[0036] The miniature circuit breaker is internally provided with a microprocessor, a voltage transformer, a current transformer and a humidity sensor, and the voltage transformer, the current transformer and the humidity sensor are all electrically connected to the microprocessor.
[0037] The miniature circuit breaker is also provided with a dual-mode communication module, an HPLC communication interface and a micro-power wireless communication interface, which are all electrically connected to the microprocessor. The HPLC communication interface and the micro-power wireless communication interface are electrically connected to the dual-mode communication module.
[0038] The protocol conversion module comprises a protocol conversion chip, an RS485 interface and a CAN interface, all of which are electrically connected to the microprocessor.
[0039] Specifically, in the present invention, the AC power generated by the power grid system can be converted into DC power through the transformer, rectifier, filter and other power components in the charging pile, and then used to charge the electric vehicle through the charging gun, or it can be directly transmitted to the on-board charger of the electric vehicle for AC charging through the charging gun of the charging pile.
[0040] As the core processing unit of the protocol conversion device, the microprocessor is responsible for controlling the operation of the entire protocol conversion device.
[0041] The protocol conversion module is used to convert different communication protocols. The protocol conversion module includes a protocol conversion chip, an RS485 interface, and a CAN interface. The protocol conversion chip is used to convert the charging pile MODBUS protocol to the DL / T645-2007 or DL / T698.45 protocol, so that the AC / DC charging pile can communicate with different power equipment and power grid systems. The width of the protocol conversion module is 1.5P. The 1.5P width setting allows the protocol conversion module to be compatible with miniature circuit breakers of different sizes while maintaining compactness of installation.
[0042] The RS485 interface and CAN interface of the protocol conversion module are used to communicate with the AC and DC charging piles. The protocol conversion device can communicate with the control unit A and control unit B of the charging piles through the RS485 interface or the CAN interface to collect the operating data of the AC and DC charging piles; the HPLC communication interface and the micro-power wireless communication interface are used to communicate with the area management master station of the area where the AC and DC charging piles are located, upload the collected operating data of the charging piles, and obtain instructions for transmission to the AC and DC charging piles.
[0043] The protocol conversion module is provided with a status indicator light and a switching switch which are electrically connected to the microprocessor. The status indicator light is an LED indicator light which displays the charging status of the AC / DC charging pile by changing the color of the indicator light. The switching switch is electrically connected to the microprocessor, receives a switching signal from the area where the AC / DC charging pile is located through an HPLC communication interface and a micro-power wireless communication interface, and transmits the switching signal to control unit A or control unit B accordingly, so as to perform remote automatic switching of the AC charging or DC charging mode.
[0044] The miniature circuit breaker is a protective device for the internal circuit of the AC / DC charging pile. It is used to automatically cut off the power supply of the AC / DC charging pile in the event of overload or short circuit to prevent equipment damage or contact accidents. The miniature circuit breaker type is 2P miniature circuit breaker or 4P miniature circuit breaker. The 2P miniature circuit breaker is suitable for the protection of two-pole input and is usually used in single-phase systems. The 4P miniature circuit breaker is suitable for the protection of four-pole input and is usually used in three-phase systems to provide protection for the neutral line and the ground line.

The voltage and current data are transmitted to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller transmits the data to the main station of the substation management through the HPLC communication interface or the micro-power wireless communication interface. When the main station of the substation management detects a short circuit or overload fault of the AC or DC charging pile, a signal is sent to the microprocessor, and the microprocessor controls the circuit breaker to cut off the power supply, and the charging pile stops charging.
[0047] The humidity sensor is used to monitor the humidity data of the internal environment of the AC and DC charging pile in real time. The humidity sensor is a resistive humidity sensor. The humidity data is transmitted to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller transmits the humidity data to the main station for area management. When the humidity value exceeds the set threshold, the main station for area management remotely sends a signal to the microcontroller, and the microprocessor controls the micro circuit breaker to cut off the power supply, and the charging pile stops charging to avoid charging accidents caused by excessive humidity.
[0048] The miniature circuit breaker is also provided with a dual-mode communication module, an HPLC communication interface and a micro-power wireless communication interface, which are all electrically connected to the microprocessor. The HPLC communication interface and the micro-power wireless communication interface are electrically connected to the dual-mode communication module. The dual-mode communication module is used for the protocol conversion device to communicate with the external system through both wired and wireless communication methods. The HPLC communication interface and the micro-power wireless communication interface are used to communicate with the fusion terminal of the substation where the AC and DC charging piles are located, transmit the real-time switch status of the miniature circuit breaker to the substation fusion terminal, and receive remote control instructions from the substation fusion terminal.
