[0040] Embodiment 1:

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment provides a test method for dynamic breakdown of an environmentally friendly gas-type disconnecting switch, comprising the steps of: S1, obtaining a test device and a breakdown voltage control circuit, and connecting the test device and the breakdown voltage control circuit; S2, driving the moving contact 221 in the test device to move in a direction toward the static contact 222 in the test device, and at the same time gradually increasing the breakdown voltage through the breakdown voltage control circuit, thereby completing closing; S3, driving the moving contact 221 in the test device to move in a direction away from the static contact 222 in the test device, and at the same time gradually reducing the breakdown voltage through the breakdown voltage control circuit, thereby completing opening; S4, obtaining the movement distance and corresponding breakdown voltage of the moving contact 221 in the closing and opening, so as to obtain multiple groups of electrode distances and the corresponding breakdown voltages of each group, respectively, thereby completing the dynamic insulation breakdown test of the environmentally friendly gas-type disconnecting switch.

[0042] like Figure 1-3As shown, the test device includes an air chamber, a test assembly and an observation assembly. The air chamber includes a test chamber 110 and a pressure stabilizing chamber 120, and the test assembly includes a gas charging and discharging assembly 210, a switch-opening assembly 220, a control assembly 230 for controlling the switch-opening assembly 220, and a displacement sensor (not shown in the drawings) for monitoring the electrode distance of the switch-opening assembly 220.

[0043] In this embodiment, a displacement sensor is installed on the moving contact 221 to monitor the movement distance of the moving contact 221 during the opening and closing process. When the voltage between the two electrodes exceeds the breakdown voltage, the electrode breaks down. After the breakdown, C2 begins to discharge, the voltage disappears, and the arc in the electrode gap of the isolating switch is extinguished; after the arc is extinguished in the electrode gap, C1 continues to charge and pressurize the capacitor C2 through the resistor R again, and the moving contact 221 continues to move, increasing the distance between the two electrodes. Whenever the voltage provided by the capacitor C2 to both ends of the electrode exceeds the breakdown voltage at this distance, the electrode is broken down again. This process is repeated, and a series of breakdown voltage data corresponding to the electrode distance can be obtained through a single opening and closing operation, which greatly improves the efficiency of studying the insulation performance of environmentally friendly gases.

[0044] The control assembly 230 includes a driving mechanism 231 for controlling the movement displacement and speed of the opening and closing assembly 220 and a transmission mechanism 232 for transmitting the power generated by the driving mechanism 231 to the opening and closing assembly 220. The transmission mechanism 232 includes an insulating member 2321 connected to the driving assembly and a gear transmission member 2322 connected to the opening and closing assembly 220.

[0045] The test chamber 110 is enclosed by a housing 111, a cover plate 112 and two pot-type insulators 113, and the voltage-stabilizing chamber 120 is enclosed by a transition cylinder 121 and two pot-type insulators 113. The pot-type insulator 113 includes a convex surface 1131, which faces the test chamber 110. The convex surface 1131 faces the test chamber 110, and the structure can withstand greater pressure, thereby increasing the stability of the test device.

[0046] The switch-opening and closing assembly 220 includes a moving contact 221, a stationary contact 222, a moving end support 223 and a stationary end support 224. The moving contact 221 is threadedly connected to the moving end support 223, and the stationary contact 222 is threadedly connected to the stationary end support 224. The moving contact 221 and the stationary contact 222 are respectively connected to the moving contact 221 seat and the stationary contact 222 seat by threaded connection. The threaded connection can efficiently replace the tip electrode, ball head electrode, and plate-plate electrode of the moving end plate and the stationary end. The moving and stationary end electrode structure matching types are as follows: Figure 5As shown, a is a needle-plate electrode type, b is a ball-plate electrode type, and c is a plate-plate electrode type. The contact and the contact seat are connected by threads, and the contact is easy to replace, which can improve the richness and efficiency of the test.

[0047] The test assembly also includes a pressure relief valve 250 for explosion prevention. The pressure relief valve 250 can effectively prevent excessive pressure in the shell 111 during the test. Compared with the traditional disposable bursting disc protection device, the design is optimized, which not only improves the test efficiency, but also has the characteristics of multiple uses, thereby significantly saving the test cost.

[0048] The gas charging and discharging assembly 210 includes a charging valve 211 , an exhaust valve 212 , and a pressure gauge 213 for monitoring the charging pressure of the test chamber 110 .

[0049] The observation component includes a measuring component for measuring spectrum and / or temperature, and the measuring component includes a spectrometer and a spectrum shooting window 311 arranged on the gas chamber, and the spectrum shooting window 311 is tilted and has an angle of 45° with the axis of the gear shaft.

[0050] The observation component also includes an observation component for observing the insulation test, and the observation component includes a camera and a high-speed camera window 321 arranged on the air chamber. Two high-speed camera windows 321 are provided, and each high-speed camera window 321 is tilted and has an angle of 45° with the axis of the gear shaft. Furthermore, the high-speed camera window 321 can be designed in an elliptical shape, so that the observation range is larger, and the test conditions at different opening distances can be clearly seen. The high-speed camera window 321 is arranged vertically, and a high-speed camera is used to observe the dynamic process of the entire insulation test from two angles, which is convenient for studying the insulation breakdown of the two contacts.

[0051] like Figure 4The breakdown voltage control circuit shown includes a power supply component, a breakdown voltage adjustment component and a signal acquisition component, and the signal acquisition component is connected to the displacement sensor. The power supply component includes a high-voltage AC power supply and a rectifier; the breakdown voltage adjustment component includes a resistor and a capacitor; and the signal acquisition component includes an oscilloscope. According to the provisions on peak voltage in GB 1985-2014 "High-voltage AC disconnector and grounding switch", a corresponding margin is set for the high-voltage AC power supply to ensure that its voltage value is higher than the specified standard. The voltage signal is collected by the oscilloscope, and combined with the voltage divider ratio between capacitors C2 and C3, the stroke between the electrodes of the disconnector and the corresponding breakdown voltage value can be obtained. After the dynamic and static electrodes of the disconnector are separated, capacitor C2 is in an open circuit state. At this time, capacitor C1 charges capacitor C2 through charging resistor R, causing the voltage of capacitor C2 to rise rapidly. When the voltage of capacitor C2 exceeds the breakdown voltage of the electrode gap, the electrode gap breaks down. After the breakdown, capacitor C2 begins to discharge, the voltage disappears, and the arc of the disconnector electrode gap is extinguished. After the arc is extinguished, capacitor C1 charges capacitor C2 again through charging resistor R, and the voltage of capacitor C2 rises rapidly again and causes a new breakdown. This process - charging, breakdown, discharge, arc extinguishing, and recharging - is repeated continuously during the opening operation, forming a repeated breakdown phenomenon. As the opening distance continues to increase, the breakdown voltage gradually increases until the electrode gap becomes large enough to no longer be broken down. By measuring the change of the electrode gap breakdown voltage over time, the dynamic breakdown characteristics of the electrode gap during the disconnection process can be obtained. The principle of the change of the electrode gap breakdown voltage over time during the closing process is the same.

[0052] It should be noted that, for the above-mentioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all described as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should know that the present invention is not limited by the described action sequence, because according to the present invention, certain steps can be performed in other sequences or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also know that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by the present invention.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0054] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and the scope of the present disclosure cannot be limited thereto. That is, any equivalent changes and modifications made according to the teachings of the present disclosure are still within the scope of the present disclosure. After considering the specification and practicing the disclosure here, those skilled in the art will easily think of the implementation scheme of the present disclosure.
