Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power line carrier communication technology, and in particular to a positioning device for power line carrier communication. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of smart grid construction and the development of the power Internet of Things, power line carrier communication technology has become an important means of data transmission for power equipment due to its advantages such as not requiring additional communication lines and low cost. However, traditional power line carrier communication devices have many limitations: they are mostly single-function communication devices, lacking positioning capabilities. When power equipment malfunctions or malfunctions, maintenance personnel find it difficult to quickly determine the specific location of the equipment, resulting in low fault diagnosis efficiency and affecting the stability and reliability of the power system.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing devices suffer from insufficient adaptability and protection to power lines in their structural design. Some devices are complex to install and cannot be easily connected to power lines of different specifications; they lack effective insulation and sealing structures, making them susceptible to external environmental factors (such as humidity, dust, and electromagnetic interference), leading to unstable signal transmission and even safety hazards such as leakage. In addition, traditional devices have limited signal processing capabilities, making it difficult to effectively filter noise and interference generated during power line transmission. This results in poor data transmission accuracy and anti-interference capabilities, making it difficult to meet the real-time and precise data interaction requirements of smart grids.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3This application will be described in further detail.

[0020] This application discloses a positioning device for power line carrier communication. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The system includes a carrier communication positioning cover, which consists of a carrier communication positioning cover 1 and a carrier communication positioning cover 2. Each of the outer walls at opposite ends of the carrier communication positioning cover 1 and carrier communication positioning cover 2 has a set of fixing holes 4, with screws installed inside the fixing holes 4. A GPS locator 3 is installed in the middle of the outer wall of carrier communication positioning cover 2. Matching connecting pipes 5 are connected to the middle of both ends of carrier communication positioning cover 1 and carrier communication positioning cover 2. The carrier communication positioning cover 1 and carrier communication positioning cover 2 can be quickly connected via the fixing holes 4 and screws to form a closed protective space.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3, one end of the connecting pipe 5 is integrally connected to a threaded pipe 9, and a threaded sealing sleeve 10 is detachably provided on the outside of the threaded pipe 9. The connecting pipe 5 is designed in a semi-circular shape, and fastening edges 7 are fixed to the outer walls of both connecting pipes 5. Bolts 8 are provided on the outer walls of the fastening edges 7, and the two fastening edges 7 are fixed by the bolts 8. The semi-circular design of the connecting pipe 5, combined with the threaded pipe 9 and the threaded sealing sleeve 10, can easily wrap the power line. The fastening edges 7 and the bolts 8 further reinforce the connection, achieving a tight connection between the device and the power line, ensuring efficient and stable installation.

[0022] In this application, the inner wall of the connecting pipe 5 is provided with an insulating gasket 6, which effectively isolates the power line from the metal parts, avoiding the risk of leakage and electromagnetic interference. Power line couplers 11 and filters 12 are respectively installed on both sides of the inner wall of the carrier communication positioning cover 1. A microprocessor 14 is installed at the bottom of the inside of the carrier communication positioning cover 1. A connection port 13 is opened at the center inside the carrier communication positioning cover 1 and the carrier communication positioning cover 2. The power line coupler 11 realizes bidirectional loading and extraction of high-frequency signals and power lines, and works with the filter 12 to filter out noise, making the transmitted signal pure and interference-free. The microprocessor 14, as the core unit, accurately completes signal decoding, modulation, and demodulation, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of data transmission. The GPS locator 3 obtains the device's geographical location in real time and quickly uploads the data through the carrier communication module, enabling the monitoring center to track the device's location in real time, meeting the needs of equipment status monitoring and fault location in the smart grid, and improving the efficiency of power grid operation and maintenance.

[0023] The implementation principle of a positioning device using power line carrier communication according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0024] During installation, carrier communication positioning cover 1 and carrier communication positioning cover 2 are fixed together by fixing holes 4 and screws to form a complete protective cover. The connecting pipes 5 on both sides are detachably connected by threaded pipes 9 and threaded sealing sleeves 10. The semi-circular design allows the two connecting pipes 5 to wrap around the power lines, and is further reinforced by bolts 8 on the fastening edge 7. The insulating gasket 6 on the inner wall ensures good insulation between the power lines and the connecting pipes 5, preventing signal interference and leakage risks.

[0025] During operation, the power line passes through connector 13, and power line coupler 11 loads the high-frequency signal to be transmitted onto the power line while simultaneously extracting the received high-frequency signal from it. Filter 12 filters the signal, removing noise and interference to ensure the purity of the transmitted signal. Microprocessor 14, as the control core, decodes, analyzes, and processes the filtered signal, performing data modulation and demodulation to complete information transmission and reception.

[0026] The GPS locator 3 acquires the device's geographical location information in real time and sends the location data to the monitoring center or other receiving end via the carrier communication module. When the device needs to communicate with external devices, the microprocessor 14 converts the data to be sent into a high-frequency signal, which is then loaded onto the power line via the power line coupler 11 for transmission. During reception, the power line coupler 11 extracts the high-frequency signal from the power line, filters it through the filter 12, and then the microprocessor 14 decodes and restores it to the original data.

[0027] The combined structure of carrier communication positioning cover 1 and carrier communication positioning cover 2 effectively protects the internal electronic components from external environmental influences; the sealed design of the connecting pipe 5 prevents moisture and dust intrusion, ensuring long-term stable operation of the device. The entire device utilizes power lines as the communication medium and combines GPS positioning technology to achieve dual functions of data transmission and location positioning, making it suitable for various application scenarios such as smart grids and remote monitoring.
