DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, a brief introduction will be given below to the drawings required for use in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.
[0016] See Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a circuit connection diagram of the voice control module of the present utility model; Figure 2 Schematic diagram of circuit connection of the CT polarity test module of the present invention. The CT polarity test device comprises: a CT polarity test module and a voice control module.
[0017] The CT polarity test module includes a DC power supply, a rotary switch, a manual control relay, a manual test button, a voice control relay, a current transformer, and a microammeter. The DC power supply can be a 12V lithium battery pack.
[0018] The positive primary terminal of the current transformer is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and the negative primary terminal of the current transformer is electrically connected to the positive input terminal of the rotary switch. Specifically, the current transformer TA can be connected to the DC power supply DC, the microammeter μA, and the rotary switch SA via preset banana plug terminals P1, P2, S1, and S2. For example, the positive terminal of the microammeter μA is electrically connected to the positive secondary terminal S1 of the current transformer, and the negative terminal of the microammeter is electrically connected to the negative secondary terminal S2 of the current transformer.
[0019] The rotary switch SA can include a knob-type switching handle, a knob-type switch, a dial switch, and an encoder switch. In this embodiment, the rotary switch SA has at least two switching positions. The output of the first switching position is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply via a manually controlled intermediate relay ZJ1 and a manual test button AN. The output of the second switching position is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply via voice-controlled intermediate relays ZJ3 and ZJ4. The rotary switch enables rapid switching between multiple control modes, simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency. The manual test button provides direct control in emergency situations, increasing device reliability and availability.
[0020] Furthermore, the voice-controlled intermediate relay includes a primary relay ZJ3 and a secondary relay ZJ4. When the circuit is closed, the normally open terminal of primary relay ZJ3 is electrically connected to the normally closed terminal of secondary relay ZJ4. By configuring primary relay ZJ3 and secondary relay ZJ4, during polarity testing, a known current pulse is generated on the primary side by briefly turning on the power supply. This avoids potential safety issues that could arise from prolonged current application, such as overheating or damage to the CT. During testing, the secondary relay prevents the secondary side from opening, which could pose a risk to personnel and equipment.
[0021] The voice control module includes a microphone unit MK and a voice recognition unit; the microphone unit is used to convert voice signals into voice electrical signals; the voice recognition unit is respectively connected to the microphone unit, the manual control intermediate relay and the voice control intermediate relay signals, and is used to convert voice electrical signals into voice control signals and control the manual control intermediate relay and the voice control intermediate relay.
[0022] Furthermore, the voice control module also includes a speaker BL; the speaker is connected to the voice recognition unit signal, and is used to receive the voice control signal and issue a voice reminder based on the voice control signal. The feedback mechanism of the speaker enhances the human-computer interaction experience and improves the intuitiveness and accuracy of operation.
[0023] Furthermore, the microphone unit is connected to the voice recognition unit signal in a wireless manner. The microphone unit can also be a dual microphone MK1, MK2 with a noise reduction function.
[0024] Furthermore, voice recognition units include microcontrollers, integrated circuits, and chips. Many off-the-shelf chips or integrated circuits can be used for voice recognition control. These chips typically have some voice recognition capabilities, capable of recognizing preset command words or phrases. Alternatively, microcontrollers can support simple voice recognition functionality through software libraries or development boards.
[0025] For example, the voice recognition unit is a single-chip microcomputer, and the voice control of the relay opening and closing through the single-chip microcomputer may include: selecting a single-chip microcomputer that supports the voice recognition function, such as Arduino Uno / Nano.
[0026] The microphone is electrically connected to an analog input pin of the microcontroller for receiving sound. The relay module is electrically connected to a digital output pin of the microcontroller. The speaker is electrically connected to a PWM output pin of the microcontroller for playing a prompt tone.
[0027] Configure the MCU's GPIO pins for input or output mode, set up the MCU's ADC (analog-to-digital converter) to read the microphone input, and set up PWM output for the speaker.
[0028] The system continuously monitors microphone input and triggers the voice recognition process when a valid voice signal is detected. For example, if a voice control command "Polarity test" is issued, the speaker will respond with a voice message saying, "Please take safety precautions, confirm wiring is correct, switch the rotary switch to voice control mode, and turn on the test power to begin the test." The system can then control the opening and closing of the relay based on the recognition result, and a confirmation message will be played through the speaker.
[0029] Furthermore, the device also includes a wireless control module; the wireless control module includes a wireless transmitting unit WF, a wireless receiving unit WS, and a remote control output relay ZJ5. The wireless transmitting unit WF is used to wirelessly transmit electromagnetic signals to the wireless receiving unit; the wireless receiving unit WS is connected to the remote control output relay and controls the remote control output relay based on the electromagnetic signals received from the wireless transmitting unit. The output terminal of the third switching position of the rotary switch is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply through the remote control output relay. The remote control function allows the tester to be operated away from the test site, making it suitable for long-distance, noisy, or inaccessible environments. The appropriate detection method can be selected according to the situation, which can improve detection efficiency.
[0030] Furthermore, the system further includes a second power supply electrically connected to the voice control module and the wireless receiving unit for supplying power. The second power supply may be a 5V DC power supply that can be connected in parallel to the voice control module and the wireless receiving unit, effectively simplifying circuitry and wiring connections.
[0031] The utility model has been applied and fully verified in practice in current transformer polarity tests in multiple substations. The tester uses three modes of voice control, wireless control, and manual button control to completely replace manual touch control equipment and simple wireless control equipment. The CT polarity test can be completed by one person operating and one person monitoring, which effectively improves work efficiency, solves the polarity test problem when the current transformer and the terminal box are not in the same location, and replaces the original test equipment.

Continue to issue the voice command "Manual mode". After receiving the voice command, the voice control module controls the manual control intermediate relay ZJ1 to close. The speaker BL responds with a voice message "Switch the handle to manual mode and start the test". At this time, switch the knob-type switching handle SA to manual control mode and turn on the manual test button AN. At this time, observe the deflection direction of the pointer microammeter μA. Clockwise deflection indicates positive polarity, and counterclockwise deflection indicates reverse polarity. After the test, issue the voice control command "Test end".
