Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ring main units, and specifically to a ring main unit with a moisture-proof mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A ring main unit, also known as a ring network power supply unit, is an electrical device that installs high-voltage switchgear in a metal or non-metal insulated cabinet or forms a assembled sectionalized ring network power supply unit. Its core part adopts a load switch and a fuse, and has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, low price, improved power supply parameters and performance, and power supply safety. Ring main units are widely used in urban residential areas, high-rise buildings, large public buildings, factories and enterprises, etc. as distribution equipment for medium-voltage power grids.

[0003] Existing ring main units have the following defects: First, they are easily affected by humid environments and have poor moisture-proof ability. As a key device for power distribution and control, the internal electrical components and insulating materials of the ring main unit are extremely sensitive to the humidity of the environment. In a humid environment, the insulation performance of the ring main unit may drop significantly, which will not only increase the risk of equipment failure, but also may cause safety hazards such as short circuits and electric leakage. In addition, a continuous humid environment may also cause corrosion of metal components and shorten the service life of the equipment; Second, with the continuous growth of power demand, the load carried by the ring main unit is also increasing continuously, which puts higher requirements on the heat dissipation ability of the equipment. Existing ring main units often have problems such as unsmooth heat dissipation channels and insufficient heat dissipation area in design, resulting in overheating of the equipment during long-term high-load operation. Overheating will not only accelerate equipment aging, but also may cause serious consequences such as failure of insulating materials and damage to electrical components; Third, there is a lack of comprehensive monitoring and real-time control functions for temperature and humidity, making it difficult for the ring main unit to cope with temperature and humidity changes. Once the environmental conditions exceed the safe range designed for the equipment, it is impossible to quickly take measures to adjust, resulting in a decline in equipment performance and even possible failures. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a ring main unit with a moisture-proof mechanism to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A ring main unit with a moisture-proof mechanism, including a base, on which a drying component is provided. The drying component is composed of a back plate, a bracket, a stepping motor, a turntable, a first fan, a ventilation pipe, activated microporous silica gel, a second fan, a sleeve, a fixing frame and a heating wire.

The inner heat conduction seat is fixedly connected to a lower surface of the heat conduction cover plate, the first heat pipe is fixedly connected to the inner heat conduction seat, and the heat collecting fin is fixedly connected to the first heat pipe.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the outer heat conduction seat is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the heat conduction cover plate, the second heat pipe is fixedly connected to the outer heat conduction seat, the heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the second heat pipe, and the third fan is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the outer heat conduction seat.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a side plate is fixedly connected to the base, and the side plate is fixedly connected to a lower surface of the heat conduction cover plate. A heat dissipation port is provided on the side plate, and a second sensor is fixedly connected to an outer wall of one side of the side plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention is designed with a rotary drying and dehumidifying structure. When the moist air passes through the activated microporous silica gel, due to its strong adsorption capacity, the activated microporous silica gel will quickly capture and adsorb the water molecules in the air. The air after adsorption treatment becomes dry and enters the inside of the ring main unit, providing an ideal operating environment for the equipment. At the same time, in order to maintain the continuous and efficient operation of the dehumidifying structure, the drying components will rotate into the regeneration area, and the activated microporous silica gel is heated through the heating structure, so that the water molecules adsorbed on the silica gel are evaporated by heat, thereby realizing the regeneration of the silica gel. This cyclic process ensures that the silica gel always maintains a strong dehumidifying ability, providing a lasting and stable dry environment for the ring main unit; and it is designed with an efficient heat dissipation structure, which concentrates the heat through the internal heat collecting fins, completes the heat exchange through the internal and external heat pipes, and finally dissipates the heat efficiently through the fins, ensuring the normal temperature of the ring main unit; Based on the above structure, the temperature and humidity levels inside the ring main unit are monitored in real time through sensors. Once the environmental conditions exceed the preset safety range of the equipment, the system will automatically trigger the corresponding regulation mechanism, such as starting the dehumidifying rotation or enhancing the heat dissipation effect, to ensure that the ring main unit can maintain a normal operating state in various complex environments.

[0020] Working principle: The main body of the ring main unit of the present invention is composed of a base 1, side plates 2, a panel 3, and a heat-conducting cover plate 4. The display screen 8 on the panel 3 is used to display the temperature and humidity data inside the ring main unit, and the temperature and humidity safety thresholds can be preset. During operation, the temperature and humidity conditions inside the ring main unit are monitored in real time through the first sensor 13 and the second sensor 14. When the temperature or humidity exceeds the preset safety threshold, the corresponding regulation mechanism will be automatically triggered to start the drying component 5 or the heat dissipation component 6 for drying and dehumidifying and enhancing heat dissipation. Specifically, the first fan 56 and the second fan 59 on the back plate 51 blow air into the ring main unit. During this process, the air passes through the ventilation pipe 57. When the humid air passes through the activated microporous silica gel 58, due to its strong adsorption capacity, the activated microporous silica gel 58 will quickly capture and adsorb the water molecules in the air. The air after adsorption treatment becomes dry and enters the inside of the ring main unit, realizing the dehumidification inside the ring main unit. When the dehumidification components on the upper and lower sides operate for a certain period of time, the stepping motor 53 of the bracket 52 drives the turntable 55 to rotate 90 degrees through the output shaft 54, and the dehumidification components on the upper and lower sides enter the regeneration area on one side of the sleeve 510. The heating wire 512 on the fixed frame 511 in the sleeve 510 heats the air, and the hot air flows through the ventilation holes 513 to heat the activated microporous silica gel 58, so that the water molecules adsorbed on the silica gel are evaporated by heat, thereby realizing the regeneration of the silica gel. This cyclic process ensures that the silica gel always maintains a strong dehumidification ability, providing a persistent and stable dry environment for the ring main unit. The heat collecting sheet 63 inside collects the heat inside the ring main unit and conducts it to the inner heat-conducting seat 61 through the first heat pipe 62. The inner heat-conducting seat 61 conducts the heat to the outer heat-conducting seat 64 through the heat-conducting cover plate 4. The outer heat-conducting seat 64 conducts the heat to the heat dissipation fins 66 through the second heat pipe 65, and the third fan 67 takes away the heat on the heat dissipation fins 66, realizing the heat exchange inside and outside the ring main unit. Among them, the heat dissipation port 7 is used for air flow and conventional heat dissipation. The voltmeter 9 is used to display the voltage value on the bus bar or a specific circuit in the ring main unit. The ammeter 10 is used to measure and display the magnitude of the current flowing through a specific circuit in the ring main unit. The observation window 11 is used to directly observe the states of key components such as switches, indicator lights, and bus bars inside the cabinet without opening the ring main unit door. The circuit breaker 12 is used to quickly cut off the current when a fault occurs in the circuit to protect the circuit and equipment from damage.
