Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power detection technology, and in particular to a wire clamp fault monitoring device and method. Background Technology

[0002] As power systems continue to expand in scale and become increasingly complex, monitoring the operational status of power equipment has become a crucial link in ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid. As an important connecting component in power transmission, the temperature and load changes of line clamps directly affect the safety and transmission efficiency of the lines. Excessive temperature can lead to clamp aging, poor contact, and even serious accidents such as fires and line breaks. Line breaks can cause power outages, trigger secondary faults, threaten the safety of personnel and equipment, and disrupt the stability of the power grid structure.

[0003] Currently, manual inspection is one of the main methods for monitoring clamp temperature. However, manual inspection has the following problems: (1) Low efficiency: The inspection cycle is long, making it difficult to achieve real-time monitoring, especially for power transmission networks with wide spans and complex distribution. (2) Insufficient data accuracy: Due to the influence of subjective factors of personnel, measurement angle, ambient light, etc., the measurement results are inconsistent. (3) Blind spots exist: Inspection is difficult in areas with complex terrain (such as mountainous areas), the monitoring frequency of some clamps is reduced, and safety hazards are difficult to detect in time. Therefore, the existing technology urgently needs an intelligent clamp fault monitoring device and method to solve the problems in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wire clamp fault monitoring device and method.

[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a wire clamp fault monitoring device is provided, the device including a main control module, a charge / discharge management module, a power supply system, a temperature acquisition module, a magnetic field acquisition module, and a communication module; wherein, the power supply system includes a lithium-ion capacitor and a lithium-ion battery; The charge / discharge management module is electrically connected to both the lithium-ion capacitor and the lithium-ion battery. The module enables the lithium-ion capacitor to supply power when its voltage exceeds that of the lithium-ion battery, and to switch to the lithium-ion battery when its voltage is lower than that of the lithium-ion battery. The charge / discharge management module is electrically connected to the temperature acquisition module, the magnetic field acquisition module, and the main control module, respectively. The charge / discharge management module supplies power to the temperature acquisition module, the magnetic field acquisition module, and the main control module; the temperature acquisition module acquires the temperature information of the wire clamp; and the magnetic field acquisition module acquires the magnetic field signal of the wire clamp. The main control module is electrically connected to the communication module. The main control module determines the fault information of the clamp and the reporting cycle based on temperature information and magnetic field signals, and sends the relevant information to the corresponding network device when the reporting cycle is reached.

[0006] According to another aspect of this application, a method for monitoring wire clamp faults using a wire clamp fault monitoring device is provided, characterized in that the wire clamp fault monitoring device includes the wire clamp fault monitoring device as described in any of the above claims, and the method includes: The voltage amplitude corresponding to each frequency component is extracted from the magnetic field signal by using Fast Fourier Transform; The fault information of the clamp is determined by fitting the current line current and temperature information based on the voltage amplitude corresponding to each frequency component.

[0007] According to another aspect of this application, a computer device is provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program capable of being loaded by the processor and executing the methods described above is stored in the memory.

[0008] According to another aspect of this application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, storing a computer program that can be loaded by a processor and executed as described above.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the wire clamp fault monitoring device of this application includes a main control module, a charge / discharge management module, a power supply system, a temperature acquisition module, a magnetic field acquisition module, and a communication module. The power supply system provides power to the device. The power supply system includes lithium-ion capacitors and lithium-ion batteries, with the lithium-ion battery serving as a backup battery. The charge / discharge management module controls power supply by switching from lithium-ion capacitors when the lithium-ion capacitor voltage exceeds the lithium-ion battery voltage, and switching to lithium-ion battery power when the lithium-ion capacitor voltage is lower than the lithium-ion battery voltage. The magnetic field acquisition module acquires the magnetic field signal of the wire clamp to analyze and obtain the load information of the wire clamp. The fault type of the wire clamp is monitored by comprehensively considering the temperature and load information. The main control module determines the fault type and reporting cycle of the wire clamp based on the temperature information and magnetic field signal. While monitoring the fault type of the wire clamp in real time, the reporting cycle is dynamically adjusted based on the fault type. This real-time monitoring of the fault type saves the device's power, thereby extending the device's operating time.

[0010] Furthermore, the power supply system also includes amorphous silicon photovoltaic panels, which charge lithium-ion capacitors. The power supply scheme employs amorphous silicon photovoltaic panels, lithium-ion capacitors, and lithium-ion batteries. The voltage characteristics of amorphous silicon photovoltaic panels are determined by the material's bandgap, pn junction structure, and series design, and are less dependent on area. Therefore, high voltage can be achieved even with a small area, meeting the system's power supply voltage requirement of greater than 3V. Lithium-ion capacitors have an energy density 2 to 5 times that of supercapacitors, storing more energy in the same volume. Furthermore, due to their slow discharge characteristic, lithium-ion capacitors can provide energy to the system for a longer period, extending the overall system lifespan.

[0019] In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.

[0020] refer to Figure 1This invention provides a wire clamp fault monitoring device, comprising a main control module 4, a charge / discharge management module 1, a power supply system, a temperature acquisition module 5, a magnetic field acquisition module 6, and a communication module 41. The power supply system includes a lithium-ion capacitor 3 and a lithium-ion battery 2. The charge / discharge management module 1 is electrically connected to both the lithium-ion capacitor 3 and the lithium-ion battery 2. The module 1 supplies power to the lithium-ion capacitor 3 when its voltage exceeds that of the lithium-ion battery 2, and switches to the lithium-ion battery 2 when its voltage is lower. The charge / discharge management module 1 is electrically connected to the temperature acquisition module 5, the magnetic field acquisition module 6, and the main control module 4, supplying power to all three modules. The temperature acquisition module 5 acquires the temperature information of the wire clamp, and the magnetic field acquisition module 6 acquires the magnetic field signal of the wire clamp. The main control module 4 is electrically connected to the communication module 41. Based on the temperature information and the magnetic field signal, the main control module 4 determines the fault type and reporting cycle of the wire clamp, and sends the relevant information to the corresponding network device when the reporting cycle is reached. In some embodiments, the main control module 4 includes, but is not limited to, an MCU chip with an integrated radio frequency core. Temperature information and magnetic field signals are collected by the temperature acquisition module 5 and the magnetic field acquisition module 6 and transmitted to the MCU chip. The MCU chip stores and processes the data and then transmits it wirelessly to the edge aggregation terminal via 433MHz. In this embodiment, the MCU and the radio frequency core (e.g., a communication module) responsible for wireless transmission are integrated into a single chip, avoiding the need for external circuitry and saving layout space and hardware costs. Real-time monitoring and remote display of clamp fault types are achieved, eliminating the need for regular manual inspections. This solves many drawbacks of traditional manual inspections and reduces the pressure on maintenance and inspection. In some embodiments, specifically, an SCM326 chip can be used as the main control module 4. The SCM326 chip integrates a Cortex-M0 core and a wireless radio frequency core into a QFN60 package, realizing the functions of main control and wireless communication, reducing the number of components and shrinking the circuit layout space. In some embodiments, the lithium-ion battery 2 in the power supply system serves as a backup battery. The charge and discharge management module 1 controls whether the device is powered by the lithium-ion capacitor 3 or by the lithium-ion battery 2. In some embodiments, the charge / discharge management module 1 is electrically connected to the temperature acquisition module 5, the magnetic field acquisition module 6, and the main control module 4, respectively. The charge / discharge management module 1 supplies power to the temperature acquisition module 5, the magnetic field acquisition module 6, and the main control module 4; the temperature acquisition module 5 acquires the temperature information of the clamp; and the magnetic field acquisition module 6 acquires the magnetic field signal of the clamp. For detailed descriptions of the charge / discharge management module 1, the power supply system, the temperature acquisition module 5, and the magnetic field acquisition module 6, please refer to the corresponding embodiments below; they will not be repeated here. In some embodiments, the specific model of the lithium-ion capacitor 3 includes SLA3R8L2060813.The specific model of the lithium-thionyl chloride battery 2 includes ER14250. In some embodiments, the device also includes an RTC (timer module). For example, the main control module 4 is normally in a low-power sleep state. After being woken up by the internal RTC at regular intervals, it turns on the power to the temperature acquisition module 5 and communicates with and acquires data from the temperature acquisition module 5. At the same time, the magnetic field acquisition module 6 is turned on, and the output signal of the magnetic field acquisition module 6 is acquired by the ADC on the main control module 4. The main control module 4 uses a fast Fourier transform to extract the fundamental and harmonic components of the current for data storage and fault type identification. In some embodiments, the relevant information includes, but is not limited to, fault type, temperature information, magnetic field signal, and other data information.

[0021] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The power supply system also includes an amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel 7, which charges the lithium-ion capacitor 3. The charge / discharge management module 1 is also electrically connected to the amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel. In this embodiment, a power supply scheme consisting of an amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel 7, a lithium-ion capacitor 3, and a lithium-ion battery 2 is adopted. The voltage characteristics of the amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel 7 are determined by the material's bandgap, pn junction structure, and series design, and are less related to the area. Therefore, a small area can achieve high voltage, meeting the system's power supply voltage requirement of greater than 3V. The energy density of the lithium-ion capacitor 3 is 2 to 5 times that of a supercapacitor. It can store more energy in the same volume, and due to its slow discharge characteristic, the lithium-ion capacitor 3 can provide energy to the system for a longer time, thus providing a longer service life for the entire system. In this embodiment, the amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel 7, the lithium-ion capacitor 3, and the lithium-ion battery 2 are electrically connected to the charge / discharge management module 1, which controls and manages the charge and discharge processes. For a detailed description of the charge / discharge management module 1, please refer to the corresponding embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.

[0022] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2The charge / discharge management module 1 includes a power supply input circuit and a power supply output circuit, which are connected via a power input node VCC_IN. The power supply input circuit includes an amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel interface P3, a lithium-ion battery interface BAT1, a first Schottky diode D3, a second Schottky diode D1, and a first voltage regulator chip U2. The amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel supplies power to the power input node VCC_IN through the first Schottky diode D3 and the first voltage regulator chip U2. The lithium-ion capacitor is connected in parallel with the power input node VCC_IN for energy storage. The lithium-ion battery is connected in parallel with the lithium-ion capacitor through the second Schottky diode D1. When the voltage of the lithium-ion capacitor is lower than that of the lithium-ion battery, the lithium-ion battery is powered on. In some embodiments, the Schottky diode can specifically be an MBR0530T1G, and the first voltage regulator chip can specifically be a linear voltage regulator chip CJ6101A39M. The amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel achieves all-weather charging and energy storage for the lithium-ion capacitor through the charge / discharge management module. The entire device is designed for ultra-low power consumption. During prolonged charging, it is necessary to maintain the energy storage of the lithium-ion capacitor at or below its rated operating voltage. Therefore, this embodiment uses the ultra-low power linear regulator chip CJ6101A39M to control the maximum voltage of the lithium-ion capacitor at around 3.9V, ensuring the safe and long-life operation of the lithium-ion capacitor.

[0023] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2The power supply output circuit includes a second voltage regulator chip U1, a capacitor C5, and a lithium-ion capacitor 3. The lithium-ion capacitor 3 is connected in parallel with capacitor C5 and electrically connected to the power input node VCC_IN and the second voltage regulator chip U1, respectively. In some embodiments, the second voltage regulator chip U1 can specifically be a linear voltage regulator chip H7230-1. For example, due to the unidirectional conductivity of diodes, when the voltage of the lithium-ion capacitor charged by the amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel exceeds the voltage of the backup lithium-ion battery, the circuit is powered by the lithium-ion capacitor. After being regulated to 3V by the linear voltage regulator chip H7230-1, it provides power to the overall system. When there are consecutive cloudy or rainy days, and the amorphous silicon photovoltaic panel cannot provide sufficient energy, causing the voltage of the lithium-ion capacitor to be lower than the voltage of the backup lithium-ion battery, the circuit automatically switches to power from the backup lithium-ion battery, which is also regulated by the linear voltage regulator chip H7230-1 before providing power to the overall system. The overall system power consumption is controlled within 0.075mAh. In some embodiments, the lithium-ion capacitor SLA3R8L2060813 has a storage capacity of 10mAh (3.8V-2.5V). Due to adjustments by the charge / discharge management module, power is only supplied when the lithium-ion capacitor voltage is higher than the backup lithium battery voltage (e.g., 3.6V). The discharge curve of the lithium-ion capacitor is nearly linear (voltage decreases approximately uniformly with capacity release), meaning the relationship between voltage drop and capacity release is more closely proportional. In other words, ideally, the voltage change is directly proportional to the capacity release. The lithium-ion capacitor can release approximately 2.3mAh of energy between 3.9V and 3.6V, enough for the system to operate continuously for 30 hours. Therefore, under sufficient sunlight during the day, the system can be fully powered by the lithium-ion capacitor at night. Assuming a predominantly cloudy or rainy year, accounting for approximately 30% of the year (122 days), and assuming, in the extreme case, 122 consecutive cloudy or rainy days, during which the system is entirely powered by the backup lithium-ion battery (ER14250) with a capacity of 1200mAh, the battery, combined with photovoltaic power generation, can provide power for 5.4 years. It meets the industry standard of 5 years of continuous working life.

[0024] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The temperature acquisition module includes a T-type thermocouple P1 and a thermocouple acquisition chip U4. The measuring end of the T-type thermocouple P1 is fixed to a wire clamp, and the cold end of the T-type thermocouple P1 is connected to the circuit board and then connected to the thermocouple acquisition chip U4 via internal wiring. The thermocouple acquisition chip U4 communicates with the main control module via a bus. In some embodiments, the thermocouple acquisition chip U4 can specifically be a MAX31850 chip, which communicates with the MCU via a 1-Wire bus to complete the measurement.

[0025] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4The magnetic field acquisition module includes a magnetic field sensor U7 and a differential operational amplifier U8. The magnetic field sensor U7 acquires the magnetic field signal from the wire clamp, and the differential operational amplifier U8 amplifies the signal before transmitting it to the main control module. In some embodiments, the specific model of the magnetic field sensor U7 includes, but is not limited to, TMR2583S, and the specific model of the differential operational amplifier U8 includes, but is not limited to, AD8206. For example, the magnetic field sensor TMR2583S and the differential operational amplifier AD8206 serve as the magnetic field strength acquisition module. The output signal of the TMR2583S is a millivolt-level differential voltage, which needs to be amplified by the high-precision differential operational amplifier AD8206 before being transmitted to the MCU. The MCU uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to extract the fundamental and harmonic components of the current, thereby analyzing the load change trend.

[0026] Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating a method for monitoring clamp faults using a clamp fault monitoring device according to another embodiment of this application is shown, wherein the clamp fault monitoring device includes the clamp fault monitoring device of any of the above embodiments. The method includes steps S11 and S12. In step S11, the voltage amplitude corresponding to each frequency component is extracted from the magnetic field signal using a fast Fourier transform; in step S12, the fault type and reporting period of the clamp are determined based on the voltage amplitude corresponding to each frequency component and temperature information. In some embodiments, the fault type includes, but is not limited to, clamp overload, poor contact, arcing, motor failure, etc. For the specific determination process of the fault type and reporting period, please refer to the corresponding embodiments below, which will not be repeated here.

[0027] In some embodiments, the frequency components include the fundamental frequency. Determining the fault type and reporting cycle of the clamp based on the voltage amplitude and temperature information corresponding to each frequency component includes: fitting the current fundamental current of the line based on the voltage amplitude corresponding to the fundamental frequency; if the fundamental current is greater than a first target threshold and the temperature rise rate is greater than a rate threshold, determining the fault type as clamp overload, and the reporting cycle as the first cycle; if the fundamental current is within a target range and the temperature information is greater than a second target threshold, determining the fault type as poor contact, and the reporting cycle as the second cycle; if the fundamental current amplitude is greater than a third target threshold and the local temperature difference is greater than a fourth target threshold, determining the fault type as electric arc, and the reporting cycle as the second cycle; if the proportion of the third harmonic is greater than a target percentage and the temperature rise rate is within a target rate range, determining the fault type as a nonlinear load alarm, and the reporting cycle as the third cycle. In some embodiments, the relationship between the first cycle, the second cycle, and the third cycle includes: second cycle < first cycle < third cycle. For example, the first cycle includes, but is not limited to, 1 minute; the second cycle includes, but is not limited to, 30 seconds; and the third cycle includes, but is not limited to, 5 minutes. In some embodiments, if no fault type exists, a fourth cycle is used for reporting. For example, the fourth cycle includes 1 hour, with relevant information reported every hour (e.g., the relevant information includes, but is not limited to, temperature information collected by the temperature acquisition module and magnetic field signals collected by the magnetic field acquisition module). In some embodiments, clamp overload is usually caused by long-term overcapacity operation of the clamp; poor clamp contact is usually caused by local overheating due to loose bolts; electric arc is usually caused by insulation breakdown or contact sparks; nonlinear load alarm is usually caused by third harmonics generated by nonlinear equipment such as single-phase rectifier equipment and arc-type loads. In some embodiments, temperature acquisition modules can be set at multiple locations of the clamp to collect temperature information at multiple locations of the clamp. Local temperature difference includes, but is not limited to, the difference between the temperature information of two locations. In this embodiment, the clamp fault monitoring device monitors the clamp fault type in real time. Furthermore, the reporting cycle is dynamically adjusted based on the fault type, saving energy and power while meeting the emergency needs of different fault types. For example, if no fault type is detected, the clamp fault monitoring device reports relevant information every hour (e.g., temperature information, magnetic field signals, etc. collected within that hour). If an overload fault is detected, relevant information (such as temperature, magnetic field signal, and overload fault type) will be reported every 30 seconds. If the overload fault is cleared, the system will automatically resume reporting relevant information every hour.

[0028] Figure 6A schematic diagram of the main control module according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The main control module includes a primary module and a secondary module. The primary module is used to extract the voltage amplitude corresponding to each frequency component from the magnetic field signal through a fast Fourier transform. The secondary module is used to determine the fault information of the clamp based on the voltage amplitude corresponding to each frequency component and temperature information.
