Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety monitoring of dangerous signals in power electrical equipment, and in particular to the field of a device for transmitting ultraviolet partial discharge signals using liquid-core optical fiber. Background Technology
[0002] Partial discharge (PD) in high-voltage electrical equipment can be monitored using ultraviolet light generated by PD. Typically, an ultraviolet sensor probe can be installed near the PD-prone area to collect ultraviolet light signals. The intensity and wavelength of the ultraviolet light signals are used to analyze the degree of PD and issue early warning signals to remind relevant personnel to make judgments and take appropriate actions.
[0003] Since light travels in a straight line, the ultraviolet light signal generated when partial discharge occurs inside electrical equipment or on the back of insulating components cannot directly propagate to the ultraviolet sensor probe, thus causing missed detections or reduced accuracy of the signal transmission monitoring system. At the same time, when partial discharge occurs inside the insulation structure of electrical equipment, such as inside the windings of high-voltage motors or SF6 switchgear, the generated ultraviolet light signal is completely shielded and cannot propagate to the ultraviolet sensor probe, which will also have the above-mentioned adverse effects.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to use a device to transmit the ultraviolet light signal generated by partial discharge around obstacles to the ultraviolet sensing probe, so as to overcome the application limitations of the ultraviolet partial discharge monitoring system. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of how to transmit ultraviolet light signals generated by invisible partial discharges around obstacles to the ultraviolet sensing probe, so as to overcome the problem of missed reports or reduced accuracy when the ultraviolet partial discharge monitoring system collects ultraviolet light signals.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a device for transmitting ultraviolet partial discharge signals using liquid-core optical fiber, which conducts and monitors the ultraviolet light generated by partial discharge of high-voltage electrical equipment, characterized in that: it includes a first liquid-core optical fiber and an ultraviolet sensing probe, with the optical window at one end of the first liquid-core optical fiber facing the partial discharge position, and the light outlet at the other end of the first liquid-core optical fiber aligned with the ultraviolet sensing probe.
[0007] It also includes a ring-scanning ultraviolet partial discharge signal coupling device and a second liquid-core fiber, with the first liquid-core fiber aligned with the ultraviolet sensing probe in sequence through the ring-scanning ultraviolet partial discharge signal coupling device and the second liquid-core fiber.
[0008] The ring-scanning ultraviolet partial discharge signal coupling device includes a fixed disk, a rotating disk, and a motor. The fixed disk is fixedly set, and the light outlet of the first liquid-core fiber is arranged on the fixed disk. The rotating disk is driven to rotate by a stepper motor. The optical window of the second liquid-core fiber is fixed on the rotating disk. The optical window on the rotating disk is aligned with or periodically reciprocates with the light outlet of the first liquid-core fiber on the fixed disk. The light outlet of the second liquid-core fiber is aligned with the ultraviolet sensing probe.
[0009] One or more first liquid-core optical fibers are provided, and the light outlets of the multiple first liquid-core optical fibers are arranged in a ring on a fixed disk.
[0010] This invention uses liquid-core optical fiber to accurately and reliably transmit the partial discharge ultraviolet light signal from the blocked or shielded area to the ultraviolet partial discharge probe through pre-embedded methods. Through a ring-scanning ultraviolet partial discharge signal coupling device, it can monitor and locate partial discharge in multiple target areas.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. It uses liquid-core optical fiber to transmit ultraviolet partial discharge signals, which solves the problem that the ultraviolet partial discharge monitoring system of high-voltage electrical equipment suffers from missed reporting or decreased accuracy in ultraviolet light signal acquisition and transmission due to ultraviolet light being blocked or shielded.
[0012] 2. The liquid-core optical fiber used has advantages such as a large core diameter, high and wide spectral transmission efficiency, large numerical aperture, large bending amplitude, and can be made into insulation, making it very suitable for high-voltage applications.
[0013] 3. The ring-scanning ultraviolet partial discharge signal coupling device is adopted to realize partial discharge monitoring and conduction positioning of multiple target areas, which significantly improves the utilization rate of ultraviolet sensor probes and the monitoring efficiency of the system.
