Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a transportation system, and more particularly to a transportation system for circuit breaker switchgear. Background Art

[0002] In the transportation of circuit breaker switchgear, especially for export business, most of them are transported by container. Due to the limitation of container size, the conventional transportation method is to split the product into modules according to the product's operation status. The more split units there are, the higher the container packing rate will be, but it will greatly increase the workload of substation on-site installation.

[0003] Therefore, how to balance the number of split units and the workload of on-site installation is a difficult problem. Usually, the switch body of the circuit breaker switchgear is placed horizontally in the container for operation. However, for the commonly used 40-foot standard cabinet that meets the cost requirements, the bracket assembly, electrical cabinet and multiple arc extinguishing chamber tanks of the switch body need to be disassembled from each other to meet the transportation size requirements, which will increase the workload of on-site installation of the substation. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a transportation system for a circuit breaker switch device, wherein the circuit breaker switch device comprises a switch body, wherein the switch body consists of a bracket assembly, an electrical cabinet and a plurality of arc extinguishing chamber tank bodies connected together, wherein the bracket assembly has a rectangular shape and comprises two short sides opposite to each other in the length direction, two long sides opposite to each other in the width direction, and a top side and a bottom side opposite to each other in the height direction, wherein the bracket assembly comprises four legs parallel to each other and a plurality of connecting rods connected to the legs, wherein when the circuit breaker switch device is in the operating position, the legs stand upright on the ground, the plurality of arc extinguishing chamber tank bodies are arranged parallel to each other and horizontally and are fixed on the top side of the bracket assembly, and the electrical cabinet is fixed on one of the short sides of the bracket assembly, the size of the bracket assembly in the width direction is smaller than its size in the length direction and larger than its size in the height direction, and the transportation system comprises The invention relates to a frame assembly for holding the switch body, the frame assembly comprising: a first frame plate, the first frame plate being removably fixed on the bottom side of the bracket assembly; a second frame plate, the second frame plate being fixed to the first frame plate perpendicularly to the first frame plate, and the second frame plate is located at one of the long sides of the bracket assembly; and four connecting legs parallel to each other, each of the four connecting legs being fixed to one side of the first frame plate perpendicularly to the first frame plate and removably fixed to the corresponding support leg, and two of the four connecting legs being removably fixed to the second frame plate, the transport system being configured to allow the frame assembly to selectively hold the switch body in a first configuration or a second configuration, in the first configuration, the first frame plate being the bottom surface of the frame assembly and being perpendicular to the vertical direction, and in the second configuration, the second frame plate being the bottom surface of the frame assembly and being perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0005] Based on this, by carefully analyzing the dimensions after modular decomposition while retaining the maximum integrity of the product and investigating the market situation of sea freight containers, and comparing the container dimensions of a 40-foot standard container and a 40-foot heightened container, the present disclosure breaks the conventional method that the switch body is placed horizontally in the container for transportation, and designs the switch body to be placed both horizontally and vertically, especially in the container for transportation in a vertical position. In addition, a matching safety protection design is made to further meet the requirements of transportation safety. During the entire transportation process, for the switch body as an integral unit with various components connected together, land transportation can adopt a conventional and safer horizontal placement method (i.e., the frame assembly holds the switch body in the first configuration). After the cargo is collected at the port, it is placed vertically in the container (i.e., the frame assembly holds the switch body in the second configuration), and the container is correspondingly replaced by a standard container (e.g., a 40-foot standard container) with a heightened container (e.g., a 40-foot heightened container). In addition, considering that the freight difference between a 40-foot standard container and a 40-foot heightened container in the shipping market is almost negligible, the present invention significantly reduces the workload of on-site installation of the substation while hardly increasing the transportation cost, thereby achieving a better balance between the workload of on-site installation of the substation and the transportation cost.

[0006] Furthermore, the first frame plate and / or the second frame plate include a plurality of connecting beams intersecting and connected to each other, thereby improving the structural stability of the first frame plate and / or the second frame plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the plurality of connecting beams include a plurality of mutually parallel transverse beams and a plurality of mutually parallel longitudinal beams, and the transverse beams are perpendicular to the longitudinal beams. Accordingly, manufacturing convenience can be improved.

[0008] Furthermore, the first frame plate and / or the second frame plate are made of wood. Accordingly, the manufacturing cost of the frame assembly can be reduced.

[0009] Further, each of the four connecting legs is made of metal and includes a base and an angle profile extending from the base, the base is used to be fixed on the first frame plate, the inner surface of the angle profile is used to be connected to the corresponding leg, and the outer surface of the angle profile of each of the two connecting legs is used to be connected to the second frame plate. Accordingly, the supporting effect of the frame assembly can be improved.

[0010] Furthermore, the first frame plate and the second frame plate have a rectangular shape, each of the first frame plate and the second frame plate has two long sides opposite to each other, and one long side of the first frame plate is connected to one long side of the second frame plate. Accordingly, the space utilization rate of the container can be improved.

[0011] Furthermore, the frame assembly further comprises a reinforcing beam made of metal, and the reinforcing beam is arranged at the other long side of the second frame plate. Accordingly, the supporting effect of the frame assembly can be further improved.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame assembly further comprises at least one inclined beam made of metal, a first end of the inclined beam being fixed to the reinforcing beam and a second end of the inclined beam opposite to the first end passing through a space between two adjacent arc extinguishing chamber tanks and being removably fixed to the support assembly. Accordingly, the supporting effect of the frame assembly can be further improved.

[0013] Furthermore, one of the plurality of connecting rods is fixed between two other connecting legs of the four connecting legs that are not connected to the second frame plate, and the second end of the cable-stayed beam is removably fixed to the one connecting rod. Accordingly, the supporting effect of the frame assembly can be further improved.

[0014] Furthermore, the transportation system further comprises a container for accommodating the frame assembly and the switch body connected together. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
