Description

Technical Field

[0002] During the transportation of the main transformer in the station, the main transformer will be subjected to various vibrations and shocks, which may cause damage to the insulation, coils, cores and other key components of the main transformer, affecting the safe operation of the main transformer. In order to monitor the vibration of the main transformer in real time during transportation, a high-precision and high-reliability vibration monitoring data acquisition device is required. However, the transportation environment in the main transformer station is harsh, with strong electromagnetic interference, high and low temperature alternation, etc., which puts high demands on the anti-interference ability and environmental adaptability of the vibration monitoring data acquisition device.

[0030] In order to ensure that the basic functions and performance requirements of the IEPE signal data acquisition card used for in-station transportation of the main transformer substation are met, and at the same time, it can be promoted in a low-cost manner, an IEPE signal data acquisition card for in-station transportation vibration monitoring of the main transformer and a hardware design scheme for the main transformer vibration monitor are proposed. The patent application of the present invention takes the hardware design of the IEPE signal data acquisition card as the starting point. By using domestic FPGA chips and other components, it can not only effectively meet the relevant requirements of the vibration monitoring scenario during the in-station transportation of the main transformer; it can also provide low-cost and high-availability solutions for users of related equipment, while improving the degree of autonomy and controllability of related hardware, reducing the cost of signal acquisition, and providing the possibility for large-scale deployment of related technologies. In order to better understand the present invention, the contents of the present invention are further explained below in conjunction with the drawings and examples in the specification.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the patent application of the present invention discloses an IEPE signal data acquisition card for transport vibration monitoring in a main transformer station, including an IEPE sensor unit, a signal conditioning circuit, a data acquisition circuit and a communication interface module connected in sequence; the acquisition card also includes a power module connected to the FPGA main control circuit, the communication interface module, the constant current source module and the filter circuit. The acquisition card provided by the patent of the present invention can conveniently connect the collected data to the data acquisition system chassis through a dedicated interface, and has the advantages of small size and convenient data transmission.

[0033] The design of the IEPE signal data acquisition card for transport vibration monitoring in the main transformer station in this application mainly includes sensor selection and the design and implementation of several parts such as signal conditioning circuit, data acquisition circuit, and communication interface module.

[0034] 1. Sensor selection.

[0035] By comparing the commonly used vibration monitoring sensors on the market, this application selects a solution of two acceleration sensors, one main and one backup, namely, an independent capacitive acceleration sensor (AKE390B-02, which can measure the horizontal X and Y directions and the vertical direction, and the sensor's measurement frequency range is 0.1-500Hz) and a chip-type three-axis accelerometer (ADXL354, which can measure the horizontal X and Y directions and the vertical direction). This design has the following advantages:

[0036] (1) This type of sensor is easy to use, flexible, and particularly suitable for field testing and online monitoring;

[0037] (2) High accuracy;

[0038] (3) High reliability. Since two sets of acceleration sensors are used, one active and one standby, the acceleration measurement data can be mutually verified. In addition, when one set of sensors fails to work or works abnormally, the measurement data of the other set of sensors can still be used to provide real-time signals of the vibration of the entire transport.

[0039] 2. Signal conditioning circuit.

[0040] The signal conditioning circuit of the system provides the excitation source for the sensor and pre-processes the sensor signal. Its performance directly determines the overall measurement accuracy and system reliability of the data acquisition system. The sensor signal conditioning circuit designed in this application has high reliability and general performance. It is mainly composed of a constant current source module, an IEPE interface circuit and a filter circuit;

[0041] The signal filtering circuit in the application includes an AC coupling circuit, an operational amplifier circuit, a low-pass filtering circuit and a voltage follower circuit connected in sequence (see the principle block diagram of the conditioning circuit for details). Figure 2 ).

[0042] (1) AC coupling and operational amplifier circuits, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown;

[0043] (2) Schematic diagram of low-pass filter circuit. The signal conditioning circuit needs to suppress noise and interference within a certain frequency range, and use a suitable low-pass filter to perform anti-aliasing filtering on the signal, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the circuit. This application uses a second-order Butterworth filter with stable performance and easy gain adjustment.

[0044] A low-pass filter is a filter that allows low-frequency signals below the set cutoff frequency to pass through but filters out signals that exceed the cutoff frequency. In order to make the filter characteristics closer to the ideal state, a second-order low-pass filter is usually used. Finally, the designed filter circuit is determined to be a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter circuit;

[0045] (3) Schematic diagram of voltage follower circuit. The voltage follower has high input impedance and low output impedance, which is equivalent to an open circuit for the previous stage circuit. Its output voltage is not affected by the impedance of the next stage circuit, so that the previous and next stage circuits do not affect each other, and can play the role of buffering, isolation, and improving load carrying capacity.

[0046] 3. Data acquisition circuit.

[0047] The IEPE signal data acquisition card of this application uses GD25Q127C as the data storage chip and PGL25G programmable logic device as the FPGA main control circuit (a new low-power, low-cost FPGA product launched by Shenzhen Ziguang Tongchuang Electronics Co., Ltd.). See the schematic diagram of the FPGA main control circuit design for details.

[0079] 5. IEPE data acquisition refers to the acquisition of signals from an accelerometer (IEPE sensor) with a built-in charge amplifier or voltage amplifier. The IEPE sensor is a special sensor that integrates a piezoelectric sensor with a charge amplifier or voltage amplifier, and has excellent noise resistance and easy packaging. The acquisition card usually has a built-in constant current source and DC isolation circuit, which can directly drive the IEPE sensor and analyze and process the collected data.

[0080] IEPE data acquisition is widely used in acceleration detection, vibration detection, sound detection and other fields, such as bridge vibration monitoring, skyscraper vibration measurement, rail transit vibration detection, crane 3-axis vibration measurement, gantry crane monitoring, port lifting machinery, motor vibration, microphone audio measurement, wind power equipment vibration monitoring system, etc. When selecting IEPE data acquisition equipment, it is necessary to consider parameters such as the number of channels, sampling rate, accuracy, input range, etc. to meet specific application requirements. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the compatibility of the equipment to ensure that the selected equipment is compatible with the IEPE sensor used.
