Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ceramic material connection, in particular to a flash connection method of ceramic insulator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The connection of ceramic insulator has always been a difficult problem in the connection of extra-high voltage power porcelain. Inspired by the flash sintering technology, Xia et al. first proposed a new type of electric field induced flash connection (FJ) technology. By applying a direct current field exceeding the threshold value to ion-conducting ceramic materials, the "flash" phenomenon is generated, which can connect ceramic materials in a very short time (seconds). By using the flash connection technology, ceramic insulators can be quickly connected, which can effectively reduce the loss of ceramic insulators and greatly improve the efficiency of the connection work of ceramic insulators.

[0003] However, the existing connection of ceramic insulator is through separate splicing, which takes a long time, and the existing flash connection technology is mainly applied in the electric field assisted connection of small ceramic materials, and there is little research on large ceramic field. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a flash connection method of ceramic insulator, which applies the flash connection technology to the "seamless" connection of ceramic insulator, and has the characteristics of simple connection process, low connection temperature, short connection time and low energy consumption.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is:

[0006] A flash connection method of ceramic insulator, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: abutting the joint surfaces of the ceramic insulator (1) and the ceramic insulator (3) coated with the conductive colloid (2); wherein the thickness of the conductive colloid joint surface is 0.3-1cm, and the width of the outer periphery of the joint surface is 1-3cm;

[0008] Step 2: abutting the joint parts of the ceramic insulator (1) and the ceramic insulator (3) with the conductive ring respectively; wherein the conductive ring should abut the joint parts of the ceramic insulator (1) and the ceramic insulator (3), and be 3-10cm away from the joint surface;

[0009] Step 3: applying an ultra-high voltage or an ultra-high current to the conductive ring to force the conductive colloid (2) to conduct electricity and flash connect the ceramic insulator (1) and the ceramic insulator (3), wherein the applied ultra-high voltage is 5-80kv, and the ultra-high current is 40-1000A;

[0010] Step 4: cut off the power, and after the ceramic insulator cools to room temperature, remove the conducting ring.

[0011] The conducting glue in step 1 is composed of resin matrix, conductive particles, inorganic fillers, dispersing additives, and auxiliary agents.

[0012] The resin matrix includes epoxy resin, acrylate resin, and polyurethane.

[0013] The conductive particles include gold, silver, copper, aluminum, zinc, iron, nickel powder, and graphite and some conductive compounds.

[0014] The inorganic fillers include silicate, kaolin, water glass, and silica sol.

[0015] The conducting ring in step 2 should be used in pairs.

[0016] The super high voltage or super high current applied in step 3 is provided by a super capacitor.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0018] The present application uses flash connection technology to connect two ceramic insulators. By placing the conducting ring close to the joint of the two insulators, the super high voltage or super high current of the super capacitor is used to heat the conducting glue on the joint surface of the insulator, causing mass transfer on both sides of the insulator, thereby achieving instantaneous flash connection, significantly reducing the connection temperature and shortening the connection time. The method of the present application can connect two ceramic insulators in seconds, and the use of a super capacitor can reduce energy consumption. The present application can be widely used in the field of super large size power ceramics. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a flashover connection method for ceramic insulators includes the following steps:

[0028] Step 1: As Figure 3 As shown, the joint surfaces of ceramic insulator 1 and ceramic insulator 3 coated with conductive colloid 2 are joined together; the thickness of the conductive colloid joint surface is 0.3-1cm, and the width of the outer sides of the joint surface is 1-3cm.

[0029] Step 2: Place the conductive rings tightly against the joint of ceramic insulator 1 and ceramic insulator 3 respectively; the conductive rings should be close to the joint of ceramic insulator 1 and ceramic insulator 3, 3-10cm away from the joint surface; conductive rings should be used in pairs;

[0030] Step 3: Apply ultra-high voltage or ultra-high current to the conductive ring to force the conductive colloid 2 to conduct electricity and flash connect the ceramic insulator 1 and the ceramic insulator 3; the applied ultra-high voltage is 5-80kV and the ultra-high current is 40-1000A; the applied ultra-high voltage or ultra-high current is provided by the supercapacitor.

[0031] Step 4: Disconnect the power supply and wait for the ceramic insulator to cool to room temperature before removing the conductive ring.

[0032] This invention achieves instantaneous flash connection by placing a conductive ring close to the joint of two insulators and using the ultra-high voltage or ultra-high current of a supercapacitor to force the conductive colloid on the joint surface of the insulators to heat up, causing mass transfer between the insulators on both sides. This significantly reduces the connection temperature and shortens the connection time. Example

[0036] Step 4: Disconnect the power supply and wait for the ceramic insulator to cool to room temperature before disassembling the device.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown in the COMSOL volume potential diagram, the voltage at the insulator joint is the highest, which is beneficial to ensure that the current heating effect only acts at the interface, proving that it is possible to use flash connection to connect ceramic insulators.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown in the COMSOL volume temperature cross-section diagram, the connection temperature of the ceramic insulator joint surface can reach as high as 1600K after voltage is applied. This indicates that the thermal effect of current can provide the heat required for ceramic interface bonding, providing a method for instantaneous connection of ceramic insulators.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown in the cross-sectional potential and temperature diagram of COMSOL, the potential and temperature distribution at the joint surface of the ceramic insulator are basically consistent, proving that potential regulation of heat distribution is feasible, and further proving that the flash connection method for ceramic insulators provided by this invention is feasible.
