[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a high-voltage measurement opto-isolation device includes: a high-voltage side interface module 1 for connecting to the high-voltage circuit under test; an opto-isolation module 2 electrically connected to the high-voltage side interface module 1, including at least one optocoupler isolation device, which achieves electrical isolation between the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side through electro-optical-electro-electric conversion; a low-voltage side interface module 3 connected to the output terminal of the opto-isolation module 2 for outputting the isolated low-voltage signal; and a signal processing unit 4 connected to the low-voltage side interface module 3 for amplifying and filtering the isolated signal. This invention achieves electrical isolation between high and low voltage through the opto-isolation module 2, preventing high voltage from entering the low-voltage circuit and ensuring equipment and personnel safety. The signal processing unit 4 amplifies and filters the isolated signal, improving measurement accuracy and anti-interference capability.

[0020] The high-voltage side interface module 1 connects to the high-voltage circuit under test via high-voltage resistant terminals or plugs. The voltage range of the high-voltage circuit under test is AC / DC 0-3.6kV. The low-voltage side interface module 3 outputs an isolated low-voltage signal via a BNC interface or terminal block. The high-voltage resistant terminals or plugs ensure a stable connection of the high-voltage circuit, preventing breakdown and arcing, while the BNC interface or terminal block simplifies the low-voltage signal output, adapts to various measuring devices, and improves compatibility.

[0021] The optocoupler isolation device is a high-speed optocoupler with a response time of less than or equal to 5ms and an operating frequency range of 50Hz to 1kHz. Its fast response and high-frequency adaptability meet the needs of dynamic high-voltage measurement, such as power system harmonic detection, ensuring real-time performance and accuracy. Moreover, by limiting the high-speed optocoupler and the specific frequency range, it ensures that the device can still measure accurately under rapidly changing electrical signals (such as 1kHz) and avoid signal delay.

[0022] The insulating layer of the opto-isolation module 2 is made of polyimide material with a withstand voltage rating greater than or equal to AC / DC 4kV, and the creepage distance between layers is greater than or equal to 8mm. The use of high-voltage-resistant materials and increased creepage distance enhances insulation performance, prevents high-voltage breakdown or leakage current, and improves the long-term reliability of the opto-isolation module 2.

[0023] This invention also includes a noise suppression circuit, which is integrated into the low-voltage side interface module 3. The noise suppression circuit includes at least one low-pass filter capacitor 5 and a common-mode choke 6, which can effectively suppress common-mode noise and electromagnetic interference, improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and ensure the purity and stability of the signal output from the low-voltage side.

[0024] A transient voltage suppression diode 7 is installed between the high-voltage side interface module 1 and the opto-isolation module 2 to absorb transient overvoltages in the high-voltage circuit. The transient voltage suppression diode 7 (TVS) absorbs transient overvoltages (such as lightning strikes and switching surges), protects the optocoupler isolation device from damage, and enhances the device's shock resistance.

[0025] The signal processing unit 4 includes an operational amplifier 8 with an adjustable gain range of 10 to 100 times and an integrated temperature compensation circuit. The adjustable gain adapts to the high-voltage measurement requirements of different ranges, and the temperature compensation eliminates signal offset caused by changes in ambient temperature, ensuring measurement consistency.

[0026] The temperature compensation circuit can be implemented using two methods: thermistor feedback and digital compensation, as detailed below:

[0027] Method 1: Embed a thermistor in the feedback loop of operational amplifier 8. Its resistance changes with temperature. For example, when the temperature rises, the resistance of the thermistor decreases, automatically reducing the feedback resistance value and maintaining a constant gain.

[0028] Method 2: Collect ambient temperature through a temperature sensor, and dynamically adjust the parameters of operational amplifier 8 by the microcontroller, such as PWM control gain.

[0029] The outer shell 9 of the opto-isolation device is made of flame-retardant V-0 grade engineering plastic. The flame-retardant outer shell 9 can prevent fire risk, and the internal potting silicone insulating material is cured to enhance internal insulation and moisture resistance, ensuring the safety of the device in harsh environments.

[0030] This utility model also has the following advantages:

[0031] 1) High-voltage safety isolation: Optical isolation devices (electric-optical-electric conversion) and voltage-resistant insulation materials are used to achieve complete isolation between the AC / DC 3.6kV high-voltage side and the low-voltage side, avoiding the risk of electrical fault conduction;

[0032] 2) Dynamic performance optimization: High-speed optocouplers (≤5ms) and adjustable gain operational amplifiers support high-precision measurement with wide frequency range (50Hz-1kHz) and multiple ranges to meet the needs of complex working conditions;

[0033] 3) Anti-interference and stability: Integrated noise suppression, transient voltage suppression and temperature compensation functions significantly reduce the impact of noise, surge and temperature drift, ensuring pure and stable signal;

[0034] 4) Environmental adaptability: The flame-retardant shell and silicone potting structure enhance the durability and safety of the opto-isolation device in harsh environments such as high temperature and humidity.

[0035] In summary, the opto-isolation device of this invention combines high safety, strong anti-interference capability, fast response, and wide applicability, and can be widely used in high-voltage measurement scenarios such as power systems and industrial equipment, significantly reducing equipment damage and personal safety risks.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
