TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of aviation safety technology, concretely relates to a busbar detection device. In addition, the utility model also relates to a busbar assembly containing the aforementioned busbar detection device and a plane windshield glass containing the aforementioned busbar detection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The plane windshield glass is one of the most important components on the plane, which not only protects the pilot from the external environment, but also can withstand the huge pressure difference brought by high-speed flight and the impact of possible bird strikes. Modern plane windshield glasses are usually made of composite materials, which contain multiple layers of different materials to meet the requirements of strength, light transmission and durability. The following are some existing technical characteristics of the plane windshield glass: 1) adopt multi-layer composite structure design, the plane windshield glass is usually composed of several layers of different materials. The outer layer of the plane windshield glass is usually a material with strong wear resistance, the middle layer of the plane windshield glass may have PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or other types of interlayer, and the inner layer of the plane windshield glass is a relatively thick tempered glass layer to ensure the strength of the entire plane windshield glass and prevent the plane windshield glass from breaking. 2) use sodium-potassium system molten salt for ion exchange strengthening, which can significantly improve the strength of the plane windshield glass. 3) In order to ensure the best vision of the pilot, the plane windshield glass needs to have high light transmission and reduce visual distortion.
[0003] In addition to the aforementioned three technical characteristics, in order to ensure the pilot's clear vision in bad weather conditions, the plane windshield glass is usually equipped with a heating system to prevent the plane windshield glass from icing or remove the ice on the plane windshield glass. For example, in order to ensure that the pilot can still have a clear vision under complex weather conditions, the windshield glass of existing large passenger planes is equipped with a heating system to provide anti-icing and defogging functions. The main purpose of this heating system is to prevent frost formation and quickly remove the formed frost when necessary. Its working principle includes the following parts: first, resistance heating, the most common way of heating is to embed a layer of resistance wire or conductive film inside the windshield glass. When electric current passes through these resistance materials, they will generate heat and transfer heat to the surface of the windshield glass. Second, automatic control, the heating system is usually connected to the automatic control system of the plane, which can automatically start or adjust the heating intensity according to the changes of external temperature and humidity. Third, manual control, the pilot can also manually turn on or off the heating system or adjust the heating level through the control panel in the cockpit. For safety reasons, the heating system has the following safety designs. Fourth, overheat protection, the heating system is usually equipped with overheat protection devices to prevent safety hazards caused by overheating of the heating elements. Fifth, redundancy design, in order to improve the reliability and safety of the system, sometimes redundant heating elements or backup circuits are added in the design.
[0004] The busbar is a key component connecting the aircraft windshield heating system and the aircraft windshield heating film, also known as a heating busbar. The heating busbar of the aircraft windshield glass is generally attached to the inner side of the outer aircraft windshield glass, i.e. between the outer aircraft windshield glass and the rubber layer. The heating busbar of the aircraft windshield glass is generally in the form of a strip, which can be composed of a series of small resistance wires, and the series of small resistance wires are usually embedded in a transparent film. The heating busbar of the aircraft windshield glass can also be a conductive coating printed directly on the glass, and the typical installation method is to print a conductive material (such as silver paste) on the surface of the aircraft windshield glass, and then solidify the conductive material at high temperature to form a conductive coating, and the formed conductive coating is the heating busbar; this installation method can not only achieve the purpose of heating, but also maintain the transparency of the aircraft windshield glass. However, this installation method also has some disadvantages. Under extreme conditions, the heating busbar can locally overheat or corrode, causing the resistance between the conductive coating solidified by the silver paste to be too large, resulting in local arc discharge. This local discharge phenomenon can easily cause the heating film to break, and the arc can spread along the crack of the heating film, further inducing arc expansion and cracking of the aircraft windshield heating film, and even inducing breakage of the aircraft windshield glass.
[0005] In the active civil aviation passenger aircraft fleet, the failure of the aircraft windshield glass busbar is a problem that deserves attention, because it directly affects flight safety. For example, the right front windshield glass of the 3U8633 flight of Sichuan Airlines suddenly broke and fell when it normally climbed to an altitude of 9800 meters. As shown in the existing cases, busbar failure can generally cause an arc and cause the outer layer of the aircraft windshield glass to break, seriously affecting the safety of the aircraft. The busbar of a typical civil aviation passenger aircraft is located at the edge of the windshield glass, and the corresponding position can be observed, and the busbar is generally visually inspected. However, moisture intrusion can easily cause corrosion and aging of the busbar, leading to busbar failure, and further causing an arc and causing the outer layer of the aircraft windshield glass to break, and moisture intrusion cannot be easily detected by visual inspection alone.
[0006] Therefore, in order to enhance the safety of the operation of the aircraft windshield glass, developing a busbar detection device to improve the in-service detection capability and reliability of the busbar has become a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0047] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0048] Example 1
[0049] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a busbar detection device, including a detection circuit 1 and a moisture intrusion tracer layer 2. Those skilled in the art know that the outer layer of an aircraft windshield typically includes two busbars 4 arranged vertically, respectively installed on the inner side of the outer aircraft windshield 5 near the top and near the bottom. Figure 1As shown, the upper busbar is installed at the position close to the top of the inner side of the outer aircraft windshield 5, and the lower busbar 41 is installed at the position close to the bottom of the inner side of the outer aircraft windshield 5. The detection circuit 1 in the busbar detection device is arranged below the busbar, specifically below the lower busbar 41; the detection circuit 1 is connected to the inner side of the outer aircraft windshield 5. Preferably, the detection circuit 1 is in the form of a strip as a whole, which is parallel to the busbar 4, that is, the axis of the detection circuit 1 is parallel to the axis of the busbar 4. In actual application, the axis of the busbar 4 inside the cockpit is generally parallel to the ground, so the axis of the detection circuit 1 is also parallel to the ground. The length of the detection circuit 1 is not less than the length of the busbar 4.
[0050] Preferably, the detection circuit 1 is made of copper foil or aluminum foil, or made of silver paste high-temperature curing. Such material makes the detection circuit 1 oxidized when encountering water vapor, resulting in an increase in its resistance. By connecting the external circuit with the detection circuit 1, the change in the resistance value of the detection circuit 1 can be monitored, and then it can be judged whether water vapor intrusion has occurred, so as to achieve the purpose of monitoring the health status of the busbar 4. The detection circuit 1 is the circuit closest to the busbar area, and in the working state of this area, there is no obvious current passing through. The detection circuit 1 is provided with detection ports (two), when it is necessary to detect the busbar 4, a multimeter or resistance measuring device is connected to the detection port of the detection circuit 1, and then the resistance value of the detection circuit 1 is detected. Exemplarily, the detection circuit 1 is a continuous wire, both ends of which are provided with detection ports, which can be arranged at or near the socket position of the busbar 4. When the aircraft is in service after the flight, the detection port can be connected to the test equipment (such as a multimeter or a resistance measuring device), and the test equipment tests the resistance value at both ends of the detection circuit 1, and then judges whether water vapor intrusion has occurred through the measured resistance value.

More preferably, the moisture-sensitive indicator material is combined to the inner side of the outer aircraft windshield glass 5 by chemical transfer. Most preferably, the moisture intrusion tracer layer 2 is parallel to the busbar 4, that is, the axis of the moisture intrusion tracer layer 2 is parallel to the axis of the busbar 4.

On the one hand, it can prolong the actual service life of the aircraft windshield glass, and on the other hand, it can avoid the breakage of the outer layer of the aircraft windshield glass caused by the failure of the busbar 4. Preferably, the moisture barrier layer 3 is parallel to the busbar 4, that is, the axis of the moisture barrier layer 3 is parallel to the axis of the busbar 4.
