[0033] The following will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , this embodiment provides a lightning arrester counter monitoring device, including a housing 1, a circuit board 2, and a voiceprint acquisition module 3. Wherein, a grounding bolt 11 is provided at the top of the housing 1, the circuit board 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, the circuit board 2 is integrated with a signal processing module 21, a counting module 22, a microcontroller 23, and a display screen 24, the voiceprint acquisition module 3 is disposed outside the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the signal processing module 21. The display screen 24 is disposed on the counting module 22 and is electrically connected to the counting module 22 and the microcontroller 23.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the voiceprint acquisition module 3, the counting module 22, and the microcontroller 23 are common voiceprint collectors, counters, and controllers on the market, and the innovation point of this embodiment does not lie in this, so no further description will be given here.

[0036] The voiceprint acquisition module 3 is used to collect the sound signal generated when the lightning arrester operates and convert it into an electrical signal and transmit it to the signal processing module 21.

[0037] The signal processing module 21 is used to process the electrical signal collected by the voiceprint acquisition module 3 and transmit the processed electrical signal to the microcontroller 23. Specifically, the signal processing module 21 performs filtering, amplification, and analog-to-digital conversion processing on the electrical signal collected by the voiceprint acquisition module 3, extracts the characteristic parameters of the sound, and finally transmits the processed signal to the microcontroller 23.

[0038] In this embodiment, the signal processing module 21 further includes a circuit amplification module, a band-pass filtering module, and an AD conversion module. The circuit amplification module is used to amplify the weak mV signal collected by the voiceprint acquisition module into a V-level signal; the AD conversion module is used to perform AD conversion on the amplified signal, and the band-pass filtering module is used to filter out high-frequency interference from the electrical signal amplified by the circuit amplification module and retain the 20 Hz - 20 KHz voice signal. Specifically, the voice signal collected by the voiceprint acquisition module 3 passes through the circuit amplification module of the signal processing module 21, converts the weak mV signal of the voiceprint sensor into a V-level signal, then enters the band-pass filtering module to filter out high-frequency interference and retain the 20 Hz - 20 KHz voice signal. Then, the 20 Hz - 20 KHz voice signal enters the AD conversion module. The AD conversion module is a 16-bit AD converter, which converts it into 65,536 quantization levels, and each quantization level corresponds to a specific digital code. Then, the signal after AD conversion is connected to the microcontroller 23 through parallel data.

[0039] The microcontroller 23 is used to analyze and process the electrical signal transmitted by the signal processing module 21, judge the action condition of the lightning arrester, and transmit the processing result to the counting module 22. The counting module 22 is used to record the action times of the lightning arrester, and the display screen 24 is used to display the action times information of the lightning arrester.

[0040] Specifically, the microcontroller 23 first collects and stores the voiceprint features of the ambient noise, and enters the typical discharge signal and lightning voiceprint information. When the lightning arrester counter generates a lightning strike action, it starts the voiceprint monitoring and performs 1-minute wave recording. Then, the microcontroller 23 uses the adaptive filtering algorithm to analyze the lightning sound or electrical discharge sound from the voiceprint information, and compares it with the stored lightning strike voiceprint and discharge voiceprint (the electrical signal transmitted through the signal processing module 21), so as to determine whether the current action of the lightning arrester counter is caused by a lightning strike or an electrical discharge. Combining with the lightning arrester current monitoring, it improves the judgment accuracy of the lightning arrester counter for faults. During a lightning strike, the counter only performs the counting action and is displayed through the counter and the display screen 24, which is convenient for the staff to timely understand the working state of the lightning arrester and improves the safety and reliability of the power system.

[0041] Two installation parts 12 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the machine shell 1. The installation parts 12 are ear plates, and threaded holes are provided thereon. The specific installation can be carried out by screwing through the threaded holes.

[0042] Optionally, this application further includes a communication module. The communication module adopts the LoRa wireless communication method and communicates with the external aggregation node regularly, transmitting information such as the leakage current, resistive current, third harmonic, action times, and time in the lightning arrester counter to the centralized control system.

[0043] In summary, in this embodiment, the sound acquisition module 3 acquires the sound signal when the lightning arrester operates. Through the analysis and processing of the signal processing module 21 and the microcontroller 23, the operation of the lightning arrester can be monitored in real time, and the counter 22 and the display module 24 are used for display, which is convenient for the staff to timely understand the working state of the lightning arrester and improves the safety and reliability of the power system.

[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not separately describe various possible combination methods.

[0045] In addition, any combination can be made between different embodiments of the present invention as long as it does not violate the idea of the present invention, and it should also be regarded as the content disclosed by the present invention.
