Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wireless communication equipment and communication power supply application technology, specifically a highly reliable dual-power input UPS device for railway tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) in railway tunnels is an important power protection device that plays a vital role in the railway system.

[0003] The communication system inside the tunnel is crucial for train dispatching, passenger information transmission, and emergency communication. UPS provides continuous and stable power to the communication equipment, ensuring uninterrupted communication and guaranteeing the timeliness and accuracy of information transmission.

[0004] Existing UPS such Figure 1 As shown, it includes one AC input port and one battery port. It supports 1-3 output ports. In railway applications, such as... Figure 2 As shown, traditional UPS equipment cannot be connected to the input voltage of a remote power supply box; it can only be connected to the AC power of one power supply box. Once the power supply box fails or the inverter inside the UPS fails, the communication equipment will be unable to supply power, greatly reducing the reliability of the entire communication system and posing a hidden danger to the safe operation of communication equipment in the tunnel.

[0005] Although traditional UPS systems can support dual power inputs, they have certain limitations in practical applications:

[0006] (1) The switching logic is complex:

[0007] The switching logic of traditional UPS systems with dual power inputs can be relatively complex. When the main power supply fails, the UPS needs to quickly switch to the bypass power supply, but this process can be affected by various factors, such as switching time and power fluctuations during the switching process.

[0008] (2) Redundancy backup issue:

[0009] With dual power inputs, redundancy backup can be achieved, but if the two power sources are different, there may be mismatches in parameters such as phase and voltage, which will affect the switching efficiency and stability of the UPS.

[0010] (3) High requirements for equipment:

[0011] To achieve dual power input, the UPS equipment itself needs to possess high performance and stability. Simultaneously, there are certain requirements for the connected load devices, ensuring that the equipment can smoothly switch between different power sources without being affected.

[0012] Due to the limitations of traditional UPS systems, there is a risk to the stability and reliability of communication systems in railway tunnels. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly reliable UPS device with dual inputs specifically designed for railway tunnels. Utility Model Content

Both AC rectifiers and one battery rectifier are connected to a DC / AC inverter. The DC / AC inverter is connected to multiple output ports via an output sampling circuit. Each module is connected to an MCU control unit.

[0015] In a further improvement, the AC rectifier includes a first AC rectifier and a second AC rectifier, with two bypass switches provided between the input port and the output port. The first bypass switch has two input terminals: one connected to the output terminal of the DC / AC inverter and the other connected to the input terminal of the first AC rectifier. The output terminal of the first bypass switch is connected to the output sampling circuit. The second bypass switch has its input terminal connected to the input terminal of the second AC rectifier and its output terminal connected to the output sampling circuit.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] The structure of this utility model is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the system includes three input ports and multiple output ports. The input ports include two AC input ports and one battery input port. Each AC input port has an independent sampling circuit and AC rectifier. The battery input port is connected to the sampling circuit and battery rectifier. Both AC rectifiers and one battery rectifier are connected to a DC / AC inverter. The DC / AC inverter is connected to multiple output ports via an output sampling circuit. Each module is connected to an MCU control unit. The AC rectifier includes a first AC rectifier and a second AC rectifier. Two bypass switches are provided between the input ports and output ports. The first bypass switch has two input terminals: one connected to the output terminal of the DC / AC inverter and the other connected to the input terminal of the first AC rectifier. The output terminal of the first bypass switch is connected to the output sampling circuit. The second bypass switch has its input terminal connected to the input terminal of the second AC rectifier and its output terminal connected to the output sampling circuit.

[0030] This utility model's tunnel-specific UPS supports three input ports: two AC input ports and one battery input port. It supports multiple outputs, with a minimum of three. Each AC input has an independent sampling circuit and rectifier, allowing both AC inputs to operate simultaneously with seamless switching. Failure of any one input has no impact on the output voltage, improving UPS reliability by 30%. It also supports battery inverter output; if both inputs are without voltage, the battery inverter will provide normal AC voltage output. Furthermore, this design incorporates a "fault-oriented safety" mechanism. When the rectifier and inverter fail to support normal output, the MCU control unit automatically controls the bypass switching switches (switch 1 and switch 2 are controlled by a single pin), intelligently guiding the system to a "safe side" bypass state.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, this utility model of a tunnel-specific UPS supports AC power from two remote power supply boxes. A failure in either external power supply will not affect the power supply to the UPS and communication equipment. Furthermore, a failure in any AC inverter circuit within the UPS will not affect the UPS's AC output. This significantly improves the reliability of the UPS and the entire communication system.
