The embodiments will be described below according to the overall structure of the utility model.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1-2 The utility model provides a kind of charging pile socket with non-contact temperature monitoring, including socket main body 1 and the matched use shell 2, infrared thermal imaging sensor 3, control module 4, relay 6;Infrared thermal imaging sensor 3, relay 6 are connected with control module 4 respectively;Relay 6 is connected with the 220V ac power supply of charging pile.Control module 4, relay 6 are set in the inside of matched use shell 2.
[0032] The outer surface of the socket body 1 is provided with a jack panel 11, and the upper edge of the shell 2 is provided with a baffle 21 which protrudes from the outer surface of the socket body 1 and can block rainwater from entering the jack 11. The infrared thermal imaging sensor 3 is arranged on the lower surface of the baffle 21 above the position of the jack 11, and is used to detect the surface temperature of the plug connected to the jack on the jack panel. The relay can control the on-off of the power supply of the charging pile under the control of the control module. The control module collects the surface temperature data of the plug detected by the infrared thermal imaging sensor, and controls the relay to cut off the power supply of the charging pile when the surface temperature of the plug is greater than or equal to the set plug surface temperature threshold. By collecting the temperature of the external plug 10 through the infrared thermal imaging sensor 3, the temperature change of the surface of the external plug 10 can be monitored in real time, so as to accurately identify whether the external plug 10 has a risk of overheating or fire, and effectively improve the safety of the charging pile.
[0033] It is worth noting that the jack panel 11 on the socket body 1 in the embodiment is provided as a five-hole socket structure, and the lower surface of the baffle 21 directly above the five-hole position is provided with an infrared thermal imaging sensor 3. The preferred model of the infrared thermal imaging sensor 3 is AMG8833 sensor, which is arranged directly above the five-hole position of the jack panel 11. The AMG8833 sensor communicates data with the control module 4 through an I2C interface. The visual angle of the AMG8833 sensor is set to 60°, and it is ensured that the upper surface of the external plug 10 falls completely within the visual range of the infrared thermal imaging sensor 3, thereby realizing the real-time monitoring function of the surface temperature of the external plug 10.
[0034] For example, as shown in Figure 3 The AMG8833 sensor is installed directly above the jack panel 11, forming an isosceles triangle with the upper edge and both sides of the jack panel 11. The vertical distance between the AMG8833 sensor and the external plug 10 is 53.35 mm, and the horizontal distance is 16.54 mm. When the external plug 10 is vertically inserted into the jack panel 10, it should be ensured that the AMG8833 sensor can accurately align with the plug surface. At this time, according to the Pythagorean theorem: θ = arctan(53.4 / 16.5) = 72.8°, the top angle of the triangle vertex position where the AMG8833 sensor is located is 180°-72.8°-72.8° = 34.4° < 60°, and the visual angle of the AMG8833 is 60°. At this time, the horizontal plane of the entire external plug 10 can be within the visual range of the AMG8833 sensor.
[0035] As shown in Figures 4-5 The socket body 1 of the embodiment includes a socket assembly 12 and a protection door 13, which is movably arranged between the socket assembly 12 and the jack panel 11, and can prevent foreign matter from directly entering the inside of the socket assembly 12 through the jack 11, thereby avoiding safety accidents such as electric shock and electric shock.
[0036] The embodiment also comprises a temperature sensor 5, which is electrically connected with the control module 4, and is arranged inside the socket assembly 12 to collect the internal temperature of the socket assembly 12. Specifically, the temperature sensor 5 is a thermistor, the sensing end of which is arranged inside the socket body 1, and the thermistor is electrically connected with the control module 4. In addition, the thermistor is preferably a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, the resistance value of which decreases with the increase of temperature, and has the characteristics of long service life, and can support long-time stable operation. An opening is designed on one side of the socket assembly 12, and the sensing head of the thermistor is completely inserted into the opening on one side of the socket assembly 10, so as to ensure that the thermistor is close to the inside of the socket assembly 10 and collects the internal temperature of the socket assembly 10.
[0037] When the temperature sensor 5 collects the temperature inside the socket assembly 12 greater than or equal to the preset internal temperature threshold of the socket assembly, the control module 4 controls the relay 6 to disconnect the power supply of the charging pile.
[0038] Further, the embodiment also comprises a Hall induction device 7, which is arranged on the path of horizontal movement of the protection door 13, and is electrically connected with the control module 4. When the protection door 13 moves horizontally, the Hall induction device 7 can generate a high-level or low-level signal.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the Hall induction device 7 comprises a Hall sensor 71 and a magnet 72. The Hall sensor 71 is installed on the path of horizontal movement of the protection door 13, and is electrically connected with the control module 4. The magnet 72 is installed on the protection door 13, and is used to approach or move away from the Hall sensor 71 when the protection door 13 moves horizontally.
[0040] Specifically, the Hall sensor 71 has a Schmitt trigger characteristic, which can eliminate the oscillation of the output signal and provide a stable switching state. When the protection door 13 is in a closed state, the horizontal distance between the magnet 72 and the Hall sensor 71 is the largest. When the external plug 10 is inserted into the inside of the jack panel 11, the protection door 13 drives the magnet 72 to gradually translate to the directly above of the Hall sensor 71. When the magnet 72 gradually approaches the Hall sensor 71, the Hall sensor 71 will detect the change of the magnetic field, and the output signal will switch from high level to low level. When the external plug 10 is pulled out, the protection door 13 drives the magnet 72 to gradually move away, and the output signal of the Hall sensor 71 switches from low level to high level.
[0041] When the control module 4 receives the low level of the Hall sensor 71, it indicates that the external plug 10 is inserted into the inside of the jack panel 11, and then the control module 4 controls the relay 6 to close, so that the power supply of the charging pile is connected, and the two-wheeled electric vehicle connected with the external plug 10 is charged. When the control module 4 receives the high level of the Hall sensor 71, it indicates that the external plug 10 is pulled out from the jack panel 11, and then the control module 4 controls the relay 6 to disconnect, so as to disconnect the power supply of the charging pile.
[0042] In addition, the utility model still includes sound light alarm 8 and wireless communication module 9, sound light alarm 8 and wireless communication module 9 are connected with control module 4 electricity respectively, sound light alarm 8 includes the loudspeaker 81 of setting at the bottom of shell 2, warning light 82 of setting at the front surface of shell 2, when the temperature value that infrared thermal imaging sensor 3 or temperature sensor 5 real-time acquisition is greater than or equal to corresponding threshold value, control module 4 controls loudspeaker 81 to send alarm sound, control warning light 82 to flash warning light, remind the user of charging or nearby personnel to deal with temperature abnormal problem in time.
[0043] Wireless communication module 9 is preferably 4G communication module, and control module 4 can send the temperature data collected by infrared thermal imaging sensor 3 or temperature sensor 5 to the upper computer connected externally through wireless communication module 9, to facilitate the temperature abnormality cause analysis of management personnel.
[0044] The embodiment also includes clock module 40, electric energy acquisition module 41, AC / DC module 42, clock module 40 is connected with control module 4, and is used to provide clock source for control module 4.Electric energy acquisition module 41 is connected with control module 4.AC / DC module 42 is connected with control module 4, and is used to convert the power supply of charging pile into suitable voltage to provide working power supply for control module 4.
[0045] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0046] The charging socket of the utility model is in the dormant state when not working, when Hall sensor 71 detects that there is external plug 10 insertion, control module 4 controls relay to close and exports the 220V alternating current power supply of charging pile to charge the load connected with external plug 10.
[0047] Infrared thermal imaging sensor 3 collects the surface temperature of external plug 10, and transmits the temperature data collected to control module 4.Meanwhile, temperature sensor 5 collects the temperature inside socket assembly 12, and transmits the temperature data collected to control module 4.
[0048] When the surface temperature of external plug 10 is greater than or equal to the set plug surface temperature threshold value or temperature sensor 5 collects the temperature inside socket assembly 12 and is greater than or equal to the preset socket assembly internal temperature threshold value, control module 4 controls sound light alarm to send sound light alarm signal.
[0049] When the surface temperature of the external plug 10 is greater than or equal to the set plug surface temperature threshold and reaches a preset time T1, or the temperature sensor 5 collects the temperature inside the socket assembly 12 greater than or equal to the preset socket assembly internal temperature threshold and reaches a preset time T2, the control module 4 controls the relay 6 to cut off the power supply of the charging pile, preventing the external plug 10 from catching fire or the socket overheating causing a fire. Wherein, T1 and T2 can be set, which can be the same or different, for example, T1 and T2 are both set to 2 minutes.
[0050] The electric energy collection module collects the power output by the charging pile and transmits it to the control module 4, which uploads the power output by the charging pile, the temperature of the surface of the external plug 10, and the temperature inside the socket assembly 12 to the cloud server in real time through the wireless transmission module.
[0051] The utility model discloses a low -power consumption design, when judging that there is external plug 10 insertion through hall sensor 71, control module 4 wakes up infrared thermal imaging sensor 3 and temperature sensor 4 work, and opens temperature detection, opens power output, when hall sensor 71 detects that external plug 10 pulls out, control module 4 controls relay 6 to disconnect power output, and infrared thermal imaging sensor 3 and temperature sensor 4 stop temperature detection and enter hibernate mode.
[0052] The prior art can only monitor the internal temperature of the charging pile, and cannot accurately identify temperature abnormalities of the external plug, resulting in failure to effectively prevent fires caused by plug overheating or short circuit. The utility model installs infrared thermal imaging sensors (such as AMG8833) outside the charging pile socket and NTC thermistors inside the charging pile, which can monitor the temperature changes on the surface of the plug in real time while detecting the internal temperature of the charging pile, accurately identify whether the plug is overheating or at risk of fire, and effectively improve the safety of the charging pile.
[0053] Traditional temperature monitoring may require direct contact with the plug or the use of contact temperature sensors. Due to installation problems in actual use, it is impossible to ensure that the sensor can accurately contact the plug surface, resulting in inaccurate measurement results and false judgments. Non-contact detection using AMG8833 infrared thermal imaging sensors avoids physical damage or contact interference to the plug, reduces maintenance costs of the equipment, and improves the reliability of the strategy.
[0054] It can be understood that the socket body 1 in the embodiment is provided with two socket panels 11, and the two five-hole socket structures corresponding to the two socket panels 11 can be controlled by the same control module 4 and share a set of audible and visual alarms 8 and wireless communication modules 9, but each five-hole socket structure needs to be provided with a set of infrared thermal imaging sensors 3, temperature sensors 5, relays 6 and hall effect devices 7 to realize individual detection of each five-hole socket.
[0055] The foregoing description of the specific exemplary embodiments of the present application is presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be a limitation on the present application, as described herein. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications, adaptations and variations can be made within the scope of the present application, which is set forth in the following claims.
