Description

  The present invention relates to a heat sensitive wire and a non-contact power supply device including the heat sensitive wire, and in particular, reduces the influence of a magnetic field generated by an exciting current of the non-contact power supply device by using a heat sensitive wire with a minimum inductance, and a heat sensitive wire. The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive wire that can reduce the cost of the device and a non-contact power supply device including the heat-sensitive wire.

When power is supplied to the load in a contactless manner, if there is a metal object such as iron in the vicinity of the power supply line, eddy current loss occurs due to the magnetic flux passing through the metal, and the portion is locally overheated.
For such a danger, a non-contact power feeding device as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below has been proposed.

The non-contact power feeding device described in Patent Document 1 covers a pair of non-magnetic conductors with an insulator that softens at a predetermined temperature along a power receiving coil that is fed in a non-contact manner from an induction line, and is covered with these insulators. A heat-sensitive wire formed by twisting together the conductive wires, one end of the pair of conductive wires is connected to both ends of the power receiving coil, respectively, and when the power receiving coil reaches the predetermined temperature or more, the insulator of the heat sensitive wire is softened. The conducting wire is short-circuited, and the conducting wire and the power receiving coil form a closed circuit.
According to this configuration, since the closed circuit is formed by the heat generation of the power receiving coil, further heat generation of the power receiving coil can be prevented and burnout can be prevented.

In the non-contact power feeding device described in Patent Document 2, a heat sensitive wire with open ends is connected to both ends of the pickup unit, and a circuit protector is interposed between the constant voltage control circuit and the load. Connect a series circuit of tripping coil and surge absorber to both ends of the load, wind a nichrome wire around the heat sensitive wire, and connect both ends of the nichrome wire to the output terminal of the constant voltage control circuit via the auxiliary contact of the circuit protector I am doing so.
According to this configuration, when an abnormal voltage occurs in the resonance circuit, the constant voltage control circuit and the load can be disconnected from the power supply side, and the abnormal voltage can be prevented from being applied to the constant voltage control circuit, etc. Can be avoided.

By the way, when laying a heat sensitive wire in the vicinity of the power supply line over a range of several tens of meters in one power supply section and several hundred meters in the whole power supply line of the ceiling transportation equipment between processes, the power supply line is usually used. It is common to provide a groove for laying a heat sensitive wire in the feeder support material to be supported, and insert the heat sensitive wire in the groove, or insert the heat sensitive wire together in the groove for inserting the power supply wire. .
In order to lay such a long distance, it is easy to imagine that if there is excessive slack during the laying work, it is easy to imagine working by pulling the heat sensitive wire to remove the slack. In order to facilitate the heat treatment, the heat sensitive wire also needs a certain degree of mechanical strength.

However, in the heat sensitive wire of the conventional non-contact power feeding device, the strength of the heat sensitive wire is determined by the strength of the lead wire, so that it is necessary to thicken the lead wire portion in order to produce a heat sensitive wire with high strength.
Further, by increasing the thickness of the conductive wire part, there arises a problem that the thermal conductive wire itself self-heats due to the eddy current caused by the magnetic field of the feeder line, and the cost of the thermal sensitive wire itself increases.
JP 11-178104 A JP-A-11-341713

  In view of the problems of the above-described conventional heat sensitive wire and the non-contact power feeding device having the heat sensitive wire, the present invention reduces the influence of the magnetic field generated by the exciting current of the non-contact power feeding device by the heat sensitive wire having the smallest inductance. It aims at providing the non-contact electric power feeder provided with the heat sensitive wire and this heat sensitive wire which can reduce the cost of a heat sensitive wire while reducing.

  In order to achieve the above object, the heat sensitive wire of the present invention is a heat sensitive wire in which the conductive wires are insulated from each other by a molten layer that melts at a predetermined temperature. The heat sensitive wire has a coaxial structure composed of an inner conductive wire and an outer conductive wire. The outer conductor is wound in a spiral shape so that the directions of the spirals are opposite to each other.

  In order to achieve the same object, the non-contact power supply device of the present invention supplies electric power in a non-contact manner from a ground facility to a transport vehicle or the like by electromagnetic induction via a power supply line and a power receiving coil for passing a high-frequency current, In a non-contact power feeding device with a heat-sensitive wire in which the conductive wires are insulated from each other by a molten layer that melts at a predetermined temperature, the heat-sensitive wire has a coaxial structure with an inner conductive wire and an outer conductive wire, and the inner conductive wire and the outer conductive wire are in a spiral direction. It is characterized by being spirally wound so that is reversed.

  In this case, an abnormality is detected that detects the voltage of the heat sensitive wire, detects a short circuit of the conductor when the detected voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold, and detects a disconnection of the conductor when the detected voltage falls below the predetermined threshold. A detection circuit can be provided.

  Further, the heat sensitive wire can be arranged at a site where abnormal heat generation other than the vicinity of the power supply line is assumed.

According to the heat sensitive wire of the present invention and the non-contact power supply apparatus provided with the heat sensitive wire, the heat sensitive wire insulated from each other by a molten layer that melts at a predetermined temperature has a coaxial structure with an inner conductor and an outer conductor, Since the inner conductor and the outer conductor are wound in a spiral so that the directions of the spirals are reversed, the magnetic field produced by the inner conductor and the magnetic field produced by the outer conductor cancel each other, and a heat sensitive wire with a small inductance can be manufactured. It is possible to reduce the influence of the magnetic field generated by the exciting current of the non-contact power feeding device.
Moreover, if the direction of the spiral is reversed, the inner conductor and the outer conductor intersect at right angles when the molten layer is unwound, so that a short circuit can be surely made.
Furthermore, since the inner conductor and the outer conductor have a double helix coaxial structure, the strength of the heat sensitive wire is supported on the core material that winds the inner conductor, and thin conductors are used for the inner conductor and the outer conductor. As a result, it is possible to easily produce a heat sensitive wire having a small finished size and a high strength, and reducing the cost of the heat sensitive wire by making the conductor thin.

  In this case, an abnormality is detected that detects the voltage of the heat sensitive wire, detects a short circuit of the conductor when the detected voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold, and detects a disconnection of the conductor when the detected voltage falls below the predetermined threshold. By providing the detection circuit, it is possible to detect anomaly detection due to a temperature rise of the heat sensitive wire by a short circuit of the lead wire and to detect damage of the heat sensitive wire by disconnection of the lead wire.

  In addition, by arranging the heat sensitive wire at a site where abnormal heat generation other than the vicinity of the power supply line is assumed, for example, the connection part such as the impedance adjustment capacitor of the power supply line installed in the middle of the power supply line Abnormal heat generation due to poor contact or capacitor deterioration can be detected.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a heat sensitive wire of the present invention and a non-contact power feeding device including the heat sensitive wire will be described based on the drawings.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the heat sensitive wire of the present invention and a non-contact power supply apparatus provided with the heat sensitive wire.
The non-contact power supply apparatus supplies power from a ground facility to a transport vehicle or the like (not shown) in a non-contact manner by electromagnetic induction via a power supply line 1 and a power receiving coil 2 through which a high-frequency current flows.
And this non-contact electric power feeder is equipped with the heat sensitive wire 4 by which the conducting wires were insulated by the molten layer 3 which melt | dissolves at predetermined temperature, this heat sensitive wire 4 is made into the coaxial structure by the inner side conducting wire 5 and the outer side conducting wire 6, The conducting wire 5 and the outer conducting wire 6 are spirally wound so that the directions of the spirals are reversed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the heat sensitive wire 4 has a molten layer 3 made of a thermoplastic resin in which an inner conductor 5 is spirally wound around a central tension member 7 serving as a strength member and melted at a predetermined temperature around the inner conductive wire 5. Is provided.
Then, the outer conductive wire 6 is spirally wound around the molten layer 3. The winding direction of the outer conductor 6 is wound so that the spiral direction of the inner conductor 5 is reversed, and a protective insulating layer 8 is provided around the outer conductor 6.

The tension member 7 is a tetron twisted yarn or the like used in ordinary movable electric wires. The inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 are made of one to several copper wires having a diameter of about 0.1 to 0.2 mm. Wind spirally.
A voltage of about 50 V is applied between the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 in order to detect that the molten layer 3 has melted and the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 are short-circuited.
The thickness of the molten layer 3 may be a thickness having a withstand voltage against a potential difference between the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6, and can be sufficiently insulated if it has a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm.

The material of the molten layer 3 melts at a predetermined temperature. For example, a polyethylene resin having a stable melting temperature around 120 ° C. is suitable.
By reversing the winding direction of the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6, the magnetic field produced by the inner conductor 5 and the magnetic field produced by the outer conductor 6 cancel each other, and the heat sensitive wire 4 having a small inductance can be manufactured.
If the spiral direction is reversed, the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 are short-circuited so as to intersect at right angles when the molten layer 3 is unwound, and the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 are wound respectively. By setting the pitch to 1 to 2 mm, the short circuit can be surely made.

  The outer conductive wire 6 has a structure such as a braided wire such as a general coaxial cable or a shielded wire that winds a metal foil ribbon without gaps to make the electric field inside the outer conductive wire 6 uniform, and penetrates the outer conductive wire 6. Since the eddy current is generated by the magnetic flux and the outer conductor 6 self-heats, in this embodiment, a thin copper wire is spirally wound at a constant pitch with a gap.

The melting temperature of the molten layer 3 depends on the type of material and does not depend on the thickness of the molten layer 3.
Further, the protective insulating layer 8 is a common material such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and can be set to a required thickness with an insulation voltage regardless of the melting temperature.

On the other hand, in the heat-sensitive wire 4 having the conventional twisted structure shown in FIG. 5, the thickness of the molten layer 3 is not limited to the line voltage of the heat-sensitive wire 4 but needs to have a thickness necessary for insulation from the metal part where it is laid. In addition, a twisting pitch of about a few centimeters is a manufacturing limit, and the contact between the conductors 41 when the molten layer 3 is melted is disadvantageous.
On the other hand, in the heat sensitive wire 4 of the present embodiment, the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 have a double helix coaxial structure in which directions are different from each other. It is possible to easily manufacture the heat-sensitive wire 4 having a high strength.
Furthermore, in the heat sensitive wire 4 of the present embodiment, the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 use copper wires having a diameter of about 0.1 to 0.2 mm in the range of one to several, so the area crossing the magnetic flux is extremely small. The self-heating due to the eddy current loss becomes extremely small, and it is possible to lay in parallel with the feeder line 1 so as to be in the vicinity of the feeder line 1 or in direct contact with the feeder line 1.

The heat sensitive wire 4 is not self-repaired when the molten layer 3 is melted, and becomes disposable.
However, since the melting layer 3 of the heat sensitive wire 4 is melted as an event that occurs as a result of an accident, the feeder 1 and the feeder support 9 are usually already damaged.
The heat sensitive wire 4 is considered as a consumable part to be exchanged as a pair with the power supply line 1, and the length when laying is divided into about the same as that of the power supply line 1, and laid so that the replacement can be easily performed.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the abnormality detection circuit.
A sine wave signal having a constant frequency is generated by an oscillation circuit, power amplified, insulated by a transformer, a current limiting resistor is inserted in series, and connected to the thermal wire 4. The end of the heat sensitive wire is connected with a terminating resistor. The resistance of the heat sensitive wire 4 is several hundreds Ω to 1 kΩ when 100 meters are laid.
When a voltage of 60 V is generated on the secondary side of the insulating transformer, the current limiting resistance is 3 kΩ, the terminating resistance is 10 kΩ, and the resistance of the heat sensitive wire 4 is 1 kΩ, the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 of the heat sensitive wire 4 are always 4. A current of 3 mA flows, and the line voltage between the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 is 43 volts.
When the molten layer 3 is melted and the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 are short-circuited, the current increases from 15 mA to 20 mA depending on the short-circuit location.

When the melting layer 3 of the heat sensitive wire 4 reaches the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin, it melts with fluidity. At this time, the molten resin forms a thin film at a molecular level between the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6.
This thin film is an electrical insulator, but by securing a certain electric field strength between the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6, the thin film is burned out and electrically short-circuited.
Therefore, it is sufficient that the voltage generated on the secondary side of the insulating transformer is 20 to 30 V or more.
On the other hand, when this voltage exceeds 100 V, the matters to be considered such as the withstand voltage increase, and it becomes difficult to manufacture the heat-sensitive wire 4 having a small finished size.

  In addition, the electrical equipment standards based on the provisions of the Electricity Business Law stipulate the allowable current and the like for the use points of electric wires for the purpose of maintenance and safety of equipment. If the voltage is 60V or less, it will fall into the category of small power circuit, and the operation with the heat sensitive wire 4 with a small finished size will be used as a small power circuit, with different standards and standards applied to the wires used for higher voltage circuits. Is preferred. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

By the way, by setting the frequency of the oscillation circuit to a frequency between several Hz to several tens Hz, the frequency of the excitation current flowing through the feeder line 1 can be separated from the frequency by two digits or more, and the circuit current is detected by a shunt resistor. Then, when it is amplified, the component of the excitation current of 10 kHz induced by the power supply line 1 can be easily removed with a low-pass filter, and the current can be detected.
Further, the differential amplifier effectively removes the induced voltage of the in-phase component induced in the heat sensitive wire 4.
A short circuit is detected by comparing the reference voltage V2 with the detected voltage, the short circuit being caused by the melting of the molten layer 3 and the normal current increasing to the short circuit current.
On the other hand, when the heat sensitive wire 4 is disconnected for some reason, the circuit current decreases from the normal 4.3 mA to zero, so the comparator compares it with the reference voltage V1 and detects the disconnection when it falls below the reference voltage V1. To do.
The threshold set by the reference voltage V1 or the reference voltage V2 can be arbitrarily set as long as it is a value that can distinguish the normal current and the abnormal state. As an example, setting near the intermediate value between the normal value and the abnormal value makes it possible to avoid a malfunction due to noise.

Note that in Japan, radio frequency equipment with a frequency of 10 kHz or higher is required to be installed at the competent authority (the general communication station under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications that has jurisdiction over the area where it is installed). is doing. Although foreign manufacturers use around 20 kHz, this embodiment can also be applied to a non-contact power feeding device having a frequency of 10 kHz or more.
Since the low-pass filter of FIG. 2 removes signals having a frequency higher than 10 kHz, the effect of removing unnecessary signals by induction or the like is enhanced even when the excitation frequency of the feeder line 1 is higher than 10 kHz. Therefore, even a non-contact power feeding device of 10 kHz or higher is applicable.

A short circuit due to abnormal heat generation of the heat sensitive wire 4 and a disconnection of the heat sensitive wire 4 due to some cause are detected on the ground side on the side where the high frequency power supply device is installed, and an excitation current is supplied to the power supply line 1 (not shown). Stop the output of the high frequency power supply. By stopping the output of the high-frequency power source device, the induction overheating stops and it is possible to prevent an increase in damage due to a fire or an accident.
The current limiting resistor is inserted in series with the heat sensitive wire 4 when the heat sensitive wire 4 is short-circuited, because the inner conductor 5 or the outer conductor 6 is made of an extremely thin copper wire having a small cross-sectional area, the allowable current is small. When there is no limiting resistance, it may burn out with a short-circuit current, resulting in a disconnected state. In this case, the disconnection caused by the short circuit and the disconnection caused by another factor cannot be distinguished from each other. Therefore, the disconnection caused by the short circuit is prevented, and the disconnection caused by the short circuit and the disconnection caused by another factor are detected. In order to be able to distinguish, the circuit current is limited.

In this embodiment, it is determined only whether or not the increase in the short-circuit current is larger than the threshold with respect to the normal current, but the magnitude of the short-circuit current is proportional to the distance from the drive power source of the heat sensitive wire 4. Since there is a linear relationship in which the lead wire resistance of No. 4 increases and the distance and current value at which the short-circuit current decreases can be uniquely determined, it is also possible to estimate the short-circuit location.
When an abnormality occurs, whether or not to continue the abnormal state is not necessarily constant depending on the situation where the abnormality has occurred. The output of the high-frequency power supply device is stopped when an abnormality occurs, and then the output stop of the high-frequency power supply device is maintained even if the short-circuit state of the heat sensitive wire 4 is temporarily removed. This can be realized easily if held.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a method for laying heat sensitive wires.
A groove for inserting the heat sensitive wire 4 is provided below the power feed wire 1 of the power feed wire support member 9 that supports the power feed wire 1 or below the power receiving coil 2, and the heat sensitive wire 4 is inserted therein.
Since the feeder support 9 is manufactured by extrusion molding of a thermoplastic resin (usually heat-resistant PVC resin, ABS resin, etc.), it is easy to add a groove to the extrusion mold of the feeder support 9. By providing a groove for laying the thermal wire 4 at the time of molding, the thermal wire 4 can also be laid at the same time when the feeder 1 is laid.

Consider, for example, placing an iron spanner or screwdriver inside or near the feeder support 9 or accidentally placing a panel or the like removed during maintenance of another device near the feeder 1. When protecting against the risk of induction heating, the location of the groove in which the thermal wire 4 is laid is suitable to be closer to the floor below the feeder line 1.
In addition, due to an abnormality or failure of the power receiving coil 2 of the transport vehicle or the like on the power receiving side of the power feeding device, the heat generation due to an abnormality or failure, or the positional relationship between the power receiving coil 2 of the transport vehicle and the power supply line 1 changes, and both are in contact with each other. If an accident in which the feeder line 1 or the heat sensitive wire 4 is disconnected is installed, it is installed in the vicinity of the feeder line 1.
Since the position of the heat sensitive wire 4 is not particularly limited, it is possible to provide grooves at a plurality of locations and lay them all over the risk that is assumed.

Next, temperature detection of the terminal portion shown in FIG. 4 will be described as another embodiment in which a heat sensitive wire is laid.
The feeder line 1 has an inherent inductance per unit length, and its value usually indicates a value of about 5 μH / m. When a current of 100 A is passed through the feeder line 1 at a frequency of 10 kHz, a voltage drop of about 30 V / m occurs in the feeder line 1. Since a voltage of 600 V is generated even at a distance of 20 m, when the distance of the feeder line 1 becomes long, a capacitor 10 is inserted in series with the feeder line 1 at regular intervals, and the voltage of the feeder line 1 in the section is made to be below a certain value. Suppress.
The capacitor 10 requires a capacitor having a high withstand voltage and a large allowable current, and it is difficult to obtain the capacitor 10. For this reason, a plurality of relatively inexpensive polyester film capacitors are used, and equivalently, a capacitor having a large withstand voltage and allowable current is formed.
The capacitor 10 is connected by screwing the electrode terminal of the capacitor 10 to the insulated copper bar 11 (copper plate), but when the screwed portion is loosened, heat is generated at the electrode portion, and the electrode portion or the copper bar 11, This causes burning of the capacitor 10.

To detect abnormal heat generation in this portion, the heat sensitive wire 4 is wound around the copper bar 11 in close contact.
The heat sensitive wire 4 can detect a temperature abnormality by melting and short-circuiting the heat sensitive wire 4 at the location even in local heating.
FIG. 4 shows an example in which the heat sensitive wire 4 is tightly wound around the copper bar portion, but it is also possible to detect the temperature rise of the portion by winding it around the electric wire portion connected to the capacitor 10 or the feeder line 1. It is.

As another abnormality detection method for the copper bar portion, a bimetal temperature switch or a thermistor temperature sensor is installed on the copper bar 11 to detect an abnormal temperature rise. It is a known method that can be easily inferred from the above.
However, in the detection method of the present embodiment, the applied voltage, the current limiting resistor, and the terminating resistor between the inner conductor 5 and the outer conductor 6 are appropriately selected, and all the thermal wires 4 divided into a plurality of sections are connected in series. It is also possible to monitor a wide range of abnormalities in the system with a single detection circuit.
In particular, a known temperature switch or the like needs to be separately wired for the temperature switch. However, in this embodiment in which the heat sensitive wire 4 also serves as a signal transmission wire, an abnormality can be detected with a small number of laying steps and wiring steps. it can.

In Japan, low-voltage electricity is divided into 600V or less for AC and high-voltage electricity is divided into 600V or more. Special inspections stipulated in Article 59, Paragraph 3 and Article 119 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act for inspection and maintenance of high-voltage electricity. Need to do.
For this reason, the voltage is suppressed so that it does not correspond to high-voltage electricity, ensuring the number of qualified personnel, and making maintenance and inspection easier in terms of safety.
In addition, when high voltage is used, general-purpose electrical components may cause insufficient insulation withstand voltage, and the distance required for insulation increases, leading to an increase in equipment size and cost. It is desirable to use in.

As described above, the heat-sensitive wire of the present invention and the non-contact power supply device including the heat-sensitive wire have been described based on the embodiments thereof, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above-described embodiments, and the gist thereof The configuration can be changed as appropriate without departing from the scope of the invention.
For example, there is a method in which the termination resistor is omitted in the circuit configuration of FIG. 2 and the function is limited only to short circuit detection.
It is also possible to connect a parallel capacitor to the terminating resistor, lower the impedance in the vicinity of the excitation frequency of the feeder line 1, and reduce the induction noise induced in the thermal line 4.
When the heat sensitive wire 4 is laid, an electrostatic capacitance is generated between the heat sensitive wire 4 and the metal portion of the floor surface. In order to reduce the induced current flowing through this electrostatic capacitance, the heat sensitive wire 4 is used as a ferrite toroidal core. Increasing the impedance to the common mode noise through multiple passes enhances the effect of the differential amplifier in the circuit configuration of FIG. 2, and does not depart from the spirit of this embodiment.
Further, it is possible to detect the abnormality of the power receiving coil 2 by installing the heat sensitive wire 4 in close contact with the power receiving coil 2.
It is not deviated from the spirit of the present embodiment to detect the abnormality by arranging the heat sensitive wire 4 in parallel to the wiring from the power receiving coil 2 to the resonance capacitor and the rectifier circuit.
Anomaly detection method using heat-sensitive wire and heat-sensitive wire can be realized in the same way for the equipment on the transport vehicle and on the ground-side equipment, and by using the same members and the same detection device, the safety of the non-contact power feeding device is achieved by a unified concept Can be secured by this embodiment.

  The heat-sensitive wire of the present invention and the non-contact power supply device including the heat-sensitive wire reduce the influence of the magnetic field generated by the exciting current of the non-contact power supply device and reduce the cost of the heat-sensitive wire by using the heat-sensitive wire with the minimum inductance. Since it has a characteristic that it can be reduced, it is suitably applied to, for example, a conveyor device that has a risk of fire due to a temperature rise in a painting line of an automobile body factory or the like in addition to a non-contact power feeding device. be able to.
