Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent monitoring technology for power equipment, specifically to a wireless temperature monitoring patch. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of data centers, the safe and stable operation of their internal power equipment is crucial. However, low-voltage (380V) circuit breakers in data centers are prone to localized overheating due to poor contact, overload, and other reasons, posing significant safety risks. Currently, the main detection method is to use traditional thermal imaging equipment for periodic maintenance inspections, but this method has many shortcomings:

[0003] 1. The inability to achieve continuous monitoring makes it easy to miss temperature rises in hidden areas, resulting in some potential overheating problems not being detected in time.

[0004] 2. It is impossible to monitor hidden parts such as circuit breaker terminals in real time, making it difficult to detect overheating in the early stages and missing the best time to deal with it.

[0005] 3. Traditional sensors require wiring for installation, making it difficult to cover concealed areas. Wiring is also costly and complex to maintain. Battery-powered wireless sensors have short lifespans, and batteries are prone to failure in high-temperature environments.

[0006] 4. Existing temperature patches lack electromagnetic shielding and data traceability functions, and adhesive patches cannot adapt to temporary testing or multi-point inspection needs, making it difficult to meet the needs of data center use.

[0007] 5. Thermal imagers are expensive and difficult to deploy on a large scale, which limits their widespread application in data centers. Furthermore, during detection, they are easily affected by the refraction of light from the smooth surface of metal, leading to loss of temperature detection accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fast-installation and disassembly wireless temperature monitoring patch that requires no battery power, has strong electromagnetic compatibility, dual verification, and low cost.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A quick-release wireless temperature monitoring patch comprises, from top to bottom, a protective layer, a thermochromic layer, a shielding layer, a substrate insulation layer, and a magnetic layer. An RFID passive temperature sensor is embedded in the thermochromic layer. The RFID passive temperature sensor is powered by electromagnetic wave energy emitted by a reader and interacts with the reader in real time.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective layer is a transparent fluorinated film, which is wear-resistant and anti-fouling.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the thermochromic layer includes a reversible thermochromic region and an irreversible thermochromic locking region.

[0013] Furthermore, the material used in the reversible thermochromic region is a WO3 composite dye. The response temperature range is 40~60℃.

[0014] Furthermore, the material used in the irreversible thermochromic locking zone is a melt indicator. The critical temperature of the melt indicator is 70°C. When the temperature reaches above 70°C, it will permanently turn red. Even if the temperature drops, it will still turn red to record the temperature that has been reached above 70°C for accident tracing.

[0015] Furthermore, the shielding layer is a copper foil layer electroplated on the upper surface of the substrate insulating layer. The shielding layer is used to suppress corona discharge interference and improve electromagnetic compatibility.

[0016] Furthermore, the magnetic layer includes a magnetic sheet array and thermally conductive silicone grease. The magnetic sheet array is distributed on the lower surface of the substrate insulating layer, and the thermally conductive silicone grease fills the gaps between the magnetic sheets in the magnetic sheet array. The magnetic sheet array is used to magnetically attach to the surface of the test piece to achieve rapid installation and removal, while the thermally conductive silicone grease ensures efficient heat transfer.

[0017] Furthermore, the magnetic sheets in the magnetic sheet array are samarium cobalt magnetic sheets.

[0018] Furthermore, the substrate insulation layer is made of polyimide. The substrate insulation layer provides structural support and electrical insulation properties.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. Dual Verification: The reliability of temperature monitoring is significantly improved through a dual verification system of local visualization and remote digitization. Local visualization adopts a collaborative mechanism of reversible color change (40-60℃ gradient) and irreversible locking (permanent marking at ≥70℃).

[0021] 2. Wireless and passive integration: The sensor is powered by an electromagnetic field, eliminating the need for batteries, further extending its lifespan and reducing costs.

[0022] 3. Magnetic design: The high-temperature resistant magnetic pad supports quick installation / removal and is suitable for multi-point inspection.

[0023] 4. Thermal-electric synergistic optimization: Copper foil shielding layer reduces electromagnetic interference, and thermal grease reduces thermal resistance.

[0024] 5. Electromagnetic compatibility: The shielding layer suppresses corona discharge interference at the contact points, ensuring reliable installation. Attached Figure Description

When the temperature reaches above 70°C, it will turn red permanently. Even if the temperature drops, it will still turn red to record the temperature that has been reached above 70°C for accident tracing.

[0037] The shielding layer 3 is a copper foil layer electroplated on the upper surface of the substrate insulating layer 4. The shielding layer is used to suppress corona discharge interference and improve electromagnetic compatibility.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic layer 5 includes a magnetic sheet array 9 and thermally conductive silicone grease 10.

[0040] Working principle: This application is mainly used for data center circuit breakers. This application realizes real-time monitoring of the circuit breaker contacts in data centers through a collaborative mechanism of magnetic installation → temperature sensing → dual early warning → wireless transmission.

[0041] This utility model has the following features:

[0042] (1) Temperature sensing and visual early warning

[0043] Heat conduction path: contact heating → magnetic thermal grease layer → substrate layer → thermochromic color-changing layer (WO3 dye + melt indicator).

[0044] Reversible color change temperature: 40~60℃: WO3 dye changes its crystal structure with temperature. Within the range of 40~60℃, the color change process from low temperature to high temperature is blue→yellow→orange.

[0045] Irreversible locking (≥70℃): The melting indicator undergoes an irreversible chemical reaction, permanently turning red.

[0046] (2) Wireless passive temperature measurement

[0047] Energy acquisition: The reader transmits a signal → the antenna of the RFID passive temperature sensor couples energy → the chip is activated and the temperature is measured.

[0048] Data transmission: After the RFID passive temperature sensor encodes the temperature value, it reflects the signal to the reader through load modulation technology, with a transmission distance of ≥5m.

[0049] (3) Magnetic quick assembly and disassembly

[0050] Magnetic adsorption: The magnetic adsorption force of the magnetic sheet ensures that the patch will not fall off in a vibrating environment.

[0051] Quick installation and removal: Maintenance personnel can directly attach the patch to the test point, leaving no residue when removing it, and supporting the reuse of a single patch.

[0052] (4) Thermal-electric synergistic optimization

[0053] Electromagnetic shielding: The copper foil layer suppresses corona discharge and radio frequency interference, ensuring that the RFID signal-to-noise ratio meets the requirements.

[0054] Thermal design: The gaps between the magnetic pads are filled with thermally conductive silicone grease to ensure that the overall thermal resistance of the patch is less than the specified value, thus avoiding temperature measurement delay.

[0055] Furthermore, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described herein, as well as the features of those different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.
