DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0025] Embodiment one

[0026] An end-of-line lightning monitoring device, comprising a first processing module 1 and a monitoring module, the monitoring module comprising a first sensor unit 2 cooperating with the cable end and a second sensor unit 3 cooperating with the collection row; the first sensor unit 2 is used to output a position signal to the first processing module 1 when the current flowing through the cable end is greater than the first threshold value, and the second sensor unit 3 is used to output a current value signal to the first processing module 1 when the current flowing through the collection row is greater than the second threshold value.

[0027] The cable end flows through the current through the collection drain, the cable end lightning strike monitoring system monitors the current flowing through the cable end, and the current flowing through the collection drain, when there is a lightning current, the monitoring module in the end lightning strike monitoring device obtains the position signal of the cable end flowing through the lightning current and the current value signal of the lightning current of the collection drain, the first processing module 1 judges the path of the lightning current flowing through the position signal and the current value signal, and matches the current value signal and the position signal obtained by monitoring, and then obtains the current size of the lightning current flowing through the cable end corresponding to the position signal.

[0028] Compared with the traditional scheme of directly monitoring the cable end, the current size of the lightning current flowing through the cable end is obtained, and the scheme is suitable for the case that the number of cable ends is large. The sensor device for measuring lightning current information has high cost. If each cable end is configured with a sensor device capable of measuring lightning current information, the number of cable ends is large, and the cost of the cable end lightning monitoring system is high.

[0029] The scheme configures a first sensor unit 2 capable of outputting a position signal when a lightning current flows through each cable end, thereby realizing the position determination of the cable end flowing through the lightning current; the monitoring of the lightning current size is realized by configuring a second sensor unit 3 capable of measuring lightning current information on the collection drain. The second sensor unit 3 is consistent with the device for measuring lightning current information in the traditional scheme, which can monitor the size of the lightning current. The first processing module 1 receives the position signal output by the first sensor unit 2 when the current flowing through the cable end is greater than the first threshold value, and the current value signal output by the second sensor unit 3 when the current flowing through the collection drain is greater than the second threshold value, and matches the two, thereby realizing the monitoring of the lightning current size of the large number of cable ends with low cost.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the first sensor unit 2 includes a current transformer 4 and a lightning counting circuit 5, and the second sensor unit 3 includes a lightning transformer 9.

[0031] The scheme configures a current transformer 4 and a lightning counting circuit 5 capable of outputting an electrical signal when a lightning current flows through each cable end. The above elements are integrated into the first sensor unit 2. Compared with the sensor device for measuring lightning current information used in the traditional scheme, the sensor device in the scheme mainly realizes the discrimination of the lightning current through the rectifier bridge 15 in the lightning counting circuit 5; the monitoring of the lightning current size is realized by configuring the lightning transformer 9 capable of measuring lightning current information on the collection drain.

[0032] In an alternative embodiment, the first sensor unit 2 further comprises a first processing unit 7, the lightning stroke counting circuit 5 comprises an external sampling resistor 14 and a rectifier bridge 15, the secondary side 13 of the current transformer 4 is coupled with the external sampling resistor 14, and the rectifier bridge 15 is coupled with the first processing unit 7; the first processing unit 7 is electrically connected with the first processing module 1.

[0033] The external sampling resistor 14 converts the current signal of the secondary side 13 of the current transformer 4 into a voltage signal. Generally, the voltage value of the voltage signal converted by the external sampling resistor 14 cannot make the rectifier bridge 15 conduct, so the voltage signal cannot be transmitted to the port of the first processing unit 7 corresponding to the lightning stroke event. When a lightning stroke event occurs, the voltage value of the voltage signal converted by the external sampling resistor 14 reaches a threshold value that makes the rectifier bridge 15 conduct. The voltage signal passing through the rectifier bridge 15 is output to the first processing unit 7. The first processing unit 7 determines the triggering of the lightning stroke event through the voltage signal and outputs a preset position signal to the first processing module 1.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment, the second sensor unit 3 comprises a second processing unit 8, and the secondary side 13 of the lightning stroke transformer 9 is coupled with the second processing unit 8; the second processing unit 8 is electrically connected with the first processing module 1.

[0035] The first processing unit 7 determines the triggering of the lightning stroke event through the voltage signal and outputs a preset position signal to the first processing module 1, while outputting the first time information, i.e. the time when the lightning stroke current is monitored by the current transformer 4 on the cable end. When the lightning stroke current is discharged through the collection drain, the lightning stroke transformer 9 at the collection drain sends a lightning stroke current signal to the second processing unit 8. The second processing unit 8 outputs the lightning stroke current information to the first processing module 1, while outputting the second time information, i.e. the time when the lightning stroke current is monitored by the lightning stroke transformer 9 on the collection drain. After receiving the position signal and the lightning stroke current information, the first processing module 1 compares the first time information and the second time information. When the time difference between the two is less than a preset threshold, it is ensured that the position signal and the lightning stroke current information are for the same lightning stroke event.

[0036] Embodiment Two

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, the monitoring module comprises at least two first sensor units 2, and the first processing units 7 in the at least two first sensor units 2 are respectively electrically connected with the first processing module 1 through the two buses 10.

The cable terminal matched with the aluminum sheath of each cable is connected with one collection row, and the cable terminal matched with the steel tape of each cable is also connected with one collection row, thereby forming a cable group. Each cable terminal in the cable group is matched with one first sensor unit 2, and each collection row is matched with one second sensor unit 3.

[0039] The first processing unit 7 in the first sensor unit 2 is connected with the first processing module 1 through the two-wire bus 10. The communication and power supply between the first processing module 1 and the first processing unit 7 are realized by the connection mode of the two-wire bus 10, which simplifies the construction of the cable. When the number of cables is large, the above-mentioned first processing unit 7 is grouped into a group through the two-wire bus 10, and the first processing module 1 only needs one port to realize the electrical connection between the group and the first sensor unit 2.

The first processing module 1 sends information to the first processing unit 7 through voltage change, and the first processing unit 7 sends information to the first processing module 1 through current change.

The communication and power supply between the first processing module 1 and the second processing unit 8 are realized by the connection mode of the two-wire bus 10, which simplifies the construction of the cable. When the number of cable groups is large, the first processing module 1 only needs one port to realize the electrical connection between the multiple second sensor units 3.

The first processing module 1 sends information to the second processing unit 8 through voltage changes, and the second processing unit 8 sends information to the first processing module 1 through current changes.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, the first processing module 1 includes at least two ports, each port being electrically connected to a set of two bus lines 10. The ports of the first processing module 1 are respectively connected to the two bus lines 10 connected to the second processing unit 8 and the two bus lines 10 connected to the first processing unit 7.
