Description

一种非接触式电压检测装置、插接结构及方法A non-contact voltage detection device, plug structure and method

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及零火线检测领域,具体涉及一种非接触式电压检测装置、插接结构及方法。The invention relates to the field of zero live wire detection, in particular to a non-contact voltage detection device, a plug-in structure and a method.

背景技术Background technique

随着电子行业的发展,插座的种类也趋于多样化,其中,两孔插座的零火线接线容易混淆,由于正常开关是控制火线,如果接线错误,关上开关只是断了零线,火线依然通电,则容易造成触电事故;同时,有的电器对零火线的接入有要求不能接反,若接反会达不到某些功能,甚至对电器产生危害;因此在插座安装完成、重要电器件使用前以及维修作业时,往往需要对国标两孔插座进行检测。With the development of the electronics industry, the types of sockets also tend to be diversified. Among them, the wiring of the zero and live wires of the two-hole socket is easy to confuse. Since the normal switch is to control the live wire, if the wiring is wrong, turning off the switch will only break the neutral wire, and the live wire is still powered. , it is easy to cause electric shock accidents; at the same time, some electrical appliances require that the connection of the zero and live wires cannot be reversed. Before use and during maintenance operations, it is often necessary to test the national standard two-hole socket.

目前,非接触式可检测电压的装置都是单插头的,新3C强制认证颁布以后,新的国标插座都带有安全保护门,为了安全,在使用时需要同时对两孔内的安全保护门施力才能打开该安全保护门;因此市面上的单插头测电压装置无法插入新国标插座的插孔中,难以检测到有效的电压信号,需要借助一种专用的工具,打开插座安全保护门才能检测到电压,此过程繁琐,费时费力;At present, non-contact voltage detectable devices are all single-plug. After the promulgation of the new 3C compulsory certification, the new national standard sockets are equipped with safety protection doors. The safety protection door can only be opened by applying force; therefore, the single-plug voltage measuring device on the market cannot be inserted into the jack of the new national standard socket, and it is difficult to detect an effective voltage signal. It is necessary to use a special tool to open the safety protection door of the socket. The voltage is detected, this process is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive;

另外,使用测电压装置检测插座时,使用现有的单插头测电压装置,需要轮流插入插座的插孔中,分别测试插座两孔零火线感应信号的状态,人为对比指示状态效果来区分插座的零火线;检测效率低,再加上应用于新国标插座时,单插头测电压装置需要借助专用工具才得以打开安全保护门,无疑操作的繁琐程度进一步增加;In addition, when using the voltage measuring device to detect the socket, the existing single-plug voltage measuring device needs to be inserted into the jack of the socket in turn to test the state of the induction signal of the two holes of the socket respectively, and artificially compare the effect of the indicating state to distinguish the state of the socket. Zero live wire; the detection efficiency is low, and when it is applied to the new national standard socket, the single-plug voltage measuring device needs special tools to open the safety protection door, which undoubtedly further increases the cumbersomeness of the operation;

其次,为维修人员配置的检测装置必须带有自检功能,增加成本,否则,由于单插头测电压装置自身的故障在插入火线孔中而没有响应的提醒,使作业人员误以为此孔接的是零线,导致严重的安全隐患。Secondly, the detection device configured for the maintenance personnel must have a self-test function, which increases the cost. Otherwise, due to the failure of the single-plug voltage measuring device itself, there is no response reminder when it is inserted into the live wire hole, so that the operator mistakenly thinks that the hole connected is the zero line, causing serious safety hazards.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

实施例,参见图1至图4本实施例提供的一种非接触式电压检测装置,包括:壳体1、设置在该壳体1上的信号提示模组以及设置在该壳体1内的检测识别电路;所述壳体1的前端固定有绝缘保护座3,该绝缘保护座3上设有用于顶开插座安全防护门并伸入插座插孔中的第一插头31、第二插头32;于所述第一插头31中固定有第一天线,所述第一天线与所述检测识别电路的输入端连接;所述信号提示模组与所述检测识别电路的输出端连接。Embodiment, refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 A non-contact voltage detection device provided in this embodiment includes: a housing 1, a signal prompt module arranged on the housing 1 and a Detection and identification circuit; the front end of the housing 1 is fixed with an insulating protection seat 3, and the insulating protection seat 3 is provided with a first plug 31 and a second plug 32 for opening the socket safety protection door and extending into the socket jack ; A first antenna is fixed in the first plug 31, and the first antenna is connected to the input end of the detection and identification circuit; the signal prompt module is connected to the output end of the detection and identification circuit.

具体地,该第一插头31、第二插头32是相互独立的,根据安全防护门的打开原理,设置有该第二插头32,使得在检测时,能通过第一插头31、第二插头32协力顶开安全防护门,使得第一天线能更加靠近插座中的带电体,保证测量准确性,且无需借助本装置外的其他工具,针对新国标插座的检测流程简便,省时省力;另外,针对没有安全防护门的插座,由于插座本来就具有两个插孔,本装置同样能适用,能满足广大客户的使用需求,易于普及。Specifically, the first plug 31 and the second plug 32 are independent of each other, and according to the opening principle of the safety protection door, the second plug 32 is provided so that during detection, the first plug 31 and the second plug 32 can be passed. Work together to open the safety protection door, so that the first antenna can be closer to the charged body in the socket, ensuring measurement accuracy, and without using other tools outside the device, the detection process for the new national standard socket is simple, time-saving and labor-saving; In addition, For sockets without a safety protection door, since the socket originally has two jacks, the device is also applicable, can meet the needs of customers, and is easy to popularize.

所述检测识别电路包括依次连接的第一模数转换器、微控制单元2;所述第一天线连接到该第一模数转换器的输入端,所述信号提示模组与所述微控制单元2的输出端连接。The detection and identification circuit includes a first analog-to-digital converter and a micro-control unit 2 connected in sequence; the first antenna is connected to the input of the first analog-to-digital converter, and the signal prompt module and the micro-controller The output of unit 2 is connected.

具体地,第一天线探测到电压信号输送到该第一模数转换器,通过第一模数转换器将第一天线探测到的电压信号实施模数转换,再输送至微控制单元2;微控制单元2根据输入的电压信号控制信号提示模组作出相应的反馈。Specifically, the voltage signal detected by the first antenna is sent to the first analog-to-digital converter, and the voltage signal detected by the first antenna is converted to analog-to-digital by the first analog-to-digital converter, and then sent to the micro control unit 2; The control unit 2 prompts the module to make corresponding feedback according to the control signal of the input voltage signal.

所述第二插头32中固定有第二天线;所述信号转换单元还包括第二模数转换器,所述第二模数转换器连接至所述微控制单元2;所述第二天线连接至所述第二模数转换器的输入端。A second antenna is fixed in the second plug 32; the signal conversion unit also includes a second analog-to-digital converter, and the second analog-to-digital converter is connected to the micro control unit 2; the second antenna is connected to to the input of the second ADC.

具体地,通过第二天线的设置,配合第一天线可同时检测到插座火线端、零线端的测量数据,一是在检测插座是否存在异常时,无需像常规的只有单插头的测电压装置,至少进行两次测量才能获得火线端和零线端信号;二是通过第一天线、第二天线同时测量,即使使用者疏忽大意,在没有给本装置上电或是本系统的供电电源发生故障等情况下直接用于测量,本装置只是不能正常运行,不能通过信号提示模组给使用者反馈;不会因没有反馈而给使用者带来例如此插座开线开路等误导,极大程度上减少了安全隐患,因此相对于常规的测电笔,本装置无需配置自检功能也能保证不误导维修人员,且解决了常规测电笔的安全隐患问题。Specifically, through the setting of the second antenna, in conjunction with the first antenna, the measurement data of the live wire end and the neutral wire end of the socket can be detected at the same time. First, when detecting whether there is an abnormality in the socket, there is no need for a conventional voltage measuring device with only a single plug. At least two measurements are required to obtain the live and neutral signals; the second is to measure simultaneously through the first antenna and the second antenna, even if the user is negligent, if the device is not powered on or the power supply of the system fails If it is directly used for measurement under such circumstances, the device just cannot operate normally, and cannot give feedback to the user through the signal prompt module; it will not cause misleading to the user such as the open circuit of the socket due to no feedback, to a great extent Potential safety hazards are reduced. Therefore, compared with conventional electric measuring pens, this device does not need to be configured with a self-check function to ensure that maintenance personnel are not misled, and solves the potential safety hazards of conventional electric measuring pens.

且本装置一次测量便可获得火线端、零线端的电压信号,效率高,并通过信号提示模组进行反馈,使用者根据反馈获得测量结果,使得测量过程方便快捷,省时省力。Moreover, the device can obtain the voltage signals of the live wire end and the neutral wire end in one measurement, with high efficiency, and feedback is given through the signal prompt module, and the user obtains the measurement result according to the feedback, making the measurement process convenient and quick, saving time and effort.

所述信号提示模组包括火线状态指示灯41和零线状态指示灯42;所述火线状态指示灯41、零线状态指示灯42固定在所述壳体1上并与所述微控制单元2连接。The signal prompt module includes a live wire status indicator light 41 and a neutral wire status indicator light 42; connect.

所述火线状态指示灯41内包括第一发光二极管,所述零线状态指示灯42内包括第二发光二极管;所述第一发光二极管、第二发光二极管分别连接至所述微控制单元2的第一输出端、第二输出端。The live wire status indicator light 41 includes a first light emitting diode, and the neutral line status indicator light 42 includes a second light emitting diode; the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode are respectively connected to the micro control unit 2 The first output terminal and the second output terminal.

所述火线状态指示灯41、零线状态指示灯42内分别还包括第三发光二极管、第四发光二极管;该第三发光二极管、第四发光二极管分别与所述微控制单元2的第三输出端、第四输出端连接;所述第一发光二极管、第二发光二极管为红光发光二极管,所述第三发光二极管、第四发光二极管为绿光发光二极管。The live wire state indicator light 41 and the zero line state indicator light 42 also include a third light emitting diode and a fourth light emitting diode respectively; terminal and the fourth output terminal; the first light-emitting diode and the second light-emitting diode are red light-emitting diodes, and the third light-emitting diode and the fourth light-emitting diode are green light-emitting diodes.

具体地,通过第一天线、第二天线的设置,可同时对插座的左、右侧插孔进行测量,再通过第一模数转换器、第二模数转换器的设置,可同时对第一天线、第二天线测量获得的火线端测量信号、零线端测量信号同时转换为数字信号并输送给微控制单元2,且该过程互不干扰,测量结果的准确性得以保证;Specifically, through the setting of the first antenna and the second antenna, the left and right jacks of the socket can be measured at the same time, and then through the setting of the first analog-to-digital converter and the second analog-to-digital converter, the second analog-to-digital converter can be measured at the same time The measurement signals of the live wire end and the neutral wire end measured by the first antenna and the second antenna are simultaneously converted into digital signals and sent to the micro control unit 2, and the process does not interfere with each other, and the accuracy of the measurement results is guaranteed;

其中,微控制单元2种预设有基准门限,当第一天线测量到存在高于所述基准门限的电压信号时,微控制单元2判断第一天线测量目标为火线,并控制第一发光二极管点亮,则火线状态指示灯41亮红光;Wherein, the micro-control unit 2 is preset with a reference threshold, and when the first antenna measures a voltage signal higher than the reference threshold, the micro-control unit 2 judges that the measurement target of the first antenna is the live wire, and controls the first light-emitting diode If it is on, the live wire status indicator light 41 will be bright red;

当第二天线测量到存在高于所述基准门限的电压信号时,微控制单元2判断第二天线测量目标为火线,并控制第二发光二极管点亮,则零线状态指示灯42亮红光;When the second antenna measures a voltage signal higher than the reference threshold, the micro-control unit 2 judges that the measurement target of the second antenna is the live wire, and controls the second light-emitting diode to light up, and then the zero-line status indicator light 42 lights up red. ;

维修人员可根据火线状态指示灯41、零线状态指示灯42的状态进一步判断插座哪一端存在危险电压,进而确定火线是否开路、零线是否开路、线路接线是否异常。Maintenance personnel can further judge which end of the socket has dangerous voltage according to the state of the live wire status indicator light 41 and the neutral line status indicator light 42, and then determine whether the live wire is open circuit, whether the neutral line is open circuit, and whether the line connection is abnormal.

另外,该基准门限根据不同国家地区的电压标准设置,是一个准确的数值,在一种优选的实施方式中,预设有多个基准门限,在获取经模数转换器转换后的火线端测量信号、零线端测量信号前,先根据工作人员所在国家地区选取合适的基准门限;基准门限的设置原理为:国标的插座在相当于交变电源,其四周行成一交变电场,将天线伸入交变电场中,便能感应出相应的交变电压;但同时由于环境等因素,受到其他如非测试目标电场等干扰,产生误导信号,但在测试时,将天线插进插座插孔中,受到插座外壳的保护,便能将干扰信号降至最低,因此,设置一个基准门限,当测试信号小于基准门限时,视为干扰信号,该信号不传递到下一步,则不影响后续的判断;若没有设置基准门限,任由干扰信号继续传递,则会干扰后续的判断带来严重的安全隐患。In addition, the reference threshold is set according to the voltage standards of different countries and regions, and is an accurate value. In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple reference thresholds preset, and the measurement at the live wire end obtained after conversion by the analog-to-digital converter Before measuring the signal at the signal and neutral terminals, first select the appropriate reference threshold according to the country and region where the staff is located; the setting principle of the reference threshold is: the national standard socket is equivalent to an alternating power supply, and an alternating electric field is formed around it, and the antenna is extended Into the alternating electric field, the corresponding alternating voltage can be induced; but at the same time, due to environmental factors, other interference such as non-test target electric fields, etc., produce misleading signals, but when testing, insert the antenna into the socket jack , protected by the socket shell, the interference signal can be minimized. Therefore, a reference threshold is set. When the test signal is smaller than the reference threshold, it is regarded as an interference signal. If the signal is not passed to the next step, it will not affect the subsequent judgment. ; If the reference threshold is not set and the interference signal is allowed to continue to be transmitted, it will interfere with subsequent judgments and cause serious security risks.

所述信号提示模组还包括设置在所述壳体1内的蜂鸣器;所述蜂鸣器通过NPN型三极管与所述零火线检测识别装置的第三输出端连接;该NPN型三极管的发射级接地,且其集电极、基极分别与所述蜂鸣器、微控制单元2的第五输出端连接。The signal prompt module also includes a buzzer arranged in the housing 1; the buzzer is connected to the third output end of the zero live wire detection and identification device through an NPN transistor; the NPN transistor The emitter stage is grounded, and its collector and base are respectively connected to the buzzer and the fifth output terminal of the microcontroller unit 2 .
