[0002] SF6 gas is widely used in the power system due to its excellent insulation performance and arc extinguishing ability. As an excellent insulating gas, SF6 has had a profound impact on the development of the power industry, bringing both positive contributions and challenges. SF6 gas has a strong greenhouse effect, and its global warming potential (GWP) is approximately 23,500 times that of carbon dioxide. Internationally, the Paris Agreement requires countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union has restricted the use of SF6 gas in some equipment, and the United States, Japan, etc. are promoting the reduction of the use of SF6 gas. Moreover, the decomposition products of SF6 gas under the arc are harmful, and the recycling and treatment costs are relatively high. Reducing the use of SF6 gas helps to protect environmental safety and public health. Replacing SF6 gas with environmentally friendly gases is of great significance in responding to global climate change, complying with international laws, improving economic benefits, and promoting social progress.

[0003] Reducing the use of SF6 is an important measure to achieve sustainable development. At present, the State Grid has begun to promote the application of high-voltage switchgear with environmentally friendly gases. As an important part of high-voltage switches, a high-voltage bushing with an environmentally friendly gas as the dielectric is urgently needed in the current high-voltage switch industry.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings and with reference to the following detailed description, the above and other features, advantages, and aspects of the embodiments of the present disclosure will become more apparent. The drawings are used to better understand the solution and do not limit the present disclosure. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements, where: Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the present invention.

[0015] Reference numerals: 1, bushing; 2, transition flange; 3, terminal board and connecting conductor; 4, bushing shield; 5, conductor shield; 6, transition conductor; 7, contact seat assembly; 8, bushing base assembly. Detailed implementation manners

[0016] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Referring to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a high-voltage bushing 1 with clean air insulation, including a bushing 1; a transition flange 2; a terminal board and a connecting conductor 3; a bushing shield 4; a conductor shield 5; a transition conductor 6, a contact seat assembly 7, and a bushing base assembly 8.

[0018] The bushing 1 is hermetically connected to the bushing 1 base through the sealing grooves and threaded holes on both sides of the transition flange 2. The terminal board and the connecting conductor 3 are of an integral structure and are hermetically connected to the bushing 1 through the sealing groove on the top circular flange. The bushing shield 4 is fixed using the threaded holes inside the transition flange 2. The conductor shield 5 is fixed using the threaded holes outside the transition conductor 6. The transition conductor 6 is fastened and conducted through the threaded holes at the bottom of the terminal board and the connecting conductor 3. The contact seat assembly 7 is connected to the conductor of the bushing 1 base by means of bolt connection. The terminal board and the connecting conductor 3 are docked with the bushing 1 base and are conducted through the guide ring and spring contact finger inside the contact seat assembly 7.

[0019] The material of the bushing 1 is porcelain. The flanges at both ends of the bushing 1 are cast aluminum alloy. The whole is sintered integrally to enhance the strength, sealing performance and stability of the bushing 1. The size and umbrella combination, size and strength of the porcelain bushing 1 meet the performance requirements. Since the thermal conductivity of the material of the porcelain bushing 1 itself is poor, and the bushing 1 is a part with a relatively high temperature rise in the high-voltage switchgear, and the clean air medium increases the difficulty of heat dissipation and insulation of the bushing 1, so there are multiple groups of arc-shaped inclined ribs on the outer ring of the flanges at both ends, which not only serve as reinforcing ribs to increase the strength of the flanges, but also play the role of heat sinks. The inclined ribs and the flanges are of a cast integral structure. The arc-shaped heat sinks increase the surface area of the exposed metal of the flange of the bushing 1, improve the heat exchange efficiency, and make the overall shape of the external flange connection position of the bushing 1 present a smooth transition. This flange structure of the bushing 1 can, through calculation, play the role of an end grading ring, simplify the structure of the bushing 1, and reduce the cost; the flange of the bushing 1 is provided with evenly distributed bolt holes and a sealing surface for the butt joint of the bushing 1 and the terminal board and the base of the bushing 1.

[0020] The transition flange 2 realizes the transition and connection of the dimensional changes between the bushing 1 and the base of the bushing 1. The material is aluminum alloy. The two sides of the flange are M12 threaded blind holes that are staggered and evenly distributed, ensuring the firm installation of the bushing 1. And there are two sealing grooves on each side of the flange. A waterproof ring is equipped in the outer sealing groove to limit the moisture content in the gas chamber, thereby improving the insulation performance. An air chamber sealing ring is equipped in the inner sealing groove to ensure the sealing of the air chamber; a circular machined surface and threaded holes are provided on the upper side inside the flange for the installation of the shielding cover at the interface of the bushing 1. The lower side is a large R fillet to optimize the electric field of the interface and the conductor on the opposite side and increase the insulation performance.

[0021] The flange of the terminal board and the connecting conductor are welded integrally, reducing the butt joint surface of the conductor inside the bushing 1 and reducing the connection resistance. This structure can effectively simplify the product installation steps and reduce the temperature rise of the bushing 1. The top flange is equipped with installation bolt holes and a sealing groove, and is hermetically connected to the bushing 1. The internal tubular conductor is made of aluminum, reducing the equipment weight. The annular cross-section increases the material utilization rate and the heat dissipation area of the conductor. There are multiple groups of small heat dissipation holes around the conductor to enhance the heat exchange inside and outside the conductor. The bottom end face is silver-plated and provided with threaded holes for the connection of the transition conductor 6.

[0022] To reduce the equipment weight, the material of the bushing shielding cover 4 is aluminum. There are bolt holes at the bottom for fixing the shielding cover. The diameter, height and top shape of the bushing shielding cover 4 are all obtained through electric field calculation. It can effectively shield the local field strength increase caused by dimensional changes. The bushing shielding cover 4 improves the heat distribution while evenly distributing the electric field and improves the heat dissipation efficiency. Because the internal conductor transition position is outside the bushing 1 and there is no dimensional mutation in the conductor inside the bushing 1, so only the bushing shielding cover 4 can ensure that the field strength is qualified at the butt joint position of the bushing 1, greatly simplifying the structure here and increasing the equipment stability.

[0023] The conductor shielding cover 5 is made of aluminum and is used to shield the diameter change at the transition point between the aluminum conductor and the copper conductor. There are four evenly distributed bolt holes on the side of the conductor shielding cover 5, which are fastened with four countersunk screws to make a smooth transition between the conductor and the surface of the conductor shielding cover 5. Thanks to the design that the transition position of the conductor material is located inside the tank body of the base of the bushing 1, this conductor shielding cover 5 has a small structure and is easy to install, so that the field strength of the conductor of the bushing 1 can meet the performance requirements and retain sufficient margin.

[0024] In order to reduce the temperature rise caused by the conductor plugging at the interface of the bushing 1, the transition conductor 6 is made of copper, which has better conductivity, lower resistance and stronger heat dissipation capacity than aluminum conductors. While ensuring temperature rise and insulation, the length and diameter of the copper conductor are minimized, thereby reducing product weight and material costs. There are four threaded holes on the top side for the installation of the conductor shielding cover 5. At the same time, bolt through holes in the upper and lower directions are provided at the positions of the shielding cover mounting holes, which are used for bolt fastening between this conductor and the aluminum conductor. The end face where the top diameter increases is silver-plated to increase the docking area and reduce the docking resistance. The lower plug-in position is a machined surface and is silver-plated to ensure good contact at the plug-in position. A number of ventilation holes for heat dissipation are provided at the non-plug-in position of the conductor to further increase the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0025] The contact seat is assembled 7 in the base of the bushing 1. There are three bolt holes at the bottom. The bolt heads are sunk into the holes. The inner cavity depth of the contact seat is calculated by the dimension chain to leave enough space for the plug-in conductor so that the installation is not affected by the dimensional changes caused by the tolerance of the parts and the shrinkage and thermal expansion. The upper mouth of the contact seat is a guide ring to ensure the accurate insertion size of the conductor. The plug-in point is set to four turns of spring contact fingers through temperature rise calculation, and the number of turns of each spring contact finger is guaranteed at the same time to ensure that the temperature rise of the contact seat meets the performance requirements.

[0026] The base of bushing 1 is mainly composed of a pot-type insulator, a shell, a conductor, and a contact seat. The shell is connected to the pot-type insulator of the equipment busbar through the bolt holes on the main barrel flange, and is connected to the three-phase bushing 1 through the bolt holes on the three-phase support barrel through the transition flange 2. The conductor is connected to the insert conductor on the pot through the connecting bolts, and the contact seat and the conductor are connected by bolt connection. The pot-type insulator material is epoxy resin with a metal flange to enhance mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The conductor and contact seat material is aluminum alloy, and the shell material is welded aluminum alloy. The low density of aluminum alloy is conducive to reducing product weight. Half of the spherical tank is welded on the top of the main barrel, and the diameter of the three-phase support barrel is as large as possible while meeting the welding distance, so that the inner cavity space of the bushing 1 base can be sufficient, which is conducive to insulation and heat dissipation performance.

[0027] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and not for limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should also understand that various modifications can be made to the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
