[0016] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the drawings, so that the advantages and characteristics of the utility model can be more easily understood by the person skilled in the art, and the protection scope of the utility model is more clearly and explicitly defined.
[0017] AsFigure 1 The control loop disconnection detection device for the feeder terminal unit and the circuit breaker includes a disconnection detection module and an information uploading module.
[0018] The disconnection detection module is embedded in the feeder terminal unit and is used for realizing the opening and closing operations of the control loop and the disconnection detection, and includes an opening loop disconnection detection module and a closing loop disconnection detection module.
[0019] The information uploading module is connected with the disconnection detection module, is used for receiving the disconnection detection signal sent by the disconnection detection module and uploading to the operation and maintenance software, and includes a single-chip microcomputer and a control chip connected with the single-chip microcomputer.
[0020] The control chip adopts PCA9555APW, as shown in Figure 4 The CPU adopts an STM32F407ZGT6 chip, and the CPU and the control chip adopt I 2 C bus communication.
[0021] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The light coupling includes a light coupling front stage and a light coupling rear stage, the opening loop disconnection detection module and the closing loop disconnection detection module share one circuit breaker, the opening loop disconnection detection module includes a first triode, a first light coupling front stage, a first light coupling rear stage and the circuit breaker, the closing loop disconnection detection module includes a second triode, a second light coupling front stage, a second light coupling rear stage and the circuit breaker, the first triode is connected with the first light coupling front stage, the second triode is connected with the second light coupling front stage, the first light coupling front stage and the second light coupling front stage are connected with the circuit breaker respectively, the circuit breaker is connected with the first light coupling rear stage and the second light coupling rear stage respectively, and the first light coupling rear stage and the second light coupling rear stage are connected with the control chip respectively.
[0022] Specifically, taking the opening loop disconnection detection as an example, as shown in Figure 3 The YB_F signal and the PGND are connected by the circuit breaker switch and together with the triode Q3 to form the light coupling OC1 front stage. Usually, the circuit breaker is closed, the light coupling OC1 front stage and rear stage are both conducted, at this time, the light coupling rear stage FZ_CHECK level changes from high to low, the CPU does not output the disconnection alarm; but when the circuit breaker and the FTU are disconnected at a certain place, the YB_F signal and the PGND are disconnected, the light coupling front stage cannot form a loop, the light coupling rear stage cannot be conducted, the FZ_CHECK signal potential of the light coupling rear stage is always high, the CPU outputs the disconnection alarm and feeds back to the operation and maintenance software.
[0023] The closing circuit and the opening circuit have the same detection principle.
[0024] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0025] The circuit is built in the FTU box, and is connected with the circuit breaker through the external cable via the FTU plug. In this case, if there is no disconnection fault from the FTU to the internal circuit breaker, the light coupling rear stage is turned on, the disconnection signal level is reversed, and then enters the control chip PCA9555APW, and finally enters the CPU. The CPU responds to the signal, and does not output the disconnection alarm. On the contrary, if there is a disconnection fault from the FTU to the internal circuit breaker due to some reason, the light coupling rear stage cannot be turned on, the disconnection signal level remains unchanged, and after entering the CPU through the control chip PCA9555APW, the CPU responds to the signal, outputs the disconnection alarm to the operation and maintenance software, and reminds the power operation and maintenance personnel.
[0026] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above embodiments are only specific embodiments of the utility model, which are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, but not to limit them, and the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this.
