Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage electrical appliance accessories, and in particular to a temperature measurement module and system for plum blossom contacts of a trolley circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] Armored switchgear is widely used in 35kV-10kV power distribution and control in substations due to its good mechanical strength and insulation performance. In recent years, switchgear with large rated current on the incoming line side has frequently failed, mostly due to poor contact of plum blossom contacts, which causes contact heating and then evolves into discharge failure. In severe cases, it can cause explosions and fires and other accidents that affect the safe and stable operation of the power system. However, since the armored switchgear is a closed device, traditional infrared temperature measurement and live detection methods are difficult to effectively monitor the operating status of the internal contacts, and the low manual efficiency makes it impossible to achieve real-time online monitoring. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize real-time monitoring of the heating of the plum blossom contacts of the armored switchgear.

[0003] In the prior art, patent document CN2018108441725 discloses a wireless temperature sensor for a circuit breaker, which adopts the same installation method as the plum blossom contact finger and is plugged into the plum blossom frame along the circumferential direction, so that the wireless temperature sensor becomes a part of the circuit breaker contact, which is firmly fixed and not easy to fall off. The wireless temperature sensor is directly placed on the hot spot of the high-voltage switch cabinet circuit breaker, that is, on the circuit breaker contact. Its measurement point is the direct heat source, with accurate temperature measurement and fast response speed, thus realizing real-time monitoring of the temperature of the hot spot of the high-voltage switch cabinet.

[0004] However, the modification of the contact finger itself by the above-mentioned prior art will affect the clamping force of the plum blossom contact, the overall large current flow capacity, and the distribution of the internal high-voltage electric field. After the plum blossom contact finger is pulled out of four pieces and modified into two pieces, the main body of the plum blossom contact finger is a temperature measurement module, which basically has no flow function. Moreover, the temperature measurement module is inside the plum blossom contact, which makes it more difficult to repair and replace later. In addition, it is more affected by the high-voltage electric field, and the possibility of data packet loss is greater. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a temperature measurement device that is equipotential with the plum blossom contact, minimizes the impact of the high-voltage electric field, does not affect the clamping force of the contact finger itself, the flow capacity of the plum blossom contact, and ensures the safety of its operation. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a temperature measurement module and system for plum blossom contacts of a trolley circuit breaker to solve the above problems.

[0006] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A temperature measuring module for a plum blossom contact of a trolley circuit breaker comprises a temperature measuring component and a plum blossom contact, wherein the temperature measuring component comprises a ceramic shell, a temperature measuring chip, and a metal bracket, wherein the rear end of a contact finger of the plum blossom contact is lengthened, the lengthened part of the contact finger is used to fix the temperature measuring component, and the contact finger of the plum blossom contact is customized in design; the temperature measuring chip is fixed on the metal bracket, the metal bracket is provided with an elongated conductive part, and the elongated conductive part is structurally connected to the lengthened part of the contact finger; the temperature measuring chip and the metal bracket are wrapped by a ceramic shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the customized design of the contact finger is to adjust the extended part of the contact finger according to the specifications of the plum blossom contact and the distance between the plum blossom contact and the conductive arm of the trolley circuit breaker, and the extended part of the contact finger can be widened according to the customized design of the contact finger; a through hole is provided in the extended part of the contact finger, and a threaded hole is provided in the extended conductive part of the bracket, which is used in conjunction with the through hole of the extended part of the contact finger.

[0009] Furthermore, the temperature measuring chip, the metal bracket and the ceramic shell are manufactured by an integrated process.

[0010] The present invention also discloses a temperature measurement system for plum blossom contacts of a trolley circuit breaker, comprising a sensor layer, a receiving layer and a user layer; the sensor layer is applied to the aforementioned temperature measurement module for plum blossom contacts of a trolley circuit breaker, wherein the temperature measurement chip is a wireless temperature measurement sensor, the wireless temperature measurement sensor of the sensor layer measures the temperature of the measured point, and sends the temperature data to the receiving layer wirelessly; the receiving layer receives data from the sensor layer, processes and analyzes the data, and uploads the processed and analyzed data to the user layer; the user layer receives the data from the receiving layer to realize remote access, viewing and exporting of data.

[0011] Furthermore, the wireless method is radio frequency identification technology; the receiving layer uploads to the user layer through the RS485 interface in the form of Modbus-RTU standard protocol, the IEC61850 protocol converter of the user layer can convert the Modbus-RTU protocol into the 61850 standard protocol, and the receiving layer can also transmit data to the user layer in the form of network cable or optical fiber.

[0012] Furthermore, the user layer performs real-time analysis on the online temperature data, and the user layer can also implement alarm and pre-alarm functions.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. The temperature measuring chip and metal bracket of the present invention are designed by adopting the ceramic shell integration process, using the ceramic substrate as the outer package, and the extended conductive part is reserved in the bracket for structural connection with the extended part of the contact finger. Under the condition of ensuring that the temperature measuring module has the minimum influence on the high-voltage electric field, the metal bracket extends to the inside of the ceramic temperature measuring module to make the temperature conduction more accurate. At the same time, the ceramic substrate has an insulating effect to avoid gap discharge in the traditional temperature measuring module; the maintenance and replacement of the ceramic temperature measuring module are more convenient and only the circuit breaker needs to be pulled out during installation, which avoids bus power outage, reduces load loss and personnel workload, reduces installation costs and improves personnel safety.

[0015] 2. The temperature sensor of the present invention should adopt wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, use the reader to continuously emit radio wave energy of a specific frequency, and then send back ID, temperature, calibration and other data with the energy obtained by the induced current to complete temperature monitoring. The installation position of the temperature measurement module avoids the strong electric field interference inside the plum blossom contact and the static contact of the switch cabinet, and avoids the influence of data packet loss on the temperature measurement system.

[0016] 3. The user layer of the present invention performs real-time analysis on online temperature data, and can monitor and alarm the real-time temperature, which not only enables the operation and maintenance personnel to grasp the operation status of the switch cabinet in real time, but also realizes temperature prediction through the above data to assist the operation and maintenance personnel to judge the operation status of the switch cabinet in advance and ensure the safe operation of the equipment and the power grid.
