Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an intelligent cable connection system connecting a shore power system with a marine power system, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, power is input from shore power system 5 to switchgear 6, and switchgear 6 transmits power to marine power system 9 via cable 7 and cable drum winch 8 to power the vessel. Wherein the cable 7 is wound on the cable drum winch 8, and when power is supplied to the ship, the distance to the ship can be adapted by controlling the cable drum winch 8 to wind and unwind the cable 7. The anti-live disconnect device of the present disclosure may be located in the cable 7.
Fig. 2 illustrates a schematic cross-sectional structure of an anti-electrification disconnection device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Fig. 3 illustrates a schematic cross-sectional view of an anti-charge disconnect device in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the anti-electrification disconnection device may include:
the cable is connected into a whole through the cable socket and the cable plug;
the cable plug comprises a cable main loop plug 2 and a cable control loop plug 1, wherein the length of the cable main loop plug 2 is larger than that of the cable control loop plug 1.
As shown in fig. 2, the cable socket and cable plug may be conductive cores in a cable. During normal operation, the cable plug is completely inserted into the cable socket, so that the cable plug and the cable socket are tightly connected. I.e. the cable 7 is tightly connected to the cable socket by means of a cable plug.
As shown in fig. 2, the left end of the cable where the cable socket is located may be connected to the switch cabinet, the right end (cable socket) of the cable where the cable socket is located may be connected to the left end (cable plug) of the cable where the cable plug is located, and the right end of the cable where the cable plug is located may be connected to the marine electrical system. When the switch cabinet is connected to the left end of the cable where the cable socket is located and is powered, the cable socket is live and by inserting the cable plug into the cable socket, the whole cable 7 can transmit power to the ship's electrical system.
If the length of the cable main loop plug 2 is L1, the length of the cable control loop plug 1 is L2, and L1 needs to be greater than L2, i.e., the depth of insertion of the cable main loop plug 2 into the corresponding cable socket (the distance that the cable main loop plug 2 can move in the cable socket) needs to be greater than the depth of insertion of the cable control loop plug 1 into the corresponding cable socket (the distance that the cable control loop plug 1 can move in the cable socket).
By setting the length of the cable main loop plug 1 to be greater than the length of the cable control loop plug 2, according to the anti-electrification disconnection device of the embodiment of the disclosure, the cable control loop plug 2 is disconnected from a cable socket to trigger the tripping of a circuit breaker from a shore power system to the cable in the disconnection process of the anti-electrification disconnection device of the cable, so that the cable socket is not electrified when the cable main loop plug 1 is disconnected from the cable socket, the occurrence of the accident of electrification disconnection of the cable is avoided, and the emergency disconnection of the passive cable is realized.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the cable may be a cable from the switchgear 6 to the avionics system 9.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in one possible implementation, the cable outlet may comprise a cable main loop outlet 4 and a cable control loop outlet 3.
The cable main loop plug 2 is inserted into the cable main loop socket 4, and the cable control loop plug 1 is inserted into the cable control loop socket 3, so that the cables are connected into a whole.
The cable main loop socket 4 and the cable control loop socket 3 may be jacks, and the diameter of the jacks of the cable main loop socket 4 may be the same as or different from the diameter of the jacks of the cable control loop socket 3, which is not limited in this disclosure. The present disclosure is not limited to the shape of the cable main loop socket 4 and the cable control loop socket 3.
The number of the cable main loop sockets 4 may be the same as the number of the cable main loop plugs 2, and the number of the cable control loop sockets 3 may be the same as the number of the cable control loop plugs 1. The number of cable main loop sockets 4 and the number of cable control loop sockets 3 are not limited in this disclosure.
When the shore power system supplies power to the marine power system, the cable control loop plug 1 of the cable can be inserted into the cable control loop socket 3, and the cable main loop plug 2 can be inserted into the cable main loop socket 4, so that the cable can be used normally.
Fig. 4 shows a block diagram of an anti-live disconnect device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the apparatus may further include: a circuit breaker trip circuit 11 and a first relay 12;
the cable control loop plug 1 can be connected to a circuit breaker 10 via a first relay 12 and a circuit breaker trip loop 11;
the first relay 12 may be used to switch on the breaker trip circuit 11 to trip the breaker 10 when the cable control circuit plug 1 is disconnected from the cable control circuit receptacle 3.
The cable control loop socket 3 can be sequentially connected with the cable control loop plug 1, the first relay 12, the breaker tripping loop 11 and the breaker 10 in series, when the cable control loop plug 1 is disconnected with the cable control loop socket 3, the first relay 12 loses electricity, the normally closed connector of the first relay 12 can be closed, the breaker tripping loop 11 is closed, and the breaker 10 trips, so that the power supply to the cable 7 is disconnected.
It should be noted that the above is merely an example of realizing no electrification when the cable is disconnected, and does not limit the present disclosure in any way. It will be appreciated that other schemes for enabling the un-powered disconnection of the cable may be employed by those skilled in the art.
Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a circuit breaker trip circuit in an anti-live disconnect apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 5, the circuit breaker trip circuit may include: a second relay 13; the second relay 13 may be a voltage relay.
The second relay 13 may send a circuit breaker step-out trip signal to the circuit breaker 10 upon detecting that the voltage is below a threshold. The shore power system can cut off the power supply to the cable in time, and the cable is prevented from being broken by electrification.
Wherein the voltage may refer to a normal operating voltage. The threshold may be preset, for example, the threshold may be set according to an existing relay protection security policy, or the threshold may be set according to the actual scenario statistics, which is not limited by the present disclosure, as long as the threshold may ensure that the breaker is triggered to trip in time before the cable breaks.
When the first relay 12 turns on the breaker trip circuit and the breaker 10 cannot be tripped successfully, the breaker trip circuit 11 can also send a breaker voltage-loss trip signal to the breaker 10 to trip the breaker 10, so that the cable can be doubly ensured to be not broken in a live state.
In one possible implementation, the apparatus may further include: arc extinguishing optical cable element;
the arc suppressing optical cable element is mounted on the cable control loop socket 3.
The arc extinction optical cable element can conduct arc extinction when the cable fails, and thermal damage of a failure point is reduced.
In one possible implementation, the apparatus may further include: a magnet;
the cable socket and the cable plug are attracted through the magnet. The connection tightness of the cable is further improved.
When the cable is externally sent to the end by external force for some reason, and the external force applied to the cable is larger than the separation force of the anti-electrification disconnecting device of the cable (the separation force is related to the permanent magnet attraction force arranged on the anti-electrification disconnecting device and the total friction force of the cable socket and the cable plug), in the process of disconnecting the cable, the cable control loop plug of the anti-electrification disconnecting device is disconnected with the cable control loop socket firstly, and the circuit breaker is tripped when the main loop plug of the cable is disconnected with the main loop socket of the cable again.
Alternatively, after the situation is normal, the power supply to the avionics system can be restored by reconnecting the cable socket and the cable plug. The cable is prevented from being broken by electrification, and post-processing and recovery are facilitated.
