[0056] It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0057] A leakage current detection circuit breaker (LCDI) is a power connection device for electrical appliances that can detect the leakage current of a power cord group through a leakage current detection line, and cut off the power connection of the appliance when a certain leakage current is detected, ensuring safe use. In recent years, in addition to the need to detect the leakage current of the power cord through the leakage current detection line, leakage current detection circuit breakers have also put forward higher safety detection requirements, such as the need to detect whether the leakage current detection line has an open circuit. At present, in the detection and protection device of the power cord, when performing leakage detection and open circuit detection of the leakage current detection line, the leakage current detection line of the power cord is generally connected in series by multiple leakage current detection lines, in series by a return line and the leakage current detection line, or in parallel by multiple leakage current detection lines. The method of constructing the detection path is relatively limited, and the flexibility and safety of the detection are insufficient.

[0058] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a power line detection and protection device, an electrical connection device and an electrical device, which can enrich the feasibility and flexibility of leakage detection and shielding structure open circuit detection of the power line, and is conducive to improving the power supply safety of the power line.

[0059] The embodiments of the present application are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Figure 1 is a block diagram of the module principle of the detection and protection device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a circuit schematic diagram of the detection and protection device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a first embodiment of the present application provides a detection and protection device for a power line, wherein the power line includes a first current-carrying line 110 and a second current-carrying line 120.

[0061] It is understood that when the power line supplies power to an electrical device using two-phase AC power, one of the following two situations can be true: the first current-carrying line 110 is the live wire L, and the second current-carrying line 120 is the neutral wire N; the first current-carrying line 110 is the neutral wire N, and the second current-carrying line 120 is the live wire L. When the power line supplies power to an electrical device using three-phase AC power, one of the following three situations can be true: the first current-carrying line 110 is the live wire L1, and the second current-carrying line 120 is the neutral wire N; the first current-carrying line 110 is the neutral wire N, and the second current-carrying line 120 is the live wire L1; the first current-carrying line 110 is the live wire L1, and the second current-carrying line 120 is the live wire L2. The following uses the case where the first current-carrying line 110 is the live wire L and the second current-carrying line 120 is the neutral wire N as an example for explanation; the remaining situations are similarly applicable.

[0062] The detection and protection device includes a switch module 210, a leakage detection module 220, an open circuit detection module 230 and a trigger module 240, wherein:

[0063] The switch module 210 is used to control the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line; as shown in Figure 2, the switch module 210 is provided with a switch terminal on the first current-carrying line 110 and the second current-carrying line 120. When the switch terminal of the switch module 210 is closed, the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line is connected; when the switch terminal of the switch module 210 is opened, the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line is disconnected.

[0064] The leakage detection module 220 includes a first shielded conductor structure 221 covering the first current-carrying line 110 and a second shielded conductor structure 222 covering the second current-carrying line 120; the first shielded conductor structure 221 is used to collect the leakage signal of the first current-carrying line 110, and the second shielded conductor structure 222 is used to collect the leakage signal of the second current-carrying line 120; the first shielded conductor structure 221 includes a first end a close to the input end of the power line, a second end b close to the output end of the power line, and a third end c located between the first end a and the second end b; the second shielded conductor structure 222 includes a fourth end d close to the input end, a fifth end e close to the output end, and a third end c located between the fourth end d and the fifth end e. The sixth end f; the third end c is connected to the sixth end f; it can be understood that the first shielding conductor structure 221 in the leakage detection module 220 covers the first current-carrying line 110 so that the leakage signal of the first current-carrying line 110 can be collected, and the second shielding conductor structure 222 in the leakage detection module 220 covers the second current-carrying line 120 so that the leakage signal of the second current-carrying line 120 can be collected. On this basis, by connecting the third end c in the middle of the first shielding conductor structure 221 with the sixth end f in the second shielding conductor structure 222, there is a connection point between the shielding conductor structures of the first current-carrying line 110 and the second current-carrying line 120, and the two shielding conductor structures are no longer independent and separate.

[0065] The open circuit detection module 230 is respectively connected to the first end a, the second end b, the fourth end d and the fifth end e. The open circuit detection module 230 is configured to generate an open circuit signal when at least a portion of the first shielding conductor structure 221 and / or the second shielding conductor structure 222 is open circuited. It can be understood that the open circuit detection module 230 is respectively connected to the first end a and the second end b of the first shielding conductor structure 221, the fourth end d and the fifth end e of the second shielding conductor structure 222, so that the open circuit detection module 230 can simultaneously perform open circuit detection on multiple different detection paths, for example, from the first end a of the first shielding conductor structure 221 to the third end c, and then to the sixth end of the second shielding conductor structure 222. f, and finally to the fourth end d of the second shielding conductor structure 222; the detection path from the first end a of the first shielding conductor structure 221 to the third end c, then to the sixth end f of the second shielding conductor structure 222, and finally to the fifth end e of the second shielding conductor structure 222; the detection path from the second end b of the first shielding conductor structure 221 to the third end c, then to the sixth end f of the second shielding conductor structure 222, and finally to the fourth end d of the second shielding conductor structure 222; the detection path from the second end b of the first shielding conductor structure 221 to the third end c, then to the sixth end f of the second shielding conductor structure 222, and finally to the fifth end e of the second shielding conductor structure 222.

[0066] The trigger module 240 includes a third switch unit 241 connected to the open circuit detection module 230 and a fourth switch unit 242 connected to the first shielded conductor structure and / or the second shielded conductor structure. The fourth switch unit 242 is connected to the third switch unit 241 and transmits the leakage signal to the third switch unit 241 when it is turned on. The third switch unit 241 is configured to receive the leakage signal and / or the open circuit signal and drive the switch module 210 to disconnect the power connection in response to the leakage signal and / or the open circuit signal.

[0067] According to the detection and protection device for a power line provided in an embodiment of the present application, the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module can receive an open circuit signal by being directly connected to the open circuit detection module 230. The third switch unit 241 is also indirectly connected through the fourth switch unit 242 so that it can receive a leakage signal when the fourth switch unit 242 is turned on. The third switch unit 241 can drive the switch module to disconnect the power connection when leakage occurs in the first current-carrying line or the second current-carrying line, or when at least a part of the first shielding conductor structure and / or the second shielding conductor structure is open, thereby ensuring the power supply safety of the power line; in the detection and protection device for the power line of this embodiment, the first shielding conductor structure and the second shielding conductor structure formed with multiple detection segments can be combined, so that a shielding network with multiple different detection paths can be constructed, which greatly enriches the feasibility and flexibility of leakage detection and shielding structure open circuit detection of the power line, and is conducive to improving the power supply safety of the power line.

[0068] 2 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the fourth switch unit 242 includes a third transistor Q3 and a fourteenth resistor R14 and a fifteenth resistor R15 connected in series between the first current-carrying line 110 and the second current-carrying line 120. The connection point of the fourteenth resistor R14 and the fifteenth resistor R15 is connected to the base of the third transistor Q3. The emitter of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the first shielding conductor structure and / or the second shielding conductor structure. The collector of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the third switch unit 241. It should be noted that the collector of the third transistor Q3 can be directly connected to the third switch unit 241 or indirectly connected to the third switch unit 241. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the fourth switch unit 242 further includes an eleventh resistor R11. The collector of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the third switch unit 241 via the eleventh resistor R11.

[0069] In this embodiment, the fourteenth resistor R14 and the fifteenth resistor R15 are connected in series between the first current-carrying line 110 and the second current-carrying line 120, and a divided voltage is provided to the base of the third transistor Q3 via the connection point of the fourteenth resistor R14 and the fifteenth resistor R15. When the voltage of the leakage signal received by the emitter of the third transistor Q3 is greater than the divided voltage of the base, the emitter junction of the third transistor Q3 is forward biased and turned on, thereby transmitting the leakage signal to the third switch unit 241 via the collector of the third transistor Q3.

[0070] It can be understood that since the first shielding conductor structure 221 and the second shielding conductor structure 222 have been connected together through the third end c of the first shielding conductor structure 221 and the sixth end f of the second shielding conductor structure 222, when there is no short circuit between the first shielding conductor structure 221, the second shielding conductor structure 222 and the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f, the emitter of the third transistor Q3 only needs to be connected to any point in the first shielding conductor structure 221 and the second shielding conductor structure 222, and the leakage signal detected at any other position of the first shielding conductor structure 221 and the second shielding conductor structure 222 can be transmitted to the emitter of the third transistor Q3.

[0071] In the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the fourth switch unit 242 also includes a third diode D3, the emitter of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the cathode of the third diode D3, and the anode of the third diode D3 is connected to any one of the following: the first end a; the second end b; the third end c; the fourth end d; the fifth end e; and the sixth end f.

[0072] It is understandable that by providing the third diode D3 between the emitter of the third transistor Q3 and the leakage detection module 220 , the leakage signal detected by the leakage detection module 220 can flow unidirectionally to the emitter of the third transistor Q3 .

[0073] In addition, the first end a, the second end b and the third end c are connection points that have been led out on the first shielding conductor structure 221, and the fourth end d, the fifth end e and the sixth end f are connection points that have been led out on the second shielding conductor structure 222. Therefore, the anode of the third diode D3 is connected to any one of the above six ends, which has the advantage of convenient wiring.

[0074] 2 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the open circuit detection module 230 includes a first switch unit 231 and a second switch unit 232 ;

[0075] One end of the first switch unit 231 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 or the second current-carrying line 120, and the other end is connected to the third switch unit 241. The open circuit detection module 230 further includes a first bias unit for providing a switch-on signal to the first switch unit 231. One end of the first bias unit is connected to the first end a, and the other end is connected to the fourth end d.

[0076] One end of the second switch unit 232 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 or the second current-carrying line 120, and the other end is connected to the third switch unit 241. The open circuit detection module 230 also includes a second bias unit for providing a conduction switching signal to the second switch unit 232. One end of the second bias unit is connected to the second end b, and the other end is connected to the fifth end e.

[0077] In this embodiment, since the two ends of the first bias unit are respectively connected to the first end a and the fourth end d, and the first end a and the fourth end d are short-circuited by the portion of the first shielding conductor structure 221 located between the first end a and the third end c, the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f, and the portion of the second shielding conductor structure 222 located between the sixth end f and the fourth end d, the two ends of the first bias unit are short-circuited, and the switch-on signal cannot be provided to the first switch unit 231; similarly, since the two ends of the second bias unit are respectively connected to the second end b and the fifth end e, and the second end b and the fifth end e are short-circuited by the portion of the first shielding conductor structure 221 located between the second end b and the third end c, the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f, and the portion of the second shielding conductor structure 222 located between the sixth end f and the fifth end e, the two ends of the second bias unit are short-circuited, and the switch-on signal cannot be provided to the second switch unit 232.

[0078] 2 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the first bias unit is configured to: when any part of the first shielded conductor structure 221 and the second shielded conductor structure 222 between the first end a and the fourth end d is open-circuited, provide a switch-on signal to the first switch unit 231 to turn on the first switch unit 231, so that the first switch unit 231 sends an open-circuit signal to the third switch unit 241; the second bias unit is configured to: when any part of the first shielded conductor structure 221 and the second shielded conductor structure 222 between the second end b and the fifth end e is open-circuited, provide a switch-on signal to the second switch unit 232 to turn on the second switch unit 232, so that the second switch unit 232 sends an open-circuit signal to the third switch unit 241.

[0079] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when any part of the first shielding conductor structure 221 and the second shielding conductor structure 222 between the first end a and the fourth end d is open-circuited, that is, when the part of the first shielding conductor structure 221 between the first end a and the third end c is open-circuited, or when the part of the second shielding conductor structure 222 between the sixth end f and the fourth end d is open-circuited, the two ends of the first bias unit will no longer be short-circuited, so that a switch-on signal can be provided to the first switch unit 231, so that the first switch unit 231 is turned on and then, under the action of the electric energy provided by the first current-carrying line 110 or the second current-carrying line 120, the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240 is triggered. Similarly, when any part of the first shielded conductor structure 221 and the second shielded conductor structure 222 between the second end b and the fifth end e is open-circuited, that is, when the part of the first shielded conductor structure 221 between the second end b and the third end c is open-circuited, or when the part of the second shielded conductor structure 222 between the sixth end f and the fifth end e is open-circuited, the two ends of the second bias unit will no longer be short-circuited, so that a switch conduction signal can be provided to the second switch unit 232, so that the second switch unit 232 is turned on and then sends an open-circuit signal to the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240 under the action of the electric energy provided by the first current-carrying line 110 or the second current-carrying line 120. It should also be noted that when the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f is disconnected, the first end a and the fourth end d, and the second end b and the fifth end e will no longer be short-circuited, that is, the two ends of the first bias unit and the two ends of the second bias unit will no longer be short-circuited, so that the switch conduction signal can be provided to the first switch unit 231 and the second switch unit 232 at the same time, thereby causing the first switch unit 231 and the second switch unit 232 to simultaneously send an open circuit signal to the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240.

[0080] 2 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the first switch unit 231 includes a first transistor Q1, the first bias unit includes a first resistor R1, and the open circuit detection module 230 further includes a second resistor R2 and a third resistor R3. One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first end a, the emitter of the first transistor Q1, and one end of the second resistor R2. The other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second current-carrying line 120. The other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the fourth end d, the base of the first transistor Q1, and one end of the third resistor R3. The other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110. The collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the third switch unit 241. It is understood that the collector of the first transistor Q1 can be directly connected to the control pin of the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240, or it can be indirectly connected to the control pin of the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the control pin of the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240 via the tenth resistor R10.

[0081] In this embodiment, the two ends of the first resistor R1 are respectively connected to the first end a and the fourth end d, thereby being short-circuited. The first resistor R1 does not bear voltage division, so that the emitter and the base of the first transistor Q1 are equipotential points. The first resistor R1 does not provide a bias voltage to the emitter junction of the first transistor Q1, and the first transistor Q1 cannot be turned on; when the portion of the first shielding conductor structure 221 located between the first end a and the third end c is open, or when the portion of the second shielding conductor structure 222 located between the sixth end f and the fourth end d is open, or when the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f is disconnected, the two ends of the first resistor R1 will no longer be short-circuited and can bear voltage division, thereby providing a bias voltage to the emitter junction of the first transistor Q1 to turn on the first transistor Q1.

[0082] It should be noted that the trigger module 240 shown in FIG2 includes a trip coil Lx and a first diode D1. The end of the second resistor R2 connected to the second current-carrying line 120 is not directly connected to the second current-carrying line 120, but is connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx. It is understood that in other embodiments, the end of the second resistor R2 connected to the second current-carrying line 120 can also be directly connected to the second current-carrying line 120, without being connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx. Similarly, the end of the third resistor R3 connected to the first current-carrying line 110 is not directly connected to the first current-carrying line 110, but is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via the first diode D1. It is understood that in other embodiments, the end of the third resistor R3 connected to the first current-carrying line 110 can also be directly connected to the first current-carrying line 110, without being connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via the first diode D1.

[0083] 2 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the second switch unit 232 includes a second transistor Q2, the second bias unit includes a fourth resistor R4, and the open circuit detection module 230 further includes a fifth resistor R5 and a sixth resistor R6. One end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the second end b, the emitter of the second transistor Q2, and one end of the fifth resistor R5. The other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the second current-carrying line 120. The other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the fifth end e, the base of the second transistor Q2, and one end of the sixth resistor R6. The other end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110. The collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the third switch unit 241. It is understood that the collector of the second transistor Q2 can be directly connected to the control pin of the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240, or can be indirectly connected to the control pin of the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the control pin of the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240 via the tenth resistor R10.

[0084] In this embodiment, the two ends of the fourth resistor R4 are respectively connected to the second end b and the fifth end e, thereby being short-circuited. The fourth resistor R4 does not bear voltage division, so that the emitter and the base of the second transistor Q2 are equipotential points. The fourth resistor R4 does not provide a bias voltage to the emitter junction of the second transistor Q2, and the second transistor Q2 cannot be turned on; when the portion of the first shielding conductor structure 221 located between the second end b and the third end c is open, or when the portion of the second shielding conductor structure 222 located between the sixth end f and the fifth end e is open, or when the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f is disconnected, the two ends of the fourth resistor R4 will no longer be short-circuited and can bear voltage division, thereby providing a bias voltage to the emitter junction of the second transistor Q2 to turn on the second transistor Q2.

[0085] It should be noted that the trigger module 240 shown in FIG2 includes a trip coil Lx and a first diode D1. The end of the fifth resistor R5 connected to the second current-carrying line 120 is not directly connected to the second current-carrying line 120, but is connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx. It is understood that in other embodiments, the end of the fifth resistor R5 connected to the second current-carrying line 120 can also be directly connected to the second current-carrying line 120, without being connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx. Similarly, the end of the sixth resistor R6 connected to the first current-carrying line 110 is not directly connected to the first current-carrying line 110, but is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via the first diode D1. It is understood that in other embodiments, the end of the sixth resistor R6 connected to the first current-carrying line 110 can also be directly connected to the first current-carrying line 110, without being connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via the first diode D1.

[0086] In addition, it can be understood that in the embodiment of FIG. 2 , one end of the second resistor R2 and one end of the fifth resistor R5 are connected together and then connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx, and one end of the third resistor R3 and one end of the sixth resistor R6 are connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via the first diode D1. In some other embodiments, one end of the second resistor R2 and one end of the fifth resistor R5 are connected together and then connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via the trip coil Lx, and one end of the third resistor R3 and one end of the sixth resistor R6 are connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the first diode D1.

[0087] In another embodiment of the present application that is different from the embodiment shown in FIG2 , the open circuit detection module 230 includes a first switch unit 231 and a second switch unit 232 ; the trigger module 240 includes a trip coil Lx and a first diode D1 ;

[0088] One end of the first switch unit 231 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 or the second current-carrying line 120, and the other end is connected to the third switch unit 241. The open circuit detection module 230 also includes a first bias unit for providing a switch-on signal to the first switch unit 231. One end of the first bias unit is connected to the first end a, and the other end is connected to the fifth end e. Specifically, referring to Figure 3, the first switch unit 231 includes a first transistor Q1, the first bias unit includes a first resistor R1, and the first switch unit 231 also includes a second resistor R2 and a third resistor R3, one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx, the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to one end of the first resistor R1, the emitter of the first transistor Q1, and the first end a, the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to one end of the third resistor R3, the base of the first transistor Q1, and the fifth end e, the collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via the first diode D1;

[0089] One end of the second switch unit 232 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 or the second current-carrying line 120, and the other end is connected to the third switch unit 241. The open circuit detection module 230 further includes a second bias unit for providing a conduction switching signal to the second switch unit 232. One end of the second bias unit is connected to the second end b, and the other end is connected to the fourth end d. Specifically, the second switch unit 232 includes a second transistor Q2, the second bias unit includes a fourth resistor R4, and the second switch unit 232 further includes a fifth resistor R5 and a sixth resistor R6. One end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via a trip coil Lx, and the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4, the emitter of the second transistor Q2, and the second end b. The other end of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to one end of the sixth resistor R6, the base of the second transistor Q2, and the fourth end d. The collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the third switch unit 241 in the trigger module 240, and the other end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 via a first diode D1.

[0090] It can be understood that the embodiment shown in Figure 3 has the same principle as the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the difference is that in Figure 3, the two ends of the first resistor R1 are short-circuited by the part of the first shielding conductor structure 221 located between the first end a and the third end c, the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f, and the part of the second shielding conductor structure 222 located between the sixth end f and the fifth end d; the two ends of the fourth resistor R4 are short-circuited by the part of the first shielding conductor structure 221 located between the second end b and the third end c, the connecting conductor between the third end c and the sixth end f, and the part of the second shielding conductor structure 222 located between the sixth end f and the fourth end d.

[0091] In the detection and protection devices provided in some embodiments of the present application, the trigger module 240 further includes a trip coil Lx for generating an electromagnetic force to drive the switch module 210 to disconnect the power connection. The trip coil Lx is connected in series with the third switch unit 241 between the first current-carrying line 110 and the second current-carrying line 120. Specifically, referring to FIG. 2 , the third switch unit 241 includes a thyristor Q4. The trigger module 240 further includes a seventh resistor R7. The control electrode of the thyristor Q4 is respectively connected to one end of the seventh resistor R7, the collector of the third transistor Q3, and the open circuit detection module 230. The other end of the seventh resistor R7 and the cathode of the thyristor Q4 are connected to the first current-carrying line 110. The anode of the thyristor Q4 is connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx.

[0092] It should be noted that the control electrode of the thyristor Q4 can be directly connected to the open circuit detection module 230 to obtain an open circuit signal, or it can be indirectly connected to the open circuit detection module 230. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the trigger module 240 also includes a tenth resistor R10, and the control electrode of the thyristor Q4 is indirectly connected to the open circuit detection module 230 through the tenth resistor R10.

[0093] It should also be noted that when the end of the seventh resistor R7 connected to the control electrode of the thyristor Q4 receives an open circuit signal or a leakage signal, a voltage will be generated across the two ends of the seventh resistor R7 and provided to the base and cathode of the thyristor Q4, that is, a switch-on signal is provided to the thyristor Q4, causing the thyristor Q4 to turn on, thereby energizing the trip coil Lx to generate electromagnetic force to drive the switch module 210 to disconnect the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line.

[0094] 2 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the trigger module 240 further includes a first capacitor C1 connected in parallel with the seventh resistor R7 .

[0095] It can be understood that when the first current-carrying line 110 is the live line L and the second current-carrying line 120 is the neutral line N, even if the end of the seventh resistor R7 connected to the control electrode of the thyristor Q4 receives an open-circuit signal or a leakage signal, the thyristor Q4 needs to be turned on during the negative half cycle of the AC power supply. Therefore, a first capacitor C1 is provided in parallel with the seventh resistor R7. When an open-circuit signal or a leakage signal is received during the positive half cycle of the AC power supply, the first capacitor C1 can be charged, thereby increasing the potential of the control electrode of the thyristor Q4, and the thyristor Q4 can be triggered to turn on during the negative half cycle of the AC power supply.

[0096] 2 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the trigger module 240 further includes a first diode D1 and a second diode D2, the other end of the seventh resistor R7 and the cathode of the thyristor Q4 are connected to the anode of the first diode D1 and the anode of the second diode D2, the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110, and the cathode of the second diode D2 is connected to the connection point between the thyristor Q4 and the trip coil Lx.

[0097] 2 , the detection and protection devices provided in some embodiments of the present application further include a leakage simulation module 250. The leakage simulation module 250 includes a first test switch TEST1. One end of the first test switch TEST1 is connected to the second current-carrying line 120, and the other end is connected to the first shielding conductor structure 221 and / or the second shielding conductor structure 222. Preferably, the other end of the first test switch TEST1 is connected to one of the first end a, the second end b, the third end c, the fourth end d, the fifth end e, and the sixth end f.

[0098] It can be understood that when the first test switch TEST1 is pressed, the first test switch TEST1 connects the second current-carrying line 120 to the first shielding conductor structure 221 or the second shielding conductor structure 222, that is, the leakage signal of the simulated second current-carrying line 120 is transmitted to the first shielding conductor structure 221 or the second shielding conductor structure 222, so as to test whether the leakage detection function of the detection protection device is intact.

[0099] It is also understood that, in the embodiment of FIG2 , one end of the first test switch TEST1 is not directly connected to the second current-carrying line 120, but is connected to the second current-carrying line 120 via the trip coil Lx. In other embodiments, one end of the first test switch TEST1 may also be changed to be directly connected to the second current-carrying line 120.

[0100] In addition, one end of the first test switch TEST1 may also be directly or indirectly connected to the first current-carrying line 110 instead of being connected to the second current-carrying line 120 .

[0101] 3 and 4 , in the detection and protection device provided in some embodiments of the present application, the leakage simulation module 250 further includes an eighth resistor R8 and a ninth resistor R9, the other end of the first test switch TEST1 is respectively connected to one end of the eighth resistor R8 and one end of the ninth resistor R9, and the other end of the eighth resistor R8 and the other end of the ninth resistor R9 are respectively connected to two of the first end a, the second end b, the third end c, the fourth end d, the fifth end e and the sixth end f.

[0102] It is understandable that when the first test switch TEST1 is pressed, the leakage signal of the second current-carrying line 120 can be simulated and transmitted to two positions in the first shielding conductor structure 221 and the second shielding conductor structure 222, thereby testing whether the leakage detection function of the detection protection device is intact.

[0103] Similarly, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 , one end of the first test switch TEST1 may also be directly or indirectly connected to the first current-carrying line 110 instead of being connected to the second current-carrying line 120 .

[0104] 5 , the detection and protection device provided according to some embodiments of the present application further includes a second test switch TEST2, one end of the second test switch TEST2 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110 or the second current-carrying line 120, and the other end is connected to the control pin of the third switch unit 241, that is, connected to the control electrode of the thyristor Q4.

[0105] When the second test switch TEST2 is pressed, the second current-carrying line 120 directly provides a conduction control signal to the control electrode of the thyristor Q4, and the analog trigger module 240 receives a leakage signal or an open circuit signal, thereby testing whether the trigger module 240 and the switch module 210 can work normally.

[0106] In addition, in the embodiments shown in Figures 2 to 5, the detection and protection device further includes an LED indicator unit 260 connected in parallel with the thyristor Q4. The LED indicator unit 260 includes a twelfth resistor R12, a thirteenth resistor R13, and a light-emitting diode LED1 connected in series. The connection point between the thyristor Q4 and the trip coil Lx is connected to one end of the thirteenth resistor R13. The other end of the thirteenth resistor R13 is connected to one end of the twelfth resistor R12. The other end of the twelfth resistor R12 is connected to the anode of the light-emitting diode LED1. The cathode of the light-emitting diode LED1 is connected to the anode of the first diode D1. The cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first current-carrying line 110.

[0107] Furthermore, the detection and protection device also includes a lightning protection unit 270, which includes a first varistor ZR1 disposed between the first current-carrying line 110 and the second current-carrying line 120. The trigger module 240 also includes a second varistor ZR2 connected in parallel with the thyristor Q4. It is understood that a varistor is a resistor device with a nonlinear volt-ampere characteristic, primarily used to clamp voltage when a circuit is subjected to overvoltage, absorbing excess current to protect sensitive components.

[0108] Below, the operation of the detection and protection device provided in the embodiment of the present application under various leakage and open circuit conditions is described using the embodiment shown in FIG2 :

[0109] 1. When the leakage signal of the first current-carrying line 110 is transmitted to the first shielding conductor structure 221:

[0110] After the first shielding conductor structure 221 obtains the leakage signal, the third transistor Q3 is turned on, forming a conductive path of the first current-carrying line 110 - the first shielding conductor structure 221 - the third diode D3 - the third transistor Q3 - the eleventh resistor R11 - the seventh resistor R7 - the second diode D2 - the tripping coil Lx - the second current-carrying line 120;

[0111] The voltage of the control electrode of the thyristor Q4 increases. When the AC power reaches the negative half cycle, that is, the voltage level of the second current-carrying line 120 is greater than the voltage level of the first current-carrying line 110, the thyristor Q4 is turned on, forming a strong current path of the second current-carrying line 120 - tripping coil Lx - thyristor Q4 - first diode D1 - first current-carrying line 110.

[0112] The trip coil Lx generates a strong electromagnetic force, thereby driving the switch module 210 to disconnect the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line.

[0113] 2. When the leakage signal of the second current-carrying line 120 is transmitted to the second shielding conductor structure 222:

[0116] The trip coil Lx generates a strong electromagnetic force, thereby driving the switch module 210 to disconnect the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line.

[0117] 3. When the portion of the first shielding conductor structure 221 between the first end a and the third end c is open:

[0118] The short-circuit path between the first end a and the fourth end d is disconnected, and the two ends of the first resistor R1 are no longer short-circuited; the two ends of the fourth resistor R4 are still short-circuited. As shown by the arrows in FIG6 , the fourth resistor R4 is short-circuited by the conductive path from the second end b to the third end c to the sixth end f to the fifth end e. It should be noted that the conductive path from the second end b to the third end c to the sixth end f to the fourth end d exists simultaneously.

[0119] A conductive path is formed: second current-carrying line 120 - tripping coil Lx - second resistor R2 - first resistor R1 - third resistor R3 - first diode D1 - first current-carrying line 110 ;

[0120] The first transistor Q1 is turned on, and the second transistor Q2 remains turned off; forming a conductive path of the second current-carrying line 120 - tripping coil Lx - second resistor R2 - first transistor Q1 - tenth resistor R10 - seventh resistor R7 - first diode D1 - first current-carrying line 110;

[0121] The voltage of the control electrode of the thyristor Q4 increases. When the AC power reaches the negative half cycle, that is, the voltage level of the second current-carrying line 120 is greater than the voltage level of the first current-carrying line 110, the thyristor Q4 is turned on, forming a strong current path of the second current-carrying line 120 - tripping coil Lx - thyristor Q4 - first diode D1 - first current-carrying line 110.

[0122] The trip coil Lx generates a strong electromagnetic force, thereby driving the switch module 210 to disconnect the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line.

[0123] 4. When the portion of the first shielding conductor structure 221 between the second end b and the third end c is open:

It should be noted that the conductive path from the first end a to the third end c to the sixth end f to the fifth end e exists simultaneously.

[0125] A conductive path is formed: second current-carrying line 120 - tripping coil Lx - fifth resistor R5 - fourth resistor R4 - sixth resistor R6 - first diode D1 - first current-carrying line 110 ;

[0126] The second transistor Q2 is turned on, and the first transistor Q1 remains turned off; forming a conductive path of the second current-carrying line 120 - tripping coil Lx - fifth resistor R5 - second transistor Q2 - tenth resistor R10 - seventh resistor R7 - first diode D1 - first current-carrying line 110;

[0127] The voltage of the control electrode of the thyristor Q4 increases. When the AC power reaches the negative half cycle, that is, the voltage level of the second current-carrying line 120 is greater than the voltage level of the first current-carrying line 110, the thyristor Q4 is turned on, forming a strong current path of the second current-carrying line 120 - tripping coil Lx - thyristor Q4 - first diode D1 - first current-carrying line 110.

[0128] The trip coil Lx generates a strong electromagnetic force, thereby driving the switch module 210 to disconnect the power connection between the input end and the output end of the power line.

[0129] 5. When the connecting conductor between the third terminal c and the sixth terminal f is open:
