Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of resistance value detection of circuit breaker closing resistor, and specifically to a device for manually opening and closing circuit breakers. Background Technology
[0002] The closing resistor in the arc-extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker suppresses overvoltage generated when the resistive moving contact and resistive stationary contact of the main circuit in the arc-extinguishing chamber close. With prolonged operation, the resistance value may change significantly, potentially failing to meet the requirement that "the closing resistance value should not exceed ±5% of the factory value" during power grid operation. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the closing resistor value during circuit breaker use to ensure that the resistance value meets the requirements. During testing, the closing resistor circuit must be in the connected state while the main circuit is in the disconnected state.
[0003] Currently, the power grid has increasingly stringent requirements for the testing of operating power plants, necessitating the testing of the closing resistance of circuit breakers in a non-disassembled state according to power grid equipment technical standards. Therefore, it is essential to design a device for testing the closing resistance value in a non-disassembled state.
[0004] Since the main circuit of the circuit breaker needs to be grounded at both ends, the closing resistance can be measured with a multimeter using the grounding switches on both sides of the circuit breaker, achieving testing without disassembly. The operating mechanism drives the resistor circuit and the main circuit to connect sequentially. Under the drive of the operating mechanism, the resistor circuit connects before the main circuit. Therefore, as long as the driving mechanism stops driving the main circuit after connecting the resistor circuit, the operator can indirectly measure the closing resistance in the closed state by measuring the grounding switches on both sides of the circuit breaker. However, the resistor circuit and the main circuit in the circuit breaker use the same operating mechanism. While the operating mechanism is driving the resistor circuit to connect, it also drives the main circuit to connect. Since the operating mechanism cannot stop at the position between opening and closing, the normal operation of the operating mechanism cannot achieve the state where the closing resistor makes electrical contact while the main contacts are not in contact.
[0005] The current arc-extinguishing chamber has a crank arm box on its moving end. The crank arm box has an external crank arm for transmission connection with the operating mechanism. If manual operation of the external crank arm is considered to achieve manual closing, manual operation is not possible due to friction on the transmission path and large insertion force of the closing resistor contacts. Furthermore, when the moving contact of the closing resistor contacts the stationary contact of the closing resistor, the closing spring on the stationary contact of the closing resistor will have a rebound force, making it difficult to maintain an accurate closing resistor detection position. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a manual opening and closing device for circuit breakers for detecting closing resistance, thereby solving the technical problems in the prior art where the outer crank arm cannot be manually driven and the closing resistance detection position is difficult to maintain during closing resistance detection. This invention also provides a circuit breaker to solve the technical problems in the prior art where the outer crank arm cannot be manually driven and the closing resistance detection position is difficult to maintain during closing resistance detection.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the circuit breaker manual opening and closing device for detecting closing resistance provided by the present invention is as follows: The circuit breaker manual opening and closing device for detecting closing resistance includes two door frame connecting plates for installation on the door frame of the circuit breaker. A reducer mounting base is installed on the door frame connecting plates, and a reducer with a self-locking function is installed on the reducer mounting base. The reducer has an output end and an input end. The output end is connected to a drive shaft, and the end of the drive shaft is connected to an outer crank arm connecting base for driving the outer crank arm of the circuit breaker's arc-extinguishing chamber.

One of the mounting bases has a first elongated hole and the other has a second elongated hole, and / or, one of the door frame connecting plates and the door frame has a first elongated hole and the other has a second elongated hole, and / or, the part of the door frame connecting plate used for connecting with the reducer mounting base has a first elongated hole and the part used for connecting with the door frame has a second elongated hole. The first elongated hole and the second elongated hole are perpendicular to each other, allowing connecting bolts to pass through to fix two corresponding components in the door frame, the door frame connecting plate and the reducer mounting base and to adjust the horizontal and vertical positions of the drive shaft so that the drive shaft is aligned with the swing axis of the outer crank arm.
[0008] The beneficial effects are as follows: The manual opening and closing device for circuit breaker used for closing resistance detection provided by this invention mounts a self-locking reducer on the door frame connecting plate via a reducer mounting base. This allows for relative fixation between the reducer and the door frame connecting plate, facilitating stable torque output from the reducer. The transmission shaft configuration increases the lever arm for driving the outer crank arm, reducing the driving force required to drive the outer crank arm. Operation is simple. The reducer's self-locking function prevents rebound after the closing resistance is closed, improving the efficiency of closing resistance detection and keeping the closing resistance in the closed position. The alignment of the transmission shaft's axial direction with the swing axis of the outer crank arm maximizes the lever arm between the reducer's output end and the outer crank arm, improving torque transmission efficiency between the reducer's output end and the outer crank arm. Compared with existing technologies, this invention allows the main circuit to be disconnected while the resistance circuit in the arc-extinguishing chamber is connected, thus meeting the state requirements for detecting the closing resistance value.

[0019] As a further improvement, the reducer mounting base includes a transverse connecting plate for connecting with the door frame connecting plate, and a stiffening plate perpendicular to the plane of the transverse connecting plate.
[0020] The beneficial effects are: the addition of stiffeners helps to increase the overall strength of the reducer mounting base, which helps to improve the stability of the reducer, and thus helps to ensure the stability of the closing resistor during opening and closing.

Compared with the prior art, this invention allows the main circuit to be disconnected while the resistance circuit in the arc-extinguishing chamber is connected, thus meeting the state requirements for detecting the closing resistor value.
[0023] As a further improvement, the outer crank arm connecting seat is a U-shaped structure, including a base plate and side plates disposed on both sides of the base plate, for fastening onto the outer crank arm in a manner where the base plate is perpendicular to the swing axis of the outer crank arm, and the side plates are used to snap onto both sides of the swing direction of the outer crank arm.

[0052] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0053] Embodiment 1 of the circuit breaker provided in this invention:
[0054] The circuit breaker includes an arc-extinguishing chamber and a manual circuit breaker opening and closing device. The arc-extinguishing chamber is equipped with a closing resistor circuit, and an outer crank arm 12 is provided outside the arc-extinguishing resistor to drive the closing resistor circuit to be connected. The manual circuit breaker opening and closing device is used to drive the outer crank arm 12 to move, thereby driving the closing resistor circuit to be connected.
[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer crank arm 12 is a plate-like structure with flat sides serving as snap-fit surfaces 31 for cooperation with the manual opening and closing device. The outer crank arm 12 has a pivot hole 13 for mounting onto a pivot on the outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber. A groove 14 is provided on one side of the pivot hole 13, dividing the outer crank arm 12 into two clamping plates 17. These clamping plates 17 have a clearance to allow for mutual separation, thus appropriately enlarging the size of the pivot hole 13. One of the clamping plates 17 on the outer crank arm 12 is provided with a threaded hole 15, and the other clamping plate 17 is provided with a clear hole 16 corresponding to the threaded hole 15. Through-hole fastening screws are installed, allowing the two clamping plates 17 to clamp the pivot on the arc-extinguishing chamber.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the circuit breaker manual opening and closing device includes a door frame connecting plate 1, a reducer mounting base 4, and a reducer 9 mounted on the reducer mounting base 4. The output end 7 of the reducer 9 is connected to an outer crank arm connecting base 11 via a transmission shaft 10. The outer crank arm connecting base 11 is used to connect to an outer crank arm 12. Under the drive of the reducer 9, the outer crank arm connecting base 11 drives the outer crank arm 12 to move so that the closing resistor in the arc extinguishing chamber closes.
[0057] Two door frame connecting plates 1 are provided, and the two door frame connecting plates 1 have identical structures. Each door frame connecting plate 1 has a door frame connecting part 5, which has two rows of fixing holes arranged vertically and horizontally in an L-shape. The vertically arranged fixing holes correspond to the connecting holes on the side door frame 27 of the circuit breaker, and the horizontally arranged fixing holes correspond to the connecting holes on the bottom door frame 28. During connection, fastening screws are inserted through the corresponding fixing holes and connecting holes to connect the door frame connecting plate 1 to the door frame 26 of the circuit breaker. Figure 3 As shown, the side door frame 27 and the bottom door frame 28 together form the door frame 26 of the circuit breaker. The part of the door frame connecting part 5 surrounded by the vertically arranged fixing holes and the two horizontally arranged fixing holes forms the mounting base connecting part 6. The mounting base connecting part 6 is provided with a horizontal elongated hole 2 extending in the vertical direction and located in the plane of the door frame 26 of the circuit breaker. The horizontal elongated hole 2 serves as the first elongated hole for the reducer mounting base 4 to be connected.
[0058] The reducer mounting base 4 is a plate-like structure, including a horizontal connecting plate 30 on which the reducer 9 is mounted. Vertical elongated holes 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the horizontal connecting plate 30 on the reducer mounting base 4. These vertical elongated holes 3 serve as secondary elongated holes, and their positions correspond to the positions of the horizontal elongated holes 2 on the two door frame connecting plates 1. The reducer mounting base 4 can be fixed to the two door frame connecting plates 1 by inserting fastening screws through the horizontal elongated holes 2 and vertical elongated holes 3. Furthermore, because the diameter of the fastening screws is small, the vertical elongated holes 3 provide vertical movement space for the screws, allowing the reducer mounting base 4 to be adjusted vertically relative to the door frame connecting plates 1. The horizontal elongated holes 2 provide horizontal movement space for the screws, allowing the reducer mounting base 4 to be adjusted horizontally relative to the door frame connecting plates 1.
[0059] The transverse connecting plate 30 of the reducer mounting base 4 is also provided with multiple stiffening plates 29 arranged at intervals along the transverse direction. The plane of each stiffening plate 29 is perpendicular to the plane of the door frame connecting plate 1, which is used to increase the overall structural strength of the reducer mounting base 4.
[0060] like Figure 5As shown, the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 has a U-shaped structure. The outer crank arm connecting seat 11 includes two side plates 18 arranged at intervals, a base plate 19, and a fixing arm 20. The roots of the two side plates 18 are connected together through the base plate 19. The specific shape of the two side plates 18 is adapted to the shape of the snapping plane 31 of the outer crank arm 12. The interval between the two side plates 18 is adapted to the size of the outer crank arm 12 so that the two side plates 18 can clamp the outer crank arm 12.
[0061] The fixed arm 20 has an L-shaped structure and is located beside the base plate 19, parallel to the side plate 18, for connection with the outer crank arm 12. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the fixed arm 20 is provided with screw holes. During connection, the fastening screws are passed through the screw holes, the smooth hole 16 and the threaded hole 15 on the fixed arm 20 in sequence. With the fastening screws tightened, the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 is fixed on the outer crank arm 12.
[0062] like Figure 7 As shown, the drive shaft 10 includes a shaft body 22 and a bushing 23. The shaft body 22 is a square shaft, and one end of the shaft body 22 near the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 is used to connect to the outer crank arm connecting seat 11. Specifically, the end of the shaft body 22 is provided with a fixing groove 24, and the center of the bottom plate 19 of the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 is provided with a square hole 25. The corners of the bottom plate 19 and the two side plates 18 of the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 are provided with L-shaped slots 21. The bottom wall of the slot 21 is provided with screw holes that communicate with the square holes 25. By inserting fastening screws through the screw holes, the fastening screws are pressed tightly against the bottom of the fixing groove 24 on the shaft body 22 to connect the shaft body 22 to the outer crank arm 12.
[0063] The bushing 23 has a square cylindrical structure. The end of the bushing 23 facing away from the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 has a flat keyway for keyed connection with the output end 7 of the reducer 9. One end of the shaft body 22 facing away from the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 is inserted into the bushing 23 and can slide within the bushing 23 to adjust the distance between the reducer output end 7 and the outer crank arm connecting seat 11. The bushing 23 has screw holes for screwing screws into after the shaft body 22 has slid to a suitable position within the bushing 23. The end of the screw presses tightly against the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 22 to axially limit its movement.
[0064] The reducer 9 has a self-locking function. In this embodiment, the reducer 9 is a worm gear reducer. The reducer 9 has an input end and an output end 7. The output end 7 of the reducer 9 is inserted into the bushing 23 and connected to the bushing 23 by a flat key, so that the output end 7 stops rotating from the bushing 23, allowing the output end 7 of the reducer 9 to drive the bushing 23 to rotate. The input end of the reducer 9 is provided with a handle 8, which is T-shaped and includes a horizontal part and a vertical part. The vertical part is fixed to the input end of the reducer 9, and the horizontal part is operated by the operator to drive the input end of the reducer 9 to rotate. Worm gear reducers are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0065] Before testing the closing resistance of the circuit breaker, first fix the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 to the outer crank arm 12 outside the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker, and then connect the shaft body 22 of the drive shaft 10 to the outer crank arm connecting seat 11; then install the reducer 9 on the reducer mounting seat 4, connect the bushing 23 of the drive shaft 10 to the output end 7 of the reducer 9, and fit the bushing 23 onto the shaft body 22, fix the two door frame connecting plates 1 to the two door frames 26 of the circuit breaker respectively, then adjust the relative position of the reducer mounting seat 4 and the door frame connecting plate 1 according to the actual situation, and let the bushing 23 move along the axial direction of the shaft body 22 so that the output end 7 of the reducer 9 on the reducer mounting seat 4 is aligned with the swing axis of the outer crank arm 12, and the output end 7 of the reducer 9 and the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 reach a suitable distance, then fix the reducer mounting seat 4 to the two door frame connecting plates 1, and then fix the bushing 23 to the shaft body 22.
[0066] When testing the closing resistance of the circuit breaker, the operator manually and slowly rotates handle 8. The rotating handle 8 drives the internal structure of the reducer 9 to move, transmitting torque to the output end 7 of the reducer 9. The output end 7 of the reducer 9 drives the bushing 23 to drive the shaft body 22, which in turn drives the outer crank arm connecting seat 11 to rotate. The outer crank arm connecting seat 11 drives the outer crank arm 12 to swing. The swinging outer crank arm 12 drives the moving contact of the closing resistor in the arc-extinguishing chamber to slowly approach the stationary contact of the closing resistor through the transmission rod inside the arc-extinguishing chamber, so that the resistance circuit is closed. After the resistance circuit is closed, handle 8 is no longer operated, so that the main circuit is in the open state. Under the self-locking function of the worm gear reducer, the moving contact of the closing resistor remains in the closed position. Then, the resistance value of the closing resistor is measured by a multimeter using the grounding switches on both sides of the main circuit.
[0067] The circuit breaker provided by this invention mounts a self-locking reducer 9 onto a door frame connecting plate 1 via a reducer mounting base 4. This allows for relative fixation between the reducer 9 and the door frame connecting plate 1, facilitating stable torque output from the reducer 9. The transmission shaft 10 increases the lever arm for driving the outer crank arm 12, reducing the driving force required to drive the outer crank arm 12. This simplifies operation. The self-locking function of the reducer 9 prevents rebound after the closing resistor is closed, improving the efficiency of closing resistor detection and keeping the closing resistor in the closed position. The axial direction of the transmission shaft 10 is aligned with the swing axis of the outer crank arm 12, maximizing the lever arm between the output end 7 of the reducer 9 and the outer crank arm 12, thus improving the torque transmission efficiency between the output end 7 of the reducer 9 and the outer crank arm 12. Compared with existing technologies, this invention allows the main circuit to be disconnected while the resistance circuit in the arc-extinguishing chamber is connected, meeting the state requirements for detecting the closing resistor value.
