Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of SF6 gas density monitoring technology, and more specifically, to an SF6 gas relay density monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for high reliability in smart grids and high-voltage electrical equipment, SF6 gas, due to its excellent insulation and arc-extinguishing properties, is widely used in GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) and circuit breakers. Density relays, as the core component of SF6 gas condition monitoring, directly affect the safe operation of equipment due to their measurement accuracy. However, existing digital density relays, under complex temperature-changing conditions, suffer from density conversion errors due to temperature compensation lag, easily leading to false alarms or monitoring failures, thus hindering the improvement of high-voltage equipment condition sensing capabilities.
[0003] Traditional solutions primarily mitigate the effects of temperature by using separate temperature sensors (such as external probes) combined with electronic compensation algorithms. However, these sensors are typically located far from the gas flow path, resulting in long heat conduction paths that are susceptible to environmental interference, leading to response delays (>5 seconds) and steady-state errors (above ±1℃). Furthermore, mechanical compensation structures (such as bimetallic strips) suffer from nonlinear errors and aging drift issues, while pure algorithm optimization is limited by sensor data lag, making it difficult to achieve real-time and accurate compensation under dynamic operating conditions.
[0004] In summary, the technical problem of density monitoring deviation caused by insufficient real-time performance and accuracy of temperature compensation in SF6 gas relay density monitoring devices is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

The device includes a housing 20, a gas flow channel 30, and a control unit 40. The gas flow channel 30 is a cylindrical pipe penetrating the housing 20 and has flange interfaces at both ends for connecting to external SF6 gas pipes. An annular mounting base 13 protruding towards the center is fixed to the inner wall of the gas flow channel 30 by welding. A sensor module 10 is fixed to the top plane of the mounting base 13 by threaded connection. The sensor module 10 includes a patch temperature sensor 11 and a piezoresistive pressure sensor 12. The metal detection surfaces of the sensors 10 are all covered with a 0.5mm thick layer of high thermal conductivity silicone grease 14 to accelerate heat conduction. A baffle 15 is bolted to the front of the sensor module 10. The baffle 15 is a 1mm thick 304 stainless steel sheet in the shape of a 45° inclined arc, with its concave surface facing the air inlet of the gas flow channel 30 to uniformly disperse the airflow and eliminate turbulence. The control unit 40 is soldered to the pins of the sensor module 10 via high-temperature resistant wires. The control unit 40 contains an STM32F103 microcontroller, which acquires the resistance of the temperature sensor 11 at 100ms intervals via the I2C bus. The voltage signal from the pressure sensor 12 and the pressure signal are used to perform real-time temperature compensation for the pressure value using a linear regression algorithm. The SF6 gas density value is calculated according to the ideal gas law, and the density data is output to an external monitoring system via an RS485 interface. The side of the housing 20 has an IP67-rated junction box, inside which a shielded twisted-pair cable connects the control unit 40 to an external power supply.

A PID control algorithm maintains the temperature inside the gas flow channel 30 consistent with the SF6 gas ambient temperature.
