Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage switches, and in particular, to a clamping force measuring device for a clamp-type disconnector switch. Furthermore, it includes a measuring method applied to the aforementioned clamping force measuring device for the clamp-type disconnector switch. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of power systems, the requirements for power grid safety, reliability, and the performance of electrical switchgear are constantly increasing. Outdoor clamp-type disconnect switches are completely exposed to the air, directly enduring wind, rain, and various seasonal environments. The contact points of the contacts are more susceptible to corrosion from rainwater and dust, leading to surface oxidation, poor contact, and excessive heat generation at the contact points. In severe cases, this can cause the contact springs to overheat and anneal, resulting in insufficient clamping force and accidents. Because outdoor clamp-type disconnect switches are located at high altitudes, testing their clamping force is difficult and inconvenient for on-site personnel. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel, easy-to-install, and accurate clamping force measuring device for clamp-type disconnect switches. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Example 1

When testing the clamping force of the disconnector switch, the pressure received by the pressure sensor is collected and transmitted through the pressure acquisition module transmitter 1.
[0030] The pressure is measured at the pressure detection device. A power transmission device is installed on the main body 10 of the measuring rod. The power transmission device supplies power to the pressure detection device to detect the pressure value.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the pressure acquisition module transmitting device 1 includes a pressure sensor 8, which is positioned near the end of the measuring rod body 10. The pressure sensor 8 is used to receive and transmit pressure transmitted from the outside (testing instrument pressure block). By placing the pressure sensor 8 on the measuring rod body 10, the external pressure is collected and transmitted. A groove is provided on the body of the measuring rod, and the pressure sensor 8 is installed in the groove. The groove secures the pressure sensor 8, allowing it to be stably mounted on the measuring rod body 10 for pressure measurement and transmission.
[0032] Furthermore, the measuring rod body 10 includes a tester pressure measuring block 3 that is spliced with each other. The tester pressure measuring block 3 has a recessed groove. The pressure sensor 8 is housed in the groove and protrudes from the side of the tester pressure measuring block 3. The tester pressure block 7 is disposed on the surface of the tester pressure measuring block 3 and abuts against the protruding part of the pressure sensor 8. The pressure acquisition module transmitter 1 is disposed at the end of the measuring rod body 10.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the pressure detection device includes a signal receiving device and a data processing system. The signal receiving device is used to receive the pressure signal transmitted by the pressure sensor 8. The signal receiving device is connected to the data processing system and transmits the pressure signal transmitted by the pressure sensor 8 and converts it into a stable value of clamping force. The signal receiving device includes a signal receiver. The signal receiver and the data processing system interpret the received pressure value signal and form visualized data for display.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a fastening device is provided on the measuring rod body 10. The fastening device is used to fix the pressure sensor 8 on the measuring rod body 10. Specifically, a fastening device is provided on the tester pressure block (3). The fastening device is connected to the pressure sensor (8) and used to fix the pressure sensor (8). Optionally, the fastening device is a pin. Two tester pressure blocks are assembled opposite each other and connected by the pin. The tester pressure block (3) is provided with four grooves. The pressure sensor is arranged in a corresponding groove. The pressure sensor is located in two oppositely assembled grooves. By setting the tester pin 2 on the measuring rod body 10, the pressure sensor 8 is fixed by the tester pin 2 on the measuring rod body 10. Under the action of the tester side pressure block and the tester pressure block 7, the pressure sensor 8 is fixed on the measuring rod body 10. The pressure sensor 8 is embedded in the measuring rod body 10 by the tester pressure block 3 and the tester pressure block 7, and the pressure sensor 8 is stably installed on the measuring rod body 10.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the power transmission device includes a cable and a power supply. The power supply is located at the end of the measuring rod body 10, and the power supply and pressure sensor 8 are positioned opposite each other. The power transmission device includes a cable and a power supply. The power supply is located at the end of the measuring rod body 10. The cable connects the power supply and the pressure sensor 8. A clamping device is provided on the measuring rod body 10, including a cable clamping plate 9 for clamping and fixing the cable. A side cover plate 4 is provided on the measuring rod body 10 for fixing the power supply.
[0036] The inner side of the measuring rod body has four pressure sensor placement grooves, with a built-in cable outlet in the center, secured by a cable clamp. One end of the cable connects to a portable power supply, which is covered with a power switch button, power indicator light, and a built-in circuit panel with wiring and power protection features. The other end of the cable connects to the pressure acquisition module's transmitting device. The pressure measuring block of the tester is connected to the main body via a pin, embedding the pressure sensor within it, effectively preventing damage from external factors. The pressure block of the tester is connected to the pressure measuring block with screws, allowing for easy replacement if damaged. The clamp-type isolating switch acts on the upper part, such as... Figure 2 The device clamps the pressure measuring block and squeezes the internal clamping force sensor. The pressure sensor collects relevant signals and transmits them wirelessly to the clamping force signal receiving and measuring device. The processing system converts the collected pressure signals into a microcontroller signal and measures the stable value of the contact clamping force after the disconnecting switch is closed. The diagnostic system compares this value with the standard value of this product model to determine the product's clamping force.
[0037] Is the tightening force up to standard?
[0038] The working principle of a clamp-type disconnector clamping force measuring device in this embodiment is as follows: The inner side of the main body of the tester's handheld rod has four pressure sensor 8 placement grooves, with a built-in cable outlet line fixed by a cable clamping plate 9. One end of the cable connects to a portable power supply, which is covered with a power switch button, a power indicator light, and a built-in circuit panel 6, equipped with line and power protection. The other end of the cable connects to a pressure acquisition module transmitter 1. The tester's pressure measuring block 3 is connected to the main body via a pin, embedding the pressure sensor 8 within it, effectively preventing damage from external factors. The tester's clamping block 7 is connected to the pressure measuring block by screws, making it easy to replace if damaged. The clamp-type disconnector acts on the pressure, clamping the pressure measuring block and squeezing the internal clamping force sensor. The pressure sensor 8 collects the relevant signal through a wireless line and transmits it to the clamping force signal receiving and measuring device. The pressure signal collected by the processing system is converted from analog to digital into a single-chip microcomputer signal, measuring the stable value of the contact clamping force after the disconnector is closed. The diagnostic system compares this value with the standard value of the product model to determine whether the product's clamping force is qualified.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the fastening device includes a clamp. The pressure sensor 8 is set on the measuring rod body 10 by the clamp, the pressure sensor 8 is bound by the clamp, and the pressure sensor 8 is set in the groove on the measuring rod body 10. The clamp is used to position and fix the pressure sensor 8, ensuring that the pressure sensor 8 is stably fixed on the measuring rod body 10.
