Modelling and Parameters Identification of Through-Hole Type Wind Turbine Contactless Sliprings

This paper presents a modelling and parameter identification of through-hole type contactless slipring systems for transferring electrical power for wind turbine pitch control. An equivalent circuit model has been developed from the physical structure and dimensions of the contactless slipring using the duality rules, which is very different form traditional transformer. The circuit inductances are determined by the derived expressions from the system reluctances. In particular, the equivalent resistance representing the core loss of the slipring has been determined using phasor diagram of exciting current. FEM (Finite Element Method) models and practical prototypes are developed for testing and verifycations. Both simulation and experimental results have shown that the developed model gives truthful values for numerical calculations in order to obtain the equivalent electric circuit. The effect of fringing flux around the air gap on mutual inductance and the ways of correcting its effects are analysed. The obtained values have shown that the developed models and derived equations are with high accuracy as compared to the FEM simulation and experimental results.

Wireless contactless pressure measurement of an LC passive pressure sensor with a novel antenna for high-temperature applications

In this paper, a novel antenna is proposed for high-temperature testing, which can make the high-temperature pressure characteristics of a wireless passive ceramic pressure sensor demonstrated at up to a temperature of 600℃. The design parameters of the antenna are similar to those of the sensor, which will increase the coupling strength between the sensor and testing antenna. The antenna is fabricated in thick film integrated technology, and the properties of the alumina ceramic and silver ensure the feasibility of the antenna in high-temperature environments. The sensor, coupled with the ceramic antenna, is investigated using a high-temperature pressure testing platform. The experimental measurement results show that the pressure signal in a harsh environment can be detected by the frequency diversity of the sensor.

Sensitive Determination of Metal Ions in Drinking Water by Capillary Electrophoresis Coupled with Contactless Conductivity Detection Using 18-Crown-6 Ether and Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide as Complexing Reagents

A simple, economical, and sensitive capillary electrophoresis (CE) method integrated with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection was developed for the determination of metal ions such as K+, Na+, Mg2+, Sr2+, Ca2+ in drinking water. 18-Crown-6 ether and Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) were employed as complexing reagents. The effects of electrolyte additives, citric acid buffer solution, and other separation conditions of CE were comprehensively investigated and carefully optimized. The best results were obtained in a running buffer solution composed of citric acid (12 mM), 18-crown-6 ether (0.2 mM), and CTAB (0.015 mM) at pH 3.5. Under these conditions, a complete separation of five metal ions was successfully achieved in less than 12 min. The limits of detection for the optimal procedure were determined to be in the range of 0.02 - 0.2 mg·L-1. The repeatability with respect to migration times and peak areas, expressed as relative standard deviations, was better than 2.3% and 5.1%, respectively. Evaluation of the efficiency of the methodology indicated that it was reliable for the determination of metal ions in six different brands of drinking water samples.

Contactless Raman Spectroscopy-Based Monitoring of Physical States of Silyl-Modified Polymers during Cross-Linking

Cross-linking of silyl-modified polymers occurs at the alkoxysilane groups attached to the ends of polymer chains by hydrolysis and polycondensation mechanisms in the presence of moisture. During these reactions, three different physical states can be identified (viscous, skin effect and cross-linked state). Knowledge of the evolution of these states at each reaction time is essential to determine the open time for the adhe-sive industry and is generally obtained by a manual method. Automation of this moni-toring could avoid operator error and could be used for very long cross linking reac-tions or to screen a large number of catalysts. Thus, a contactless micro process tech-nology was developed to correlate these physical states with an optical technology, Raman spectroscopy, by monitoring the decrease in intensity of the Si-OCH3 groups during chemical reactions. This online characterization method can also be used to compare the efficiencies of several catalysts for the cross-linking of silyl-modified polymers, using a minimum amount of chemical materials.

Transverse distribution law of airflow excitation force for SI-FLAT contactless shapometer

Aiming at the shape problems in production, the finite element model was built with the Fluent software to analyze the transverse distribution laws of airflow excitation force under different factors which affected the detection precision. For analyzing the shape errors caused by the non-uniform transverse distribution of airflow excitation force, the finite element model of strip is built with the ANSYS12.0 software. It is found in the study results that the airflow excitation forces display the same distribution laws under different rolling conditions, i.e. have an obvious attenuation at the edge of strip~ which causes large shape measurement errors. For reducing shape errors, the compensation project is put forward, and it gives a good foundation for improving the detection precision.

Humidity sensors with high sensitivity,rapid response,and facile fabrication process for contactless sensing applications have received considerable attention in recent years.Herein,humidity sensors based on hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN)nanosheets that are synthesized by a facile ultrasonic process have been fabricated,which display an ultrahigh sensitivity of 28,384%at 85%relative humidity(RH),rapid response/recovery time(3.0/5.5 s),and long-term stability in a wide humidity detection range(11%-85%RH),superior to most of the reported humidity sensors.The high sensitivity can be ascribed to the massive hydrophilic functional groups absorbed on the h-BN nanosheet surface.Benefiting from the high humidity sensing performances,contactless Morse code messaging and human writing and speech recognition have been demonstrated.This work demonstrates the great potential of the high-performance h-BN nanosheet-based humidity sensors for future contactless sensing devices.

Unified Analysis and Output Estimation for a Strong Coupling Contactless Slipring System

A contactless slipring (CS) system utilizing inductive-power-transfer (IPT) technology is a good candidate for traditional mechanical slipring assemblies. However, suffering from the high harmonic currents in strong coupling CS systems, the output power will deviate from the theoretical values estimated by the fundamental harmonic approximation (FHA) and its extension method, i.e., E-FHA, in which the power is transferred by both the fundamental current and the high order harmonic currents. In order to achieve high precise output estimation, a unified analysis is proposed in this paper. First, “Fundamental-harmonic Double Resonance Phenomenon” is revealed via impedance analysis, to address the nature of the high harmonic currents in strong coupling systems. Then, a unified output current expression owning high precision is derived, and followed by a unified fundamental load impedance. Discussions show that both the output and the fundamental load impedance of FHA, and E-FHA are the special cases of the unified expressions proposed. FHA and E-FHA are precise enough for the loose coupling system, whereas the proposed method is indispensable for the strong coupling system with k>0.4 . Finally, simulations and experimental measurements of a 1.6kW CS system, as well as the comparative studies related to FHA, E-FHA, and the proposed method, are presented, indicating that the proposed method is effective for high precise output estimation.

无接触服务研究述评与未来展望

在智能化技术运用日渐广泛以及孤独经济的影响下,基于现代智能信息技术的无接触服务在社会各方面发挥重要作用,因此需要在回顾无接触服务相关研究的基础上提出未来技术发展方向。无接触服务是一种非面对面提供信息或商品的服务方式,其与自助服务在技术层面和应用环境层面上有一定差异,是自助服务的高级阶段。采用文献回顾的方法对2016—2022年与无接触服务相关的206篇中英文文献进行系统梳理,通过可视化和词频分析发现,中国学者在新冠疫情前对无接触服务的关注相对比较少。相关研究中,消费者层面主要关注无接触服务的用户行为,但存在用户隐私泄露以及道德伦理上的问题;企业层面更关注无接触技术的采纳,但因无接触服务不稳定或学习成本高等原因,用户拒绝使用无接触服务可能对企业绩效产生一些负面影响;政府层面则更关注整个行业的转型与数字化,但需要出台和完善相关措施解决分配不公、隐私泄露、法律缺失等问题。未来相关研究应进一步完善无接触服务的理论基础;考虑无接触服务对消费者行为的影响,尤其是负面影响;聚焦于无接触服务对企业绩效变化、政府职能等方面的影响,同时要关注未使用过无接触服务技术或新形成的消费群体,以及如“人-机”协同等新型劳动形式的有关法律保障等问题。与此同时,未来的实证研究需要高度重视数据来源问题,以及考虑使用纵向研究方法和融入如多群体分析、概率抽样与非概率抽样对比等各种分析方法。为推动无接触服务的广泛运用,消费者应积极学习相关使用方式并给出改进意见;企业则要考虑不同顾客群体的需求、提供更加定制化的服务;政府要大力宣传无接触服务的必要性,并为中小企业提供低成本的人工智能算力、算法和数据资源。
