[0029] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an optimized design method for a low-frequency on-load tap changer according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0030] Step S201: Establish an electric field simulation model and a vacuum tube lever model for the low-frequency on-load tap changer. The electric field simulation model is used to analyze the electric field distribution inside the contacts and their contact areas of the low-frequency on-load tap changer. The contacts include main contacts, transition contacts, and fixed contacts. The contact area is the surface area where current is transmitted between the contacts and other electrical components. The vacuum tube lever model is used to analyze the mechanical behavior of the vacuum tube lever of the low-frequency on-load tap changer during the switching operation. The vacuum tube lever is a mechanical component that drives the vacuum tube to perform opening and closing actions.
[0031] Specifically, the electric field simulation model aims to explore the electric field distribution in the contact areas between the main contacts, transition contacts, and stationary contacts of the switch and other electrical components. The vacuum tube lever model focuses on studying the mechanical characteristics of the mechanical components that drive the opening and closing of the vacuum tube during switch operation. Through the application of these two models, we can achieve in-depth analysis of low-frequency on-load tap changers. The electric field simulation model helps us understand the intensity and distribution of the electric field between contacts, which is of great importance for optimizing contact design and better preventing arcing based on the optimized design. The vacuum tube lever model allows us to optimize the vacuum tube lever, which is crucial for improving the reliability and lifespan of the switch.
[0032] Step S202: Determine the material of the contacts of the low-frequency on-load tap changer based on the electric field simulation model, and determine the number of contacts in parallel based on the conductivity of the material of the contacts.
[0033] Specifically, based on the results of the electric field simulation model, we select appropriate materials to manufacture the contacts of the low-frequency on-load tap changer, and determine the number of these contacts in parallel configuration based on the conductivity of the selected materials. This process first involves evaluating the electrical properties of the contact materials to ensure that they can adapt to the electric field environment. Then, based on the conductivity of these materials, we calculate the optimal number of contacts in parallel to achieve the required electrical performance.
[0034] Step S203: Optimize the structure of the vacuum tube lever based on the vacuum tube lever model described above.
[0035] Specifically, a vacuum tube lever model is used for structural optimization to improve the design of the vacuum tube lever. This process involves applying a force to the vacuum tube lever model, calculating the stress on the vacuum tube lever based on the applied force, and adjusting the structure of the vacuum tube lever according to the magnitude of the stress so that the vacuum tube lever can withstand the stress, reduce the risk of failure, and improve the safety of switching operations.
[0036] In this embodiment, in the above-mentioned optimization design method for a low-frequency on-load tap changer, an electric field simulation model and a vacuum tube lever model of the low-frequency on-load tap changer are established. The electric field simulation model is used to analyze the electric field distribution inside the contacts and their contact areas of the low-frequency on-load tap changer. The contacts include main contacts, transition contacts, and fixed contacts. The contact area is the surface area where current is transmitted between the contacts and other electrical components. The vacuum tube lever model is used to analyze the mechanical behavior of the vacuum tube lever of the low-frequency on-load tap changer during the switching operation. The vacuum tube lever is a mechanical component that drives the vacuum tube to perform opening and closing actions. The material for manufacturing the contacts of the low-frequency on-load tap changer is determined based on the electric field simulation model, and the number of contacts connected in parallel is determined based on the conductivity of the material. The structure of the vacuum tube lever is optimized based on the vacuum tube lever model. This application establishes an electric field simulation model of a low-frequency on-load tap changer, optimizes the design of the contact material and the number of parallel contacts, and establishes a vacuum tube lever model to optimize the structure of the vacuum tube lever of the low-frequency on-load tap changer. Through the optimized design of the contacts and vacuum tube lever, the arc control capability and mechanical strength of the low-frequency on-load tap changer are improved, solving the problem of low service life of low-frequency on-load tap changers caused by unreasonable design of contacts and vacuum tube levers in the prior art.
[0037] To determine the material for manufacturing a low-frequency on-load tap changer, in one optional embodiment, the electric field strength of the contact area of the contact is determined according to the above-mentioned electric field simulation model. Step S202 includes:
[0038] Step S2021: Determine the electric field strength of the contact area of the contact according to the above electric field simulation model;
[0039] Specifically, the electric field strength of the contact area in a low-frequency on-load tap changer is determined based on data obtained from an electric field simulation model. In this way, we can accurately obtain the electric field strength of the contact area and determine whether the contact area of the contact meets the working requirements. If not, the structure of the contact is adjusted to improve the performance and reliability of the switch.
[0040] Step S2022: Based on the electric field strength of the contact area and the contact spacing of the contacts, calculate the minimum breakdown voltage V of the contact area. b =E c ×d, where E c The electric field strength of the contact area is d, the contact distance of the contact is the minimum physical distance between the contact and the adjacent electrical component, and the minimum breakdown voltage is the lowest voltage threshold at which the contact area of the contact and the adjacent electrical component undergo electrical breakdown.
[0041] Specifically, we calculate the minimum breakdown voltage of the contact area based on the electric field strength of the contact area and the minimum physical distance between the contacts. This calculation reflects the lowest voltage threshold at which electrical breakdown occurs between the contacts and their adjacent electrical components. This calculation enables more accurate risk assessment and helps to optimize the materials of the contacts to improve insulation performance.
[0042] Step S2023: Select a material with an electrical strength greater than the minimum breakdown voltage as the material for manufacturing the contact, where the electrical strength is the maximum voltage that the electrical insulation material can withstand under the action of an electric field.
[0043] Specifically, insulation materials with electrical strength exceeding the calculated minimum breakdown voltage are selected for manufacturing contacts. Materials with high electrical strength can provide better protection. This material selection strategy ensures that the electrical performance of the contact materials meets safety requirements in practical applications, reduces the risk of failure due to material breakdown, and enhances the durability and safety of the equipment.
[0044] To determine the number of contacts connected in parallel, in one optional embodiment, the number of contacts connected in parallel is determined based on the conductivity of the material used to manufacture the contacts. Step S202 further includes:
[0045] Step S2024: Calculate the current density J of the contact based on the electric field strength of the contact area and the material used to manufacture the contact. c =σ·E c Where σ is the electrical conductivity of the material used to manufacture the contact;
[0046] Specifically, based on the electric field strength in the contact area and the conductivity of the material used, the current density of the contact can be calculated. Current density refers to the amount of current passing through a unit area, while conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct electricity. By calculating the current density, we can ensure the efficiency and uniformity of the contact during conduction, avoid overheating and potential damage caused by current concentration, and help to optimize the design of the contact in the future.
[0047] Step S2025: Calculate the carrying current I of the contact based on the current density of the contact. c =J c ×S, where S is the area of the contact region of the aforementioned contact;
[0048] Specifically, the current carrying capacity of the contact is calculated based on the current density of the contact and the area of the contact contact region. Through this calculation, we can determine the current carrying capacity of the contact, and the calculation results can guide the design of the contact to ensure that the contact can meet specific current transmission requirements.
[0049] Step S2026: Determine the number of contacts connected in parallel based on the current carried by the contacts. Among them, I t This refers to the load current that the aforementioned low-frequency on-load tap changer needs to carry.
[0050] Specifically, the required number of contacts connected in parallel is determined based on the current that the contacts can carry and the load current that the switch needs to carry. This configuration ensures that the low-frequency on-load tap changer can safely and effectively transmit the required current load. This method of determining the number of contacts connected in parallel helps to achieve uniform current distribution, reduces the risk of individual contacts overheating or being damaged due to excessive current, and thus improves the stability and lifespan of the entire switching system.
[0051] To optimize the vacuum tube lever, in one optional embodiment, the structure of the vacuum tube lever is optimized according to the above-described vacuum tube lever model. Step S203 includes:
[0052] Step S2031: Apply an external load to the vacuum tube lever model according to the actual working conditions. The external load includes the vacuum tube self-closing force and the spring force. The vacuum tube self-closing force is the closing force provided by the vacuum tube lever during the opening and closing operation. The spring force is the pressure applied to the vacuum tube lever by the spring.
[0053] Specifically, external forces under actual working conditions are applied to the vacuum tube lever model. These forces include the self-closing force of the vacuum tube and the pressure applied by the spring. By applying this external load, we can more accurately simulate and analyze the mechanical effects of the vacuum tube lever in actual operation, thereby optimizing its structural design.
[0054] Step S2032: Calculate the stress of the vacuum tube lever model under the aforementioned external load. Where f y The external load acting on the vacuum tube lever is A, where A is the area of the vacuum tube lever bearing the external load.
[0055] Specifically, the stress level under external load is calculated based on the vacuum tube lever model. The stress is the ratio of the external force to the force-bearing area of the lever. Through this calculation, the structural stress distribution of the vacuum tube lever under actual working conditions can be evaluated. This stress calculation helps to identify potential weaknesses in the lever design so as to optimize the lever geometry and material selection to improve its load-bearing capacity and durability.
[0056] Step S2033: Determine whether the vacuum tube lever has undergone plastic deformation based on the stress described above.
[0057] Specifically, by assessing the stress level of the vacuum tube lever under external load, it can be determined whether it has reached the condition for plastic deformation. Through this stress assessment, it is possible to predict whether the vacuum tube lever will undergo irreversible deformation due to excessive stress during actual operation.
[0058] To determine whether the vacuum tube lever has undergone plastic deformation, in one optional embodiment, the determination is based on the aforementioned stress. Step S2033 includes:
[0059] Step S20331: When the stress of the vacuum tube lever is greater than the yield strength, it is determined that the vacuum tube lever has undergone plastic deformation, and the structure of the vacuum tube lever is adjusted. The yield strength is the minimum stress value at which the vacuum tube lever undergoes plastic deformation.
[0060] Specifically, when the calculated stress on the vacuum tube lever exceeds its yield strength, we consider it to have undergone plastic deformation. Yield strength is the stress threshold at which a material begins to undergo plastic deformation. After confirming that deformation has occurred, we adjust the structure of the vacuum tube lever to avoid this phenomenon.
[0061] Step S20332: If the stress of the vacuum tube lever is less than the yield strength, it is determined that the vacuum tube lever has not undergone plastic deformation.
[0062] Specifically, when the calculated stress on the vacuum tube lever is lower than its yield strength, it can be determined that the lever has not undergone plastic deformation. This means that the lever material remains within its elastic range under the force applied and has not suffered permanent damage.
[0063] In order to optimize the structure of the vacuum tube lever, in one optional embodiment, the structure of the vacuum tube lever is adjusted, and step S20331 includes:
[0064] Step S2033101: Increase the stress area of the vacuum tube lever where the stress is greater than the yield strength;
[0065] Specifically, for the vacuum tube lever area where the stress level exceeds the yield strength, we reduce the magnitude of the stress by increasing the area of the stress-bearing region. This adjustment helps to disperse the stress, ensure that the material works under a lower stress level, prevent plastic deformation, thereby extending the service life of the switch and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
[0066] Step S2033102, and / or, adjust the material of the vacuum tube lever to a material with a yield strength greater than the stress.
[0067] Specifically, a material with a yield strength higher than the existing stress level is selected to manufacture the vacuum tube lever. This material replacement ensures that the lever will not reach the critical point of plastic deformation under any working condition, improves the overall load-bearing capacity of the lever, reduces the risk of structural damage caused by material yielding, and thus improves the durability of the switch.

The first determining unit is used to determine the manufacturing material of the contacts of the low-frequency on-load tap changer based on the electric field simulation model, and to determine the number of contacts connected in parallel based on the conductivity of the manufacturing material. The first optimization unit is used to optimize the structure of the vacuum tube lever based on the vacuum tube lever model. This application establishes an electric field simulation model of a low-frequency on-load tap changer, optimizes the design of the contact material and the number of parallel contacts, and establishes a vacuum tube lever model to optimize the structure of the vacuum tube lever of the low-frequency on-load tap changer. Through the optimized design of the contacts and vacuum tube lever, the arc control capability and mechanical strength of the low-frequency on-load tap changer are improved, solving the problem of low service life of low-frequency on-load tap changers caused by unreasonable design of contacts and vacuum tube levers in the prior art.
[0079] To determine the material for manufacturing a low-frequency on-load tap changer, in one optional embodiment, the electric field strength of the contact area of the contact is determined based on the aforementioned electric field simulation model. The first determining unit includes:
[0080] The first determining subunit is used to determine the electric field strength of the contact area of the contact according to the electric field simulation model.
[0081] Specifically, the electric field strength of the contact area in a low-frequency on-load tap changer is determined based on data obtained from an electric field simulation model. In this way, we can accurately obtain the electric field strength of the contact area and determine whether the contact area of the contact meets the working requirements. If not, the structure of the contact is adjusted to improve the performance and reliability of the switch.
[0082] The second determining subunit is used to calculate the minimum breakdown voltage V of the contact area based on the electric field strength of the contact area and the contact spacing of the contacts. b =E c ×d, where E cThe electric field strength of the contact area is d, the contact distance of the contact is the minimum physical distance between the contact and the adjacent electrical component, and the minimum breakdown voltage is the lowest voltage threshold at which the contact area of the contact and the adjacent electrical component undergo electrical breakdown.
[0083] Specifically, we calculate the minimum breakdown voltage of the contact area based on the electric field strength of the contact area and the minimum physical distance between the contacts. This calculation reflects the lowest voltage threshold at which electrical breakdown occurs between the contacts and their adjacent electrical components. This calculation enables more accurate risk assessment and helps to optimize the materials of the contacts to improve insulation performance.
[0084] The third determining subunit is used to select a material with an electrical strength greater than the minimum breakdown voltage as the material for manufacturing the contact, wherein the electrical strength is the maximum voltage value that the electrical insulation material can withstand under the action of an electric field.
[0085] Specifically, insulation materials with electrical strength exceeding the calculated minimum breakdown voltage are selected for manufacturing contacts. Materials with high electrical strength can provide better protection. This material selection strategy ensures that the electrical performance of the contact materials meets safety requirements in practical applications, reduces the risk of failure due to material breakdown, and enhances the durability and safety of the equipment.
[0086] To determine the number of contacts connected in parallel, in one optional embodiment, the number of contacts connected in parallel is determined based on the conductivity of the material used to manufacture the contacts. The first determining unit further includes:
[0087] The fourth determining subunit is used to calculate the current density J of the contact based on the electric field strength of the contact area and the material used to manufacture the contact. c =σ·E c Where σ is the electrical conductivity of the material used to manufacture the contact;
[0088] Specifically, based on the electric field strength in the contact area and the conductivity of the material used, the current density of the contact can be calculated. Current density refers to the amount of current passing through a unit area, while conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct electricity. By calculating the current density, we can ensure the efficiency and uniformity of the contact during conduction, avoid overheating and potential damage caused by current concentration, and help to optimize the design of the contact in the future.
[0089] The fifth determining subunit is used to calculate the carrying current I of the contact based on the current density of the contact. c =J c ×S, where S is the area of the contact region of the aforementioned contact;
[0090] Specifically, the current carrying capacity of the contact is calculated based on the current density of the contact and the area of the contact contact region. Through this calculation, we can determine the current carrying capacity of the contact, and the calculation results can guide the design of the contact to ensure that the contact can meet specific current transmission requirements.
[0091] The sixth determining subunit is used to determine the number of contacts connected in parallel based on the current carried by the contacts. Among them, I t This refers to the load current that the aforementioned low-frequency on-load tap changer needs to carry.
[0092] Specifically, the required number of contacts connected in parallel is determined based on the current that the contacts can carry and the load current that the switch needs to carry. This configuration ensures that the low-frequency on-load tap changer can safely and effectively transmit the required current load. This method of determining the number of contacts connected in parallel helps to achieve uniform current distribution, reduces the risk of individual contacts overheating or being damaged due to excessive current, and thus improves the stability and lifespan of the entire switching system.
[0093] To optimize the vacuum tube lever, in one optional embodiment, the structure of the vacuum tube lever is optimized according to the aforementioned vacuum tube lever model. The first optimization unit includes:
[0094] The first optimization subunit is used to apply an external load to the vacuum tube lever model according to the actual working conditions. The external load includes the vacuum tube self-closing force and the spring force. The vacuum tube self-closing force is the closing force provided by the vacuum tube lever during the switching operation, and the spring force is the pressure applied to the vacuum tube lever by the spring.
[0095] Specifically, external forces under actual working conditions are applied to the vacuum tube lever model. These forces include the self-closing force of the vacuum tube and the pressure applied by the spring. By applying this external load, we can more accurately simulate and analyze the mechanical effects of the vacuum tube lever in actual operation, thereby optimizing its structural design.
[0096] The second optimization sub-unit is used to calculate the stress of the aforementioned vacuum tube lever model under the aforementioned external load. Where f y The external load acting on the vacuum tube lever is A, where A is the area of the vacuum tube lever bearing the external load.
[0097] Specifically, the stress level under external load is calculated based on the vacuum tube lever model. The stress is the ratio of the external force to the force-bearing area of the lever. Through this calculation, the structural stress distribution of the vacuum tube lever under actual working conditions can be evaluated. This stress calculation helps to identify potential weaknesses in the lever design so as to optimize the lever geometry and material selection to improve its load-bearing capacity and durability.
[0098] The third optimization subunit is used to determine whether the vacuum tube lever has undergone plastic deformation based on the stress mentioned above.
[0099] Specifically, by assessing the stress level of the vacuum tube lever under external load, it can be determined whether it has reached the condition for plastic deformation. Through this stress assessment, it is possible to predict whether the vacuum tube lever will undergo irreversible deformation due to excessive stress during actual operation.
[0100] To determine whether the vacuum tube lever has undergone plastic deformation, in one optional embodiment, the determination is based on the aforementioned stress. The third optimization subunit includes:
[0101] The first optimization module is used to determine that the vacuum tube lever has undergone plastic deformation when the stress of the vacuum tube lever is greater than the yield strength, and to adjust the structure of the vacuum tube lever. The yield strength is the minimum stress value at which the vacuum tube lever undergoes plastic deformation.
[0102] When the calculated stress on the vacuum tube lever exceeds its yield strength, we consider it to have undergone plastic deformation. Yield strength is the stress threshold at which a material begins to undergo plastic deformation. After confirming that deformation has occurred, we adjust the structure of the vacuum tube lever to avoid this phenomenon.
[0103] The second optimization module is used to determine that the vacuum tube lever has not undergone plastic deformation when the stress of the vacuum tube lever is less than the yield strength.
[0104] Specifically, when the calculated stress on the vacuum tube lever is lower than its yield strength, it can be determined that the lever has not undergone plastic deformation. This means that the lever material remains within its elastic range under the force applied and has not suffered permanent damage.
[0105] To optimize the structure of the vacuum tube lever, in one optional embodiment, the structure of the vacuum tube lever is adjusted, and the first optimization module includes:
[0106] The first optimization submodule is used to increase the stress area of the vacuum tube lever where the stress is greater than the yield strength.
[0107] Specifically, for the vacuum tube lever area where the stress level exceeds the yield strength, we reduce the magnitude of the stress by increasing the area of the stress-bearing region. This adjustment helps to disperse the stress, ensure that the material works under a lower stress level, prevent plastic deformation, thereby extending the service life of the switch and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
[0108] The second optimization submodule is used to adjust the material of the vacuum tube lever to a material with a yield strength greater than the stress.
[0109] Specifically, a material with a yield strength higher than the existing stress level is selected to manufacture the vacuum tube lever. This material replacement ensures that the lever will not reach the critical point of plastic deformation under any working condition, improves the overall load-bearing capacity of the lever, reduces the risk of structural damage caused by material yielding, and thus improves the durability of the switch.
