Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical system technology, and in particular to a pole and circuit breaker. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medium-voltage gas-insulated switchgear technology, most mainstream products currently employ a box-type metal-enclosed structure using SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) as the insulating medium and a vacuum interrupter as the breaking element. However, SF6 is a greenhouse gas, and under the current national emphasis on energy conservation and environmental protection, its use needs to be gradually reduced or even eliminated, replaced by environmentally friendly gases such as clean air or nitrogen. Using clean air or nitrogen requires higher filling pressures, but box-type gas-insulated switchgear is only suitable for slightly positive pressure filling. Therefore, the metal-enclosed pressure vessel used in environmentally friendly gas-insulated switchgear can only adopt a cylindrical tank structure. The internal space of a cylindrical environmentally friendly gas-insulated switchgear is smaller than that of a box-type container, resulting in a more challenging internal structural design for the tank-type environmentally friendly gas-insulated switchgear.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a pole that is not only suitable for the structural design of compact circuit breakers in tank-type environmentally friendly gas-filled switchgear, but also solves the technical problems of decreased mechanical performance and phase-to-phase insulation after the miniaturization of circuit breakers is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the direction of environmental protection product technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

This can solve the problem of decreased mechanical performance after the miniaturization of the circuit breaker, improve the electrodynamic force between phases and the impact force during mechanical operation, and at the same time improve the phase-to-phase insulation problem of the circuit breaker.

[0035] Another object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 8 .

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pole disclosed in this embodiment of the invention includes an epoxy casting 100 and a pole body 200. The epoxy casting 100 contains at least two sets of cavities for accommodating the pole body 200, with each set of cavities housing one pole body 200. The pole assembled from the integrally cast epoxy casting 100 can solve the problem of decreased mechanical performance after miniaturization of circuit breakers, improve the electrodynamic forces between phases and the impact forces during mechanical operation, and simultaneously improve the phase-to-phase insulation of the circuit breaker.

[0038] It should be noted that the epoxy casting 100 includes an epoxy casting body 101 and a conductor insert 102; wherein the epoxy casting body 101 has flange portions 103 at both ends, an epoxy connecting plate 104 is provided in the middle of the epoxy casting body 101, the conductor insert 102 is fixedly disposed in the epoxy connecting plate 104, the inner hole of the conductor insert 102 is connected to the cavity assembly on both sides, and the mounting surface of the conductor insert 102 extends from the outer surface of the epoxy casting body 101 for connection with the incoming conductor. The above-mentioned integrated casting structure can solve the structural stress problem under small phase spacing.

[0039] It should be explained that a through hole is provided on the epoxy casting body 101 at the position corresponding to the conductor insert 102, and the mounting surface of the conductor insert 102 can extend out from the through hole of the epoxy casting body 101 to connect with the incoming conductor 300.

[0040] It should be further explained that each flange 103 is provided with three through holes, and the through holes on two flanges 103 are arranged in pairs. The two ends of one set of cavities are respectively located in two corresponding through holes. The flange 103 configuration can improve the overall stress level and interphase insulation performance of the pole.

[0041] The present invention does not specifically limit the structure of the epoxy casting body 101. The epoxy casting body 101 can be a hollow flat cylindrical structure, a hollow rectangular structure, or other structures. Any structure that meets the requirements of the present invention is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the epoxy casting body 101 is preferably a flat cylindrical, hollow structure integrally cast.

[0043] Please refer to the following for details. Figures 3 to 5 The pole disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention includes a cavity assembly comprising a first cavity 1011 and a second cavity 1012. The inner hole of the conductor insert 102 is parallel to or coaxial with the axis of the first cavity 1011 or the second cavity 1012. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the pole.

[0044] It should be further explained that the outer surface of the conductor insert 102 is wrapped with epoxy casting material, and protrusions 1021 are respectively provided at both ends of the conductor insert 102. The protrusions 1021 form an epoxy shield, which effectively reduces the electric field strength and further improves the phase-to-phase insulation performance of the pole.

[0045] To further optimize the above embodiments, in the pole disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, the first cavity 1011 in each of two adjacent cavity groups is interconnected, and the second cavity 1012 in each of two adjacent cavity groups is interconnected.

[0046] The above-mentioned structural arrangement, in which the two adjacent sets of first cavities 1011 are interconnected and the two adjacent sets of second cavities 1012 are interconnected, can further improve the phase-to-phase insulation performance of the circuit breaker.

[0047] In order to improve the flow of hot air and further improve the heat dissipation performance of the electrode when a large current flows through it, the electrode disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention is provided with ventilation holes for ventilation and heat dissipation of the electrode.

[0048] The ventilation holes can be set in various ways. Specifically, in the first cavity 1011 and the second cavity 1012 disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, the second ventilation hole 1012-a can be set only on the second cavity 1012, or the first ventilation hole 1011-a can be set only on the first cavity 1011.

[0049] Of course, while providing a second ventilation hole 1012-a on the second cavity 1012, a first ventilation hole 1011-a can also be provided on the first cavity 1011. Those skilled in the art can choose any of the above-mentioned configuration methods according to actual needs.

[0050] It should be noted that two first ventilation holes 1011-a are preferably provided, and are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the first cavity 1011.

With this arrangement, the first ventilation holes 1011-a connect the top and bottom of the first cavity 1011, and the second ventilation holes 1012-a connect the top and bottom of the second cavity 1012. Therefore, hot air can flow up and down, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation performance of the pole.

[0051] The outer diameters of the first cavity 1011 and the second cavity 1012 disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention can be set to be the same or different. The outer diameter of the first cavity 1011 can be larger than the outer diameter of the second cavity or smaller than the outer diameter of the second cavity 1012. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific dimensions of the outer diameters of the first cavity 1011 and the second cavity 1012. Any structure that meets the requirements of the present invention is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0052] To further optimize the above embodiments, in the pole structure disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, it is preferable that the outer diameter of the second cavity 1012 is larger than the outer diameter of the first cavity 1011. This setting can reduce the height of the mounting surface of the incoming conductor 300 and the conductor insert 102, optimize the layout of the incoming conductor 300 in the circuit breaker, reduce the overall height of the circuit breaker module, and thus realize the miniaturization design of the circuit breaker.

[0053] Of course, to further optimize the above embodiments, the epoxy casting body 101 disclosed in this embodiment of the invention is also provided with a groove 1011-b. The embodiments of the invention do not specifically limit the location of the groove 1011-b; any structure that meets the usage requirements of this invention is within the protection scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art can select the groove according to actual needs. Preferably, the groove 1011-b is located on the outer wall of the epoxy casting body 101. This arrangement can effectively improve the overall stress level of the pole.
