[0028] Next, a rail type electric meter with arc recognition in the embodiments of the present utility model will be specifically described in conjunction with the drawings.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] For ease of understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 4, an embodiment of a rail type electric meter with arc recognition provided by the present utility model includes a housing 1, a sensor 10 and a mounting plate 11. The sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11 are located on both sides of the housing 1. A moving component is provided at one end of the housing 1 and on one side of the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11. The moving component includes two moving rods 6, a mounting shell 7, a fixing cover 8 and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanisms are respectively arranged on one side of the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11. The two moving rods 6 are slidably mounted on the top of the housing 1. The moving rods 6 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting shell 7. The fixing cover 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting shell 7 by bolts.

[0031] In this example, by setting the moving component, when the sensor 10 detects a fault arc, the power inside the electric meter is cut off, and the driving mechanism is controlled to drive the moving rod 6 to rise, so that the connecting head 9 is separated from the connecting end 5, and the electric meter can be separated from the wiring, reducing the damage to the electric meter caused by the high temperature at the connection between the wiring and the electric meter, increasing safety. By setting the mounting shell 7 and the fixing cover 8, the connecting head 9 can be installed in the mounting shell 7. By setting the moving rod 6, the mounting shell 7 and the fixing cover 8 can be driven to move up and down. By setting the driving mechanism, the moving rod 6 can be moved;

[0032] The sensor 10 is a fault arc detection sensor, and the fault arc detection sensor detects the arc in the following three ways:

[0033] ① Detection by current:

[0034] The simplest method for the fault arc detector to detect the arc is to judge by the characteristics of the current amplitude and the slope of the current waveform when the arc occurs. However, this judgment only through the time domain has certain limitations and may lead to misjudgment.

[0035] ② Detection by analyzing the signal in the frequency domain:

[0036] This analysis method analyzes and judges the current and voltage signals from the perspective of the frequency domain, which is simpler and more convenient than the time domain analysis method and is more intuitive physically. The judgment of the fault arc will be more accurate. However, if the frequency of the signal is inconsistent with the sampling frequency, it will lead to spectrum leakage and fence effect, making the calculation result lose accuracy and thus affecting the arc detection.

[0037] ③ The fault arc detector can detect through wavelet transform:

[0038] The wavelet transform can produce good local change characteristics in both the time domain and the frequency domain. Moreover, it has good adaptability to signals. Thus, most signals can be extracted from the original data. This method mainly uses the wavelet transform to analyze the fault arc current signal, which can not only reflect the mutation of the current signal, but also detect the magnitude of this mutation. Through the research and analysis of this information, the fault arc detector can further improve the judgment accuracy of the arc.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, connection grooves 2 are provided at the top ends on both sides of the housing 1, two moving grooves 3 are provided at the top of the housing 1, the moving grooves 3 communicate with the corresponding connection grooves 2, a sliding groove is provided on one side of the groove wall of the moving groove 3, and one side of the moving rod 6 is slidably installed on the groove wall of the sliding groove. A rack is fixedly installed on one side of the moving rod 6.

[0040] In this example, the moving rod 6 is installed in the sliding groove through a slider protruding from one side, and the sliding groove limits the moving rod 6 when the moving rod 6 moves up and down.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the driving mechanism includes a support plate 13, a motor 14 and a gear 15. The support plate 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11 respectively. The support plate 13 is slidably installed on the groove wall of the corresponding connection groove 2 respectively. The motor 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 13. The gear 15 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 14. The gear 15 meshes with the corresponding rack. A circuit board 4 and a connection end 5 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The connection end 5 is connected to the circuit board 4 through a wire. A connection head 9 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting shell 7. The connection head 9 is engaged with the connection end 5. A single-chip microcomputer 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting plate 11. The single-chip microcomputer 12 is connected to the motor 14 on one side of the mounting plate 11 through a wire.

[0042] In this example, the housing 1, the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11 are fixedly installed on the guide rail on one side of the wall through bolts. And when the installation is completed, the driving mechanisms installed on one side of the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11 are respectively inserted into the connection grooves 2 on both sides of the housing 1, and the gears 15 are respectively engaged with the racks on one side of the corresponding moving rods 6. Starting the motor 14 can drive the gear 15 to rotate, thereby driving the moving rod 6 to move.

[0043] In this example, the sensor 10 can be selected as a fault arc sensor for checking the fault arc in the electric meter, and independent power supplies are provided on the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11, and people can operate after the electric meter is powered off.

[0044] In this example, communication modules are provided in the circuit of the sensor 10 and on the single-chip microcomputer 12. Through wireless connection, the motors 14 thereon can be started synchronously.

[0045] In this example, the motor 14 can be a servo motor. During the operation of the servo motor, its motion state is detected through a mechanism called "position feedback". Specifically, there are two or more permanent magnets or electromagnets on the rotor of the servo motor, which are installed on a rotating ring. When the rotor rotates around the axis, a magnetic pole on the ring interacts with a magnetic pole on the rotor, causing the motion of another magnetic pole. This moving magnetic pole interacts with the second magnetic pole, generating an electric current on the ring, and the direction of the current is opposite to the rotation direction of the rotor.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 shown, several indicator lights 16 are fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1.

[0048] In this example, the indicator lights 16 can be large LED light strips that emit red light and are connected to the single-chip microcomputer 12 through wires. When a fault arc appears in the electric meter, the red lights turn on, allowing the staff to quickly locate the faulty electric meter.

[0049] Working principle: During installation and wiring, the housing 1, the sensor 10, and the mounting plate 11 are fixedly installed on the guide rail on one side of the wall through bolts. When the installation is completed, the driving mechanisms installed on one side of the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11 are respectively inserted into the connection slots 2 on both sides of the housing 1, and the gears 15 are respectively engaged with the racks on one side of the corresponding moving rods 6. The connecting head 9 is inserted into the mounting shell 7 and fixed by the fixing cover 8. Then the moving rod 6 descends, driving the connecting head 9 to insert into the connection end 5. When a fault occurs, the motor 14 starts and can drive the gear 15 to rotate, thereby driving the moving rod 6 to move, causing the connecting head 9 to disengage from the connection end 5. And by setting the moving components, when the sensor 10 detects a fault arc, the inside of the electric meter is powered off, and the driving mechanism is controlled to drive the moving rod 6 to rise, causing the connecting head 9 to disengage from the connection end 5, which can disconnect the electric meter from the wiring, reduce the damage to the electric meter caused by the high temperature at the connection between the wiring and the electric meter, increase safety. By setting the mounting shell 7 and the fixing cover 8 to install the connecting head 9 in the mounting shell 7, by setting the moving rod 6, the mounting shell 7 and the fixing cover 8 can be driven to move up and down, and by setting the driving mechanism, the moving rod 6 can be moved;

[0050] The housing 1, the sensor 10, and the mounting plate 11 are fixedly installed on the guide rail on one side of the wall through bolts. When the installation is completed, the driving mechanisms installed on one side of the sensor 10 and the mounting plate 11 are respectively inserted into the connection slots 2 on both sides of the housing 1, and the gears 15 are respectively engaged with the racks on one side of the corresponding moving rods 6. When the motor 14 starts, it can drive the gear 15 to rotate, thereby driving the moving rod 6 to move.

[0051] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present application.
