[0025] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The present utility model is not limited to this embodiment, and other embodiments also belong to the scope of the present utility model as long as they conform to the gist of the present utility model.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, in view of the above problems existing in the prior art, a power supply monitoring and control box for upper rack is now provided, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, including:
[0027] A standard upper rack chassis 1, on the inner side wall of which there are provided a plurality of rail fuses 100, and on the outer wall of the standard upper rack chassis 1 there are installed a plurality of DC circuit breakers 200 and a plurality of double digital display meters 300;
[0028] A DC power supply 400, installed at the bottom inside the standard upper rack chassis 1, the DC power supply 400 is respectively connected to each DC circuit breaker 200, each DC circuit breaker 200 is correspondingly connected to a rail fuse 100, and each rail fuse 100 is correspondingly connected to a double digital display meter 300 to form a plurality of independent monitoring circuits, and each monitoring circuit is correspondingly connected to a product to be measured.
[0029] Specifically, the power supply monitoring and control box for upper rack in this embodiment adopts a standard upper rack chassis applicable to a 19-inch standard cabinet. In this embodiment, four DC circuit breakers 200, four rail fuses 100 and four double digital display meters 300 are provided. The power supply monitoring and control box for upper rack can support the independent formation of up to 4 power supply outputs from one-way power supply, greatly increasing the flexibility of power supply selection, increasing the resource utilization rate of the power supply, and reducing the use cost of the power supply.
[0030] In order to monitor the voltage and current values of each independent power supply, a double digital display meter 300 with voltage and current monitoring functions is selected in the present utility model. The voltage monitoring range supports DC 0 - 19.99V, 0 - 199V, 0 - 600V, and the current monitoring range supports 0 - 1.999A, 19.99A, 50A, 100A; and the double digital display meter 300 is independently powered by 220VAC, which can support the acquisition of the current value at the positive end of the power supply, reducing the occurrence probability of display shunt; there is a metering detection point led out below each double digital display meter 300, and it can be accessed by a multimeter for comparative metering;
[0031] Although the DC circuit breaker 200 also has overvoltage and overcurrent protection functions, in order to further ensure the power supply safety of the equipment, a fuse is added to the monitoring circuit. Conventional glass fuses usually support a maximum power supply of 20A, while the DC circuit breaker 200 in this embodiment can support a maximum of 63A. The dual digital display head 300 can support a maximum current monitoring of 100A. To prevent the fuse from becoming a bottleneck for the maximum power supply current limit value in the rack-mounted power supply monitoring control box of this embodiment, a new type of rail fuse 100 is adopted, and its internal fuse can support a maximum of 63A;
[0032] The conventional power supply is of the size of 1 / 2 - 2U and cannot be directly rack-mounted. If it needs to be rack-mounted, additional rack-mounted panels and brackets need to be installed. If 4 power supplies are rack-mounted at the same time, at least 6U of installation space in the cabinet needs to be occupied; while the power consumption generated by these 4 power supplies usually can be achieved by 1 19-inch 1U or 2U high rack-mounted power supply. The standard rack-mounted chassis in this embodiment is a 19-inch standard rack-mounted chassis structure with a height of 3U. Using a rack-mounted power supply with a height of 1U or 2U plus the standard rack-mounted chassis of the present utility model can improve the space utilization rate in the standard cabinet to a certain extent.
[0033] Specifically, the current monitoring wiring of the dual digital display head 300 in this embodiment is on the positive line of the DC power supply 400, which can effectively prevent the shunt phenomenon when multiple measured products share the same ground.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, a 2P DC circuit breaker 200 is adopted to perform open circuit control on both the positive line and the negative line of the DC power supply 400.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, multiple programmable high-current relay modules 500 are also provided on the bottom plate of the standard rack-mounted chassis 1, and a programmable high-current relay module 500 is also connected between each DC circuit breaker 200 and the corresponding rail fuse 100.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, 2 programmable relay modules 500 are built-in. One is used for programming the positive power supply line and is connected to the positive line between the DC circuit breaker 200 and the corresponding rail fuse 100, and the other is used for programming the negative power supply line and is connected to the negative line between the DC circuit breaker 200 and the corresponding rail fuse 100. The programmable relay module 500 uses a serial port for communication control.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, multiple programmable voltage and current acquisition modules 600 are also provided on the bottom plate of the standard rack-mounted chassis 1, and a programmable voltage and current acquisition module 600 is connected after each dual digital display head 300.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are 4 built-in programmable voltage and current acquisition modules 600, which can collect voltage and current values in real time. The measured voltage range supports 0.05 - 300V, the resolution is 0.01V, the measurement accuracy is 1%, the measured current is 100A, the resolution is 0.01A, and the measurement accuracy is 1%. The programmable voltage and current acquisition module 600 uses a serial port for communication control;
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the DC power supply 400 uses a 5V power supply module to supply power to the programmable relay module 500 and the programmable voltage and current acquisition module 600.
[0040] Specifically, currently, most test items are developing towards automation. Although the rack-mounted power supply monitoring and control box in the foregoing embodiment can support expanding one-way power supply into four-way power supply for use, it only supports conventional hardware control and acquisition methods, and requires manual control and on-site visual inspection to record data; when long-term environmental tests are required, the conventional hardware control and acquisition methods will consume a large amount of human resources; therefore, in this embodiment, 2 programmable high-current relay modules 500 are added to the rack-mounted power supply monitoring and control box, which are respectively used for programmable control of the positive and negative lines of the power supply; 4 programmable voltage and current acquisition modules 600 are added, which can monitor and measure the voltage and current values of each power supply in real time through software; a 5V DC power supply 400 is used to supply power to the programmable high-current relay module 500 and the programmable voltage and current acquisition module 600. The equivalent diagram of the monitoring circuit formed is as Figure 3 shown. It is upgraded to support programmable power supply output and programmable real-time acquisition of voltage and current; the power supply output time can be automatically controlled through software and the voltage and current values can be monitored in real time, and the data can be saved in real-time monitoring through software for easy review after the test. When the software detects abnormal voltage and current, the power supply output can be programmed to cut off immediately to protect the product under test.

The fuse mounting plate 14 also has two serial communication interfaces, which are respectively used for communication with the program-controlled relay module 500 and the program-controlled voltage and current acquisition module 600.
