[0027] In the embodiment of the present invention, the relay is a current-start relay. Specifically, the current-start relay refers to a relay that relies on current changes to start or maintain action. Its working principle is: when current passes through the coil of the relay, the electromagnetic force generated causes the contacts of the relay to close or open.

[0028] Figure 1 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of a relay characteristic test device. This embodiment is applicable to testing relay characteristics. Figure 1As shown, the device includes: a power module 110, a current output module 120, a voltage and resistance acquisition module 130 and a control module 140; the power module 110 is connected to the control module 140 to provide power; the current output module 120 is connected to the power module 110 and the control module 140 respectively, and is used to output a direct current to the coil of the relay; the voltage and resistance acquisition module 130 is connected to the control module 140, and is used to collect the voltage value at both ends of the coil of the relay and the resistance value at both ends of the normally open contact of the relay; the control module 140 is used to control the current output module 120 to output a direct current, compare the voltage value at both ends of the relay coil with the preset voltage value, compare the resistance value of the normally open contact of the relay with the preset resistance value, compare the output direct current value with the preset direct current value, and generate a test result according to the voltage comparison result, the resistance comparison result and the current comparison result.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the DC current output by the current output module 120 enters the coil of the relay to energize the coil of the relay and the relay operates. The coil of the relay refers to a component in the relay used to generate electromagnetic force to control the state of the relay contact. When the DC current output by the current output module 120 passes through the coil, the electromagnetic field generated magnetizes the iron core of the relay, thereby closing or releasing the contact to realize the switch of the circuit.

[0031] The voltage and resistance acquisition module 130 refers to an electrical component used to collect and record the values ​​of voltage and resistance in the circuit. In the embodiment of the present invention, the functions of the voltage and resistance acquisition module 130 are: real-time monitoring and collecting the voltage value at both ends of the relay coil to output to the control module 140 to evaluate the working state and performance of the coil; measuring the resistance value at both ends of the normally open contact of the relay to determine the opening and closing state and health of the normally open contact. The normally open contact of the relay refers to a type of contact in the relay. When the relay is not powered or not in operation, the normally open contact remains in an open state and does not conduct current; when the relay is powered or in operation, the normally open contact closes to conduct the circuit. In the embodiment of the present invention, the resistance value at both ends of the normally open contact of the relay is judged to determine whether the normally open contact is closed. For example, if the resistance value at both ends of the normally open contact is less than the preset resistance value, the normally open contact is closed.

[0032] The control module 140 refers to a component used in the relay characteristic test device to manage and coordinate the entire test process. It can control the current output module 120 to provide the required DC current to the relay coil according to the set test parameters and conditions to ensure the accuracy of the test; at the same time, it can also receive the measurement data collected by the voltage and resistance acquisition module 130, and analyze and process these data to generate the test results of the relay characteristics.

The current comparison result refers to the comparison result obtained by comparing the output DC current value with the preset DC current value, which is used to indicate whether the current flowing through the coil of the relay is within the allowable range. The test result refers to the overall test conclusion obtained by combining the voltage comparison result, resistance comparison result and current comparison result, which is used to determine whether the characteristics of the relay meet the standards.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, the power module 110 provides electric energy for the test device. Under the action of the control module 140, the current output module 120 outputs a direct current to the coil of the relay so that the coil of the relay can be activated. The voltage and resistance acquisition module 130 respectively acquires the voltage at both ends of the relay coil and the resistance at both ends of the normally open contact of the relay. The control module 140 determines whether the characteristics of the relay meet expectations by analyzing the magnitude of the direct current output by the current output module 120 and the magnitude of the voltage and resistance acquired by the voltage and resistance acquisition module 130, and outputs the test result.

[0036] The embodiment of the present invention outputs current to the coil of the relay through the current output module, so that the relay can be powered on, and then the voltage at both ends of the relay coil and the resistance at both ends of the normally open contact are collected through the voltage and resistance acquisition module respectively, so as to judge whether the coil and the normally open contact of the relay are working in the expected working state.

[0051] Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a relay characteristic test method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to test whether the characteristics of the relay meet the standards. This method can be applied to the relay characteristic test device provided by any embodiment of the present invention. The test device can be configured in the monitoring center of the power system, relay test bench, automated test equipment or mobile test tool. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0052] S210, setting a preset DC current value, a preset voltage value, and a preset resistance value.

[0053] Specifically, the user can set the preset DC current value, preset voltage value and preset resistance value according to the test requirements, so that the test device can adapt to a variety of application scenarios and increase the flexibility of the test device. For example, the preset voltage value can be 5% of the rated voltage of the coil, and the preset resistance value can be 1 ohm.

[0054] S220, output DC current to the relay coil.

[0055] Specifically, when the relay coil receives a sufficiently large direct current, an electromagnetic field can be generated, thereby activating the relay coil.

[0056] S230, collecting the voltage value across the coil and the resistance value across the normally open contacts of the relay.

[0057] Specifically, the voltage value across the coil can reflect the working state of the relay coil and the current flow. If the voltage value is within the predetermined range, it indicates that the coil is working properly and the electromagnetic field generated is sufficient to activate the relay; if the voltage value is lower than the set value, it may indicate insufficient power supply, coil failure or poor connection. The resistance value across the normally open contacts of the relay can reflect the conduction state of the contacts. A lower resistance value indicates that the contacts are closed normally and can effectively transfer the load current; while a higher resistance value may indicate poor contact or a fault in the contacts.

[0058] S240, comparing the voltage value with the preset voltage value, comparing the resistance value with the preset resistance value, comparing the output DC current value with the preset DC current value, and generating a test result according to the voltage comparison result, the resistance comparison result and the current comparison result.

[0059] Specifically, by comprehensively analyzing the voltage comparison results, resistance comparison results and current comparison results, the relay characteristic test device can determine whether the relay can work normally, and then generate test results, providing a basis for subsequent fault analysis and maintenance decisions, thereby effectively improving the working stability and safety of the relay.

[0060] S250: Output and store the test results.

[0061] Specifically, the test results will be displayed in real time on the display module so that the operator can grasp the test status of the relay in real time. Storing the test results can ensure the long-term availability and traceability of the data, providing a basis for subsequent analysis and decision-making.

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention outputs a direct current to the relay coil to activate it and generate an electromagnetic field, and then collects the voltage at both ends of the coil and the resistance value at both ends of the normally open contact of the relay, and analyzes whether the relay is working normally by comparing the output direct current value, voltage value and resistance value with the preset direct current value, preset voltage value and preset resistance value. The present invention can improve the accuracy and reliability of the relay characteristic test device, provide a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the power system; at the same time, it can also reduce the investment of human resources and save labor costs.

[0063] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, outputting a direct current to the relay coil includes: gradually increasing the output direct current acting on the relay coil according to a preset step size.

[0064] Specifically, the preset step size refers to the current value increased each time when the output DC current acting on the relay coil is gradually increased. The selection of the preset step size can be adjusted according to the rated current and characteristics of the relay to ensure that the current increase process is smooth and safe.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, when testing the relay characteristics, the DC current output to the relay coil does not reach the preset value at one time, but gradually increases in a certain step size. By gradually increasing the current according to the preset step size, the current value of each stage can be accurately controlled, making the test more detailed and controllable, which helps to observe the performance changes of the relay under different current conditions, and further improves the accuracy and reliability of the relay characteristic test.

[0066] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the voltage value is compared with a preset voltage value, the resistance value is compared with a preset resistance value, and the output DC current value is compared with a preset DC current value. The test results generated according to the voltage comparison results, the resistance comparison results and the current comparison results include: if the detected voltage value is equal to 0, the test result is: the relay action circuit is abnormal.

[0067] Specifically, when the voltage value at both ends of the coil is 0, it indicates that the relay coil does not receive any voltage. The action circuit of the relay relies on an appropriate voltage to activate the electromagnetic coil. If the voltage is 0, it means that the relay cannot work normally and cannot switch the contacts, that is, the relay action circuit is abnormal. In an embodiment of the present invention, the reason why the coil voltage is 0 may be due to a power failure, a poor connection, or a failure of the coil itself. It can be further determined whether the power supply connected to the relay is working normally, whether the connecting wire is loose or broken, whether the coil is short-circuited or open-circuited, etc.

[0068] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the voltage value is compared with a preset voltage value, the resistance value is compared with a preset resistance value, and the output DC current value is compared with a preset DC current value. The test results generated according to the voltage comparison result, the resistance comparison result and the current comparison result include: outputting DC current to the relay within a preset time, and if the detected resistance value is greater than the preset resistance value, the test result is: the relay cannot operate correctly.

[0069] Specifically, if the resistance value detected by the test device is greater than the preset resistance value, it indicates that the normally open contact of the relay fails to achieve effective connection in the expected on state, that is, the relay cannot operate correctly. Exemplarily, the preset time can be set to 60s, and the preset resistance value can be set to 1 ohm. In the embodiment of the present invention, after reaching the conclusion that "the relay cannot operate correctly", it can be further confirmed whether the normally open contact of the relay is clean and not damaged.

[0070] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the voltage value is compared with the preset voltage value, the resistance value is compared with the preset resistance value, and the output DC current value is compared with the preset DC current value. The test results generated according to the voltage comparison result, the resistance comparison result and the current comparison result include: if the output DC current value is greater than the preset DC current value, the test result is: the action current is unqualified.

[0071] Specifically, the detected output DC current value exceeds the preset DC current value, indicating that the current required by the relay when activated exceeds its design specification, that is, the operating current is unqualified.

[0072] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the voltage value is compared with a preset voltage value, the resistance value is compared with a preset resistance value, and the output DC current value is compared with a preset DC current value. The test results generated according to the voltage comparison result, the resistance comparison result and the current comparison result include: if the voltage value is greater than the preset voltage value, the test result is: the coil voltage drop is unqualified.

[0073] Specifically, if the detected voltage value is greater than the preset voltage value, it means that the voltage drop of the relay coil during operation exceeds the design standard, that is, the coil voltage drop is unqualified. Unqualified coil voltage drop may cause the relay to be unable to obtain sufficient electromagnetic force to activate the contacts, thereby affecting its switching function, and may cause the relay to fail to operate normally or react slowly.

[0074] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the voltage value is compared with a preset voltage value, the resistance value is compared with a preset resistance value, and the output DC current value is compared with a preset DC current value. The test results generated according to the voltage comparison result, the resistance comparison result and the current comparison result include: if the output DC current value is less than or equal to the preset DC current value and the voltage value is less than or equal to the preset voltage value, the test result is: the relay action characteristics are qualified.

[0075] Specifically, the detected output DC current value and voltage value are both within the preset range, indicating that the relay meets the design and performance requirements during the activation process and can operate normally under specified conditions, that is, the relay action characteristics are qualified.

[0076] Figure 6 Flow chart of another relay characteristic test method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the steps of the method are:

[0077] Start the test, then disconnect the control power air switch connected to the relay to be tested, and use the voltage range of the multimeter to measure and confirm that there is no voltage to ensure the safety and accuracy of the test. Set the preset DC current value, preset voltage value and preset resistance value; the positive current terminal and negative current terminal of the test device are respectively connected to the two ends of the relay coil to output DC current; the positive voltage terminal and negative voltage terminal are respectively connected to the two ends of the current relay coil to measure the DC voltage; the positive resistance terminal and negative resistance terminal are respectively connected to the normally open contact of the current relay to measure its resistance. Then, according to the preset step size, gradually increase the output DC current acting on the relay coil. First, determine whether there is voltage at both ends of the coil. If not, that is, the voltage at both ends of the coil is equal to 0, and the output is: the relay action circuit is abnormal. If so, further determine that within 60s of the output current, the resistance at both ends of the normally open contact is less than or equal to 1Ω. If not, output: the relay cannot operate correctly. If so, pause the output and record the output DC current value and voltage value at this time, and then determine whether the recorded output DC current value is less than or equal to the preset DC current value. If not, output: the action current is unqualified. If so, determine whether the voltage value is less than or equal to the preset voltage value. If not, output: the coil voltage drop is unqualified.
