Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gas flow direction monitoring, and particularly relates to an inflation device with a gas state monitoring function. Background Technique

[0002] GIS (GAS insulated SWITCHGEAR) is the English abbreviation of gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear. GIS consists of circuit breakers, disconnectors, earthing switches, instrument transformers, lightning arresters, busbars, connectors, and outgoing terminals. These devices or components are all enclosed in a metal-earthed enclosure, and a certain pressure of SF6 insulating gas is filled inside, so it is also called SF6 metal-enclosed switchgear.

[0003] With the increasing widespread application of GIS, and SF6 gas being its core insulating medium, it is necessary for staff to fill SF6 gas into GIS through gas cylinders filled with SF6 gas. The safety and accuracy of its inflation operation are particularly important. However, traditional SF6 inflation devices have the problem that the gas flow direction cannot be visually judged. In the prior art, the gas flow direction is often roughly judged based on the numerical changes of the pressure gauges on the gas cylinders and GIS equipment. However, this method is not intuitive and relies on the experience of the staff. Moreover, the following situations may occur: for example, during the inflation process, the pressure gauge is damaged and the numerical display is inaccurate. In this case, it is difficult for the staff to determine the gas flow direction. And due to the air pressure, when the air pressure in the GIS equipment is greater than that in the gas cylinder, the gas in the GIS equipment will flow out, which will reduce the SF6 gas pressure in the GIS equipment, thereby affecting its own insulation effect. And because the pressure gauge is damaged, the staff cannot determine the gas flow direction, so it is easy to endanger the safety of the staff responsible for inflation on site; or a malfunction occurs at the inflation port, resulting in gas accumulation in the inflation pipe, which is prone to explosion. Therefore, an inflation device capable of monitoring the gas flow direction is needed, and the utility model solves this technical problem. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model provides an inflation device with a gas state monitoring function, which can monitor the gas flow direction while performing the inflation work, and can visually display the gas flow direction, so that the staff can determine the gas flow direction and improve the safety of the staff.

The monitoring mechanism includes a housing, a collection module connected within the housing, a power supply module for providing power, a valve module connected to the inflation mechanism, a human-machine interaction unit for operating and displaying data, and an alarm for prompting staff. The collection module, the power supply module, the valve module, the alarm, and the human-machine interaction unit are respectively electrically connected to a processor.

[0006] Further, the inflation mechanism includes a gas cylinder filled with SF6 gas, and a first inflation pipe with one end connected to the gas outlet of the gas cylinder.

[0020] See Figures 1 - 3 , an inflation device with a gas status monitoring function, including an inflation mechanism for inflating the GIS device 1, and a monitoring mechanism 3 connected to the inflation mechanism. The monitoring mechanism 3 includes an outer shell 6, an acquisition module connected inside the outer shell 6, a power supply module for providing power, a valve module connected to the inflation mechanism, a human-computer interaction unit 6 for operating and displaying data, and an alarm 17 for prompting the staff. The acquisition module, the power supply module, the valve module, the alarm 17, and the human-computer interaction unit 6 are respectively electrically connected to the processor 11. The processor 11 in this embodiment is an MCU module.

[0021] Furthermore, the inflation mechanism includes a gas cylinder 5 filled with SF6 gas, and a first charging pipe 4 with one end connected to the air outlet of the gas cylinder 5. The other end of the first charging pipe 4 is connected to the valve module, and the valve module is connected to the GIS device 1 through a second charging pipe 2.

[0022] Further, the valve module includes a built-in pipeline 16 disposed in the housing 6 and connected to the first charging pipe 4, a solenoid valve 15 disposed on the built-in pipeline 16, and a pressure reducing valve 13 communicated with the built-in pipeline 16. The built-in pipeline 16 is connected to the second charging pipe 2, and the sampling module is connected to the built-in pipeline 16.

[0023] Further, the sampling module includes a sensor assembly 14 connected to the built-in pipeline 16 and an acquisition unit 12 electrically connected to the sensor assembly 14. The acquisition unit 12 is electrically connected to the processor 11. The sensor assembly 14 is used to collect information on the pressure, flow rate, and flow direction of the gas.

[0024] Further, the power supply module includes a charging interface 8 connected to the housing 6, a lithium battery 9 electrically connected to the charging interface 8, and a power management unit 10 electrically connected to the lithium battery 9. The power management unit 10 is electrically connected to the processor 11.

[0025] Further, the alarm 17 includes a buzzer and a light emitting diode connected to the housing 6. The buzzer and the light emitting diode are respectively electrically connected to the processor 11.

[0026] The technical effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0027] Connect the first charging pipe 4 and the second charging pipe 2 to the monitoring mechanism 3 respectively. The first charging pipe 4 is connected to the gas cylinder 5. Before connecting the second charging pipe 2 to the GIS device 1, it is necessary to first open the gas cylinder 5, release the SF6 gas therein, and discharge the air between the first charging pipe 4, the second charging pipe 2, and the built-in pipeline 16, and then connect the second charging pipe 2 to the GIS device 1;

[0028] After the device is connected, turn on the monitoring mechanism 3. The liquid crystal screen of the human-computer interaction interface will display the startup screen, and then work. The air in the gas cylinder 5 will pass through the built-in pipeline 16 of the monitoring mechanism 3. After the sensor assembly 14 collects the pressure, flow rate, and flow direction of the gas, it will send the data to the acquisition unit 12. After receiving the data, the acquisition unit 12 will send the data to the processor 11. The processor 11 will transmit the obtained data to the human-computer interaction unit 6, thereby displaying the data and enabling the staff to understand the gas state;

[0029] When the air inlet of the GIS device 1 is blocked or fails, and the gas is difficult to enter the GIS device 1, the gas will gather in the inflation pipe 1 4, the inflation pipe 2 2 and the built-in pipeline 16. When the air pressure exceeds the set maximum value and lasts for more than the set time, the processor 11 will control the solenoid valve 15 to close and open the pressure reducing valve 13 to deflate to prevent the device from bursting. At the same time, the controller will control the alarm 17 to sound and light alarm to remind the staff, so that the staff can find the situation in time and respond in time, and then record the time and cause of the abnormal event. When the staff opens the solenoid valve 15 through the human-computer interaction interface and releases the locking state, the monitoring mechanism 3 is restarted and inflated. When the staff does not restart and the air pressure returns to normal, the processor 11 automatically closes the pressure reducing valve 13 and opens the solenoid valve 15;

[0030] When the gas fills the GIS device 1 and the air pressure is balanced, the processor 11 controls the solenoid valve 15 to close, and the liquid crystal screen of the human-machine interface displays that the inflation is completed.
