Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of online monitoring and fault diagnosis of high-voltage electric power equipment, and in particular relates to an explosion-proof box built-in cable joint electric heating fault early warning device and method. Background Art

[0002] Relevant scientific research institutions at home and abroad have conducted a lot of research on cable joint fault monitoring and early warning. Although traditional fault diagnosis methods, such as temperature monitoring and infrared thermal imaging, can detect faults such as joint overheating to a certain extent, they have limited detection capabilities for internal faults. In addition, these methods usually need to be effectively identified after the fault occurs or develops to a certain extent, making it difficult to achieve early warning and timely intervention. In terms of high-voltage cable joint fault diagnosis, the complexity of the cable joint structure and the diversity of the operating environment make fault diagnosis more difficult. Cable joint fault diagnosis also faces difficulties in data acquisition and processing. Due to the complexity of the internal structure of the cable joint and the uncertainty of the operating environment, it is very difficult to obtain accurate and comprehensive fault data. The effectiveness of maintenance measures: Conventional maintenance measures often only focus on the inspection of the appearance and basic performance of the joint, while ignoring the in-depth assessment of the internal state and potential risks of the joint. This superficial cable fault monitoring method is difficult to detect early faults and hidden dangers inside the joint, so it is impossible to take effective measures to repair it in time, resulting in further expansion of the fault.

[0003] Prior art document 1 (CN113686461B) discloses a T-type cable joint self-powered temperature sensor, a cable joint fault detection system and method. However, its disadvantage is that it relies on a single temperature parameter to monitor the fault of the T-type cable joint, while the temperature of the cable is affected by many factors, not just defects. Changes in ambient temperature, cable load current, ventilation conditions, etc. can all cause the cable temperature to change. For example, in a high temperature environment in summer, even if the cable has no defects, its temperature may be high, which can easily lead to misjudgment. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an explosion-proof box built-in cable joint electric heating fault warning device and method. The device has a simple structure and is easy to install. It uses a low-power method to increase the life of the monitoring module and reduce the impact on the power grid itself. In addition, the temperature sensing unit and the space electric field sensing unit are built into the explosion-proof shell, which can accurately and efficiently identify cable joint faults. The present invention is suitable for the complex on-site implementation environment of the cable well. This method not only improves the efficiency of online monitoring of cable joints with explosion-proof shells, but also reduces the warning judgment error caused by subjective human judgment, which can effectively ensure the safe and stable operation of high-voltage cables.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0012] Preferably, the MCU unit is connected to the GPRS unit, and is used to read the electric field and temperature data emitted by the electric heating integrated probe module through the ADC port, perform cable connector fault judgment on the received data according to the set threshold, and send the cable connector fault judgment result to the GPRS unit.

[0013] Preferably, the GPRS unit is connected to a remote terminal and is used to transmit the cable joint fault judgment result and the electric field temperature data to the remote terminal.

[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides an explosion-proof box built-in cable joint electric heating fault early warning method, which is used to operate on the explosion-proof box built-in cable joint electric heating fault early warning device, comprising:

[0016] Use an electric heating integrated probe to collect explosion-proof shell temperature and electric field data;

[0017] The collected temperature and electric field data are transmitted to the main body of the electric heating device, and a warning threshold is set. The cable joint fault judgment result is obtained according to whether the temperature and electric field data meet the warning threshold;

[0018] The cable joint fault judgment result is sent to the remote device for early warning, realizing the electric heating fault early warning of the built-in cable joint of the explosion-proof box.

[0019] Preferably, the temperature sensing unit and the space electric field sensing unit in the integrated electric heating probe cycle between working and sleeping states, entering the working state according to the set sampling interval time to collect and send temperature and electric field data, and remaining in the sleeping state for the rest of the time.

[0033] The electric and thermal integrated probe module 3 extends into the explosion-proof box 5, and the plastic shell surface of the electric and thermal integrated probe module 3 is kept in close contact with the cable body 8. If it is far away from the cable, the signal coupling amount will be attenuated.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, 1 is a physical picture of the main body module 2 of the electric and thermal integrated device, 2 is a physical picture of the battery box module 1, and 3 is a physical picture of the electric and thermal integrated probe module 3.

[0043] The specific design of wiring includes: when designing the PCB, rationally plan the wiring of the ADC to avoid the signal line being too long or parallel to other high-frequency signal lines to reduce crosstalk between signals. At the same time, try to shorten the distance between the ADC and the signal source to reduce signal attenuation.

[0044] The specific grounding design includes that good grounding is the key to ensuring ADC performance. Make sure that the ADC ground pin is well connected to the system ground plane and avoid forming a ground loop. Single-point grounding or multi-layer grounding can be used.

[0045] The GPRS unit is connected to a remote terminal to transmit the cable joint fault judgment result and the electric field temperature data to the remote terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer.

[0046] The electric heating integrated probe module 3 is composed of a temperature sensing unit and a space electric field sensing unit, and is used to collect temperature and space electric field signals. It is encapsulated with thermal conductive silicone grease, and can be tightly attached to the surface of the middle joint on the cable body 8 with the thermal conductive silicone grease. In the present invention, since there is no external power supply, in order to enable the system of the present invention to have a life of 2-3 years and be maintenance-free during operation, the temperature sensing unit and the space electric field sensing unit in the present invention cycle between working and sleeping states, enter the working state according to the set sampling interval time, collect and send temperature and electric field data, and remain in the sleeping state for the rest of the time, that is, the working-sleeping state cycle.

The cable joint fault judgment result is sent to the remote device for warning.

[0058] Step 3: Send the cable connector fault judgment result to the remote device for early warning, so as to realize the electric heating fault early warning of the built-in cable connector of the explosion-proof box.
