Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric meter testing, and in particular to an insulation testing method for a single-phase smart electric energy meter. BACKGROUND

[0002] Insulation testing of a single-phase smart electric energy meter is a procedure for evaluating whether the insulation performance between internal circuits of the electric energy meter and external contactable metal components (such as terminal connectors, terminal boxes, etc.) and between different live circuits (such as phase lines and zero lines, phase lines and ground lines, etc.) meets the standard requirements. Before testing the electric energy meter, the high-voltage or physically grounded contact parts need to be cleaned, and in particular, the terminal connectors will undergo irreversible electrochemical reactions in the environmental medium, resulting in the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the terminal connectors. The oxide layer will create a false conductive path during insulation testing, causing deviations in the measured results from the actual insulation state. Therefore, before insulation testing, a precision eraser or glass fiber pen is used to wipe the surface of the terminal connectors to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the terminal connectors.

[0003] When wiping the surface of the terminal connectors, manual operation cannot accurately control the wiping force, which will cause the oxide layer on the surface of the terminal connectors to fall off fine metal chips under the action of micro-cutting. Since the oxide layer on the surface of the terminal connectors has mixed insulation and semiconductor properties, these metal chips scattered in the terminal gap will form a bridging channel, causing a leakage, resulting in an incorrect judgment of the insulation test, and misjudging a qualified product as unqualified. In addition, in the environment of applying high voltage during insulation testing, the high voltage will cause a high-strength electric field around the metal chips, causing the originally electrically neutral metal chips to accumulate electric charges through induction or contact, generate electrostatic adsorption force, and migrate under the action of the electrostatic adsorption force, thereby causing dynamic errors in the data correction strategy for the position distribution of the metal chips. SUMMARY

In the drawings:

[0069] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the method flow of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0070] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Thus, the realization process of how to apply technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects of the present application can be fully understood and implemented.

[0071] The embodiment provides an insulation test method of a single-phase intelligent electric energy meter. The number, size and position of metal micro-particles on a wiring terminal surface are quantified through a visual system. An equivalent conductance model of the metal micro-particles on the wiring terminal surface is established. The measured resistance value in the insulation test is corrected, so that a qualified electric energy meter is not judged as unqualified. As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps: Figure 1

[0072] After the surface of the wiring terminal is polished, the particles loosely attached to the surface of the wiring terminal are cleaned through mechanical vibration. The surface image of the wiring terminal is collected by using a high-resolution industrial camera. The metal micro-particle features are highlighted in combination with a multi-waveband ring-shaped light source, such as white light (surface topography) and ultraviolet light (metal reflection enhancement). Specifically, the method for correcting the measured resistance value is as follows:

[0073] Firstly, structured stripe light is projected onto the surface of the wiring terminal. The surface image of the wiring terminal is captured from different angles by the industrial camera (for example, an elevation angle of 15° can obtain the groove shadow feature generated by polishing on the surface of the wiring terminal, and a depression angle of 60° can capture the protruding profile of the metal micro-particles on the surface of the wiring terminal). The point cloud data of the surface of the wiring terminal is generated in combination. All concave-convex points on the point cloud data are marked, including scratches, metal micro-particles and grooves.

[0074] ​The multispectral light source separation feature is simultaneously projected onto the terminal surface to generate a multispectral image of the terminal surface. The multispectral light source includes white light, ultraviolet light, and near-infrared light. White light can suppress specular reflections on the terminal surface; ultraviolet light activates the fluorescence of metal debris on the terminal surface, enhancing the metal reflection signal; and near-infrared light penetrates the electrolytic film and abrasive residue on the terminal surface. The surface normal vector is calculated in real time using the terminal point cloud data, and the multispectral light source incident angle and polarizer orientation are dynamically adjusted to eliminate surface reflection interference, ensure clear imaging of metal debris on the surface, and generate a multispectral image of the terminal surface. A global coordinate system is established on the terminal surface, and the multispectral image and point cloud data are fused and aligned to the global coordinate system based on the coordinate mapping relationship to generate a fused feature map.

[0075] 3D morphology analysis is then used to remove scratches on the terminal surface, ultraviolet-infrared reflectance spectra are used to distinguish materials, and the dimensions are calibrated in combination with the surface inclination to achieve precise identification of metal chips and accurate measurement of geometric parameters, providing reliable data input for correcting the measured resistance value.

[0076] It should be noted that during the dynamic adjustment of the incident angle of the multispectral light source and the orientation of the polarizer, the terminal blocks of high-voltage, high-current electricity meters typically utilize an arc-shaped crimp structure to withstand high-current electrodynamic forces. This results in abrupt curvature changes on the terminal block surface during the real-time calculation of the surface normal vector based on the terminal block's 3D point cloud data. This leads to significant deviations in the standard normal vector formula at the point of sudden curvature changes due to phase resolution errors, which in turn leads to inaccurate polarization angle compensation, abnormal signals in the ultraviolet and near-infrared channels (a sudden drop in ultraviolet reflectivity and Fresnel transmission artifacts in the near-infrared), and failure to identify metal chip fragments. In particular, when polishing the oxide layer on the surface of a terminal block with an arc-shaped crimp structure, the bending stress in the arc-shaped area of ​​the terminal block surface causes the chip to generate with greater internal stress, resulting in more irregularly shaped metal chips (such as curls and hooks). These large and irregularly shaped metal chips can cause large metal chips (especially curls) to accumulate on the concave surface of the arc, forming a stacking area that obscures the underlying metal chips and makes them unrecognizable by the optical detection system. This results in significant errors in the number, size, and location of metal chips. To address this issue, we utilize curvature-adaptive polarization control and tomographic confocal scanning to overcome the optical distortion and metal chip stacking limitations of high-curvature terminal surfaces. This allows for panoramic, high-precision identification of metal chips on terminal surfaces with extreme geometric structures, providing a reliable data foundation for insulation performance evaluation. More specific implementation methods include:

[0077] A low-density grating (e.g., with a period of 200 μm) is projected onto the surface of the terminal, and a basic curvature map κ(x, y) of the terminal surface is obtained by phase-shift interferometry, where κ(x, y) represents the curvature value κ at the coordinate (x, y) of the terminal surface.

[0078] Based on the basic curvature map of the terminal surface, the projected grating period is dynamically calculated and adjusted. The grating period in low-curvature regions (κ < 1) is adjusted to 20 μm; in medium-curvature regions (1 < κ < 2) to 20-8(κ - 1) μm; and in high-curvature regions (κ > 1) to 4 μm. By segmenting the curvature regions of the terminal surface, the high-curvature regions, where the surface geometry changes dramatically, require a smaller grating period to capture the details. By dynamically adjusting the grating period, the fringe deformation accurately reflects the terminal's surface topography.

[0079] Four polarization camera channels (0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) are used to simultaneously expose the polarization-modulated structured light reflected from the terminal surface. The exposure time is inversely proportional to the curvature of the terminal surface, as higher curvature areas require shorter exposure times to avoid saturation. The Stokes component is then calculated using the polarization image collected by each polarization camera channel. The expression is:

[0080]

[0081] Where S0 is the sum of the non-polarized components; S1 is the linear polarization degree of the 0° polarization camera channel; S2 is the linear polarization degree of the 45° polarization camera channel; I0 is the light intensity collected by the 0° polarization camera channel, which is the reflection of the metal body; I 45 The light intensity collected by the 45° polarization camera channel reflects the characteristics of the oxide layer; I 90 The light intensity collected by the 90° polarization camera channel reflects the surface geometric characteristics; I 135 The light intensity collected by the 135° polarization camera channel represents microstructure scattering. Applying a Mueller matrix transformation to the Stokes vector yields a corrected Stokes vector, eliminating polarization measurement deviations caused by surface reflectivity.

[0082] The surface gradient is calculated based on the point cloud data of the terminal surface, and a compensation vector is generated, namely:

[0083]

[0084] Where, is the normal vector compensation, which represents the polarization measurement error correction value; δ is a modifier, is the basic normal vector of the terminal surface calculated based on the point cloud data; α is the curvature and error conversion factor, which is a dimensionless coefficient obtained based on experimental data calibration; unit(...) is the vector normalization operator used to normalize the vector; r is the radial coordinate, is the radial unit vector, obtained based on the surface gradient; is the radial second-order derivative, which represents the rate of change of curvature along the radial direction; z is the depth direction.

[0085] Then, the final true normal vector is generated based on the normal vector compensation and the original optical normal vector, namely:

[0086]

[0087] Where, is the true normal vector. By integrating confocal geometry measurement and polarization optical data, the interference caused by the curved surface of the terminal block is eliminated, and the problem of identifying metal chips on strongly reflective surfaces is solved. k is the parameter index of the Stokes component, [0, 1, 2] corresponds to S0, S1, and S2 respectively. S k is the Stokes component; is the polarization basis vector.

[0088] Based on the basic curvature map of the terminal surface, the tomographic confocal scanning range and variable step size are calculated to match the thickness of the metal chip stack on the terminal surface, maximizing penetration depth while ensuring accuracy. Wavelengths are switched based on the curvature region of the terminal surface to enhance surface detail and improve deep penetration of the metal chip stack. Different spectral wavelengths for tomographic confocal scanning are implemented based on the curvature region of the terminal surface. For low-curvature regions, a single wavelength (visible spectrum region) is activated to prioritize fast scanning efficiency. For medium-curvature regions, a complementary dual-wavelength combination (visible light + near-infrared) is enabled to construct a spectral contrast channel. For high-curvature regions, a three-wavelength synergy (ultraviolet + visible light + infrared) is triggered to form a wide-spectrum penetration solution. A wavelength-depth feature mapping is established, and spectral differentiation is used to eliminate masking artifacts. A pulsed laser is emitted onto the terminal surface and the photon arrival time is recorded to generate a depth-to-photon curve. The optical path difference is used to accurately separate the metal chip signals at different levels. Finally, a four-dimensional tensor T(x, y, z, λ) of spectral data containing the depth attenuation curve is generated. UV ), where z is the depth direction, λ UV is the spectral channel.

[0089] The curvature value of the terminal surface is greater than the preset risk threshold κ thThe area is defined as a high-risk area; based on the curvature value of the high-risk area, the scanning density coefficient β = min (3, 1 + 2κ) is increased to enhance the scanning density. The optimal incident angle of the multi-spectral light source, the additional compensation angle of the polarizer direction, and the UV gain factor are calculated based on the curvature value of the terminal surface, and an enhanced dataset is constructed for the high-risk area; that is:

[0090]

[0091] Where θ opt is the optimal incident angle of the multispectral light source; arcsin(...) is the inverse sine function; NA is the numerical aperture, which represents the light-gathering ability of the optical lens; α′ is the material compensation coefficient, which is determined by fitting experimental data; γ is the curvature correction term; is the compensation angle increment in the direction of the polarizer, which is used to solve the polarization distortion problem during curved surface reflection; 25° is the maximum polarization deviation of the copper terminal under extreme curvature; 0.35 is the attenuation coefficient, which is a constant of the material and wavelength coupling characteristics; G UV is the UV gain factor; η is the basic compensation coefficient; α″ is the curvature sensitivity factor.

[0092] The polarization compensation angle of each coordinate point on the terminal surface is calculated based on the true normal vector, that is:

[0093]

[0094] Where, is the polarization compensation angle, which represents the angle between the incident light and the surface normal and determines the change in polarization state; is the incident light direction vector.

[0095] Then, an inverse compensation matrix is ​​constructed based on the polarization compensation angle, which contains the polarization state change information of the polarized light after it is reflected on the terminal surface. The matrix expression is:

[0096]

[0097] Where, is the inverse compensation matrix, which is used to eliminate the polarization distortion caused by curvature; is the secant function, Used to compensate for the optical path difference caused by normal tilt; is the tangent function, is the cosecant function, which is used to compensate the intensity of the cross-polarization component; Polarization rotation used to correct for reflections from curved surfaces.

[0098] Depolarize the original polarization image and perform convolution operation on the polarization image and the inverse compensation matrix, that is:

[0099]

[0100] Where, I corr (x, y) is the corrected image, which is the output result after eliminating polarization distortion; Conv(...) is the matrix convolution operation, which is used to apply the inverse compensation matrix to each coordinate point; I raw is the original polarization image.

[0101] The corrected image and the spectral data four-dimensional tensor are fused in the depth direction to form an image sequence with depth information, namely:

[0102]

[0103] Where D(x,y,z) is an image sequence with depth information; is the depthwise convolution.

[0104] Then the image sequence is subjected to tomographic deconvolution, namely:

[0105]

[0106] in,

[0107] Where V vol The reconstructed metal chip volume data is the real structure after eliminating optical distortion; F{...} represents the three-dimensional Fourier transform operator, which converts the masked data in the spatial domain into the frequency domain representation by performing a three-dimensional Fourier transform on the image sequence; F -1 [...] denotes the inverse Fourier transform; H * (w) is the curvature-adaptive hybrid transfer function, which is used to solve the optical distortion problem in surface detection; w is the spatial frequency vector; OTF(w) is the optical transfer function, which is used to correct lateral blur and diffraction effects; CTF(w) is the confocal transfer function, which is used to enhance the depth resolution.

[0108] The filtering parameters of each coordinate position are calculated based on the basic curvature map of the terminal surface, and a three-dimensional Gaussian kernel function is generated in real time. The three-dimensional Gaussian kernel function is used to perform a three-dimensional convolution operation on the reconstructed metal micro-chip volume data, and the optimized metal micro-chip volume data is output.

[0109] Utilize the multi-spectral information of the terminal surface, including: the reflection intensity I in the ultraviolet band u , the reflection intensity I in the near infrared band ir and the reflection intensity I in the visible light band v Then calculate the reflectance ratio R of ultraviolet light to near infrared light at each coordinate point on the terminal surface. u / ir ,Right now: The material of the terminal surface is classified according to the reflectance, including metal chips, mixed chips, and non-metal residues. The metal weight, non-metal weight, and mixed weight are dynamically calculated based on the reflectance, namely:

[0110]

[0111] ω d =1-ω m

[0112]

[0113] Where, ω m is the metal weight, ω d is the non-metal weight, ω c is the mixing weight; b is the slope coefficient, μ is the decision point, used to distinguish metal and non-metal; R ref is the reference point, reflecting the reflectance under ideal mixing conditions, based on the statistical mean of typical mixed materials; S is the normalization factor.

[0114] Then, the multispectral information is fused into the final fused image F based on three weights, namely:

[0115] F(x,y,z)=ω m I v +ω c I u +ω d I ir

[0116] A partition mapping function is established based on the basic curvature map of the terminal surface, namely

[0117] Ω i ={(x,y)|κ th,i ≤κ(x,y)<κ th,i +Δκ max}

[0118] Where, Ω i is the i-th curvature partition, κ th,i is the base curvature threshold of the i-th curvature partition, Δκ max is the maximum curvature difference threshold.

[0119] Each curvature partition is then independently segmented using watershed segmentation and denoised using morphological filtering to generate a binary label matrix for metal chips. The originally connected area is segmented into independent parts, where each label represents a different metal chip individual. Continuous pixel regions with the same label value in the binary label matrix are identified, that is, a connected domain is an independent metal chip; the geometric center of each connected domain is calculated as a coordinate point based on a three-dimensional weighted average to generate the precise three-dimensional coordinates r of each metal chip on the terminal surface. obs The precise three-dimensional coordinates are corrected by the curvature gradient to solve the projection error caused by three-dimensional distortion and metal chip tilt in the curved area, and the equivalent conductive area of ​​the metal chip in the actual working state is accurately quantified.

[0120]

[0121] Where r real is the corrected three-dimensional coordinate of the metal chip; κ is the curvature value at the precise three-dimensional coordinate of the metal chip; τ is the correction coefficient used to adjust the compensation strength of the curvature gradient, which is determined by experiment; is the depth gradient vector at the precise three-dimensional coordinates of the metal chips.

[0122] Then, the light intensity distribution along the depth direction z is extracted from the reconstructed metal chip volume data, and the vertical projection component of the metal chip is calculated. Then, the normal vector inclination compensation is introduced to generate the equivalent conductive area of ​​the metal chip, that is:

[0123]

[0124] Where A eff is the equivalent conductive area of ​​metal chips; V(z) is the light intensity distribution along the depth direction z; max(V(z)) is the peak light intensity on the surface of the terminal, z max is the depth of the peak position of light intensity. By comparing the two, it reflects the maximum projection density of metal chips in the vertical direction; τ′ is the inclination magnification factor; cos -1 (...) is the arccosine function; is the unit vector in the direction of the absolute optical axis.

[0125] Finally, the three-dimensional risk index of metal chips is calculated based on the equivalent conductive area of ​​the metal chips on the terminal surface, the corrected three-dimensional coordinates, and the reflectance ratio of ultraviolet light and near-infrared light.
