[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a tubular busbar monitoring device, comprising a tubular busbar 100 and a monitor 200. The monitor 200 is movably mounted at the top of the tubular busbar 100 and is movable within a certain range along the length of the busbar. This installation method not only improves flexibility and allows the position of the monitor 200 to be adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of all parts of the busbar, but also simplifies the installation and maintenance process, avoids complex busbar modifications and power outages, and reduces operation and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the movable mounting structure enables the monitor 200 to be repositioned according to real-time conditions, thereby improving monitoring accuracy and data reliability.

[0028] Specifically, the tubular bus 100 includes a bus housing 101, a cable 102 is movably installed inside the bus housing 101 for transmitting current or signals, and the monitor 200 includes a mounting shell 201 movably installed on the top of the bus housing 101, a power supply module 202 is movably installed on the top of the mounting shell 201, and the power supply module 202 is responsible for providing stable power support for the entire monitoring system. A communication module 203 is provided directly below the power supply module 202, and the communication module 203 is connected to the external monitoring system in a wireless manner, and is responsible for transmitting the bus operation status data collected by the sensor module 204 to the remote monitoring platform. A sensor module 204 is provided directly below the communication module 203, and the sensor module 204 is used to The operating status of the tubular busbar 100, such as key parameters such as temperature, current or voltage, is monitored in real time, and the collected data is transmitted to the communication module 203 for processing. A terminal 205 is welded to the bottom end of the sensor module 204, and the terminal 205 is used to connect to the external circuit to ensure stable signal transmission. A fixing component 206 is provided on the outside of the installation shell 201. The fixing component 206 is adsorbed and connected to the outer wall of the busbar shell 101 through a flexible belt and a magnetic sticker to ensure that the monitor 200 is stably fixed on the top of the busbar; through the close cooperation and linkage of these components, the entire monitoring system can achieve efficient and accurate real-time monitoring, and has flexible installation and maintenance methods, thereby improving the operating reliability and monitoring effect of the tubular busbar.

[0029] Furthermore, a notch 101a is provided at the top of the busbar housing 101. This notch 101a provides a passage for the terminal block 205, allowing it to pass smoothly between the exterior and interior of the busbar housing 101. The bottom end of the terminal block 205 extends through the notch 101a and into the interior of the busbar housing 101, abutting against the outer surface of the cable 102. This ensures that the signal collected by the sensor module 204 is directly connected to the cable 102 through the terminal block 205, forming a stable circuit path. This structural design allows the terminal block 205 to effectively transmit the electrical parameters or signals detected by the sensor module 204 to the cable 102 within the busbar, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of the operating status of the tubular busbar. The interconnected relationship between the busbar housing 101, the terminal block 205, the notch 101a, and the cable 102 enables the entire monitoring device to efficiently and stably transmit monitoring data to the internal circuit and further to the external monitoring system, ensuring data accuracy and stability and facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0030] Furthermore, the power supply module 202 is electrically connected to the communication module 203 and the sensor module 204 through a wire, providing necessary power support to ensure that the communication module 203 and the sensor module 204 can work normally. The function of the power supply module 202 is to provide a stable power supply for the entire monitoring device to ensure the long-term reliable operation of the monitoring equipment. The communication module 203 is connected to the external monitoring system through wireless communication and is responsible for transmitting the busbar operation status data collected by the sensor module 204 to the external monitoring system so as to facilitate real-time monitoring and analysis of the working status of the busbar. Specifically, the power supply module 202 is electrically connected to the communication module 203 and the sensor module 204 through a wire. The blocks 204 are connected to each other to ensure that they can obtain a stable power supply; the communication module 203 and the sensor module 204 are connected wirelessly, the sensor module 204 converts the collected signals into wireless signals and sends them to the communication module 203, and the communication module 203 then transmits the data to the external monitoring system through wireless communication; this design that combines wireless and wire connections not only ensures a stable supply of power, but also avoids the complexity of traditional wired connections, improves the flexibility, scalability and stability of the system, and enables the monitoring device to achieve remote, real-time monitoring and data transmission, thereby more effectively performing status monitoring and maintenance management on the tubular busbar.

[0031] It should be noted that a signal enhancer is integrated into the communication module 203 to improve the stability and effective coverage of wireless signal transmission to ensure that monitoring data can be transmitted to the external monitoring system in real time. The function of the signal enhancer is to enhance the reception and transmission capabilities of wireless signals and reduce the signal attenuation problem caused by distance or obstacles, thereby ensuring seamless and stable data transmission between the communication module 203 and the external monitoring system. In addition, the outer surface of the sensor module 204 is provided with an insulating layer, which is made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials and can effectively protect the sensor module 204 from the influence of high-temperature environments and corrosive substances. The main function of the sensor module 204 is to collect the operating status data of the busbar, such as temperature, current and other signals. The design of the insulating layer ensures that the sensor module 204 can operate stably in harsh environments and improves its reliability in long-term use. The insulating layer can also prevent external electrical interference from affecting the accuracy of the sensor module 204, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the collected data. Through the comprehensive application of signal amplifiers and high-temperature and anti-corrosion materials, the entire monitoring system not only has higher stability and adaptability, but also can provide continuous and accurate monitoring data in complex environments, ensuring timely and accurate feedback on the operating status of the busbar.

[0032] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 206 includes a flexible belt 206a fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the mounting shell 201, and the inner side walls of the two flexible belts 206a are fixedly mounted with magnetic stickers 206b, and the two flexible belts 206a are adsorbed and connected to the outer wall of the busbar housing 101 through the two magnetic stickers 206b. The flexible belt 206a is made of a highly elastic material, and its main function is to provide sufficient flexibility and stretchability to ensure that the monitor 200 can be firmly installed on the top of the busbar 100 and can adapt to slight deformations or irregularities on the surface of the busbar housing 101. The highly elastic material of the flexible belt ensures elastic adaptability during the installation process, enabling it to fit tightly with the busbar housing and firmly fix the monitor. The magnetic sticker 206b is made of a high-strength permanent magnetic material and is covered with an anti-corrosion coating. The function of the magnetic sticker is to be adsorbed and connected to the outer wall of the busbar housing 101 through magnetic force, thereby simplifying the installation process and avoiding the tediousness of traditional drilling or other mechanical fixing methods. The high-strength permanent magnetic material ensures the stability and robustness of the mounting assembly during long-term use, while the anti-corrosion coating enhances the corrosion resistance of the magnetic patch, ensuring it is less susceptible to corrosion and aging in the complex environment of power systems. This structure ensures that mounting assembly 206 provides a secure and efficient installation solution without damaging the busbar housing, while ensuring the long-term stable operation of monitor 200 and reducing its dependence on the external environment.

[0033] The operating principle of this device is as follows: the sensor module 204 collects real-time operating status data of the tubular busbar 100, converts it into electrical signals, and transmits it to the communication module 203. After receiving the data, the communication module 203 transmits the collected busbar operating status data to an external monitoring system via wireless signals, ensuring real-time monitoring. The power supply module 202 provides power to the sensor and communication modules via wires, ensuring stable operation of the device. The fixing assembly 206 securely mounts the monitor 200 on the top of the busbar housing 101 using a flexible band 206a and a magnetic patch 206b, facilitating installation and maintenance while avoiding complex mechanical fixation. The insulating layer on the outer surface of the sensor module protects it from high temperatures and external interference, ensuring accurate detection. In addition, the communication module's built-in signal booster improves the stability and coverage of the wireless signal. This device design enables efficient busbar monitoring, remote data transmission, and simple installation and maintenance, ensuring the long-term safe operation of the tubular busbar.
