Embodiment
Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explain the present invention, is not intended to limit the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 1, earth leakage protecting method the first embodiment of the present invention is proposed, described earth leakage protecting method may further comprise the steps:
Residual current in step S101, the induction module loop inductance and be converted into current signal after pass to signal processing module.
Induction module in the present embodiment is preferably by the electric current between zero line in the zero sequence current mutual inductor loop inductance and the live wire, the electric leakage if the loop is short-circuited, electric current between zero live wire will be uneven, and zero sequence current mutual inductor can be responded to unbalanced electric current, also be residual current, and secondary this current signal passed to signal processing module by it.
Step S102, described signal processing module compare the residual current in the described current signal and preset value, and pass to main control module after according to comparative result described current signal being converted into corresponding voltage signal.
Among this step S102, the real-time sensed current signal of signal processing module and received current signal.
Further, this step S102 is specifically as shown in Figure 2:
Step S201, described signal processing module compare the residual current in the described current signal and preset value.
The current value that preset value among this step S201 is namely preset, common 10 ~ 15mA is lower than the residual current of preset value to human-body safety, can not work the mischief.
If the described residual current of step S202 less than preset value, then is converted into this current signal low level signal and passes to main control module.
If the described residual current of step S203 more than or equal to preset value, then is converted into this current signal high level signal and passes to main control module.
Signal processing module compares judgement to current signal, sends corresponding voltage signal according to comparative result to main control module, i.e. high level signal or low level signal.

Step 301, described main control module receive described low level signal, then ignore this low level signal and do not respond.
If the voltage signal that main control module receives is low level signal, residual current then is described less than or equal to preset value, to human-body safety.Therefore main control module is ignored this low level signal and is not responded, and prevents that main control module from affecting the user to the normal use of electrical equipment to normal residual current misoperation.
Step S302, described main control module receive described high level signal, then control electric loading deenergization.
If the voltage signal that main control module receives is high level signal, residual current then is described more than or equal to preset value, can cause the human electric shock, so main control module is with regard to control electric loading such as compressor, calandria and fan deenergization, with the protection human-body safety.
As seen; the earth leakage protecting method of the present embodiment; by detecting the residual current in the loop; and the fail safe of residual current judged; take again corresponding protection operation; on the one hand prevent electrical leakage and human body is damaged, prevent on the other hand that normal residual current from appearring in the loop and misoperation affect the user to the normal use of electrical equipment, thus safe and reliable.

Therefore, the earth leakage protecting method of the present embodiment not only can cut off when adventurous residual current with the power supply of electric loading with the protection user security, can also the reminder alarm user, allow the existence of intuitively perception danger of user.
Referring to Fig. 5-earth leakage protective device the first embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 6, described earth leakage protective device 100 comprises induction module 110, signal processing module 120 and main control module 130.
Induction module 110: the residual current and the delivered current signal that are used for loop inductance.The induction module 110 preferred zero sequence current mutual inductors of the present embodiment, the zero line N and the live wire L that draw from power supply 160 in the loop pass described zero sequence current mutual inductor sense in the same direction, electric current in its loop inductance between zero line N and the live wire L, the electric leakage if the loop is short-circuited, electric current between zero live wire will be uneven, and zero sequence current mutual inductor can be responded to unbalanced electric current, also is residual current, and secondary this current signal is passed to signal processing module 120 by it.
Signal processing module 120: be used for detecting in real time and the received current signal, the residual current in the described current signal and preset value are compared, and pass to main control module 130 after according to comparative result described current signal being converted into corresponding voltage signal.The current value that preset value in the present embodiment is namely preset, common 10 ~ 15mA is lower than the residual current of preset value to human-body safety, can not damage.Specifically, if described residual current, illustrates that this residual current has harm to human body more than or equal to preset value, then this current signal is converted into high level signal and passes to main control module 130; If described residual current, illustrates this residual current less than preset value to human-body safety, then this current signal is converted into low level signal and passes to main control module 130.
Main control module 130: be used for receiving described voltage signal and take corresponding protection operation.The main control module 130 of the present embodiment comprises microprocessor, signal deteching circuit, load driving circuits and on-off controller 131.Wherein signal deteching circuit for detection of and the receiver voltage signal; Load driving circuits is used for driving with electric loading 150 such as runnings such as compressor, fan and calandrias; On-off controller 131 is used for control with the cut-offfing of electric loading 150 power supplys, and it comprises relay and contactor; Microprocessor is communicated with or disconnects the power supply of usefulness electric loading 150 then for the treatment of the signal and control signal testing circuit, load driving circuits and the on-off controller etc. that receive such as control switch controller 131.Concrete, if main control module 130 is received high level signal, residual current then is described more than or equal to preset value, can cause the human electric shock, therefore main control module 130 disconnects with the power supply of electric loading 150 such as compressor, calandria and fan, with the protection human-body safety with regard to control switch controller 131; If main control module 130 is received low level signal, illustrate that then residual current is less than or equal to preset value, to human-body safety, so main control module 130 ignores this low level signal and do not respond, and prevents that main control module 130 from affecting the user to the normal use of electrical equipment to normal residual current misoperation.
As seen; the earth leakage protective device 100 of the present embodiment; by the residual current in the induction module 110 detection loops; and send different voltage signal according to the size of residual current to main control module 130 through signal processing module 120; main control module 130 is taked corresponding protection operation according to different voltage signals; one side prevents electrical leakage and human body is damaged; prevent on the other hand the loop from normal residual current occurring and misoperation affects the user to the normal use of electrical equipment, therefore safe and reliable.
In conjunction with the second embodiment referring to Fig. 6, earth leakage protective device of the present invention shown in Figure 7; the difference of the present embodiment and the first embodiment is to have increased alarm module 140, and this alarm module 140 can be man-machine interface, voice module or indicating lamp module etc.When main control module 130 disconnects with behind the power supply of electric loading 150, can send information warning to alarm module 140, this information warning can be Word message, image information, voice messaging or current signal etc., for example man-machine interface shows that corresponding literal or image are with the reminder alarm user after receiving Word message or image information, perhaps voice module sends voice with the reminder alarm user after receiving voice messaging, and flashing was with the reminder alarm user after perhaps indicating lamp module received current signal.
Thereby the earth leakage protective device 100 of the present embodiment not only can cut off when adventurous residual current with the power supply of electric loading 150 with the protection user security, can also the reminder alarm user, allow the existence of intuitively perception danger of user.
