Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas density detection, and in particular to a high-precision handheld SF6 gas density detection device and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] In the electric power industry, SF6 gas has become an indispensable key insulating gas in high-voltage electrical equipment due to its excellent insulation performance and arc extinguishing ability. It is widely used in core electrical equipment such as circuit breakers, transformers and gas insulated switches. The density state of SF6 gas is closely related to its electrical performance and the operating safety of the equipment. Traditionally, the monitoring of SF6 gas density mainly relies on density relays or transmitters installed on electrical equipment. These instruments can track the density changes of SF6 gas in real time, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the power system. However, instruments in long-term operation are susceptible to various factors such as aging, environmental pollution or calibration deviation, resulting in a gradual decrease in measurement accuracy, which in turn affects the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0003] In order to detect the accuracy of key data of field instruments, the traditional detection methods are as follows: 1. Remove the instrument from the running equipment and send it to a professional laboratory for inspection and testing. This process is not only time-consuming and inefficient, seriously affecting the continuous operation of the equipment, but also increases the complexity of operation and maintenance costs.

[0004] 2. Use professional detectors for on-site testing. Such detectors are generally expensive, bulky, complicated to operate, have limited use conditions, and have certain requirements for users. They are greatly affected by environmental factors and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the test.

[0005] In actual field applications, when the gas density relay alarms or displays a low value, people usually add gas directly to the electrical equipment. However, it is often the density relay itself that has a problem, rather than the electrical equipment leaking gas, which causes the density to be filled more and more, which in turn causes the safety valve to release, resulting in serious quality accidents. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a high-precision handheld SF6 gas density detection device that is efficient, accurate, portable and easy to operate.

[0007] It is also necessary to provide a method for detecting the density of SF6 gas.

[0008] A high-precision handheld SF6 gas density detection device comprises a gas path interface, a detection mechanism, and a handheld mechanism; The gas circuit interface is used to access the SF6 gas chamber of the electrical equipment to be tested, and one end of the gas circuit interface is provided with a plurality of adapters of different types to adapt to the SF6 gas chambers of different electrical equipment to be tested; when working, one end of the gas circuit interface is connected to the SF6 gas chamber of the electrical equipment to be tested, and the other end of the gas circuit interface is connected to the detection mechanism; The detection mechanism is used to collect the temperature information and pressure information of the SF6 gas chamber, and the detection mechanism is electrically connected to the handheld mechanism to transmit the temperature information and pressure information of the SF6 gas chamber to the handheld mechanism; the detection mechanism includes a first temperature sensor and a pressure sensor, and the first temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are electrically connected to the handheld mechanism; The handheld mechanism is used to store the temperature information and pressure information collected by the detection mechanism, and calculate the corresponding density based on the temperature information and pressure information to determine whether there is a leakage abnormality in the SF6 gas chamber; the handheld mechanism includes a reinforced shell, a controller, a memory, a timer, and a power supply. The controller, the memory, the timer, and the power supply are arranged in the reinforced shell. The controller is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the first temperature sensor to convert the temperature information and pressure information collected by the pressure sensor and the first temperature sensor into temperature detection values ​​and pressure detection values. The controller is also electrically connected to the memory to store the temperature detection value and the pressure detection value in the memory. The memory also stores pressure thresholds corresponding to different temperatures. The controller retrieves the corresponding pressure threshold at the same temperature in the memory according to the temperature detection value to determine whether there is an abnormality in the pressure detection value; if the pressure detection value is less than or equal to the pressure threshold, then the pressure detection value is abnormal; the controller is also electrically connected to the timer to count the detection temperature duration and the detection pressure duration; the controller also stores the location information, ID information, and time information of the measuring point in the memory to facilitate personnel to analyze data; the power supply is used to power the handheld mechanism.

[0009] A method for detecting SF6 gas density comprises the following steps: Step S1: Use a handheld high-precision SF6 gas density detection device to detect the temperature and pressure of the SF6 gas chamber of the electrical equipment to be tested; Step S2: searching for the corresponding pressure threshold according to the detected temperature. If the detected pressure is less than or equal to the pressure threshold, then an abnormal SF6 gas leakage occurs at the detection point; if the detected pressure is greater than the pressure threshold, there is no SF6 gas leakage; Step S3: When the SF6 gas leakage is abnormal, the gas path information analysis module issues a warning voice and displays the current temperature value, pressure value and gas density value.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The high-precision handheld SF6 gas density detection device of the present invention adopts a split design. The detection mechanism is directly connected to the gas supply port of the electrical equipment to be tested through a conversion joint, and the data is transmitted to the handheld mechanism through the gas path interface, which avoids the external gas path being too long and reduces the possibility of gas leakage. The rich conversion joints can better adapt to electrical equipment of different manufacturers or models. The split design is easy to disassemble and can be loaded into a customized toolbox, which is more convenient for operation and maintenance personnel to travel long distances and carry. The split design can flexibly replace the faulty mechanism in the event of a failure of the detection mechanism or the handheld mechanism, providing a redundant option. For batch measurement, the detector can store data. The data items of a single measurement data include the location information, ID information, temperature, pressure, density and measurement time of the measurement point for the user to input, which is convenient for the user to analyze the data. The overall assembly of the detector is convenient to carry, and the operation is simple and easy to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

One end of the gas circuit interface 20 is provided with a plurality of different types of adapters to adapt to different SF6 gas chambers of the electrical equipment to be tested. When working, one end of the gas circuit interface 20 is connected to the SF6 gas chamber of the electrical equipment to be tested, and the other end of the gas circuit interface 20 is connected to the detection mechanism 30. The detection mechanism 30 is used to collect the temperature information and pressure information of the SF6 gas chamber. The detection mechanism 30 is electrically connected to the handheld mechanism 40 to transmit the temperature information and pressure information of the SF6 gas chamber to the handheld mechanism 40; the detection mechanism 30 includes a first temperature sensor 301 and a pressure sensor 302, and the first temperature sensor 301 and the pressure sensor 302 are electrically connected to the handheld mechanism 40; The handheld mechanism 40 is used to store the temperature information and pressure information collected by the detection mechanism 30, and calculate the corresponding density based on the temperature information and pressure information to determine whether there is a leakage abnormality in the SF6 gas chamber; the handheld mechanism 40 includes a reinforced shell 401, a controller 402, a memory 403, a timer 404, and a power supply. The controller 402, the memory 403, the timer 404, and the power supply are arranged in the reinforced shell 401. The controller 402 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 302 and the first temperature sensor 301 to convert the temperature information and pressure information collected by the pressure sensor 302 and the first temperature sensor 301 into a temperature detection value and a pressure detection value. The controller 402 is also connected to the The memory 403 is electrically connected to store the temperature detection value and the pressure detection value in the memory 403. The memory 403 also stores the pressure thresholds corresponding to different temperatures. The controller 402 retrieves the corresponding pressure threshold at the same temperature in the memory 403 according to the temperature detection value to determine whether there is an abnormality in the pressure detection value; if the pressure detection value is less than or equal to the pressure threshold, then there is an abnormality in the pressure detection value; the controller 402 is also electrically connected to the timer 404 to count the duration of the temperature detection and the duration of the pressure detection; the controller 402 also stores the location information, ID information, and time information of the measuring point in the memory 403 to facilitate personnel to analyze data; the power supply is used to power the handheld mechanism 40.

In a preferred embodiment, the display 405 is an integrated resistive touch screen, which not only has a strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability, but also provides users with a quick and simple interaction path and rich interaction functions.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, if the display 405 is not touched within 60 seconds, the system enters a low power consumption mode and wakes up when it is touched again.

[0019] Specifically, the “pressure threshold corresponding to the same temperature in the memory 403” is obtained by performing temperature and pressure tests on SF6 to obtain the SF6 liquefaction temperature at different pressures and the liquefaction sudden change pressure value at different temperatures, and the sudden change pressure value is the pressure threshold. According to the detected temperature, the sudden change pressure value at the temperature is retrieved, that is, the pressure threshold. If the pressure detection value is less than or equal to the pressure threshold, the controller 402 sends a liquefaction notice signal and / or information and displays it on the display 405.

[0022] The voltage across the acquisition resistor (R2) in series with the battery is collected through an analog-to-digital signal converter (U2), and the voltage across the resistor (V) and the working current i are calculated; the real-time battery power is calculated by calculating Q1=i (real-time battery current)*t (time); through the real-time power Q1 and the current discharge curve M in the battery specification, there is a certain mapping relationship between the real-time power and the battery discharge curve, and the battery remaining power formula Q=f(Q1, M) is obtained.
