Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mutual inductor core detection, especially to a mutual inductor core automatic detection sorting device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The mutual inductor is an important metering, measuring and protecting device in the power system, and the quality of its core directly affects the safety and reliability of the mutual inductor and power grid operation. At present, the excitation characteristic detection, size measurement and weight measurement of the mutual inductor core are usually carried out separately, and mostly manually operated, and the following process inspection mode is adopted:

[0003] 1. manual wiring detection of excitation performance; 2. manual measurement of core size; 3. manual weighing of core weight; 4. recording of test results; 5. quality grading after result determination. Obviously, manual operation is not only low in production efficiency, but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in low accuracy of test results and difficulty in quality tracing. Therefore, automation is the development trend.

[0004] For example, the "intelligent current transformer core sorting instrument" disclosed in the Chinese patent document with the application number "CN201610372558.1" includes a mechanical arm, a controller, an excitation circuit and a measurement circuit. The excitation source is connected in the excitation circuit, and the measurement table is connected in the measurement circuit. The excitation circuit and the measurement circuit are fixed on the measurement frame, and the measurement frame is slidingly connected to the fixed frame.

[0005] The above scheme adds a mechanical arm and a corresponding controller, realizes automatic grabbing and classification of the tested core, eliminates the complicated procedures of winding manual installation and removal and manual placement of the tested core, saves working hours and improves work efficiency. However, the detection process of this scheme can only detect whether the excitation performance of the core is qualified, but cannot detect other parameters, and cannot sort and select the core, so the device needs to be optimized. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] In view of the low efficiency of manual sorting of mutual inductor cores and the single and backward function of traditional automatic sorting devices mentioned in the background art, the utility model integrates excitation detection, visual detection and weighing mechanism to realize multi-dimensional detection of mutual inductor cores, improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of detection, effectively reduce the miss rate and misjudgment rate, and significantly improve the sorting efficiency.

The output mechanism is composed of a plurality of output conveying belts corresponding to the screening air cylinders one by one, which realizes efficient classification and parallel output of the iron cores. This multi-channel output system effectively improves the sorting efficiency and reduces the bottleneck in the sorting process. At the same time, the one-to-one air cylinder and output conveying belt design ensures the accuracy of classification.

[0016] Further, it further comprises a control device electrically connected with the detection unit, the sorting unit and the conveying unit.

[0041] In practical applications, the operation process of the transformer core automatic detection and sorting device is as follows: first, the operator starts the system and sets the relevant parameters through the man-machine interface, including detection standards, sorting categories, etc. The transformer core to be detected is placed at the entrance of the first conveyor belt 2, and then conveyed to the excitation detection station 4. At this time, the upper and lower detection probes excite the core for detection, and the excitation tester 13 collects data and transmits them to the control device. After detection is completed, the excitation detection cylinder 5 pushes the core away from the station, and the auxiliary cylinder 6 immediately pushes it into the second conveyor belt 3.

[0042] When the core moves along the second conveyor belt 3, it first passes through the visual detection probe 14, which captures the appearance image of the core in real time and transmits it to the visual detection display instrument 15. Then, the core enters the weighing station 18, and the weighing sensor 16 accurately measures its weight. All detection data are transmitted to the central control device in real time, and after algorithm processing, the system makes a sorting decision. According to the decision result, the corresponding screening cylinder 19 is started to push the core to the corresponding output conveyor belt 20. During the whole process, the data storage device continuously records the detection results and sorting information, which are stored locally and uploaded to the cloud through the remote data transmission module, for subsequent analysis and traceability.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] This embodiment is based on Example 1 as a preferred solution, and a buffer zone can be added to the second conveyor belt 3 to temporarily store the detected cores that have not been sorted yet, in order to improve the overall throughput of the system. In addition, a machine learning algorithm can be introduced to continuously optimize the detection parameters and sorting decisions by analyzing historical data, improving the adaptability and accuracy of the system.

[0045] In actual production, this device can significantly improve the detection efficiency and sorting accuracy of transformer cores. For example, in a typical transformer production line, the traditional manual detection method can process about 100-150 cores per hour, while this device can increase this number to 500-600 cores per hour, while reducing the detection error rate from 2-3% for manual operation to below 0.5%. In addition, since full automation and data are realized, the device can run continuously for 24 hours, greatly improving the overall efficiency of the production line.
