Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of grounding equipment technology, specifically relating to a temporary fast grounding device for substation maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the power system and the gradual increase in voltage levels, the frequency and complexity of substation equipment maintenance have significantly increased. To ensure the safety of personnel during maintenance, reliable grounding of de-energized equipment is crucial. This effectively eliminates residual charge and prevents the risk of electric shock caused by accidental energization or induced current.

[0003] However, existing grounding technologies primarily rely on workers manually connecting the grounding wire to pre-buried grounding stakes, grounding copper pillars, and other grounding structures using bolts. This traditional grounding method has several problems:

[0004] First, its applicability is limited. It requires a pre-installed grounding structure on site. In areas without such a structure, temporary and rapid grounding work cannot be carried out, making it difficult to meet the complex and ever-changing actual maintenance needs.

[0005] Secondly, the grounding effect is poor. There are many gaps between the grounding structure and the underground soil, which leads to high grounding impedance and makes it easy for poor contact to occur. This affects the stability and reliability of the grounding system and fails to provide sufficient safety for workers.

[0006] In practical applications, technicians in related fields have made numerous attempts to address the problems existing in current grounding technologies, but all have faced significant difficulties. For example, to solve the problem of limited applicability, it is necessary to consider quickly constructing a reliable grounding connection in places where there is no pre-buried grounding structure. However, how to achieve rapid and convenient installation while ensuring grounding effectiveness has become a major challenge. Traditional methods rely on manual bolt tightening, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to meet the needs of temporary rapid grounding.

[0007] To address the issue of poor grounding performance, reducing the gap between the grounding structure and the soil to decrease grounding impedance is crucial. However, the physical properties of soil are complex and varied, with significant differences in soil texture, moisture, and other conditions at different regions and depths. Finding a universal method or material to effectively fill the gaps and reduce impedance while ensuring good contact with the soil and long-term stability presents an extremely high technical challenge.

[0008] Currently, research literature on power grounding technology has mentioned the shortcomings of traditional grounding methods. For example, the "Power System Grounding Technology Handbook" (published in 2023) points out that relying on pre-buried grounding structures restricts temporary operations, gaps between the grounding structure and the soil cause high impedance problems, and poor contact leads to reliability risks. "Discussion on Grounding Methods for Metal Sheaths of High-Voltage Single-Core Cables" (published in 2015) mentions that traditional bolt-fastening connections are difficult to deploy in complex environments, manual operation is time-consuming, and it is difficult to adapt to emergency maintenance scenarios. After long-term use, loosening can easily lead to increased contact resistance, and there is a lack of universal solutions to the impact of soil condition differences on grounding effectiveness. These documents reflect the deficiencies of existing grounding technologies in meeting the needs of temporary rapid grounding and improving grounding effectiveness. Therefore, this application proposes a temporary rapid grounding device for substation maintenance to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the conductive fluid reduces drilling difficulty and fills voids in the soil, thereby lowering soil impedance and improving soil conductivity. This method also allows for rapid formation of a grounding structure, conveniently meeting temporary and rapid grounding needs. Actual simulations and theoretical reasoning demonstrate that the reduced grounding impedance provides greater safety for workers, avoiding the risk of electric shock due to poor grounding and ensuring the safe and efficient conduct of substation maintenance work.

All actuating gears 205 mesh with the fixed gear 206.

[0056] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0057] The device is moved to the required grounding position using the movable wheels. Then, two lifting motors 303 and a rotating motor 304 are started to rotate. The two lifting motors 303 drive the two threaded rods 302 to rotate respectively. Since the moving platform 301 is screwed to the two threaded rods 302, it slides downward along the vertical section of the fixed frame 310. At the same time, the rotating motor 304 drives the driving gear 305 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 306 to rotate. The driven gear 306 drives the cylinder 101 to rotate outside the core column 118. The cylinder 101 drives the drill head 200 at the lower end to rotate, thus achieving simultaneous descent and rotation of the drill head 200.

[0058] The cylinder 101 drives the main drill body 201 to rotate. The conical section of the main drill body 201 drills a hole in the ground, simultaneously driving a ring of extensions 202 and a ring of auxiliary drill bodies 203 to rotate around the axis of the cylinder 101. Since the fixed gear 206 at the lower end of the core column 118 remains fixed, and the moving gears 205 at the upper end of the connecting shaft mesh with the fixed gears 206, the moving gears 205 rotate. This causes the auxiliary drill bodies 203 to revolve around the axis of the cylinder 101 while maintaining their own rotation, thus improving the drilling efficiency of the auxiliary drill bodies 203. The gap between two adjacent extensions 202 can serve as an active area for breaking up the soil. That is, when the main drill body 201 and the ring of auxiliary drill bodies 203 drill downwards, the broken soil can move through the gap between the two extensions 202 to above the main drill body 201, thereby preventing soil accumulation and hindering drilling operations. By utilizing the distribution of the main drill body 201 and multiple auxiliary drill bodies 203, multi-point breaking of the soil layer can be achieved, increasing the borehole area and avoiding the situation where the reaction force of the soil on the main drill body 201 is concentrated on the lower surface of the main drill body 201 when only the main drill body 201 is used, which would result in excessive drilling resistance. The breaking bodies on the auxiliary drill bodies 203 can be any structure that is conducive to drilling, such as drill teeth or inclined cones. The guide plate 204 can push the broken soil in the middle of the borehole to the gap between multiple adjacent extensions 202 around the borehole.

[0059] During the downward drilling process of the main drill body 201 and the auxiliary drill body 203, the conductive liquid inside the material box 308 is pumped out by the material pump 309, and then fed into the material chamber 103 through the discharge pipe and the feed channel 121. Finally, it is output to the soil through the material hole 104 on the side wall of the material chamber 103, thereby softening the soil and reducing the drilling difficulty of the main drill body 201 and the auxiliary drill body 203. It also reduces the difficulty of inserting the conductive cone 106 into the soil.

[0060] After drilling is complete, the air pump 307 is turned on. The air pump 307 injects high-pressure gas into the air guide chamber 111 through the air inlet pipe and air inlet channel 119. The air guide chamber 111 enters the hidden groove space above each piston block 113 through the air guide hole 112, which increases the pressure in the hidden groove space above the piston block 113. At the same time, the high-pressure gas enters the rod body 105 through the air inlet 114 on the piston block 113, causing the rod body 105 to expand. This prevents the rod body 105 from being squeezed by the soil and becoming bent or flattened after entering the soil. At the same time, the piston block 113 slides downward in the hidden groove under the pressure. The piston block 113 drives the rod body 105 and the conductive cone 106 to slide downward. The conductive cone 106 slides downward in the straight groove 109 of the mounting groove 108. The conductive cone 106 first contacts the protrusion 115, causing it to turn and smoothly enter the arc-shaped groove 110 of the mounting groove 108. It then continues to slide downwards within the arc-shaped groove 110 until it contacts the sealing plate 116. As the piston block 113 continues to slide downwards, the conductive cone 106 pushes open the sealing plate 116 and extends beyond the recessed groove, inserting into the soil. As the piston block 113 continues to slide downwards, the conductive cone 106 is continuously inserted into the soil until a designated depth is reached. The protrusion 115 limits the piston block 113, preventing it from entering the arc-shaped groove 110. Grounding is achieved by maintaining an electrical connection between the conductive cone 106, the wire, the piston block 113, the conductive plate 120, and the external grounding wire. The radial insertion of multiple conductive cones 106 into the soil increases the underground radiation range of the grounding device, facilitating large-area current diffusion and improving grounding effectiveness and safety. Because the pores in the soil are filled with conductive liquid, the conductive cone 106 makes closer contact with the soil, thereby reducing the impact of the pores in the soil on impedance and improving conductivity.

[0061] After grounding is complete, the conductive cone 106 and rod 105 need to be retracted into the recessed groove. At this time, the air pump 307 is controlled to run in reverse, and the air pump 307 draws out the air inside the air guide chamber 111 through the air intake channel 119 and the air intake pipe, thereby drawing the air guide chamber 111 into a negative pressure state. Under the action of negative pressure, the piston block 113 slides upward inside the recessed groove, thereby causing the conductive cone 106 and rod 105 to continuously retract into the recessed groove until they return to their initial positions. After the conductive cone 106 enters the recessed groove, the sealing plate 116 begins to rotate upward under the action of the elastic body 117 until the outlet of the recessed groove is resealed. In order to prevent the conductive cone 106 from being stuck by the sealing plate 116 during retraction, the end of the sealing plate 116 can be designed as an arc-shaped structure, or the connection between the conductive cone 106 and the rod 105 can be designed as an arc-shaped structure.
