TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and particularly relates to a life evaluation method and device of an electromagnetic relay, an electronic device, a computer readable storage medium and a computer program product. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a core electrical component for low-voltage control of high-voltage and weak-current control of strong-current, the electromagnetic relay is widely used in the control system of a nuclear power plant. Its core function is to ensure operation safety, realize automatic switching control and isolate dangerous circuits, covering the safety operation and equipment control requirements of the nuclear power plant. Since the electromagnetic relay is a mechanical wear type component, its contact electrical life and mechanical life are limited, and the stability monotonically decreases with the number of on-off times / running time, therefore, the life of the electromagnetic relay needs to be evaluated, and a corresponding maintenance strategy needs to be formulated to reduce the harm to the operation of the nuclear power plant caused by the failure of the electromagnetic relay.

[0003] Currently, the life evaluation result of the electromagnetic relay has a certain deviation from the actual result, and therefore, the accuracy of the life evaluation result is low. SUMMARY

Since the target parameter is a parameter satisfying the failure criterion condition, subsequent evaluation of the first life of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated corresponding to the accelerated life test and the second life of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated corresponding to the actual working based on the failure duration information is also conducive to improving the accuracy of the obtained first life and second life.

[0017] In addition, in the description of the present application and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for differentiation of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0019] Currently, the lifespan assessment of electromagnetic relays mainly considers mechanical lifespan, electrical lifespan, and high-temperature lifespan. Mechanical lifespan is assessed through mechanical life tests, electrical lifespan through electrical life tests, and high-temperature lifespan through high-temperature life tests. These three tests are as follows: 1. Mechanical life test Refer to GJB 1042A-2002 4.6.23 for the mechanical life test of the electromagnetic relay. Unless otherwise specified, the electromagnetic relay shall be tested according to the following requirements: Ambient temperature: Room temperature; Coil excitation voltage: rated voltage; Contact load: The load of each contact is 10mV~50mV (DC or AC peak). Cycle rate: 60 cycles per minute to 300 cycles per minute, the coil should be excited at rated voltage for (50±10)% of the time of each cycle. Unless otherwise specified, the number of iterations is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 6 Second-rate.

[0020] Criteria for qualification: The exterior is free from deformation or damage; Unless otherwise specified, the increase in contact resistance shall not exceed 50% of the initial specification requirement, the DC resistance of the coil shall meet the initial requirement, and the insulation resistance shall not be less than 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 9 Ω.

[0021] 2. Electrical life test Refer to GJB1042A-2002 4.6.20 for the electrical life test of the electromagnetic relay. Unless otherwise specified, the electromagnetic relay shall be tested according to the following requirements: Ambient temperature: Room temperature; Coil excitation voltage: rated voltage; Contact load: Rated load; Unless otherwise specified, the number of iterations is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Second-rate; Circulation rate: (10±2) times / min, closure time at least 50%.

[0022] Passing basis: No deformation or damage in appearance; Unless otherwise specified, the increase in contact resistance shall not exceed 50% of the initial specification requirement, the coil DC resistance shall meet the initial requirement, and the insulation resistance shall be not less than 1.0 x 10 9 Ω.

[0023] 3. High temperature life test According to the method 312 of GJB 360B-2009 and 4.6.21 of GJB 1042A-2002, the high temperature life test is performed on the electromagnetic relay. Unless otherwise specified, the electromagnetic relay is tested according to the following requirements: Ambient temperature: upper limit working temperature; Coil excitation voltage: rated voltage; Contact load: 100 mA, 125 V d.c.; Test duration: 1000 h.

[0024] Passing basis: No deformation or damage in appearance; Unless otherwise specified, the increase in contact resistance shall not exceed 50% of the initial specification requirement, the coil DC resistance shall meet the initial requirement, and the insulation resistance shall be not less than 1.0 x 10 9 Ω.

[0025] From the specific requirements of the above three tests, it can be seen that, in the test process, neither the mechanical life test, nor the electrical life test, nor the high temperature life test considers the actual application environment of the electromagnetic relay (such as not considering the ambient temperature in actual application, nor considering the ambient humidity in actual application, etc.), thereby leading to a certain deviation between the obtained life evaluation result and the actual result, and further leading to low accuracy of the life evaluation.

[0026] In order to improve the accuracy of the life evaluation result of the electromagnetic relay, the embodiment of the present application provides a life evaluation method of an electromagnetic relay. In the life evaluation method, first, task profile analysis is performed on the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay to obtain working information of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay, then, according to the working information, an accelerated life test is performed on the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay, after a target parameter is obtained, the failure duration information of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is determined according to the target parameter, finally, according to the failure duration information, a first life corresponding to the accelerated life test of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is evaluated, and then, according to the first life, a second life corresponding to the actual work of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is evaluated.

[0027] Since the method considers the actual application environment of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated when performing life evaluation, accuracy of the second life obtained subsequently is improved.

[0028] The life evaluation method of the electromagnetic relay provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 A flowchart of the life evaluation method of the electromagnetic relay provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown, which can be applied to an electronic device, and is described in detail as follows. S11, task profile analysis is performed on the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated to obtain working information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, the working information including working environment temperature and / or working environment humidity of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated.

[0030] The electromagnetic relay to be evaluated refers to the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated for life.

[0031] The task profile refers to a time sequence description of events and environment experienced by the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated within a specified task time.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the working environment temperature refers to the environment temperature when the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated works, and the working environment humidity refers to the environment humidity when the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated works.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the working information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated includes not only the working environment temperature and / or the working environment humidity, but also working conditions of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, which include rated voltage, working current, and power-on condition of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated. In addition, the working information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated includes working states of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, which include relevant information for indicating the working states of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, and can also include series, parallel, and other information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated.

[0034] S12, an accelerated life test is performed on the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated based on the working information to obtain a target parameter, the target parameter being a parameter meeting a failure criterion condition; The accelerated life test (ALT) is a reliability evaluation method, which tests a product under a stress level higher than a normal use condition to accelerate the aging failure process of the product, and then extrapolates a life characteristic under the normal use condition by using a mathematical model.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the parameter refers to a parameter related to the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, which is predetermined, increases with an increase in test duration, and presents a degradation phenomenon.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, based on the working information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, part of the information (such as the working environment temperature) or all of the information of the working information is adjusted to be more stringent information, and then the accelerated life test is performed according to the adjusted working information.

[0037] Optionally, the working information includes the working condition of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, and the accelerated life test is performed on the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated based on the working information to obtain the target parameter, including: The test environment information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is determined according to the working environment temperature and / or the working environment humidity, and the accelerated life test is performed on the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated according to the test environment information and the working condition to obtain the target parameter.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, it is considered that the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is applied in a switchboard, and the switchboard is composed of multiple switch compartments, and each switch compartment has the electromagnetic relay inside. The switchboard is in an air-conditioned room, and the temperature and humidity are approximately constant throughout the year. At the same time, it is considered that the damp heat stress is the main stress leading to the degradation and failure of the electromagnetic relay, as shown in Table 1, and therefore, in order to ensure that the stress damage formed by the accelerated life test is equivalent to the cumulative damage caused by the expected stress during the product life, the accelerated life test can be performed by making the temperature and / or humidity more stringent. For example, when the temperature in the air-conditioned room using the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is 20-26℃, a higher temperature (such as 85℃) is used as the temperature in the test environment information, and a higher humidity (such as 85% relative humidity (RH)) is used as the humidity in the test environment information.

[0039] Table 1:

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the working condition can include the rated voltage and working current of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated. For example, when the rated voltage of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is 125 Volts Direct Current (VDC), and the maximum contact current is not more than 0.1A when the contact is closed, the working condition can include: power-on voltage = 125VDC, contact current = 0.1A.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the test environment information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is obtained after the temperature and / or humidity of the working environment is harshened, and the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is subjected to an accelerated life test according to the test environment information and the working condition of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated. During the accelerated life test, the related electrical parameters of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated and whether there is a degradation trend are monitored. If a current monitored electrical parameter has a degradation trend, such as a contact resistance, the data degradation is obvious or the failure criterion condition is met, the current monitored degradation electrical parameter is taken as the target parameter. Since the temperature and humidity of the application environment are the main factors affecting the life of the electromagnetic relay, when the accelerated life test is performed according to the test environment information determined in the above manner, the stress damage formed is equivalent to the cumulative damage caused by the expected stress in the product life period, so that when the accelerated life test is performed according to the test environment information determined in the above manner, the speed and accuracy of the obtained target parameter are improved.

[0042] In some embodiments, considering that the working states of the electromagnetic relays in the same application scenario can be different, the working state of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated can be determined before the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is subjected to the accelerated life test. Alternatively, the corresponding working state is divided according to the type of switching frequency of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated in the field application. It is assumed that the type of switching frequency is: (1) long-term excitation type (long excitation state): under the normal working condition of the distribution board, the coil of the electromagnetic relay is always powered to maintain long-term excitation, and if an abnormal situation occurs to cause the normally open contact of the electromagnetic relay to be disconnected, the distribution board will issue a fault alarm; (2) frequent action type (switching state): the electromagnetic relay of this type is used to control the switching combination of the distribution board, and there are different switching frequencies, such as the highest switching frequency which can be about 10 times per day. The working state of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated can be divided into the long excitation state and the switching state.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, when the working information further includes the working state of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, the accelerated life test of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is performed according to the working state, the test environment information and the working condition to obtain the target parameter. The accelerated life test of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is performed according to the working state, the test environment information and the working condition to obtain the target parameter.

[0044] Since the working state reflects the state of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, the accelerated life test in combination with the working state is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the obtained target parameter.

[0045] Alternatively, the accelerated life test of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is performed according to the working state, the test environment information and the working condition to obtain the target parameter. When the working state indicates that the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay belongs to the long excitation state, the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay in the test environment information is subjected to a continuous energization process according to the working condition, so as to obtain the target parameter. When the working state indicates that the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay belongs to the switch state, the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay in the test environment information is subjected to a corresponding energization and de-energization process according to the working condition, so as to obtain the target parameter.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, the long excitation state refers to that the coil of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is always in an energized state. Therefore, when it is analyzed that the working state of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay belongs to the long excitation state, the coil of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is continuously energized. The switch state refers to that the coil of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is intermittently energized. Therefore, when it is analyzed that the working state of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay belongs to the switch state, the coil of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is repeatedly energized and de-energized for a period of time. That is, the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is subjected to an accelerated life test according to the working state of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the obtained target parameter.

[0047] Optionally, the energization duration and the de-energization duration of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay are determined according to the number of switchings of the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay in the working application scenario. For example, if the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay is switched 7 times a day in the actual working application scenario, the energization duration can be set to 2 hours and the de-energization duration can be set to 1 hour.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, if there are both electromagnetic relays in the long excitation state and electromagnetic relays in the switch state in the same application scenario, when the number of to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relays that need to be subjected to the accelerated life test is greater than 1, the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relays that need to be subjected to the accelerated life test can be divided into two groups, one group being used for the accelerated life test of the electromagnetic relays in the long excitation state and the other group being used for the accelerated life test of the electromagnetic relays in the switch state. Optionally, the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relays are grouped according to the electromagnetic relays in the long excitation state and the electromagnetic relays in the switch state in the application scenario. For example, if the number of electromagnetic relays in the long excitation state is greater than the number of electromagnetic relays in the switch state in the application scenario, when the number of to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relays is 17, 7 to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relays can be used for the accelerated life test of the electromagnetic relays in the switch state, and 10 to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relays can be used for the accelerated life test of the electromagnetic relays in the long excitation state. When the to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relays in the test environment information are subjected to the accelerated life test according to the working state and the working condition, the related information of the accelerated life test can be obtained as shown in Table 2.

[0049] Table 2:

[0050] Since the electromagnetic relays belonging to the long excitation state and the electromagnetic relays belonging to the switching state in the application scenario group the electromagnetic relays to be evaluated, the number of the electromagnetic relays to be evaluated subjected to the accelerated life test is more consistent with the application scenario, thereby facilitating the matching degree of the test results obtained after grouping with the actual situation.

[0051] Optionally, the electromagnetic relays to be evaluated can be subjected to the accelerated life test according to the connection mode of the electromagnetic relays in the application scenario. For example, if the coil control voltage of the electromagnetic relays in the application scenario is 125VDC, the electromagnetic relays to be evaluated can be subjected to parallel operation and external excitation in the test, but the controlled side of the electromagnetic relays is mostly connected in series in the switching mode in the application scenario, and then the switching side of the electromagnetic relays to be evaluated can be subjected to series operation and external excitation.

[0052] Optionally, in the embodiment of the application, the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relays to be evaluated is taken as the parameter showing the degradation phenomenon.

[0053] Optionally, the parameters showing the degradation phenomenon in the electromagnetic relays in the switching state and the electromagnetic relays in the long excitation state are determined in the following manner.

[0054] Suppose that the degradation phenomenon test in the switching state is performed on 7 samples (i.e., electromagnetic relays), and the degradation phenomenon test in the long excitation state is performed on 10 samples, the power-on voltage of the two tests = 125VDC, and the contact current = 0.1A, then the wiring circuit diagrams as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 are designed to build the corresponding test platform.

[0055] Figure 2 a wiring circuit diagram of an electromagnetic relay in the switching state is shown, Figure 3 a wiring circuit diagram of an electromagnetic relay in the long excitation state is shown.

[0056] According to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the input end of the electromagnetic relay is electrically connected with the power input end, and the output end of the electromagnetic relay is connected with the load current end.

[0057] In Figure 2 , the coils of 7 electromagnetic relays are connected in parallel to 125VDC, and the coils after being powered on control the switches of the corresponding electromagnetic relays. For example, for Figure 2the leftmost to-be-evaluated electromagnetic relay K1 in the wiring circuit, when the coil of the K1 is not powered, the switch of the K1 is closed in the case that: the 07 end is connected with the 7 end, the 06 end is connected with the 6 end, the 05 end is connected with the 5 end, and the 04 end is connected with the 4 end. When the coil of the K1 is powered, the switch of the K1 is closed in the case that: the 07 end is connected with the 70 end, the 06 end is connected with the 60 end, the 05 end is connected with the 50 end, and the 04 end is connected with the 40 end. Then, the electromagnetic relay is placed in a high-temperature and high-humidity box, the temperature of the high-temperature and high-humidity box is set to a preset temperature, the humidity is set to a preset humidity, for example, in a specific test condition, the temperature is set to 85 DEG C, and the humidity is set to 85% RH. Then, intermittent power supply is performed on the electromagnetic relay according to the preset working condition, for example, power-on for 2 hours and power-off for 1 hour, and the test duration is 1000 hours.

[0058] In Figure 3 , the test condition is: 85 DEG C, 85% RH, the coil DC 125 V, and continuous power-on; each sample normally open contact is loaded with 0.1 A current, and the test duration is 1000 hours. The coils of 10 electromagnetic relays are connected in parallel to 125 V DC, and the specific implementation process is similar to Figure 2 , which will not be described here again. Since Figure 3 is a degradation phenomenon test on the electromagnetic relay in a long excitation state, long-time power supply is performed on the electromagnetic relay according to the preset working condition.

[0059] When the electromagnetic relay is connected in parallel, the coil voltage is controlled, and the current load is applied to the contact, the coil total current of the electromagnetic relay (the coil total current is obtained by dividing a coil current by the number of coils), the coil voltage (in Figure 2 , the coil voltage is 125 V DC), the contact current (in Figure 2 , the contact current is 0.1 A), the contact total voltage (which is the product of the contact resistance and the contact current), and the parameters can be tested by the electromagnetic relay automatic parameter tester. The tested parameters include the coil resistance, the contact resistance, the attraction / release voltage, the attraction / release time, and the like. The purpose of the parameter test is to confirm the functional performance and the related parameters of the electromagnetic relay, so as to identify the degradation information of the electromagnetic relay. Considering the actual situation that the storage space is limited, a time point sequence can be set in advance, and the parameter test is performed according to the time points of the time point sequence. Each time point of the time point sequence represents the duration of the degradation phenomenon test on the electromagnetic relay.

[0060] Optionally, considering that the probability of electromagnetic relay degradation is low in the early stage and high in the later stage, an intermediate time point can be determined based on the total test duration. Then, a first number of time points can be determined to the left of the intermediate time point, and a second number of time points can be determined to the right of the intermediate time point, with the first number being less than the second number. This reduces the number of time points that need to be detected in the early stage of the test, thereby reducing the amount of data to be analyzed. At the same time, increasing the number of time points that need to be detected in the later stage of the test can also increase the amount of data that can be analyzed, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined range of time points when electromagnetic relay degradation occurs.

[0061] For example, when the test duration is 1000 hours (h), 500h can be set as a time point. Then, a time point (such as 168h) can be set to the left of 500h, and two time points (750h and 1000h) can be set to the right of 500h. These time points form a time point sequence: 168h, 500h, 750h, 1000h.

[0062] When the required time point is reached at the preset time point, record the values ​​of the electromagnetic relay's coil voltage, contact current, total contact voltage, contact resistance, etc.

[0063] The graph showing the change in total contact voltage obtained from a degradation test on an electromagnetic relay in a switching state, based on the recorded values, is shown below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the change in contact resistance of the normally open contact is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the change in contact resistance of the normally closed contact is as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0064] according to Figure 4 It can be seen that when the electromagnetic relay under evaluation with 7 switching states is subjected to degradation test, the total contact voltage increases with the increase of test time. Since the output current is fixed, the general trend of the total contact voltage is that the contact resistance increases with the increase of test time, which shows a degradation phenomenon.

[0065] according to Figure 5 It can be seen that the contact resistance of the normally open contacts of each electromagnetic relay increases with the increase of test duration, showing a degradation phenomenon.

[0066] according to Figure 6 It can be seen that the contact resistance of the normally closed contact of an electromagnetic relay increases with the increase of test duration, exhibiting a degradation phenomenon.

[0067] The following graph shows the change in contact voltage obtained from a degradation test of an electromagnetic relay under prolonged excitation: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the change in contact resistance of the normally open contact is as follows:Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the change in contact resistance of the normally closed contact is as follows: Figure 9 As shown.

[0068] according to Figure 7 It can be seen that the total contact voltage of the 10 electromagnetic relays under long excitation increases with the increase of test time. Under the condition of fixed output current, the overall trend of the total contact voltage is that the contact resistance increases with the increase of test time, showing a degradation phenomenon.

[0069] according to Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay increases with the increase of the test duration, showing a degradation phenomenon.

[0070] The analysis results of the two sets of experimental data above both point to a degrading trend in the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay. The contact points of the test sample were photographed; assuming the obtained images are as follows... Figure 10 As shown. For Figure 10 The results of energy spectrum analysis are shown in Table 3 below.

[0071] Table 3:

[0072] Table 3 shows that under conditions of 85%RH and 85 degrees Celsius, organic matter containing C, O and P elements is released inside the electromagnetic relay. This organic matter contaminates the contact point surface, thereby increasing the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay.

[0073] Degradation verification was conducted based on the preliminary conclusions of the degradation analysis. The contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay was retested after wiping the contact surface with an alcohol swab. The test results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0074] Table 4:

[0075] In Table 4, "NC1~NC4" represent different contact surfaces. As shown in Table 4, after cleaning the surface contaminants, the corresponding contact resistance decreases significantly. Therefore, it can be determined that the contaminant is the main factor causing the increase in contact resistance. That is, the contact resistance reflects the degradation trend of the electromagnetic relay from the contact system, and it can be used for electromagnetic relay degradation trend analysis and lifespan prediction.

[0076] In this embodiment, if contact resistance is used as a parameter to evaluate the degradation of an electromagnetic relay, then during accelerated life testing of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated will be monitored, and the contact resistance that meets the failure criterion will be recorded to obtain the target parameter corresponding to the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated. The failure criterion can be: the contact resistance is greater than a preset threshold. This preset threshold can be set based on the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay after a certain number of years of use. For example, assuming the contact resistance of a non-new sample is between 10 and 20 mΩ, while the contact resistance of a sample used for a certain number of years is above 50 mΩ, considering practical applications and retaining a certain margin, a contact resistance of 200 mΩ can be considered as the failure criterion for the electromagnetic relay, i.e., as the aforementioned preset threshold. That is, if the currently monitored contact resistance is greater than 200 mΩ, the currently monitored contact resistance can be considered as the target parameter.

[0077] It should be noted that accelerated life testing of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is similar to degradation testing of the sample. The difference is that accelerated life testing can focus only on the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, while degradation testing requires analysis of multiple types of values ​​to determine which type of value can reflect the degradation phenomenon of the electromagnetic relay.

[0078] S13, Based on the above target parameters, determine the failure duration information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, when the target parameter is obtained, the failure duration information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is determined based on the test duration corresponding to the obtained target parameter.

[0080] In this embodiment of the application, when the contact resistance is used as a parameter for evaluating the degradation phenomenon of an electromagnetic relay, the parameter that satisfies the failure criterion (i.e., the target parameter) can be obtained in the following way: When a time point in the preset time sequence is reached, the parameters obtained by the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated during the accelerated life test are recorded; if the recorded parameters meet the failure criterion conditions, the recorded parameters are used as the target parameters.

[0081] Correspondingly, the failure duration information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated, determined based on the aforementioned target parameters, includes: Based on the time points corresponding to the above target parameters and the previous time point, the failure duration information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is determined.

[0082] Assuming contact resistance is used as a parameter indicating degradation in the electromagnetic relay under evaluation, contact resistance is monitored at time points: 168h, 500h, 750h, and 1000h. If, at time point 168h, the contact resistance of the electromagnetic relay under evaluation is found to be within the preset threshold, but at the next adjacent time point 500h, the monitored contact resistance exceeds the preset threshold, then the interval [168h~500h] can be used as the failure duration information of the electromagnetic relay under evaluation.

[0083] Since the target parameter refers to the parameter that meets the failure criterion, when the parameter is monitored according to the time points of the time series, once it is determined that the currently monitored parameter meets the failure criterion at a certain time point, the currently monitored parameter will be obtained as the target parameter. Therefore, after obtaining the target parameter, the corresponding time point is determined based on the target parameter, and the previous time point in the time series is determined. Based on the two determined time points, the failure duration information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is determined, which helps to improve the accuracy of the determined failure duration information.

[0084] Of course, in practice, the failure duration information mentioned above can also be determined using other methods. For example, after obtaining the target parameter, if it is determined that the target parameter is much larger than a preset threshold, then after determining the time point corresponding to the target parameter, the value corresponding to that time point can be reduced based on experience. Then, the failure duration information of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated can be determined based on the previous time point in the time series corresponding to the time point corresponding to the target parameter. This process helps to narrow down the time period range corresponding to the failure duration information, reducing the amount of data that needs to be analyzed subsequently.

[0085] S14. Evaluate the first life of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated during the accelerated life test based on the above failure duration information.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, the first life of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated during accelerated life testing can be estimated based on any one of the following models: Weibull distribution model, normal distribution model, logistic distribution model, and log-normal distribution model.

[0087] Optionally, considering that different models are typically applicable to different data, multiple distribution models can be first performed on the determined failure duration information, and the goodness of fit of the corresponding models can be determined. Then, based on the goodness of fit, a model matching the failure duration information can be selected to predict the aforementioned first lifetime. That is, the aforementioned assessment of the first lifetime of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated during accelerated life testing based on the aforementioned failure duration information includes: Model the failure duration information using at least two distributions to obtain the goodness of fit of the corresponding models; select the model with the highest goodness of fit from the goodness of fit of each model, and evaluate the first life of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated during accelerated life testing based on the model corresponding to the highest goodness of fit and the failure duration information.

[0088] The goodness of fit mentioned above reflects the degree of matching between the model's predicted values ​​and the actual observed values.

[0089] In this embodiment of the application, it is assumed that the failure duration information corresponding to the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated under the long excitation state is shown in Table 5 below.

[0090] Table 5:

[0091] In Table 5, the serial number represents the corresponding contact point. The data type "Failed" indicates that the contact resistance of the corresponding serial number meets the failure criterion condition within the corresponding start interval to end interval, while the data type "Censored" indicates that the contact resistance of the corresponding serial number does not meet the failure criterion condition within the corresponding start interval to end interval.

[0092] For example, the contact point corresponding to serial number "1" has a data type of "Failed". This means that the contact resistance of this contact point did not meet the failure criterion at 168h, but the contact resistance monitored at 500h met the failure criterion. Since the contact resistance is monitored according to time series points, the determined failure duration information includes [168h, 500h]. However, the contact point corresponding to serial number "26" has a data type of "Censored", and the contact resistance monitored at time point 1200h did not meet the failure criterion. Therefore, the failure duration information for serial number "26" cannot be determined.

[0093] When using the failure duration information in Table 5 to model the Weibull distribution, normal distribution, logistic distribution, and log-normal distribution, the corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) for the corresponding models are calculated, and the values ​​are shown in Table 6 below.

[0094] Table 6:

[0095] As shown in Table 6, the distribution models constructed for failure duration information under long-excitation conditions, when fitted using the Weibull distribution model, exhibit smaller AICc and BIC values. Smaller AICc and BIC values ​​indicate a higher goodness of fit, suggesting that the Weibull distribution is more accurate for modeling failure duration information under long-excitation conditions. Therefore, the Weibull distribution should be used to predict the first lifetime for failure duration under long-excitation conditions.

[0096] In this embodiment, the estimated first lifetime is selected as a lifetime with a reliability greater than a preset reliability threshold, which is selected according to actual needs. Optionally, the preset reliability threshold can be selected as 90%. The following explanation uses 90% as an example.

[0097] Assuming the Weibull distribution is used to predict the first lifetime of the electromagnetic relays in Table 5 above, the estimated information is shown in Table 7, and the probability distribution of electromagnetic relay lifetime failure under long-excitation conditions is shown in the figure below. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the obtained lifetime value with 90% reliability is plotted as follows. Figure 12 As shown.

[0098] Table 7:

[0099] From Table 7 and Figure 11 and Figure 12 It can be seen that the first lifetime with 90% reliability under long excitation is 497 hours.

[0100] A similar estimation method can be used to estimate the first lifetime of the electromagnetic relay under evaluation in the switching state. Specifically, assume that the failure duration information corresponding to the electromagnetic relay under evaluation in the switching state is shown in Table 8 below.

[0101] Table 8:

[0102] When using the failure duration information in Table 8 to model the Weibull distribution, normal distribution, logistic distribution, and lognormal distribution, respectively, the AICc and BIC of the corresponding models are calculated, and the values ​​are shown in Table 9 below.

[0103] Table 9:

[0104] As shown in Table 9, the distribution model constructed for the failure duration information of the switching state, when fitted using the log-normal distribution model, exhibits smaller AICc and BIC values. Smaller AICc and BIC values ​​indicate a higher goodness of fit, thus demonstrating that modeling the failure duration information of the switching state using the log-normal distribution is more accurate. Therefore, the log-normal distribution should be used to predict the first lifetime of the switching state failure duration.

[0105] Assuming a log-normal distribution is used to estimate the first lifetime of Table 8 above, the estimated information is shown in Table 10, and the resulting probability distribution of electromagnetic relay lifetime failure in switching states is shown in the figure below. Figure 13 As shown in the figure, the obtained lifetime value with 90% reliability is plotted as follows. Figure 14 As shown.

[0106] Table 10:

[0107] From Table 10 and Figure 13 and Figure 14 It can be seen that the first lifetime with 90% reliability in the switching state is 546 hours.

[0108] S15, based on the first life assessment described above, evaluate the second life of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated in actual operation.

[0109] In this embodiment of the application, the first lifetime is the estimated lifetime obtained after the working environment temperature and / or working environment humidity of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated are degraded. Therefore, the value of the first lifetime can be increased and the increased first lifetime can be used as the second lifetime.

[0110] In this embodiment, before conducting accelerated life testing, a task profile analysis is performed on the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated to obtain its operating information. Then, the accelerated life test is conducted based on this operating information. Since the operating information includes the operating ambient temperature and / or humidity of the electromagnetic relay, the accelerated life test also considers these factors. This makes the target parameters obtained from the accelerated life test more closely match the actual operating environment of the electromagnetic relay, thereby improving the accuracy of the obtained target parameters and the accuracy of the failure duration information determined based on these target parameters. Furthermore, since these target parameters satisfy the failure criterion conditions, subsequent evaluations of the first lifespan of the electromagnetic relay during the accelerated life test and the second lifespan of the electromagnetic relay in actual operation based on this failure duration information also improve the accuracy of the obtained first and second lifespans.

[0111] In this embodiment, the value of the first lifetime can be increased using addition or multiplication operations. For example, the product of the first lifetime and a preset acceleration factor can be used as the second lifetime. In this case, evaluating the second lifetime of the electromagnetic relay under evaluation based on the first lifetime in actual operation includes: Based on the preset acceleration factor and the aforementioned first lifespan, the second lifespan of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated in actual operation is assessed.

[0112] The acceleration factor mentioned above is a value greater than 1. It can be set empirically or determined based on information such as the test temperature used in the accelerated life test and the actual operating temperature of the electromagnetic relay being evaluated.

[0113] Optionally, the acceleration factor described above can be calculated in the following manner.

[0114] Obtain the test humidity and test temperature for accelerated life testing, and obtain the actual humidity and actual temperature corresponding to the actual operation of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated; The preset acceleration factor is calculated based on the above-mentioned test humidity, test temperature, actual humidity, and actual temperature.

[0115] In this embodiment, considering that the sensitive stresses affecting sample degradation include charged action, high temperature, and damp heat, the corresponding Hallberg-Peck model for charged damp heat is expressed as follows: .

[0116] In the above formula, It can be the operating time before failure, or other measures of lifespan; It is a constant; Relative humidity, expressed as a percentage, with 100%RH representing saturated humidity; = Peck's relative humidity index, typically 3 for electronic devices; is the base of the natural logarithm; To activate the energy, based on engineering experience in evaluating the lifespan of electromagnetic relays, the following can be taken: =0.65eV; Boltzmann's constant is 8.62 × 10⁻⁶. -5 eV / K; Temperature (Kelvin).

[0117] The above Expressed as the acceleration factor (AF) of high temperature and high humidity relative to normal temperature and humidity:

[0118] in, For testing humidity, For actual humidity, To activate energy; For actual operating temperature, The temperatures mentioned above are all in Kelvin. is the Boltzmann constant.

[0119] Considering that the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated will be used in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, therefore, it can be set to... =25℃ (298K) =45%, set according to the test temperature and humidity conditions, substitute into The formula yields the following results: =468.88.

[0120] Assuming the first lifetime for the electromagnetic relay under long-excitation state with 90% reliability is 497 hours, the corresponding second lifetime is 497 * 468.88 = 26.6 years.

[0121] Assuming the first lifetime of the electromagnetic relay under evaluation with 90% reliability in the switching state is 546 hours, the corresponding second lifetime is 546 * 468.88 = 29.2 years.

[0122] In this embodiment, since the calculation of the acceleration factor considers not only the influence of temperature but also the influence of humidity, and the working environment of the electromagnetic relay to be evaluated is a constant temperature and humidity environment, the acceleration factor calculated in the above manner is more accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of the second lifetime calculated based on the acceleration factor.

[0123] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
