[0003] When using existing cable reels, operators cannot monitor the operating voltage of the cable reel in real time, which can lead to accidental electric shock. Operators also cannot monitor the current current and power of the cable reel in real time, so they continue to connect high-power equipment, potentially overloading the cable reel. If the overload protection fails to activate, the cable reel may burn. If the overload protection activates, other normally used electrical equipment may stop working.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the cable reel power consumption detection method of the present invention: the first preset threshold is 90% of the cable reel rated current, and the second preset threshold is 100% of the cable reel rated current; the first-level early warning measures include: starting the yellow early warning indicator light to light continuously; sending a load reduction instruction to the associated equipment; the second-level early warning measures include: starting the red alarm indicator light to flash; cutting off the main power supply circuit and locking the circuit until manually reset.

[0034] It should be noted that the visual warning unit 5 can use LED lights of different colors to display whether the detected current value is greater than the rated current of the cable reel.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment provided in the present application, a voltage identification module is also included, which includes a voltage detection unit 6, which indirectly determines the voltage state by detecting the current value of the disk power supply circuit; a logic judgment unit 8, which presets the correspondence between the safety voltage threshold and the current value, and triggers a safety indication when it is detected that the current value meets the safety condition; a visual status indication unit 9, which includes at least two status identifications for distinguishing between safe voltage and dangerous voltage.

[0036] Specifically, the voltage identification module further includes a voltage-dividing resistor network, which forms a detection loop with the live wire and the neutral wire of the disk; the detection loop is connected in series with the current sensing switch.

[0037] Furthermore, the current sensing switch controls the on / off state of the visual status indicating unit 9, which includes a safety indicator light; the two state identifiers of the safety indicator light are light color and flashing frequency.

[0038] Furthermore, the visual warning unit 5 includes a buzzer, which triggers an audible and visual alarm when the current is greater than the rated current.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment provided in the present application, a cable reel power detection method is also provided, including a cable reel early warning system, which also includes: first connecting the power supply 11 to the power supply 11 input interface of the reel body; collecting the input voltage and output current signals of the cable reel in real time through the current detection unit 2; synchronously displaying the voltage value, current value and real-time power on the digital display module 1; when it is detected that the current value reaches a preset safety threshold, starting a graded early warning mechanism: when the current value is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, triggering the first level early warning measures; when the current value is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, triggering the second level early warning measures; judging the safety of the cable reel working voltage by detecting the current state of the power supply circuit: when the detected current meets the safety conditions, activating the safe voltage indication; when the detected current exceeds the safety range, triggering the dangerous voltage alarm.

[0040] Specifically, the first preset threshold is 90% of the rated current of the cable reel, and the second preset threshold is 100% of the rated current of the cable reel; the first-level early warning measures include: starting the yellow warning indicator light to light continuously; sending a load reduction instruction to the associated equipment; the second-level early warning measures include: starting the red alarm indicator light to flash; cutting off the main power supply circuit and locking the circuit until manually reset.

[0041] Furthermore, a voltage-dividing resistor network is connected in series in the power supply circuit to form a detection branch; the current value of the detection branch is detected in real time; and the equivalent voltage value is calculated according to the formula V=I×R, where:

[0042] when When , it is determined to be a safe voltage;

[0043] when When it is detected, it is judged as dangerous voltage;

[0044] The voltage status is visually displayed through a dual-color LED indicator.

[0045] Working principle: Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also incorporates two independent detection circuits within the cable reel, connected to the voltage and current signal acquisition terminals of the digital display device. The voltage sampling circuit converts the high-voltage input signal into a low-voltage signal via a voltage-divider resistor network. A rectifier circuit 3 filters the AC component of the pulsating DC voltage through a filter circuit 7, retaining the DC component. This reduces the ripple factor of the output voltage and smoothes the waveform. After analog-to-digital conversion via an ADC chip, the voltage value is calculated in real time by a microcontroller. The current sampling circuit utilizes a Hall-effect sensor connected in series to the load output terminal. This sensor detects magnetic field changes and outputs a voltage signal proportional to the current, enabling high-precision current monitoring within a specified range. After processing these two signals, the digital display module 1 simultaneously displays the voltage, current, and power parameters. The response time is controlled within 100ms, with an accuracy of ±1.5% FS, allowing operators to intuitively understand the real-time operating status of the cable reel.

[0046] It should also be noted that the current sensing switch mainly uses a Hall sensor, which is connected in series to the main power supply circuit. When it is detected that the load current reaches 90% of the rated value, the sensor outputs a voltage signal to trigger the relay coil to energize, thereby controlling the yellow indicator light to remain on, and at the same time sending a load reduction instruction to the associated equipment through the RS485 interface; when the current further increases to 100% of the rated value, the relay contact switches state to cut off the main circuit power supply, the red indicator light flashes at a high frequency and activates the sound and light alarm, and the circuit breaker state is locked by the mechanical locking mechanism until it is manually reset; by setting different ranges for the dynamic threshold, such as setting it to 90% to 100% of the rated current, a gradient response of the overload protection is achieved, which not only avoids frequent false triggering, but also reserves an operation window for emergency response.

[0047] When detecting voltage, a detection branch circuit can be formed by connecting 500Ω and 1000Ω precision resistors in series between the live and neutral wires. When the line voltage is normal (≤36V), the current flowing through the resistor is less than 0.72A (36V / 500Ω), the internal contacts of the current sensing switch close, triggering the relay to operate, and the green indicator light stays on, indicating that the voltage is safe. When the voltage rises abnormally (>36V), the current in the detection branch exceeds the threshold, the current sensing switch opens, causing the relay to release, the green indicator light goes out, and the red indicator light starts flashing as an alarm. Dimming technology is used to achieve gradual brightness changes to enhance the visual warning effect. The combination of current value and resistor voltage divider can effectively eliminate the risk of misjudgment of a single detection method and ensure the accuracy of safe voltage identification.

[0048] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
