Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical components technology, and in particular to an instant alarm device and method for anti-theft lead seals. Background Technology

[0002] Anti-theft lead seals are interlocking devices used to prevent the tampering and destruction of electricity meters. However, currently, the integrity of these seals is mostly checked manually during inspections in the power sector, which cannot detect and stop electricity theft in a timely manner. Furthermore, when electricity theft is discovered, the amount stolen cannot be accurately calculated, often resulting in a one-time fine to recover the illegal gains, leading to inaccurate fines. Therefore, anti-theft lead seals need further upgrading. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an instant alarm device and method for anti-electricity theft lead seals, which effectively solves the problems of lead seal devices failing to provide timely alarms and inaccurate fines for electricity theft mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an instant alarm device for an anti-theft lead seal, comprising a locking button, a pressure plate, an upper latch, a movable latch, a lower latch, a lead seal hole, a pressing platform, a start button, and an alarm circuit; the locking button is connected to the lead seal device via the upper latch and the movable latch; after the lower latch and the movable latch are engaged, the pressure plate is fixed, and the pressure plate presses the lead seal rope inserted into the lead seal hole against the lead seal platform to prevent the lead seal rope from slipping out; the start switch is the control switch for the alarm circuit, has a self-locking function, and cannot be turned off after activation;

[0005] The alarm circuit includes a power supply, a start switch, a voltage equalizing capacitor, a power supply capacitor, a communication module, and a break switch. One end of the start switch is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the other end of the start switch is connected to one end of the voltage equalizing capacitor. The other end of the voltage equalizing capacitor is connected to one end of the power supply capacitor, and the other end of the power supply capacitor is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. The input terminal of the communication module is connected between the voltage equalizing capacitor and the power supply capacitor. The output terminal of the communication module is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. One end of the break switch is connected to the input terminal of the communication module, and the other end of the break switch is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the start switch is the device start button for debugging and commissioning after the anti-theft lead seal device is first put into operation; the voltage equalizing capacitor realizes the functions of voltage equalization and current interruption in different operating states of the circuit; the power supply capacitor provides a stable operating voltage for the communication module through voltage equalization by series capacitors; the communication module uses a wireless communication protocol to realize data transmission, and when the communication module is working, it will continuously send the unique code and alarm identifier of the anti-theft lead seal device to the data acquisition terminal; the break switch is a normally closed switch. When the lead seal rope is inserted into the lead seal hole and clamped, the break switch closes; when the lead seal rope is deliberately damaged, the break switch opens. The lead seal rope is a conductive line.

[0007] This invention provides an instant alarm method for anti-electricity theft lead seals, employing the aforementioned instant alarm device for anti-electricity theft lead seals. During the initial operation of the anti-electricity theft lead seal device, the start button is pressed. At this time, the lead seal rope is not connected, the break switch is open, and the power supply is connected to the equalizing capacitor, the power supply capacitor, and the communication module to achieve stable power supply to the communication module. The communication module communicates with the data acquisition terminal within the station via a wireless transmission protocol to test the communication function of the anti-electricity theft lead seal device. After the test, the lead seal rope is threaded into the lead seal hole, and the locking button is pressed. The two pressure plates below the locking button then lock the lead seal rope. When the device is clamped to the clamping platform, the break switch closes, short-circuiting both the power supply capacitor and the communication module. The power supply charges the equalizing capacitor until it is fully charged. When the equalizing capacitor is charged to the same potential as the power supply, the circuit reaches a steady state, and the power supply stops discharging. At this point, the anti-theft lead seal device is operational. When the lead seal rope is broken by external force, the break switch opens, and the equalizing capacitor and the power supply capacitor recharge and discharge to achieve voltage distribution. When the circuit reaches a steady state, the power supply provides stable power to the communication module through the power supply capacitor. The communication module continuously sends the unique code and alarm identifier of the anti-theft lead seal device to the data acquisition terminal until the alarm is cleared.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the anti-electricity theft lead seal device with real-time alarm function can realize real-time alarm of electricity theft through real-time alarm circuit, provide reference basis for the punishment and accountability of electricity theft, effectively prevent the further implementation of electricity theft, and realize accurate judgment and accountability of electricity theft.

The locking button 1 is connected to the lead seal device through the upper latch 2 and the movable latch 4. After the lower latch 5 is locked with the movable latch 4, it can fix the pressure plate 2. The pressure plate 2 presses the lead seal rope inserted into the lead seal hole 6 against the pressing platform 7 to prevent the lead seal rope from slipping out. The start switch is the control switch for the alarm circuit, has a self-locking function, and cannot be turned off after being started.

[0018] The alarm circuit includes a power supply DC, a start switch S1, a voltage equalization capacitor C1, a power supply capacitor C2, a communication module CM, and a break switch S2. One end of the start switch S1 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply DC, and the other end of the start switch S1 is connected to one end of the voltage equalization capacitor C1. The other end of the voltage equalization capacitor C1 is connected to one end of the power supply capacitor C2, and the other end of the power supply capacitor C2 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply DC. The input terminal of the communication module CM is connected between the voltage equalization capacitor C1 and the power supply capacitor C2. The output terminal of the communication module CM is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply DC. One end of the break switch S2 is connected to the input terminal of the communication module CM, and the other end of the break switch S2 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply DC.

[0019] The start switch S1 is the device start button 8 used for debugging and commissioning of the anti-theft lead seal device after its initial operation; the equalizing capacitor C1 realizes the functions of equalizing voltage and interrupting current in different working states of the circuit; the power supply capacitor C2 provides a stable working voltage for the communication module CM through series capacitor equalization; the communication module CM uses a wireless communication protocol to transmit data. When the communication module CM is working, it will continuously send the unique code and alarm mark of the anti-theft lead seal device to the data acquisition terminal; the break switch S2 is a normally closed switch. When the lead seal rope is inserted into the lead seal hole 6 and clamped, the break switch S2 closes. When the lead seal rope is deliberately damaged, the break switch S2 opens. The lead seal rope is a conductive line.

[0020] The implementation process of an instant alarm method and device for anti-electricity theft lead seals is as follows:

[0021] When the anti-theft lead seal device is first put into operation, press the start button 8. At this time, the lead seal rope is not connected, the break switch S2 is in the open state, and the power supply is connected to the equalizing capacitor C1, the power supply capacitor C2, and the communication module CM to achieve stable power supply to the communication module CM. The communication module CM communicates with the data acquisition terminal in the station through a wireless transmission protocol to test whether the communication function of the anti-theft lead seal device is normal. After the test is completed, insert the lead seal rope into the lead seal hole 6 and press the locking button 1. The two pressure plates 2 below the locking button 1 clamp the lead seal rope to the pressing platform 7, and the break switch S2 closes. At this time, the power supply capacitor C2 and the communication module CM are both short-circuited, and the DC power supply charges the equalizing capacitor C1 until it is fully charged. When the equalizing capacitor C1 is charged to the same potential as the DC power supply, the circuit reaches a steady state, and the DC power supply stops discharging. At this time, the anti-theft lead seal device is put into operation. When the lead seal rope is broken by external force, the break switch S2 is opened, and the equalizing capacitor C1 and the power supply capacitor C2 are recharged and discharged to realize voltage distribution. When the circuit reaches a steady state, the power supply DC provides stable power to the communication module CM through the power supply capacitor C2. The communication module CM continuously sends the unique code and alarm mark of the anti-theft lead seal device to the data acquisition terminal until the alarm is cleared.
