Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of electricity, and particularly relates to a modular intelligent circuit breaker. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a basic circuit protection device, the circuit breaker is widely used in power distribution systems at all levels from civil buildings to industrial power grids. Its core function is to quickly and reliably cut off the current when Overload, Short-Circuit and other faults occur in the circuit to protect the subsequent lines and electrical equipment.
[0003] With the rapid development of Internet of Things and smart grid technologies, the functional requirements of the circuit breaker have expanded from single protection to state monitoring, data interaction, remote control and intelligent operation and maintenance in multiple dimensions. Currently, the smart circuit breakers on the market mainly include two types: One is an integrated architecture, that is, all electronic function units such as measurement, protection, communication and control are packaged together with the mechanical operating mechanism in a fixed housing. When any function unit (such as a touch display screen or a communication module) in the system fails, it may cause the entire circuit breaker to shut down, resulting in poor maintainability.
[0004] The second is a simple modular architecture, but most of them still stay at the initial stage of physically separating electronic function units from mechanical mechanisms. The main processor is usually unique and centralized in a certain module. Once the communication bus between the main processor and the module is delayed or interrupted due to interference or other reasons, even if the measurement module has detected a serious fault current, the entire system will lose its protection capability due to the failure to issue a trip command in time, and the system lacks scalability and flexibility, which may also pose a serious safety hazard.
[0005] In summary, the current smart circuit breaker generally adopts a centralized processing architecture, which makes it highly dependent on a single main processor and communication bus. Once the main processor fails or the communication link is delayed or blocked, even if the fault has been detected by the module, the system cannot execute the trip command in time, thus existing inherent safety risks of protection failure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the protection scope of the present application.
[0018] It should be noted that, in the description of the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0019] To solve this problem, please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a modular intelligent circuit breaker, which comprises a base and a core function module pluggably assembled on the base, and the core function module comprises: a main control communication module integrated with a main processor and a communication unit, the main processor being in communication connection with each module through a data bus inside the base to perform data exchange and instruction routing between modules; a measurement and protection module integrated with a current sampling unit, a voltage sampling unit and a sub-processor with a built-in protection algorithm, the sub-processor being configured to process electrical parameters in parallel and make independent tripping decisions by calling the current sampling unit and the voltage sampling unit; an interaction and display module integrated with a touch display screen, a driving end of the touch display screen being connected with the main control communication module for receiving and displaying system status and fault information distributed by the main control communication module; a load control and expansion module integrated with a plurality of programmable relay output interfaces and signal input interfaces for connecting external sensors, a control end of the relay output interface being connected with the main control communication module; and a mechanical operating mechanism module comprising a contact system, an operating mechanism and an integrated state monitoring unit, the state monitoring unit comprising a contact electrical life monitoring circuit and a mechanical property sensor, an output end of the state monitoring unit being connected with the data interface of the measurement and protection module.
[0020] Specifically, the embodiment provides a modular intelligent circuit breaker, the architecture of which comprises a base and a plurality of core function modules pluggably assembled on the base. The base internally pre-buries a data bus and a power distribution network, providing a unified communication channel and power supply for all the modules plugged thereon. The electrical connection between the modules and the base is preferably realized through high-reliability reed contacts or gold finger interfaces to ensure the stability of contact resistance and plugging life.
[0021] In the embodiment, the master communication module serves as the control and information hub of the system, and a high-performance main processor (for example, an ARM Cortex-A series application processor can be used) and a multi-mode communication unit are integrated on the PCB thereof. The communication unit can integrate one or more of an Ethernet PHY chip, a 4G / 5G modem or a LoRa wireless module, for establishing a connection with an external cloud platform or a local gateway.
[0022] The main processor establishes a communication connection with all other modules in the system through the data bus (for example, a CAN FD or high-speed SPI protocol) inside the base. Its main responsibilities are to perform cross-module data exchange (such as collecting measurement data and issuing display information) and instruction routing (such as forwarding remote control commands to the load control module), and to manage the network identity and security policy of the system.
[0023] In the embodiment, the measurement and protection module has a current sampling unit (such as based on a high-precision Hall sensor or a Rogowski coil) and a voltage sampling unit integrated in the hardware thereof, for real-time acquisition of electrical parameters in the power grid line. The core of the module is a sub-processor (for example, an ARM Cortex-M series microcontroller or a dedicated digital signal processor DSP) with a protection algorithm firmware built-in.
[0024] The sub-processor is configured to directly call the data of the current and voltage sampling units, run multiple protection algorithms (such as overcurrent, overload and leakage protection algorithms) in a parallel processing manner, and independently make a tripping decision based on the algorithm results. This "independence" means that the tripping decision logic of the sub-processor does not depend on the instructions of the main processor of the master communication module. Once the tripping condition is met, the sub-processor will directly send a tripping instruction to the mechanical operating mechanism module through a dedicated hardware signal line (not shown in the figure), thereby realizing the highest level of response speed and reliability of the protection function.
[0025] In this embodiment, the interaction and display module provides a local human-machine interface. It integrates a touchscreen display (such as a TFT-LCD screen). The driver of the touchscreen display is connected to the main control communication module via the base's data bus. It does not directly process low-level measurement data, but is dedicated to receiving and displaying system status and fault information distributed by the main control communication module. This information, including real-time current / voltage values, power, alarm records, and system configuration menus, is summarized, formatted, and then sent out by the main processor.
[0026] In this embodiment, the load control and expansion module provides control and signal acquisition capabilities for external devices. It integrates multiple programmable relay output interfaces for controlling the on / off states of loads such as lighting and motors. It also provides signal input interfaces (configurable as digital or analog inputs) for connecting external sensors (such as temperature sensors and magnetic door switches). The control terminal of the relay output interface is connected to the main control communication module via a data bus to receive switching commands from the main processor. These commands can originate from remote control, preset logic, or touch operations from the local interaction module.
[0027] In this embodiment, the mechanical operating mechanism module is the mechanical body that performs circuit switching operations. Specifically, it includes a contact system, an operating mechanism (such as a spring energy storage mechanism), and an integrated status monitoring unit. The status monitoring unit is a key aspect of the invention's intelligence; it includes a contact electrical life monitoring circuit (which estimates wear by monitoring the arc characteristics and contact resistance during contact opening and closing) and mechanical characteristic sensors (such as Hall effect sensors for detecting opening and closing speeds or stress sensors for monitoring operating forces). The output of the status monitoring unit is directly connected to the corresponding data interface of the measurement and protection module via a local data interface (such as UART or ADC), transmitting the collected status data in real time to the subprocessor of the measurement and protection module for health status assessment and predictive maintenance analysis.
[0028] Specifically, during normal operation of the intelligent circuit breaker proposed in this embodiment, the main control communication module acts as the overall coordinator, managing data flow and user commands. The measurement and protection module continuously monitors electrical parameters, but its protection judgment is completely autonomous. When a severe short-circuit fault occurs, the subprocessor of the measurement and protection module will independently complete the judgment within milliseconds and directly command the mechanical operating mechanism module to trip. At the same time, it reports this fault event to the main control communication module via the data bus. The main control communication module then updates the system status and distributes the fault information to the interaction and display module for alarm display, while simultaneously sending an alarm notification to the remote management center through the communication unit. This effectively improves its flexibility and maintainability while ensuring safety.

The watchdog circuit is used to continuously monitor the instruction response signal and memory check code of the main processor during system operation. When the redundant coprocessor determines that the main processor is malfunctioning, it sends a switching control signal to a multiplexer located between the main processor and the data bus. The multiplexer switches the access permission of the main control communication module to the data bus from the main processor to the redundant coprocessor. After a switching event occurs, the communication unit sends a status data frame, including the switching status and the faulty processor identifier, to the external network.
[0031] In some embodiments, the subprocessor of the measurement and protection module is implemented using a multi-core architecture, which includes at least a first processor core and a second processor core; The first processor core is configured to perform effective value calculation of current and voltage sample values, and the second processor core is configured to perform numerical comparison and condition judgment of the multiple protection logics in parallel; The subprocessor also integrates a non-volatile memory array, which is divided into multiple sectors for storing, in sequence, the instantaneous current value, instantaneous voltage value, protection logic identifier, and time stamp provided by the system clock when triggering the trip judgment.

When the core functional module is inserted into the base, the main processor reads the identification code in the encryption chip through the authentication node and performs string matching with the authorization list stored in the non-volatile memory of the main control communication module; The main processor appends a cyclic redundancy check code generated based on the identification code to the instruction frames transmitted on the data bus.
[0036] In some embodiments, the main processor of the main control communication module identifies the subprocessor of the measurement and protection module as a coprocessor by running a preset task scheduler, and distributes fast Fourier transform calculation tasks to the subprocessor. The main processor identifies the programmable logic device of the load control and expansion module as a logic execution unit and sends a logic control bit stream compiled by the main processor to it.
