Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of RFID equipment technology, and relates to a novel cylindrical antenna with a sealed flange and related equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In some applications that use RFID tags to obtain data such as the temperature of the internal area of ​​a target, especially in the case of monitoring the internal temperature of high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power equipment such as gas-insulated circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers, and frame circuit breakers, the installation of RFID tags and antennas is quite difficult. Traditional installation methods usually require creating holes on the outside of the equipment to insert the tag and antenna inward. This method can easily expose the equipment body, compromise its airtightness and waterproofness, and the insertion method can affect the signal transmission performance due to the narrow impedance bandwidth and radiation bandwidth of the antenna. Utility Model Content

The protective shell is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, the radio frequency antenna is disposed inside the protective shell, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the mounting flange.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting flange has a circular hole extending axially through its center for the radio frequency antenna to pass through, and the circular hole communicates with the inside of the housing.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a second sealing ring, which abuts against the mounting plate and the mounting flange respectively, and the second sealing ring is disposed on the outer periphery of the circular hole.

[0010] A device is provided with the aforementioned novel cylindrical antenna with a sealing flange. The device is also provided with a connecting flange for connecting with the mounting flange.

This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0019] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, horizontal, vertical, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0021] Due to installation errors and other reasons, the parallel relationship referred to in the embodiments of this utility model may actually be an approximate parallel relationship, and the perpendicular relationship may actually be an approximate perpendicular relationship.

[0022] This utility model provides a novel cylindrical antenna with a sealed flange for monitoring the internal temperature of high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power equipment such as gas-filled circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers, and frame circuit breakers.

[0023] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The antenna structure includes a mounting flange 1, an RFID assembly, and an antenna assembly 3, with the RFID assembly and antenna assembly 3 respectively located at both ends of the axial direction of the mounting flange 1.

[0024] Mounting flange 1 is used to connect with the device under test. If necessary, the device under test is provided with a connecting flange on the outside, which can be connected to mounting flange 1 by bolts. The connecting flange has a through hole in the middle that communicates with the inside of the device under test. When mounting flange 1 is connected to connecting flange, RFID component enters the inside of device under test through through hole, and then RFID component can obtain the temperature information inside device under test.

[0025] In some embodiments, the through hole of the connecting flange can be the inspection port of the equipment to be tested. When the connecting flange is not used to install the mounting flange 1, the outer cover of the connecting flange is used to close the inspection port.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 The RFID component includes a housing 2 and an RFID chip 21 disposed inside the housing 2. The housing 2 has a cylindrical structure and is hollow inside for housing the RFID chip 21. A groove 11 is recessed in the middle of the mounting flange 1. One axial end of the housing 2 is embedded in the groove 11 to form a snap-fit ​​limit. Furthermore, the housing 2 and the inner wall of the groove 11 are fixed by screws or rivets to fix the housing 2 and the mounting flange 1.

[0027] The outer casing 2 is made of metal, which provides good thermal conductivity, enabling the internal RFID chip 21 to quickly and accurately obtain temperature data.

[0028] Furthermore, a first annular sealing ring 12 is provided circumferentially inside the groove 11. When the housing 2 is installed with the mounting flange 1, the two sides of the first sealing ring 12 deform and abut against the inner wall of the groove 11 and the circumferential edge of the housing 2, respectively, forming a reliable seal to ensure the sealing inside the housing 2 and prevent the RFID chip 21 from being affected.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 The antenna assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a protective shell 32. The protective shell 32 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 31. A radio frequency antenna 33 is installed inside the protective shell 32. The mounting plate 31 is fastened to the mounting flange 1 by screws. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the mounting flange 1 along the axial direction. One end of the circular hole is located in the middle of the groove 11, so that one end of the radio frequency antenna 33 passes through the circular hole and enters the outer shell 2, thereby connecting with the RFID chip 21. After the RFID chip 21 obtains the temperature data inside the device to be tested, it transmits it to the outside through the radio frequency antenna 33.

[0030] A second sealing ring 34 is also provided on the side of the mounting plate 31 facing the mounting flange 1. When the mounting plate 31 is connected to the mounting flange 1, the second sealing ring 34 is located on the outer periphery of the circular hole, thereby providing a circumferential seal for this side of the circular hole.
