Example 1
The first embodiment of the present utility model provides a detection apparatus for a high voltage circuit breaker of an LF electric device, as shown in fig. 1, including: an auxiliary point detection circuit, a power supply detection circuit 110, a closing detection circuit 120, a opening detection circuit 130 and a tank circuit 140;
the power supply detection circuit 110, the closing detection circuit 120, the opening detection circuit 130 and the tank circuit 140 are all connected in parallel, and the auxiliary point detection circuit is connected in parallel with a detection position in the high-voltage circuit breaker.
In this embodiment, the auxiliary point detection circuit is used for detecting whether the detection position in the high-voltage circuit breaker operates normally after the detection device is connected with the high-voltage circuit breaker and the detection device is powered on. The detection position is the position of an electronic element (namely an auxiliary point) in the high-voltage circuit breaker, for example, a normally open point for auxiliary electric shock is closed, and the closing state of the high-voltage circuit breaker is reflected.
The power supply detection circuit 110 is used for detecting whether the power supply of the detection device is operating normally after the detection device is powered on.
The closing detection circuit 120 is used for detecting whether the closing coil 124 of the high-voltage circuit breaker is operating normally.
The opening detection circuit 130 is used for detecting whether the opening coil 134 of the high-voltage circuit breaker is operating normally.
The tank circuit 140 is used for detecting whether the detection device charges the tank motor 144 of the high-voltage circuit breaker.
The following describes each detection circuit of the present embodiment in detail with reference to fig. 1:
the detection device of the embodiment further comprises a plug, the plug is arranged in the detection device, and the detection device is connected with the high-voltage circuit breaker through the plug. Preferably, the plug is an aviation plug.
The power supply detection circuit 110 includes: a power indicator 111; the power indicator 111 has one end connected to the positive electrode of the power supply of the detection device and the other end connected to the negative electrode of the power supply of the detection device, so as to ensure that the detection device has powered on. The power indicator 111 is used to indicate whether the power supply of the detection device is operating normally. When the power indicator 111 is normally on after the detection device is powered on, it indicates that the power supply of the detection device is in a normal operation state. If the power indicator 111 is not on or blinks, it indicates that the power of the detection device is not running or is not running normally, and the power of the detection device fails. For example, when the power supply of the detection device is unstable, the power indicator 111 may be irregularly blinking.
The auxiliary point detection circuit includes: an auxiliary point detection switch and an auxiliary point indicator lamp; one end of the auxiliary point detection switch is connected with one end of the detection position, and the other end of the auxiliary point detection switch is connected with one end of the auxiliary point indicator lamp; the other end of the detection position is connected with the other end of the auxiliary point indicating lamp. The number of the detection positions is plural, and the number of the auxiliary point detection circuits is plural, wherein the detection positions and the auxiliary point detection circuits are in one-to-one correspondence. For example, the auxiliary point detection circuit a detects one detection position a, and the auxiliary point detection circuit B detects one detection position B.
And after an auxiliary point detection switch in a certain auxiliary point detection circuit is closed, if an auxiliary point indicator lamp in the auxiliary point detection circuit is normally on, the working principle of the auxiliary point detection circuit indicates that the detection position corresponding to the auxiliary point detection circuit operates normally. If the auxiliary point indicator lamp in the auxiliary point detection circuit is not on or blinks, the detection position corresponding to the auxiliary point detection circuit is not operated, and the electronic element corresponding to the detection position fails.
It should be noted that a plurality of the auxiliary point detection circuits can be connected in series. Therefore, whether the detection position is damaged or not can be judged through the auxiliary point indicator lamp. If the detection position is a normally open point, the auxiliary point indicating lamp corresponding to the detection position is turned on in the opening state of the high-voltage circuit breaker. Each auxiliary point of the high-voltage circuit breaker is used for providing a switch state for automatic control, and the working state of the high-voltage circuit breaker is clearly mastered.
The closing detection circuit 120 includes: a closing switch 121, a closing indicator 122, and a closing indicator switch 123; one end of a closing switch 121 is connected with one end lamp of a closing indicator lamp switch 123, and the other end of the closing switch is connected with one end of a closing coil 124 of the high-voltage circuit breaker; the other end of the closing coil is connected with one end of a closing indicator lamp 122; the other end of the closing indicator 122 is connected to the other end of the closing indicator switch 123. The operation principle of the closing detection circuit 120 is that after the closing switch 121 and the closing indicator switch 123 of the closing detection circuit 120 are closed, if the closing indicator 122 is normally on, it indicates that the closing coil is in an operation state. If the switch-on indicator 122 is not on or blinks, it indicates that the switch-on coil is in an unoperated state, and the switch-on coil fails.
The open-gate detection circuit 130 includes: a brake switch 131, a brake switch indicator 132, and a brake switch indicator 133; one end of the switching-off switch 131 is connected with one end lamp of the switching-off indicator lamp switch 133, and the other end of the switching-off switch is connected with one end of a switching-off coil 134 of the high-voltage circuit breaker; the other end of the brake-separating coil is connected with one end of a brake-separating indicator lamp 132; the other end of the opening indicator light 132 is connected to the other end of the opening indicator light switch 133. The switching-off detection circuit 130 operates on the principle that, after the switching-off switch 131 and the switching-off indicator light switch 133 of the switching-off detection circuit 130 are closed, if the switching-off indicator light 132 is normally on, the switching-off coil is in an operating state. If the brake-off indicator 132 is not on or blinks, it indicates that the brake-off coil is in an unoperated state and the brake-off coil fails.
The tank circuit 140 includes: an energy storage switch 141, an energy storage indicator 142, and an energy storage indicator switch 143; one end of the energy storage switch 141 is connected with one end of the energy storage indicator light switch 143, and the other end is connected with one end of the energy storage motor 144 of the high-voltage circuit breaker; the other end of the energy storage motor 144 is connected with one end of the energy storage indicator light 142; the other end of the energy storage indicator light 142 is connected with the other end of the energy storage indicator light switch 143. The working principle of the energy storage circuit 140 is that after the energy storage switch 141 and the energy storage indicator light switch 143 are closed, if the energy storage indicator light 142 is in a normally-on state, it means that when the energy storage switch 141 is in a closed state, the energy storage switch 141 causes the detection device to charge the energy storage motor 144 of the high-voltage circuit breaker. If the energy storage indicator 142 is in a very bright state, it indicates that the energy storage motor 144 is malfunctioning.
The detection device of the present embodiment is used by observing the state of the power indicator 111 after the detection device is energized by the plug connection to the high-voltage circuit breaker. If the power indicator 111 is in a very bright state, the power indicating the detected state fails. If the power indicator 111 is in a normally-on state, it indicates that the power supply in the detected state has not failed.
After the power indicator 111 is in a normally-on state, the auxiliary point detection switch in each auxiliary point detection circuit is turned on, and the state of each auxiliary point indicator is observed. If a certain auxiliary point indicator lamp is in a very bright state, the fault of the detection position corresponding to the auxiliary point indicator lamp is indicated. If each auxiliary point indicator lamp is in a normally-on state, the fault does not occur in the detection position corresponding to each auxiliary point indicator lamp.
After each auxiliary point indicator lamp is in a normally-on state, the switch-on switch 121 and the switch-on indicator lamp switch 123 in the switch-on detection circuit 120 are closed, and the state of the switch-on indicator lamp 122 is observed. If the switch-on indicator 122 is in a very bright state, it indicates that the switch-on coil of the high-voltage circuit breaker fails. If the switch-on indicator 122 is in a normally-on state, it indicates that the switch-on coil of the high-voltage circuit breaker has not failed.
After the switch-on indicator 122 is in a normally-on state, the switch-on switch 121 and the switch-on indicator switch 123 are turned on, the switch-off switch 131 and the switch-off indicator switch 133 in the switch-off detection circuit 130 are turned on, and the state of the switch-off indicator 132 is observed. If the switching-off indicator lamp 132 is in a very bright state, it indicates that the switching-off coil of the high-voltage circuit breaker fails. If the brake-off indicator 132 is in a normally-on state, it indicates that the brake-off coil is not failed.
After the brake-off indicator lamp 132 is in a normally-on state, the brake-off switch 131 and the brake-off indicator lamp switch 133 are turned on, the energy storage switch 141 and the energy storage indicator lamp switch 143 in the energy storage circuit 140 are turned on, and the state of the energy storage indicator lamp 142 is observed. If the energy storage indicator light 142 is in a very bright state, it indicates that the energy storage motor 144 of the high voltage circuit breaker is malfunctioning. If the energy storage indicator 142 is in a normally-on state, the detection device can charge the energy storage motor 144 normally.
