Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The 28V DC contactor is a common power control device, and the working voltage of the contact is generally 28V, and the maximum contact current can reach 1000A or more. When the contactor is subjected to life test, the rated load current is applied to the main contact according to the set on-off cycle to check whether the product meets the design requirements. The conventional test monitoring method is to judge the on-off state of the contact through the indicator light and ammeter. This method is relatively simple, but the observation and judgment ability of the test personnel is required, and the product switching situation needs to be observed in real time. When the product fails, the test intervention needs to be performed manually. In recent years, the more advanced test monitoring method is to use a computer plus a collection board card to control the test. In the case of abnormal monitoring test, the control output is disconnected. This method has high cost, and the control logic of the software is relatively rigid in actual use. Parameters need to be configured for different types of products, and test parameters, protection intervals, etc. need to be set. The operation process is complicated, and the workload of the test personnel is increased. How to use a more concise method to realize the test monitoring of the 28V DC contactor is an urgent problem for technicians in the field. The contactor state monitoring system disclosed in CN220438439U can automatically detect the number of coil attraction of the contactor, as well as the current and voltage of the coil, and then send the detected data to the data processing device in real time through the wireless communication module. The data processing device can monitor the state of the contactor according to the received data, provide reliable analysis and management tools for maintenance personnel, improve maintenance efficiency and reduce failure rate, and reduce labor cost and time cost by using the system. However, the detection is carried out by the voltage and current collection circuit to detect the attraction process of the contactor, and the clock module is used to monitor the attraction time, so that the detection and control system structure is complex, and the cost is increased.

CONCLUSION

[0011] Embodiment 1 As Figure 1 The monitoring device is connected with external equipment through a coil circuit and a load circuit. After the monitoring device is powered on, the device can automatically enter the monitoring state without any operation, judges the working state through real-time acquisition of the coil current and the contact current, and provides test data acquisition and monitoring support for the contactor life test.

[0012] The specific structure of the protection device is as follows: 1 coil current sensor is used for monitoring coil current, 1 contact current sensor is used for monitoring contact current, and contact current information is collected in real time. The data acquisition module communicates with the touch screen in real time through the MODBUS 485 communication protocol, and the touch screen can record and save the coil and contact current information in real time. Through the monitoring logic built in the software, the first three working cycles before the life test starting at any time are calculated in real time, the current working type is judged, and the monitoring state is quickly entered, and the subsequent working cycles are monitored. In the presence of contact bonding, contact disconnection, contact current anomaly, coil current anomaly and other fault modes, according to the severity of the fault consequences, the switch output module is driven to issue corresponding instructions, such as issuing an alarm prompt, disconnecting the coil, and cutting off the load.

[0013] The coil current sensor is used for monitoring the coil current, judging the working state of the coil and the current stability. 2, the contact current sensor: the contact current sensor is used for monitoring the current of the main contact loop, and is used for judging the on-off state of the contact and the current stability. 3, data acquisition module: data exchange is carried out with the touch screen interface through MODBUS 485 communication protocol, and data acquisition information is transmitted in real time. 4, touch screen: the working state is displayed in real time through the man-machine interface, which is the software control core of the monitoring device, and communicates with the acquisition module and the output module in real time, records the coil current and contact current information collected in real time, and saves them in the storage area. The system can judge the coil current and contact current information under standby condition, calculate the first three working cycles before the life test starting at any time in real time, that is, when the coil current and contact current appear regular cyclic change, the current working type is judged, and the monitoring state is immediately entered. When the contact bonding, contact disconnection, contact current anomaly, coil current anomaly and other fault phenomena occur, the software selects to issue alarm prompt, disconnects the coil, cuts off the load and other operations according to the severity of the fault. When the life test working cycle ends normally, that is, when the coil current and contact current no longer change cyclically, the system automatically returns to standby state. When the test ends normally or the alarm prompt appears in the middle of the test, the device will generate a test summary under the monitoring state of the last round, such as working cycle, coil current range, contact current range, test number, etc. 5, control switch: including coil control switch and load control switch, the coil control switch is used for cutting off the coil loop, and the load control switch is used for cutting off the load loop. 4, DC power supply, DC load and test product: the monitoring device is connected with the test product, DC power supply and load through the coil loop interface and load loop interface, which can realize self-adaptive, uninterrupted and unattended test monitoring, and form a flexible and reliable test monitoring system.

[0014] The life test adaptive monitoring device uses a mobile small cabinet as a device carrier, which is convenient for mobile use. The obvious part above the cabinet is a touch screen interface, which is convenient for human-computer interaction. The device has a coil control switch and a load control switch, which are connected with the peripheral circuit through the coil loop interface and the load loop interface. The external power supply is 220V AC, equipped with a fuse, and the internal 24V DC switching power supply supplies power to the current sensor, input / output module and other devices.
