Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness technology, and in particular to intelligent fault detection and early warning wire harness. Background Technology
[0002] Wiring harnesses are suitable for use in automobiles, industrial automation equipment, power transmission systems, and other fields.
[0003] The fault warning harness can monitor the harness's operating status in real time, promptly detect potential faults and issue warnings, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
[0004] Traditional wire harnesses rely primarily on periodic manual inspections to detect faults, which presents several problems. Firstly, manual inspections cannot provide real-time updates on the harness's operational status, and faults often occur suddenly, making it difficult to detect potential problems in advance. Once a fault occurs, it can lead to equipment downtime, affecting production schedules and even causing safety accidents. Secondly, the causes of wire harness faults are complex and diverse, such as open circuits, short circuits, and poor connections. Manual troubleshooting is difficult, inefficient, and consumes a significant amount of manpower and time. Although some existing wire harnesses have introduced simple detection methods, most can only detect a single type of fault, lacking comprehensiveness and intelligence, and failing to meet the high reliability and safety requirements of modern equipment.
[0005] To address the above issues, we have launched an intelligent fault detection and early warning harness. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model discloses an intelligent fault detection and early warning wiring harness, which aims to solve the technical problems in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] The intelligent fault detection and early warning wiring harness includes an insulating sheath and conductors. Multiple sets of conductors are disposed inside the insulating sheath, and each conductor is wrapped with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation layer. A cushioning material is filled between the PVC insulation layer and the insulating sheath. The harness also includes an intelligent detection module, which is located on top of the insulating sheath and has a micro-circuit board fixedly connected inside. The module contains a control processing unit, a built-in fault diagnosis algorithm, and a communication interface. Temperature, current, and voltage sensors are respectively disposed on the bottom of the micro-circuit board. The output terminals of the temperature, current, and voltage sensors are all sleeved on the conductors. A data transmission line, made of shielded twisted-pair cable, is connected at one end to the micro-circuit board of the intelligent detection module and at the other end to the control processing unit.
[0009] In automated production lines in large factories, temperature sensors, current sensors, and voltage sensors monitor the temperature, current, and voltage data of conductors in real time. The data is transmitted to the control processing unit via data transmission lines, and the fault diagnosis algorithm analyzes the data to detect abnormalities in advance.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, an audible and visual alarm is fixedly connected to the intelligent detection module. When the control processing unit determines that a fault has occurred in the wiring harness, the audible and visual alarm emits sound and light warning signals.
[0011] If the control processing unit detects an abnormal current in a certain section of the wiring harness and determines that there is a risk of short circuit, it will immediately trigger the sound and light alarm on the intelligent detection module to quickly remind maintenance personnel to check and repair the fault by sound and flashing lights, thus preventing the fault from escalating.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a wireless communication module is fixedly connected to the intelligent detection module, and the wireless communication module sends fault information to a mobile terminal or a monitoring center.
[0013] If a widely distributed wiring harness fails, the wireless communication module will send information such as the specific location and type of the fault to the mobile terminal of the maintenance personnel and the monitoring center in real time. This allows staff to grasp the situation immediately without going to the site, quickly formulate a repair plan, and improve maintenance efficiency.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, both ends of multiple sets of conductors are fixedly connected with connectors.
[0015] Multiple intelligent fault detection and early warning wiring harnesses can be quickly connected using connectors, making installation convenient. At the same time, the connectors ensure the stability of the connection and do not affect the real-time monitoring of the wires by the intelligent detection module, ensuring the safe operation of the entire electrical system.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the control processing unit analyzes and processes data using a fault diagnosis algorithm to determine the type and severity of the wiring harness fault.
[0017] When the temperature sensor detects a sudden temperature rise, the control processing unit combines current and voltage data and uses a fault diagnosis algorithm to determine whether the overheating is caused by poor contact or aging of the circuit, and at the same time assesses the severity of the fault, providing an accurate basis for subsequent maintenance.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, all the wires are constructed with a high-purity oxygen-free copper structure.
[0019] High-purity oxygen-free copper conductors can reduce resistance, decrease power loss and heat generation, and ensure stable equipment operation.
[0020] The intelligent fault detection and early warning wiring harness provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0021] In this utility model:
[0022] 1. The intelligent detection module integrates multiple sensors, which can monitor key parameters such as temperature, current and voltage of the harness in real time and comprehensively, and obtain harness operating status information in a timely manner;
[0023] 2. The control processing unit has a built-in fault diagnosis algorithm, which can intelligently analyze the monitoring data, accurately determine the fault type and severity, and issue timely audible, visual and wireless warning signals through the early warning device to achieve early warning of faults and avoid accidents.
[0024] 3. Compared with manual inspection, this wiring harness can quickly and accurately locate faults, greatly shortening the troubleshooting time, improving equipment maintenance efficiency, reducing equipment downtime, and reducing production losses;
[0025] 4. Remote early warning and data interaction are achieved through the wireless communication module, allowing staff to monitor the wiring harness operation status anytime and anywhere, facilitating remote monitoring and management, improving the convenience and intelligence of management, and greatly improving the quality of operation and efficiency compared to traditional devices.
