Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of linear vacuum circuit breakers and relates to an intelligent speed regulating mechanism of a vacuum circuit breaker based on a four-coil structure. Background Art
[0002] Existing technology 1: Mechanical buffering is a commonly used protective device. For example, an innovative technology is proposed to set a buffer pad between the static iron core and the shell of the vacuum circuit breaker operating mechanism to play a buffering role, solving the problem that the closing speed at the closing end is too fast, which will cause impact on the moving iron core, static contacts and transmission components, seriously affecting the service life of the vacuum circuit breaker.
[0003] Disadvantages: This technology uses mechanical buffering, which is greatly affected by the aging of the buffer material and the number of times it is used.
[0004] Existing technology 2: The bistable permanent magnetic operating mechanism is a commonly used mechanical device with few parts and high reliability. For example, an innovative technology is proposed, in which an auxiliary coil for opening and closing is added to the traditional bistable permanent magnetic operating mechanism of a vacuum circuit breaker. When power is turned on, magnetic lines of force in the same direction as the main coil for opening and closing are generated. When the permanent magnetic mechanism performs opening and closing operations, current is simultaneously passed through the corresponding main and auxiliary coils for opening and closing. When the total number of turns is the same, the form of the main and auxiliary coils is relative to one coil, the inductance in the circuit is smaller, and the current rises faster, so that the circuit breaker contacts obtain a faster closing speed, and the closing time is correspondingly reduced. Compared with other operating mechanisms, a greater opening speed can be obtained.
[0005] Disadvantages: This technology uses an auxiliary coil for opening and closing. The auxiliary coil and the main coil generate magnetic lines of force in the same direction when energized. While achieving a greater opening and closing speed, it also increases the impact force of the moving iron core on the contacts, operating mechanisms and components, resulting in a short mechanical life. Summary of the invention
[0006] During the opening and closing process of the vacuum circuit breaker, the moving iron core of the operating mechanism moves downward or upward due to the magnetic force. Each time the opening and closing operation is performed, the movement of the moving iron core will generate a huge impact force on the operating mechanism, contacts and other components. If the operation is frequent, the life of the vacuum circuit breaker will be reduced, and the failure rate and maintenance cost of the equipment will be increased. The present invention proposes an opening and closing reaction coil, which uses the principle that the opening and closing reaction coil and the opening and closing coil have different magnetic field directions, vector superposition and partial cancellation, so that the moving iron core performs a certain buffering effect when moving in the opening and closing direction, thereby effectively extending the service life of the vacuum circuit breaker.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions:
[0008] An intelligent speed regulation mechanism for a vacuum circuit breaker based on a four-coil structure comprises a displacement sensor and a four-coil structure in an operating mechanism for completing intelligent speed regulation, wherein the four-coil structure comprises an opening and closing coil for driving a moving iron core to move in an opening and closing direction and an opening and closing reaction coil for buffering the moving speed of the moving iron core; the opening and closing coil comprises a closing coil and an opening coil; the opening and closing reaction coil comprises a closing reaction coil and an opening reaction coil;
[0009] The moving iron core is sleeved outside the transmission shaft, and the static magnet, the insulating cover, the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber and the insulator are arranged on the operating mechanism in sequence; the whole is arranged on the base.
[0010] The closing coil and closing reaction coil are placed on the upper surface of the permanent magnet in sequence and are mounted outside the moving iron core; the opening coil and opening reaction coil are placed on the lower surface of the permanent magnet in sequence from bottom to top; the closing coil, opening coil, closing reaction coil and opening reaction coil are connected to charging capacitors and powered independently. The displacement sensor is fixed on the outer end of the transmission shaft to realize intelligent speed regulation.
[0011] The current direction of the opening and closing reaction coil in the operating mechanism should be opposite to the current direction of the opening and closing coil.
[0012] The total magnetic force obtained by the moving iron core is calculated by vector superposition and reverse magnetic field cancellation.
[0013] The number of turns of the opening and closing reaction coil should be less than the number of turns of the opening and closing coil.
[0014] The displacement sensor should send out a signal when the moving iron core is about to reach the bottom or top of the opening and closing coil.
[0015] The displacement sensor, control module, and charging capacitor constitute the main circuit of the intelligent speed regulating mechanism.
[0016] A speed regulation method of an intelligent speed regulation mechanism of a vacuum circuit breaker based on a four-coil structure, the steps are as follows:
[0017] Step 1: Fix the displacement sensor on the outer end of the transmission shaft, above the operating mechanism to more conveniently detect the moving position of the moving iron core.
[0018] Step 2: The control module sends a control signal to the charging capacitor, and the charging capacitor energizes the opening coil or the closing coil through the control signal. After the opening coil or the closing coil is energized, the electric field is converted into a magnetic field to drive the moving iron core to move.
[0019] Step 3: After the displacement sensor detects the moving position of the moving iron core, it sends a signal to the control module.
[0020] Step 4: After receiving the signal, the control module sends the control signal again to energize the opening and closing reaction coil through the charging capacitor.
[0021] Step 5: After the opening and closing reaction coil is energized, a magnetic field in the opposite direction to the opening and closing coil is formed, thereby buffering the movement of the moving iron core.
[0022] The movement of the moving iron core is measured by a displacement sensor. When the moving iron core is about to reach the bottom or top of the opening and closing switch, a signal is sent to the control module to energize the opening and closing switch reaction coil through the capacitor. The opening and closing switch reaction coil passes a current in the opposite direction of the opening and closing coil through the capacitor. The direction of the magnetic field generated by the opening and closing switch reaction coil is opposite to the direction of the magnetic field generated by the opening and closing coil. Through the principle of vector superposition, part of the magnetic field is offset. Due to the reduction of acceleration, the moving iron core achieves the purpose of buffering. Due to the reduction of the impact force of the moving iron core, the components are protected and the service life of the vacuum circuit breaker is extended.
[0023] System operation process and functions:
[0024] The IGBT module generates a control signal through the drive module by sending a pulse from the control module. The capacitor needs to be connected to the charging module to store energy. The circuit breaker is used to control the opening and closing of the capacitor charging by the control module. The IGBT module is connected to the capacitor and is responsible for discharging the coil through the control signal. The displacement sensor is used to detect the distance from the moving iron core to the opening and closing coil. When the capacitor discharges the closing coil, the direction of the magnetic field generated by the closing coil will make the moving iron core overcome the holding force during the opening and move in the closing direction. When the moving iron core is close to the top of the closing coil, the displacement sensor transmits the signal to the control module, and the control module sends a signal to energize the closing reaction coil with the capacitor. Because the current direction is opposite to that of the closing coil, a reverse magnetic field is generated, which buffers the moving speed of the moving iron core and reduces the impact force of the moving iron core on the contacts and the operating mechanism when the moving iron core is closed. When the moving iron core moves to the closing position, the transmission shaft sends an upward force to close the moving contact and the static contact in the vacuum interrupter, and the vacuum circuit breaker is in a closed state, and the opening state is the opposite.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] Buffering the impact force of the moving iron core: Through the displacement sensor and the reaction coil, the moving speed of the moving iron core can be effectively buffered, reducing the impact force of the moving iron core on the contacts and operating mechanism when opening and closing the switch.
[0027] Protect vacuum circuit breaker components: Reduce the risk of damage to other components such as vacuum circuit breaker contacts caused by the impact force of the moving iron core.
[0028] Prolong the service life of vacuum circuit breakers: Due to the effective buffering of the impact force of the moving iron core and the protection of components, the wear and damage of the equipment caused by frequent impacts are reduced, thereby extending the service life of the vacuum circuit breaker, reducing the maintenance cost and replacement frequency of the equipment, and improving the reliability and stability of the equipment operation, which is conducive to the stable operation of the power system.

[0042] Embodiment 2:
[0043] A speed regulation method of an intelligent speed regulation mechanism of a vacuum circuit breaker based on a four-coil structure, the steps are as follows:
[0044] Step 1: Fix the displacement sensor 15 at the outer end of the transmission shaft 1, above the operating mechanism 16, so as to more conveniently detect the moving position of the moving iron core 9.
[0045] Step 2: The control module sends a control signal to the charging capacitor, and the charging capacitor energizes the opening coil 7 or the closing coil 3 through the control signal.
