Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cable anti-theft monitoring system, and more particularly to an online monitoring and early warning system for off-line cables. Background Technology

[0002] Cables, as crucial equipment for power transmission, play a vital role in the stability and reliability of power systems. However, cables not in operation are highly susceptible to theft due to prolonged periods of inactivity and lack of supervision, causing direct and indirect economic losses to power companies and users. Therefore, effectively monitoring and providing early warning of theft of cables not in operation has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Currently, cable anti-theft devices based on power line carrier communication technology and vibration sensors exist on the market. However, these devices have some problems. Anti-theft devices based on power line carrier communication technology consist of a transmitter and a reflector, involving many components, resulting in high cost and complex installation. Furthermore, the end reflector is easily damaged, causing the device to malfunction. Vibration signal-based monitoring has a limited range, suitable for monitoring fixed installation points such as transformers, but unsuitable for monitoring long-distance cables, and suffers from high false alarm and false negative rates. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an online monitoring and early warning system for theft prevention of off-line cables. This system features a compact structure, multiple power supply options, accurate monitoring, and real-time early warning, effectively preventing off-line cables from being stolen or short-circuited, thereby improving the operational efficiency of power companies and social benefits.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] This invention provides an online monitoring and early warning system for theft prevention of off-line cables, including a detection host, a three-way connector, a photovoltaic module, and a server, wherein specifically:

[0007] The testing host includes a housing and a power management module disposed in the housing, an excitation voltage module connected to the power management module, and a current detection module connected to the output terminal of the excitation voltage module. The excitation voltage module is connected to the A-phase end and the B-phase end of the non-operating cable near the end, and the current detection module is connected to the C-phase end of the non-operating cable near the end. The excitation voltage module outputs a preset DC voltage to the cable under test, and the current detection module obtains the value of the loop current.

[0008] The three-connector is located at the other end of the non-operational cable. The three terminals of the three-connector are respectively connected to the A-phase terminal, B-phase terminal and C-phase terminal at the far end of the non-operational cable, so as to realize the parallel connection of the A-phase conductor and the B-phase conductor, and then the series connection of the C-phase conductor.

[0009] The photovoltaic module is connected to the power management module and is used to power the detection host.

[0010] The server is connected to the detection host for excitation voltage module to connect to the A-phase and B-phase ends of the non-operational cable, and current detection module to the C-phase end of the non-operational cable. The excitation voltage module outputs a preset DC voltage to the cable under test, and the current detection module obtains the value of the loop current.

[0011] The three-way connector is located at the other end of the non-operational cable. The three terminals of the three-way connector are respectively connected to the A-phase terminal, B-phase terminal and C-phase terminal at the far end of the non-operational cable, so as to realize the parallel connection of the A-phase conductor and the B-phase conductor, and then the series connection of the C-phase conductor.

[0012] Furthermore, the detection host also includes a battery, which is connected to the power management module.

[0013] Furthermore, the power management module is also connected to 220V AC mains power.

[0014] Furthermore, the off-line cable anti-theft online monitoring and early warning system also includes a user terminal, which is communicatively connected to the server and used to adjust the calculation parameters in the server and obtain monitoring and early warning status information.

[0015] Furthermore, the photovoltaic module includes a solar panel.

[0016] Furthermore, the excitation voltage module is used to output a DC excitation voltage of 1 to 50V.

[0017] Furthermore, the current detection module includes a current sensor.

[0018] Furthermore, the off-line cable anti-theft online monitoring and early warning system also includes a communication module, which is connected to the excitation voltage module and the current detection module respectively, and the communication module is connected to the server.

[0019] Furthermore, the terminating resistance R in the detection circuit of the detection host is 10 to 50 Ω, and the wiring resistance R0 of the three-connected wire in the detection circuit is 5 to 20 Ω.

[0020] Furthermore, the server analyzes the current value of the current detection module to achieve the process of anti-theft monitoring and early warning, as follows:

[0021] If the circuit current is lower than 95% of the reference current, it is assumed that one of phases A or B has been stolen.

[0022] If the circuit current is greater than 110% of the reference current, the cable is considered to have been deliberately short-circuited in three phases, posing a risk of theft.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0024] 1) Testing Host Design: The testing host adopts an integrated design, including a power management module, an excitation voltage module, and a current detection module. This design makes the testing host compact, convenient for installation and maintenance.

This design improves the stability and reliability of the system.

[0026] 3) Current Detection Module Design: The current detection module is connected to phase C of the non-operational cable. It outputs a preset DC voltage to the cable under test to obtain the loop current value.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Component models, material names, connection structures, control methods, algorithms, and other features not explicitly described in this technical solution are considered common technical features disclosed in the prior art.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] In principle:

[0038] The electrical parameters of power cables mainly include primary and secondary parameters, with resistance, capacitance, and inductance constituting the main components. Modeling off-line cables eliminates the need for operating voltage, current, and grounding systems, allowing low-voltage detection circuits to be directly applied to the entire cable for testing. The loop current monitoring principle of this invention is as follows: The three-phase (A, B, C) or single-phase conductors of the off-line cable are connected in series or parallel on one side of the cable end. A monitoring module is installed on the conductors and sheath on the other side. The monitoring module periodically sends a DC excitation voltage and simultaneously detects the loop current signal to detect the state of the monitored cable. The equivalent circuit is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0039] The formula for calculating cable circuit current is:

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] Among them: I R U is the loop detection current, U is the excitation voltage, L is the equivalent cable distance, and R is the current detected in the loop. 总 R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit. A =R B =R C R represents the resistance value per phase per kilometer of the cable, R is the terminal resistance of the device, and R0 is the wiring resistance. The resistance values ​​of phases A, B, and C are the same.

[0043] Based on the above calculation method, the cable loop current can be calculated.

[0044] The monitoring module consists of a DC excitation power supply and a sampling resistor. During a single measurement cycle, the excitation voltage source emits a steady-state DC voltage signal, which generates a corresponding current signal in the circuit according to Ohm's law. The two are linearly related. During each detection and recording cycle, the current value can be read. This set of current values ​​is linearly proportional to the preset excitation voltage value and inversely proportional to the resistance of the cable under test and the front and terminal resistance of the device.

[0045] During the installation of the device, based on the cable specifications and length, the theoretical value of the loop current can first be calculated using the calculation formula. At the same time, the initial measured value of the loop current of the cable under test can be obtained. Usually, due to errors in length and resistance, there is a certain deviation between the theoretical value and the measured value of the loop circuit. Therefore, the loop current warning value after the device is installed should be calculated with reference to the initial measured value.

[0046] The early warning and monitoring device is powered by photovoltaic solar energy (DC 18V), and is also equipped with lead-acid batteries as backup power. It also retains an AC 220V power supply interface. Power switching is automatically performed by the built-in power management module.

[0047] The device has a built-in excitation voltage module that outputs a 10V DC voltage to the cable under test through the R terminating resistor. The current detection module determines whether the current exceeds the threshold by sampling the circuit current. If the threshold is exceeded, an alarm message is sent to the management personnel via group SMS / WeChat, and the device alarm light flashes.

[0048] When conducting online monitoring of cables not in operation, the conductor cores at both ends of phases A and B are first connected in parallel with copper / aluminum wire, and then connected in series with the conductor core of phase C to form a current loop. The A-phase and C-phase conductors on one side are then connected to an early warning monitoring device. During testing, the cable parameters and length are first entered through a WeChat mini-program parameter configuration interface. Then, the device is activated, outputting a 10V DC excitation voltage to the cable end. Finally, the cable's condition is detected by measuring the loop current.

[0049] Cable power failure detection function

[0050] The early warning monitoring device also has a power failure detection function. If thieves remove the device before stealing it, and the device fails to detect the circuit current at regular intervals, it will immediately send an abnormal alarm message to the users.

[0051] The early warning monitoring device is based on the principle of loop current detection. The magnitude of the loop current is related to the loop resistance (including cable resistance, terminal resistance, and wiring resistance), cable length, and wiring method.

[0052] To facilitate on-site installation and wiring, this solution uses a three-core cable with two parallel connections and one series connection. At the other end of the cable, each of the three phases (A, B, and C) is connected in series with a resistor of equal value. Figure 3As shown.

[0053] The online monitoring and early warning system for theft prevention of non-operational cables in this invention includes a detection host, a three-way connector 6, a photovoltaic module, and a server 7, as detailed below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0054] The testing host includes a housing 1 and a power management module 2 housed within the housing 1, an excitation voltage module 3 connected to the power management module 2, and a current detection module 4 connected to the output terminal of the excitation voltage module 3. The excitation voltage module 3 is connected to the A-phase and B-phase terminals near the end of the off-line cable 5, and the current detection module 4 is connected to the C-phase terminal near the end of the off-line cable 5. The excitation voltage module 3 outputs a preset DC voltage to the cable under test, and the current detection module 5 acquires the value of the loop current. The power management module 2 uses a mainstream power management chip.

[0055] The three-connector 6 is located at the other end of the non-operational cable 5. The three connection terminals of the three-connector 6 are respectively connected to the A-phase terminal, B-phase terminal and C-phase terminal at the far end of the non-operational cable 5, so as to realize the parallel connection of the A-phase conductor and the B-phase conductor, and then the series connection of the C-phase conductor.

[0056] The photovoltaic module is connected to the power management module 2 and is used to power the detection host.

[0057] Server 7 is connected to the detection host and is used to analyze the current value of current detection module 4, thereby realizing anti-theft monitoring and early warning.

[0058] The testing host also includes a storage battery 8, which is connected to the power management module 2.

[0059] Power management module 2 is also connected to 220V AC mains power. When neither battery 8 nor photovoltaic module can output the preset operating voltage, power management module 2 switches to AC mains power supply.

[0060] The off-line cable anti-theft online monitoring and early warning system also includes a user terminal 9, which is communicatively connected to the server 7 and used to adjust the calculation parameters in the server 7 and obtain monitoring and early warning status information.

[0061] The photovoltaic module includes a solar panel 10.

[0062] The excitation voltage module 3 is used to output a DC excitation voltage of 1-50V. The current detection module 4 includes a current sensor. The off-line cable anti-theft online monitoring and early warning system also includes a communication module 11, which is connected to both the excitation voltage module 3 and the current detection module 4, and is also communicatively connected to the server 7.

[0063] The terminating resistance R in the detection circuit of the detection host is 10 to 50 Ω, and the connection resistance R0 of the three-connected wire 6 in the detection circuit is 5 to 20 Ω.

[0064] In practice:

[0065] Taking the 8128-22 crossover cable of Yangpeng as an example, the cable model is YJV-3*400mm. 2 The cable is 0.7856 km long, with a resistance of 0.0621 Ω / km, an excitation voltage of 12V, a terminating resistor R of 30 Ω, and a wiring resistor R0 of 10 Ω. Under normal circumstances, the loop current is calculated using the following formula:

[0066]

[0067]

[0068] Among them: I R U is the loop detection current, U is the excitation voltage, L is the equivalent cable distance, and R is the current detected in the loop. 总 R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit. A =R B =R C R represents the resistance value per phase per kilometer of the cable, R is the terminal resistance of the device, and R0 is the wiring resistance. The resistance values ​​of phases A, B, and C are the same.

[0069] According to the calculation formula, the theoretical reference current for a cable circuit under normal circumstances is:

[0070]

[0071] 1) If, in the case of a parallel connection of phases A and B, any one of the three phases of the cable is stolen, then:

[0072] R 总 =2×(L×R) C +R0)=20.09Ω

[0073]

[0074] I R ′ =90%I R

[0075] Considering the numerical fluctuations caused by interference, if the loop current is lower than 95% of the reference current at a certain moment, it is considered that one of the phase cables in the AB parallel connection has been stolen.

[0076] 2) If the cable is short-circuited in the middle

[0077] ① Short circuit at the very beginning of the cable

[0078] If the cable is short-circuited at its very beginning, the cable's equivalent resistance is 0, and the loop current is:

[0079]

[0080] ② Short circuit at 1 / 2 point of the cable

[0081] If the cable is short-circuited at the 1 / 2 mark, there is no end-connection resistance R0, and the equivalent resistance of the cable is:

[0082]

[0083] ③ Short circuit at 2 / 3 of the cable

[0084] If the cable is short-circuited at 2 / 3 of its length, there is no end-connection resistance R0, and the equivalent resistance of the cable is:

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] The calculation results show that the current changes are very large no matter where the cable is artificially short-circuited in three phases. This is because the cable is short-circuited in the middle and the end connection resistance R0 is cut off, which greatly reduces the equivalent resistance of the line and causes the loop current to surge.

[0088] Considering the numerical fluctuations caused by interference, if the loop current is greater than 110% of the reference current at a certain moment, i.e., 321.96mA, it is considered that the cable may have been deliberately short-circuited in three phases, and there is a risk of theft.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
