[0061] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0062] Aiming at the problem of low relay detection accuracy. The embodiment of the present invention provides a relay detection method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0063] 101. Connect the relay to be tested to the relay testing equipment through the matching relay base.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, the relay to be tested is a relay that needs to be tested, for example, a relay that needs to be checked in a fault control loop, or a relay that needs to be tested daily in daily inspections. The type of relay is any relay containing contacts, for example, an electromagnetic relay, a solid-state relay, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The relay detection device is a device including an internal power supply, an ohmmeter, a relay connection interface (detection interface), a power switch, a measurement switch, and a display screen. The detection interface includes a first interface connected to the coil power supply wiring position corresponding to the relay base and a second interface connected to the contact wiring position corresponding to the relay base; the first interface is electrically connected to the first output end of the internal power supply, and the control component of the power supply and power failure control module is connected in series between the first output end of the internal power supply and the first interface. That is, the first interface connected to the relay power supply end in the detection interface is connected to the first output end of the internal power supply via the control component of the power supply and power failure control module, so that the power supply and power failure control module can control the power supply on and off of the relay to be tested. The measuring contacts (test probe ends) of the ohmmeter are respectively connected to the two second interfaces to measure the resistance value when the contacts are closed. The second output terminal of the power supply is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the ohmmeter. The internal power supply provides 24V DC power to the ohmmeter while supplying power to the relay to be detected.

[0065] Before measuring the relay to be tested, connect the relay to be tested to the relay detection device through the relay base that matches it. By connecting the relay base to the relay detection device, the test point of the ohmmeter can be fixed, which is more stable than the conventional manual test pen test, thereby obtaining a more accurate measured resistance value. Since the interface positions of the contacts and power supply terminals of different relays are slightly different, by connecting the relay base that matches the relay to the detection interface of the relay detection device, the relay detection device can measure different relays through the relay base that matches different relays, thereby ensuring the scope of application of the relay detection device.

[0066] 102. The relay detection device responds to the detection start instruction to supply and disconnect power to the relay to be tested according to a preset power supply duration, a preset power off duration, and a preset number of power supplies.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, the relay detection device also includes a power supply and power off control module, which can be a control loop composed of a time delay relay and a register, or a control loop composed of a processor and a time delay relay, so as to realize the control of the internal power supply to supply power to and power off the relay to be tested according to a fixed delay. When the power switch of the relay detection device is turned on, when the operator presses the start detection switch of the relay detection device, the delay relay in the relay detection device obtains the preset power supply duration, the preset power off duration and the preset power supply times from the register or the processor, and controls the power supply to the relay to be tested according to the power supply times. The preset power supply duration, the preset power off duration and the preset power supply times can be customized according to time operation experience or on-site needs, and the embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0068] 103. In the process of supplying and disconnecting power to the relay to be tested, collect a contact resistance measurement value of the relay to be tested.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the internal power supply of the relay detection device supplies and disconnects power to the relay to be detected, and the test contact of the relay to be detected is closed or disconnected (the normally open contact is closed when power is supplied, and the normally closed contact is closed when power is disconnected). The resistance value in the closed state of the contact is measured by the ohmmeter of the relay detection device to obtain the contact resistance measurement value.

[0070] 104. Determine a detection result of the relay to be tested according to the contact resistance measurement value.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, the detection result includes an abnormal state, a normal state, and a close inspection state. The contact resistance measurement value includes the resistance value measured each time the contact is closed. According to the maximum value and the total average resistance value of multiple resistance values, the detection result of the relay to be tested can be determined. For example, if the total average resistance value of all resistance values ​​is greater than 10 ohms, or the maximum resistance value is greater than 20 ohms, it indicates that the resistance value has reached a level that can cause a short circuit, then the detection result of the relay to be tested is judged to be an abnormal state and needs to be repaired or replaced. For example, if the total average resistance value of all resistance values ​​is less than 1 ohm, or the maximum resistance value is less than 3 ohms, then the detection result of the relay to be tested is judged to be a normal state. Of course, there are also situations between the above two situations. For example, if one resistance value is 8 ohms and the other resistance values ​​are between 1 and 3 ohms, it is impossible to accurately judge the state of the relay to be tested, and it is not clear whether 8 ohms is a measurement error or a contact problem. Further retesting is required, and then the test result of the relay to be tested is determined based on the retested data and the currently measured data. If it is still not determined to be normal or abnormal based on the retested state, for example, the resistance value is large, but it has not reached the level of short circuit, it is necessary to determine that it is in a close inspection state, that is, the relay is inspected more frequently than the normal state. The relay detection device is equipped with a display screen and an indicator light. The display screen can display the measured resistance value each time during the measurement process, and display the corresponding mark of the final test result when the test is completed, for example, Usual represents normal, Unusual represents abnormal, and Check represents the close inspection state. The indicator light is used to indicate the power supply and test status. For example, after the switch power is pressed, a red power-on indicator light will be displayed to indicate; after the measurement switch is pressed, a blue circuit connection indicator light will be displayed to indicate, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0072] By using the relay detection equipment to detect the side relay, the automatic multiple measurements of the relay contact resistance are realized, avoiding the manual measurement and recording of each measurement data, greatly reducing the time for testing and judgment, and at the same time, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement, thereby effectively improving the detection efficiency of the relay.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, as Figure 2 As shown, the step of determining the detection result of the relay to be tested according to the contact resistance measurement value includes:

[0074] 201. When the contact resistance measurement value does not satisfy a preset determination condition, retest and cut off power to the relay to be detected according to the number of retest power supply times.

[0075] 202. In the process of powering on and off the relay to be tested, collect a re-measured value of the contact resistance of the relay to be tested.

[0076] 203. Determine a detection result of the relay to be tested according to the contact resistance measurement value and the contact resistance re-measurement value.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, the preset judgment condition includes an abnormal judgment condition and a normal judgment condition. When the measured contact resistance value is insufficient to obtain a detection result according to the preset judgment condition, the relay to be tested is powered on, powered off and measured again according to the number of retest power supplies to obtain more measured resistance values ​​for evaluating the detection result of the relay to be tested. Among them, the number of retest power supplies is greater than the preset number of power supplies, that is, the number of contact closures during the retest is greater than the number of contact closures during the first measurement. Since the data collected under the preset number of power supplies is not sufficient to determine the state of the relay to be tested, it indicates that the contact resistance of the relay to be tested is not very stable, so more measured resistance values ​​are required as a basis for judgment.

[0078] It should be noted that the power supply duration in the retest process uses the preset power supply duration, and the power-off duration uses the preset power-off duration. First, measure the contact resistance of the relay to be tested with the least number of measurements. If the test result can be determined, the number of tests can be greatly reduced and the test speed can be improved. If the test result cannot be determined, further retesting is performed to ensure the accuracy of the test while improving the test efficiency.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, determining the detection result of the relay to be tested according to the contact resistance measurement value and the contact resistance re-measurement value includes:

[0080] In the case that any of the contact resistance re-measured values ​​is greater than the critical resistance, determining the number of critical resistance values ​​greater than the critical resistance value in the contact resistance measurement value and the contact resistance re-measured value;

[0081] If the critical resistance value quantity is greater than or equal to a first quantity threshold, determining that the detection result is in an abnormal state;

[0082] If the critical resistance value quantity is greater than a second quantity threshold value and less than the first quantity threshold value, determining that the detection result is a close inspection state;

[0083] If the critical resistance value is less than or equal to the second quantity threshold, the detection result is determined to be in a normal state.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the contact resistance re-measurement value, the contact resistance measurement value and the contact resistance re-measurement value are compared with the critical resistance value in turn, and the resistance values ​​greater than the critical resistance value are counted to obtain the number of critical resistance values. Among them, the critical resistance value is a resistance value close to the abnormal resistance value, for example, the abnormal resistance value is 15 ohms, and the critical resistance value is 13 ohms. The first quantity threshold is a value greater than 1 / 2 of the total number of measurements, and the second quantity threshold is a value less than 1 / 10 of the total number of measurements. For example, if the total number of contact resistance measurement values ​​and contact resistance re-measurement values ​​is 30, the first quantity threshold can be 20; the second quantity threshold can be 3. If the number of critical resistance values ​​is greater than or equal to the first quantity threshold, it indicates that more than half of the measured resistances exceed the critical resistance value, and the contact reliability of the relay cannot meet the requirements, then the detection result is determined to be an abnormal state. If the number of critical resistance values ​​is between the first quantity threshold and the second quantity threshold, it indicates that the relay can continue to be used, but continuous inspection is required to ensure that problems are discovered in a timely manner, then the detection result is determined to be a close inspection state. If the critical resistance value is less than or equal to the second quantity threshold, it indicates that the value exceeding the critical value may be a measurement error, and the relay can be used normally, and the detection result is determined to be normal. It should be noted that the critical resistance value can characterize the situation where the abnormal resistance value is expected to be exceeded, and the state of the relay to be tested can be accurately determined according to the proportion of the critical resistance value in the measured resistance value.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the step of determining the detection result of the relay to be tested based on the contact resistance measurement value and the contact resistance re-measurement value further includes:

[0086] In the case that all the contact resistance re-measured values ​​are less than or equal to the critical resistance, obtaining the historical average resistance of the relay to be tested, and calculating the total average resistance of the contact resistance measurement value and the contact resistance re-measured value;

[0087] If the difference between the total average resistance and the historical average resistance is less than the average difference threshold, determining that the detection result is in a normal state;

[0088] If the difference is greater than the average difference threshold, the detection result is determined to be in a close inspection state.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present invention, due to the customer's fixed value requirements and other reasons, the contact resistance of some relays to be tested will be too large when they leave the factory, resulting in the contact resistance re-measurement value and the contact resistance measurement value being less than or equal to the critical resistance value, rather than being caused by contact oxidation. In view of this situation, the historical average resistance of the relay to be tested is obtained, and the total average resistance of all measured resistances (contact resistance measurement value and contact resistance re-measurement value) is calculated. If the difference between the historical average resistance and the total average resistance is small (less than the average difference threshold), it indicates that the contact resistance of the current relay to be tested is relatively large when it leaves the factory, and there will be no circuit breakage in the current control loop, and the detection result of this relay to be tested can be determined as a normal state. If the difference between the historical average resistance and the total average resistance is large (greater than the average difference threshold), it indicates that the large contact resistance of the current relay to be tested is caused by contact oxidation, and the detection result is determined as a close inspection state as a close inspection state. The historical average resistance may be the total average resistance of the contact resistance measured just after the relay to be tested is installed, or the total average resistance of the contact resistance within a period of installation, such as 3 months, 6 months, etc. The average difference threshold may be customized according to application requirements, such as 5 ohms, 3 ohms, etc. The specific value of the average difference threshold and the calculation method of the historical average resistance are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. By introducing the historical average resistance into the determination of the test result, the contact resistance of the relay to be tested itself can be excluded, thereby improving the accuracy of the test result.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the determining the detection result of the relay to be tested according to the contact resistance measurement value further includes:

[0091] Calculating a difference between the contact resistance measurement value and a first resistance threshold value;

[0092] In the case where the corresponding differences of all the contact resistance measurement values ​​are negative, determining that the contact resistance measurement value meets the normal determination condition, and determining the detection result as a normal state;

[0093] When the corresponding difference of any of the contact resistance measurement values ​​is positive, if the mean of the difference is less than zero and the standard deviation of the difference is less than a first standard deviation threshold, it is determined that the contact resistance measurement value meets the normal judgment condition and the detection result is determined to be in a normal state.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present invention, the normal determination condition includes the case where the corresponding differences of all the contact resistance measurement values ​​are negative, and the case where the corresponding difference of any of the contact resistance measurement values ​​is positive. When the corresponding differences of all the contact resistance measurement values ​​are negative, the relay to be tested can be directly determined to be normal. When the corresponding difference of any of the contact resistance measurement values ​​is positive, the relay to be tested can be determined to be normal only when the mean of the difference is less than zero and the standard deviation of the difference is less than the first standard deviation threshold. If the corresponding difference of all the contact resistance measurement values ​​is negative, it indicates that all the contact resistance measurement values ​​are less than the first resistance threshold, and the relay to be tested is in a normal state. When the corresponding difference of any contact resistance measurement value is not negative, that is, there is a contact resistance measurement value greater than the first resistance threshold, the average value of the difference is calculated. If the average value of the difference is less than zero, it indicates that only individual contact resistance measurement values ​​are greater than the first resistance threshold. If the standard deviation of the difference is less than the first standard deviation threshold, it indicates that the difference distribution is relatively uniform, that is, the contact resistance measurement value fluctuates little, and the relay to be tested can also be determined to be in a normal state.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the method further includes:

[0096] If the standard deviation of the difference is greater than the second standard deviation threshold, or any of the contact resistance measurements is greater than the second resistance threshold, it is determined that the contact resistance measurement meets the abnormality determination condition, and the detection result is determined as an abnormal state.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second standard deviation threshold is greater than the first standard deviation threshold. If the standard deviation of the difference between the contact resistance measurement value and the first resistance threshold is greater than the second standard deviation threshold, it indicates that the contact resistance measurement value fluctuates greatly and the performance of the relay to be tested is not reliable enough, and the detection result is determined to be an abnormal state. The second resistance threshold is a resistance value that can cause a short circuit determined based on historical experience, such as 20 ohms, 15 ohms, etc. If any contact resistance measurement value is greater than the second resistance threshold, it indicates that the contact resistance of the relay to be tested may cause a short circuit, and the detection result is determined to be an abnormal state.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, before connecting the relay to be tested to the relay detection device through a matching relay base, the method further includes:

[0099] Connecting a 0 ohm relay to the relay detection device and collecting a first verification resistance value;

[0100] Connecting a standard resistance relay to the relay detection device and collecting a second verification resistance value;

[0101] If the first verification resistance value is 0 ohms, and the second verification resistance value matches the resistance value of the standard resistance relay, then determining that the relay detection device can be used to perform the detection of the relay to be tested;

[0102] If the first verification resistance value is not equal to 0 ohms, or the second verification resistance value does not match the resistance value of the standard resistance relay, then determining that the relay detection device cannot be used to perform the detection of the relay to be tested;

[0103] In an embodiment of the present invention, a 0 ohm relay and a standard resistance relay are obtained based on the improvement of existing relays and are standard relays used to calibrate a relay detection device. During the collection process of the first verification resistance value and the second verification resistance value, the 0 ohm relay and the standard resistance relay are in a power-off state. Since the 0 ohm relay is obtained by short-circuiting the contacts on the basis of the existing relay, it does not need to be powered on and can be directly connected to the relay detection device, and the actual resistance is 0 ohms. Similarly, since the standard resistance relay is obtained by connecting a standard resistor in series between the contacts on the basis of the existing relay, when the standard resistance relay is connected to the relay detection device, it does not need to be powered on and the actual resistance is the resistance value of the standard resistor. By improving the existing relays to obtain 0 ohm relays and standard resistance relays, convenient calibration of the relay detection device can be achieved.

[0115] If the difference is greater than the average difference threshold, the detection result is determined to be in a close inspection state.

[0118] When the corresponding difference of any of the contact resistance measurement values ​​is positive, if the mean of the difference is less than zero and the standard deviation of the difference is less than a first standard deviation threshold, it is determined that the contact resistance measurement value meets the normal judgment condition and the detection result is determined to be in a normal state.
