Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lightning arrester manufacturing, in particular to a method for preparing an explosion-proof lightning arrester. Background Art

[0002] In the power system, lightning arresters, as core equipment for limiting switching overvoltage and lightning overvoltage, are responsible for protecting electrical equipment from lightning overvoltage, switching overvoltage and power frequency transient overvoltage. However, some current arresters rely solely on silicone rubber seals, which inherently limit their explosion-proof performance. Once subjected to continuous lightning strikes or severe power-frequency continuous current surges, the internal resistor valve disc can easily enter a state of thermal runaway, causing the gas to expand instantly and build up extremely high pressure within the sealed housing.

[0003] Some existing arresters have limited casing strength and lack effective pressure relief devices. Once internal pressure exceeds a critical threshold, a catastrophic explosion can occur, causing the casing to shatter and posing a significant safety risk. Furthermore, some arresters equipped with pressure relief devices merely provide a pressure relief structure without buffering the pressure to reduce its energy. This can lead to explosions even when pressure relief is not timely.

[0020] To further illustrate the present invention, the following description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are merely some, and not all, of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a method for preparing an explosion-proof lightning arrester, the lightning arrester includes a lightning arrester core 1, a high-strength insulating sleeve 2 and a vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3.

[0022] Specifically, combined Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the preparation method comprises: Step S1, spraying fluorosilicone rubber coating on the outer surface of the arrester core 1 at least once, and forming an explosion-proof insulation layer 4 of a preset thickness after curing.

[0023] The explosion-proof insulation layer 4 formed by the fluorosilicone rubber coating is sprayed and cured, tightly covering the outside of the arrester core 2, forming a continuous insulating sealing layer, which can prevent external moisture and gas from invading the core, ensuring the long-term electrical performance stability of the internal arrester core 1. When a fault occurs inside the arrester core 1 and high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated, the explosion-proof insulation layer 4 can expand and transmit pressure, and cracks will appear under the high-temperature and high-pressure gas to release the pressure, thereby conducting the high-temperature and high-pressure gas.

[0024] In this embodiment, the preset thickness is 0.2mm ± 0.05mm. In actual testing, the air pressure required to crack a 0.2mm thick fluorosilicone rubber sheet is approximately 0.28-0.41 MPa. This pressure decreases under high-temperature conditions, causing cracks to form and release pressure when the high-temperature, high-pressure gas generated by the arrester core 1 is exposed. The thickness of the explosion-proof insulation layer 4 can be configured based on the actual size of the arrester to calculate the air pressure that may be generated by a failure.

[0025] The preparation method of the arrester core 1 is as follows: In step S11, zinc oxide, bismuth oxide, antimony oxide, cobalt oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide, and silicon oxide are weighed in proportion by weight and ball-milled to a particle size of less than 3 μm to obtain a suspension slurry. In this embodiment, the weight ratio of zinc oxide, bismuth oxide, antimony oxide, cobalt oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide, and silicon oxide is 94:1:1:1.2:0.6:0.45:0.35:1.4.

[0026] Step S12: spray-dry the suspended slurry to obtain granulated powder, which is then pressed into a valve plate blank under a pressure of 40-50 MPa; and then sintered by gradient temperature increase to obtain a resistor valve plate.

[0027] Among them, gradient sintering is specifically divided into two stages: the first stage: heating to 610±25℃ at a rate of 15-20℃ / min and keeping warm for 1.5-2h; the second stage: heating to 1100±25℃ at a rate of 8-10℃ / min and keeping warm for 2.5-4h.

[0028] Step S13, stack the resistance valve plates in series to form a resistance valve plate column 11, and install a high-voltage electrode 12 and a grounding electrode 13 at both ends of the resistance valve plate column 11 respectively, and install a high-voltage screw 14 and a grounding screw 15 through the end of the high-voltage electrode 12 and the grounding electrode 13 away from the resistance valve plate column 11 respectively to obtain the lightning arrester core 1.

[0029] Step S2: a silicone foam buffer tube 5 with a plurality of openings is sheathed on the outside of the explosion-proof insulation layer 4, and a PTFE film 6 is coated on the surface of the silicone foam buffer tube 5 to obtain a core assembly.

[0030] When the high-temperature and high-pressure gas inside the arrester core 1 is transferred to the silicone foam tube 5 through the expansion and rupture of the explosion-proof insulation layer 4, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas will cause the silicone foam to undergo severe compression and deformation, consuming a large amount of energy, and playing a good buffering role. At the same time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas will also be transferred to the PTFE membrane through its openings. The presence of the PTFE membrane 6 ensures that the foam tube can evenly undergo radial and axial compression deformation when subjected to axial compression, and while allowing the residual high-pressure and high-temperature gas to pass through, it prevents the expanded and fallen silicone foam from being dispersed into the interior of the arrester.

[0031] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in step S3, a plurality of pressure release holes 21 are opened on the high-strength insulating sleeve 2, and the high-strength insulating sleeve 2 is sleeved on the outside of the core assembly to obtain a lightning arrester body.

[0032] By setting the pressure release hole 21, the residual high-temperature and high-pressure gas conducted to the inside of the high-strength insulating sleeve 2 by the PTFE membrane 6 can be released in time, and then discharged to the outside of the high-strength insulating sleeve 2, thereby preventing the high-strength insulating sleeve 2 from bursting due to overpressure, enhancing the explosion-proof performance of the high-strength insulating sleeve 2, thereby avoiding catastrophic explosion accidents and improving safety of use.

[0033] Among them, the high-strength insulating sleeve 2 includes a hollow sleeve 22, an upper end plug 23 and a lower end plug 24; and the specific process of the high-strength insulating sleeve 2 being sleeved on the outside of the core assembly is: inserting the lower end plug 24 into one end of the hollow sleeve 22, and making the first external thread on the outer surface of the lower end plug 24 spirally connected with the first internal thread on the inner side of one end of the hollow sleeve 22; then the core assembly is accommodated in the hollow sleeve 22, and then the upper end plug 23 is inserted into the other end of the hollow sleeve 22, and making the second external thread on the outer surface of the upper end plug 23 spirally connected with the second internal thread on the inner side of the other end of the hollow sleeve 22 to obtain the arrester body.

[0034] In actual use, the upper end plug 23 and the lower end plug 24 are each provided with an opening for passing the corresponding screw. The screw is passed through the opening and is threadedly connected to the hollow sleeve 22.

[0035] Between step S3 and step S4, step S301 is also included, in which a prefabricated heat dissipation interlayer 7 is sheathed on the outer side of the arrester body. The provision of the heat dissipation interlayer 7 improves the heat dissipation conduction rate, and can quickly conduct the heat generated by the arrester core 1 to the outside, thereby preventing heat accumulation inside the arrester core 1 from accelerating the thermal aging of the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3 and the high-strength insulating sleeve 2, resulting in a decrease in insulation performance. This ensures the performance stability of the arrester core 2, thereby greatly extending the service life of the arrester, reducing the cost of use, and improving the safety of use.

[0036] In step S4, the arrester body is placed in a vulcanized umbrella cover mold and vulcanized silicone rubber is injected to form the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3 on the outside of the high-strength insulating sleeve. A number of blind holes 31 that expand and rupture under high pressure are formed on the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3, and the inner bottom surfaces of the blind holes 31 are provided with Y-shaped grooves.

[0037] When the high-temperature, high-pressure gas inside reaches the inside of the vulcanized silicone rubber canopy 3 after being weakened by multiple layers, although the peak pressure has been significantly reduced, if the pressure still exceeds the safety threshold, the high-temperature, high-pressure gas pressure will impact the vulcanized silicone rubber canopy 3, causing the weak point of the vulcanized silicone rubber canopy 3, namely the blind hole 31, to expand and rupture, thereby releasing the internal pressure safely and directionally. The Y-shaped groove helps the blind hole 31 rupture in a targeted and rapid manner to release the pressure.

[0038] Among them, in step S4, the specific process of forming the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3 includes: Step S41, cleaning and activating the outer surface of the high-strength insulating sleeve 2; Step S42: The arrester body is placed into a vulcanized umbrella mold and locked. Vulcanized silicone rubber is then injected into the mold, gradually heated to a preset temperature, and maintained at this temperature for vulcanization. This gradual temperature increase process gradually activates the vulcanization reaction within the vulcanized silicone rubber, avoiding internal stress concentration or overheating decomposition of the silicone rubber material due to sudden temperature increases. This effectively enhances the surface hydrophobicity and voltage resistance of the prepared vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella, prevents cracking, adapts to different environments, and effectively extends the service life of the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella.

[0039] Among them, in S42, after injecting the vulcanized silicone rubber into the vulcanized umbrella cover mold, gradient heating to a preset temperature and heat preservation vulcanization includes three stages of gradient heating and heat preservation vulcanization, which are: Stage 1: Raise the temperature to 95-100°C at a rate of 1-2°C / min and maintain for 5-15 minutes. A 1-2°C / min temperature increase prevents local overheating, and maintaining for 5-15 minutes ensures the complete decomposition of the vulcanizing agent and the initiation of the cross-linking reaction. Pre-curing at 95-100°C promotes uniform diffusion of the vulcanizing agent into the silicone rubber molecular chains, while preventing premature cross-linking that could lead to decreased fluidity.

[0040] The second stage: heating to 155-160℃ at 3-4℃ / min and keeping warm for 8-20min; by increasing the heating rate to 3-4℃ / min, the process cycle can be shortened, and the temperature of 155-160℃ can accelerate the cross-linking reaction, forming a three-dimensional network structure, and improving the mechanical strength and elasticity of silicone rubber.

[0041] Stage 3: Raise the temperature to 175-180°C at a rate of 1-3°C / min and hold for 5-12 minutes. Raising the temperature to 175-180°C at a rate of 1-3°C / min promotes further rearrangement of the silicone rubber molecular chains, reduces internal defects, and eliminates residual stress. Holding for 5-12 minutes balances vulcanization efficiency and over-vulcanization risk.

[0042] By controlling the temperature in stages, gradual control of the vulcanization reaction is achieved, which is beneficial to improving the quality of the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 5 and reducing the energy consumption required for vulcanization.

[0043] Step S43, after stopping heating and cooling to the mold opening temperature, open the vulcanized umbrella cover mold, take out the vulcanized lightning arrester body, and cool it at room temperature to finalize the shape, and finally obtain the lightning arrester body wrapped with the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3.

[0044] The present invention provides a preparation method of an explosion-proof lightning arrester. When an internal fault occurs in the arrester core 1 and high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated, the prepared lightning arrester can expand and crack to transmit air pressure through the explosion-proof insulating layer 4, and squeeze the outer silicone foam tube 5 to compress and deform it and absorb a large amount of energy. The residual air pressure acts on the outer high-strength insulating sleeve 2 evenly and dispersedly through the PTFE membrane 6, and is released through the pressure release hole, and finally impacts the blind hole 31 of the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella sleeve 3 to cause it to rupture and discharge the air pressure, thereby achieving multi-stage attenuation of energy of the high-pressure gas generated when the arrester has an internal fault and then releasing the pressure, avoiding instantaneous energy explosion caused by excessive accumulation of internal pressure, and then causing the arrester to explode violently or physically rupture on the outer surface, effectively improving the efficiency of pressure relief and significantly improving the safety performance of the arrester.

[0045] In some embodiments, the preparation method further includes step S5, in which an anti-ultraviolet coating and a hydrophobic coating (not shown in the figure) are sequentially coated on the outside of the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3, which is beneficial to improving the hydrophobicity and anti-ultraviolet performance of the lightning arrester and extending its service life.

[0046] The specific steps of step S5 include: Step S51: evenly spray an addition-type liquid silicone rubber solution containing a UV absorber onto the surface of the vulcanized silicone rubber umbrella cover 3, and let it stand for 5 minutes to form an initial coating. Standing and leveling can eliminate surface tension gradients and prevent shrinkage cavities in the coating.

[0047] Step S52: preheat the initial coating at 80±5°C for 30±5 minutes, then heat it to 120±5°C and cure it for 60±5 minutes to obtain the UV-resistant coating. Gradual heating can effectively prevent the formation of coating bubbles.

[0048] Step S53 , spin-coating a hydrophobic treatment liquid on the surface of the cured anti-ultraviolet coating to form a wet film, wherein the hydrophobic treatment liquid contains tetradecyltrimethoxysilane, ethanol and acetic acid.

[0049] Step S54: After gradient drying, the wet film is cured at 75-85° C. for 20-40 minutes to form the hydrophobic layer. Gradient drying and low-temperature curing prevent high temperature from damaging the alkyl chain orientation, ensuring the orderly arrangement of the hydrophobic groups and improving the quality of the hydrophobic coating.
