Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs exclusively to the technical field of high-voltage DC insulation, and particularly focuses on a multi-functional ultra-high voltage insulation performance test platform device. This device aims to solve key problems such as diverse test requirements, high safety requirements, and the balance between test efficiency and accuracy in current high-voltage DC insulation performance evaluation, and provides a set of efficient, accurate, and adaptable test solutions for industries such as power transmission, accelerator technology, and semiconductor manufacturing that require high-voltage insulation guarantee. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, due to the continuous increase in the demand for power transmission voltage in high-voltage transmission systems, the power bus structure has gradually shifted to the use of metal-enclosed gas insulation technology (GIS), which significantly reduces the floor area and exhibits excellent anti-external electromagnetic environment interference ability and advantages in terms of easy operation and maintenance management. Currently, as the choice of key insulating medium, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and dry air are widely used due to their excellent insulation characteristics, and the research on the insulation performance of internal insulating components has entered a mature stage.

[0003] However, in specific application scenarios, such as those requiring extremely high purity or avoiding the release of specific chemical substances, vacuum insulation technology becomes a necessary choice. Although there is a certain amount of literature and practical experience in the performance evaluation of insulating components in vacuum media under low-voltage conditions, under high-voltage conditions, relevant performance data is still scarce and there is a lack of direct reference standards. Therefore, in high-voltage vacuum insulation design, it often relies on estimation and simulation methods, which lead to two major challenges in the design process: on the one hand, insufficient design margin may cause discharge breakdown during the power-on process, seriously threatening system safety; on the other hand, excessive increase in design margin to ensure safety will result in a significant increase in equipment volume and unnecessary waste of raw material resources. Therefore, exploring precise design theories and methods applicable to high-voltage vacuum insulation has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The core objective of the present invention is to design and implement a high-performance ultra-high voltage insulation performance test platform device with multi-functionality, aiming to overcome the limitations of the existing technology. This device aims to comprehensively evaluate the ultra-high voltage insulation withstand characteristics of various materials in a vacuum environment, accurately measure and record key parameters, and then, based on this, scientifically formulate vacuum insulation parameter standards for high-voltage components to ensure full satisfaction of insulation performance and effectively optimize the overall size of the equipment to achieve miniaturization of the volume.

[0005] In addition, the test platform device also has a flexible gas injection function, which can accommodate and test the insulation performance of various gases under diverse conditions, including but not limited to the influence of variables such as temperature and pressure on the insulation performance, thereby providing solid data support and technical guidance for the selection and optimization of gas insulation materials in different application scenarios.

[0006] To achieve the above object, a multifunctional ultra-high voltage insulation performance test platform device of the present invention comprises a high-voltage incoming line unit, a vacuum test unit, an auxiliary air extraction unit, and a detection platform; wherein,

[0007] The high-voltage incoming line unit is used for placing a high-voltage power supply and is filled with SF6 gas inside.

[0008] The vacuum test unit is used for testing the insulation characteristics of insulating parts and is evacuated inside.

[0009] The auxiliary air extraction unit is used for extracting air from the vacuum test unit to ensure the internal vacuum degree.

[0011] The high-voltage incoming line unit is respectively installed on both sides of the vacuum test unit; the auxiliary air unit is connected to the vacuum test unit, and the maintenance platform is placed at the maintenance opening of the vacuum test unit.

[0014] 2. Insulation performance test of large-area high-energy positive and negative ion source: Further, the platform can also perform insulation performance tests on large-area, high-energy positive and negative ion source acceleration electrodes under different vacuum conditions, filling the gap in the insulation evaluation of such complex and high-performance electrodes by traditional test means, and providing strong support for insulation design in fields such as advanced accelerator systems and ion beam technology.

[0015] 3. Space optimization and reduction of floor area: Through elaborate structural design and layout optimization, the test platform of the present invention realizes a significant reduction in the overall volume, effectively reduces the floor area, improves the space utilization efficiency of the test laboratory, and is also conducive to the transportation and deployment of test equipment.
