Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of transformer ultrasonic sensor testing technology, and in particular to a transformer ultrasonic sensor weathering resistance testing system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasonic testing of partial discharge in transformers is an effective method for detecting the operating status of transformers. The reliability and stability of ultrasonic sensors after on-site installation are crucial. However, ultrasonic sensors operate in high-frequency vibration and high-temperature environments for extended periods. Environmental stress and mechanical wear can cause sensor aging, leading to key performance issues such as reduced sensitivity, insufficient dynamic range, or excessive linearity errors. These defects can hinder accurate assessment of transformer operating status. Therefore, environmental weathering tests need to be conducted before ultrasonic sensors are finalized to detect performance changes under long-term environmental conditions, ensuring their reliability in practical applications.
[0003] Currently, when conducting weathering tests on ultrasonic sensors, the installation method of the sensors is relatively fixed. Performance monitoring during the test usually requires removing the sensors from the test environment, which disrupts the continuity of the test environment. Moreover, frequent disassembly may damage the sensors and affect the accuracy of the test results. At the same time, existing test equipment lacks a complete performance monitoring system, which cannot monitor the key performance indicators such as sensitivity, dynamic range, and linearity of the sensors in real time and comprehensively during the temperature, humidity, and heat aging process. This is not conducive to in-depth analysis of sensor performance changes and failure time. Summary of the Invention

(Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the transformer ultrasonic sensor weathering resistance testing system includes: a test chamber, an environmental simulation system, sensor support components, and a performance monitoring system.

[0039] The environmental simulation system is placed inside the test chamber to simulate various climatic environments for performance testing of the ultrasonic sensor under test;

[0041] Specifically, addressing the problems existing in the background technology, this invention aims to provide a weathering resistance testing system for transformer ultrasonic sensors. This system can simulate various complex climatic environments, achieving wide-range and high-precision control of temperature and humidity. It features a customized sensor support system capable of supporting multiple sensors under test, mounting rigid test blocks, and acoustic emission transducers. Through the rational design of the lead-in holes and their sealing structure, performance testing can be performed without removing the sensor, ensuring the stability of the test environment and the safety of the sensor. An integrated high-performance monitoring system monitors various performance indicators of the sensor in real time and comprehensively, providing accurate data for evaluating the sensor's weathering resistance. This invention designs a weathering resistance testing system for ultrasonic sensor performance verification, comprising a test chamber, an environmental simulation system, sensor support components, lead-in hole structure, and a performance monitoring system.
[0042] Specifically, the test chamber adopts a double-layer insulation structure. The outer layer can be made of stainless steel to enhance the strength and corrosion resistance of the chamber; the inner layer can be filled with polyurethane foam to effectively reduce heat exchange. The chamber door is equipped with sealing devices (sealing rings, etc.) and an observation window for convenient observation of the test conditions inside the chamber without disturbing the internal environment. The middle layer is filled with dry nitrogen to prevent fogging from affecting observation. The inner wall of the chamber is equipped with baffles to optimize the temperature and humidity circulation path and ensure the uniformity of environmental parameters inside the chamber.
[0043] Specifically, the environmental simulation system includes a temperature and humidity control module, a light simulation module, and an air pressure regulation module.
[0044] Furthermore, the temperature and humidity control module utilizes heating elements, cooling coils, a humidifier, and a dehumidifier installed within the enclosure. Temperature and humidity sensors collect real-time data from the enclosure and transmit it to the control system. Based on preset temperature and humidity parameters, the control system automatically adjusts the operating states of the heating elements, cooling coils, humidifier, and dehumidifier, achieving precise temperature control within a range of -40℃ to 120℃ and humidity within a range of 10% to 98% RH, simulating different climatic environments. The light simulation module uses an ultraviolet LED array on the top of the enclosure to simulate ultraviolet radiation environments of varying intensities, ranging from 0-100 W / m². 2 Adjustable, wavelength range 280-400nm. The air pressure regulation module, equipped with a miniature vacuum pump and a precision pressure sensor, can achieve precise control of the air pressure inside the chamber within the range of 80kPa-120kPa, simulating different altitude environments.
[0045] Specifically, the sensor support adopts a modular design, consisting of a base, a column, and a mounting base. The base is fixed to the bottom of the test chamber, the column is vertically mounted on the base, and a steel test block is placed on the mounting base. Acoustic emission transducers and the sensor under test can be installed on both sides of the steel test block.
[0046] Furthermore, the standard steel test block is made of hot-rolled steel A36. The acoustic emission transducer is a broadband piezoelectric ceramic transducer with a frequency response range covering 20kHz-200kHz. It is tightly connected to the surface of the steel test block through a coupling agent to ensure effective transmission of acoustic signals.
[0047] Furthermore, the sensor support can simultaneously accommodate multiple sets of sensors for performance testing.
[0048] Specifically, the lead-in hole structure is as follows: lead-in holes are strategically placed on the enclosure wall for connecting the sensor to external testing equipment. The lead-in holes utilize sealed connectors such as aviation plugs or waterproof joints to ensure smooth signal and power delivery from the sensor while preventing damage to the internal temperature and humidity environment. Protective covers or sleeves are installed around the lead-in holes to prevent moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the enclosure.
[0049] Specifically, the performance monitoring system integrates a high-precision signal processing and analysis module. It injects excitation signals into the acoustic emission transducer via an acoustic emission system, collects test signals from standard sensors and the tested sensor using a standard measurement system, stores the collected data in real time, and analyzes and processes the data using software to generate performance change curves and reports. It also supports remote data transmission, allowing test personnel to view and analyze the data remotely.
[0050] The transformer ultrasonic sensor weathering resistance testing system proposed in this invention was used to conduct temperature, humidity, light, and high-altitude weathering resistance tests on a batch of ultrasonic sensors. The specific steps are as follows:
[0051] (1) Pre-test preparation: Five ultrasonic sensors of the same type were selected as test samples. Before the test, all sensors were visually inspected to ensure that there was no mechanical damage. Initial performance parameters, including sensitivity, frequency response, dynamic range, and linearity, were recorded under standard environmental conditions (temperature 25℃, humidity 50%RH, air pressure 101kPa). A comprehensive inspection of the weathering resistance test system was conducted to confirm that the double-layer heat insulation structure of the test chamber was intact, the door sealing device was free from aging and deformation, the connections of each module of the environmental simulation system were stable, and the temperature and humidity sensors and other detection elements were calibrated as qualified. The modular components of the sensor support were undamaged, the surface of the steel test block was smooth and clean, and there was no rust or defects. The lead hole sealing joints and protective covers were in good condition. All instruments and equipment of the performance monitoring system were operating normally and the software functions were complete.
[0052] (2) Sensor placement: such as Figure 1As shown, five identical ultrasonic sensors were fixed on the support platform, ensuring good acoustic coupling between the sensors and the steel test block surface. The signal and power cables of each sensor were sealed and led out through aviation plugs in the lead-in holes, and accurately connected to the external performance monitoring system. The plug connections were then reinforced with sealant to prevent moisture ingress. After connection, the system underwent pre-operation testing.
[0053] (3) Setting Environmental Parameters: The test environment parameters were set through the system control system to simulate complex and variable climatic conditions. For temperature, the temperature was lowered from 25℃ to -40℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min and held for 24 hours to simulate a winter environment in a frigid region; then, the temperature was raised to 120℃ at the same rate and held for 24 hours to simulate an extreme summer environment in a high-temperature region, and this cycle was repeated three times. Humidity was set to 10%RH (dry environment), 50%RH (normal environment), and 98%RH (high humidity environment) at each temperature stage, and each humidity value was held for 12 hours to simulate different humidity scenarios. The light simulation module ran continuously throughout the test, setting the ultraviolet radiation intensity to 80W / m² through the ultraviolet LED array on the top of the chamber. 2 The wavelength range was controlled between 280-400nm to simulate a prolonged outdoor ultraviolet radiation environment. The air pressure regulation module gradually reduced the air pressure inside the chamber from 101kPa to 80kPa at the beginning of the test to simulate a low-pressure environment at high altitudes, and maintained stability during subsequent tests.
[0054] (4) Performance monitoring: Excitation signals of different intensities are injected into the ultrasonic transducer through the acoustic emission system, and the output signal of the sample sensor is collected through the standard measurement system. The response data of the sensor is recorded in real time, and parameters such as amplitude attenuation, frequency drift and waveform distortion of the response signal are analyzed.
[0055] (5) Data analysis and evaluation: After the test, compare the response characteristics of the sensor before and after the test, and evaluate the stability and reliability of the ultrasonic sensor in extreme environments such as high temperature, high humidity, strong light, and high altitude.
[0056] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant effects:
[0057] (1) Accurate environmental simulation: Through high-precision control of temperature and humidity, the complex climate environment is simulated to be closer to the actual application scenario, making the test results more reliable and valuable for reference.
[0058] (2) High versatility: The adjustable sensor support can adapt to ultrasonic sensors of different specifications and shapes, expanding the applicability of the system;
[0059] (3) Convenient and accurate testing: The sealed design of the lead hole enables performance testing without removing the sensor, ensuring the continuity and stability of the test environment, while avoiding damage to the sensor caused by frequent disassembly, and improving the accuracy of the test results.
[0060] (4) Comprehensive and efficient monitoring: The performance monitoring system can monitor the various performance indicators of the sensor in real time and comprehensively during the aging process, providing rich and accurate data support for evaluating the weather resistance performance of the sensor, and improving the efficiency of the test and the scientific nature of the data analysis.
