[0061] Reference herein to "embodiments" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it necessarily mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0062] With the increasing demand for social electricity, electrical safety problems are increasingly prominent, especially in low-voltage distribution systems and smart home circuits. And alternating current arc fault is one of the main causes of electrical fires, which makes the detection and prevention of alternating current arc fault particularly important.

[0063] Currently, the detection method of alternating current arc fault mainly relies on a single parameter such as current mutation, temperature change or sound recognition. The harmonic characteristics of the current signal are not fully explored, resulting in insufficient detection sensitivity and reliability, which is difficult to meet the demand of the power system for high-precision and real-time arc fault detection, and cannot quickly display and respond to fault conditions to achieve the effect of quickly suppressing the arc.

[0064] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an alternating current arc detection method and related device, which can realize real-time visualization of arc generation and suppression effect through automatic or manual circuit simulation model and actual circuit correlation construction, improve the efficiency of arc suppression, improve the accuracy of arc analysis based on time domain and frequency domain feature analysis to determine the arc feature vector, and shorten the arc extinguishing time through the multi-level suppression strategy executed immediately based on the arc generation condition, thereby improving the efficiency, accuracy and speed of suppressing the arc.

[0065] The alternating current arc detection method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the arc detection system as shown in Figure 1a or Figure 1b Please refer to Figure 1a , Figure 1ais a schematic diagram of an arc detection system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The arc detection system 100 comprises a controller 110, a signal detection circuit module 120, a regulation circuit module 130, and a circuit to be detected 140.

[0066] In the present solution, the controller 110 refers to a remote computer for processing a large number of computing tasks and storing data. The controller 110 can be a microcontroller unit (MCU), a programmable logic controller (PLC), a control chip, or other electronic devices that can realize complex logic control, data processing, and automatic regulation. The signal detection circuit module 120 is used to collect the current signal in the circuit to be detected 140. The signal detection circuit module 120 can include at least one of a Hall effect current transformer and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The number of bits of the ADC is preferably 16 bits, and the sampling frequency is preferably 10 kHz. The number of bits and the sampling frequency of the ADC are not limited herein. The regulation circuit module 130 includes at least one of a relay, a solid-state switch, a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), or a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller. The relay or solid-state switch is used to change the impedance characteristics of the circuit to be detected 140. The dynamic damping technology can effectively suppress the sustained discharge phenomenon of the arc current. The SCR and PWM can filter the high-frequency harmonics generated in the circuit, thereby significantly reducing the probability of arc reignition and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the circuit.

[0067] The signal detection circuit module 120 and the regulation circuit module 130 are in communication connection with the controller 110. The controller 110 can receive signals from the signal detection circuit module 120 and the regulation circuit module 130. The controller 110 can also send control instructions to the signal detection circuit module 120 and the regulation circuit module 130.

[0068] In the present solution, the controller 110 is deployed with a circuit simulation model and a pre-trained intelligent analysis model for simulating the arc condition in the circuit and intelligently analyzing the arc generation condition. The controller 110 can also be used to collect data during the use of the model, facilitating the subsequent optimization of the model.

[0069] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 1b , Figure 1bis another architecture schematic diagram of an arc detection system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The arc detection system 100 includes a controller 110, a signal detection circuit module 120, a regulation circuit module 130, a circuit to be detected 140, and a terminal 150.

[0070] The terminal 150 can communicate with the controller 110. The terminal 150 refers to a device used by a user, such as a smartphone, a computer, AR glasses, a tablet computer, and the like.

[0071] In this solution, the terminal 150 can be provided with a user interface, which is mainly responsible for interacting with the controller 110, so that the user can conveniently input external instructions and the like. The terminal 150 can send the instructions input by the user to the controller 110, and the controller 110 can send data to the terminal 150.

[0072] Based on this, the present application provides an alternating current arc detection method and related devices. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of an alternating current arc detection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a controller of an arc detection system. The arc detection system further includes a signal detection circuit module and a regulation circuit module, as shown in Figure 2 The method includes the following steps:

[0074] S210, an external instruction is acquired, and a circuit simulation model is determined based on the external instruction. The external instruction includes an operation instruction of a user.

[0075] The external instruction is an operation instruction input by the user, which is used to indicate the electrical components and the connection relationship thereof included in the circuit simulation model. The circuit simulation model is an electrical principle simulation model including multiple electrical components, which can simulate the running state of an actual circuit and dynamically display the flow of current between different elements. After the user inputs the operation instruction, the controller acquires the operation instruction, and determines the circuit simulation model based on the multiple electrical components and the corresponding connection relationship indicated in the operation instruction. In this way, the user can intuitively understand the working principle of the circuit, and the electrical principle model provides important basic data for subsequent arc fault detection, so that the fault detection process is more efficient and accurate.

[0076] The input mode of the external instruction from the user side can be input through a terminal, and the type of the terminal can be diverse. For example, the terminal can be an electronic device including a camera device, such as a tablet computer, a camera, a mobile phone, a computer, a smart watch, AR glasses, and the like. The layout image of the circuit under test can be obtained by capturing the circuit under test through the camera or by scanning the circuit under test through the AR glasses, and then the model building is automatically performed based on the layout image of the circuit under test. The terminal can also be an electronic device including a display screen, such as a tablet computer, a camera, a mobile phone, a computer, a smart watch, and the like. The display screen displays a user operable interface or a remote monitoring interface, such as a touch screen, a TFF screen, or an LCD screen or an LED screen, for the user to perform simple gesture operations (such as dragging, clicking, sliding, and the like) to place the electrical component to a specified area for arrangement, or to display the current waveform, the harmonic spectrum diagram, and the arc energy change curve in real time to realize real-time data visualization, and to generate the circuit simulation model based on the arranged electrical component information given by the user.

[0077] In a possible embodiment, the arc detection system further includes at least one terminal, the external instruction is obtained, the external instruction includes an automatic generation instruction and / or an active layout instruction, and the circuit simulation model is determined based on the external instruction. If it is detected that the external instruction is the automatic generation instruction, a layout image from the terminal is obtained, the layout image includes a layout image captured by the terminal, the circuit simulation model is automatically generated based on the automatic generation instruction and the layout image, if it is detected that the external instruction is the active layout instruction, the circuit simulation model is generated based on the active layout instruction, or a layout image from the terminal is obtained, the layout image includes a layout image captured by the terminal, and the circuit simulation model is automatically generated based on the active layout instruction and / or the layout image.

[0078] The automatic generation instruction is an external instruction for generating the circuit simulation model based on the image information captured by the terminal, and the active layout instruction is an external instruction for generating the circuit simulation model based on the arranged electrical component information given by the user on the display screen. The above instructions can exist alone or together, and the circuit simulation model can be generated based on the automatic generation instruction or the active layout instruction alone, or the circuit simulation model can be generated based on the coupling of the automatic generation instruction and the active layout instruction.

[0079] If the external instruction is detected as the automatic generation instruction, further image processing and recognition are performed based on the obtained layout image. First, image preprocessing is performed, including at least one of denoising, image enhancement, distortion correction, and perspective transformation. Then, the preprocessed image is subjected to element detection and recognition based on computer vision technology. Specifically, technologies such as OpenCV contour detection and feature matching or deep learning model are used to recognize and classify electrical elements in the image, and the connection relationship between each element is identified, which can be the cable routing, terminal connection, etc. to determine the electrical connection topology. Based on the results of the above image processing and recognition, a model is generated, the type, position, and connection relationship of the recognized elements are converted into a circuit network topology, and default parameters or parameters matched from a component library are applied to generate a standard circuit simulation model file, such as a SPICE netlist, a Modelica model, or a custom format, to obtain a circuit simulation model.

[0080] If the external instruction is detected as the active layout instruction, a circuit simulation model is directly constructed based on the user-selected electrical components and connection rules in the active layout instruction. In some possible cases, at least one of error correction prompts or automatic error correction can be added during the construction based on the active layout instruction.

[0081] If the external instruction is detected as the active layout instruction and the automatic generation instruction, the circuit simulation model constructed based on the circuit network topology generated by the automatic generation instruction is matched and coupled with the circuit simulation model constructed based on the active layout instruction, and the differences between the two schemes are pointed out for user decision-making. In some possible cases, a weight-based integration method can also be adopted.

[0082] As can be seen, in the embodiment, the automatic generation relying on images and the active layout relying on user input are used to adapt to different user needs and application scenarios, improve the accuracy of the circuit simulation model, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the user in constructing the circuit simulation model.

[0083] In a possible embodiment, the terminal includes a first type of terminal, the first type of terminal is provided with a display screen, the display screen is used to display an operation interface, and the active layout instruction of the user is obtained, the active layout instruction includes a touch instruction or a control instruction, the touch instruction includes at least one of dragging and clicking, the operation interface includes a plurality of callable electrical components, the active layout instruction includes the touch instruction or the control instruction for the plurality of callable electrical components, and if the external instruction is detected as the active layout instruction, the circuit simulation model is generated based on the active layout instruction, including: obtaining the touch instruction for the plurality of callable electrical components; and in response to the touch instruction, generating the complete circuit simulation model in the display operation interface topology.

[0084] The first type of terminal is provided with a display screen, which corresponds to the electronic device provided with the display screen described above. The display screen is used to display a visual operation interface, and user instructions can be received through touch or external devices (such as a mouse or a keyboard).

[0085] The touch instruction is a direct operation of the user on the screen, such as dragging or clicking a preset electrical component. The terminal can call a preset electrical component library, which can store various electrical elements, including but not limited to various electrical devices, electronic elements, connection rules, electrical parameters, and the like. When the user combines electrical components and constructs a topology structure through interface operation (dragging / clicking), the system generates a corresponding circuit simulation model in real time.

[0086] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the intuitive graphical operation of the user is converted into a high-fidelity circuit model, which provides accurate input for subsequent simulation, can improve the accuracy of the circuit simulation model, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of the user in constructing the circuit simulation model.

Sampling is performed at a preset sampling frequency in each detection period. The preferred preset sampling frequency is preferably 10 kHz. The specific sampling frequency can be selected according to actual conditions, which is not limited herein.

[0100] It can be seen that, in the embodiment, the arc recognition accuracy is improved by joint multi-parameter cross-validation, and the process analysis speed is relatively fast, so that the efficiency of arc recognition is improved.

[0101] In S230, an arc generation condition is determined based on the arc time-frequency feature vector, and the arc generation condition is used to represent whether the arc is generated and / or the arc generation position and / or the danger degree.

[0102] In the embodiment, the arc time-frequency feature vector can be subjected to multi-feature cross-fusion for comprehensive determination, or subjected to time-domain and frequency-domain classification for separate determination.

[0103] For example, if the multi-feature cross-fusion is selected for comprehensive determination, the time-domain features, the frequency-domain features, and the harmonic features contained in the multiple arc feature vectors determined above are subjected to multi-coefficient fusion to obtain fusion features, and the coefficients used for fusion can be obtained through machine learning training. Then, the fusion features are subjected to determination based on cross-comprehensive weights.

[0105] determining a first arc judgment result based on the arc time-frequency feature vector and a preset threshold, the first arc judgment result including a first result and a second result, the first result being used to represent that the measured circuit does not produce an arc, and the second result being used to represent that the measured circuit can produce an arc; determining a second arc judgment result in the current detection period based on the first arc judgment result, the second arc judgment result including a third result and a fourth result, the third result being used to represent that the measured circuit produces an arc and indicating that the controller determines a protection strategy, and the fourth result representing that the measured circuit does not produce an arc.

[0106] Specifically, the determining of the second arc judgment result based on the first arc judgment result includes: if the first arc judgment result is the second result, constructing a model input feature vector based on the arc time-frequency feature vector; determining an arc type based on the model input feature vector and a pre-trained intelligent analysis model, the arc type including at least one of a series arc type, a parallel arc type and an interference signal type; if the arc type is the series arc type or the parallel arc type, the second arc judgment result is the third result; and if the arc type is the interference signal type, the second arc judgment result is the fourth result.

[0107] First, a first arc judgment result is determined based on an arc video feature vector and a preset threshold, to determine whether an arc is likely to be produced, for rapid rough screening, to reduce the calculation load and to achieve a millisecond-level response. If the circuit under test does not produce an arc, the first result is obtained; if the circuit under test is likely to produce an arc, further analysis is needed, and the second result is obtained. In the second result, further arc analysis is performed. If it is determined that an arc is produced, the third result is obtained; if it is determined that no arc is produced, the fourth result is obtained. It should be noted that the fourth result and the first result are ultimately the same result.

[0108] The model input feature vector and the model input vector can be the same, or can be dimensionally converted to adapt to the pre-trained intelligent analysis model. The pre-trained intelligent analysis model can be a support vector machine model or a random forest model. The structure of the pre-trained intelligent analysis model can include a convolution layer, an LSTM layer, a fully connected layer and an output layer, wherein the convolution layer is used to extract local patterns, and the LSTM layer is used to capture time sequence dependencies. The final output includes a series arc probability, a parallel arc probability and an interference signal probability. Based on the series arc probability, the parallel arc probability and the interference signal probability, the arc type is determined to be a series arc, a parallel arc or an interference signal.

[0109] For example, as shown in Table 1, in the process of preset intelligent analysis model analysis, specific arc type judgment can be made through the following typical cases, for example, detection of 30% reduction in current root mean square value, harmonic amplitude mutation rate > 120%, resulting in a high probability of series arc, detection of peak factor > 3.5, phase offset > 0.4 rad, resulting in a high probability of parallel arc, sudden increase in harmonic energy ratio but recovery in a period of time, peak factor < 2.0, resulting in a high probability of interference signal.

[0122] Wherein, the second time period is a time period subsequent to the first time period, and the first time period is a time period subsequent to the detection of the arc generation. In the first time period, the second type of electronic switching device is dynamically regulated based on the arc position and the arc severity in the arc generation condition, and the operation of the first type of electronic switching device is controlled in the first time period or the second time period.

[0123] Wherein, in the first time period, if a series arc is detected, the series impedance is increased, which can be adjusted by regulating the trigger angle of the thyristor to dynamically suppress the arc generation. Specifically, the trigger angle algorithm of the thyristor can include:

The pulse generator reaches the voltage phase... A pulse is sent to the gate of the thyristor at a specific time. The calculation of the trigger angle can be dynamically corrected based on the rate of change of current. Multiple rate of change thresholds are set, including a first rate of change and a second rate of change. If the rate of change of current is less than or equal to the first rate of change, the trigger angle correction is the first trigger angle correction. If the rate of change of current is greater than the first rate of change and less than or equal to the second rate of change, the trigger angle correction is between [a, b]. If the rate of change of current is greater than the second rate of change, the trigger angle correction is between [c, d]. For example, [a, b] can be [-15°, -30°], and [c, d] can be [-45°, -60°].

[0127] In the first time period, if a parallel arc is detected, the parallel impedance is reduced. This can be achieved by adjusting the PWM duty cycle to dynamically suppress arc generation. Specifically, adjusting the PWM duty cycle to regulate the impedance can involve determining the PWM duty cycle frequency based on specific arc data and multiple preset arc thresholds. The specific arc data can be the arc energy, and the preset arc thresholds can include a first arc threshold and a second arc threshold. The first arc threshold can be 10J, and the second arc threshold can be 50J. For example, refer to Table 2: if the arc energy is less than 10J, the PWM frequency is adjusted to 10kHz with a duty cycle range of 30%-70%; if the arc energy is greater than or equal to 10J but less than or equal to 50J, the PWM frequency is adjusted to 20kHz with a duty cycle range of 10%-30%; and if the arc energy is greater than 50J, the PWM frequency is adjusted to 50kHz with a duty cycle range of 5%-15%.

[0129]

[0130] The first type of electronic switch device can operate in the first time period or the second time period, and the process of turning off the first type of electronic switch device can last for a period of time. Before the first type of electronic switch device completely cuts off the circuit, the second type of electronic switch device is controlled to operate. At the moment of detecting the arc phenomenon, the system quickly starts the protection mechanism, and triggers the relay or the solid-state switch (such as the insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT) to quickly cut off the fault circuit in a very short time, i.e. within 0.1 second, so as to block the further input of arc energy and achieve rapid cutting. At the same time, before the circuit is completely cut off, the system uses the silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) or the pulse width modulation (PWM) controller to dynamically adjust the impedance characteristics of the circuit. This dynamic damping technology can effectively suppress the continuous discharge phenomenon of the arc current.
