjunction with the test box, before the test box starts the device, the multiple first plugs (with pins inside, numbered 1-5 in the figure) of the holding device are inserted into the multiple first sockets (with sockets inside, numbered 1-5 in the figure) on the electrical switch cabinet. When the test box starts the device, the multiple second plugs (with pins inside, numbered 6-10 in the figure) of the test box are inserted into the multiple second sockets (with sockets inside, numbered 6-10 in the figure) of the holding device. When the test box stops the device, the multiple second plugs (with pins inside, numbered 6-10 in the figure) of the test box are inserted into the multiple second sockets (with sockets inside, numbered 6-10 in the figure) of the holding device. Then, the "OFF" button on the test box is pressed. The second relay 12 of the holding device is energized, the second relay contact 14 is separated, the first relay 11, the second relay contact 14 and the first relay contact 13 are not conductive, the first relay 11 is not energized, the first relay contact 13 is separated, the closing circuit of the electrical switch cabinet is not conductive, the opening circuit is conductive, the switch is opened, and the equipment is shut down.

[0016] It should be noted that the plurality of first plugs may constitute a connector, which may be connected to a socket of an electrical switch cabinet, and the plurality of second sockets may constitute another connector, which may be connected to a plug of a test box.

[0017] At least one embodiment of the present application further provides a device for retaining test box button commands. This device includes the circuitry of the device for retaining test box button commands described in the aforementioned embodiments of the present application. Because the device comprises only two relays with a single contact and two connectors, lightweight materials can be selected, resulting in a simple and lightweight device. Furthermore, because the device includes the circuitry of the device for retaining test box button commands described in the aforementioned embodiments, it can achieve the corresponding technical effects, which will not be further elaborated here.

[0018] It should be noted that, in addition to the circuit of the test box button instruction holding device in the above embodiment, the holding device may also include other structures such as a housing.

[0019] It should also be noted that the combination of the various technical features in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the combination described in the embodiments of the present application or the combination described in the specific embodiments. All technical features described in the present application can be freely combined or combined in any way unless there is a contradiction between them.

[0020] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
