Through a recursive wavelet, a fault of the relay may be determined at 8 sampling points. In this way, the fault may be quickly positioned, and a measure may be taken.

(9) With reference to FIG. 1, an intermediate relay maloperation preventing device based on an improved recursive wavelet algorithm includes a power supply module U01, a voltage sampling circuit U02, an analog-to-digital conversion module U03, a DSP module U04, and a relay maloperation signal shielding module U05.

(10) The power supply module U01 is configured to supply power to the DSP module U04, the voltage sampling circuit U02, the analog-to-digital conversion module U03, the DSP module, and the relay maloperation signal shielding module U05. In the embodiments of the disclosure, the power supply module U01 may a 5V direct current voltage and a 3.3V direct current voltage for power supply. The 5V direct current voltage is used to power the relay maloperation signal shielding module, and the 3.3V direct current voltage is used to power the DSP module U04 and the analog-to-digital conversion module U03.

(11) The voltage sampling circuit U02 is connected to the analog-to-digital conversion module U03. The analog-to-digital conversion module U03 is connected to the DSP module U04. The DSP module U04 is connected to the relay maloperation signal shielding module U05.

(12) The voltage sampling circuit U02 samples a terminal voltage of an intermediate relay. The DSP module U04 sends a sampling instruction to the analog-to-digital conversion module U03, and the analog-to-digital conversion module U03 receives the instruction and starts sampling. The analog-to-digital conversion module U03 converts a collected voltage analog quantity into a digital signal and transmits the digital signal to the DSP module U04. The DSP module performs a recursive wavelet transform on a signal, determines a fault type through an amplitude of the recursive wavelet transform, and sends a control signal through the relay maloperation signal shielding module U05 to shield a relay operation signal.

(13) With reference to FIG. 2, the voltage sampling circuit U02 includes 2 high-precision sampling resistors U021 and U022. The sampling resistors are connected in series first and then are connected in parallel at two terminals of the relay. As in a general case, 100-ohm and 5-ohm resistors are selected to act as the sampling resistors in the embodiments of the disclosure, and the model numbers respectively are EE1/20-10R-F-C3 and EE1/20-100R-F-C3.

(14) With reference to FIG. 3, the analog-to-digital conversion module U03 uses a 16-channel 12-bit ADC module. As in a general case, the analog-to-digital conversion module built into the DSP is selected herein.

(15) With reference to FIG. 3, as in a general case, a DSP with a model number of TMS320F28235 is selected to act as the DSP module U04.

As in a general case, the model number of Risym ADS1115 is selected for the digital-to-analog conversion module, and Risym LM358 having a gain of 100 is selected for a voltage amplifier module.

(17) With reference to FIG. 5, a method of preventing a relay maloperation by using the intermediate relay maloperation preventing device based on the improved recursive wavelet algorithm includes the following steps.

(18) In step (1), the terminal voltage of the relay is divided through a voltage-dividing resistor in the voltage sampling circuit U02. The terminal voltage of the resistor U021 having a smaller voltage divider resistance is used for sampling an analog-to-digital conversion module voltage. A terminal voltage amplitude of the relay is:

(19) $U_0=\frac{U_{R_1}\left(R_1+R_2\right)}{R_1},$
where U.sub.0 is a relay terminal voltage, U.sub.R, is a sampling resistor voltage, R.sub.1 is a sampling resistance, and R.sub.2 is a voltage divider resistance.

(20) In step (2), the DSP module U04 sends a sampling instruction to the analog-to-digital conversion module U03. The analog-to-digital conversion module U03 receives the sampling instruction, samples the relay terminal voltage, sends a collected voltage signal to the DSP module U04 after analog-to-digital conversion, and goes to step (3).

(21) In step (3), an improved recursive wavelet transform is performed on the signal in the DSP module U04, an amplitude of the recursive wavelet is obtained, and step (4) is then performed.

(22) The improved recursive wavelet transform is:

(23) An expression of a mother wavelet of the recursive wavelet is:

(24) $\begin{array}{cc}\psi \left(t\right)=\left(\frac{{\eta }^4{t}^4}{12}-\frac{{\eta }^5{t}^5}{30}+\frac{{\eta }^6{t}^6}{90}\right).Math.e^{\left(-\eta t+{\mathrm{jw}}_{0}t\right)}.Math.u\left(t\right).& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

(25) In order to make the mother wavelet meet an allowable condition, let

(26) $\frac{{\omega }_0}{\eta }=\sqrt{3}.$
Herein, η=2π/√{square root over (3)}, where ω.sub.0 is a signal frequency, η is a coefficient of Newton-Cortez formula, and u(t) is a step function. A wavelet scale factor α is added, a Fourier transform is performed, and the following is obtained:

(27) $\begin{array}{cc}{\psi }_a\left(w\right)=\sqrt{a}.Math.\frac{6{\eta }^6-2{{\eta }^4\left[a\left(w-2\pi f\right)\right]}^2}{{\left[\eta +\mathrm{ja}\left(w-2\pi f\right)\right]}^7}.& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

(28) Discretization is performed on the wavelet. T is a sampling cycle. A translation parameter k is introduced. A discrete sequence convolution is detected through formula (5) to obtain:

(29) $\begin{array}{cc}{W}_{a,k}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}.Math.T.Math.\left[x\left(k\right)*\psi \left(k\right)\right].& \left(3\right)\end{array}$
Z transforms performed to formula (3) include:

(30) $\begin{array}{cc}W\left(z\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}.Math.T.Math.x\left(z\right)\psi \left(z\right)\psi \left(z\right)=\underset{i=1}{\overset{6}{.Math.}}{\eta }_i{z}^{-i}/1+\underset{j=1}{\overset{7}{.Math.}}{\lambda }_j{z}^{-j}.& \left(4\right)\end{array}$
In the formulas, η.sub.i and λ.sub.j are corresponding Z transform coefficients.
An improved fast recursive wavelet transform formula is:

(31) $\begin{array}{cc}W\left(a,k\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}.Math.T.Math.\left[\underset{i=1}{\overset{6}{.Math.}}{\eta }_{i}x\left(k-i\right)-\underset{i=1}{\overset{7}{.Math.}}{\lambda }_{j}W\left(k-j\right)\right].& \left(5\right)\end{array}$

(32) Through the recursive wavelet transforms performed through formulas (1) to (4), a recursive wavelet amplitude is obtained, and such amplitude is U.sub.IRTW.

(33) In step (4), values of a recursive wavelet amplitude U.sub.IRWT_MAX (referring to a maximum recursive wavelet value to be achieved by sampling data, and if the maximum value reaches a threshold interval, it may be determined that whether a maloperation occurs) and a threshold of a normal operation are determined, and if U.sub.IRWT_MAX>δ.sub.4, step (5) is performed; otherwise, step (7) is performed.

(34) The threshold in step (4) is defined by detecting an operation voltage of the relay. 50% to 70% of a relay fault voltage is treated as a threshold voltage. First, a relay normal operation recursive wavelet voltage amplitude U.sub.IRTW_S (a standard recursive wavelet value calculated through the rated voltage, configured to calculate a fault interval to obtain the fault threshold interval) is obtained through a relay rated voltage U0 and formulas (1) to (4). Generally, a high-resistance ground fault amplitude is 50% to 70% of the U.sub.IRTW_S. A short circuit fault is 80% to 90% of the U.sub.IRTW_S, and alternating current crosstalk is −150% of the U.sub.IRTW_S.

(35) In step (5), the recursive wavelet amplitude and a fault recursive wavelet amplitude are compared to determine a fault type.

(36) Further, if the threshold is greater than or equal to δ.sub.0 and less than δ.sub.1, the relay shows a high-resistance ground fault. If the threshold is greater than or equal to δ.sub.1 and less than δ.sub.2, the relay shows a ground short circuit fault. If the threshold is less than −δ.sub.3, the fault is alternating current crosstalk. δ.sub.0 is 50% to 70% of U.sub.IRTW_S (recursive wavelet normal voltage amplitude), δ.sub.1 is 80% to 90% of U.sub.IRTW_S, δ.sub.3 is 100% of U.sub.IRTW_S, and δ.sub.4 is −150% of U.sub.IRTW_S.

(37) In step (6), the relay maloperation signal shielding module U05 sends a shielding signal, pulls down a relay operation signal, and prevents a maloperation of the relay. Step (1) is performed again to continue sampling.

(38) Step (7) is completed, and step (8) is then performed.

(39) Step (8) ends.
