Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical cabinet internal humidity control, specifically is a kind of electrical cabinet humidity real-time control device. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-voltage electrical cabinet is composed of shell, electrical components (including insulating devices), various mechanisms, secondary terminals and connecting wires, etc. The working performance of electrical components and various terminals is greatly affected by temperature and humidity. For example, when the humidity in the electrical cabinet is too high, it will lead to a decrease in insulation performance, and easily cause problems such as damage to insulating devices, discharge and tripping. Therefore, in order to improve the service life and safety of the electrical cabinet, it is of great significance to design an electrical cabinet humidity real-time control device, which has attracted great attention in recent years.

[0003] Many researchers limit the humidity control of electrical cabinets to traditional methods, which have poor control effect. For example, the electrical cabinet dehumidification device mentioned in the article "Research on Dehumidification and Condensation Prevention Technology of Electrical Cabinet and Development of Monitoring Platform" by Guan Zhijun uses heating and ventilation methods to control humidity. However, since temperature and humidity are related, using heating to control temperature will inevitably change humidity, which seriously affects the control effect of the entire system. Moreover, using ventilation to control humidity, the electrical cabinet may suck dust from the outside environment into the electrical cabinet during ventilation with the outside, which will accelerate the accumulation of dust in the electrical cabinet. The accumulation of dust in the electrical cabinet will cause the working performance of some electrical components to decrease, and increase the risk of electrical conduction, which may cause short circuit or circuit failure. In addition, harmful gases in the electrical cabinet may also be directly discharged into the air outside the cabinet, causing harm to the human body.

[0004] In the existing patent technology, the invention patent document with publication number CN117311426A discloses a high-voltage switch cabinet temperature and humidity real-time control method based on edge model predictive control, which is applied to the switch cabinet detection technical field. Through the perception layer, the switch cabinet operation environment data is controlled and analyzed in place through the collection terminal in the switch cabinet. The network layer connects the switch cabinet state to big data or cloud through wireless or wired devices. The data layer realizes regional autonomy through terminal edge computing. The application layer realizes different monitoring and analysis according to different states through the terminal. The high-voltage switch cabinet temperature and humidity prediction and real-time control system based on edge computing is provided, which realizes offline calculation in the cloud and online calculation on the edge device in the switch cabinet. Efficient parallel processing of data and control model is realized, and data analysis and processing are quickly completed, realizing accurate prediction of the high-voltage switch cabinet operation environment and real-time control of temperature and humidity.

[0005] The design of the above patent is very complicated, poor in practicability, and not suitable for a single electrical cabinet or a small number of electrical cabinets. Moreover, the patent does not disclose a specific humidity control structure, and it is difficult to achieve real-time control of the humidity inside the electrical cabinet only through the technical solution disclosed by the patent. Therefore, it is a challenging and important task to research an efficient, practical and widely applicable electrical cabinet humidity real-time control device and method. Utility model content

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present embodiment provides a real-time humidity control device of an electrical cabinet, which comprises an electrical cabinet 1, a controller 2, a humidity sensor 3 and an ion membrane dehumidifier 4. The humidity sensor 3 and the ion membrane dehumidifier 4 are electrically connected to the controller 2. The humidity sensor 3 is used to detect the air humidity inside the electrical cabinet 1 and transmit the detection value to the controller 2. The ion membrane dehumidifier 4 is installed on the cabinet wall of the electrical cabinet 1. The ion membrane dehumidifier 4 comprises an ion membrane, a first electrode and a second electrode.

At this time, the humidity value in the electrical cabinet 1 is low, and it is easy to cause the problem of static accumulation due to too low humidity. Therefore, the first electrode of the ion membrane dehumidifier 4 in the electrical cabinet 1 is controlled to be the cathode, and the cathode is the humidity releasing side, so as to improve the humidity in the electrical cabinet 1.

[0040] S32, when H1<H<H2, the ion membrane dehumidifier 4 is not started.

[0043] As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the embodiment provides a kind of electrical cabinet humidity real-time control device, including electrical cabinet 1, controller 2, humidity sensor 3, ion membrane dehumidifier 4, stirring fan 5, heat exchanger 6 and temperature sensor 7, humidity sensor 3, ion membrane dehumidifier 4, stirring fan 5 and temperature sensor 7 are electrically connected with controller 2.Humidity sensor 3 is used to detect the air humidity in the inside of electrical cabinet 1, and the detection value is passed to controller 2.Temperature sensor 7 is used to detect the air temperature in the inside of electrical cabinet 1, and the detection value is passed to controller 2.Stirring fan 5 is arranged in electrical cabinet 1, and stirring fan 5 is used to agitate the air in the inside of electrical cabinet 1, so that the humidity and temperature distribution in the inside of electrical cabinet 1 are uniform, to make the detection result of humidity sensor 3 and temperature sensor 7 more accurate.Heat exchanger 6 is arranged in electrical cabinet 1, and heat exchanger 6 has refrigerant inlet end 61 and refrigerant outlet end 62, and heat exchanger 6 is connected with refrigerant conveying system, and refrigerant conveying system is electrically connected with controller 2.Refrigerant conveying system can use cold water conveying system, which includes water pump, water tank, refrigerating machine and pipeline, and refrigerating machine is used to cool the circulating water in water tank, and water pump is used to convey the water in water tank to heat exchanger 6 through refrigerant inlet end 61, and the water conveyed to heat exchanger 6 will be returned to water tank through refrigerant outlet end 62 and pipeline.

[0049] S200, the controller 2 compares the humidity detection value H of the humidity sensor 3 with the set humidity threshold value, and compares the temperature detection value C of the temperature sensor 7 with the set humidity threshold value C0. The humidity threshold value includes a first humidity threshold value H1 and a second humidity threshold value H2, the first humidity threshold value H1 is 40%, the second humidity threshold value H2 is 60%, and the humidity threshold value C0 is 40 DEG C.

At this time, the humidity value in the electrical cabinet 1 is low, and the problem of static electricity accumulation caused by too low humidity is prone to occur. Therefore, the first electrode of the ion membrane dehumidifier 4 in the electrical cabinet 1 is controlled to be cathode, and the cathode is the wet side, so that the humidity in the electrical cabinet 1 can be improved.

[0052] S320, when H1

[0054] S340, when C

[0055] S350, when C0≤C, the controller 2 sends a signal to the refrigerant conveying system, and the refrigerant conveying system conveys refrigerant into the heat exchanger 6 to reduce the temperature in the electrical cabinet 1.
