[0050] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the movable clamping mechanism includes a lifting seat 4, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the seat cavity 24. The lifting seat 4 is connected to the inner wall of the seat cavity 24 through an elastic element 29. A slide rod 13 is slidably connected inside the lifting seat 4.

[0051] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, a friction block 10 is fixedly connected to the clamping bar 5, and the clamping bar 5 is rotatably connected to the lifting seat 4 via a rotating shaft 9.

[0052] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the configuration system includes:

[0053] The menu element library module stores various basic elements used to build main menus and submenus. These basic elements include text elements, enumerated menu elements, and list box elements.

[0054] The menu area layout design module is used to design the layout of the main menu and sub-menus.

[0055] The function configuration module is used to add operation functions to the main menu and sub-menus;

[0056] The power distribution terminal equipment 1 is equipped with:

[0057] The human-computer interaction interface is used by users to operate the power distribution terminal equipment 1 and realize human-computer interaction;

[0058] The menu parsing module is used to parse the menu configuration file sent by the configuration system into a menu system that can actually run and be displayed on the power distribution terminal equipment 1;

[0059] The execution engine module, when the user operates the menu system on the human-machine interface of the power distribution terminal device 1, will quickly call the corresponding API interface according to the operation function added by the function configuration module, thereby realizing various control operations on the power distribution terminal device 1.

[0060] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the menu area layout design module includes a main menu creation module, a sub-menu creation module, and a menu arrangement adjustment module.

[0061] The working principle of power distribution terminal equipment 1 to automatically detect the firmness of the power cable body 3:

[0062] In the initial state, the electromagnet 16 is de-energized, and the servo motor 17 moves to the left limit position under the elastic force of the elastic element 3 19. Gear 1 20 and gear 2 21 mesh, while gear 1 20 does not mesh with gear 3 22. The two rollers 6 are located in front of the wire body 3.

[0063] When it is necessary to check whether the wire body 3 is secure, a wireless connection is established through an external terminal device and a wireless module to remotely control the operation of the camera 30, electromagnet 16 and servo motor 17.

[0064] Camera 30 and servo motor 17 are activated. Camera 30 acquires image data, allowing the user to remotely view the interior of the power distribution chamber 2. Servo motor 17 rotates gear 20, causing the detection seat 23 and slide 25 to move horizontally along slide 25. When the two rollers 6 move to the front of the wire body 3 to be detected, servo motor 17 stops working. Electromagnet 16 is activated to generate magnetic attraction to permanent magnet 18. Permanent magnet 18, servo motor 17, and gear 20 overcome the elastic force of elastic element 19 and move backward. Gear 20 disengages from gear 21, and gear 20 meshes with gear 22. At this time, servo motor 17 is at its rear limit position. When the magnetic force of electromagnet 16 is insufficient to move permanent magnet 15 against the elastic force of elastic element 14, servo motor 17 is activated, causing gear 20 to drive gear 22 to rotate. This causes detection seat 23 to move forward along rack 26. After the two rollers 6 abut against the wire body 3, they continue to move forward. The two rollers 6 move away from each other against the elastic force of elastic element 7, rotating on the wire body 3. When the two rollers 6 move behind the wire body 3, the two clamping bars 5 approach each other under the action of elastic element 7, and the two friction blocks 10 clamp the wire body 3. At this time, the rollers 6 have not yet abutted against the wedge bar 31, and servo motor 17 stops operating. This design allows the two friction blocks 10 to clamp only one wire body 3 even when the gap between all wire bodies 3 is small, preventing accidental clamping of other wire bodies 3. This enables individual detection of only one wire body 3 at a time, improving detection accuracy.

[0065] In order for the two rollers 6 to move away from each other on the flexible wire body 3, the elastic coefficient of the elastic element 7 is small. Therefore, the elastic force of the elastic element 7 alone is not enough to make the two friction blocks 10 generate sufficient clamping force on the wire body 3.

[0066] Increase the magnetic force of electromagnet 16. Servo 17 is already at its rear limit position and will not continue to move. The magnetic attraction of electromagnet 16 attracts permanent magnet 15. Permanent magnet 15, guilloché 11, and ball 12 move forward against the elastic force of elastic element 2 14. Ball 12 pushes the inclined surface of wedge 8, thereby bringing the two clamping strips 5 closer together, thereby increasing the clamping force and friction of the two friction blocks 10 on the wire body 3. Servo 17 is turned on, causing detection seat 23 and two clamping strips 5 to continue to move backward. After roller 6 abuts against the inclined surface of power distribution terminal equipment 1, it moves down along the inclined surface of power distribution terminal equipment 1, thereby driving lifting seat 4 and two friction blocks 10 to move down against the elastic force of elastic element 4 29. The two friction blocks 10 pull on the wire body 3. The camera 30 remotely observes and detects whether the wire body 3 has become loose or fallen off.

[0067] After the inspection of the wire body 3 is completed, the magnetic force of the electromagnet 16 is reduced, the permanent magnet 15 moves backward and resets under the elastic force of the elastic element 2 14, the ball 12 releases its contact with the wedge plate 8, the friction block 10 reduces the clamping force and friction on the wire body 3, the reverse servo motor 17 reverses, the detection seat 23 moves forward and resets, and when the roller 6 moves backward, it first moves up along the inclined surface of the wedge strip 31 under the elastic force of the elastic element 4 29, and then the roller 6 disengages from the wedge strip 31 and continues to move backward to the front of the wire body 3 to complete the reset, so as to facilitate the inspection of the next wire body 3.

[0068] Other wire bodies 3 are tested using the same principle described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] The beneficial effects are as follows:

[0070] With a high degree of automation and reduced on-site human intervention, the power distribution terminal equipment 1 integrates a detection seat 23, a sliding seat 25, a guide rail 27, a camera 30, an electromagnet 16, and a servo motor 17, which work together in coordination. With fewer power components, it can automatically detect the firmness of the wire body 3, avoiding the inefficient method of relying on manual on-site inspection by pulling and visual inspection. The entire detection process can be completed remotely by the system, which is suitable for unattended power distribution substation application scenarios and significantly improves the level of inspection automation.

[0071] With high detection accuracy and low probability of mis-clamping, the movable clamping mechanism composed of roller 6 and friction block 10 completes the clamping action of a single wire body 3 only under the precise control of servo motor 17. The roller 6 structure can ensure that even if the gap between the wire bodies 3 is small, other cables will not be mis-clamped. By applying appropriate clamping force through friction block 10 and combining it with image feedback from camera 30, it can effectively determine whether a single cable is loose or detached. The detection accuracy is significantly better than traditional methods.

[0072] The clamping force is intelligently adjustable to adapt to different wire bodies 3. To solve the problem of insecure clamping of flexible wire bodies 3, the system design adopts a mechanism in which electromagnet 16, permanent magnet 15, guilloché 11, ball bearing 12 and wedge plate 8 work together to control the clamping degree of clamping bar 5. The elastic element 2 14 has a reasonable elastic force setting, which can make the two friction blocks 10 maintain sufficient clamping force while avoiding damage to the wire body 3. It adapts to the clamping requirements of wire bodies 3 of different models and hardness, and has good adaptability and universality.

[0073] Real-time image feedback and convenient remote control are provided. The camera 30 is located on the detection seat 23 and can achieve multi-angle imaging monitoring as it moves with the detection seat 23. It can provide full video monitoring during the process of the roller 6 clamping and pulling the wire body 3. It can cooperate with remote terminal equipment to perform image recognition and judgment, and has good remote intelligent recognition capabilities.

[0074] The detection process can be repeatedly reset and the target wire body 3 can be switched flexibly. After the detection is completed, the detection seat 23 can be reset by reversing the servo motor 17. Combined with the slide 25 and guide rail 27, the overall mechanism is controlled to switch to the front of the next wire body 3 and repeat the above detection process. The overall structural design ensures that the operation process is stable and reliable and the detection process is continuous.

[0075] In traditional power distribution terminal equipment, the menu system is typically a fixed design. Before the equipment leaves the factory, developers write fixed program code for each menu item, hierarchical structure, and corresponding operation instructions based on predetermined functional requirements, and then burn this code into the power distribution terminal equipment. For example, common power distribution terminal equipment menus are designed around basic electrical parameter viewing (such as voltage, current, power, etc.), equipment operating status monitoring (switch status, fault alarms, etc.), and simple parameter settings (communication parameters, sampling period, etc.). Users operate the equipment through the human-machine interface of the power distribution terminal equipment, following the preset menu path to achieve monitoring and management of the equipment.

[0076] The current mainstream power distribution terminal equipment LCD displays adopt a fixed menu architecture, and mainly have the following technical characteristics:

[0077] Hard-coded menu structure: The menu hierarchy is fixed using the C programming language;

[0078] Static configuration method: Requires professional developers to modify the source code, recompile, and re-deploy.

[0079] Functional module binding: Each function option is tightly coupled with the underlying driver;

[0080] Maintenance limitations: Parameter modifications require on-site debugging or remote OTA upgrades.

[0081] The current mainstream power distribution terminal equipment uses a fixed menu architecture for its LCD display, which mainly has the following technical problems:

[0082] Severely limited flexibility: Traditional fixed menu systems struggle to adapt when user business needs change or new functional requirements arise in field applications. For example, during smart grid construction, new monitoring requirements for distributed energy access emerge, but the existing distribution terminal equipment menus lack relevant function entries and operational logic. In such cases, ordinary users cannot modify the menus to meet the new demands and must rely on professional software developers. These developers then need to re-examine the code logic, write new code to implement the new functions, and integrate them into the existing software system—a process that often consumes significant time and effort.

[0083] Poor adaptability: Different power distribution scenarios, such as power grid distribution in bustling urban commercial areas, power grid distribution in remote rural areas, and power distribution in industrial plants with extremely high requirements for power supply reliability, have significantly different functional requirements for power distribution terminal equipment. Urban commercial areas may focus more on refined power quality monitoring, rural areas on the collection of basic electricity data and remote meter reading, while industrial plants emphasize real-time equipment monitoring and rapid fault response. However, fixed menu systems cannot flexibly adjust to these different scenarios, resulting in power distribution terminal equipment either providing too many unnecessary functions, increasing equipment costs and operational complexity, or lacking key functions, failing to meet actual application needs.

[0084] High maintenance costs: Updating or modifying the functionality of power distribution terminal equipment involves redeveloping, testing, and deploying the software. Redevelopment requires developers to deeply understand and modify the existing code, a daunting task for large and complex software systems. Testing necessitates comprehensive testing of new features and their impact on existing functions to ensure software stability and reliability. Deployment may also present compatibility issues with different hardware devices. Furthermore, each software upgrade carries the risk of introducing new software defects, further increasing maintenance costs and system instability.

[0085] A method for dynamic menu management of power distribution terminals based on visual configuration, utilizing a dynamic menu management system for power distribution terminals based on visual configuration for menu management, includes the following steps:

[0086] Step 1: Generate a menu configuration file using the configuration system;

[0087] Step 2: Transfer the menu configuration file to power distribution terminal equipment 1;

[0088] Step 3: The power distribution terminal equipment 1 parses and executes the menu configuration file.

[0089] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, step one includes:

[0090] Users open the configuration system, enter the menu design interface of the menu area layout design module, select appropriate basic elements from the menu element library module according to actual business needs and usage habits, add the basic elements to the menu design area on the menu design interface, and adjust the hierarchical structure and appearance of the basic elements.

[0091] The text elements in the main menu can be selected from one or more of the following: real-time data, inherent parameters, operating parameters, action setpoints, remote signaling monitoring, communication parameters, event logs, calibration coefficients, time settings, and control switches.

[0092] The text elements in the Operation Parameters submenu can be selected from one or more of the following: Telemetry Dead Zone Setting, Telemetry Over-Limit Setting, Calibration Setting, Input / Output Setting, Battery Activation Setting, Telemetry Zero Drift Setting, Oscilloscope Parameter Setting, Time Synchronization Setting, and Other Settings.

[0093] When designing menus, users can easily add them to the menu design interface by simply selecting the required basic elements from the element library module. For example, users can create a main menu and add multiple sub-menus under it, and can also freely adjust the display order and arrangement of each main menu and sub-menu to meet personalized usage habits and business needs.

[0094] Using the function configuration module, users can configure the specific operation functions of the main menu and sub-menus in detail. After configuration, users can save the entire configuration result as a menu configuration file in a specific format. The menu configuration file records all hierarchical structure information, appearance style information and operation function configuration information of the main menu and sub-menus.

[0095] For example, for the "Real-time Data" menu item, users can configure its corresponding operation function through the function configuration module to call the voltage data reading API interface of the power distribution terminal device 1, so that clicking the "Real-time Data" menu item will allow real-time acquisition and display of voltage data. Similarly, for the "Control Switch" menu item, it can be configured to call the corresponding switch control API interface to realize remote control of the switch operation of the power distribution terminal device 1.

[0096] Menu configuration file generation process:

[0097] Open the configuration system and create a new configuration project;

[0098] Add menu items;

[0099] If the menu item is a multi-level menu, continue adding menu items;

[0100] If the menu item is not a multi-level menu, then edit the menu item functionality;

[0101] If the menu item function is a multi-functional item, continue editing the menu item function;

[0102] If the menu item is not a multi-functional item, save and generate a menu configuration file in JSON format.

[0103] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, step two includes: the user transmitting the menu configuration file to the power distribution terminal equipment 1 via wired transmission.

[0104] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the wired transmission includes either a Universal Serial Bus interface for fast data transmission or an Ethernet interface for stable network transmission.

[0105] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, step two includes: the user wirelessly transmitting the menu configuration file to the power distribution terminal device 1.

[0106] In one optional embodiment of the invention, the wireless transmission includes short-range data transmission using Bluetooth technology.

[0107] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step three includes: after the power distribution terminal device 1 successfully receives the menu configuration file, the built-in menu parsing module and execution engine module start working. The menu parsing module first parses the menu configuration file, converting the design information and operation function information of the main menu and sub-menu layout in the menu configuration file into an actual operable menu system, and displays the menu system on the human-machine interface of the power distribution terminal device 1. When the user operates on the menu on the human-machine interface, the execution engine module will quickly call the corresponding API interface according to the operation function added by the function configuration module, thereby realizing various control operations on the power distribution terminal device 1, such as data query, equipment parameter adjustment and equipment status control, so as to realize the user's flexible control and management of the power distribution terminal device 1.

[0108] The process of parsing the menu configuration file by the menu parsing module of power distribution terminal equipment 1:

[0109] Receive new menu configuration file;

[0110] Load the menu configuration file and perform encoding conversion;

[0111] If loading or conversion fails, the process ends.

[0112] If loading and conversion are both successful, then parse the main menu, sub-menus, and operation functions;

[0113] If a parsing error occurs, the process ends.

[0114] If the parsing is correct, then create a linked list management and backtracking menu;

[0115] If creation fails, the process ends.

[0116] If the creation is successful, the new menu will be loaded and displayed.

[0117] This invention has significant advantages over traditional solutions:

[0118] Significantly improved configuration flexibility: Traditional systems require manual coding to preset the menu structure, and any structural changes require recompiling the firmware. In contrast, this invention allows for dynamic adjustment of the hierarchy, structure, and content of the main menu and sub-menus through a visual interface, enabling rapid customization and real-time preview of the menu structure.

[0119] Configuration efficiency is improved exponentially: In actual application scenarios, the complex menu configuration task that originally required professional engineers to spend several hours to complete manually can be greatly reduced in time by using the configuration system of this invention. The time for complex menu configuration can be reduced to 1 / 5 of the original method.

[0120] The error rate is significantly reduced: Traditional coding modes are prone to configuration errors due to structural chaos or human negligence. However, this invention adopts a modular component drag-and-drop and graphical process verification mechanism, which significantly reduces human error. According to actual tests, the configuration error rate has dropped from 12.7% to 0.3%, effectively ensuring system stability.

[0121] Supports diverse transmission methods and platform compatibility: This invention supports transmitting menu configuration files to power distribution terminal equipment 1 via multiple methods such as USB, Ethernet, and Bluetooth, and has good cross-platform compatibility, adapting to different communication scenarios and deployment environments;

[0122] Enhanced remote maintenance capabilities and improved update efficiency: Menu configuration files can be remotely pushed to terminal devices, and the device side automatically parses and loads the new menu system, realizing remote hot updates of the interface of power distribution terminal device 1. According to actual tests, the hot update success rate reached 99.97%, which greatly reduced operation and maintenance costs and the frequency of on-site operations.

[0123] It has strong functional scalability and can adapt to various business needs: it supports multi-function item binding, API interface abstraction, and complex interaction logic settings, which can meet the differentiated configuration of power distribution terminal equipment in different regions and scenarios. It is especially suitable for diverse business scenarios such as new power systems, distributed energy management, and smart parks.
