Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire safety, and in particular to a device for testing the heat dissipation performance of power transmission lines under outdoor power conditions. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of power transmission line heat dissipation performance testing, existing technologies mainly fall into two categories: laboratory simulation tests and on-site operational data acquisition.

[0003] 1. Laboratory simulation tests conduct conductor heat dissipation tests by artificially controlling test conditions such as wind speed, temperature, and humidity, while on-site operation data collection relies on data such as current, temperature, and meteorological information obtained during the actual operation of transmission lines. Although laboratory simulation tests can control test conditions, they differ from real outdoor meteorological conditions (such as solar radiation, natural wind direction changes, and air pressure fluctuations), resulting in a large deviation between the test results and the heat dissipation characteristics of conductors under actual operating conditions, making it difficult to fully reflect the heat dissipation situation in the outdoor environment.

[0004] 2. On-site operation monitoring not only cannot adjust the conductor current carrying capacity under controlled conditions, but also the conductor operating environment is uncontrollable, making it difficult to systematically acquire and compare heat dissipation performance data under different meteorological conditions. At the same time, existing outdoor testing devices can usually only passively monitor the conductor operating status and lack the ability to actively apply controllable current carrying capacity in real outdoor environments and simultaneously and accurately collect conductor temperature and environmental parameters to evaluate heat dissipation performance.

[0005] In summary, the existing methods for testing the performance of conductors under test in real-world environments are not repeatable, which means that the experimental results cannot provide practical and reliable test data support for the verification of new conductor materials, the evaluation of capacity expansion of operating lines, and the study of conductor heat dissipation mechanisms.

[0006] In other words, there is a lack of existing devices for testing the heat dissipation performance of power transmission lines that can comprehensively collect environmental parameters and conductor temperature under real outdoor conditions and current-carrying conditions, and evaluate the heat dissipation performance.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0027] The terminology used in this invention is that which is currently widely used in the art in consideration of the function of the invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent of those skilled in the art, precedent, or new technology in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the invention. Therefore, the terms used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on their meanings and the overall description of the invention.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a device for testing the heat dissipation performance of power transmission lines under outdoor power conditions, including a test conductor 1 and a fixing member 2 that clamps both ends of the test conductor 1; the test conductor 1 is connected in series with a current-carrying module 3 and electrically connected to a control module 4; the current-carrying module 3 can apply a set current to the test conductor 1, and the control module 4 is used to monitor the experimental data of the test conductor 1 in real time.

[0029] Furthermore, it also includes an environmental parameter acquisition module 5, which is electrically connected to the control module 4. The environmental parameter acquisition module 5 is mounted on the fixing component 2 via a connecting rod and is used to collect environmental data during the experiment and upload it to the control module 4. The environmental parameter acquisition module 5 includes an anemometer, a temperature and humidity sensor, a solar radiation sensor, and a barometer. It should be noted that all sensor data is uploaded to the control module 4 for real-time recording and is correlated with the wire temperature data.

[0030] Furthermore, at least one temperature sensor 6 is provided along the length and circumference of the surface of the conductor 1 under test. The temperature sensor 6 is used to collect the temperature distribution data of the conductor 1 under test in real time. At the same time, it can be combined with an infrared thermal imaging system to monitor the temperature of the entire surface.

[0031] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 The current-carrying module 3 includes an adjustable DC or AC power supply, which can apply a set current to the conductor to achieve current-carrying heating under actual operating conditions. It should be noted that the current value and waveform can be preset or adjusted in real time in the control system, and is equipped with current and voltage sensors to monitor the conductor 1 under test in real time.

[0032] Furthermore, the fixing component 2 includes a movable platform 21, a support frame 22 disposed on the movable platform 21, and a wire clamping and energizing block 23 disposed at the end of the support frame 22; a current connector 24 is disposed on the side wall of the support frame 22. A universal locking wheel is disposed at the bottom end of the movable platform 21.

[0033] Furthermore, the wire clamping and energizing block 23 has a built-in connecting wire, and the clamping plates of the wire clamping and energizing block 23 are made of conductive material. The two ends of the connecting wire are connected to the current connector 24 and the clamping plates, respectively. The two ends of the wire to be tested 1 are connected to the wire clamping and energizing block 23 through the clamping plates. By clamping the wire to be tested 1 with the clamping plates on the wire clamping and energizing block 23, the wire to be tested 1 can be fixed and a certain tension can be maintained to ensure the stability of the wire shape during the test.

[0034] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 The current-carrying module 3 and the control module 4 are both located on the inner wall of the mobile test vehicle 7. A display module is also located on the outer wall of the mobile test vehicle 7. The display module is electrically connected to the control module 4.

[0035] Furthermore, the current-carrying module 3 is connected to the current connector 24 via the current-carrying coil 31. The current-carrying coil 31 is wrapped around the outer wall of the take-up shaft 32. A fixed shaft passes through the inner wall of the take-up shaft 32. The fixed shaft is connected to the inner wall of the mobile test vehicle 7. The take-up shaft 32 can rotate along the outer wall of the fixed shaft. The take-up shaft 32 is used to take up and put away the current-carrying coil 31. The surface of the mobile test vehicle 7 is coated with insulating paint for waterproofing, dustproofing, lightning protection, and electric shock protection. The bottom of the mobile vehicle is connected to universal locking wheels.

[0036] In some implementations, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The side wall of the mobile station 21 is provided with a snap-fit ​​connector 8, which is used to connect two sets of mobile stations 21 together, and to connect the mobile station 21 to the mobile test vehicle 7.

[0037] Furthermore, the connector 8 includes a connecting shaft 81 disposed on the side wall of the mobile stage 21 and a plug block 82 disposed on the other side wall of the mobile stage 21. The plug block 82 has a plug groove. When the connecting shaft 81 is inserted into the plug groove, it can connect two sets of mobile stages 21. The two side walls of the mobile test vehicle 7 are respectively provided with a connecting shaft 81 and a plug block 82 for connecting with the mobile stage 21.

[0038] It should be noted that existing technologies for testing the heat dissipation performance of transmission lines mainly fall into two categories: laboratory simulation tests and on-site operational data acquisition. While laboratory tests can better control test conditions (such as wind speed, temperature, and humidity), the results deviate from actual outdoor weather conditions, making it difficult to fully reflect the heat dissipation characteristics of the conductors in outdoor environments.

[0039] On-site operation monitoring relies on actual operating data of transmission lines (such as current, temperature, and meteorological information). However, in most cases, it is difficult to adjust the current carrying capacity of conductors under controlled conditions, and the operating environment of conductors is uncontrollable, making it difficult to systematically acquire and compare heat dissipation performance data under different meteorological conditions. The key issue is that existing outdoor testing devices can generally only passively monitor the operating status of conductors and lack the ability to actively apply controllable current carrying capacity in real outdoor environments and simultaneously and accurately collect conductor temperature and environmental parameters to evaluate heat dissipation performance.

[0040] Our invention connects the current-carrying module 3 in series with the conductor 1 under test, and simultaneously sets an environmental parameter acquisition module 5 on the moving stage 21 that holds the conductor 1. Both the environmental parameter acquisition module 5 and the current-carrying module 3 are electrically connected to the control module 4. This allows the testing device to directly measure the heat dissipation performance of transmission lines in a real outdoor environment under energized current-carrying conditions, and simultaneously acquire test results under real meteorological conditions (wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, solar irradiance, etc.). Furthermore, the experiment can be repeated, making the test results more closely reflect real-world operating conditions. The control module 4 integrates data acquisition and analysis, enabling efficient acquisition of conductor heat dissipation performance parameters under different environmental conditions. This invention is suitable for various applications such as new conductor material verification, operational line capacity expansion assessment, and conductor heat dissipation mechanism research.

[0041] Workflow: First, select a suitable length of test lead 1 according to the testing requirements. Fix both ends of the test lead 1 to the conductive clamping plates of the wire clamping and energizing block 23 at the ends of the support frame 22, ensuring a firm clamping and maintaining a certain tension to ensure dimensional stability. Simultaneously, through the connecting wires built into the energizing block 23, an electrical connection is formed between the test lead 1 and the current connector 24 on the side wall of the support frame 22. It should be noted that if it is necessary to expand the testing range or adjust the fixed position, multiple sets of moving stages 21 can be connected using the snap-fit ​​8 on the side wall of the moving stage 21 (inserting the connecting shaft 81 of one set of moving stages 21 into the insertion slot of the insertion block 82 of another set of moving stages 21).

[0042] Then, the current-carrying coil 31 of the current-carrying module 3 in the mobile test vehicle 7 is adjusted to a suitable length by rotating the take-up shaft 32 and connected to the current connector 24 of the fixing part 2, so that the wire under test 1 and the current-carrying module 3 form a series circuit. Then, the control module 4 in the mobile test vehicle 7 is started, and a current of a set size and waveform is applied to the wire under test 1 through the adjustable power supply of the current-carrying module 3 to simulate the current-carrying heating under the actual operating state of the wire. At the same time, the environmental parameter acquisition module 5 (including wind speed and direction meter, temperature and humidity sensor, solar radiation sensor and barometer) is turned on, so that it can collect outdoor environmental data such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity, solar radiation intensity and air pressure in real time, and upload the data to the control module 4.

[0043] At this time, the temperature sensors 6 set along the length and circumference of the surface of the conductor 1 under test will also collect the temperature distribution data of the conductor and transmit it to the control module 4. During the test, the current parameters (set current, real-time current, current curve, etc.), conductor temperature data and environmental parameters (external ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, irradiance, etc.) can be viewed in real time through the display module on the outer wall of the mobile test vehicle 7.

[0044] The control module 4 will record and analyze all the collected data in real time. If testing is required in different outdoor locations, the mobile test vehicle 7 and the universal locking wheel at the bottom of the mobile platform 21 can be used to move the device. After arriving at the test location, the universal wheel can be locked to repeat the above operation and complete the test of the heat dissipation performance of the wire 1 under different environmental conditions.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of the present invention.
