Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a safety alarm device used in conjunction with a transformer. Background Technology

[0002] A transformer is a device that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to change alternating current voltage. Its main components include a primary coil, a secondary coil, and an iron core (or magnetic core). Through these components, the transformer can perform functions such as voltage transformation and current transformation. When a transformer is installed outdoors, there is a chance that birds and other insects will approach it. To prevent birds from resting on the transformer and causing electric shocks or short circuits, some transformers have alarms based on pyroelectric sensors installed on their sides to scare away approaching birds with an alarm sound.

[0003] While existing safety alarm devices for transformers have achieved some degree of bird deterrence, their structural limitations also present several technical drawbacks. Specifically, the pyroelectric sensors in these alarm devices have fixed probes, meaning they can only detect birds approaching from one side. This relatively small detection range hinders effective detection (for example, birds entering from the left, right, or rear sides of the sensor probe cannot be detected), leaving potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is essential to provide a transformer safety alarm device capable of omnidirectional bird detection. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing safety alarm devices used in transformer installations, which are limited by their structure and have the drawbacks described in the background art, this utility model provides a safety alarm device for transformers that, under the combined action of relevant mechanisms, can drive a pyroelectric sensor to rotate 360 ​​degrees through wind power (this mode can save energy when there is wind on site) or a motor reduction mechanism to detect the approach of birds, etc. The device can also trigger an alarm sound to drive away birds as soon as they are detected, thereby achieving a larger detection range and minimizing the probability of power supply failures caused by birds.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] Furthermore, the inner sides of the two contact pieces and the outer ends of the two slip rings are in sliding electrical contact, and the contact pieces and slip rings are made of copper.

[0008] Furthermore, the detection circuit includes a bridge rectifier, a diode, a capacitor, a transistor, a relay, a wireless transmission circuit module, and a battery that are electrically connected. The positive power output terminal of the bridge rectifier is connected to the positive terminal of the capacitor, the positive terminal of the diode, and one end of the resistor.

The negative terminal of the capacitor is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, the emitter of the transistor, and the negative power input terminal of the wireless transmission circuit module. The positive power input terminal of the wireless transmission circuit module is connected to the normally open contact terminal of the relay.

[0009] Furthermore, the two contacts under one of the transmit buttons of the wireless transmission circuit module are connected together.

[0010] Furthermore, the receiving circuit includes a wireless receiving circuit module and a relay that are electrically connected.

In summary, this invention has good application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the power output terminal of generator M and the signal input terminal of the detection circuit, pins 1 and 2 of bridge rectifier A1, are connected by wires. The negative terminal of diode VD and the emitter of transistor Q1 at the power output terminal of the detection circuit are connected by wires to the power input terminals 1 and 2 of pyroelectric sensor A3.

The power input terminals 1 and 2 of power module A4 are connected to the two poles of AC 220V power supply by wires. The power output terminals 3 and 4 of power module A4 are connected to the power input terminals 1 and 2 of wireless receiver circuit module A5, the control power input terminal of relay J3, and the emitter of transistor Q2 by wires. The normally closed contact terminal of relay J2 and the negative power input terminal of relay J2 at the power output terminal of receiver circuit are connected to the power input terminal of motor reduction mechanism M1 by wires. The two contact pieces T on the right side, the other end of the signal input resistor R2 of the alarm circuit, and the emitter of the transistor Q2 are connected by wires. Figure 3 In the diagram, power module W1 is a finished AC 220V to DC 6V power module; transistors Q1 and Q2 are 9013 (NPN); diode VD is 1N4007; relays J1, J2, and J3 are DC 6V; resistors R1, R2, and R3 have resistances of 47K, 10K, and 7K respectively; battery G1 is a 6V / 10Ah lithium battery; bridge rectifier A1 is KBP301; wireless transmitter module A2 and wireless receiver module A5 are TX315B1 wireless transmitter and receiver modules. The components are finished products; capacitor C1 is a 470μF / 25V electrolytic capacitor; the buzzer BX is an MF6V active continuous audible alarm; the pyroelectric sensor A3 is an HC-SR501 pyroelectric detection sensor with two power input terminals and one signal output terminal. When its probe detects an active organism, the signal output terminal will output a high level, and vice versa; the motor reduction mechanism M1 is a 10W coaxial motor gear reducer; the generator M is a 9V small wind turbine.

[0020] Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, after the 220V AC power enters the power input terminal of the power module A4, the power module A4 outputs a stable 6V DC power from pins 3 and 4, which enters the power input terminals of the receiving circuit and the alarm circuit. When there is wind at the site, the wind will blow the impeller 1, causing the shaft 101 to rotate. Then, the shaft 101 drives the shaft of the generator M to rotate, and the generator M generates electrical energy which enters the power input terminal of the bridge rectifier A1. The approximately 9V DC power output from pins 3 and 4 of the bridge rectifier A1 is filtered by capacitor C1 and enters the other end of resistor R1. It then passes through diode VD and is unidirectionally conducted into battery G1 to charge battery G1 (so that the detection circuit can be powered and other circuits can operate normally, and battery G1 is pre-charged with power; due to the voltage drop of diode VD, the power voltage entering battery G1 is about 8.2V, so it can effectively ensure the charging needs of battery G1). In reality, when there is no wind and the impeller blade 1 does not drive the pyroelectric detection module A3 to rotate, the base of transistor Q1 has no power input, and the relay J1 is de-energized, with its control power input terminal and normally open contact terminal open. Therefore, the wireless transmission circuit module A2 will not transmit wireless signals, and the motor reduction mechanism M1 will be energized (6V power will enter the power input terminal of the motor reduction mechanism M1 through the control power input terminal and normally closed contact terminal of relay J2). The power output shaft of the motor reduction mechanism M1 drives the pyroelectric detection module A3 to rotate continuously in a 360-degree manner. When there is wind and the impeller blade 1 drives the pyroelectric detection module A3 to rotate, the power output from pin 3 of the bridge rectifier A1 is stepped down and current-limited by resistor R1 and enters the base of transistor Q1 (above 0.7V). Transistor Q1 conducts, and the collector outputs a low level, which enters the negative power input terminal of relay J1. Relay J1 is energized and closes, controlling the power input terminal and the normally open contact terminal to close. Consequently, the wireless transmission circuit module A2 will transmit the first wireless closing signal (the two contacts under the first button of the wireless transmission circuit module A2 are connected together). Due to the unidirectional conduction of diode VD, the power output from battery G1 will not enter the other end of resistor R1.

[0021] Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, when there is wind, the wireless transmitting circuit module A2 transmits the first wireless signal. After the wireless receiving circuit module A5 receives the signal, pin 3 of the wireless receiving circuit module A5 outputs a high level, which enters the positive power input terminal of the relay J2. The relay J2 is energized and its control power input terminal and normally closed contact terminal are opened. In this way, the motor reduction mechanism M1 will not be energized and will not work. Through the above, when there is wind, the pyroelectric sensor can be driven to rotate 360 ​​degrees by the wind (this mode saves energy) through the impeller to detect whether birds are approaching. When there is no wind, the pyroelectric sensor is driven to rotate 360 ​​degrees by the motor reduction mechanism M1 to detect whether birds are approaching. While saving energy, it also ensures that the pyroelectric sensor can always rotate 360 ​​degrees and be in detection mode. When the pyroelectric sensor is working and no birds are approaching, pin 3 of the pyroelectric sensor A3 does not output a high level (the voltage signal output from pin 3 of the pyroelectric detection module A3, along with the negative power input, passes through two rotating slip rings X and two stationary contact pieces T to the other end of resistor R2 and the emitter of transistor Q2). Thus, the buzzer BX will not be energized and will not emit a sound. Within a range of approximately 10 meters, when a bird approaches, pin 3 of the pyroelectric sensor A3 outputs a high level. This high level is divided by resistors R2 and R3 and enters the base of transistor Q2. Transistor Q2 then conducts, and its collector outputs a low level, which enters the positive power input of the buzzer BX. The buzzer BX is then energized and emits a loud sound to scare away the approaching bird, effectively preventing the possibility of bird-related power supply failures to the transformer.
