Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of high voltage frequency converter integrated machine, and specifically relates to a protection circuit for a high voltage frequency converter integrated machine. Background Technology
[0002] A variable frequency drive (VFD) integrated machine is a device that integrates a motor controller, a frequency converter, and an operation panel. However, with the development of VFD integrated machines, their operating voltage and power are increasing, posing a greater risk to workers when near them. The increasing size of VFD integrated machines also leads to larger blind spots for workers. Furthermore, in VFD integrated machine application sites, there are various job types and high personnel turnover. During debugging, startup, and operation, it is unavoidable that workers may be too close to the equipment, easily causing electrical and mechanical injuries.
[0003] Existing protection solutions generally require workers to wear mobile terminals and communicate with the host machine for protection. However, this solution cannot be well applied to increasingly complex working environments, as the communication between the mobile terminal and the host machine is easily interfered with by the working environment of the high-voltage frequency converter.
[0004] Therefore, how to reduce interference from the working environment of high-voltage frequency converters, improve the protection level of high-voltage frequency converters, and avoid harm to workers are technical problems that need to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this specification.
[0020] like Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the connection structure of the protection circuit for a high-voltage frequency converter provided in this embodiment. While this specification provides the structures shown in the embodiments or accompanying drawings, based on conventional methods or without creative effort, the structures may include more or fewer combined structures. These structures are not limited to those shown in the embodiments or accompanying drawings. In practical applications of devices or terminal products, the structures described can be executed sequentially or in parallel according to the embodiments or module structures.
[0021] The high-voltage frequency converter integrated machine protection circuit provided in the embodiments of this specification is applied in a high-voltage frequency converter integrated machine. The high-voltage frequency converter integrated machine protection circuit includes:
[0022] Distance sensor, connected to isolation module 1;
[0023] An infrared sensor is connected to isolation module 2;
[0024] An audible and visual alarm is connected to isolation module 3;
[0025] An environmental monitoring module is connected to isolation module 1, isolation module 2 and isolation module 3 respectively, and the environmental monitoring module is also connected to the main controller of the high-voltage frequency converter.
[0026] Specifically, the circuit in this application monitors moving objects within a set range using a distance sensor and an infrared sensor. The distance sensor is... Figure 1The proximity sensor, distance sensor, and infrared sensor in the circuit receive data and send it to the main controller of the high-voltage frequency converter via the environmental monitoring module. The main controller of the high-voltage frequency converter makes a judgment based on the two types of data and then issues a command to the circuit of this application. The environmental monitoring module then controls the audible and visual alarm to sound an alarm according to the command. The environmental monitoring module is a single-chip microcomputer or microprocessor with basic judgment functions. When the environmental monitoring module detects that the distance between a moving object and the frequency converter is less than the warning threshold, it directly controls the audible and visual alarm to sound an alarm. The main controller makes a judgment based on the distance data and infrared data and issues a command. This can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation and is not within the scope of the circuit of this application. Alternatively, the environmental monitoring module can transmit the acquired data to the main controller in the high-voltage frequency converter. The main controller processes the data and then issues a command to the environmental monitoring module in the circuit of this application. In addition, the main controller is also connected to the power input terminal of the high-voltage frequency converter through relay KM1. Those skilled in the art can also set the main controller to shut off the power supply to the high-voltage frequency converter at the same time as issuing the alarm command, so that it is in a safe state.
[0027] In this embodiment of the application, the isolation module 1, isolation module 2 and isolation module 3 are all isolation safety barriers, wherein the isolation module 1 and isolation module 2 are of model NPEXA-CM31 and the isolation module 3 is of model NPEXB-C511.
[0028] In this embodiment, the circuit further includes a power supply module, specifically a transformer. The input terminal of the transformer is connected to the power input terminal of the high-voltage frequency converter, and the output terminal of the transformer is connected to the input terminal of the switching power supply. The output terminal of the switching power supply is connected to the input terminal of the intrinsically safe power supply. The output terminal of the switching power supply also outputs 24V DC power to power isolation modules 1, 2, 3, and the environmental monitoring module. The output terminal of the intrinsically safe power supply outputs 12V DC power to power the infrared sensor, proximity sensor, and audible and visual alarm. High-voltage frequency converters are typically used in mines, located in flammable and explosive environments. Standards require that devices in hazardous and safe areas cannot communicate directly. Therefore, this solution uses isolation modules for isolation and intrinsically safe power supplies to power devices in hazardous areas. The switching power supply is also connected to the proximity sensor, infrared sensor, and audible and visual alarm.
