Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronic device, of the sensor type, comprising a transformer making it possible to transmit data or an electrical power supply between two circuits, while ensuring significant galvanic isolation between these two circuits. It is particularly suitable for a measurement or data transfer device intended for an application in a "high voltage" environment, such as in the railway field.
- a measurement on high voltage power lines requires a secure device so as not to endanger the operators who carry out this measurement as well as not to risk damaging the devices used.
- Such a measurement is made for example by means of voltage and/or current measurement sensors and engages an exchange of energy between a first part directly linked to the electric lines on which the measurement is carried out, representing a primary circuit, and a second part consisting of a secondary circuit which performs a complementary processing to the primary circuit.
- a classic transformer allows the transfer of energy between a primary and secondary circuit via a magnetic core.
- Such a solution has the advantage of providing galvanic isolation between the two circuits.
- obtaining a high level of galvanic isolation remains difficult to manufacture.
- such a conventional transformer has a high cost, a large bulk and weight. This significant weight reduces its reliability when it is used in a vehicle and subjected to vibrations and temperature variations, its welds on a measuring device presenting for example a risk of wear and premature rupture.
- the object of the invention is to provide a solution that does not include the drawbacks mentioned above.
- a first object of the invention consists in proposing an electronic apparatus which offers high galvanic isolation between a primary circuit and a secondary circuit.
- a second object of the invention consists in proposing an electronic apparatus which has reduced bulk and cost.
- a third object of the invention consists in proposing an electronic device which offers increased reliability, for example adapted for an on-board application within a vehicle such as a locomotive.
- the invention relates to an electronic device for intervention in a high-voltage electrical environment, characterized in that it comprises at least one transformer as described above.
- the concept of the invention is based on a device performing the function of a transformer obtained without a magnetic core, by combining two conductive coils superimposed on two sides of the same printed circuit and communicating without any contact, taking advantage of the insulating material forming the printed circuit to ensure high-performance galvanic isolation between the two coils.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents a measurement sensor according to an embodiment of the invention, intended for the railway field, which we will simply call railway sensor hereafter.
- This rail sensor comprises a primary circuit 1, intended to be directly connected to a high-voltage electrical environment by a connector 2, and a secondary circuit 21, intended to process measurements originating from the primary circuit 1, and to communicate them at the output via one or more connectors 22.
- the secondary circuit 21 further comprises a supply terminal 23.
- the principle of the invention shown schematically in the figure 2 , consists in using one or more insulating and compact transformer(s) 10, without a magnetic core, for an exchange between the primary 1 and secondary 21 circuits.
- FIG. 3 shows in section the structure of a transformer 10 according to the invention.
- a transformer comprises two coils 11, 12 superposed and respectively connected to the primary 1 and secondary 21 circuits of the rail sensor. They are thus also called primary coil 11 and secondary coil 12. These two primary 11 and secondary 12 coils are separated by a flat insulating element 13, for example made of plastic material.
- a coil receives an electric current, it generates a magnetic field which generates an induced electric current in the second coil.
- the two primary 1 and secondary 21 circuits are thus interconnected via the coils 11, 12 which communicate without contact, while being electrically insulated by the intermediate insulating element 13.
- the insulating element corresponds to the printed circuit of the rail sensor, on which the other electronic components of the device are arranged, and the transformer 10 is simply obtained by arranging two coils 11, 12 superimposed on each opposite face of the printed circuit. To ensure isolation, there are no through holes in the circuit board at the coils.
- THE figures 4a and 4b respectively represent the two primary 11 and secondary 12 coils, respectively connected to the primary 1 and secondary 21 circuits of the rail sensor.
- Each coil 11, 12 is in the form of a circular winding, having a central end, respectively 15, 14, and a peripheral end respectively 17, 16.
- the two ends of each coil 11, 12 are naturally connected to the electrical circuit of the primary circuit 1 and secondary circuit 21 respectively to form a closed electrical circuit.
- the two coils could have a non-circular shape, for example square, as shown in the figure 5 , or ellipsoidal or rectangular.
- the two coils are preferably identical, have the same shape and the same dimensions. As a variant, they could have a different number of turns. They are for example obtained by copper coils, the number and dimensions of which depend on the intended application.
- each coil 12, 11 is therefore connected to the electrical circuit as mentioned previously. However, this electrical connection is obtained without electrical contact with the various windings of the coil.
- the solution consists in using a wire 18, 19 welded to the central end 14, 15 of each coil 12, 11, and extending beyond the winding of each coil in isolation from this winding, to connect its central terminal to the rest of the electrical circuit. This solution is illustrated on the figure 4 And 5 .
- THE figures 6 and 7 illustrate a first alternative embodiment of the solution described above in which the electrical connection of the central end of the coil is obtained via blind holes 20 and a connecting wire 18, 19 positioned within the thickness of the printed circuit.
- the elements of the previous variant could be reversed, the coils being located within the thickness of the printed circuit and the connecting wires on the surface of the printed circuit and still connected to the coils by blind holes.
- the coreless transformer as described above can be used for different types of exchanges between the primary and secondary circuits. Two main exchanges are advantageously implemented in combination.
- a first exchange consists of a transmission of electrical power from one circuit to the other.
- the power supply of the primary circuit is obtained from the power supply of the secondary circuit, by its power supply terminal 23.
- an electrical connection 3 of the primary circuit 1 is connected to an electrical connection 24 of the secondary circuit, itself connected to the power supply terminal 23, via a transformer 10 as described above. This avoids splitting the power supply to separately supply the two primary and secondary circuits.
- a second exchange consists of a data transmission between the two circuits.
- the primary circuit which first receives the data from the high voltage line, via its direct link 2, carries out a first processing of these data, then transmits them to the secondary circuit, which will carry out a second processing, via a transformer 10 as previously described.
- This data transmission can take place via electrical signals and, for example, frequency modulation.
- the number of turns will be calculated taking into account the fact that the frequency of the control signal will be higher the lower the number of turns.
- the data transmission can be done digitally, the primary circuit comprising a digitization of the data before their transmission by the transformer then operating as a pulse transformer.
- the two parts of the transformer have been called “primary” and “secondary” by convention in the previous description: as the exchanges of energy or data can take place in both directions from one part to the other, the choice of the nomenclature “primary” and “secondary” could have been reversed or variable according to each transformer.
- FIG 8 shows in more detail a measuring device according to the invention, intended for the railway field, for example for measuring on high voltage lines or within a locomotive. It includes a first power supply transformer, as mentioned earlier, and three data transfer transformers, forming four partially independent circuits shown in the figure 8 .
- the transfer of energy takes place from a DC power supply 23 of the secondary circuit, via a circuit 24 comprising in particular a chopper or inverter to transmit an alternating signal to the secondary coil 12e of the power supply transformer.
- This energy is transmitted by this coil to the primary coil 11e which transmits it to the primary circuit via a filter and a rectifier 25.
- a technical problem arises with this solution because the transfer of energy by such a contactless transformer has a relatively low efficiency.
- the solution adopted consists of a simplified primary circuit, comprising only low-power components.
- certain electronic functions are preferably performed at the level of the secondary circuit, the results necessary for the operation of the primary electronic circuit being transferred from the secondary circuit to the primary circuit by a data transformer according to the invention.
- the rail sensor of the figure 8 comprises two other pulse transformers 10h and 10s for respectively transmitting from the secondary circuit to the primary circuit a clock signal and a synchronization signal, for the start of sampling.
- only one of these two transformers could be used.
- the railway sensor includes another 10m pulse transformer to transmit from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit the result of a measurement carried out on the high voltage environment.
- the transformers 10h, 10s and 10m can comprise a reduced number of turns, less than 12, and even advantageously less than 8 for pulse heights to be transmitted of the order of 5V.
- the railway sensor described above could have different embodiments.
- it could comprise another number of transformers, for example for the transfer of additional measurement data, either for a redundancy of the same measurement or for additional measurements. It will advantageously comprise at least three data transfer transformers.
- the transformer according to the invention is advantageously compatible with existing printed circuit structures, made of epoxy material and of standardized thickness of 1.6 mm. Under these conditions, it can achieve dielectric strength greater than 15,000 V and insulation greater than 500 MOhms at 500 V. However, the concept of the invention remains applicable to all other existing printed circuits, with a thickness greater than or equal to 1.6 mm, such as 3.2 mm, or flexible and thin printed circuits. On the other hand, this transformer is provided for operation at a frequency greater than or equal to 1 Mhz.
- the transformer is directly built on a printed circuit, by applying turns directly on or within the printed circuit, by any technique such as by screen printing for example, which avoids having to add an independent transformer, avoids its size and the addition of welds for its fixing.
- the solution then greatly increases the reliability of the transformer obtained since it no longer risks deteriorating in the event of vibrations or temperature changes, which makes it a very efficient solution for an application on board a locomotive or any other vehicle.
- the solution also greatly reduces the cost and size of solutions using a conventional sensor.
