[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] Those skilled in the art can understand that although some of the embodiments herein include some features included in other embodiments rather than other features, the combination of the features of different embodiments means that it is within the scope of the present invention and forms different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any one of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
[0021] The following refers to the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 4 Describe the Class C fast earthing switch with an environment-friendly gas medium of the present invention.
[0022] The current structures of fast earthing switches are generally the same, all of which are the engagement mode between the moving arc contact 6 and the plum blossom contact finger. This engagement mode has insufficient contact tightness and weak ablation resistance, and cannot meet the requirements of Class C.
[0023] Therefore, the present invention provides a Class C fast earthing switch with an environment-friendly gas medium, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, it includes a housing 1. An air chamber 2 is provided inside the housing 1. A transmission rod 3 is provided inside the air chamber 2. A first sealing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod 3. The transmission rod 3 is slidably connected to the air chamber 2 through the first sealing ring 4, so that an arc extinguishing cavity 5 is formed between the first sealing ring 4 and the air chamber 2. The end of the transmission rod 3 is connected to a moving arc contact 6. The moving arc contact 6 is a tubular contact. An arc extinguishing pipeline 301 is opened inside the transmission rod 3. One end of the arc extinguishing pipeline 301 is communicated with the moving arc contact 6, and the end of the arc extinguishing pipeline 301 far from the moving arc contact 6 is communicated with the arc extinguishing cavity 5. A one-way air valve 7 is opened on the air chamber 2. The one-way air valve 7 is communicated with the arc extinguishing cavity 5. The moving arc contact 6 reciprocates to form a pressure difference between the arc extinguishing cavity 5 and the gas inside the housing 1 to realize the opening and closing of the valve of the one-way air valve 7. When closing the switch, the arc extinguishing cavity 5 inhales air, and the one-way air valve 7 opens. The moving arc contact 6 contacts the static arc contact seat 8, and the circuit is closed; when opening the switch, the one-way air valve 7 closes, and the gas inside the arc extinguishing cavity 5 jets air to the moving arc contact 6 through the arc extinguishing pipeline 301 to realize arc extinguishing of the moving arc contact 6, and the circuit is disconnected. Specifically, when closing the switch, the one-way air valve 7 opens, and the arc extinguishing cavity 5 inhales air through the one-way air valve 7, as Figure 1 shown, the circuit is closed; when opening the switch, the gas inside the arc extinguishing cavity 5 is jetted to the moving arc contact 6 through the arc extinguishing pipeline 301 to eliminate the reaction force inside the air chamber 2, as Figure 4 shown, so that the closing is faster, so that the arcing time is within half a cycle, with stable and reliable performance, and further ensures the safety and reliability of circuit disconnection, thus solving the problems that the contact between the moving arc contact 6 and the plum blossom finger in the traditional fast earthing switch is not tight enough and the anti-erosion ability is weak, and meets the performance requirements of Class C fast earthing switch.
[0024] Preferably, the transmission rod 3 is made of 6063-T6 round aluminum rod, and the air chamber 2 is made of aluminum tube, so as to ensure stable conductivity and smooth transmission of current. At the same time, aluminum has lower mass than other conductive materials, which is convenient for realizing the light weight of the device.
[0025] Preferably, the housing 1 is in the form of integral casting to ensure miniaturization inside. The overall outer surface of the housing 1 is in the form of an arc surface, with strong pressure-bearing capacity.
[0026] Preferably, a first insulating plate 9 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The housing 1 is fixedly connected to the air chamber 2 through the first insulating plate 9. The first insulating plate 9 provides stable support for the air chamber 2 while improving the safety and insulation of the equipment, preventing leakage or discharge phenomena, and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
[0027] Preferably, a grounding insulator 10 is connected to the housing 1. The grounding insulator 10 is connected to the air chamber 2, ensuring the safety of current during conduction, avoiding failures caused by leakage or discharge, and at the same time grounding the residual current in the cavity part after opening the switch, so as to ensure the stability of the equipment.
[0028] Preferably, the grounding insulator 10 is connected to the air cavity 2 through a copper busbar 11, which improves the conductive efficiency while maintaining the insulation performance. At the same time, the copper busbar 11 solves the problem that the toggle arm of the grounding switch in the form of flexible connection is affected by the flexible connection force during the mechanism energy storage, resulting in premature sliding. Compared with the flexible connection form, the use of the copper busbar 11 makes the mechanical characteristic curve more stable.
[0029] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, the air cavity 2 is provided with a strap finger 201, and the strap finger 201 is slidably connected to the transmission rod 3 to ground the current on the transmission rod 3 through the strap finger 201, thereby providing a current discharge path on the air cavity 2, ensuring the safety of the equipment and personnel, ensuring that the current can flow safely to the ground, avoiding equipment damage caused by excessive current or short circuit, and at the same time, the use of the air cavity 2 for conduction also realizes efficient heat dissipation. Optionally, the number of strap fingers 201 can be arranged according to actual needs. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, two strap fingers 201 are provided.
[0030] Preferably, the air cavity 2 is provided with a guide ring 202, and the guide ring 202 is slidably connected to the transmission rod 3, so as to cooperate with the first sealing ring 4 to guide the transmission rod 3, ensuring the linearity and stability of the movement of the transmission rod 3, and preventing faults or damages caused by the deviation of the transmission rod 3.
[0031] Preferably, a shielding ring 203 is provided at one end of the air cavity 2 close to the static arc contact seat 8 to uniform the electric field, minimize the stroke, reduce the possibility of partial discharge or flashover, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing the maintenance cost.
[0032] Preferably, as Figure 1 shown, a threaded second insulating plate 12 is threadedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 3 away from the moving arc contact 6. One end of the second insulating plate 12 away from the transmission rod 3 is fixedly connected to a transmission plate 13. One end of the transmission plate 13 away from the second insulating plate 12 is fixedly connected to the toggle arm through a needle roller bearing 14. Specifically, the toggle arm and the transmission rod 3 are connected through a needle roller bearing 14, which improves the service life of the structure. At the same time, the use of the needle roller bearing 14 also reduces the cavity size of the housing 1, making it more economical and greatly saving costs; the transmission plate 13 is formed by welding a vacuum pressure impregnated epoxy glass cloth board and an aluminum alloy transmission part with bolts. At the same time, in cooperation with the second insulating plate 12, insulation from the transmission plate 13 to the toggle arm part is achieved, and the vacuum pressure impregnated epoxy glass cloth board has high strength, low density, good insulation performance, and strong arc resistance, reducing the structural quality.
[0033] Preferably, the static arc contact base 8 includes a base 801, which is bolted to the conductor 15. A shielding cover 802 is fixedly connected to the base 801.

The outer side of the static arc contact 804 is in contact with the shielding cover 802. The inner side of the static arc contact 804 is used to connect and conduct electricity with the moving arc contact 6. A finger 805 is arranged inside the collar 803 and is connected to the collar 803 through a spring 806. After the static arc contact 804 is connected to the moving arc contact 6, the finger 805 presses against the outer wall of the moving arc contact 6 to fasten the moving arc contact 6, thereby realizing the close contact and fastening of the moving arc contact 6, improving the conductivity and anti-erosion ability between the moving arc contact 6 and the static arc contact 804, enhancing the arc extinguishing ability and service life of the equipment, thus meeting the requirements of Class C fast earthing switches. At the same time, the static arc contact 804 is closely attached to the shielding cover 802, which not only optimizes the electric field but also saves costs.
[0034] Preferably, the static arc contact 804 is made of copper-tungsten material, and the contact position between the finger 805 and the moving arc contact 6 is made of copper-tungsten material, thereby further improving the short-circuit closing ability, the ability to cut off electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction, and ensuring the stability and reliability under high-current conditions.
