Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric test of power systems, and in particular relates to a rapid detection platform for intermediate relays. Background Art

[0002] A relay is an electrical control device that causes a predetermined step change in the controlled variable in an electrical output circuit when a change in the input variable (excitation variable) meets a specified requirement. MKS3P intermediate relays are widely used in the control circuits of secondary equipment for safety control, circuit switching, automatic regulation, and power monitoring. Hydropower stations utilize a large number of switches, electric valves, oil pumps, and start-stop equipment, requiring numerous MKS3P intermediate relays in their operation and control circuits. These relays are used to implement functions such as opening and closing switches, opening and closing valves, starting and stopping oil pumps, and increasing and decreasing excitation and power. Regular inspections of these relays at hydropower stations typically require individual coil and contact testing. Typical relay inspections include: visual inspection, insulation inspection, coil DC resistance verification, operating and return voltage testing, and verification of the normal operation of the normally open and normally closed contacts.

[0003] Currently, relay protection testers are commonly used to test intermediate relays. This involves applying input (excitation) to a single relay coil through the relay base. By varying the input (excitation) value, the relay operates and returns according to specifications. A multimeter or wire alignment tool is used to check the switching between the normally open and normally closed contacts of the intermediate relay. While this combination of a relay protection tester and a multimeter (or wire alignment tool) can test intermediate relays, it is only suitable for testing individual relays. Furthermore, each intermediate relay is tested individually, item by item. However, due to the large number of intermediate relays installed in a hydropower station, this individual, item-by-item testing is time-consuming and requires constant connection or replacement of node circuits, resulting in a high workload and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0024] Preferably, the third controller is a DC air switch, wherein the specification of the third controller is 2P and the rated current is 3A.

[0025] Preferably, the power converter is an LRS-100-24 power module, which is used to convert 220V AC power into 24V DC power.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] The utility model discloses a rapid detection platform for an intermediate relay. The platform integrates a first circuit and a second circuit containing a signal detection circuit on a mounting platform. Through the cooperation of a first controller and a second controller, and the conversion of power by a power converter, the intermediate relay is quickly tested for various functions and performances, making the detection process of the intermediate relay faster and more efficient, reducing the workload of the detection personnel, and improving the detection efficiency of the intermediate relay. At the same time, the series connection between the base and the signal detection component in the signal detection circuit can accurately capture various state changes of the intermediate relay, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results. In addition, there are only three controllers in the platform. The detection personnel only need to control the three controllers to detect the intermediate relay, reducing the workload of the detection personnel, and the operation is convenient, which can greatly improve the detection efficiency of the intermediate relay.

[0028] Furthermore, by equipping each normally closed contact and normally open contact of the intermediate relay with a signal detection circuit, this detection platform can monitor the status of all contacts of the intermediate relay at the same time, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the test results. During the detection process, multiple signal detection circuits can simultaneously perform synchronous detection on multiple intermediate relays, significantly improving detection efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the detection platform is provided with six detection circuits, and thus the contacts of six intermediate relays can be detected synchronously through the detection platform, which greatly improves the detection efficiency and shortens the detection time.

[0030] Furthermore, the testing platform features a connection base with normally open (NO) contacts, normally closed (NC) contacts, and coil contacts. These connect the intermediate relay to the signal detection circuit, making plugging the intermediate relay simple and convenient. Testers only need to plug the intermediate relay into the connection base, eliminating the need for complex wiring operations and improving ease of use.

[0031] Furthermore, the detection platform displays the contact status of the intermediate relay and the coil by lighting up and off the first and second signal indicators. This allows the contact status of the intermediate relay to be quickly determined by directly observing the on and off status of the indicators. This eliminates the need for complex instruments or equipment, making detection more convenient and intuitive. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The third controller 7 has a specification of 2P and a rated current of 3A. The coil contact of the base 2 is connected to the coil contact of the intermediate relay and the third controller.

[0046] In this embodiment, six signal detection circuits are provided, and the six signal detection circuits are connected in parallel. Each signal detection circuit includes a MKS3P type relay base with three open and three closed contacts, a red signal indicator light 3 and a green signal indicator light 4. One end of the normally closed contact contact of the relay base is connected to one end of the green signal indicator light 4, the normally open contact contact of the MKS3P type relay base with three open and three closed contacts is connected to one end of the red signal indicator light 3, the other end of the red signal indicator light 3 and the other end of the green signal indicator light 4 are connected to the neutral wire end of the AC air switch JK1, the normally closed contact contact and the other end of the normally closed contact contact of the MKS3P type relay base with three open and three closed contacts are both connected to the live wire end of the AC air switch JK1, and the AC air switch JK1 is connected to the AC air switch JK. Among them, the MKS3P type relay bases for three open and three closed contacts in the six signal detection circuits are respectively MKS3P type relay base 1J for three open and three closed contacts, MKS3P type relay base 2J for three open and three closed contacts, MKS3P type relay base 3J for three open and three closed contacts, MKS3P type relay base 4J for three open and three closed contacts, MKS3P type relay base 5J for three open and three closed contacts, and MKS3P type relay base 6J for three open and three closed contacts; the red signal indicator light 3 and the green signal indicator light 4 in the six signal detection circuits are respectively red signal indicator light 1HD and green signal indicator light 1LD , red signal indicator light 2HD and green signal indicator light 2LD, red signal indicator light 3HD and green signal indicator light 3LD, red signal indicator light 4HD and green signal indicator light 4LD, red signal indicator light 5HD and green signal indicator light 5LD and red signal indicator light 6HD and green signal indicator light 6LD, then one end of the normally closed contact contact of the MKS3P type relay base 1J with three open and three closed contacts is connected to one end of the green signal indicator light 1LD, and the normally open contact contact of the MKS3P type relay base 1J with three open and three closed contacts is connected to one end of the red signal indicator light 1HD, and the other end of the red signal indicator light 1HD and the other end of the green signal indicator light 1LD are connected to the neutral line terminal of the AC air switch JK1, and the corresponding connections are made in sequence to obtain six parallel signal detection circuits.

[0047] Connect one end of the AC air switch JK1 on the AC air switch JK to one end of the LRS-100-24 power module, and the other end of the LRS-100-24 power module to the DC air switch ZK. The two ends of the air switch ZK are connected to the coil contacts of the MKS3P type relay base 1J with three-open and three-close contacts. When the centering relay is tested, close the AC air switch JK, and the LRS-100-24 power module starts working, converting 220V AC power into 24V DC power for the second circuit. Provide working voltage for the intermediate relay, and then close the AC air switch JK1. When the DC circuit breaker ZK is not closed, the coil circuit of the relay base 1-6J is not energized, and all the intermediate relays installed on the relay base 1-6J are in the unexcited state. At this time, the normally closed joint of the intermediate relay is closed and the normally open contact is disconnected. The circuit formed by the green signal indicator 1-6LD and the normally closed contact contact of the relay base 1-6J is connected to the power supply. At this time, the green signal indicator lights 1-6LD are all on, and the red signal indicator light 1-6HD forms a circuit with the normally open contact contact of the MKS3P type relay base 1-6J with three open and three closed contacts. There is no power input, and the red signal indicator lights 1-6HD are all off, which proves that the MKS3P type relay base 1-6J with three open and three closed contacts is on. The normally closed and normally open contacts of all connected intermediate relays are initially normal. If any of the green signal indicator lights 1-6LD is off or the red signal indicator light 1-6HD is on, this indicates an abnormality in the initial state of the normally closed contact of that intermediate relay. When the DC air switch ZK is closed, the intermediate relay connected to the MKS3P relay base 1-6J with three open and three close contacts is activated, with the normally open contact closed and the normally closed contact open. If the normally open contacts of the intermediate relay close normally, the corresponding red signal indicator light 1-6HD will light up and the green signal indicator light 1-6LD will go out. If any of the red signal indicator lights 1-6HD is off or the green signal indicator light 1-6LD is on, this indicates an abnormality in the intermediate relay connected to the corresponding MKS3P relay base with three open and three close contacts. This device can quickly detect whether the intermediate relays on the MKS3P relay base 1-6J with three open and three close contacts are normal, and can test six intermediate relays at a time, resulting in high detection efficiency.

[0048] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
