Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of AC locomotive detection, and specifically relates to an automatic detection system for a low-voltage electrical cabinet. Background Art

[0002] The low-voltage electrical cabinet is the carrier of various electrical equipment and microcomputer network control systems in the main circuit, auxiliary circuit and control circuit of the AC locomotive. It is an important part of the locomotive control system. It has a large number of lines and complex logic. When the low-voltage electrical cabinet is shipped or repaired, it is a heavy and important task to detect its wiring logic, insulation condition, withstand voltage performance and contact resistance. At present, there are problems such as lagging in information technology, over-reliance on personnel experience, lack of automated testing equipment, and insufficient accumulation of test data in the inspection and maintenance of locomotive electrical cabinets. The main problems are as follows:

[0003] (1) The use of manual detection and manual judgment results leads to low troubleshooting efficiency. For example, in the wiring logic detection process, operators need to check thousands of wires one by one. This is a huge workload and inefficient, which can easily cause visual fatigue and seriously affect work efficiency. If there is an abnormal interaction between device signals, it cannot be directly extracted and the inspectors cannot quickly find the cause of the problem.

[0004] (2) The test methods are primitive and the technical level of operators is high, which restricts the improvement of production capacity. The main processes of the electrical cabinet test are all manually operated and inspected by naked eyes. Various inspection items require multiple equipment and instruments to test. Different operation methods, inspection positions and viewing angles will affect the accuracy of the results. The test results are completely dependent on the technical level of the operators. The training of operators mainly relies on the training method of master-apprentice combined with on-site operation. The training cycle is long and the output quality cannot be guaranteed during the training process.

[0005] (3) A unified and complete information management system has not yet been established. Currently, test reports are recorded and stored in paper form, which is not convenient for data review and transmission, is not conducive to the tracking and management of locomotive quality throughout its life cycle, and cannot provide historical traceability functions.

[0046] The present disclosure is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0047] There are more than 1,000 cables in the low-voltage electrical cabinet of an AC locomotive. If the manual judgment method is directly used, the troubleshooting efficiency is low. However, if you want to use an automatic method to detect more than 1,000 cables, it is not an easy task. If you directly add detection devices and corresponding loops in the low-voltage electrical cabinet of an AC locomotive, it is bound to increase the design complexity of the low-voltage electrical cabinet of an AC locomotive and reduce the reliability of the low-voltage electrical cabinet of an AC locomotive. Therefore, this application classifies more than 1,000 cables in the low-voltage electrical cabinet of an AC locomotive according to wiring functions and wiring methods, and each category is grouped together as a cage, which is convenient for test control and test wiring.

[0061] In this embodiment, the insulation test is a test to check the dielectric strength of the insulating material or the insulating structure of the electrical equipment, the purpose of which is to check the safe operation of the product and equipment and prevent short circuits and subsequent dangerous accidents. The insulation test in this embodiment is to detect the resistance value of any cable to be tested and all other cables (including the ground wire) at a specified voltage (the railway standard voltage index is 500V, and the system design voltage is 550V). When the resistance value is greater than 5M ohms, it is qualified. Among them, the cable to be tested refers to the cable connecting the control cabinet and the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical cabinet, and its function is to communicate the electrical connection between the control cabinet and the electrical cabinet to be tested (i.e., the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical cabinet).

[0062] Insulation detection principle block diagram Figure 2As shown, after the industrial computer issues an insulation detection instruction, the first single-chip microcomputer in the insulation and line sequence detection unit, namely MCU (MCU, Microcontroller Unit, also known as single-chip microcomputer), model STC8A8K64SA12, monitors whether the voltage at point T1 of the high-voltage generator meets the requirements. After the requirements are met, the first switching switch is turned on, and the functions of the first switching switch and the second switching switch are monitored through the voltage monitoring points T2 and T3 to prevent accidental output of high voltage from damaging devices that are not resistant to high voltage. Figure 2 There are two diodes between the low voltage generator, the high voltage generator and the first switch, and the diodes have the function of protecting the circuit. The industrial computer sends a test command with a high voltage output line number, and the first single chip controls the first output switch array to output high voltage to the corresponding line number (line 1, line 2, ... line N) through the output interface, and the high voltage on line 1, line 2, ... line N is then sent to the first input switch array through the input interface. The voltage monitoring circuit detects the induced voltage of all line numbers (line 1, line 2, ... line N) to the output high voltage line number, and then the insulation resistance between the two lines can be calculated by Ohm's law.

[0063] Insulation detection uses a specified voltage output to a certain line under test, and the acquisition part samples the voltage of all lines (voltage monitoring circuit). Based on the obtained sampled voltage, known source voltage and sampling resistance, the resistance between lines and between lines and ground can be obtained by calculation.

[0064] The following example illustrates the calculation method of resistance. A person skilled in the art can easily obtain the calculation method of resistance through the above-mentioned induced voltage. Assuming that high voltage is output on line 1, the insulation resistance between line 1 and line 2 is R12, the insulation resistance between line 1 and line 3 is R13, the insulation resistance between line 1 and line N is R1N, the protection resistor is RL, and the sampling resistor in the voltage detection circuit is RC, then the relationship between the sampling voltage VC (i.e., the induced voltage detected in the voltage monitoring circuit) and the high voltage VH and the resistance is as follows:

[0065] VC2 / VH=RC / (R12+RL+RC);

[0066] VC3 / VH=RC / (R13+RL+RC);

[0067] VCN / VH=RC / (R1N+RL+RC);

[0068] Since VH, RL, and RC are all known quantities and VC is the collected value, R12, R13, and R1N can be inferred in reverse order to obtain the insulation resistance value of each line to line 1.

[0069] The insulation and line sequence detection unit further comprises: a line sequence detection subunit, the line sequence detection subunit comprises: a switching relay, a protection resistor and a photoelectric coupler;

[0070] One end of the cable to be detected in the cage is connected to the first end of the switching relay, the second end of the switching relay is connected to the first end of the protective resistor, the second end of the protective resistor is connected to the first input end of the photoelectric coupler, the first output end of the photoelectric coupler is connected to the input end of the control unit, the low-voltage circuit board is connected to the first end of the coil of the switching relay, the second end of the coil of the switching relay is grounded, the second input end of the photoelectric coupler is grounded, and the second output end of the photoelectric coupler is grounded.

[0071] exist Figure 2 The low voltage generator is used to generate the low voltage used for line sequence detection. Figure 3 As shown in the schematic diagram of line sequence detection, a group of line sequence cables to be tested, namely line 1 to line N, are selected, and one of the lines to be tested is selected by controlling switch S to input the line sequence voltage pulse signal. The control unit can judge whether the line sequence is correctly connected through the high and low levels output by the optical coupler. In order to shorten the detection time, multiple detection units will be tested at the same time, and the output can only be output by one line at a time.

[0072] Working principle of the insulation and line sequence detection unit: The insulation and line sequence detection unit is designed with a first single-chip microcomputer, the single-chip microcomputer model is STC8A8K64SA12, the first single-chip microcomputer is connected to the control unit through the RS485 communication protocol, and the first single-chip microcomputer communicates with the control unit. When it is necessary to test the "line insulation" and "line-to-ground insulation" of the low-voltage electrical cabinet, the industrial computer sends an insulation test command with a high-voltage output line number, and the control unit controls the first output switching array to output high voltage to the corresponding line number (line 1, line 2, ... line N) through the output interface, and the high voltage on line 1, line 2, ... line N is then sent to the input switching array through the first input interface, and the voltage monitoring circuit collects the induced voltage of all line numbers (line 1, line 2, ... line N) to the output high-voltage line number, and then the insulation resistance between the two lines can be calculated by Ohm's law.

[0073] When the "line sequence" of the low-voltage electrical cabinet needs to be tested, after the industrial computer issues a line sequence detection command, the first single-chip microcomputer in the insulation and line sequence detection unit controls the low-voltage circuit board to generate the low voltage used for line sequence detection. Select a group of line sequence cables 1 to N to be tested, select one of the tested cables through the control switch S to input the line sequence voltage pulse signal, and the control unit can determine whether the line sequence is correctly connected through the high and low levels output by the optical coupler.

[0076] In this embodiment, the relay contact resistance and action detection principle are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, by giving a specified measurement voltage value (i.e., contact resistance measurement voltage) or driving voltage value (i.e., relay action driving voltage), a two-stage switching (i.e., a third switching switch and a fourth switching switch) switch (in this embodiment, the two-stage switching switch is an electronic switch) is used to turn on the corresponding circuit, so that the relay / contactor is turned on to form a routing path, and then the two ends of the route are respectively connected to the measurement terminals of the milliohm detection subunit, and the resistance value of the route is obtained by the milliohm meter detection subunit. In this embodiment, the milliohm detection subunit is implemented using a milliohm meter.

[0077] Relay contact resistance detection working process: when it is necessary to test the "relay contact resistance" of the low-voltage electrical cabinet, after the industrial computer issues a relay contact resistance detection instruction, the second single-chip microcomputer (single-chip microcomputer model is STC8A8K64SA12) in the relay contact resistance and action detection unit (23) controls the action voltage board to give a specified measurement voltage value and drive voltage value, and uses a two-stage switching switch to turn on the corresponding circuit, so that the relay / contactor is turned on to form a routing path, and then the two ends of the routing are respectively connected to the measurement terminals of the milliohm meter to obtain the resistance value of the routing.

[0078] Relay action detection working process: Relay action detection is to detect whether the relay can achieve complete closure and release under the specified driving voltage. By inputting the specified voltage to the relay driving end and measuring the contact resistance between the relay contacts, it can be determined whether the relay meets the requirements. The principle of relay action detection is the same as that of contact resistance. The difference lies in the different voltages given to the relay. The relay contact resistance test input is the rated driving voltage of the relay, and the relay action detection input is the minimum driving voltage of the relay.

[0084] The switchboard comprises: an AC power supply, a sixth switch and a voltage and current output submodule;

[0085] The output end of the AC power supply is connected to the first end of the sixth switch, the second end of the sixth switch is connected to the input end of the transformer coupling circuit, and the third end of the sixth switch is connected to the input end of the voltage and current output submodule;

[0086] The AC power supply is used to provide a preset voltage and current;

[0090] In this embodiment, during energy consumption detection, a voltage and current signal is simulated and input into the energy consumption meter, and the indication of the energy consumption meter is manually observed to determine whether it is reasonable, thereby judging the energy consumption function. This embodiment is for the TQA2-AC-7 electronic single-phase watt-hour meter commonly used in AC locomotives. The input voltage signal is 0-187.5V at 50Hz, the transformation ratio is 25000:150, and the input current signal is 0-1.2A at 50Hz, the transformation ratio is 250:1. The voltage and current signals are input through a voltage transformer and a current transformer. The detection principle of the energy consumption meter is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, 50Hz voltage and current signals are artificially simulated and input into the energy consumption meter through voltage transformer and current transformer. The power consumption value of the energy consumption meter is calculated according to the given voltage, current and transformation ratio. The power consumption value of the energy consumption meter is compared with the actual display value of the energy consumption meter to detect the actual function of the energy consumption meter.

[0091] Energy consumption meter detection working process: When it is necessary to test the "energy consumption meter function" of the low-voltage electrical cabinet, after the industrial computer issues an energy consumption meter detection command, the energy consumption meter detection unit controls the switchboard to give a voltage value and a current value, and then transmits the voltage to the switchboard through the transformer coupling circuit (see Figure 5 The power consumption value of the energy consumption meter is calculated according to the given voltage, current and transformation ratio, and the power consumption value is displayed through the voltage and current output submodule. The power consumption value is compared with the actual display value of the energy consumption meter to detect the actual energy consumption of the energy consumption meter.

[0092] The withstand voltage test unit includes: a third single chip microcomputer, a withstand voltage test control board, a withstand voltage generator, a seventh switch, an eighth switch and a voltage monitoring circuit;

[0093] The input end of the withstand voltage test control board is connected to the control end of the third single-chip microcomputer, the output end of the withstand voltage test control board is connected to the input end of the withstand voltage generator, the output end of the withstand voltage generator is connected to the first end of the seventh switch, the second end of the seventh switch is respectively connected to the first end of the voltage monitoring circuit and the first end of the eighth switch, the second end of the eighth switch is respectively connected to the second end of the voltage monitoring circuit and the cable to be detected in the cage, the cable to be detected in the cage is connected to the test end of the withstand voltage test control board, and the third single-chip microcomputer communicates with the control unit.

[0094] In this embodiment, the withstand voltage test is to give the device a voltage higher than its rated voltage and maintain it for a certain period of time to determine whether the insulation material and space distance of the device meet the requirements. In this embodiment, the withstand voltage test is specifically the maximum leakage current of all lead wires (also understood as cables in the cage) in the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical cabinet to the outer casing under a voltage that lasts for a certain period of time. If the leakage current exceeds the standard, it is unqualified. The withstand voltage test principle diagram is shown in the figure below. Figure 6As shown, during the withstand voltage test, it is necessary to ensure that the cabinet is reliably grounded, and the cable to be tested (which can be understood as a cable to be tested in the cage, or a cable among all the lead-out wires) must be connected to the withstand voltage test interface. The industrial computer sends an instruction, the third single-chip microcomputer receives the instruction sent by the control computer, and controls the withstand voltage test control board so that the withstand voltage generator sends the required voltage and detects the voltage. After the voltage detection feedback is confirmed to be correct, the seventh switch and the eighth switch output the voltage to the circuit under test. At this time, the third single-chip microcomputer monitors the leakage current in the circuit in real time. If the leakage current exceeds the standard, the voltage output withstand voltage generator is immediately turned off, so that the withstand voltage generator no longer outputs voltage, and reports the leakage current value and the abnormal detection state; if the leakage current does not exceed the standard, the detection continues until the end of the preset detection cycle, and the maximum leakage current in the detection cycle and the normal detection state are reported.

[0095] The working process of the withstand voltage test: when it is necessary to test the "withstand voltage function" of the low-voltage electrical cabinet cable, after the industrial computer issues a withstand voltage detection command, the third single-chip microcomputer receives the command sent by the control computer, and controls the withstand voltage board to issue the required voltage and detect the voltage. At this time, the third single-chip microcomputer monitors the leakage current in the loop in real time. If the leakage current exceeds the standard, the voltage output is immediately shut down and the leakage current value and the abnormal detection status are reported; if the leakage current does not exceed the standard, the detection continues until the preset detection cycle ends, and the maximum leakage current within the detection cycle and the normal detection status are reported.

[0096] Through the above description of the principle and hardware structure of the automatic detection system of the low-voltage electrical cabinet, it is easy for those skilled in the art to write a program through software language so that the automatic detection system of the low-voltage electrical cabinet can realize various automatic detection functions. This embodiment only illustrates one implementation method:

[0097] The application software of this embodiment is developed in Java as the basic language and adopts the B / S application program of J2EE architecture. The application software mainly includes seven modules: line sequence detection, contact resistance detection, relay action detection, insulation detection, withstand voltage detection, energy consumption meter detection and system setting. Figure 7 As shown. Each detection function is an independent module, and the test sequence is: line sequence detection > relay action detection > contact resistance detection > insulation detection > withstand voltage detection > energy consumption meter detection. And set up three modules including user management, authority management and parameter setting. Among them, user management is responsible for the entry of tester information. Authority management is responsible for the allocation of administrator authority. The administrator has the functions of data deletion and parameter setting more than the operator. The parameter setting module mainly has the adjustment and setting of the test voltage, alarm threshold and reserved interface of the automatic detection device of the low-voltage electrical control cabinet of the AC locomotive.

[0098] The working process of the automatic detection system of the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical control cabinet is as follows:

[0099] Step S1: Connect the wires according to the actual detection sequence;

[0100] Step S2: Start the automatic detection program of the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical control cabinet and select a tester in the interactive interface;

[0101] Step S3: Enter the home page, where six detection modules are displayed side by side. First, select line sequence detection;

[0102] If you select other functions, the software will pop up an alarm box and you must go through the line sequence detection before you can perform other operations;

[0103] Step S4: Enter the number of the low-voltage control cabinet to be tested in the online sequence detection function. If manual testing is selected first, you will not be able to wait until the manual test is completed before selecting automatic testing. After the test is completed, a pop-up prompt will be displayed to indicate the test result. After confirming that the test is completed, it will automatically return to the main interface.

[0104] Step S5: The remaining detection functions are performed in sequence. When all function detections are completed, a pop-up window prompts that the detection is completed and a report is automatically generated and stored in the system.

[0105] You can view it through the history record in the upper right corner of the system. There is a "System Settings" selection button in the upper right corner of the program. After clicking it, there are three interfaces: user management, permission management and parameter configuration.

[0106] Select User Management to add and delete users.

[0107] Permission management allows users to choose whether to grant administrator permissions.

[0108] The parameter configuration can adjust the remaining ports, withstand voltage test voltage, withstand voltage test result alarm threshold, contact resistance test result alarm threshold, insulation test result alarm threshold and energy consumption test result alarm threshold, such as Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 shown.

[0109] It should be noted that the test object in this embodiment (i.e., the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical cabinet) has some external connectors, and most of the other interfaces that need to be tested are located on the wiring row inside the electrical cabinet, without external connectors. Since the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical cabinet has many wiring connections, repeated connections are more complicated work, so the cables in the cage should be designed as much as possible to be connected once on the AC locomotive low-voltage electrical cabinet.

[0110] The present embodiment proposes an automatic detection system for a low-voltage electrical cabinet, comprising: an industrial computer, a control cabinet, the control unit, the insulation and line sequence detection unit, the resistance and motion detection unit, the energy consumption meter detection unit and the withstand voltage test unit are in the control cabinet, the industrial computer is used to send detection instructions to the control unit; the control unit is used to send detection instructions to the insulation and line sequence detection unit, the resistance and motion detection unit, the energy consumption meter detection unit and the withstand voltage test unit, so that each unit realizes the corresponding detection function. The system of the present embodiment can automatically perform various detections on thousands of lines in the low-voltage electrical cabinet, solving the problems of information lag, over-reliance on personnel experience, lack of automated testing equipment, and insufficient accumulation of test data in the current detection and maintenance of low-voltage electrical cabinets for AC locomotives. The system reduces the maintenance cycle of low-voltage electrical cabinets, reduces the probability of human errors, and improves the level of detection automation and reliability.
