[0028] The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical scheme of the patent, and not to limit the disclosed technical scheme. In addition, it should be noted that, in order to facilitate description, only part of the structure related to the technical scheme of the application is shown in the drawings.
[0029] Before discussing the example embodiments in more detail, it should be mentioned that the structure of the device components and / or modules mentioned in the embodiments, if not specified in detail, is understood by the person skilled in the art on the basis of the prior art or is a commercially available product.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment provides a charging pile personnel protection test device, which comprises a variable frequency power supply 1, an adjustable load 2, a detection module 3, a switch module 4 and an oscilloscope 5. The variable frequency power supply 1 is used for providing an adjustable power supply for a charging pile sample. The adjustable load 2 is used for simulating a real charging process. The detection module 3 is connected between the output end of the charging pile sample and the input end of the adjustable load 2 during testing. The detection module 3 comprises a ground detection module 301, a high-impedance ground fault detection module 302 and a low-impedance ground fault detection module 303. The switch module 4 is used for circuit switching. During ground detection, the switch module 4 connects the ground detection module 301 and the oscilloscope 5, and is used for detecting unacceptable impedance in the ground circuit. During high-impedance ground fault detection, the switch module 4 connects the high-impedance ground fault detection module 302 and the oscilloscope 5, and is used for testing a protection time and obtaining a ground fault current action value. During low-impedance ground fault detection, the switch module 4 connects the low-impedance ground fault detection module 303 and the oscilloscope 5, and is used for disconnecting the adjustable load 2 and simulating a low-resistance ground fault.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 The ground detection module 301 comprises a circuit with a first adjustable impedance. The circuit is connected with an adjustable resistor in series in the ground loop of the variable frequency power supply 1 and the adjustable load 2, so that the ground impedance can be continuously changed and the charging power supply circuit is interrupted, and the purpose of ground fault (unacceptable impedance) is achieved. Under normal working conditions, the ground resistance is gradually increased from small to large until the charging pile is disconnected for protection. The output current can be observed by the oscilloscope to decrease from a normal value to zero, and the protection function is achieved. The protection time is different for different products, and no timing requirement is made. The charging pile is powered on, and no current output should be generated from the charging pile, which can be determined by observing the current with the oscilloscope.
[0032] During ground detection, the charging pile sample to be tested is placed in an environmental box, and tests are respectively performed at temperatures of 25℃, 40℃, -5℃ and -25℃.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 The high-impedance ground fault detection module 302 comprises a circuit with a second adjustable impedance. The circuit is connected with an adjustable resistor in series in the ground loop of the adjustable load 2, so that a fault is introduced into the ground line to cause a ground fault. The connected oscilloscope 5 is used for capturing the fault introduction signal and the protection cutoff signal, so as to obtain the protection time and record the action resistance value, and obtain the ground fault current action value.
[0034] Switch module 4 connects high impedance ground fault detection module 302 and oscilloscope 5 circuit state, through the variable frequency power supply 1 set line test voltage is 85%, 100% and 110% of the rated value, respectively, with adjustable resistance at 500 ohms fault test ten times.
[0035] The fault introduction signal captured by the oscilloscope 5 is the voltage and current value at the time of the fault; the protection cut-off signal refers to the protection time. When a ground fault occurs, the leakage protection of the charging pile is turned on, the voltage will be reduced from the phase voltage before the switch is closed to zero, and the charging pile working current will be reduced to zero. The time between the two zeros is the protection time.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 The low impedance ground fault detection module 303 contains a third adjustable impedance circuit, which is connected to the input side and output side of the charging pile sample respectively, and the equivalent resistance R1 and R2 are connected, and a 1-A fuse is connected to the accessible conductive part of the charging pile shell, which is used to introduce the current close to overload into the charging circuit to simulate the ground fault.
[0037] R1 and R2 are connected in the line and load circuit, for example, resistance R1 plus R2 is adjusted to equal to 1.5 times the current value of the rated value of the device, to simulate the situation that the interruption is located near the fault but far away from the power supply.
[0038] In order to make the test personnel operate more safely and conveniently, a communication module 6 and an HMI interactive terminal can be added to the test device. The communication module 6 is used to collect the signals of the detection module 3, the switch module 4 and the oscilloscope 5 and issue control instructions; the HMI interactive terminal is used to display three kinds of detection information and control code generation, and receive interactive instructions to the communication module 6.
