[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Attachment Figure 1-5 The vacuum circuit breaker stroke online monitoring device of the present invention comprises a non-contact magnetic grid sensor, a magnetic head bracket 4 and a magnetic ring fixing seat 3;

[0030] The magnetic ring fixing seat 3 is fixedly installed on the end of the circuit breaker rotating main shaft 5;

[0031] The magnetic head support 4 is fixedly mounted on the side plate 6 of the rotating spindle of the circuit breaker;

[0032] The non-contact magnetic grating sensor includes a magnetic grating 1 and a magnetic head 2; the magnetic grating 1 is annular and fixedly sleeved on a magnetic ring fixing seat 3; the magnetic head 2 is fixedly mounted on a magnetic head bracket 4 and is placed corresponding to the magnetic grating 1 at a distance of 2-5 mm.

[0033] The present invention is based on a non-contact magnetic grid sensor to monitor the rotating main shaft 5 of the vacuum circuit breaker, obtain the angular displacement stroke information during the opening and closing process of the vacuum circuit breaker, and then extract the mechanical characteristic related parameters of the vacuum circuit breaker with the rotation angle as the analysis object.

[0034] If the obtained angular displacement information is multiplied by the rotation radius and transmission ratio of the rotating main shaft 5, the linear travel information of the circuit breaker opening and closing process can be obtained, and then the mechanical characteristic related parameters of the vacuum circuit breaker with the movement distance as the analysis object can be extracted.

[0035] Specifically, the magnetic grid sensor is realized by utilizing the change in the magnetic field generated by the magnetic grid. When an object approaches the magnetic grid, the magnetic field distribution of the magnetic grid will be changed, thereby changing the strength and direction of the magnetic field. The rotation angle and rotation direction of the rotating main shaft 5 during the opening and closing process are detected by the magnetic field detector in the magnetic grid sensor through the magnetic grid and converted into corresponding electrical signals. By processing and analyzing these electrical signals, the physical quantity to be measured is obtained.

[0036] Furthermore, the magnetic grid 1 is a ring-shaped magnetic grid with an inner diameter of 43 mm, an outer diameter of 50.8 mm, and a thickness of 10 mm.

[0037] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, a mounting hole 31 corresponding to the shape of the circuit breaker rotating main shaft 5 is provided in the middle of the magnetic ring fixing base 3; the magnetic ring fixing base 3 is stepped, including a large end 32 and a small end 33; the large end 32 has an outer diameter of 43 mm, which is consistent with the inner diameter of the circular magnetic grid 1, and a thickness of 10 mm; the small end 33 has two threaded holes 34 opposite to each other and placed perpendicular to the mounting hole 31; screws are threadedly installed in the threaded holes 34, which are pressed against the tangent plane of the circuit breaker rotating main shaft 5 to fix the magnetic ring fixing base 3.

[0038] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, the annular magnetic grid 1 is bonded to the outer surface of the large end 32 of the magnetic ring fixing seat 3 using epoxy resin glue.

[0039] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic head 2 is a conversion device for magneto-electric conversion, which converts the magnetization signal recorded on the magnetic grid 1 into an electrical signal and transmits it to the detection circuit to realize the measurement of data such as rotation angle, speed, and displacement. The magnetic head 2 has a built-in LED indicator 21, which can identify the working power supply and the magnetic grid 1 signal. The green light is normal and the red light is abnormal. At the same time, the magnetic head 2 and the magnetic grid 1 are read through non-contact installation, and it has two mounting countersunk waist round holes 22 with an installation distance of 2-5mm. The magnetic head 2 senses the change of the magnetic field during the rotation of the annular magnetic grid 1 along the axis of the rotating spindle 5 and converts this magnetic field change into an analog signal or a digital signal output.

[0040] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, the head bracket 4 includes a U-shaped bracket body 41 and mounting portions 42 respectively arranged at both ends of the bracket body 41; the bracket body 41 is provided with connecting holes 43 corresponding to two countersunk waist holes 22, and the distance between the magnetic head 2 and the magnetic grid 1 can be adjusted according to the countersunk waist holes 22 of the magnetic head 2; the mounting portion 42 is provided with a long hole 44; the magnetic grid 1 and the magnetic head 2 are spaced apart along the length direction of the long hole 44, and the distance between the magnetic head 2 and the magnetic grid 1 can be further adjusted.

[0041] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, the bracket body 41 and the mounting portion 42 are not in the same plane and are connected by a connecting portion 45; the side surfaces of the bracket body 41, the connecting portion 45 and the mounting portion 42 are Z-shaped.

[0042] Furthermore, the magnetic ring fixing seat 3 and the magnetic head support 4 are both made of metal materials, preferably aluminum alloy.

[0043] The installation steps are as follows:

[0044] 1. Use epoxy resin glue to glue the annular magnetic grid 1 to the outer surface of the large end 32 of the magnetic ring fixing base 3. After the glue is completely cured, assemble the magnetic ring fixing base 3 with the bonded magnetic grid 1 to the predetermined position of the circuit breaker rotating main shaft 5 and fix it with two M4 screws respectively;

[0045] 2. Assemble the magnetic head 2 on the magnetic head bracket 4 by threading it with two M3*12 cylindrical hexagon socket screws 7 and the connection hole 43, and make the triangular arrow on the surface of the magnetic head 2 point to the direction of the magnetic ring axis;

[0046] 3. Fasten the magnetic head bracket 4 with the magnetic head 2 installed on the side plate 6 of the circuit breaker rotating spindle with the M6*12 hexagon socket head screw 8 through the long hole 44, then use a feeler gauge to adjust the locking screws between the magnetic head 2 and the magnetic ring so that the magnetic moment is maintained at 2-5mm, preferably 2mm, and finally tighten the screws to complete the installation.

[0047] The above are only specific application examples of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
