Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system equipment, and particularly relates to a modular half-axis tripping device. Background Art
[0002] A high-voltage circuit breaker (or high-voltage switch) can not only cut off or close the no-load current and load current in a high-voltage circuit, but also, when a system fault occurs, cut off the overload current and short-circuit current under the action of a relay protection device. It has a quite perfect arc extinguishing structure and sufficient current breaking capacity, and can be divided into: oil circuit breakers (multi-oil circuit breakers, less-oil circuit breakers), sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers (SF6 circuit breakers), compressed air circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers, etc.
[0003] The high-voltage circuit breaker plays a control role in a high-voltage circuit and is one of the important electrical components in a high-voltage circuit. The circuit breaker is used to connect or disconnect a circuit during normal operation, and quickly disconnect the circuit under the action of a relay protection device in case of a fault, and reliably connect the short-circuit current under special circumstances (such as when automatically reclosing onto a faulty line). The high-voltage circuit breaker is a special electrical appliance for connecting or disconnecting a high-voltage circuit under normal or fault conditions.
[0004] Currently, the closing and opening bent plates of the half-axis release mechanism in the used vacuum circuit breaker are plastic parts, which are prone to breakage during long-term use; the transmission energy of the original mechanism is concentrated, the action time is short, which is not conducive to the arc extinguishing of the primary circuit arc chamber; and some parts are subjected to large forces and are prone to damage; both ends of the opening shaft of the mechanism adopt oil-free bearings. Due to structural limitations, during the shrinkage process of the oil-free bearing entering the shaft hole, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of jamming of the opening shaft.

[0026] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0027] When operating the closing coil H1, the top of the coil pushes the closing bent plate H2, causing it to rotate together with the closing half shaft H3 around the needle roller bearing H5. Under the action of the force of the first self-resetting torsion spring H7, the top of the closing pawl H6 is released from the notch of the closing half shaft H3. Further, due to the rotation of the closing pawl H6, the closing cam H8 is released, and thus the mechanism closes. Under the action of the closing reset spring H4, the components return to their original positions.
[0028] The closing coil H1 is fixed to the mechanism housing by screws; the closing half shaft H3, the first needle roller bearing H5, and the closing reset spring H4 are connected to the holes on the mechanism housing by means of shaft-hole fitting, and their positions are restricted by shaft retaining rings; the closing bent plate H2 is fixedly connected to the closing half shaft H3 by screws; the closing pawl H6 is connected to the rotating shaft F8 and the first self-resetting torsion spring H7 by means of shaft-hole fitting.
[0029] When operating the opening coil F1, the top of the coil pushes the opening bent plate F2 (metal), causing it to rotate together with the opening half shaft F5 around the second needle roller bearing F3. Under the action of the force of the second self-resetting torsion spring F7, the top of the opening toggle arm F9 is released from the notch of the opening half shaft F5. Further, due to the rotation of the opening toggle arm F9, the opening toggle arm F9 is released, and thus the mechanism opens. Under the action of the opening reset spring F4, the components return to their original positions.
[0030] The opening coil F1 is fixed to the mechanism housing by screws; the opening half shaft F5, the second needle roller bearing F3, and the opening reset spring F4 are connected to the holes on the mechanism housing by means of shaft-hole fitting, and their positions are restricted by shaft retaining rings; the opening bent plate F2 is fixedly connected to the opening half shaft F5 by screws; the opening pawl F6 is connected to the rotating shaft F8 and the second self-resetting torsion spring F7 by means of shaft-hole fitting.
