Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrical technology, specifically relating to a drop-out fuse that is easy to operate from the ground. Background Technology
[0002] Drop-out fuses are the most commonly used short-circuit protection switches for 10kV distribution line branches and distribution transformers. They are economical, easy to operate, and highly adaptable to outdoor environments. They are widely used on the primary side of 10kV distribution lines and distribution transformers for protection and equipment switching operations.
[0003] However, existing fuse technology has the following problems: when the ground operator holds the slender operating rod, it is impossible for their hand to remain absolutely stable. At the top of the operating rod, due to the leverage effect, the small tremors of the hand are amplified into a large sway. Ordinary drop devices only have a small ring to connect the operating rod, but for drop devices installed at a high position, it is difficult for the ground operator to insert the operating rod into the ring smoothly in one go. Summary of the Invention
[0004] A drop-out fuse that is easy to operate on the ground includes at least a fuse tube and a connector. The connector includes a mounting base on the right side of the fuse tube, a check device on the mounting base, and a release device on the mounting base. An operating space is formed around the release device and the check device.
[0005] The check valve allows the operating lever to be inserted into the operating space in one direction and cannot be retracted;
[0006] The exit device allows the lever to exit.
[0007] As a further implementation plan:
[0008] The anti-return mechanism includes:
[0009] The articulated boom includes a boom base located in the lower half of the mounting base, a hinge chamber formed inside the boom base, hinge sockets formed on both sides of the hinge chamber, a boom spindle rotatably located in a pair of hinge sockets, a boom body formed at the upper end of the boom spindle, an enlarged end formed at the distal end of the boom body, an end slot formed in the enlarged end, and an end spindle formed in the end slot.
[0010] The reset device includes a spring base on the side of the boom body, a plate-shaped spring on the spring base and abutting against the mounting base, and a baffle on the right side of the boom base and abutting against the boom body.
[0011] The anti-return forearm includes a forearm body rotatably sleeved on the end spindle and a return torsion spring wound around the end spindle. One end of the return torsion spring is connected to the forearm body and the other end is connected to the end slot. The return torsion spring drives the forearm body to abut against the compression spring base.
[0012] As a further implementation plan:
[0013] Specifically, the withdrawal device includes an upper base, a rotatable withdrawal shaft disposed within the upper base, and a torsion reset assembly for driving the withdrawal shaft to rotate.
[0014] The upper foundation includes an inclined foundation that slopes from the upper left to the lower right, a rotating chamber located within the inclined foundation, a narrow-diameter lower hole formed at the lower end of the rotating chamber, an inner round shaft formed within the rotating chamber, an axial slide rail formed on the outer wall of the inner round shaft, and a vertical slot located on one side of the end of the axial slide rail.
[0015] The exit shaft includes a rotatable rotating sleeve fitted on an internal circular shaft, an upper retaining ring formed on the upper edge of the outer wall of the rotating sleeve, a compression spring wound around the rotating sleeve, and a snap-fit plug formed on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve and engaged with a vertical slot. The upper end of the compression spring abuts against the upper retaining ring, and the lower end abuts against a narrow-diameter lower hole. The exit shaft also includes a C-shaped outer ring on the lower edge of the rotating sleeve and a guide arm formed on the lower edge of the C-shaped outer ring.
[0016] The torsion reset assembly includes an axial side hole formed along the outer wall of the rotating sleeve, a torsion ring groove formed in the inner wall of the narrow-diameter lower hole, a rotatable torsion sleeve disposed in the torsion ring groove, a torsion plug formed in the inner wall of the torsion sleeve and inserted into the axial side hole, and a torsion spring wound around the outer wall of the torsion sleeve, one end of the torsion spring being connected to the torsion sleeve and the other end being connected to the torsion ring groove.
[0017] As a further implementation plan:
[0018] More specifically, the upper end of the guide arm is also provided with an inclined end face that slopes from the lower left to the upper right.
[0019] As a further implementation plan:
[0020] The lower left side of the inclined foundation is also provided with a receiving slot for accommodating the forearm body.
[0021] As a more specific and further implementation plan:
[0022] The connector is made entirely of insulating material.
[0023] Beneficial effects:
[0024] The drop-out fuse described in this case is designed for convenient ground operation. Its connector allows ground personnel to operate it by holding a lever. A guide space with a narrow top and wide bottom is formed between the lower guide arm and the upper articulated arm. When the ground operator holds the slender lever, the lever is placed between the lower guide arm and the upper articulated arm from bottom to top and then lifted upwards. Even if the lever shakes, it will be constrained within the guide space by the lower guide arm and the upper articulated arm.
[0025] The check mechanism in this case can accommodate the upward sliding of the operating rod in one direction. After the operating rod enters the operating space, it can be used for closing and opening operations: the crossbar at the end of the operating rod is inserted through the gap between the guide arm and the check device; the crossbar presses the hinged upper arm upward, causing it to overcome the damping of the plate spring and rotate closer to the mounting base; while the lower end of the check arm rotates around the end mandrel, its upper end moves along the mounting base; the crossbar enters the operating space after passing the hinged upper arm.
[0026] The withdrawal device described in this case normally locks the operating lever to prevent it from retracting; after slightly twisting the operating lever, the withdrawal device can be unlocked, and pulling the withdrawal device downwards will retract the operating lever.
[0027] The operating lever and crossbar described in this case drive the exit shaft to rotate, and the snap-fit plug slides into the axial slide rail from the vertical slot; then the operating lever and crossbar are pulled down, driving the exit shaft to move downward against the damping of the compression spring; until the distance between the C-shaped outer ring and the upper end of the hinged arm is large enough, the crossbar slides out from the gap between the lower end of the C-shaped outer ring and the upper end of the hinged arm.
