Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection devices, and in particular to a portable rectifier current sharing detection device. Background Art

[0002] Each rectifier in the electrolytic aluminum DC power supply system has at least six rectifier arms, consisting of rectifier elements, fast-acting fuses, and busbars. A rectifier connected in parallel with the same phase consists of 12 rectifier arms, forming six in-phase, anti-parallel rectifier arm assemblies. A rectifier is a power unit composed of six rectifier arms (or six in-phase, anti-parallel rectifier arm assemblies) and includes electrical and non-electrical connections, insulation, cooling pipes and radiators, rectifier tube elements, a compression mechanism, a fast-acting fuse assembly, an overvoltage absorber, water temperature and pressure detection and indicator instruments, and a fast-acting fuse damage detection and indication signal. Its function is to convert AC into DC, providing a powerful DC current to the electrolytic cell.

[0003] In order to ensure the safe and smooth operation of the rectifier, it is necessary to detect the current of the running rectifier elements.

[0004] The commonly used detection method currently is to install a current sensor on each component of the rectifier cabinet. Each rectifier cabinet is managed by a current-sharing test device, which enables real-time monitoring of the current of each component in the rectifier cabinet and visual management of the operating status. This allows rectifier substation operators to detect and address problems with components in the rectifier cabinet early and make adjustments based on the provided measurement data, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the rectifier cabinet operation and improving the rectifier cabinet's rectification efficiency. At the same time, the rectifier cabinet current-sharing monitoring device can also transmit and exchange the collected data signals with the host computer in real time via RS-485 communication, realizing centralized monitoring and control of the operating parameters of the rectifier cabinet's rectifier components, ensuring the safe and stable operation of rectifier units in the electrolytic aluminum industry.

[0005] However, since the existing online current sharing detection device is usually fixedly installed in the system as part of the system, when it fails, it is very easy to cause the rectifier to short-circuit and explode, seriously threatening the power supply safety of the electrolytic aluminum DC system. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a portable rectifier current sharing detection device to solve the problem in the background art that an online current sharing detection device is prone to failure and causes a rectifier short circuit explosion.

[0008] One end of the measuring instrument is connected to one end of a first measuring probe via a first measuring wire, and the other end of the first measuring probe is connected to one end of the device under test;

[0009] The other end of the measuring instrument is connected to one end of a second measuring probe through a second measuring wire, and the other end of the second measuring probe is connected to the other end of the device under test.

[0010] Furthermore, the measuring instrument is provided with a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first measuring wire is connected to the measuring instrument via the first terminal, and the second measuring wire is connected to the measuring instrument via the second terminal.

[0011] Furthermore, the handheld safety sheath is made of insulating material.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes an insulating tube, which includes a first insulating tube and a second insulating tube. The first measuring wire passes through the inside of the first insulating tube, and the second measuring wire passes through the inside of the second insulating tube.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a handheld safety sheath, which is arranged on the side of the insulating tube close to the measuring instrument.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a data processing unit, which is arranged inside the measuring instrument and is used to receive current data transmitted from the first measuring wire and the second measuring wire to evaluate the current balance.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a data storage device, which is arranged in the measuring instrument and is used to record historical detection data.

[0016] Furthermore, the measuring instrument is provided with a display screen for displaying the detected current value and current balance.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a power supply module, which is arranged in the measuring instrument and is used to supply power to the measuring instrument.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0019] A portable current-sharing detection device is used to regularly detect the current of each rectifier element of the running rectifier. It can accurately detect the current-sharing value of each component and compare it with the previous current-sharing detection data to ensure the normal operation of the rectifier. At the same time, the portable current-sharing detection device is separated from the entire system device and can perform temporary current detection at different locations. It does not need to be integrated with the control system and can be operated independently. This also avoids the risk of rectifier short-circuit explosion caused by the use of an online current-sharing detection device, thereby ensuring the power supply safety of the electrolytic aluminum DC system.

The terminals serve as the electrical signal input port of the measuring instrument 12 to transmit the current signals of the upper and lower ends of the measured element transmitted by the two measuring end probes.

[0033] Specifically, the first measuring wire 3 and the second measuring wire 4 are respectively covered with insulating tubes. In this embodiment, the insulating tubes are completely covered on the measuring wires. The insulating tubes are made of insulating material, which can further improve the detection safety and stability.

[0034] In this embodiment, the handheld safety sheath 9 is covered on the insulating tube slightly closer to the measuring instrument 12. The handheld safety sheath 9 is eight to fifteen centimeters long, which is convenient for the operator to hold and operate. The handheld safety sheath 9 is made of insulating material, specifically insulating rubber material, which can ensure that the operator will not get an electric shock accident due to contact with the wire during operation, further reducing the risk and ensuring the personal safety of the staff.
