It should be understood that the following drawings only show certain embodiments of the present application and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope.

[0020] FIG1 shows one of the structural schematic diagrams of an inverter provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0021] FIG2 shows a second structural schematic diagram of an inverter provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application for which protection is claimed, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, each other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] In the prior art, in order to ensure electricity safety, it is necessary to detect whether there is a fault in the relay in the inverter. The fault condition is determined by detecting the voltage on both sides of the relay. However, the voltage on both sides of the relay set on the neutral line and the ground line is continuously zero, so the fault condition of the relay set on the neutral line and the ground line cannot be determined.

[0024] To address the above-mentioned issues, embodiments of the present application provide an inverter. By disposing a dual-contact relay on the power transmission line from the power generation equipment to the power consumption end, when the main contact of the relay actuates, it drives the auxiliary contact to actuate. Thus, by detecting the actuation of the auxiliary contact, it is possible to determine whether the relay is faulty. This solves the technical problem in the prior art where relays on the neutral line and the ground line cannot detect faults, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the safety of the inverter. The specific details are as follows:

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an inverter provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the inverter provided in an embodiment of the present application includes an inverter 101 disposed on an electric energy transmission line from a power generation device 102 to a power consumption end 103. The inverter includes a double-contact relay 1011, wherein the double-contact relay includes: a main contact disposed on the electric energy transmission line; an auxiliary contact linked to the main contact; and an electromagnetic coil for generating a magnetic field when power is applied to drive the main contact to operate, thereby changing the on / off state of the electric energy transmission line and linking the auxiliary contact to operate.

[0026] That is to say, the inverter is used to transmit the electric energy generated by the power generation device to the power-consuming equipment, and a double-contact relay is set in the inverter, and the main contacts are set on the power transmission line from the power generation equipment to the power-consuming end. The main contacts are driven by the electromagnetic coil, so that the auxiliary contacts linked with the main contacts will produce corresponding actions.

[0027] The main contact and the auxiliary contact can perform the same action. For example, if the main contact is a normally closed contact, then when the main contact opens, the auxiliary contact also opens. The main contact and the auxiliary contact can also perform different actions. For example, if the main contact is a normally closed contact, then when the main contact opens, the auxiliary contact closes. In other words, the auxiliary contact will produce a corresponding action when the main contact moves.

[0028] The inverter also includes an identification module, wherein the identification module includes: a first pin, connected to the auxiliary contact; a second pin, connected to the electromagnetic coil, for controlling the power-on state of the electromagnetic coil; wherein the identification module is configured to determine whether the level signal of the auxiliary contact is correct based on the power-on state of the electromagnetic coil, so as to perform fault detection on the double-contact relay.

[0029] That is to say, the second pin is used to control whether the electromagnetic coil is energized, and then the main contact performs an action when the electromagnetic coil is energized, thereby driving the auxiliary contact to act, and then the level signal of the auxiliary contact is determined through the first pin, that is, the corresponding level of the auxiliary contact when the electromagnetic coil is energized or not is determined, thereby determining whether the auxiliary contact performs the corresponding action, so as to determine the state of the relay.

[0030] That is to say, in the event of a relay failure, the main contacts cannot operate accordingly according to the power supply status of the electromagnetic coil, and thus cannot drive the auxiliary contacts to operate, which in turn makes it impossible to change the on and off state of the low-voltage coil connected to the auxiliary contacts, resulting in the level signal of the auxiliary contacts unable to produce corresponding changes, and thus it can be determined whether the relay is faulty.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a second schematic diagram of the structure of an inverter provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the power consumption end includes a mains 1031 and a power consumption device 1032, and the power transmission line includes a first power transmission line and a second power transmission line.

The input end of the power consumption device is used to connect to the preset connection point.

[0032] The inverter connects the output of the power generation device to the input of the mains electricity. A power transmission line is extended from the power transmission line between the output of the power generation device and the input of the mains electricity to connect to the input of the power consumption device, thereby enabling the inverter to transmit the electric energy generated by the power generation device to the mains electricity and the power consumption device. Furthermore, the point where the power transmission line extending from the output of the power generation device to the input of the mains electricity is connected to the power consumption device is designated as a predetermined connection point. The predetermined connection point divides the power transmission line between the output of the power generation device and the input of the mains electricity into a first power transmission line and a second power transmission line.

[0034] That is to say, when there is only the inverter double-contact relay, when the inverter double-contact relay is closed, the electric energy generated by the power generation equipment is transmitted to the mains and the power consumption equipment, and when the inverter double-contact relay is disconnected, the electric energy generated by the power generation equipment cannot be transmitted to the mains and the power consumption equipment; when there is only the grid-connected double-contact relay, when the grid-connected double-contact relay is closed, the electric energy generated by the power generation equipment is transmitted to the mains and the power consumption equipment, and when the grid-connected double-contact relay is disconnected, the electric energy generated by the power generation equipment is only transmitted to the power consumption equipment; when both the inverter double-contact relay and the grid-connected double-contact relay are set, when only the inverter double-contact relay is closed, the electric energy generated by the power generation equipment is only transmitted to the power consumption equipment, so that there is no electric energy transmission on the mains to facilitate maintenance of the mains, and when only the grid-connected double-contact relay is closed, the power generation equipment cannot output electric energy to the mains and the power consumption equipment, and when both the inverter double-contact relay and the grid-connected double-contact relay are closed, the electric energy generated by the power generation equipment is transmitted to the mains and the power consumption equipment.

The positive output pin of the power generating device is connected to the first live wire input pin of the mains power, and the negative output pin of the power generating device is connected to the first neutral wire input pin of the mains power. The first preset connection point is located on the connection line between the positive output pin of the power generating device and the first live wire input pin of the mains power, and the second preset connection point is located on the connection line between the negative output pin of the power generating device and the first neutral wire input pin of the mains power.

[0037] Furthermore, the first power transmission line includes a first live wire power transmission line from the positive output pin of the power generating device to the first preset connection point and a first neutral wire power transmission line from the negative output pin of the power generating device to the second preset connection point, and the second power transmission line includes a second live wire power transmission line from the first preset connection point to the first live wire input pin of the mains and a second neutral wire power transmission line from the second preset connection point to the first neutral wire input pin of the mains.

[0040] The grid-connected double-contact relay K2 includes a first grid-connected double-contact relay K21 and a second grid-connected double-contact relay K22, wherein the first grid-connected double-contact relay is arranged on one of the second live wire power transmission line and the second neutral wire power transmission line, and the second grid-connected double-contact relay is arranged on the other of the second live wire power transmission line and the second neutral wire power transmission line.

[0041] That is, a double-contact relay is provided on each of the first live power transmission line and the first neutral power transmission line, serving as an inverter double-contact relay in the inverter. A double-contact relay is provided on each of the second live power transmission line and the second neutral power transmission line, serving as a grid-connected double-contact relay in the inverter.

[0042] The power transmission line also includes a third power transmission line, which is used to connect the ground wire PE and the ground input pin GND of the electrical equipment. The double-contact relay also includes a ground double-contact relay K3, which is arranged on the third power transmission line.

[0043] Among them, the input end of the electrical equipment also includes a ground input pin, which is used to connect the ground wire. Furthermore, a ground double-contact relay is set on the power transmission line between the ground wire and the ground input pin of the electrical equipment to detect the level signal of the auxiliary contact of the ground double-contact relay to determine the fault condition of the ground double-contact relay.

[0044] The inverter also includes a first connection port, a second connection port, and a third connection port arranged on the packaging shell of the inverter, wherein the first connection port is used to connect to the output end of the power generation equipment, the second connection port is used to connect to the input end of the mains power, and the preset connection point leads to the third connection port for connecting to the input end of the power-consuming equipment.

[0045] Specifically, the first connection port and the second connection port are connected, thereby connecting the output of the power generation device to the input of the mains. A third connection port is connected between the connection line between the first connection port and the second connection port, so that an energy transmission line is connected to the input of the power consumption device through the connection line between the output of the power generation device and the input of the mains. Furthermore, the power generated by the power generation device is transmitted to the power consumption device and the mains through the inverter.

[0046] The first connection port includes a first connection pin and a second connection pin, the first connection pin is used to connect one of the positive output pin and the negative output pin of the power generating device, and the second connection pin is used to connect the other of the positive output pin and the negative output pin of the power generating device.

[0047] That is, the first connection pin and the second connection pin of the first connection port are respectively connected to the positive output pin and the negative output pin of the power generation device, so that the inverter can receive the electric energy generated by the power generation device. The third connection pin and the fourth connection pin of the second connection port are respectively connected to the first live input pin and the first neutral input pin of the mains, so that the mains can receive the electric energy generated by the power generation device.

Since the third connection port is drawn from the connection line between the first connection port and the second connection port, it is necessary to ensure that each pin of the power consumption device is connected to the connection line between the first connection port and the second connection port with the corresponding polarity.

[0048] Exemplarily, the first connection pin 1L of the first connection port is used to connect to the positive output pin of the power generating device, the second connection pin 1N of the first connection port is used to connect to the negative output pin of the power generating device, the third connection pin 2L of the second connection port is used to connect to the first live wire input pin of the AC power, the fourth connection pin 2N of the second connection port is used to connect to the first neutral wire input pin of the AC power, the fifth connection pin 3L of the third connection port is used to connect to the second live wire input pin of the electrical device, the sixth connection pin 3N of the third connection port is used to connect to the second neutral wire input pin of the electrical device, and the seventh connection pin E of the third connection port is used to connect to the ground wire input pin of the electrical device.
