Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optical fiber temperature measurement, in particular to a closed busbar optical fiber temperature online monitoring sensor. Background Art

[0002] Fiber optic temperature sensor is a new type of temperature sensor developed in the 1970s and is a major product in the fiber optic sensor family. Fiber optic temperature sensor transmits information based on optical signals. Due to its advantages of insulation, anti-electromagnetic interference, and high voltage resistance, it has developed rapidly in recent years and has been applied to many fields, achieving good results.

[0003] In the field of temperature measurement of isolated closed busbars, since busbars are often used for the transmission of high-power electric energy, they generate large currents and a lot of heat during operation, which requires greater temperature monitoring. In addition, due to the high-current working environment, traditional electrical temperature sensors are difficult to meet the temperature measurement requirements, and it is difficult to locate the specific heating points by infrared temperature measurement outside the closed busbar box. In the field of closed busbar temperature measurement, the demand for optical fiber temperature sensors has emerged.

[0004] We have noticed that some practitioners have adopted fluorescent fiber optic temperature sensors to monitor the temperature of closed busbars. However, they use holes in the busbar box wall to achieve the internal and external penetration of the optical fiber. The fixing reliability and sealing performance of this method need to be improved. External pulling of the optical cable may cause the optical cable to be displaced by force, and it cannot be used in gas sealing scenarios. The probe position is directly fixed with bolts, and the temperature probe is continuously under pressure, which poses a risk to long-term reliability and is inconvenient to install.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a closed busbar optical fiber temperature online monitoring sensor that can be used in sealed scenarios and has high reliability in fixing the optical fiber and temperature sensing probe. Utility Model Content
