Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a full-range advancing device for on-load tap changer accumulator, accumulator, and on-load tap changer. BACKGROUND

[0002] Based on the existing robot technology, especially the bionic robot technology, the speed and force performance parameters of the power component are affected by the structure, control component and signal transmission function.

[0003] Based on the research of bionic robots, the joints of the human body will form explosive movements around the joints due to the driving of the muscles. Since the linear motion device is the most appropriate form to simulate human muscle movement, it cannot be used to simulate small muscle tissue. In this case, the swinging device can be used to simulate the movement of the muscles rotating around the joints.

[0004] The main structure of the swinging device is a servo motor cooperating with the rotating shaft to move. Based on the characteristics of human muscles, the output structure is variable force and variable speed. For the joints of the human body, there can be explosive output with large torque and high speed, or small force and slow movement. Therefore, the general large inertia servo motor cannot meet the condition of crossing multiple output conditions.

[0005] In summary, the swinging device to be designed needs to meet multiple output conditions, including explosive output and small force and slow output, which can simulate the explosive force of the human body at the joints.

The two Geneva intermittent mechanisms are staggered in the vertical direction; the two cam gears are driven by the same central gear. The positional relationship of the two Geneva intermittent mechanisms satisfies the following constraint conditions: when the driving cam of one of the Geneva intermittent mechanisms rotates by an angle of a1, the cam pin cooperates with the root tip slot on the driven Geneva wheel to make the advancing plate on the driven Geneva wheel rotate by an angle of a to advance; when the driving cam of the other Geneva intermittent mechanism rotates by an angle of (360°-a1), the cam pin is located at the opening of the root slot.

[0007] Since the full-stroke advancing device adopts the full-stroke advancing mechanism composed of the cam gear, the driving cam, the driven Geneva wheel and the advancing plate, the mechanism is complex, the control points cannot be adjusted, etc. Therefore, an adjustable pneumatic device is needed to store energy. According to the innovative design method in the Modern Mechanical Design Method, the "foreign matter combination method" in the entity element combination innovation method is adopted to combine the pneumatic energy storage device for fluid power with the control motor for electric power to make up for the shortcomings of each other.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the present invention discloses a voltage-regulating, energy-storing and releasing oscillating device, comprising an electromagnetic keyed shaft 20, an energy storage device 21, and a servo motor 22. The electromagnetic keyed shaft 20 is housed within the energy storage device 21. The extension and retraction of the sliding key 3 switches the torque input to the energy storage plate 12 of the energy storage device 21, thus switching the energy storage-release mode of the energy storage device 21. The servo motor is directly connected to the output flange via the electromagnetic keyed shaft. The servo motor drives the output flange to rotate via the electromagnetic keyed shaft, achieving a non-energy storage-release mode.

[0033] The movement process of the voltage-regulating, energy-storing and releasing oscillating device of the present invention is as follows: When the sliding key in the electromagnetic key shaft retracts, the energy storage device does not function and does not begin to store energy. When the sliding key in the electromagnetic key shaft extends, the energy storage device stores energy under the drive of the key, and then the energy is released when the sliding key is retracted.

[0034] This pusher has two modes: energy storage-release mode and non-energy storage-release mode.

[0035] The two parts of the energy storage-release mode work together as follows:

[0036] (1) The sliding key in the electromagnetic key shaft retracts;

[0037] (2) The servo motor drives the electromagnetic belt key shaft to select the corresponding keyway position (using Hall element positioning sensing);

[0038] (3) The sliding key extends out of the electromagnetic belt key shaft;

[0039] (4) Driven by the sliding key, the energy storage device begins to store energy;

[0040] (5) The external pressure regulating system adjusts the internal pressure of the air bag, and adjusts the stored air pressure energy;

[0041] (6) The sliding key in the electromagnetic shaft is retracted, and the energy storage is released.

[0042] The three-part cooperation of the non-energy storage-release mode is as follows:

[0043] (1) The sliding key in the electromagnetic shaft is always retracted;

[0044] (2) The servo motor directly drives the output flange to rotate through the shaft.

[0045] The structure of each part will be introduced in detail below.

[0046] (1) Electromagnetic shaft

[0047] As shown in Figures 5-8 , the electromagnetic shaft 20 includes a left shaft head 1, a left plug-in electromagnetic coil 2, a sliding shaft 3, a spring 4, a sliding key 5, a shaft shell 6, a right plug-in electromagnetic coil 7, a right shaft head 8, a limiting screw 9, and a limiting nut 10. The shaft shell 6 is fixedly connected to the left shaft head 1 and the right shaft head 8 at both ends, respectively. The sliding shaft 3 is installed in the shaft shell 6 through the left plug-in electromagnetic coil 2 and the right plug-in electromagnetic coil 7 fixed in the shaft shell 6 at both ends. The middle part of the sliding shaft 3 is provided with a wedge surface structure, and the wedge surface structure is connected to the sliding key 5. The sliding key 5 is located in the sliding groove on the upper surface of the middle part of the shaft shell 6 and can move up and down along the sliding groove. The limiting screw 9 is arranged in the limiting groove in the middle of the sliding key 5, and the limiting screw 9 passes through the sliding shaft 3 and is connected and fixed with the spring 4 and the limiting nut 10.

[0048] The main feature of the electromagnetic shaft is that the middle sliding shaft 3 can be pushed to move by the plug-in coil through the switching coil power-on mode. In the movement process of the middle sliding shaft 3, the wedge surface structure drives the sliding key 5 to slide in the middle sliding groove, to drive the sliding key to extend and retract. The extension and retraction of the sliding key 5 serve to switch whether the torque needs to be input to the energy storage pressure piece of the energy storage device.

[0049] (2) Energy storage device

[0050] As shown in Figures 9-11 , the energy storage device 21 includes an anti-collision block 11, an energy storage pressure piece 12, a pressure regulating valve 13, and an air bag 14. The air bag 14 is provided with the energy storage pressure piece 12 on one side, and is provided with the pressure regulating valve 13 and the anti-collision block 11 on the other side.

[0051] The function of the energy storage device is to compress the cavity, so that the pressure inside the cavity and the air bag changes, and then adjust the internal pressure of the air bag to match the required pressure, and finally release it through the sliding key in the electromagnetic shaft.

[0052] The pressure of the outer cavity and the pressure of the inner cavity constitute the energy stored by the energy storage device at this time. Since the inner cavity is in communication with the outside, a one-way valve, a reversing electromagnetic valve, a digital pressure gauge, a servo variable pump system, and other pressure control elements are provided on the pipeline in communication with the outside at this time, and the pressure of the energy storage device is changed by increasing or decreasing the pressure of the inner cavity.

[0053] When it is necessary to increase the energy storage, the inner cavity can be pressurized, and when the energy storage is to be reduced, the inner cavity can be depressurized.
