[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a thyristor replacement device. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the thyristor replacement device includes: a hydraulic pump 1, a pressure relief valve 2, a pressure gauge 3, a diverter valve 4, a first oil pipe 5, a second oil pipe 6, a first control valve 7, a second control valve 8, a first hydraulic cylinder 9 and a second hydraulic cylinder 10.

[0017] The hydraulic pump 1 is a manual hydraulic pump. The outlet end of the hydraulic pump 1 is connected to the inlet end of the pressure relief valve 2. Specifically, a pressure relief knob 11 is provided on the hydraulic pump 1. The outlet end of the pressure relief valve 2 is connected to the inlet end of the diverter valve 4 through a pipeline 12. A pressure gauge 3 is provided on the pipeline 12. The first outlet end of the diverter valve 4 is connected to the inlet end of the first oil pipe 5. The second outlet end of the diverter valve 4 is connected to the inlet end of the second oil pipe 6. Preferably, the first outlet end of the diverter valve 4 and the inlet end of the first oil pipe 5 are connected through a first joint 13, and the second outlet end of the diverter valve 4 and the inlet end of the second oil pipe 6 are connected through a second joint 14. Both the first joint 13 and the second joint 14 are quick joints. A first control valve 7 is provided at the first outlet end of the diverter valve 4. A second control valve 8 is provided at the second outlet end of the diverter valve 4. The outlet end of the first oil pipe 5 is connected to the first hydraulic cylinder 9. The first hydraulic cylinder 9 is a 5t hydraulic cylinder. The outlet end of the second oil pipe 6 is connected to the second hydraulic cylinder 10. The second hydraulic cylinder 10 is a 25t hydraulic cylinder. The pressure of the first hydraulic cylinder 9 is used to replace the pressure of the gap-filling gasket of the thyristor, and the second hydraulic cylinder 10 is used to provide the pressure for opening the heat sink of the thyristor.

[0018] The first hydraulic cylinder 9 includes: a first cavity 901, two second cavities 902 and a first piston column 903. The first cavity 901 is U-shaped. The second cavity 902 is strip-shaped. One end of the two second cavities 902 is respectively connected to the ends of the two side arms of the U-shape of the first cavity 901. The second cavity 902 is perpendicular to the plane where the first cavity 901 is located. At least one first piston column 903 is movably provided on one surface of the two second cavities 902. Preferably, two first piston columns 903 are arranged at intervals on each second cavity 902. One surface of the second cavity 902 is a surface parallel to the bottom surface of the U-shape of the first cavity 901.

[0019] The second hydraulic cylinder 9 comprises: a third cavity and a second piston column. The second piston column is movably arranged at one end of the third cavity.

[0020] Preferably, the thyristor replacement device further comprises: an extended piston column. The extended piston column is detachably connected to the second piston column. When the length of the second piston column is insufficient, the extended piston column can be used to increase the length.

[0021] The following uses the A5000 type thyristor of a converter valve as an example to illustrate the use process of the thyristor replacement device of the embodiment of the present invention. The A5000 type thyristor of a converter valve is clamped by heat sinks located at both ends of the thyristor. The thyristor and the heat sink are connected by wires.

[0022] When in use, first connect the second piston column of the second hydraulic cylinder 10 to the central tube of the pressure loading adapter of the thyristor, so that the second hydraulic cylinder 10 is firmly connected to the pressure loading adapter. When the stroke of the second piston column is not enough, the second piston column can be connected to the extended piston column in advance, and then the extended piston column is connected to the central tube of the pressure loading adapter of the thyristor. Use a thyristor protection band to support the thyristor from the bottom of the thyristor to prevent the thyristor from falling due to lack of support after the heat sinks at both ends of the thyristor are stretched open. In addition, it is also convenient to remove the thyristor from between the heat sinks. Remove the wires between the thyristor and the heat sink. Fix the first hydraulic cylinder 9 at the position of the thyristor to be removed. Specifically, the two second cavities 902 of the first hydraulic cylinder 9 are respectively located on both sides of the thyristor, that is, the thyristor is stuck between the two second cavities 902, so that the first piston columns 903 of the two second cavities 902 are respectively facing the two side ends of the heat sink at one end of the thyristor, that is, the top pressure position of the heat sink.

[0023] Then, pressure testing is performed to ensure that the pressure of the first hydraulic cylinder 9 can stretch the heat sink, and the pressure of the second hydraulic cylinder 10 can replace the pressure of the shim, so that the shim can be removed. Specifically, first open the second control valve 8, tighten (the tightening direction is generally clockwise) the pressure relief knob 11 of the hydraulic pump 1, and open the pressure relief valve 2 (the opening direction is generally counterclockwise). Manually pressurize the hydraulic pump 1. When the pressure of the pressure gauge 3 is greater than 55MPa, the shim at the center tube of the pressure loading adapter of the thyristor will fall. If the pressure reaches 60MPa and the shim still does not fall, stop pressurizing. At this time, open the pressure relief knob 11 to release the pressure, and then check whether the second piston column (or extended piston column) of the second hydraulic cylinder 10 is stuck, whether the second hydraulic cylinder 10 has reached the stroke limit, etc. After solving the above problems, repeat the above manual pressure operation process. Then, tighten the pressure relief valve 2, open the pressure relief knob 11 a little, and release the pressure relief valve 2 while observing the pressure gauge 3. It should be noted that the pressure should be released slowly. When the pressure value of the pressure gauge 3 is 5-10MPa, stop releasing the pressure. Observe how many shims are needed to fill the gap, then slightly pressurize, put these shims on, and then slightly release the pressure. If the shims are pressed tightly, this step is correct, indicating that the pressure can be completely relieved. The first hydraulic cylinder 9 can open the heat sink, and the second hydraulic cylinder 10 can provide the pressure of the shims, which can remove the shims to loosen the thyristor as a whole, so as to remove the thyristor.

[0024] When starting to disassemble the thyristor, open the first control valve 7 and pressurize the first hydraulic cylinder 9 until the piston rod 903 of the first hydraulic cylinder 9 opens the heat sink to ensure that there is a gap of 1 to 2 mm between the heat sink and the thyristor, and then stop pressurizing. Lift the thyristor protection band and take out the thyristor to be replaced. Use an electric spinning or lint-free cloth dipped in anhydrous ethanol to clean the surface of the heat sink; use an electric spinning cloth dipped in conductive paste to evenly apply a thin layer of conductive paste on the surface of the new thyristor. Then put the new thyristor into the position to be replaced.

[0025] Control the hydraulic pump 1 and the first hydraulic cylinder 9 to gradually release the pressure, and remove the first hydraulic cylinder 9 from the thyristor. Control the hydraulic pump 1 to connect with the second hydraulic cylinder 10, gradually increase the pressure to more than 55Mpa, put in the original gap-filling gasket, and then release the pressure to zero. After the pressure is released, remove the second hydraulic cylinder 10 from the thyristor (if an extended piston rod is used, remove the extended piston rod from the second hydraulic cylinder 10), and the thyristor is replaced.

[0026] By using this thyristor replacement tool, the time saved in replacing a single thyristor (especially the expanded thyristor) is 2 to 4 hours on average, and the efficiency is 3.25 times that of the original tool. Based on the power transmission of a single valve group of 2000MW, the time spent on replacing a single expanded thyristor will save at least 5000MW of power loss compared to the original tool processing.

[0027] In summary, the thyristor replacement device of the embodiment of the present invention can replace faulty thyristors more quickly and efficiently, and is especially effective in handling swollen thyristors, thereby improving the power transmission reliability of the DC power transmission system, reducing losses, and having good application prospects.

[0028] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
