[0030] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the utility model and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to the clearly listed steps or units, but can include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0031] The utility model will be described in further detail in conjunction with the drawings as follows:
[0032] Referring to Figure 1 The utility model discloses a HXN5B type locomotive super capacitor charging and discharging detection device, including C+ connection terminal, C- connection terminal, I+ connection terminal, ammeter 5, voltmeter 6 and timer 7;
[0033] The I+ terminal is connected to the C+ terminal via the charging switch 13 and the shunt 4. When connected to the charging power supply, the I+ terminal serves as the input terminal for the charging current. The charging switch 13 and the shunt 4 are connected to the C- terminal via the discharge switch 9 and the discharge resistor 10. The shunt 4 is connected in parallel with the ammeter 5. The voltmeter 6 is connected to both the C+ and C- terminals. The timer 7 is connected to the voltmeter 6 via a timing selection switch 8. The ammeter 5 measures the current during charging or discharging. The voltmeter 6 measures the voltage across the supercapacitor. The timer 7 records the charging or discharging time. The charging switch 13 controls the on / off state of the charging circuit. The discharge switch 9 controls the on / off state of the discharging circuit. The discharge resistor 10 provides a discharge path for the supercapacitor during discharging, consuming electrical energy. The shunt 4 and the ammeter 5 are used together to measure the current during charging or discharging. The timing selection switch 8 selects the timer trigger mode (i.e., charging or discharging timing mode).
[0034] The C+ terminal is used to connect to the positive terminal of the supercapacitor 11, and the C- terminal is used to connect to the negative terminal of the supercapacitor 11.
[0035] This invention enables safe detection of current and voltage during the charging and discharging of supercapacitors, and allows for synchronous time data collection, making supercapacitor testing convenient. Furthermore, this invention allows testing to be performed after the locomotive electrical cabinet is powered off, reducing the time required for testing personnel to work inside the cabinet. It is also simple to operate, lowering the risk of electric shock and arc burns to operators.
[0036] The method of using this device during charging detection is as follows:
[0037] Set the timer selection switch 8 to the "charging timer" position;
[0038] Disconnect the discharge switch 9 to ensure the discharge circuit is disconnected; close the charging switch 13, and the charging current flows in through the I+ terminal, passes through the shunt 4 and the ammeter 5, and then flows to the C+ terminal to charge the supercapacitor 11. During this period, the voltmeter 6 measures the voltage across the supercapacitor 11.
[0039] During the charging process, the voltage across the supercapacitor gradually increases. When the voltage reaches the lower limit of the set value, the voltmeter triggers the timer to start timing. When the voltage continues to rise to the upper limit of the set value, the voltmeter sends a command to stop the timer. The value displayed on the timer panel is the time it takes for the supercapacitor to charge from the lower limit to the upper limit of the set voltage.
[0040] The method of using this device for discharge detection is as follows:
[0041] Set timer selection switch 8 to the "Discharge Timer" position;
[0042] Disconnect the charging switch 13, ensure that the charging circuit is disconnected;
[0043] Close the discharge switch 9, so that the super capacitor 11 is discharged through the discharge resistor 10;
[0044] The ammeter 5 measures the size of the discharge current, and the voltmeter 6 measures the voltage across the super capacitor 11;
[0045] During the discharging process, the voltage across the super capacitor gradually decreases, and when the voltage decreases to the upper limit of the set value, the voltmeter triggers the timer to start timing, and when the voltage continues to decrease to the lower limit of the set value, the voltmeter sends a command to stop the timer, and the value displayed on the timer panel is the time used by the super capacitor to discharge from the upper limit of the set voltage to the lower limit.
