[0039] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0040] It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, further discussion thereof in subsequent drawings is not required.
[0041] See Figure 1 As shown, the insulation detection circuit of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described.
[0042] The insulation detection circuit of the embodiments of the present disclosure may include a first bus bar 51, a second bus bar 52, a first switch KM1, a leakage current detection circuit 20, and a switch circuit 30.
[0043] For the leakage current detection circuit 20, the first end of the leakage current detection circuit 20 is used to connect to the positive pole of the power supply; the second end of the leakage current detection circuit 20 is used to connect to the negative pole of the power supply.
[0044] The first bus bar 51 is connected to the first end of the leakage current detection circuit 20, and the second bus bar 52 is connected to the second end of the leakage current detection circuit 20.
[0045] The first end of the switch circuit 30 is connected to the first bus bar 51, the second end of the switch circuit 30 is connected to the second bus bar 52, and the switch circuit 30 is used to connect the load 31 in series. Among them, the load 31 is various electrical equipment such as a motor, a lamp, or a refrigerator, for example.
[0046] The first switch KM1 can be disposed on the first bus bar 51 and is located between the switch circuit 30 and the leakage current detection circuit 20. The first bus bar 51 may be a positive bus bar, and the second bus bar 52 may be a negative bus bar. The first bus bar 51 may also be a negative bus bar, and the second bus bar 52 may also be a positive bus bar, which is not limited herein.
[0047] In some examples, such as Figure 2 shown, the leakage current detection circuit 20 is, for example, Figure 2 the DC insulation detection module JYJC in, and the first end of the leakage current detection circuit 20 can be connected to the first bus 51, and the second end of the leakage current detection circuit 20 can be connected to the second bus 52.
[0048] In this embodiment, the power supply 40 is, for example, Figure 2 the DC power supply DC in.
[0049] In this embodiment, the leakage current detection circuit 20 is, for example, Figure 2 the DC insulation detection module JYJC in, and the DC insulation detection module JYJC can be used to detect the leakage current.
[0050] In other words, by cooperating the first switch KM2 with the leakage current detection circuit 20, the insulation of the bus 50 of the main power supply circuit is detected, and at the same time, the insulation of the power supply circuit where the load 31 is located can also be detected, effectively improving the detection efficiency of the leakage detection. And, the leakage current detection circuit 20 can detect whether there is a leakage current in the bus line. In the case where no leakage current is detected in the bus line, the leakage current detection circuit 20 can further detect whether there is a leakage current in the entire power supply line to determine whether there is a leakage current in the load 31, so as to realize the leakage current detection of different circuits, accurately and effectively locate the insulation defect points, and further improve the safety factor of the power supply system. And, by reusing the leakage current detection circuit 20, the manufacturing cost of the insulation detection circuit can be effectively reduced.
[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the insulation detection circuit further includes a second switch KM2, and the second switch KM2 is arranged on the second bus and located between the switch circuit 30 and the leakage current detection circuit 20. In other words, by additionally arranging the second switch KM2, when the first switch KM1 is closed and the second switch KM2 is open, it can be detected whether there is a leakage current on the first bus, and when the second switch KM2 is closed and the first switch KM1 is open, it can be detected whether there is a leakage current on the second bus, so as to further determine whether there is a leakage current in the positive bus or the negative bus, and improve the accuracy of the insulation defect points detected by the insulation detection circuit.
[0052] In some examples, the insulation detection circuit may further include a controller, and the controller can be a control chip, and the control chip can control the closing or opening of the first switch, the closing or opening of the second switch, and the conduction or disconnection of the load switch of the switch circuit, so that the first switch, the second switch, and the load switch are controlled by the same controller, which is easy to coordinate the control.
[0053] In some examples, the first switch KM1 and the second switch KM2 can be various switches, such as composite switches or push-button switches, etc., or can be contactors or relays, etc.
[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the first end of the first switch KM1 is connected to the first end of the leakage current detection circuit 20, and the second end of the first switch KM1 is connected to the first end of the switch circuit 30; the first end of the second switch KM2 is connected to the second end of the leakage current detection circuit 20, and the second end of the second switch KM2 is connected to the second end of the switch circuit.
[0055] When the first switch KM1 is closed, the second switch KM2 is open, and the switch circuit 30 is open, the leakage current detection circuit 20 detects the leakage current of the positive bus line between the positive pole of the power supply 40 and the first bus 51; when the second switch KM2 is closed, the first switch KM1 is open, and the switch circuit 30 is open, the leakage current detection circuit 20 detects the leakage current of the negative bus line between the negative pole of the power supply 40 and the second bus 52.
[0056] In other words, by setting the first switch and the second switch, the leakage current detection circuit 20 can detect the leakage current of the positive bus line or the negative bus line to further check for insulation faults in the power supply line.
[0057] In some embodiments, when the first switch KM1 is closed, the second switch KM2 is closed, and the switch circuit 30 is conducting, the leakage current detection circuit 20 detects the leakage current of the power supply line between the power supply 40 and the switch circuit 30.
[0058] In other words, when the first switch KM1 and the second switch KM2 are both closed, the switch circuit 30 conducts to enable the leakage current detection circuit 20 to detect whether there is a leakage current in the switch circuit 30.
[0059] In some examples, as Figure 3 shown, the leakage current detection circuit is a DC insulation detection module JYJC. When the first switch and the second switch are open, the inside of the leakage current detection circuit remains balanced. When the first switch is closed, the second switch is open, and the switch circuit is open, the voltages Um and Uj can be detected, and, when the resistance R is known, the resistance values of the resistors R+ and R- can be obtained. When the resistance R+ of the first bus is less than the set threshold, an alarm signal can be issued to indicate that the insulation performance of the first bus is poor and there is a leakage current. After the first switch is closed and the leakage current detection circuit does not detect an insulation fault in the first bus, the first switch can be opened, the second switch can be closed, and the switch circuit can be opened to continue monitoring whether there is an insulation fault in the second bus.
[0060] In some embodiments, the switching circuit includes a load switch for controlling the access of a load; the load switch is connected between a first bus and a second bus; wherein, the leakage current detection circuit detects the leakage current between the first end of the power supply and the first bus when the first switch is closed, the second switch is open, and the load switch of the switching circuit is open; and detects the leakage current of the second bus when the second switch is closed, the first switch is open, and the load switch of the switching circuit is open.
[0061] In some examples, the number of load switches can be one, two, or more, which is not limited herein. The load switch can be disposed between the first bus and the load, or between the second bus and the load, which is not limited herein. When the load switch is open, the switching circuit is open, enabling the leakage current detection circuit to detect whether there is a leakage current in the bus line. When there is no leakage current in the bus line, the load switch is closed and the switching circuit is conductive, enabling the leakage current detection circuit to detect whether there is a leakage current in the switching circuit. In other words, by setting the load switch, insulation defect points in the switching circuit or the bus line can be effectively detected. The load switch can be various types of switches, such as a composite switch or a push-button switch, etc., or can be a contactor or a relay, etc.
[0062] In some embodiments, the insulation detection circuit further includes a fuse, which is connected between the first bus and the load and is used to disconnect when the current flowing into the switching circuit is greater than or equal to a current threshold.
[0063] In this embodiment, the fuse can also be replaced with an intelligent switch or a circuit breaker, etc., and the fuse can be closed when the switching circuit is conductive. The current threshold of the fuse can be configured according to the requirements of different loads, which is not limited herein.
[0064] In some examples, as Figure 2 shown, each switching circuit 30 is configured with a control switch, and the control switch can be connected between the first bus 51 and the first pair of contacts of the switching circuit 30. Taking the control switch as the control switch QF1, the control switch QF1 can be connected between the first bus 51 and the first pair of contacts KA1 of the load switch. The control switch can also be connected between the second bus and the second pair of contacts KA2 of the load switch, which is not limited herein. In other words, by setting the control switch, short-circuit protection is provided for the load circuit, effectively improving the safety factor of the insulation detection circuit.
[0065] In some embodiments, the load switch is a contactor, and the contactor includes a first pair of contacts and a second pair of contacts. The first end of the first pair of contacts is connected to the first bus, and the second end of the first pair of contacts is used to be connected in series with one end of the load; the first end of the second pair of contacts is connected to the second bus, and the second end of the second pair of contacts is used to be connected in series with the other end of the load.
[0066] In some examples, such as Figure 2 shown, taking the first pair of contacts as the first pair of contacts KA1, the second pair of contacts as the second pair of contacts KB1, and the load as Z1 as an example, the first end of the first pair of contacts KA1 is connected to the control switch QF1, the second end of the first pair of contacts KA1 is connected to one end of the load Z1, the first end of the second pair of contacts KB1 is connected to the second bus 52, and the second end of the second pair of contacts KB1 is connected to the other end of the load Z1.
[0067] In other words, by setting the load switch as a contactor, it is possible to detect whether there is a leakage current in the positive pole of the switch circuit 30 or the load, further improving the troubleshooting efficiency of the insulation detection circuit for insulation failure points.
[0068] In some embodiments, the insulation detection circuit includes a plurality of switch circuits. When the first switch is turned on, the second switch is turned on, the load switch in the target switch circuit among the plurality of switch circuits is turned on, and the load switches in the other switch circuits are turned off, the leakage current detection circuit detects the leakage current of the target switch circuit. The other switch circuits are the switch circuits other than the target switch circuit among the plurality of switch circuits.
[0069] In some examples, such as Figure 2 shown, there are n switch circuits 30, where n is greater than 3 and n is a positive number. The first pair of contacts of the target switch circuit are, for example, the first pair of contacts KA1, the control switch of the target switch circuit is, for example, the control switch QF1, the load of the target switch circuit is, for example, the load Z1, and the second pair of contacts of the target switch circuit are, for example, the second pair of contacts KB1. That is to say, when detecting whether there is a leakage current in the bus line, the first contact KA1 - the first contact KAn and the second contact KB1 - the second contact KBn are disconnected, the first switch KM1 is closed, and the second switch KM2 is closed.
[0070] When no leakage current is detected in the bus line, to detect whether there is a leakage current in the target switch circuit, the first pair of contacts KA1 is closed, the first pair of contacts KA2 - the first pair of contacts KAn are disconnected, the second pair of contacts KB1 is closed, the second pair of contacts KB2 - the second pair of contacts KBn are disconnected, the first switch KM1 is closed, and the second switch KM2 is closed to detect whether there is a leakage current in the target switch circuit.
[0071] In other words, when there are multiple switch circuits, it is possible to control each switch circuit, the first switch to be turned off or on, and the second switch to be turned off or on to detect whether there is a leakage current in each switch circuit, further improving the troubleshooting of insulation failure points in the insulation detection circuit.
[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the insulation detection circuit further includes a display module 300. The controller 60 is, for example, a controller in a Train Control and Manage System (TCMS). The controller 60 is also communicatively connected to the display module 300 and the leakage current detection circuit 20. The display module 300 is, for example, a display screen in a vehicle. When the leakage current detection circuit 20 detects a leakage current in the bus line or the power supply line, it feeds back a corresponding alarm signal to the controller 60. The controller 60 can display the information that a leakage current is detected in the bus line or the power supply line to the driver through the display module 300.
