Currently, there are significant shortcomings in the industry's status detection and health management solutions for electromagnetic switches. Existing detection methods are prone to misjudgments due to issues such as contact adhesion, failing to accurately identify abnormalities during switch engagement and disengagement. Furthermore, the lack of a systematic analysis and health assessment mechanism for switch operating data makes it difficult to predict the expected lifespan of switches, leading to repairs only after a failure occurs. This results in increased unplanned equipment downtime and fails to meet the automation control requirements for switch status reliability and forward-looking health management, thus hindering the operational efficiency and stability of integrated automation control systems for industrial production processes.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0019] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0020] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a magnetic switch status detection and health management device. First, signal acquisition is performed. The driving voltage of the electromagnetic switch drive circuit 1 to be detected is transmitted to the electromagnetic switch drive voltage detection component 5. The electromagnetic switch drive voltage 51 to be detected is first processed by a single-phase rectifier bridge 52, and then divided by a first high-precision voltage divider resistor 53, a second high-precision voltage divider resistor 55, a third high-precision voltage divider resistor 57, and a fourth high-precision voltage divider resistor 58. During this process, different voltage levels can be selected using the first drive power supply voltage level selection jumper 54 and the second drive power supply voltage level selection jumper 56. The voltage signal after voltage division is transmitted to the first analog quantity detection circuit 510 via the first linear optocoupler 59 and finally fed back to the protection device 3. At the same time, the drive current of the electromagnetic switch drive circuit 1 under test is transmitted to the electromagnetic switch drive current detection component 6. The electromagnetic switch drive current 61 under test is detected by the Hall current sensor 62. The fifth high-precision resistor 63 assists in signal processing. The current signal is transmitted to the second analog quantity detection circuit 65 via the second linear optocoupler 64 and also fed back to the protection device 3. The electromagnetic switch drive switch 4 cooperates to realize the on-off control of the drive circuit.
[0022] Next, the engagement state is determined. When the protection device 3 detects that the driving voltage of the electromagnetic switch drive circuit 1 under test reaches the engagement voltage through the electromagnetic switch drive voltage detection component 5, it immediately monitors the driving current through the electromagnetic switch drive current detection component 6. If the driving current reaches the engagement current value and maintains the engagement for the corresponding time before dropping to the holding current value within a specified time, and at the same time, the electromagnetic switch linkage auxiliary contact 2 is detected to have a corresponding action within a specified time, then the protection device 3 determines that the electromagnetic switch in the electromagnetic switch drive circuit 1 under test is normally engaged. If the driving current does not meet the above change pattern, or the electromagnetic switch linkage auxiliary contact 2 does not have a corresponding action, any failure to meet either condition will be determined as an engagement failure.
[0023] Subsequently, the disconnection status is determined. When the protection device 3 detects that the driving voltage of the electromagnetic switch driving circuit 1 under test drops to the disconnection voltage through the electromagnetic switch driving voltage detection component 5, the driving current is continuously monitored through the electromagnetic switch driving current detection component 6. If the driving current drops to zero within a specified time and the electromagnetic switch linkage auxiliary contact 2 is detected to have a corresponding action within a specified time, the protection device 3 determines that the electromagnetic switch is normally disconnected. If the driving current does not drop to zero within a specified time, or the electromagnetic switch linkage auxiliary contact 2 does not have a corresponding action, and either of these conditions is not met, the disconnection fault is determined.
[0024] Finally, health management is achieved. The protection device 3 stores the pull-in voltage and break-out voltage collected by the electromagnetic switch drive voltage detection component 5 and the pull-in current, holding current, and break-out current collected by the electromagnetic switch drive current detection component 6 during each pull-in and break-out process. Based on these parameters, a mathematical model of the electromagnetic switch under test is established, and the parameter change trend is continuously analyzed. When abnormal parameters are detected or the change trend does not conform to the normal pattern, that is, when it is judged that the health status of the electromagnetic switch has deteriorated, the protection device 3 issues a health warning in a timely manner, providing a basis for subsequent equipment maintenance and component replacement.
[0025] The above description only describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, and all such changes should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
