Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of partial discharge detection technology, and more specifically, to a partial discharge multi-source signal detection system. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of power systems, the safety and stability of power equipment are of paramount importance. Partial discharge detection technology, as a key means of monitoring the condition of power equipment, can keenly detect minute discharge phenomena inside the equipment, and take timely maintenance measures through early warning, effectively preventing equipment failures and significantly extending the service life of the equipment.

[0003] Traditional partial discharge detection methods are mainly based on electrical approaches, among which the pulse current method is widely used due to its simple principle and convenient operation. This method determines whether a discharge event has occurred by detecting the pulse current signal generated by partial discharge. However, in practical applications, this method has obvious drawbacks. On the one hand, due to the complex internal structure of power equipment and the presence of a lot of electromagnetic interference, the positioning accuracy of the discharge source is limited, making it difficult to accurately determine the discharge location. On the other hand, in terms of dynamic monitoring of the discharge process, the pulse current method can only obtain limited discharge parameters and cannot fully present the dynamic changes of the discharge process, making it difficult to meet the needs of refined operation and maintenance of power equipment.

[0004] Acoustic emission technology, based on the principle of elastic waves generated when materials have internal defects or deformities, has achieved good application results in materials science, structural health monitoring and other fields. By receiving and analyzing elastic wave signals, it can effectively identify the damage inside materials. However, in the scenario of partial discharge detection, most existing acoustic emission sensors are single-function, that is, they can only realize vibration signal monitoring or acoustic emission signal monitoring, and cannot simultaneously acquire vibration signals and acoustic emission signals generated during partial discharge. This makes it difficult to comprehensively analyze the partial discharge phenomenon from multiple dimensions, which greatly limits the accuracy and reliability of partial discharge detection and cannot meet the actual needs of partial discharge detection in power equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a multi-source signal detection system for partial discharge, so as to solve the problem that existing technologies cannot simultaneously monitor vibration and acoustic emission signals in partial discharge detection.

[0006] The embodiments of this utility model are implemented as follows:

[0008] The aforementioned detection device comprises a housing assembly, a detection assembly, a communication assembly, a display assembly, and a fixing assembly. The detection assembly is disposed within the housing assembly and connected to the communication assembly. The communication assembly is disposed on the outer side wall of the housing assembly. The display assembly is disposed on the top surface of the housing assembly. The fixing assembly is disposed at the bottom of the housing assembly.

[0009] In use, the fixing component at the bottom of the aforementioned housing assembly attaches the aforementioned detection device to the electrical equipment. The aforementioned detection component collects data from the electrical equipment through the aforementioned housing assembly, the aforementioned detection component, the aforementioned communication component, the aforementioned display component, and the aforementioned fixing component.

Thus, the partial discharge multi-source signal detection system has the beneficial effect of simultaneously monitoring vibration and acoustic emission signals in partial discharge detection.

In the high frequency range of acoustic emission (50kHz~200kHz), the damping material operates as a broadband acoustic emission sensor. This realizes a composite sensor that outputs both vibration and acoustic emission signals simultaneously. It can monitor in real time the internal deformation or damage of equipment caused by partial discharge, and is suitable for multi-parameter testing applications such as partial discharge status monitoring.

The oscilloscope helps engineers analyze the waveform characteristics of signals, such as rise time, fall time, and pulse width. In addition, it can help engineers find problems and faults in the circuit, such as signal interference and circuit misalignment. The oscilloscope can store the waveform and parameters of electrical signals for subsequent analysis and comparison, and can replay the waveform to display and detect changes in circuit performance. In short, the oscilloscope is used for circuit debugging, fault diagnosis, and analysis of circuit performance.

[0017] Optionally: the above-mentioned housing assembly is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the bottom opening of the above-mentioned housing assembly is provided with a receiving cavity, which is connected to the above-mentioned fixing assembly;

Furthermore, the connection hole located on the outer side of the aforementioned housing component facilitates the transmission of the acquired data from the connection hole.

[0020] Optionally, the above communication component has a grounding wire and a signal line for transmitting sound and vibration signals.

[0021] With this setup, the acoustic emission vibration module contains the same sensitive element, and both signals are output from a coaxial terminal via a signal line and a ground line. The aforementioned detection component transmits sound and vibration signals through the signal line.

[0022] Optionally, the display component has a display screen disposed on the top surface of the housing component.

[0023] With this configuration, the aforementioned display screen can more comprehensively display partial discharge events, enabling precise location of the partial discharge source and dynamic monitoring of the discharge process.

[0024] Optionally, the above-mentioned fixing component is an insulating base, and a suction cup is provided at the bottom of the insulating base.

[0025] With this setup, the suction cup is used to attach and fix the device to the partial discharge field detection equipment, such as a basin insulator, so that the detection system can simultaneously monitor vibration and acoustic emission signals.

[0026] Optionally, the amplification device is located outside the detection device and includes a noise reduction cable, an external amplifier, and a coaxial cable connected in sequence. The noise reduction cable is electrically connected to the communication component, and the coaxial cable is electrically connected to the acquisition device.

[0027] With this configuration, the external amplifier can achieve higher sensitivity and lower noise in signal capture, resulting in higher accuracy in partial discharge power source analysis and facilitating the simultaneous monitoring of vibration and acoustic emission signals by the detection system.

[0028] Optionally, the amplification device is a built-in amplifier, which is disposed inside the housing assembly and electrically connected to the communication assembly.

[0029] With this configuration, the built-in amplifier makes the detection component structure simpler and more portable, making it easier to carry and use.

[0030] In summary, the partial discharge multi-source signal detection system disclosed in this utility model integrates acoustic emission and vibration detection functions. Acoustic emission and vibration are acquired through the same component, and both signals are output from a single coaxial terminal. This allows for more comprehensive monitoring of partial discharge events, providing richer signal information, enabling precise location of partial discharge sources and dynamic monitoring of the discharge process. It also more effectively prevents and diagnoses power equipment faults, improving equipment operational safety and reliability.

[0041] The detection device 1 has a housing assembly 5, a detection assembly 6, a communication assembly 7, a display assembly 8, and a fixing assembly 9. The detection assembly 6 is disposed inside the housing assembly 5 and connected to the communication assembly 7. The communication assembly 7 is disposed on the outer side wall of the housing assembly 5. The display assembly 8 is disposed on the top surface of the housing assembly 5. The fixing assembly 9 is disposed on the bottom of the housing assembly 5.

[0042] In use, the fixing component 9 at the bottom of the housing component 5 adsorbs the detection device 1 onto the electrical equipment. The detection component 6 detects and collects data from the electrical equipment through the housing component 5, the detection component 6, the communication component 7, the display component 8, and the fixing component 9. The data is amplified and filtered by the built-in amplifier 21 of the amplification device 2 or by the noise reduction cable 18, the external amplifier 19, and the coaxial cable 20. The signal is then transmitted to the acquisition device 3 and stored. The analysis device 4 receives the signal and analyzes it. After the analysis is completed, the staff can know the type of partial discharge, which facilitates accurate positioning and avoids the occurrence of faults.

[0043] The partial discharge multi-source signal detection system disclosed in this embodiment acquires sound and vibration signals through detection device 1, amplifies and filters the signals through amplification device 2, transmits the signals to acquisition device 3 for storage, and analyzes the signals through analysis device 4. This enables the partial discharge type to be obtained and located, thus giving the partial discharge multi-source signal detection system the beneficial effect of simultaneously monitoring vibration and acoustic emission signals in partial discharge detection.

[0044] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The detection component 6 is an acoustic emission vibration module (not shown in the figure). The acoustic emission vibration module is electrically connected to the communication component 7. The acoustic emission vibration module combines the characteristics of acoustic emission sensors and accelerometers. The damping material is introduced as a mass block into the structure of the piezoelectric accelerometer. In the frequency range of vibration caused by partial discharge (10Hz~20kHz), the damping material acts as a load weight to perform the function of an accelerometer. In the high frequency range of acoustic emission (50kHz~200kHz), the damping material operates as a broadband acoustic emission sensor. This realizes a composite sensor that outputs vibration and acoustic emission signals simultaneously. It can monitor the internal deformation or damage of equipment caused by partial discharge in real time and is suitable for multi-parameter testing occasions such as partial discharge status monitoring.

The oscilloscope 12 and the analysis host 13 are used to measure parameters such as voltage, current, and frequency of different signals. By displaying the signal as a continuous curve on the fluorescent screen, the changes in electrical signals in the circuit can be monitored intuitively. The oscilloscope 12 can help engineers analyze the waveform characteristics of the signal, such as rise time, fall time, and pulse width. In addition, it can help engineers find problems and faults in the circuit, such as signal interference and circuit misalignment. The oscilloscope 12 can store the waveform and parameters of the electrical signal for subsequent analysis and comparison, and can play back the waveform to display and detect changes in the circuit effect. In short, the oscilloscope 12 is used for circuit debugging, fault diagnosis, and analysis of circuit performance.

[0047] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer shell assembly 5 is a hollow cylindrical structure.

The outer side of the outer shell assembly 5 is provided with a connection hole 15 for connecting to the communication assembly 7. The setting of the receiving cavity 14 makes it easy to arrange the detection assembly 6 and the communication assembly 7 inside the receiving cavity 14, which makes the detection system simple in structure, easy to carry and use. The connection hole 15 is located on the outer side of the outer shell assembly 5, which is conducive to the transmission of the collected data from the connection hole 15.

[0048] The communication component 7 has a ground wire (not shown in the figure) and a signal line (not shown in the figure) for transmitting sound and vibration signals. The acoustic emission vibration module has the same sensitive element inside. Both signals are output from a coaxial terminal with a signal line and a ground wire.

The display screen 16 can display partial discharge events more comprehensively, enabling precise positioning of the partial discharge source and dynamic monitoring of the discharge process.

[0050] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixing component 9 is an insulating base 17. The bottom of the insulating base 17 is equipped with a suction cup (not shown in the figure). The suction cup is used to adsorb and fix it on the partial discharge field detection equipment, such as a basin insulator, so that the detection system can simultaneously monitor vibration and acoustic emission signals.

[0051] The amplification device 2 is located outside the detection device 1 and includes a noise reduction cable 18, an external amplifier 19 and a coaxial cable 20 connected in sequence. The noise reduction cable 18 is electrically connected to the communication component 7 and the coaxial cable 20 is electrically connected to the acquisition device 3. The external amplifier 19 enables higher sensitivity and lower noise in signal capture, resulting in higher accuracy in partial discharge power source analysis and facilitating the detection system to simultaneously monitor vibration and acoustic emission signals.

[0052] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, by integrating acoustic emission and vibration detection functions, acoustic emission and vibration are acquired through the same component, and both signals are output from a coaxial terminal. This enables more comprehensive monitoring of partial discharge events, provides richer signal information, achieves precise location of partial discharge sources and dynamic monitoring of the discharge process, more effectively prevents and diagnoses power equipment faults, and improves the operational safety and reliability of the equipment.
