The mode switching mechanism includes a switch connected to the control unit of the control board 220, which may be a micro switch, a dial switch, an electronic switch, or a mechanical switch, etc., for example, the switch trigger indicates an automatic mode, and the non-trigger indicates a manual mode. If the mode switching mechanism is set to the manual mode, the automatic closing module does not automatically close, no matter whether the opening state monitoring mechanism 240 detects that the circuit breaker is in the opening state, the control unit does not automatically control the driving mechanism to push the auxiliary handle 210 to drive the operation handle 110 to close the circuit breaker unit 100, and if the mode switching mechanism is set to the automatic mode, after the opening state monitoring mechanism 240 detects that the circuit breaker is in the opening state, after a certain delay time t1, the control unit automatically controls the driving mechanism to push the auxiliary handle 210 to drive the operation handle 110 to close the circuit breaker unit 100.
This enables the circuit breaker formed by splicing the automatic closing module and the circuit breaker unit 100 of the present invention to be applied to some occasions where it is required to provide stable power supply. For example, in ETC charging portal systems, only if the ETC portal system provides stable power, the no-parking charging system service can be kept online. When the circuit breaker unit 100 is in the open state after fault tripping, in most cases, the line fault (such as lightning strike, wind damage, etc.) is temporary, the insulation performance (insulator and air gap) of the line after the circuit breaker is tripped can be recovered, and a certain delay time t1, is usually greater than 2 seconds, for example, the reclosing can be successful after 10 seconds, which improves the reliability of the power supply of the power system.
Further, in order to improve the safety of automatic circuit breaker switching-on of the automatic switching-on module, permanent faults or faults needing to be solved manually are avoided, the circuit breaker is detected to be in a switching-off state after the automatic circuit breaker switching-on is automatically driven by the automatic switching-on module, the automatic switching-on module is repeated for a certain number of times m, and m is greater than 1, for example, 4 times or 6 times, then the automatic switching-on module enters a self-locking state, automatic switching-on is not needed any more, and manual switching-on is needed after hidden danger is manually relieved. The control unit enters a self-locking state after detecting that the circuit breaker is switched from the closing state to the opening state m times through the opening state monitoring mechanism 240 within a certain fault monitoring time t2, for example, within 60 seconds, and the circuit breaker unit 100 is not automatically closed any more, and m is greater than 1. When the automatic closing module enters the self-locking state, the control unit monitors that the circuit breaker is switched from the opening state to the closing state through the opening state monitoring mechanism 240, and after the closing state lasts for at least a certain self-locking recovery time t3, for example, for 60 seconds, the automatic closing module releases the self-locking state and resumes the automatic closing of the circuit breaker unit 100. m times, delay time t1, fault monitoring time t2 and self-locking recovery time t3 are preset, and can be adjusted according to the needs, and fault monitoring time t2 and self-locking recovery time t3 can be the same or different.
In a specific embodiment, the control unit stores a record of the opening time of each time after detecting that the circuit breaker is switched from the closing state to the opening state by the opening state monitoring mechanism 240.
The control unit acquires the state of the mode switching mechanism, if the mode switching mechanism is in a manual mode, the switching operation is not automatically executed, if the mode switching mechanism is in an automatic mode, the switching time record of the last m switching times is read, the time difference between the last first switching time and the last m switching time is compared with the fault monitoring time t2, if the switching time difference is greater than or equal to the fault monitoring time t2, the control unit waits for the delay time t1, the automatic control driving mechanism pushes the auxiliary handle 210 to drive the operation handle 110 to enable the breaker unit 100 to be switched on, and if the switching time difference is smaller than the fault monitoring time t2, the self-locking state is entered.
If the opening time record is less than m, the control unit automatically controls the driving mechanism to close the circuit breaker unit 100.
When the control unit monitors that the circuit breaker is switched from the opening state to the closing state through the opening state monitoring mechanism 240, whether the automatic closing module belongs to the self-locking state is judged, if the automatic closing module is in the self-locking state, the monitoring duration is started, the circuit breaker is not switched from the closing state to the opening state within the self-locking recovery time t3, and the automatic closing module releases the self-locking state.
The working process of the automatic closing module of the circuit breaker comprises the following steps:
1. manual mode (automatic closing module is pulled to manual state) after the fault such as leakage, overload, short circuit etc. breaks the gate, the breaker unit 100 cannot automatically close.
2. Automatic mode (automatic closing module dials to automatic state, 4 times of continuous closing):
(0) For the first time of network access, the driving mechanism drives the breaker unit 100 to close;
1, the breaking state monitoring mechanism 240 detects that the breaker unit 100 breaks the gate for the first time due to the fault such as leakage, overload, short circuit and the like;
(2) If the fault state is not eliminated, the switching-off state monitoring mechanism 240 detects that the breaker unit 100 is switched off for the second time under the action of the fault signal;
(3) If the fault state is not eliminated, the switching-off state monitoring mechanism 240 detects that the breaker unit 100 is switched off for the third time under the action of the fault signal;
(4) If the fault state is not eliminated, the switching-off state monitoring mechanism 240 detects that the circuit breaker unit 100 is switched off for the fourth time under the action of the fault signal;
(5) After the fourth time of opening, the automatic closing module enters a locking state, and cannot be automatically reclosed, the locking state is unlocked in a manual closing mode, or three times of fault opening occur within 10 minutes, and the automatic closing module also enters the locking state.
3. A power failure occurs:
1, in a closing state, the power is cut off, and the closing is still kept after the power is supplied;
(2) The power is cut off in the opening state:
a. The call is made within 2 minutes, and the original state (normal brake opening and locking brake opening) is kept;
If the power can be turned on within 2 minutes, usually caused by faults of other parts in the circuit, after the faults of other parts are removed, the automatic closing module is restored to the original working state;
b. and the incoming call is more than 2 minutes, and switching on is carried out after the incoming call.
If the power cannot be supplied within 2 minutes, the problem of power supply facilities is solved, the automatic closing module performs closing action after the circuit is normally powered, and misoperation caused by faults of other parts in the circuit can be avoided.
The power supply of the driving part of the circuit breaker is the collected main circuit signal, the main circuit is powered off, namely the product is judged to be powered off, the time of the break point can be calculated through the time stored before the power off and the time difference after the power on, or the power can be supplied to the control unit through a battery in the power off process, and the power off time is counted.
That is, when the power failure occurs in the opening state, the automatic closing is performed after the power failure is performed when the power failure time threshold t4 is larger, and if the power failure time threshold t4 is smaller than or equal to the power failure time threshold t4, the opening state is maintained, and t4 can be set to 2 minutes or other time.
