Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intermediate relay verification, and in particular to an intermediate relay verification device. Background Art

[0002] The intermediate relay is a very common automatic electrical appliance in the power industry. It can disconnect AC and DC small-capacity control circuits and provide control, protection and signal conversion functions for them. It is an indispensable appliance in many devices. The principle and structure of the intermediate relay are basically the same as those of the AC contactor. The difference is that the contacts of the intermediate relay can only pass small currents. Therefore, the intermediate relay can only be used in control circuits. Due to the small overload capacity of the intermediate relay, the intermediate relay generally does not have main contacts. Instead, the auxiliary contacts are controlled by the power on or off of its coil to meet the needs of the control circuit. A large number of intermediate relay auxiliary contacts are used in field operations. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the conductivity of the auxiliary contacts of the intermediate relay to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0003] Intermediate relays are widely used in nuclear power plants. Usually, all intermediate relays in low-voltage power distribution equipment are calibrated regularly during overhaul. However, there are many intermediate relays, and a single calibration requires repeated disconnection and wiring. It takes a total of 4 days to complete the calibration of all intermediate relays. Due to the tight power outage window of low-voltage power distribution equipment and the difficulty of maintenance, the long time spent on calibrating intermediate relays will seriously affect the maintenance efficiency of the overhaul low-voltage power distribution equipment and restrict the progress of the overhaul and maintenance work of nuclear power plants.

[0022] The number of bases 7 is adjusted according to the on-site operation space and the number of intermediate relays to be checked. In this embodiment, as one of the achievable methods, the number of bases 7 is 5; the intermediate relay checking device is 33.2 cm long, 10.2 cm wide, and weighs 821 g.

[0023] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, as one of the feasible ways, the intermediate relay includes a shell 12, a fixed iron core 13, a spring 14, a connecting wire 15, two armatures 16, a copper sheet contact 17 and a coil 18 inside the shell 12, and a coil contact 19, a common contact 20, a normally open contact 21 and a normally closed contact 22 outside the shell 12; the coil contact 19 is connected to the coil 18, and the coil 18 is wound around the fixed iron core 13; the armature 16 is installed on the right side of the fixed iron core 13, and is separated by the spring 14 installed on the fixed iron core 13; the common contact 20 is connected to the normally open contact 21 or the normally closed contact 22 through the connecting wire 15 and the copper sheet contact 17.

[0024] In this embodiment, as one of the feasible ways, the normally closed jack 8 and the normally closed contact 22 , the normally open jack 9 and the normally open contact 21 , the common jack 10 and the common contact 20 , and the coil jack 11 and the coil contact 19 are all connected and conducted via the connecting wire 15 .

[0025] In this embodiment, as one of the feasible ways, the intermediate relay verification device is made of conventional aluminum-zinc coated or equivalent strength plates and insulating materials, which has a low cost and saves money.

[0026] Working principle of the intermediate relay verification device: After the normally closed jack 8 and the normally closed contact 22, the normally open jack 9 and the normally open contact 21, the common jack 10 and the common contact 20, and the coil jack 11 and the coil contact 19 are all connected and conducted through the connecting wire 15, use a multimeter to measure, connect the red test lead to the flip measurement common point 4, and the black test lead to the second flip measurement point 6, confirm that the circuit is conducted, indicating that the connection between the normally closed jack 8 and the normally closed contact 22 is correct; then connect the black test lead to the first flip measurement point 5, confirm that the circuit is disconnected, indicating that the connection between the normally open jack 9 and the normally open contact 21 is correct;

[0027] After confirming that the connection between the normally closed jack 8 and the normally closed contact 22 and the connection between the normally open jack 9 and the normally open contact 21 are correct, measure the direct resistance of the normally closed contact 22;

[0028] If the direct resistance of the normally closed contact 22 is greater than the set value, a small current is passed through the normally closed contact 22 to remove the oxide layer of the normally closed contact 22;

[0029] At this time, the external power supply is connected through the coil negative input terminal 2 and the coil positive input terminal 3, and the external power supply enters the coil jack 11 of the base 7 through the coil positive input terminal 3, and then flows into the coil 18 through the coil contact 19 connected to the base 7, flows back to the base 7 from the coil contact 19 after surrounding the fixed iron core 13, and finally flows out from the coil negative input terminal 2 to form a current loop;

[0030] In this current loop, the fixed iron core 13 generates electromagnetic force after the winding coil 18 is energized, and the armature 16 is attracted, so the copper contact 17 leaves the normally closed contact 22 and closes with the normally open contact 21, causing the intermediate relay contact to flip. At this time, the red test lead of the multimeter is connected to the flip measurement common point 4, and the black test lead is connected to the first flip measurement point 5 to confirm that the circuit is conductive, indicating that the normally open contact 21 of the intermediate relay is attracted after power is turned on; then the black test lead is connected to the second flip measurement point 6 to confirm that the circuit is disconnected, indicating that the normally closed contact 22 of the intermediate relay is disconnected after power is turned on.

[0031] The direct resistance of the normally open contact 21 is measured; if the direct resistance of the normally open contact 21 is greater than the set value, a small current is passed through the normally open contact 21 to remove the oxide layer of the normally open contact 21.

[0032] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
