Example one
Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a power line leakage detection protection device according to the present invention. In this example, the power line leakage detection protection device includes a switch module 103, a leakage detection module 104, a test module 105, a detection monitor module 106, and a drive module 107. As shown in fig. 2, the switch module 103 includes a RESET switch RESET for controlling the power connection between the input LINE and the output LOAD of the power LINE. The power supply line comprises a first current carrying line 11 (HOT, live), a second current carrying line 12 (neutral) and a third current carrying line 13 (GND, ground). The leakage detection module 104 includes at least a first leakage detection line 141 and a second leakage detection line 142. The first drain detection line 141 wraps the first current carrying line 11, and the second drain detection line 142 wraps the second current carrying line 12. In this embodiment, a first end of each of the first and second leakage detection lines 141 and 142 is an end remote from the LOAD, which is located on the left side in fig. 2; the second end is the end near the LOAD, to the right in fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 2, the first and second leakage detection lines 141 and 142 are connected in series. The first end of the second leakage detection line 142 is connected to one end of a resistor R5 of the detection monitoring module 106, forming a connection point a, and the other end of the resistor R5 is connected to the first current line 11. The first end of the first leakage detection line 141 is connected to one end of a resistor R6 of the detection monitor module 106 via the TEST module 105 (e.g., a TEST switch TEST), and the other end of the resistor R6 is connected to the cathode of the thyristor SCR of the driving module 107, one end of the capacitor C2, and anodes of the diodes D1 and D2. In the driving module 107, one end of a voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 is connected to a connection point a through a resistor R2, and the other end of the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 is connected to a control electrode of a silicon controlled rectifier SCR; both ends of the capacitor C2 are respectively connected to the control electrode and the cathode of the SCR. The cathode of the SCR is also connected to the anodes of diodes D1 and D2, the anode of which is connected to the cathode of diode D2 and to one end of the solenoid SOL. The other end of the solenoid SOL is connected to the second current line 12 and to the RESET switch RESET. The cathode of the diode D1 is connected to the first current line 11 and to the RESET switch RESET.
When both the first and second leakage detection lines 141, 142 are operating normally (not open), the current of the first current carrying line 11 flows through the resistor R5-second leakage detection line 142-first leakage detection line 141-TEST switch-resistor R6-capacitor D2-solenoid SOL to the loop of the second current carrying line 12. By setting the resistance values of the resistors R5 and R6, the voltage of the point A is lower than the threshold voltage of the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1, so that the voltage of the SCR control electrode is limited to be extremely low, and the SCR is ensured not to trigger the false tripping of the power line leakage detection protection device. At this time, the switch module 103 is in a closed state, and the product is normally electrified for use.
When the first current carrying wire 11 generates a leakage current signal (first leakage current signal) or the second current carrying wire 12 generates a leakage current signal (second leakage current signal), the potential at the point a rises, and the current triggers the SCR to be conducted through the first current carrying wire 11, the first leakage detecting wire 141, the second leakage detecting wire 142 and the resistor R2, the voltage regulator tube ZD1, a larger current is generated on the solenoid SOL, a magnetic field with enough size is formed, the RESET switch RESET of the switch module 103 is driven to trip, and then the power connection between the input end LINE and the output end LOAD is cut off. Thus, the device can independently detect leakage current signals on the first current carrying line 11 and the second current carrying line 12.
When the first leakage detection LINE 141 or the second leakage detection LINE 142 is opened or closed, the resistor R6 loses the voltage division function, the potential at the point a rises, the current triggers the SCR to be turned on through the first current-carrying LINE 11-resistor R5-resistor R2-regulator ZD1, the solenoid SOL drives the RESET switch RESET of the switch module 103 to trip, and then the power connection between the input end LINE and the output end LOAD is cut off. Accordingly, the apparatus can independently detect whether the first and second leakage detection lines 141 and 142 fail.
Other modules of the power line leakage detection protection device may also be tested for faults by the test module 105. In this embodiment, when all the elements of the device work normally and no leakage occurs between the first leakage detection line 141 and the first current carrying line 11 and between the second leakage detection line 142 and the second current carrying line 12, the voltage regulator tube ZD1 cannot trigger the SCR to conduct, and the product works normally.
When the TEST switch TEST is pressed down to disconnect the TEST switch TEST, the resistor R6 loses the voltage dividing function, the potential at the point a rises, the current triggers the silicon controlled rectifier SCR to be conducted through the first current LINE 11-resistor R5-resistor R2-voltage stabilizing tube ZD1, the RESET switch RESET of the solenoid SOL driving switch module 103 is tripped, and then the electric connection between the input end LINE and the output end LOAD is cut off. Thus, the user can detect whether the protection device is intact by operating the TEST switch TEST.
Example two
Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a second example of the power line leakage detection protection device according to the present invention. Compared to the embodiment of fig. 2, the difference is mainly that one end of the resistor R3 of the detection monitoring module 106 is connected to the first current carrying line 11 by the connection full-bridge rectifying unit DB, and the other end of the resistor R3 is connected to the first end of the first leakage detection line 141 by the connection testing module 105 (e.g., the TEST switch TEST); the first end of the second leakage detection line 142 connected in series with the first leakage detection line 141 is connected to one end of a resistor R2 of the detection monitoring module 106, the other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the base electrode of a triode Q1 of the driving module 107, and the collector electrode of the triode Q1 is respectively connected to the control electrode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR and one end of the resistor R1 to form a connection point a; the other end of the resistor R1 is respectively connected to the full-bridge rectifying unit DB, the anode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR and one end of the resistor R3; the cathode of the thyristor SCR is connected to the solenoid SOL by a connection full bridge rectifier unit DB.
When both the first and second leakage detection lines 141, 142 are operating normally (not open), the current of the first current line 11 flows through the full-bridge rectifying unit DB-resistor R3-TEST switch TEST-first leakage detection line 141-second leakage detection line 142-resistor R2-triode Q1-full-bridge rectifying unit DB-solenoid SOL to the second current line 12. When current flows through the triode Q1, the triode Q1 is conducted, so that the voltage of the point A of the control electrode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR is limited to be extremely low, and the silicon controlled rectifier SCR is ensured not to trigger false tripping of the power line leakage detection protection device. At this time, the switch module 103 is in a closed state, and the product is normally electrified for use.
When the first current carrying LINE 11 generates a leakage current signal (first leakage current signal) and the second current carrying LINE 12 is at the upper half cycle, current flows through the second current carrying LINE 12 through the full-bridge rectifying unit DB-resistor R3-TEST switch TEST-first leakage detection LINE 141-first current carrying LINE 11, when the first leakage current signal exceeds a set threshold value, the current flowing through the resistor R2 cannot drive Q1 and Q1 to be in a cut-off state by adjusting the resistance values of the resistor R3 and the resistor R2, the point a potential rises, and the current flows through the second current carrying LINE 12-full-bridge rectifying unit DB-resistor R1 to trigger the thyristor SCR driving solenoid SOL to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD of the switch module 103.
Similarly, when the second current carrying LINE 12 generates a leakage current signal (second leakage current signal) and the first current carrying LINE 11 is in the upper half cycle, current flows through the first current carrying LINE 11 through the full-bridge rectifying unit DB-resistor R3-TEST switch TEST-first leakage detection LINE 141-second leakage detection LINE 142-second current carrying LINE 12, and when the second leakage current signal exceeds a set threshold value, the current flowing through the resistor R2 cannot drive the transistor Q1 by adjusting the resistance values of the resistor R3 and the resistor R2, the transistor Q1 is in an off state, the point a potential rises, and the current triggers the thyristor SCR driving solenoid SOL through the first current carrying LINE 11-full-bridge rectifying unit DB-resistor R1 to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD of the switch module 103.
Thus, the apparatus can independently detect whether the first and second leakage detection lines 141 and 142 fail.
When the first leakage detection LINE 141 or the second leakage detection LINE 142 is opened or disconnected, no current drives the triode Q1 through the resistor R2, so that the triode Q1 is in a cut-off state, the potential at point a is increased, and the current triggers the thyristor SCR driving solenoid SOL through the current-carrying LINE-full bridge rectifying unit DB-resistor R1 to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD by the switch module 103.
Other modules of the power line leakage detection protection device may also be tested for faults by the test module 105. In this embodiment, when all the elements of the device normally operate and no leakage occurs between the first leakage detection line 141 and the first current carrying line 11 and between the second leakage detection line 142 and the second current carrying line 12, the triode Q1 normally operates without triggering the SCR to conduct, and the product normally operates.
When the TEST switch TEST is pressed to disconnect the TEST switch TEST, no current drives the triode Q1 through the resistor R2, so that the triode Q1 is in a cut-off state, the potential at point a rises, and the current triggers the thyristor SCR driving solenoid SOL through the current-carrying LINE-full bridge rectifying unit DB-resistor R1 to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD by the switch module 103. Thus, the user can detect whether the protection device is intact by operating the TEST switch TEST.
Example three

In the embodiment of fig. 4, the leakage detection module 104 includes a first leakage detection line 141, a second leakage detection line 142, and a connection line 21. The first drain detection line 141 wraps the first current carrying line 11, and the second drain detection line 142 wraps the second current carrying line 12. Similar to the embodiment of fig. 2, in this embodiment, the first end of each of the first and second leakage detection lines 141, 142, and the connection line 21 is the end away from the LOAD, and is located on the left side in fig. 4; the second end is the end near the LOAD, which is located to the right in fig. 4.
As shown in fig. 4, the second ends of the first and second leakage detection lines 141 and 142 are connected to the second ends of the connection lines 21. The first end of the first leakage detection line 141 is connected to one end of the resistor R5 of the detection monitor module 106, the first end of the connection line 21 is connected to one end of the TEST module 105 (e.g., the TEST switch TEST), the first end of the second leakage detection line 142 is connected to one end of the resistor R4 of the detection monitor module 106, and the other end of the TEST module 105 is connected to one end of the resistor R1 of the detection monitor module 106 and forms a connection point a. The other end of the resistor R5 and the other end of the resistor R4 are connected with one end of the resistor R3 in the driving module 107, one end of the capacitor C1, the cathode of the SCR and the anodes of the diodes D2 and D1. One end of a resistor R2 of the driving module 107 is connected to the connection point A, the other end of the resistor R2 is connected with the other end of the resistor R3 and the control electrode of the SCR, and a capacitor C1 is connected between the control electrode of the SCR and the cathode in parallel; the anode of the SCR and the cathode of the diode D1 are connected with one end of the solenoid SOL.
When both the first and second leakage detection lines 141, 142 are operating normally (not open), the current of the second current carrying line 12 flows through the solenoid SOL-resistor R1-TEST switch TEST-first leakage detection line 141-resistor R5-diode D2-solenoid SOL-first current carrying line 11 loop; similarly, the current of the second current carrying line 12 flows through the solenoid SOL-resistor R1-TEST switch TEST-second leakage detection line 142-resistor R4-diode D2-solenoid SOL-first current carrying line 11 loop. The voltage of the point A is reduced by adjusting the resistance values of the resistors R1, R4 and R5, so that the voltage of the control electrode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR is at an extremely low level after the voltage is divided by the resistors R2 and R3, and the silicon controlled rectifier SCR is ensured not to trigger the device to trip. At this point, the switch module 103 is in a closed state, and the device is normally powered on for use.
When the first current LINE 11 generates a leakage current signal (first leakage current signal) or the second current LINE 12 generates a leakage current signal (second leakage current signal), the potential at point a increases, and when the leakage current signal exceeds a set threshold value, the current triggers the SCR driving solenoid SOL through the current LINE-resistor R2 to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD by the switch module 103.
When at least one of the leakage detection LINEs is opened or closed, the potential at the point a rises, and the current flowing through the second current LINE 12-the solenoid SOL-resistor R1-resistor R2 triggers the SCR driving solenoid SOL to disconnect the power connection between the input LINE and the output LOAD by the switching module 103.
Other modules of the power line leakage detection protection device may also be tested for faults by the test module 105. In this embodiment, when all the elements of the device work normally and no leakage occurs between the first leakage detection line 141 and the first current carrying line 11 and between the second leakage detection line 142 and the second current carrying line 12, the resistor R2 cannot trigger the SCR to conduct, and the product works normally.
When the TEST switch TEST is pressed to turn off the TEST switch TEST, the potential at the point a rises, and the current flowing through the second current LINE 12-the solenoid SOL-resistor R1-resistor R2 triggers the SCR driving solenoid SOL to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD by the switch module 103. Thus, the user can detect whether the protection device is intact by operating the TEST switch TEST.
Example four
Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a fourth example of the power line leakage detection protection device according to the present invention. In the embodiment of fig. 5, the leakage detection module 104 includes a first leakage detection line 141, a second leakage detection line 142, and connection lines 21 and 22. The first drain detection line 141 wraps the first current carrying line 11, and the second drain detection line 142 wraps the second current carrying line 12. In this embodiment, the first end of each of the first and second leakage detection lines 141, 142, and the connection lines 21 and 22 is an end remote from the LOAD, and is located on the left side in fig. 5; the second end is the end near the LOAD, which is located to the right in fig. 5.
A second end of the first leakage detection line 141 is connected to a second end of the connection line 21, and a second end of the second leakage detection line 142 is connected to a second end of the connection line 22. A first end of the first leakage detection line 141 is connected to one end of the resistor R5 of the detection monitor module 106, forming a connection point a. The first end of the second leakage detection line 142 is connected to one end of the resistor R51 of the detection monitor module 106, forming a connection point B. The first end of the connecting wire 21 is sequentially connected with the TEST switch TEST1 of the TEST module 105 and the resistor R6 of the detection monitoring module 106, and the first end of the connecting wire 22 is sequentially connected with the TEST switch TEST2 of the TEST module 105 and the resistor R61 of the detection monitoring module 106.
The resistors R6 and R61 of the detection monitoring module 106 are connected to the capacitors C1, C2, C11, C22 of the driving module 107, the cathode of the SCR1, the cathode of the SCR11, and the anodes of the diodes D2 and D1; the resistor R2 of the driving module 107 is arranged between the connection point A and the cathode of the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1, and the capacitor C1 is arranged between the cathode of the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 and the resistor R6; the anode of the voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 is coupled to the control electrode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR1, the capacitor C2 is connected in parallel between the control electrode and the cathode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR1, and the anode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR1 is connected to the solenoid SOL. A resistor R21 of the driving module 107 is disposed between the connection point B and the cathode of the regulator tube ZD11, and a capacitor C11 is disposed between the cathode of the regulator tube ZD1 and the resistor R6; the anode of the voltage regulator tube ZD11 is coupled to the control electrode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR11, the capacitor C21 is connected in parallel between the control electrode and the cathode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR11, and the anode of the silicon controlled rectifier SCR11 is connected to the solenoid SOL.
When the first and second leakage detection lines 141, 142 and the connection lines 21 and 22 are all operating normally (not open or broken), the current of the first current carrying line 11 flows through the R5-first leakage detection line 141-connection line 21-TEST switch TEST 1-resistor R6-diode D2-solenoid SOL to the loop of the second current carrying line 12. By setting the resistance values of the resistors R5 and R6, the point A is limited to a lower potential which is lower than the threshold voltage of ZD1, so that the voltage of the control electrode of SCR1 is limited to an extremely low level, and the SCR1 is ensured not to trigger the false tripping of the device. Similarly, the current of the second current carrying line 12 flows through the R51-second leakage detection line 142-connection line 22-TEST switch TEST 2-resistor R61-diode D2-solenoid SOL to the loop of the first current carrying line 11. By setting the resistance of resistors R51 and R61, point B is limited to a lower potential that is below the threshold voltage of ZD11, thereby limiting the voltage at the trigger electrode of SCR11 to a very low level, ensuring that SCR11 does not trigger false tripping of the device. At this time, the switch module 103 is in a closed state, and the product is normally electrified for use.
When leakage current occurs in the first current carrying LINE 11, the potential at the point a rises, the thyristor SCR1 is triggered by the first current carrying LINE 11, the first leakage detection LINE 141, the resistor R2 and the regulator ZD1, and the solenoid SOL is driven to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD by the switch module 103. Similarly, when leakage current occurs in the second current carrying LINE 12, the potential of the point B rises, the thyristor SCR11 is triggered by the second current carrying LINE 12, the second leakage detection LINE 142, the resistor R21 and the voltage regulator tube ZD11, and the solenoid SOL is driven to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD.
When the first leakage detection LINE 141 is opened or the TEST switch TEST1 is operated to be turned off, the voltage division function of R6 is lost, the potential at point a rises, the thyristor SCR1 is triggered by the first current LINE 11-resistor R5-resistor R2-regulator ZD1, and the solenoid SOL is driven to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD by the switch module 103.
Similarly, when the second leakage detection LINE 142 is opened or the TEST switch TEST2 is operated to be turned off, the resistor R61 loses the voltage dividing function, the potential of the point B rises, the thyristor SCR11 is triggered by the second current carrying LINE 12-resistor R51-resistor R21-regulator ZD11, and the solenoid SOL is driven to disconnect the power connection between the input terminal LINE and the output terminal LOAD by the switch module 103.
