Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of insulator detection, in particular to an insulator live detection device. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the safe operation of power facilities and prevent accidents, insulators need to be inspected regularly. If each insulator in the insulator string is good, there will be a certain voltage distribution on each insulator during operation. If an insulator is degraded or loses insulation, the voltage distribution value on the insulator will decrease or approach zero. When measuring, the measured voltage distribution value of each insulator is compared with the standard value. When the voltage distribution is lower than 50% of the standard value, it is considered "bad" or "zero value".

[0003] The existing detection method generally uses an insulator spark gap zero meter for measurement. When in use, the two metal ends contact the two ends of the insulator sheet, and the judgment is made based on the time and sound of the spark discharge. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN102175897B discloses an angle self-locking spark gap short-circuit fork for porcelain bottle insulator detection, which is connected to the two ends of the insulator sheet through the contact and discharges at the electrode. The discharge spark and sound of this method are greatly affected by the environment, and need to be judged by experience, and the detection result is not intuitive. For another example, the Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN206584006U discloses an insulator degradation detection device, which detects sparks by connecting between two metal contact wires through a spark detection device. The spark detection device discloses an indicator light alarm device and a sound alarm device. The patent has the following problems: when the voltage distribution of the insulator sheet is lower than 50% of the standard value, current will be generated after the two ends of the insulator sheet are short-circuited, and the indicator light alarm device and the sound alarm device will also issue a warning. Moreover, the voltage of the insulator sheet is high, and the spark detection device is easily damaged. Moreover, when there are three 35KV insulators, if one is zero, and if one of the remaining two is also zero, continued testing will inevitably short-circuit the only good insulator, causing a single-phase grounding fault. Existing testing equipment cannot avoid the occurrence of such problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to better understand the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail.

[0022] The insulator live detection device of the present invention includes an insulating rod 1, a fixed part 2, a mobile detection mechanism 3 and a controller. The fixed part 2 is located at the front end of the insulating rod 1, and the fixed part 2 is made of insulating material. The fixed part 2 includes two fixed forks 201 and a walking track 202 connecting the two fixed forks 201. The mobile detection mechanism 3 includes a walking mechanism 301, a detection end 302 and a detection circuit. The detection end 302 is rotatably set on the walking mechanism 301 through a rotating drive mechanism 303. The rotating drive mechanism 303 includes a motor and a rotating shaft connected to the motor drive, and the detection end 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The walking mechanism 301 is located on the walking track 202, and the walking mechanism 301 moves on the walking track 202 through a walking drive device. Preferably, as Figure 2 As shown, a through hole 3011 for the walking track 202 is arranged on the walking mechanism 301 of the present invention, and the through hole 3011 is a square hole matched with the walking track 202. Rollers 3012 are arranged on the four sides of the through hole 3011, wherein at least one roller is connected to a driving motor. The driving motor, the detector 8 and the motor of the rotating driving mechanism 303 are respectively connected to the controller. Two metal probes 3021 are arranged at the front end of the detection end 302, and the shell of the detection end 302 is made of insulating material.

[0023] In order to facilitate the operation of the operators, the present invention provides a movable joint 101 between the insulating rod 1 and the fixed part 2. The movable joint 101 can adopt a damping shaft or a rotating joint with a locking device. When in use, the fixed part 2 and the insulating rod 1 are first adjusted to a suitable angle.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the detection circuit includes a normal state detection circuit and a fault detection circuit connected in parallel. The normal state detection circuit includes a resistor R1, a transient suppression diode TVS1 and a green LED lamp ( Figure 4 The fault detection circuit includes a series resistor R2 and a red LED ( Figure 4In the figure, LED2 is connected in parallel to a transient suppression diode TVS2, and resistor R2 plays a role of current limiting and voltage dividing. The normal state detection circuit and the fault detection circuit share external wiring terminals e and f (equivalent to the parallel point), and the two metal probes can be electrically connected to the external wiring terminals e and f of the normal state detection circuit and the fault detection circuit respectively through the two electrical connection terminals a and b of the connecting part. The insulator sheet in operation is equivalent to capacitor C1. The working principle of the detection circuit is: the insulator sheet in normal working state has a voltage distribution. When the metal probe contacts the two metal ends of the insulator sheet 9, the insulator sheet will short-circuit and discharge, which is equivalent to a capacitor C1. The voltage and current generated by the insulator sheet are reduced by resistors R1 and R2, but it is still greater than the breakdown voltage of transient suppression diodes TVS1 and TVS2. Transient suppression diodes TVS1 and TVS2 are turned on. At this time, the normal state detection circuit is turned on, LED1 is lit, and LED2 of the fault detection circuit is short-circuited by transient suppression diode TVS2 and will not light up. When the insulator fails, the voltage is less than 50% of the normal value. At this time, resistors R1 and R2 reduce the voltage and current to a level lower than the breakdown voltage of transient suppression diodes TVS1 and TVS2. Both transient suppression diodes TVS1 and TVS2 are not conducting, the normal state detection circuit is not conducting, the current flows through the fault detection circuit, and LED2 is lit.

[0025] When measuring 35KV insulators with 3 pieces, in order to prevent one piece of the insulator from having a zero value and one piece of the remaining 2 pieces from having a zero value, the only good insulator will be short-circuited if the detection continues, causing a single-phase grounding fault, the present invention further designs a third detection circuit. Figure 4 As shown, the third detection circuit includes a resistor R3 connected in series, a yellow LED lamp ( Figure 4 In the figure, there is LED3) and capacitor C2, and resistor R3 plays the role of current limiting and voltage dividing. Capacitor C2 prevents grounding and lights up LED3 when charging. The two connection terminals c and d of the third detection circuit can be electrically connected to the two metal probes through the two electrical connection terminals a and b of the connecting part. When the third detection circuit is needed, the two connection terminals c and d are electrically connected to the two metal probes through the electrical connection terminals a and b respectively. After the two metal probes contact the two metal ends of the insulator sheet, the insulator sheet charges the capacitor C2. At this time, current is generated, and LED3 will be lit. The quality of the insulator sheet is judged according to the brightness of LED3. The green LED light, the red LED light and the yellow LED light are collectively referred to as indicator lights 11.

[0026] In order to realize automatic switching of detection methods, such as Figure 3As shown, the present invention is designed as follows: the connecting part includes a movable rod 401 and a movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism. The movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism preferably adopts a screw mechanism, which includes a screw rod 403 and a motor 404. The screw rod 403 is made of insulating material. The movable rod 401 is an insulating rod, and the two ends of the movable rod 401 are provided with conductive plates 402 (i.e., Figure 4 Points a and b in the figure), further, conductive springs 405 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the conductive plate 402. The middle of the movable rod 401 is arranged on the screw rod 403 through a nut, and the end of the screw rod 403 is connected to the motor 404. A first electrical connection terminal 5 (i.e. Figure 4 The third detection circuit is provided with two second electrical connection terminals 6 (i.e. Figure 4 c and d in the figure). The first electrical connection terminal 5 and the second electrical connection terminal 6 both include a metal vertical plate and a terminal. Taking the first electrical connection terminal 5 as an example, the metal vertical plate 501 is L-shaped, the bottom of the metal vertical plate 501 is fixed by screws, and the terminal 502 includes a screw nut. The movable rod 401 is located between the first electrical connection terminal 5 and the second electrical connection terminal 6. When the movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism pushes the movable rod 401 to reciprocate, the conductive plate 402 is electrically connected to the first electrical connection terminal 5 or the second electrical connection terminal 6.

[0027] The principle of the third detection circuit is to use the flow of electric charge generated in the circuit when the capacitor C2 is charged to light up the yellow LED lamp. When the third detection circuit is used for the second time, the capacitor C2 needs to be discharged. Therefore, the present invention designs a discharge structure. Specifically, the discharge structure includes a short-circuit rod 7, and the short-circuit rod 7 is made of a metal conductive material. The short-circuit rod 7 is connected to the movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism, that is, the middle of the short-circuit rod 7 is arranged on the screw rod 403 through a nut. A swing arm 701 is respectively hingedly arranged at both ends of the short-circuit rod 7, and the movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism drives the short-circuit rod 7 to reciprocate. The swing arm 701 contacts the second electrical connection end 6 and then bends and crosses the second electrical connection end 6. In this process, when the swing arm 701 contacts the second electrical connection end 6, the capacitor C2 of the third detection circuit is short-circuited and discharged. In order to stabilize the movable rod 401 and the short-circuit rod 7, a slide rail 10 is arranged below the screw rod 403, and a projection that cooperates with the slide groove on the slide rail 10 is arranged at the middle bottom of the movable rod 401 and the short-circuit rod 7.

[0028] In order to realize that the mobile detection mechanism 3 automatically moves to the position of the next insulator piece 9 to be detected, the present invention is provided with a detector 8 facing the insulator direction on the walking mechanism 301. When the detector 8 detects that the walking mechanism 301 moves to the position of the next insulator piece, the walking mechanism 301 stops moving, the rotary drive mechanism 303 drives the detection end 302 to fall, and the metal probe 3021 contacts the two ends of the insulator piece 9. Preferably, the detector 8 is a rangefinder, and the rangefinder determines whether the walking mechanism 301 moves to the position of the next insulator piece by: the rangefinder moves to the edge position of the insulator piece 9, at which time the measured distance is the shortest. When the distance measured by the rangefinder starts to increase from the shortest, it is considered that the walking mechanism 301 is located at the position of the insulator piece 9 to be detected, and the controller controls the walking mechanism 301 to stop moving.

[0029] When measuring an insulator string with more insulator pieces, the maximum and minimum values ​​of the voltage distribution of the insulators differ greatly. In order to ensure the normal operation of the normal state detection circuit and the fault detection circuit, the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 of the present invention are both adjustable resistors. The adjustable resistor is an electrically adjustable adjustable resistor, which is driven by a servo motor, and the servo motor is connected to the controller for control.

[0030] In order to facilitate operation, the present invention designs a remote controller, which is provided with operation buttons such as a resistance adjustment button, a third detection circuit switching button, a normal detection button, a capacitor discharge button of the third detection circuit, and a start detection button, and the controller is connected to the remote controller for communication. The resistance adjustment button can be used to increase or decrease the resistance R1 and the resistance R2. Each time the adjustment button is pressed, the resistance value increases or decreases by a set value, such as 2KΩ; one resistance adjustment button can be set to adjust the resistance R1 and the resistance R2 synchronously, or two resistance adjustment buttons can be set to adjust the resistance R1 and the resistance R2 separately. When the third detection circuit switching button is pressed, the movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism drives the movable rod 401 to electrically connect the conductive plate 402 to the second electrical connection terminal 6. When the normal detection button is pressed, the movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism drives the movable rod 401 to electrically connect the conductive plate 402 to the first electrical connection terminal 5. By pressing the capacitor discharge button of the third detection circuit, the movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism drives the movable rod 401 to move backward, so that the swing arm 701 is in electrical contact with the second electrical connection terminal 6. After waiting for a set time (such as 2 seconds), the movable rod reciprocating drive mechanism drives the movable rod 401 to move forward, so that the conductive plate 402 is electrically connected to the second electrical connection terminal 6. When the start detection button is pressed, the controller controls the walking mechanism 301 to move. When the detector 8 detects that the walking mechanism 301 is located at the position of the insulator piece 9 to be detected, the walking mechanism 301 stops moving, and the detection end 302 rotates toward the insulator piece under the drive of the rotation drive mechanism 303. After the metal probe 3021 contacts the two metal ends of the insulator piece 9 for a set time (such as 1 second), the rotation drive mechanism 303 drives the detection end 302 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the detection end 302 moves away from the insulator piece 9. Then the walking mechanism 301 automatically moves to the position of the next insulator piece to be detected, and the above steps are repeated to complete a series of insulator detections. Of course, the present invention can also change the detection of each insulator piece to be manually triggered, that is, a trigger button is set on the remote control, and the walking mechanism 301 moves to the position of the next insulator piece to be detected after the trigger button is pressed once to start detection.
