During maintenance, power outages in the power grid can easily cause the feeder automation terminal to lose connection with the main station. In addition, for remote areas, the problem of working power supply for outdoor distribution terminal equipment in distribution automation construction has always been a difficult problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to better understand the present invention, the content of the present invention is further clearly described below in conjunction with the embodiments, but the protection content of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In the following description, a large number of specific details are given in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0029] Example 1: See Figure 1-8A feeder automation terminal based on photovoltaic applications in this embodiment includes a box 10 and a photovoltaic power generation component 20. A main board 11 is arranged inside the box 10. An aviation plug connector 12 is arranged on one side of the box 10. The aviation plug connector 12 includes a 6p current aviation plug and an improved 14P aviation plug. The original CN+CN-DC+DC-V+V- has changed its original definition, and the 11th and 12th pins of the original 14P are used for V+V-. The original 14p aviation plug only bears the functions of control signals and zero-sequence voltage, and now a voltage function is added. An operation panel 30 is hinged inside the front of the box 10. By combining the operation button and the display screen on the operation panel 30, basic operations are performed on the operation panel 30, which is more convenient, reduces the operation frequency inside the box 10, and reduces misoperation. A wireless transmission component 40 is fixedly installed inside the box 10. The wireless transmission component 40 is connected to the main board 11. Through the wireless transmission component 40, it can The mainboard 11 is remotely operated, telemetered, telesignaled and remotely adjusted. The photovoltaic power generation component 20 includes a photovoltaic power generation panel 21. A solar controller 22 is fixedly installed inside the box 10. The solar controller 22 is specifically an MPPT solar controller. After the photovoltaic power generation panel 21 generates electricity, the MPPT solar controller 22 stabilizes the voltage and current and supplies power to the load. The output end of the photovoltaic power generation panel 21 is connected to the solar controller 22. The output end of the solar controller 22 is connected to the power storage component 50. The power storage component 50 is used to supply power to the mainboard 11. The output end of the solar controller 22 is connected to the mainboard 11. The mainboard 11 supplies power to the display screen devices on the operation panel 30 and the wireless transmission component 40. The power storage component 50 is connected in parallel to the line between the solar controller 22 and the mainboard 11. When the photovoltaic power generation panel 21 generates electricity, the power greater than the load part is used to charge the power storage component 50. When the solar power generation power is less than the load demand power, the power storage component 50 discharges and supplies power to the load together.

[0030] See also Figure 2-5The operation panel 30 is hinged inside the front of the box body 10. An alarm switch 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the operation panel 30. A coupling member 32 is fixedly installed inside the alarm switch 31. One end of the coupling member 32 is connected to the main board 11 through a wire. An elliptical frame 33 is rotatably arranged inside the alarm switch 31. The elliptical frame 33 is used for sliding connection with the coupling member 32. The elliptical frame 33 contacts the coupling member 32, so that the circuit of the coupling member 32 is connected, and the signal is sent to the remote monitoring personnel through the main board 11 and the wireless transmission component 40; the axis of the elliptical frame 33 A rotating shaft 34 is provided at the center, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 34 drives the elliptical frame 33 to rotate. The bottom of the rotating shaft 34 passes through the bottom of the alarm switch 31 and is fixedly installed with a lock tongue 35. One side of the lock tongue 35 is engaged with the interior of the box body 10. The top of the rotating shaft 34 passes through the alarm switch 31 and is fixedly installed with a knob 36. When the knob 36 is turned, the knob 36 drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. In conjunction with the alarm switch 31 and the wireless transmission component 40, when the operation panel 30 is opened, the operation will be transmitted to the remote monitoring personnel through the wireless transmission component to alarm, leaving an operation record.

[0031] See also Figure 6 A torsion spring 37 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the elliptical frame 33, and one end of the torsion spring 37 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the alarm switch 31. After turning the knob 36, the elliptical frame 33 is driven to rotate and return to its original position under the restoring force of the torsion spring 37. When the operation inside the box 10 is completed, the knob 36 needs to be turned again. The opening time of the box 10 and whether the box 10 is closed after opening can be obtained based on the interval between the two turns of the knob 36.

[0032] See also Figure 5 The connecting member 32 is an elastic metal sheet with a certain arc shape. When the elliptical frame 33 rotates, it squeezes the connecting member 32 of the elastic metal sheet, so that the circuits of the two groups of connecting members 32 are connected. Since the elastic metal sheet 32 ​​undergoes elastic deformation, the contact effect is guaranteed when the elliptical frame 33 contacts the elastic metal sheet, avoiding the deterioration of the contact effect and the inability to complete the alarm due to long-term use.

[0033] See also Figure 1-3 A door 13 is hinged on the front of the box body 10, and a transparent panel 14 is arranged on the front of the door 13. When it is necessary to observe the devices on the operation panel 30, such as the display indicator lights, the observation can be completed through the transparent panel 14, and there is no need to open the door 13. The operation panel 30 can be covered and locked to prevent water ingress and misoperation.
