Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment machinery, and in particular to a 2-degree-of-freedom adjustable circuit breaker transfer trolley. Background Technology
[0002] In three-phase AC 50Hz, 40.5kV single busbar segmented power systems, KYN61-40.5 armored withdrawable metal-enclosed switchgear is widely used in power plants, substations, industrial and mining enterprises, and high-rise building power distribution systems, occupying a major position among 40.5kV air-insulated equipment. In the domestic power market, the two most commonly used circuit breakers are the domestically produced ZN85-40.5 circuit breaker and ABB's VD4 series circuit breaker. This type of circuit breaker weighs over 400KG and is 1.2 meters high. It is not feasible to use ordinary transport trolleys for transferring the circuit breaker cabinet or to remove it from the cabinet for maintenance, as is the case with miniature circuit breakers.
[0003] To circumvent the above problems, the usual practice is to equip substations with VD series circuit breakers with imported transfer trolleys. These trolleys are only compatible with foreign products and do not support the transfer of the domestically produced ZN85 circuit breakers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transfer trolley for the safe transfer of ZN85 circuit breakers of different widths manufactured in China to the KYN61 cabinet. The trolley features adjustable left and right guide rail spacing, synchronous vertical lifting, good structural load-bearing capacity, strong anti-tipping ability, simple operation, and convenient loading and unloading. It solves the problems of easy tipping, difficult cabinet delivery, and the need for numerous delivery personnel and tools associated with such heavy and high-center-of-gravity circuit breakers. This invention achieves safe transfer and easy cabinet delivery, meeting the application requirements of different widths of ZN85 circuit breakers and varying cabinet guide rail heights.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A 2-DOF adjustable circuit breaker transfer trolley is used for the safe transfer and easy delivery of domestically produced ZN85 circuit breakers to cabinets. It includes a main frame of the trolley, 8-inch heavy-duty casters, fixed wheels, a horizontal distance adjustment mechanism, a vertical lifting mechanism, and a hand-cranked drive mechanism.
[0007] The main frame of the trolley consists of left and right handrail columns, a rear support, and left and right support arms. The left and right handrail columns are mounted on the rear support of the trolley. Eight-inch heavy-duty casters and fixed wheels are mounted below the rear support and on the left and right support arms, respectively, for support, movement, and guidance. Two sets of horizontal distance adjustment mechanisms with self-locking screws and guide shafts (stationary ends) are symmetrically fixed on the rear support. The horizontal screw nuts and flange bushings are mounted on the left and right support arms (moving ends). When the horizontal self-locking screws are manually operated, the distance between the left and right support arms will change. Two vertical lifting mechanisms are respectively mounted on... On the left and right support arms, in their vertical positions, the adjustable self-locking screws, vertical guide shafts, and bases are fixedly installed (stationary end). The vertical screw nut is installed on the side of the guide rail support platform (moving end). Two hand-cranked drive mechanisms are installed on the left and right support arms in their horizontal positions, employing a gear structure to cooperate with the vertical lifting mechanism to transmit torque. When the hand-cranked drive mechanism is manually operated, it drives the adjustable self-locking screws in the left and right support arms to move, indirectly and synchronously driving the guide rail support platform to move up and down, thus achieving vertical distance adjustment. In summary, the horizontal distance adjustment mechanism controls the horizontal degree of freedom movement of the left and right support arms, which is the guide rail gauge, while the vertical lifting mechanism controls the vertical degree of freedom movement of the height.
[0008] Preferably, in order to ensure space for loading and unloading the load-bearing circuit breaker, two handrail columns are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rear support of the transfer trolley, with a foot pedal between the columns. The foot pedal is free of any obstructions, allowing personnel to enter and stand on the foot pedal to load and unload the ZN85 circuit breaker.
[0009] Preferably, to achieve both load-bearing capacity and transfer function while lowering the center of gravity, the rear part of the transfer trolley has three 8-inch heavy-duty swivel casters fixed in a stable triangular arrangement under the foot pedal of the rear support of the transfer trolley using screws. The front part of the transfer trolley has two fixed wheels mounted on the square tubes of the left and right support arms. The wheelbase between the rear and front parts of the transfer trolley is significantly larger than the wheelbase of the circuit breaker chassis, lowering the center of gravity of the transfer trolley and improving its anti-tipping ability.
[0010] Preferably, to achieve manual adjustment of the horizontal distance and horizontal guidance, two sets of horizontally adjusting self-locking screw pairs and guide shaft pairs are respectively installed within the aforementioned 400mm spacing space. The horizontally adjusting self-locking screw pair consists of a horizontally adjusting self-locking screw and a screw support. The screw support is installed on the side of the reinforcing rib plate. After the horizontally adjusting self-locking screw shaft is assembled with the screw nut, it passes through the flange holes on the left and right support arms, and both ends are installed in the bearing seats of the screw support, allowing for flexible rotation. A handwheel is fixedly installed at the extended end of the horizontally adjusting self-locking screw. Finally, the horizontal screw nut is fixed on the left and right support arms. After manually turning the handwheel, the horizontally adjusting self-locking screw can rotate in both directions and drive the screw nut to move horizontally. Two sets of guide shaft pairs are installed above the horizontally adjusting self-locking screw pairs. They consist of guide shafts, flange sleeves, and optical shaft supports. The flange sleeves are fixed on the left and right support arms, and the guide shafts pass through the flange sleeves and are fixed at both ends on the optical shaft supports, allowing for smooth sliding.
[0011] Preferably, to achieve synchronous vertical lifting motion, two sets of vertically adjustable self-locking screw pairs and vertical guide pairs are vertically and symmetrically installed in the middle vertical beam area of the left and right support arms. Each vertically adjustable self-locking screw pair consists of a vertically adjustable self-locking screw, a vertical screw support, and a vertical screw nut. After the vertical screw nut is installed on the vertically adjustable self-locking screw, both ends are fixed to the vertical screw support, which is fixed to the inner surface of the C-shaped steel of the middle vertical beam for support. The vertical guide pair consists of a vertical guide shaft and a shaft base, installed on both sides of the vertically adjustable self-locking screw pair. The shaft base is fixed to the inner surface of the C-shaped steel of the middle vertical beam for support. The vertical screw nut is fixed to a sliding table, which is a machined part. One end face has five base-shaped bosses milled on it, with vertical guide shaft holes and vertical screw nut flange holes. Four threaded holes are evenly distributed around the vertical screw nut flange shaft. The other end face has five M12 threaded holes for fixing the guide rail support table. The guide rail support platform is a welded component consisting of a trapezoidal steel plate, a base plate, and embedded guide rails. During installation, the vertical screw nut is adjusted to the same height. When the two self-locking screws rotate synchronously, they drive the guide rail support platform to lift synchronously. When used to lift ZN85 circuit breakers to adapt to different switchgear guide rail heights, the platform can be adjusted to a suitable height so that the upper guide rail surface of the transfer trolley is on the same horizontal plane as the guide rail surface on the switchgear, facilitating the insertion of the circuit breaker into the switchgear.
[0012] Preferably, to ensure manual operability and synchronized lifting of the guide rail support platform, a gear structure with a certain ratio is used to reduce the large torque generated by the self-locking screw pair for vertical adjustment due to the load, until it reaches a torque range that can be manually cranked. A more preferred solution is to fix a bevel tooth to the upper end of the self-locking screw via a keyway, which transmits the torque to another hand-cranked drive mechanism with bevel teeth. This hand-cranked drive mechanism is mounted on the crossbeams of the left and right support arms. One end of the bevel tooth engages with the bevel tooth on the self-locking screw, while the other end engages with a hand-cranked bevel tooth with a hexagonal shaft hole. The two ends of the hand-cranked bevel tooth are fitted with round holes on the crossbeam via mounting plates, and are then confined by the mounting plates to a position where they cannot move left or right but can rotate smoothly. For synchronization, an operating shaft passes through the hexagonal holes of the hand-cranked bevel teeth on the left and right support arms. When the operating shaft is cranked using a specially designed unidirectional hand crank, the hand-cranked bevel teeth move synchronously, ultimately achieving synchronized lifting of the guide rail support platform.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0014] This invention uses a hand-cranked drive mechanism to adjust the horizontal distance adjustment mechanism to control the distance between the circuit breaker wheel guide rails on the left and right support arms, thereby enabling manual adjustment of the adapter width of the transported circuit breaker. Its vertical lifting mechanism, equipped with a hand crank, allows for vertical lifting by cranking the handle up and down, ensuring seamless alignment between the transfer trolley rails and the switchgear rails, and enabling adjustable height adjustment of the circuit breaker switchgear. All components work together to facilitate the installation or maintenance of ZN85 heavy-duty circuit breakers from different manufacturers, from loading to transfer to parallel insertion into the switchgear. This invention provides a transfer trolley for the safe transfer of ZN85 circuit breakers of varying widths from domestic manufacturers into the KYN61 cabinet. Its left and right rail spacing is adjustable, and it features synchronous vertical lifting. The structure boasts good load-bearing capacity, strong anti-tipping ability, simple operation, and convenient loading and unloading. It solves the problems of easy tipping, difficult cabinet delivery, and the need for numerous personnel and tools required for transporting such heavy and high-center-of-gravity circuit breakers, achieving safe and easy transfer and meeting the application requirements of different ZN85 widths and cabinet rail heights.

The operation process can be simply described as follows: the horizontal distance adjustment mechanism 5 and the vertical lifting mechanism 6 are manually operated to adjust the rail gauge to 882mm and the rail height to 75mm.
[0037] like Figure 2 The image shown is a two-axis side view of the main frame of a trolley with adjustable 2 degrees of freedom for a circuit breaker transfer trolley according to the present invention. Figure 2 The main frame of the trolley shown consists of a left handrail column 2.1, a right handrail column 2.2, a rear support 2.3, a left support arm 2.4, and a right support arm 2.5.

A handwheel 5.4 is fixedly installed at the extended end of the horizontally adjusting self-locking screw.

[0039] like Figure 4 The image shown is a side view of an embodiment of the horizontal distance adjustment mechanism 5 of a 2-DOF adjustable circuit breaker transfer trolley according to the present invention, which adjusts the track gauge. Figure 4 As shown: In this implementation example, the track gauge of the circuit breaker chassis is 882mm. It is only necessary to operate the horizontal distance adjustment mechanism 5 by turning the handwheel 5.4 to adjust the left support arm 2.4 and the right support arm 2.5 to a certain distance so that the track gauge is equal to 882mm.
[0040] like Figure 5The diagram shows a six-axis two-side view of a vertical lifting mechanism for a two-degree-of-freedom adjustable circuit breaker transfer trolley according to the present invention. Two sets of vertically adjustable self-locking screw pairs 6.1 and vertical guide pairs 6.2 are vertically and symmetrically installed in the inner area of the C-shaped steel of the middle vertical beam 2.4.2 of the left support arm 2.4 and the right support arm 2.5. The vertically adjustable self-locking screw pair 6.1 consists of a vertically adjustable self-locking screw 6.1.1, a vertical screw support 6.1.2, and a vertical screw nut 6.1.3. After the vertical screw nut 6.1.3 is installed on the vertically adjustable self-locking screw 6.1.1, both ends are fixed on the vertical screw support 6.1.2. The vertical screw support 6.1.2 is fixed on the inner surface of the C-shaped steel of the middle vertical beam 2.4.2 and provides support. The vertical guide pair 6.2 consists of a vertical guide shaft 6.2.1 and a shaft base 6.2.2, and is installed on both sides of the upper and lower adjustable self-locking screw pair 6.1. The shaft base 6.2.2 is fixed to the inner surface of the C-shaped steel of the middle vertical beam 2.4.2 and serves as a support. The vertical screw nut 6.1.3 is fixed on the sliding table 6.3, which is a machined part. One end face of the sliding table has five base-shaped bosses milled on it, with holes for the vertical guide shaft 6.2.1 and flange holes for the vertical screw nut 6.1.3. Four threaded holes are evenly distributed around the flange shaft of the vertical screw nut 6.1.3. The other end face has five M12 threaded holes for fixing the guide rail support table 6.5. The guide rail support table 6.5 is a welded part made of trapezoidal steel plate 6.5.1, base plate 6.5.2, and embedded guide rail 6.5.3. During installation, adjust the vertical lead screw nut 6.1.3 to the same height. When the two vertical self-locking lead screws 6.1.1 rotate synchronously, they will drive the guide rail support platform 6.5 to lift synchronously. In this implementation example, when the guide rail height of different switchgear cabinets is 75mm, the vertical lifting mechanism 6 can be manually operated to lift the guide rail support platform 6.5 to a suitable height, so that the upper guide rail surface of the transfer trolley is on the same horizontal plane as the guide rail surface on the switchgear, which facilitates the insertion of the circuit breaker into the switchgear.
[0041] like Figure 6The diagram shows a two-axis side view of a hand-cranked drive mechanism 7 of a 2-DOF adjustable circuit breaker transfer trolley according to the present invention. To improve manual operability and ensure synchronous lifting of the guide rail support platform 6.5, a gear structure with a certain ratio is used to reduce the large torque generated by the up-and-down self-locking screw pair 6.1 due to the load, until it reaches a torque range that can be manually cranked. A more preferred solution is to fix a bevel tooth A 7.1 at the upper end of the up-and-down self-locking screw 6.1.1 via a keyway, which transmits the torque to another hand-cranked drive mechanism 7 with bevel teeth. This hand-cranked drive mechanism is mounted on the crossbeams 2.4.3 of the left support arm 2.4 and the right support arm 2.5. One end of the bevel tooth engages with the bevel tooth B 7.2 on the up-and-down self-locking screw, and the other end has a bevel tooth C... 7.3 is paired with a hand-cranked bevel gear 7.4 with a hexagonal shaft hole. The two ends of the hand-cranked bevel gear 7.4 are fitted with round holes on the mounting plate and crossbeam 2.4.3 respectively, and are then confined by the mounting plate 7.5 to a position where it cannot move left or right but can rotate smoothly. The synchronization solution involves passing an operating shaft through the hexagonal holes of the hand-cranked bevel gear 7.4 on the left support arm 2.4 and right support arm 2.5. When the operating shaft is cranked using a specially designed one-way hand crank 7.6, the hand-cranked bevel gear 7.4 moves synchronously, ultimately achieving synchronous lifting of the guide rail support platform.
[0042] This invention utilizes a hand-cranked drive mechanism to adjust the horizontal distance between the guide rails of the circuit breaker wheels on the left and right support arms, enabling manual adjustment of the width of the transported circuit breaker. Its vertical lifting mechanism, equipped with a hand-cranked handle, allows for vertical lifting by cranking the handle up and down, ensuring seamless alignment between the transport trolley guide rails and the switchgear guide rails, thus achieving parallel height adjustment of the transported circuit breaker and switchgear. Together, these mechanisms facilitate the installation or maintenance of ZN85 heavy-duty circuit breakers from different manufacturers, from loading to transfer to parallel insertion into the switchgear. This invention provides a transport trolley for the safe transport of ZN85 circuit breakers of varying widths from domestic manufacturers, directly into the KYN61 cabinet. Its adjustable left and right guide rail spacing, synchronous vertical lifting function, good structural load-bearing capacity, strong anti-tipping ability, simple operation, and convenient loading and unloading solve the problems of easy tipping, difficult cabinet delivery, and the need for numerous personnel and tools required for transporting such heavy and high-center-of-gravity circuit breakers. It achieves safe transport and easy cabinet delivery, meeting the application requirements of different widths of ZN85 circuit breakers and cabinet guide rail heights.
