Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electromagnets, in particular to a direct current electromagnet coil control circuit. Background Art
[0002] 35kV switchgear is widely used in various electrical lines. Locking electromagnets are often used in 35kV switchgear. The function of the locking electromagnet is to provide a mechanical locking node for the switchgear. When it loses power, it pops up to lock the circuit breaker for electric and manual closing to prevent the danger caused by the accidental closing of the circuit breaker. It belongs to the five electrical protection functions. In daily operation, we often encounter ABB 35kV switchgear reporting closing circuit failure. Frequent inspection and analysis find that it is due to the fault of the locking electromagnet popping up, causing the closing circuit to be disconnected, resulting in the closing circuit failure.
[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking electromagnet is a common electrical component. The measured coil resistance is about 9kΩ, the working voltage is DC220V, the power is U2 / R≈5.4W, and the heat is relatively large. The locking electromagnet is monitored by a thermal imager during operation. It is found that the temperature of the locking electromagnet has approached 100℃ and reached 98.8℃ after ten minutes of power-on. Long-term high-temperature operation causes the deformation of the nylon sleeve inside the electromagnet and interference with the iron core, causing jamming and the coil burning, resulting in the circuit being broken and unable to be attracted, and the coil insulation is reduced, resulting in a short circuit, causing the coil to burn out, leading to the locking electromagnet failure.
[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned locking electromagnet failure problem, extend the life of the locking electromagnet, and at the same time enable the coil to operate reliably and maintain the operating position, we studied the relay action structure similar to the electromagnet principle. After the electromagnet's magnetic flux becomes larger, the input voltage is reduced. At this time, the electromagnet can still maintain sufficient attraction force, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption and reducing coil heating, thereby extending the service life of the electromagnet.
[0005] The relay action mechanism is composed of an electromagnet and an armature. Before the electromagnet is energized, the armature is affected by the spring force and does not contact the electromagnet. At this time, the magnetic circuit passes through the air. Since the magnetic permeability of air is low, the electromagnet requires a higher current to ensure reliable action. The resistance of the electromagnet is fixed, so the voltage required to reach the action current is also relatively fixed. This is one of the important parameters of the relay, the action voltage. When the relay is activated, the armature and the electromagnet change to direct contact. At this time, the magnetic permeability is greatly improved, and the electromagnet does not need to flow a higher current to overcome the traction of the spring to maintain the action state. Since the coil resistance is fixed, the voltage to reach the required current is also fixed, and this voltage is the holding voltage.
[0006] Similarly, before and after the electromagnet is actuated, the magnetic flux is similar to the relay action process. If after the action, the action voltage is converted to the holding voltage, the magnetic flux increases, and the holding voltage can also keep the electromagnet position unchanged, while the electromagnet power consumption is greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to design a locking electromagnet to extend its life. Utility Model Content

[0025] Here’s how it works:
[0026] Input circuit: Use fuse FU1 for short-circuit protection, and rectifier bridge D1 processes the input voltage, so there is no need to distinguish between positive and negative poles, which improves the speed of installation and replacement. R10 and LED2 are used to display the power input.
[0027] In the holding circuit, the R1 resistor is used to limit the current of the locking electromagnet. R9 and LED1 are used to display the holding voltage and can also be used as a coil on-off display to quickly determine the cause of the fault.
[0028] The freewheeling circuit will only work when the power is off. The coil is essentially an inductor. When the power is off, it will reversely induce a high-voltage spike. This high-voltage spike can easily break down and damage other electronic components. The purpose of adding this diode is to freewheel, short-circuit and consume the reverse high-voltage spike to protect the circuit.
[0029] The action circuit is composed of R7 and two transistors Q1 and Q2. Since the amplification factor of transistors with higher withstand voltage is generally smaller, two high withstand voltage transistors are used to form a Darlington transistor, which increases the amplification factor from β times of the original single tube to β*β times. This can greatly increase the value of the base resistance and reduce power loss and heat.
[0030] Delay start circuit: It is composed of R2, C2 and a Q5 transistor. When the power is turned on, the capacitor is charged. When the capacitor voltage exceeds 0.6V, Q5 is turned on, and the base voltage of Q1 is pulled down, so that the Darlington transistor is turned off. At this time, it switches to the holding circuit to reduce the latching electromagnet current.
[0031] The power-off delay reset circuit charges the C1 capacitor through the D2 diode when the power is on. When the power is off, the Q4 transistor turns on, making the Q3 transistor conduct, discharging the delayed start C2 capacitor (delay reset). When the power is on again, the Q4 transistor will turn off, and the Q3 transistor will also turn off synchronously, and the circuit will return to the initial power-on state.
[0032] By testing the locking electromagnet, the LED2 power indicator light is on at the moment of power-on, the electromagnet can reliably operate at 220V voltage and switch to the holding voltage of about 120V after a delay of about 1s, and the power drops from 5.4W to 1.6W. At the same time, LED1 lights up, and the suction force of the electromagnet is sufficient to keep it in the suction position. After power failure, the electromagnet can lose power immediately, LED1 and LED2 go out at the same time, and the above process can be repeated after power is restored. Unplug the power cord of the locking electromagnet to simulate the disconnection of the locking electromagnet, and LED1 goes out instantly. It can be judged that the locking electromagnet is short-circuited, which meets the design requirements. Under the room temperature of 26℃, use DC220V power supply and add the locking electromagnet life extension circuit to carry the load for 2 hours respectively. After the electromagnet temperature tends to be constant, the temperature of the locking electromagnet powered by DC220V reaches 120℃, and the temperature of the locking electromagnet powered by the locking electromagnet life extension circuit is 70℃, which can greatly slow down the aging speed and extend the service life of the electromagnet.
[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention.
