Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to current switch technical field especially is used for current switch device of zero fire line protection. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the live wire and the zero wire of the alternating current 220V are short-circuited, the current in the circuit increases several times or even several tens or hundreds of times of the normal time, and the heat generated is directly proportional to the square of the current, so that the temperature rises sharply and greatly exceeds the allowable range. If the temperature reaches the ignition temperature of the combustible material, it will cause combustion and lead to fire. When the insulation of electrical equipment deteriorates or loses insulation ability due to high temperature, moisture or corrosion, it may cause a short circuit accident.

[0003] Now, in the face of zero fire line short circuit, the circuit breaker or air switch is generally used for protection, and the principle of the circuit breaker is that the coil of the current release device and the thermal element of the thermal release device are connected in series with the main circuit. When the circuit is short-circuited or seriously overloaded, the armature of the current release device is attracted to make the free release mechanism act, and the main contact breaks the main circuit. The reaction time of the general circuit breaker to start action is about 20 milliseconds (one current cycle). The time from the start of the circuit breaker to the complete disconnection (arc extinguishing) is about 50 to 100 milliseconds. At this time, high-energy arc has been generated at the short-circuit position, and it ignites the combustible material or gas, thereby causing a fire.

[0004] It is understood that the products known to break the alternating current are basically in milliseconds or seconds, which cannot break the circuit when the arc does not appear. In addition, the temperature of the current switch used will continue to rise, and when the temperature is high, the power consumption is large, and the current switch is easily damaged. Therefore, we propose a current switch device for zero fire line protection. Utility model content

[0030] As a preferred implementation mode, the switch device further comprises a live zero line input interface 10 and a live zero line output interface 11, the live zero line input interface 10 and the live zero line output interface 11 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the main circuit board 1, and the live zero line input interface 10 and the live zero line output interface 11 are arranged at the front and back ends of the power supply 5 respectively.

[0031] In the above scheme, electricity enters through the live zero line input interface 10, reaches the power supply 5 (power supply) and the current switch 6 respectively, then reaches the current mutual inductance board 2 through the current switch 6, and finally is output through the live zero line output interface 11.

[0032] As a preferred implementation mode, the main circuit board 1 is electrically connected with the current mutual inductance board 2, the control circuit board 3, the isolation drive 4 and the power supply 5 respectively, the control circuit board 3 is electrically connected with the cooling fan 9, the current switch 6, the current mutual inductance board 2 and the isolation drive 4 respectively, the current mutual inductance board 2 is electrically connected with the current switch 6, the live zero line output interface 11 is electrically connected with the current mutual inductance board 2, the live zero line input interface 10 is electrically connected with the current switch 6, and the power supply 5 is electrically connected with the live zero line input interface 10, the main circuit board 1, the current mutual inductance board 2, the control circuit board 3, the isolation drive 4, the current switch 6 and the cooling fan 9 respectively. The electrical connection can be divided into power connection and signal connection.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment; the heat sink 8 is a fin heat sink 8, the current switch 6 is in contact with the fin on the heat sink 8.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment; the control circuit board 3 is also provided with a filter following module, an AD sampling module and a control module.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment; the heat dissipation fan 9 is fixed on the heat sink 8 by clamping or inserting.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment; the bottom surface of the main circuit board 1 is fixedly installed with a bare copper layer 12. The bare copper layer 12 is welded with copper bars as needed in order to pass through the rated large current.

[0037] In this embodiment, the current switch: composed of field effect tube and related circuit, can adopt different number of field effect tubes according to the current size, the off time of this tube: off delay time td + closing drop time tf = 90ns + 35ns = 125ns, the off time is nanosecond level, which is much smaller than microsecond level. It can be controlled to turn off or turn on by MCU plus isolation and driving circuit.

[0038] In this embodiment, the current mutual inductance board: is an open loop Hall type current sensor module, which is an isolated current detection chip working on the principle of open loop Hall sensor detection. By introducing the current lead of the high voltage side into the package, based on the magnetic effect of current, the equal ratio magnetic field generated around the measured lead is aggregated through the magnetic core, and then inducted by the magnetic sensor of the built-in chip, and converted into a processable equal ratio voltage signal. This voltage signal is read and amplified by the built-in high-precision ADC, and combined with digital calibration technology to remove environmental variables such as temperature, noise, hysteresis and non-linearity, and finally output a voltage value that is nearly ideally proportional to the measured current value, realizing isolated current measurement. The final output voltage value Vout is nearly ideally proportional to the measured current value, Vout = module power supply VCC / 2 + 6.6mV*IP (current flowing through the firewire).

[0039] In this embodiment, the filter following module: the voltage value Vout needs to be filtered by capacitor, the capacitor value should not be too large, in order to increase the driving capacity, through the follower circuit and capacitor filtering, output to the AD sampling pin of MCU.

Meanwhile, the MCU collects the current switch heat dissipation temperature through the temperature sensor, starts the fan for heat dissipation according to the temperature setting.

[0042] In the embodiment, the isolation driving part: the middle circuit part of the MCU driving field effect tube, which is a low-voltage weak current part on one side and a 220V strong current part on the other side, so the two circuits need to be isolated. Here, a special photoelectric isolation driving chip circuit is used, which can play the role of photoelectric isolation and driving control of the conduction and closing of the field effect tube. The propagation delay of light here is tp=190ns, and the control closing time is tf=20ns.

[0043] In the embodiment, the power supply: provides the required DC power supply for the above-mentioned functional modules.

[0044] In the embodiment, the switching device further includes an output protection unit, which plays a protective role when the output transient voltage is too high through a transient voltage suppression diode. Through an RC absorption circuit, the self-induced electromotive force during current transients is clamped, and the impact of voltage mutation caused by the conduction or closing of the AC voltage output on the field effect tube is suppressed.

[0045] In structure, it is composed of three circuit boards. The main circuit board 1 bears a current of up to 200A, so it has a special design in structure. The bottom surface has no device, but a large area of bare copper with tin (bare copper layer 12). The copper row is added to the large current part. The field effect tube is installed on both sides of the heat sink 8. The heat sink 8 is provided with a cooling fan 9 at both ends. The heat sink 8 is a wind tunnel with left-in and right-out, which plays a good heat dissipation effect. This part is on the right side of the main circuit board 1. The fire zero line input interface 10 is on the front side, and the fire zero line output interface 11 is on the back side. The power supply 5 is in the middle. The control circuit board 3 (including filtering and following, AD sampling and control) is on the power supply 5. The current mutual inductance board 2 is a separate circuit, which is connected to the main circuit board 1 through the four-pin and five-pin modules on the back side of the main circuit board 1 and connected to the control circuit board 3 through the socket. This part not only realizes strong and weak current isolation, but also has good heat dissipation effect and good electromagnetic compatibility. The laminated structure effectively utilizes the space and reduces the size of the board.

[0046] In summary, this technology from the inductive current to the off current, all the time is (125+190+20) / 1000+66+83 (program running time) = 149.335 μs, to achieve microsecond level protection, this technology can be used in low voltage distribution line short circuit arc extinguishing protection and overload protection, can reasonably overcome the traditional circuit breaker, air switch and monitoring equipment exists short-circuit current, cut off short-circuit current time long, short-circuit arc spark big, and short service life and other drawbacks, when short-circuit fault occurs, can quickly limit short-circuit current to achieve arc extinguishing protection with microsecond level, can significantly reduce the electrical fire accidents, protect the safety of personnel and property in the use of place.
