Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of voltage sensors, in particular to an electrode structure and a capacitive voltage sensor. Background Art

[0002] Wind farm collector cable fault diagnosis technology is a topic that continues to be discussed in the intelligent operation and maintenance of collector lines, in which voltage measurement is the basis for judging whether the line has tripped. Capacitive voltage sensors use the principle of electric field coupling to measure line voltage, avoiding direct contact with collector cables and solving the safety issues caused by contact sensors. They also have the advantages of small size, simple structure and high resolution. With the appropriate processing circuit, they can achieve high-frequency and high-voltage measurements and are widely used in voltage measurement technology.

[0003] There are sharp corners at the edge of the electrode of the capacitive voltage sensor. Due to the limitation of the electrode shape, the electric field lines extend from the area between the plates to the external space. The electric field lines change from parallel lines to open distribution. The electric field lines are concentrated at the edge of the plate, resulting in uneven distribution of the electric field of the entire plate. This phenomenon is called edge effect. The edge effect causes the sensor sensitivity to decrease. At the same time, the electric field at the edge radiates to the outside world, which will cause the sensor measurement accuracy to decrease, making the system have worse characteristics and producing edge negative effects. Utility Model Content

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0052] Combine the following Figures 1 to 7 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the one hand, as Figure 1 As shown, an electrode structure is provided, comprising:

[0054] like Figure 2 The ground electrode 1 shown is a semicircular hollow structure, and the inner circular surface of the ground electrode 1 has a first opening;

[0055] like Figure 3 The sensing electrode 2 shown is a semicircular hollow structure, and the outer circumferential surface of the sensing electrode 2 has a second opening;

[0056] The sensing electrode 2 is embedded in the hollow chamber formed by the grounding electrode 1 , and the first opening and the second opening face oppositely.

[0057] The grounding electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 are both semicircular hollow structures, and the sensing electrode 2 is embedded and sleeved in the hollow cavity formed by the grounding electrode 1, so that the edge of the electrode structure is a circular structure. Since there are no sharp corners at the edge, the influence of the electrode shape and thickness on the electric field distribution at the edge is reduced, the negative edge effect is reduced, and the measurement sensitivity of the capacitive voltage sensor is improved; and the sensing electrode 2 is embedded in the grounding electrode 1, so that the electric field radiated from the edge of the sensing electrode 2 can be completely absorbed by the grounding electrode 1, and it can also shield external interference, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the capacitive voltage sensor.

[0058] It should be noted that both the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 use a non-metallic skeleton, the skeleton is a semicircular hollow structure, the inner circumferential surface of the skeleton of the ground electrode 1 has a first opening, and the outer circumferential surface of the skeleton of the sensing electrode 2 has a second opening, and a layer of metal is plated on the surface of the skeleton to form a metal electrode.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, a plastic insulating layer 3 is filled between the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 .

[0060] A plastic insulating layer 3 is filled between the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 to insulate the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 . At the same time, the two are connected as one and reliably fixed through the plastic insulating layer 3 , and the structure is more compact.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, metal closed covers 4 are provided at both ends of the ground electrode 1 .

[0062] The two ends of the electrode are sealed by a metal sealing cover 4. The metal sealing cover ensures the formation of a complete metal outer layer and also isolates the interior of the electrode structure from the outside.

[0063] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the wall thickness at the outer circumference of the ground electrode 1 is T1, the wall thickness at the inner circumference of the sensing electrode 2 is T2, and T1=T2.

[0064] The wall thickness at the outer circumference of the ground electrode 1 is the same as the wall thickness at the inner circumference of the sensing electrode 2 , which reduces the influence of thickness on the electric field distribution at the edge, making the electric field more uniform and having good consistency.

[0065] In one embodiment, the thickness of the side wall of the ground electrode 1 is T3, the thickness of the side wall of the sensing electrode 2 is T4, and T3=T4.

[0066] The thickness of the side wall of the ground electrode 1 is the same as that of the side wall of the sensing electrode 2 , which reduces the influence of thickness on the electric field distribution at the edge, does not produce drastic changes, and has good electric field consistency.

[0067] When the sensing electrode 2 is embedded in the grounding electrode 1, it is necessary to ensure that the outer contour of the inner circular surface of the sensing electrode 2 is located inside the grounding electrode 1. This configuration allows the electric field radiated from the edge of the sensing electrode 2 to be completely absorbed by the grounding electrode 1, and the vertical distance between the grounding electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 is equal everywhere, which can also ensure the uniformity of the electric field.

[0068] In one embodiment, the insulating layer 3 is an epoxy resin potting layer.

[0069] The ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 are insulated by a plastic epoxy resin potting layer, and the epoxy resin can be injection-molded into one body of the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2, thereby improving the stability of the combination and the positioning reliability between the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 is also high.

[0070] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the electrode structure also includes:

[0071] The shell is coated on the outer side of the electrode assembly formed by the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 .

[0072] The outer side of the electrode assembly formed by the ground electrode 1 and the sensing electrode 2 is covered with a shell for protection, which also ensures the aesthetic appearance.

[0073] Specifically, a flame retardant ABS plastic shell can be used.

[0074] In a second aspect, the utility model further provides a capacitive voltage sensor, comprising:

[0075] Connecting structure 7;

[0076] Electrode structure: there are two electrode structures, and the two electrode structures can be arranged opposite to each other in an openable and closable manner through a connecting structure 7 to form a circular ring shape.

[0077] The two electrode structures can be opened and closed through the connection structure 7, which is simple to install and easy to operate.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the connection structure 7 includes a folding buckle.

[0079] The two electrode structures are connected by a folding buckle, which is simple to install and easy to open and close.

[0080] In some other embodiments, other connection methods such as threaded connection may also be used, which can be selected according to needs.

[0081] In one embodiment, the electrode structure is externally connected to a coaxial cable 9 via a lead 6 , the two leads 6 are respectively connected to the sensing electrode 2 and the grounding electrode 1 , and an explosion-proof joint 8 is provided at the junction of the coaxial cable 9 and the electrode structure.

[0082] The method of arranging the explosion-proof joint 8 at the joint improves the safety level of the capacitive voltage sensor.

[0083] Install the folding buckle, then install the coaxial cable 9 to lead out the electrode lead 6, close the housing and tighten the bolt 52 installed in the threaded hole 51 to form an open-close capacitive voltage sensor. Figure 7 .

[0084] After the capacitive voltage sensor of the utility model is adopted in the wind farm collector cable, the influence of the edge negative effect can be reduced, the measurement accuracy of the sensor can be improved, and the improvement of the voltage measurement accuracy can enhance the reliability of the fault diagnosis of the wind farm collector cable.
