It should be noted that, the application scenario of the online monitoring device in the present invention is for a specific power electronic device; specifically, in order to reduce the failure rate of the power electronic device in severe environments such as high and low temperature, humidity and air pollution and prolong the service life of the power electronic device, the power electronic device comprises an isolation device, namely, the isolation box body 01 is sleeved outside the power electronic device needing isolation, so that the normal operation of the power electronic device is prevented from being influenced by the temperature rise after the power electronic device is isolated, the isolation box body 01 is made of metal, and in addition, insulating oil with excellent heat conduction performance is arranged in the isolation box body 01, so that the overhigh temperature of the power electronic device caused by isolation can be avoided.
Although the power electronic device after being isolated is effectively isolated from the external severe environment, the problem that the service life of the power electronic device is reduced due to the failure of the power electronic device caused by the severe environment is solved. However, it is also necessary to perform real-time monitoring for the power electronic device to perform timely pre-determination and alarm for equipment failure, so as to improve the reliability of the power electronic device.
In the present invention, the object of use of the isolation device (i.e., the isolation object) may be a power electronic device that includes devices such as a frequency converter, SVG, UPFC, a rectifier, a direct-current power supply, and is used in a severe environment such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, dust, or air pollution; specifically, the isolated object 02 includes a power electronic power device and a control drive unit; in practical application, the power electronic power device and the control driving unit can adopt an IGBT complete set of modules, so that the power electronic power device and the control driving unit are suitable for working after being soaked in the insulating oil 12 for a long time.
The isolation box body 01 and the insulating oil filled in the isolation box body 01 can effectively isolate the isolation object 02, so that the influence of severe environment on the power electronic device is avoided. Next, in the present invention, the isolation box 01 is further provided with an external connection through hole 11 that can be sealed in an insulating manner, so that the external connection line 12 of the isolation object 02 can be connected to external devices such as an external power supply, a load, and a higher-level controller through the external connection through hole 11 by a sealing member such as an insulating bushing.
The monitoring device comprises a temperature sensor 31 for acquiring temperature data of the insulating oil, an analysis unit 32 for analyzing dissolved gas components in the insulating oil, and a communication unit 33 for transmitting the temperature data and analysis result data to a preset upper computer; can be simultaneously with the real-time transmission of the gas composition data of the temperature data in the isolation box 01 and insulating oil to predetermined host computer in like this, can the host computer just can use the temperature data and the analysis result data received in real time as the parameter, come when keeping apart the inside temperature of box 01 or electrical property and take place unusually according to the algorithm of predetermineeing, real-time formation alarm information to can be timely report to the police to equipment trouble, thereby improve the reliability of power electronic device operation.
As shown in fig. 2, the on-line monitoring device for the power electronic device of the present invention can be used in combination with a preset upper computer 03 to form an on-line monitoring system for the power electronic device, wherein temperature data and analysis result data acquired by the on-line monitoring device can be transmitted to the upper computer 03 through a communication unit 33 in real time; the upper computer 03 in the invention is used as data processing and alarm generating equipment, can take temperature data and analysis result data received from the online monitoring device as parameters, and generates a monitoring result of the isolated object 02 according to a preset algorithm. In practical applications, the communication unit 33 of the on-line monitoring device of the present invention and the upper computer 03 can realize data communication in a wired or wireless manner.
Specifically, the monitoring result in the invention at least comprises a normal state and an abnormal state, and when the monitoring result is abnormal, corresponding alarm information can be generated; the preset algorithm may include a preset temperature threshold range, where the preset temperature threshold range is used to determine a corresponding temperature range of the isolated object under normal conditions; that is, when the current temperature of the isolation object 02 estimated from the temperature data obtained by the upper computer 03 exceeds the preset temperature threshold range, alarm information may be generated to prompt that the temperature of the isolation object 02 (i.e., the monitored power electronic device) is abnormal.
In addition, the upper computer 03 can also obtain analysis result data of gas components in the insulating oil in the isolation box body 01, and the upper computer 03 can judge whether electrical performance abnormity such as discharge and local overheating exists in the isolation box body 01 or not in advance through the analysis result data, so that alarm information can be generated when the electrical performance abnormity exists in the isolation box body 01.
In practical applications, the preset algorithm of the present invention may further include a step of estimating the temperature of the isolated object 02, so that the preset algorithm may include:
s11, carrying out fluid heat transfer calculation by taking temperature data as parameters to obtain an estimated temperature value of the isolated object 02;
in the invention, the temperature estimation value of the isolation object 02 can be obtained by calculating the temperature data in the isolation object 02 and the isolation box body 01 by fluid heat transfer calculation software such as Fluent and the like.
And S12, generating alarm information when the temperature estimation value exceeds the preset temperature threshold range.
In the invention, different preset temperature threshold ranges can be set according to different types of the isolation 02 objects, namely, the normal working condition temperature intervals of different power electronic devices are different. When the temperature estimation value of the isolation object 02 exceeds the preset temperature threshold range, alarm information can be generated in real time to ensure that the fault of the power electronic device can be maintained and eliminated in time in order to protect the equipment and guarantee safe production.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the outer wall of the isolation box 01 of the present invention may further include heat dissipation fins 14; in this way, the problem of temperature rise due to the isolation with respect to the isolation object 02 can be further reduced; furthermore, a convex part 15 can be arranged on the inner wall of the isolation box body 01, so that the contact area of the insulating oil and the isolation box body 01 is increased to improve the heat conduction efficiency;
in a high-temperature severe environment or under the condition that the heat productivity of the isolation object 02 is overlarge, in order to maintain the normal working condition of the isolation object 02, further, the isolation device in the invention can also comprise an insulating oil displacement mechanism; the insulating oil displacement mechanism realizes displacement of the insulating oil inside and outside the isolation box body 01 through an oil inlet 16 and an oil outlet 17 which are arranged on the isolation box body 01. Thus, by replacing the insulating oil in the isolation tank 01, the ambient temperature of the isolation object 02 can be rapidly reduced, and the temperature of the isolation object 02 can be prevented from being too high.
Preferably, the insulating oil replacing mechanism in the present invention may further include an automatic control unit (not shown in the drawings); the automatic control unit controls the opening and closing of the insulating oil replacement mechanism according to a control instruction generated by the temperature data. Specifically, after the temperature sensor 31 collects the temperature data, the upper computer generates a monitoring result of the isolated object according to a preset algorithm by using the temperature data as a parameter; when the monitoring result is abnormal, for example, when the monitoring result is that the current temperature of the isolated object is judged to be over standard, corresponding alarm information is generated; a communication unit in the online monitoring device acquires the alarm information; the automatic control unit generates a corresponding control instruction according to the alarm information generated by the temperature data; like this, when just can realizing that the host computer produces alarm information, automatic control unit can be timely starts insulating oil replacement mechanism by oneself and comes to replace the high temperature insulating oil in the isolation box to carry out real-time cooling to isolation object 02, thereby can come to protect power electronic device the very first time, avoid this power electronic device overtemperature damage.
Preferably, a guide pipe can be arranged in the isolation box body 01; the guide pipe comprises a conveying part 18 and a drainage part 19; one end of the conveying part 18 is communicated with the oil outlet 16, and the drainage part 19 is arranged at a position close to the isolation object 02; different locations of the drain 19 include a plurality of drainage holes. When the temperature of the isolation object 02 is too high, the temperature of the insulating oil closest to the isolation object 02 is the highest, and the replacement of the high-temperature insulating oil can be accelerated through the flow guide pipe, so that the speed and the efficiency of temperature control on the isolation object 02 are accelerated.
In order to make the replacement speed of the insulating oil in the vicinity of each position of the isolation object 02 uniform, in practical application, the distribution mode of the plurality of drainage holes may be further set as follows: drainage holes in the drainage portion 19 near one end of the delivery portion 18 are distributed less densely than at the other end. Specifically, if the densities of the plurality of drainage holes are the same, when the insulating oil is pumped out through the conveying part 18, the negative pressure of the drainage holes close to the conveying part 18 is large, and further, the flow rate is high, and the flow rate of the drainage holes far away from the conveying part 18 is low, so that the positions of the isolation object 02 cannot be synchronously cooled. The distribution density of the drainage holes close to one end of the conveying part 18 can be set to be smaller than that of the drainage holes at the other end, so that the replacement speed of the insulating oil near each position of the isolation object 02 can be consistent, and the cooling effect on the isolation object 02 is improved.
Furthermore, when the volume of the isolation object is larger, the drainage part can be designed to comprise a plurality of branches, so that the temperature of the isolation object can be controlled more uniformly and efficiently.
The application environment of the invention is severe, for example, in a humid environment, after moisture enters the isolation box body, the electric fields of unstable high-frequency pulse and the like can cause the insulating oil to generate impurities in the isolation box body due to electric power decomposition, thereby causing the reduction of the insulating resistance and the reduction of the insulating strength, further reducing the breakdown voltage of the insulating oil, and further leading the working performance of an isolation object to be reduced; for this purpose, in the present invention, an oil filter (not shown) may be further provided to filter the exchanged insulating oil; specifically, the oil filter is communicated with the insulating oil displacement mechanism, so that the insulating oil displaced by the isolation box body can be effectively filtered.
In summary, the application scenario of the online monitoring device in the present invention is for a specific power electronic device; specifically, in order to reduce the failure rate of the power electronic device in severe environments such as high and low temperature, humidity and air pollution and prolong the service life of the power electronic device, the power electronic device comprises an isolation device, namely, an isolation box body is sleeved outside the power electronic device needing isolation, so that the normal operation of the power electronic device is prevented from being influenced by the temperature rise after the power electronic device is isolated, the isolation box body is made of metal, and in addition, insulating oil with excellent heat conduction performance is arranged in the isolation box body, so that the over-high temperature of the power electronic device caused by isolation can be avoided.
Although the power electronic device after being isolated is effectively isolated from the external severe environment, the problem that the service life of the power electronic device is reduced due to the failure of the power electronic device caused by the severe environment is solved. However, it is also necessary to perform real-time monitoring for the power electronic device to perform timely pre-determination and alarm for equipment failure, so as to improve the reliability of the power electronic device.
