Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pressure relief device technology, and in particular to an explosion-proof pressure relief device for a prefabricated cabin-type switchgear. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in most 10kV switchgear equipment in substations, when short-circuit faults, excessive temperatures, excessive currents, or reduced insulation of components occur, the electric arc releases a large amount of heat instantaneously, heating the air and causing it to expand. If the expanded gas cannot be discharged in time, it can lead to deformation, displacement, or even rupture of the high-voltage equipment. If the ventilation inside the switchgear is poor, the arc-heated air may damage the switchgear, causing protection trips and serious consequences such as busbar power outages. Therefore, switchgear is generally equipped with pressure relief devices.

[0003] Existing switchgear pressure relief devices typically use an openable cover that opens to release pressure when there is internal overpressure. However, this method does not automatically revert to its original position after the cover is closed, requiring replacement and re-fixing before reuse, which is inconvenient.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The explosion-proof pressure relief device for a prefabricated cabin-type switchgear provided in this application embodiment includes: a device body (not shown in the figure), a door panel 10, a controller and a pressure relief assembly 20.

[0050] The door panel 10 is vertically mounted on the device body and sealed to the device body. The door panel 10 has a pressure relief hole 11 extending horizontally through it. The device body can be equipment such as a switch cabinet. The pressure relief hole 11 communicates with the interior of the device body.

[0051] The pressure relief assembly 20 includes an outer plate 21, an inner plate 22, a push rod 23, an electromagnet 24, and a spring 25. The outer plate 21 is shaped to match the pressure relief hole 11 and is slidably disposed within the pressure relief hole 11 in the horizontal direction; thus, when the outer plate 21 is located within the pressure relief hole 11, the two are sealed together; when the outer plate 21 slides out of the pressure relief hole 11, the inside and outside of the pressure relief hole 11 are connected. The inner plate 22 is located inside the main body of the device, that is, inside the door panel 10. The front end and rear end of the push rod 23 are respectively connected to the outer plate 21 and the inner plate 22, and the front end of the push rod 23 is provided with a magnetic pole opposite to that of the electromagnet 24 when energized. The electromagnet 24 is fixedly connected to the main body of the device and sleeved on the push rod 23, and is slidably connected to the push rod 23, used to drive the push rod 23 to move back and forth. The push rod 23 may have a magnetic pole opposite to that of the electromagnet 24 when energized, so that it moves forward under magnetic force after the electromagnet 24 is energized. The spring 25 is sleeved on the push rod 23, with one end connected to the electromagnet 24 and the other end connected to the inner plate 22.

[0052] In this embodiment, the controller can be located inside the switch cabinet or on the pressure relief assembly 20. The controller is electrically connected to the electromagnet 24 and is used to control the on / off state of the electromagnet 24. Specifically, the electromagnet 24 is electrically connected to a power supply, and the controller controls the on / off state of the electromagnet by controlling the start and stop of the power supply. Similarly, the power supply can be located inside the switch cabinet or on the pressure relief assembly 20.

[0053] When excessive pressure inside the switchgear necessitates pressure relief, the controller activates the power supply, energizing the electromagnet 24. This electromagnet 24 then moves the front end of the push rod 23, causing the outer plate 21 to slide outward until it connects with the pressure relief hole 11, opening it to transmit the internal pressure of the switchgear to the outside. Furthermore, when excessive pressure occurs within the main body of the device, the inner plate can also be pushed forward by the pressure, opening the outer plate 21 and achieving automatic pressure relief.

[0054] Spring 25 is used to drive push rod 23 to move backward when electromagnet 24 is de-energized, causing outer plate 21 to slide backward and close with pressure relief hole 11, thereby achieving automatic reset of the entire pressure relief device. It can be used directly the next time pressure relief is needed, without requiring reinstallation by personnel.

[0055] As a further improvement, an electric fan 30 can also be installed on the inner panel 22; the electric fan 30 is electrically connected to the controller. When the pressure relief hole 11 is open, the controller can simultaneously control the electric fan 30 to start, thereby achieving faster pressure relief for the switchgear.

[0056] In this embodiment, the controller can determine whether the electromagnet 24 is energized and whether the electric fan 30 is activated using a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor can be installed inside the main body of the device and electrically connected to the controller. It senses the real-time pressure value inside the door panel, i.e., inside the main body of the device, and sends it to the controller. The real-time pressure value is automatically updated over time.

[0057] The controller is used to energize the electromagnet 24 when the real-time pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value, thereby opening the pressure relief hole 11. After the electromagnet 24 is energized for a preset time, it determines whether the real-time pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value. If so, it starts the electric fan 30.

[0058] That is, after the pressure relief hole 11 has been open for a preset time, if the controller senses through the pressure sensor that the pressure inside the main body of the device is still greater than the preset pressure value, it will start the electric fan 30 to accelerate the pressure relief and allow the temperature and humidity inside the main body of the device to return to normal as soon as possible. The electric fan 30 can be set at the center of the inner plate 22.

[0059] In other embodiments, a connecting cylinder 40 is also included; the connecting cylinder 40 is disposed on the main body of the device, and a through cavity 41 communicating with the interior of the main body of the device is provided in the middle of the connecting cylinder 40; the door panel 10 is disposed at the outer end of the through cavity 41; and the pressure relief assembly 20 is located inside the through cavity 41.

[0060] The connecting cylinder 40 is long and narrow, and the internal cavity 41 can serve as a channel for the gas inside the main body of the device.

[0061] As a further improvement, the door panel 10 can be configured to slide vertically along the cavity 41. Specifically, the door panel 10, controller, fan 30, and pressure relief assembly 20 constitute a primary pressure relief assembly. In this embodiment, the sliding configuration of the door panel 10 allows it to constitute a secondary pressure relief assembly. When pressure relief is not required, the door panel 10 is sealed to the cavity 41. When the pressure inside the device body is too high, pressure is first relieved through the pressure relief assembly 20 and the fan 30. After a second preset time, if the controller senses through the pressure sensor that the real-time pressure value inside the device body is still greater than the preset pressure value, it can control the door panel 10 to slide, allowing the cavity 41 to directly connect to the outside, achieving faster pressure relief. The door panel 10 can be controlled to slide open by connecting it to a linear motor or a cylinder. Sealing strips 13 are provided at the top and bottom of the door panel 10 for sealing connection with the cavity 41 when pressure relief is not required.

[0062] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A magnetic block 12 is provided on the door panel 10; a coil magnet 42 is provided in the cavity 41; the controller is electrically connected to the coil magnet 42; the controller is used to control the current direction of the coil magnet 42 so that the coil magnet 42 generates an attractive force and a repulsive force on the magnetic block 12.

[0063] Specifically, different current directions on the coil magnet 42 will result in different magnetic poles of the coil magnet 42, thereby generating attraction and repulsion forces on the magnetic block 12 according to different current directions. The sliding control of the door panel 10 is achieved through the combination of attraction and repulsion forces.

[0064] Furthermore, the magnetic block 12 may include an upper magnetic block and a lower magnetic block, respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the door panel 10. Correspondingly, the coil magnet 42 includes an upper coil magnet and a lower coil magnet, respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the through cavity 41.

[0065] In application, the upper coil magnet can be located above the upper magnetic block, and the lower coil magnet can be located below the lower magnetic block. When the door panel 10 needs to slide upwards, the upper coil magnet generates an attractive force on the upper magnetic block, while the lower coil magnet generates a repulsive force on the lower magnetic block, thus driving the door panel 10 to slide upwards. When the door panel 10 needs to slide downwards, the current direction of the upper and lower coil magnets can be adjusted accordingly. When pressure relief is not required, after the door panel 10 has slid to the appropriate position, the current to the upper and lower coil magnets can be disconnected, or the upper and lower coil magnets can provide attractive forces to the upper and lower magnetic blocks respectively. The magnitude of the magnetic force generated by the upper and lower coil magnets can be adjusted according to the current magnitude. The cooperation of the upper and lower coil magnets can counteract the influence of gravity, achieving sliding control of the door panel 10.

[0066] In other embodiments, a toxic gas detector electrically connected to the controller can be installed in the cavity 41 to detect whether there is toxic gas in the cavity 41 and feed the detected data back to the background. Before the pressure relief device is repaired, the background displays whether the gas inside the pressure relief channel contains toxic gases, thereby prompting the staff whether it is suitable for repair and preventing the toxic and harmful gases generated by high pressure from causing harm to the maintenance personnel.

[0067] In other embodiments, a battery and a solar panel may also be included. The battery powers various power supply components such as the controller and electromagnet 24. The solar panel is disposed on the outside of the door panel 10 and electrically connected to the battery for charging the battery via solar energy.

[0068] Further, please refer to Figure 1The door panel 10 is provided with slide bars 14 on both sides; the cavity 41 is provided with a slide rail (not shown in the figure) for the slide bars 41 to slide in the vertical direction; the door panel 10 and the slide bars 14 are connected by pressure release screws; a chain (not shown in the figure) is connected between the door panel 10 and the connecting cylinder 40.

[0069] Specifically, the door panel 10, slide bar 14, and slide rail can form a three-stage pressure relief mechanism. When the internal pressure of the device body is too high and cannot be relieved in time by the first and second stage pressure relief mechanisms, the internal pressure of the device body will impact the door panel 10. The pressure relief screw can be a screw made of nylon material, and its connection force can be set according to actual needs. When the pressure on the door panel 10 exceeds the connection force of the pressure relief screw, the pressure relief screw will disengage from the slide bar 14, causing the door panel 10 to separate from the slide bar 14, thereby opening the passage cavity 41 for accelerated pressure relief. It should be noted that the chain can prevent the door panel 10 from flying outward and injuring personnel when the pressure relief screw disengages from the slide bar 14. There can be two chains, one on each side of the door panel 10.

[0070] As a further improvement, a stainless steel mesh door can be installed inside the cavity 41 to prevent high-temperature and high-pressure metal debris from flying out of the cavity 41 and causing injury to people outside, while also serving to prevent dust and small animals from entering.

[0071] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
