TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the technical field of electric power, in particular to a gas density relay with an online self-check function, a check method thereof and a modification method for the gas density relay applied to high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical equipment.

BACKGROUND

At present, SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) electrical equipment has been widely applied to electric power departments and industrial and mining enterprises, and has promoted rapid development of electric power industry. With the rapid development of economy, the capacity of electric power systems in China has expanded rapidly in recent years, and more and more SF6 electrical equipment is consumed. SF6 gas functions in arc extinction and insulation in high-voltage electrical equipment, and safety operation of the SF6 high-voltage electrical equipment is severely affected if the density of SF6 gas in the high-voltage electrical equipment is reduced and micro-water content exceeds standards: 1) insulation and arc extinction performances are lost if the density of SF6 gas is reduced to a certain degree. 2) With the participation of some metals, SF6 gas can hydrolyze with water at a temperature above 200° C., generate active HF and SOF₂, corrode insulating parts and metal parts and generate a lot of heat to increase the pressure of the air chamber. 3) When the temperature is reduced, excessive water may form condensed water, which significantly reduces the surface insulation strength of the insulating parts, and even causes flashover and serious harm. Therefore, the power grid operating procedure compulsively stipulates that the density of SF6 gas and the water content should be tested regularly before and during operation of the equipment.

The networked and digital development of unattended substations and the increasingly rising requirements for remote control and telemetry are of vital practical significance for online monitoring of the gas density and the micro-water content of the SF6 electrical equipment. With the continuous rapid development of China's smart power grids, as an important component and key node of a smart substation, smart high-voltage electrical equipment plays a pivotal role in the safety of the smart power grids. At present, most high-voltage electrical equipment is SF6 gas insulation equipment. If the gas density is reduced (due to leakage and the like), the electrical performance of the equipment is severely affected, which causes serious potential hazards in safety operation. At present, online monitoring of gas density values in the SF6 high-voltage electrical equipment has been extremely widespread, so that application of gas density monitoring systems (gas density relays) is flourishing. However, the current gas density monitoring systems (gas density relays) basically function in: 1) Acquiring and uploading density, pressure and temperature by the aid of remote-transmission SF6 gas density relays, so as to realize online monitoring of the gas density. 2) Acquiring and uploading density, pressure and temperature by the aid of gas density transmitters, so as to realize online monitoring of the gas density. The SF6 gas density relays are core and critical components. However, due to the harsh environment of field operation of high-voltage substations, particularly strong electromagnetic interference, among the gas density monitoring systems (gas density relays) that are used currently, the remote-transmission SF6 gas density relays include mechanical density relays and electronic remote transmission parts; in addition, traditional mechanical density relays are still retained in power grid systems using the gas density transmitters. The mechanical density relays are provided with one group, two groups or three groups of mechanical contacts, information can be transmitted to a target equipment terminal through a contact connecting circuit when pressure reaches the state of alarm, blocking or overpressure, and safety operation of the equipment is ensured. Meanwhile, the monitoring systems have safe and reliable circuit transmission functions. An effective platform is built to achieve real-time data and remote data reading and information monitoring, and information such as pressure, temperature and density can be timely transmitted to target equipment (such as a computer terminal), so as to realize online monitoring.

Regularly checking the gas density relays on the electrical equipment is a necessary measure for nipping in the bud and guaranteeing safe and reliable operation of the electrical equipment. Both Preventive Test Procedure for Electric Power and Twenty-five Key Requirements for Preventing Major Accidents in Electric Power Production require regular checking for the gas density relays. According to practical operation, regularly checking the gas density relays is one of necessary measures for guaranteeing safe and reliable operation of the electrical equipment. Therefore, check of the gas density relays has been already attached great importance to and popularized at present, and various power supply companies, power plants and large factory and mining enterprises have already implemented check of the gas density relays. In order to achieve field check and detection of the gas density relays, the power supply companies, the power plants and the large factory and mining enterprises require testers, equipment vehicles and high-value SF6 gas. According to rough calculation, including business loss due to power outage during detection, the annually shared detection cost of each high-voltage switching station is around tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands yuan. In addition, there are potential safety hazards if testers do not perform standard operation during field check. Therefore, it is quite necessary to innovate in existing gas density relays with gas density self-check functions, particularly in the gas density online self-check gas density relays or systems, so that the gas density relays realizing online monitoring of the gas density or composed monitoring systems also have the check function of gas density relays, so as to achieve regular check operation of the (mechanical) gas density relays.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the purpose, the technical scheme and the advantages of the invention more clear and definite, the invention is further elaborated hereafter with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the invention, and cannot play a role in limiting the invention.

Embodiment I

FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a gas density relay with an online self-check function for high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical equipment in an embodiment I. As shown in FIG. 1, the gas density relay with the online self-check function includes a gas density relay body 1, and the gas density relay body 1 includes a housing 101, and a base 102, an end seat 108, a pressure detector 103, a temperature compensation element 104, a plurality of signal generators 109, a movement 105, a pointer 106 and a dial 107 which are arranged in the housing 101. One end of the pressure detector 103 is fixed onto the base 102 and communicated with the same, the other end of the pressure detector 103 is connected with one end of the temperature compensation element 104 through the end seat 108, a beam is arranged at the other end of the temperature compensation element 104, and a regulating part for pushing the signal generators 109 is arranged on the beam, so that contacts of the signal generators 109 are connected or disconnected. The movement 105 is fixed onto the base 102; the other end of the temperature compensation element 104 is connected with the movement 105 through a connecting rod or directly connected with the movement 105; the pointer 106 is mounted on the movement 105 and arranged in the front of the dial 107, and the pointer 106 and the dial 107 display gas density values. The gas density relay body 1 may further include a digital device or liquid crystal device with an indicating value display function.

Besides, the gas density relay further includes a pressure sensor 2, a temperature transducer 3, a temperature regulating mechanism 5, an online check contact signal sampling unit 6 and an intelligent control unit 7. The pressure sensor 2 is communicated with the pressure detector 103 on the gas path; the temperature regulating mechanism 5 is arranged in the housing 101 (on the housing 101); the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 is respectively connected with the signal generators 109 and the intelligent control unit 7; the temperature transducer 3 is arranged in the housing 101; the pressure sensor 2, the temperature transducer 3 and the temperature regulating mechanism 5 are respectively connected with the intelligent control unit 7. The temperature regulating mechanism 5 mainly includes a heating element 501 and a temperature regulating mechanism outer shell 503.

Each signal generator 109 includes a microswitch or a magnetic assisted electrical contact, and the gas density relay body 1 outputs contact signals through the signal generators 109; the pressure detector 103 includes a Bourdon tube or bellow; the temperature compensation element 104 adopts a temperature compensation piece or gas sealed in the housing. The gas density relay of the present application may further include: an oil-filled density relay, an oil-free density relay, a gas density meter, a gas density switch or a gas pressure meter.

In the gas density relay of the embodiment, changed pressure includerature are corrected via the temperature compensation element 104 based on the pressure detector 103, so as to reflect the change of sulfur hexafluoride gas density. Namely, under the pressure action of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as a measured medium, owing to the action of the temperature compensation element 104, when the gas density value of sulfur hexafluoride changes, the pressure value of the sulfur hexafluoride gas correspondingly changes to force the tail end of the pressure detector 103 to generate corresponding elastic deformation displacement, which is transmitted to the movement 105 via the temperature compensation element 104 and then transmitted to the pointer 106 via the movement 105, so that the gas density value of the measured sulfur hexafluoride is indicated on the dial 107. The signal generators 109 serve as output alarm blocking contacts. Therefore, the gas density relay body 1 can display the gas density value of the sulfur hexafluoride. In case of gas leakage and reduction of the gas density value of the sulfur hexafluoride, the pressure detector 103 generates regulatinging downward displacement, which is transmitted to the movement 105 via the temperature compensation element 104 and then transmitted to the pointer 106 via the movement 105, the pointer 106 moves towards small indicating values, and the degree of gas leakage is displayed on the dial 107 specifically; at the same time, the pressure detector 103 drives the beam to displace downwards via the temperature compensation element 104, a regulating part on the beam drifts away from the signal generators 109 to a certain degree, contacts of the signal generators 109 are connected to transmit corresponding contact signals (alarm or blocking) and accordingly monitor and control the gas density of the sulfur hexafluoride in the equipment such as an electrical switch, and then the electrical equipment can work safely.

If the gas density value rises, namely, when the pressure value of the sulfur hexafluoride gas in the sealed air chamber is higher than the set pressure value of the sulfur hexafluoride gas, the pressure value rises correspondingly, the tail end of the pressure detector 103 and the temperature compensation element 104 displace upwards correspondingly, the temperature compensation element 104 enables the beam to displace upwards, the regulating part on the beam displaces upwards and pushes the contacts of the signal generator 109 to be disconnected, and the contact signals (alarm or blocking) are removed.

In short, the temperature transducer, the temperature transmitter and various temperature sensing elements can be used for the temperature collection.

The online check contact signal sampling unit 6 mainly completes the contact signal sampling of the gas density relay body 1. Namely, the basic requirements or functions of the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 are as follows: 1) The safe operation of the electrical equipment is not affected during check, that is, the safe operation of the electrical equipment is not affected when the contact signal of the gas density relay body 1 acts during check; 2) The contact signal control loop of the gas density relay body 1 does not affect the performance of the gas density relay, especially the performance of the intelligent control unit 7, not damage the gas density relay or affect the test work.

The basic requirements or functions of the intelligent control unit 7 are as follows: the control and signal collection of the temperature regulating mechanism 5 (even the pressure regulating mechanism 11) are completed via the intelligent control unit 7. Realize: when the contact signal of the gas density relay body 1 acts, the pressure value and the temperature value can be detected, then converted into the corresponding pressure value P₂₀(density value) at 20° C., that is, the contact operating value P_D20of the gas density relay body 1 can be detected, so as to complete the check of the gas density relay body 1. Alternatively, it can directly detect the density value P_D20when the contact signal of the gas density relay body 1 acts, and complete the check of the gas density relay body 1. at the same time, the self-check of the gas density relay body 1, the pressure sensor 2 and the temperature transducer 3 may be completed via testing the rated pressure value of the gas density relay body 1, so as to realize free maintenance.

Of course, the intelligent control unit 7 can also realize: storing test data; and/or exporting the test data; and/or printing the test data; and/or data communication with an upper computer; and/or inputting analog and digital information. The intelligent control unit 7 may also include a communication module, through which the remote transmission of the test data and/or the check results and other information can be realized; when the rated pressure value of the gas density relay body 1 outputs a signal, the intelligent control unit 7 collects the density value at the that time to complete the check of the rated pressure value of the gas density relay body 1.

The electrical equipment includes SF6 gas electrical equipment, SF6 mixed gas electrical equipment, environmental protection gas electrical equipment, or other insulating gas electrical equipment. Specifically, the electrical equipment includes GIS, GIL, PASS, a circuit breaker, a current transformer, a voltage transformer, a transformer, an inflatable cabinet and a ring main unit, etc.

The gas density relay body 1, the pressure sensor 2, the temperature transducer 3, the temperature regulating mechanism 5, the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 and the intelligent control unit 7 can be flexibly arranged according to the needs. For example, the gas density relay body 1, the pressure sensor 2 and the temperature transducer 3 can be arranged together; or the gas density relay body 1 and the pressure regulating mechanism 5 can be arranged together; and in short, they can be flexibly arranged and combined.

In this embodiment, the check and monitoring principles of the gas density relay with the online check function are as follows:

The intelligent control unit 7 monitors the gas pressure P and temperature T of the electrical equipment with pressure sensor 2 and temperature transducer 3, and obtains the pressure value P₂₀(i.e. gas density value) under the corresponding temperature of 20° C. When the gas relay 1 is required and/or may be checked, at this time, if the gas density value P₂₀is greater than or equal to the setting safety check density value P_S, the gas density relay may send out a command, this is, the control loop of the gas density relay body 1 is disconnected via the intelligent control unit 7, so that the safe operation of the electrical equipment is not affected during the online check of the gas density relay body 1, and an alarm signal is not sent by mistake, or the control loop is locked during the check. Before verifying the gas density relay, it has monitored and judged that the gas density value P₂₀is greater than or equal to the setting safety check density value, the gas of the electrical equipment is the range of the safe operation, in addition, the gas leakage is a slow process, so the electrical equipment is safe during check. At the same time, the intelligent control unit 7 is communicated with the contact sampling circuit of the gas density relay body 1, then the intelligent control unit 7 operates or controls the temperature regulating mechanism 5, so that the temperature of the gas density relay rises, then the temperature of the temperature compensationelement of the gas density relay body 1 rises. When the temperature closes to the operating value, the temperature change speed is not greater than 1.0° C./s (even not greater than 0.5° C./s, or this requirement is set according to the needs), namely, the temperature is required to rise or fall stably. Until a contact action occurs to the gas density relay body 1, the contact action is delivered to the intelligent control unit 7 via the online check contact signal sampling unit 6. The intelligent control unit 7 obtains the gas density value according to the pressure value and temperature value when the contact acts, or obtains the gas density value directly, detects the contact signal operating value of the gas density relay, and completes the check of the contact signal operating value of the gas density relay. For example, for the gas density relay with the density relay parameter of 0.6/0.52/0.50 MPa (the related value is 0.6 MPa/the alarm pressure value is 0.52 MPa/the alarm pressure value is 0.50 MPa, relative pressure), when the environment temperature is 5° C., the gas pressure of the gas chamber of the electrical equipment is 0.5562 MPa (relative pressure), the pressure value is unchanged in the check system at this time. When the temperature rises to 29.5° C., the alarm contact sends out an action, the intelligent control unit 7 can obtain the alarm contact operating value 0.5317 MPa (relative pressure) of the gas density value according to the pressure value 0.5562 MPa (relative pressure) and the temperature value 29.5° C. when the contact acts, then the intelligent control unit 7 can obtain the error of the alarm contact operating value: 0.0117 MPa (0.5317 MPa-0.52 MPa=0.0117 MPa), so as to complete the check of the alarm contact operating value of the gas density relay.

The temperature regulating mechanism 5 is controlled and operated via the intelligent control unit 7, so that the temperature of the gas density relay is reduced, then the temperature of the temperature compensationelement of the gas density relay body 1 is reduced, so that a contact reset occurs to the gas density relay body 1, then the contact reset is delivered to the intelligent control unit 7 via the online check contact signal sampling unit 6. The intelligent control unit 7 obtains the gas density value according to the pressure value and the temperature value when the contact resets, or obtains the gas density value directly, detects the contact signal return value of the gas density relay body 1, and completes the check of the contact signal return value of the gas density relay. For example, for the gas density relay with the density relay parameter of 0.6/0.52/0.50 MPa (the related value is 0.6 MPa/the alarm pressure value is 0.52 MPa/the alarm pressure value is 0.50 MPa, relative pressure), when the environment temperature is 5° C., the gas pressure in the electrical equipment is 0.5562 MPa (relative pressure), the pressure value is unchanged in the check system at this time. When the temperature falls to 24.8° C., a contact reset occurs to the alarm contact, the intelligent control unit 7 can obtain the alarm contact return value 0.5435 MPa (relative pressure) of the gas density value according to the pressure value 0.5562 MPa (relative pressure) and the temperature value 24.8° C. when the contact resets, then the intelligent control unit 7 can obtain the switching error of the alarm contact: 0.0118 MPa (0.5435 MPa-0.5317 MPa=0.0118 MPa), thus the check of the alarm contact operating value of the gas density relay is basically completed. According to the requirements and the check results (check data), the intelligent control unit 7 can judge the performance of the checked gas density relay (qualified or unqualified). After verifying for many times (such as 2-3 times), the average value is calculated, thus the check of the gas density relay body 1 is completed. And then the intelligent control unit 7 disconnects the contact sampling circuit of the gas density relay body 1, at this time, the contact of the gas density relay body 1 is not connected to the intelligent control unit 7. At the same time, the heating element of the temperature regulating mechanism is turned off via the intelligent control unit 7, the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 is adjusted to the working state, and the control loop of the contact signal of the gas density relay body 1 recovers to the normal working state. Namely, the control loop of the gas density relay body 1 is communicated via the intelligent control unit 7, the density monitoring loop of the gas density relay body works normally, and the gas density relay body 1 monitors the gas density of the electrical equipment safely, so that the electrical equipment works safely and reliably. Thus, the online check of the gas density relay body 1 is conveniently completed, at the same time, the safe operation of the electrical equipment is not affected during the online check of the gas density relay body 1.

When the gas density relay body 1 completes the check, the gas density relay (or the gas density monitoring device) performs judgment and informs the testing result, and the way is flexible. Specifically: 1) the gas density relay (or the gas density monitoring device) can be notified locally, for example, be displayed via an indicator light, a digital display, or a liquid crystal display; 2) or be uploaded via an online remote communication, for example, uploaded to a background of the online monitoring system; 3) or be uploaded wirelessly to a specific terminal, for example, be uploaded wirelessly to a mobile phone; 4) or be uploaded via other channels; 5) or upload an abnormal result via an alarm signal wire, or a special signal wire; 6) or upload the abnormal result separately, or upload the abnormal result bundled with other signals. In short, after the gas density relay (or the gas density monitoring device) completes the online check of the gas density relay, if an abnormality is provided, the electrical system can automatically send an alarm, can upload the abnormality to a distal end, or can send the abnormality to a designated receiver, such as the mobile phone. Or, after the gas density relay body (or the gas density monitoring device) completes the check, if an abnormality is provided, the intelligent control unit 7 can be uploaded to a distal end (monitoring room, background monitoring platform, etc.) via the alarm contact signal of the gas density relay body 1, and the notice may be locally displayed. For the online check of the simple gas density relay, the abnormal check result can be uploaded via the alarm signal line. The abnormal check result can be uploaded regularly. If an abnormality is provided, a contact is connected to the alarm signal contact in parallel to be closed and disconnected regularly, and the condition can be obtained via analysis; or abnormal check result is uploaded by the independent check signal line. Specifically, the upload may be performed for the good state or the problem, or the check result is uploaded via the separate check signal line, or locally displayed, locally alarmed, uploaded wirelessly, or uploaded in networking with a smartphone. The communication way is wire or wireless, the wire communication way may be RS232, RS485, CAN-BUS and other industrial buses, optical fiber ethernet, 4-20 mA, Hart, IIC, SPI, Wire, a coaxial cable, an PLC power line carrier, etc. The wireless communication way may be 2G/3G/4G/5G, WIFI, Bluetooth, Lora, Lorawan, Zigbee, infrared, ultrasonic, acoustic, satellite, light wave, quantum communication, sonar, a sensor built-in 5G/NB-iot communication module (such as NB-iot), etc. In short, it may be multiple ways and a plurality of combinations, to ensure the reliable performance of the gas density relay completely.

The gas density relay has the function of safety protection, that is, when lower than the setting value, the gas density relay automatically stops the online check of the density relay and sends out a notice signal For example, when the gas density value of the equipment is less than the setting value PS, the check stops, only when the gas density value of the equipment is greater than or equal to (the alarm pressure value +0.02 MPa), the online check can be performed.

The gas density relay can perform the online check according to the setting time, or perform the online check according to the setting temperature (such as extreme high temperature, high temperature, extreme low temperature, low temperature, normal temperature, 20° c., etc.). The error judgment requirements are different for online check at high temperature, low temperature, normal temperature and 20° C. ambient temperature. For example, for check at 20° C. ambient temperature, the accuracy requirements of gas density relay can be level 1.0 or 1.6, or level 2.5 at high temperature. Specifically, it can be implemented according to the temperature requirements and the related standards. For example, according to the regulations of the temperature compensation performance in article 4.8 of DL/T 259 Calibration Regulation for SF6 Gas Density Monitor, and the precision requirement corresponding to each temperature value.

The gas density relay can compare its error performance in different time periods under different temperatures, namely, compare in the same temperature range of different periods, to judge the performance of the gas density relay and the electrical equipment. Specifically, comparison of various periods and comparison of history and present.

The gas density relay can be verified for many times (such as 2-3 times), and the average value is calculated according to each check result. If necessary, online check may be carried out to the gas density relay at any time.

At the same time, the gas density relay may also monitor the gas density value of the electrical equipment online, and/or pressure value, and/or temperature value, and upload to the target equipment to realize online monitoring.

One end of the valve 4 is hermetically connected to the electrical equipment 8, and the other end of the valve 4 is connected to the multichannel joint 9.

Different from the embodiment I, this embodiment further includes the valve 4 and the pressure regulating mechanism 11. The pressure regulating mechanism 11 includes a piston 1101, a drive mechanism 1102 and a sealing ring 1110. The piston 1101 is driven to move in the pressure regulating mechanism via the drive mechanism 1102, and then the pressure rising and falling can be completed.

The working principle is as follows: the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 is adjusted to the check state via by the intelligent control unit 7. Under the check state, the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 cuts off the control loop of the contact signal of the gas density relay body 1, so that the contact of the gas density relay body 1 is connected to the intelligent control unit 7. The valve between the gas density relay body 1 and the electrical equipment 8 is closed via the intelligent control unit 7. The pressure regulating mechanism 11 is driven by the intelligent control unit 7, so that the pressure of the gas density relay falls slowly, and after falling to the target pressure value, this operation can stop. Then, the temperature regulating mechanism 5 is controlled and operated via the intelligent control unit 7, so that the temperature of the gas density relay body 1 rises, then the temperature of the temperature compensation element of the gas density relay body 1 rises, so that a contact action occurs to the gas density relay body 1, and the contact action is delivered to the intelligent control unit 7 via the online check contact signal sampling unit 6. The intelligent control unit 7 obtains the gas density value according to the pressure value and the temperature value when the contact acts, or obtains the gas density value directly, detects the contact signal operating value of the gas density relay, and completes the check of the contact signal operating value of the gas density relay, and this operation is similar to the embodiment I.

Different from the embodiment I, there are two pressure sensors, which are the first pressure sensor 21 and the second pressure sensor 22, and there are two temperature transducers, which are the first temperature transducer 31 and the second temperature transducer 32 The embodiment provides a plurality of pressure sensors and temperature transducers for the following purpose: the pressure values obtained by monitoring the first pressure sensor 21 and the second pressure sensor 22 may be compared and mutually checked. The temperature values obtained by monitoring the first temperature transducer 31 and the second temperature transducer 32 may be compared and mutually checked.

A degree of deviation may be set, so as to heat or refrigerate in advance. When measuring the gas density relay contact signal operating value and closing to the operating value, the change speed of the temperature in the temperature regulating mechanism 5 is not greater than 1.0° C./s (even not greater than 0.5° C./s, or set this requirement according to the demands), that is, the temperature is required to rise or fall stably.

Under the check state, the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 cuts off the control loop of the contact signal of the gas density relay body 1, so that the contact of the gas density relay body 1 is connected to the intelligent control unit 7. The temperature regulating mechanism 5 is controlled via the intelligent control unit 7, so that the gas temperature of the gas density relay rises, after rising to the setting value (for example, the setting value temperature is 70° C.), the valve 4 is closed via the intelligent control unit 7. After the gas temperature or pressure of the gas density relay falls to a suitable value (for example, the ambient temperature is 12° C.), the temperature regulating mechanism 5 is controlled again via the intelligent control unit 7, so that the temperature of the gas density relay rises, then the temperature of the temperature compensation element of the gas density relay body 1 rises (assuming rise to 45.6° C.), so a contact action occurs to the gas density relay body.

Under the check state, the online check contact signal sampling unit 6 cuts off the control loop of the contact signal of the gas density relay body 1, so that the contact of the gas density relay body 1 is connected to the intelligent control unit 7. Control heating by heating member 1108 with the intelligent control unit 7, which leads to change in temperature of the gas in the air chamber in the connecting pipe 1011 between the valve 4 and the gas density relay body 1. Use the intelligent control unit 7 to shut off the valve 4 after reaching the setting value, and then use intelligent control unit 7 to turn off the heating member 1108. After the temperature or pressure of the air chamber in the connecting pipe 1011 falls to a suitable value (for example, the ambient temperature is −10° C.), the temperature regulating mechanism 5 is controlled via the intelligent control unit 7, so that the temperature of the gas density relay rises, then the temperature of the temperature compensation element of the gas density relay body 1 rises (assuming rise to 38.5° C.), so that a contact action occurs to the gas density relay body 1, and the contact action is delivered to the intelligent control unit 7 via the online check contact signal sampling unit 6. The intelligent control unit 7 obtains the gas density value according to the pressure value and the temperature value when the contact acts, or obtains the gas density value directly, detects the contact signal operating value of the gas density relay body 1, and completes the check of the contact signal operating value of the gas density relay.
