Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage isolating switches, and in particular to a high-voltage isolating switch adaptable to different environments. Background Art

[0002] High-voltage disconnectors are widely used in power systems as disconnecting and isolating devices. They are primarily used to provide a clear disconnect point during maintenance of high-voltage transmission and distribution lines or equipment, ensuring safety during these operations. Existing high-voltage disconnectors typically utilize an exposed contact structure, meaning the moving and stationary contacts are constantly exposed to the air, and direct contact is established upon closing.

[0003] However, in complex environments such as windy sand, high humidity, rain, and snow, exposed contacts are susceptible to contamination from factors such as dust, moisture, and salt spray. This can lead to oxidation, corrosion, or accumulation of dirt on the contact surface, resulting in poor contact, breakdown, and even ablation, seriously affecting the reliability and service life of the disconnector. Furthermore, in traditional structures, the contacts rely solely on their own mechanical positioning and closure, lacking auxiliary crimping capabilities, resulting in poor conduction stability. Cleaning and maintenance often rely on manual labor, increasing operational costs and preventing automated online cleaning. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figure 1-10 The present invention provides a technical solution: a high-voltage disconnector adaptable to different environments, comprising a base 100 for supporting the entire switch structure; two insulating columns 101, respectively arranged on both sides of the base 100, for supporting the contact assembly and achieving electrical isolation; a static mounting seat 102, arranged on the top of one of the insulating columns 101; a dynamic mounting seat 103, arranged on the top of the other insulating column 101; a static contact 104 and a dynamic contact 105, respectively slidably arranged in the static mounting seat 102 and the dynamic mounting seat 103, and can be extended to complete contact in the working state, and retracted into the mounting seat in the non-working state, so as to adapt to harsh environments such as wind, sand, rain and snow, and avoid long-term exposure of the contacts to affect performance.

[0021] To drive the telescopic movement of the contacts, the disconnector further includes a first telescopic member 106. The first telescopic member 106 comprises two parallel mounting frames 106a, one end of each of which is rotatably connected to the movable mounting base 103 via a rotating shaft; two movable contacts 105, each slidably mounted within the mounting frames 106a; a cam 106b, fixedly mounted on the movable mounting base 103; two mounting protrusions 106c, each disposed on the inner side of the two mounting frames 106a; two sliding rods 106d, each slidably passing through the mounting protrusions 106c, with one end abutting against the outer edge of the cam 106b and the other end connected to the corresponding movable contact 105; and two compression springs 106e, each disposed between the mounting protrusions 106c and the movable contact 105, for providing a reset force for the movable contact 105. When the driving mechanism rotates the mounting frame 106a, the sliding rod 106d slides on the outer edge surface of the cam 106b and undergoes axial displacement, thereby driving the moving contact 105 to extend or retract in the mounting frame 106a, thereby achieving controllable driving of the moving contact 105.

[0022] The disconnector also includes a second telescopic member 107. The second telescopic member 107 includes: a mounting cavity 107a, which is provided within the static mounting seat 102; a lateral opening 107b, formed on the sidewall of the mounting cavity 107a; a triangular slider 107c, which is slidably mounted on the static mounting seat 102 and can enter the mounting cavity 107a under the drive of a power member 107d; the power member 107d adopts a connecting rod structure, which is used to drive the triangular slider 107c to slide along a set direction. The triangular slider 107c has a sloped structure, and its slope abuts against the slope of the bottom of the static contact 104. When the triangular slider 107c slides into the mounting cavity 107a, its slope pushes the static contact 104 upward, thereby achieving the lifting and lowering movement of the static contact 104, cooperating with the moving contact 105 to complete the closing or separation operation.

[0023] To achieve synchronized movement of the moving and static contacts 104, the disconnector also includes a power linkage structure. This structure comprises a first rotating block 107d-1, one end of which is rotatably connected to one end of the outer side of the mounting frame 106a; and a second rotating block 107d-2, one end of which is rotatably connected to the triangular slider 107c and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the other end of the first rotating block 107d-1. This power linkage structure allows the moving and static contacts 105, 104 to be simultaneously controlled to achieve synchronized extension and retraction, driven by a single drive source, improving operational coordination and efficiency.

[0024] To enhance the contact fit, a pop-up member 108 is provided at the other end of the mounting frame 106a. This pop-up member 108 comprises a mounting post 108a, located outside the mounting frame 106a and having a sloped end; a stopper 108b, mounted on the mounting post 108a; a telescopic spring 108c, located between the stopper 108b and the mounting frame 106a to provide a resilient force for the mounting post 108a; a sliding sleeve 108d, slidingly disposed between the mounting frame 106a and the moving contact 105 and connected to the mounting frame 106a via an elastic spring 108e; and a through hole 108f, provided in the mounting frame 106a, for allowing the mounting post 108a to pass through after the sliding sleeve 108d moves and contact the side of the moving contact 105, thereby pressing the moving contact 105 toward the static contact 104 and enhancing the fit. When the moving contact 105 slides to the end of the mounting frame 106a, it pushes the sliding sleeve 108d to move axially, exposing the channel of the mounting column 108a. The mounting column 108a is pushed out under the action of the spring force and contacts the side of the moving contact 105, forming a lateral crimping; when the moving contact 105 returns, the sliding sleeve 108d returns under the action of the elastic spring 108e, and pushes the mounting column 108a back to its original position through the inclined surface cooperation between it and the mounting column 108a. The structure is self-locking and reliable, and the movements are coordinated.

[0025] Furthermore, to reduce the risk of poor contact due to external contamination, a friction plate 109 is installed inside the mounting frame 106a. Positioned along the retracting path of the moving contact 105, the friction plate 109 maintains constant contact with the contact surface during its reciprocating motion, automatically cleaning the surface of dust and oxides and maintaining good electrical performance. The friction plate 109 is removably attached to the mounting frame 106a via a clip 110, facilitating maintenance and replacement, further enhancing the device's practicality and convenience.

[0026] Working Principle: When the disconnector needs to be closed, the drive mechanism activates, causing the two mounting frames 106a to rotate around the movable mounting seat 103, which in turn drives the sliding rod 106d to slide along the outer edge of the cam 106b. As the sliding rod 106d moves, the moving contact 105 extends outward along the mounting frame 106a. When the moving contact 105 slides to the end of the mounting frame 106a, its end contacts the sliding sleeve 108d at one end of the mounting frame 106a, pushing the sliding sleeve 108d axially, exposing the through-hole 108f in the mounting frame 106a. At this point, the mounting post 108a, under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 108c, passes through the through-hole 108f and abuts against the side of the moving contact 105, exerting lateral pressure on the moving contact 105. This enhances the contact stability between the moving contact 105 and the stationary contact 104, reduces contact resistance, and improves conduction reliability.

[0027] At the same time, the transmission element begins to operate, driving the triangular slider 107c mounted on the static mounting seat 102 to slide along a predetermined direction into the mounting cavity 107a. Triangular slider 107c has an inclined surface that abuts against the static contact 104. During its sliding, the inclined surface pushes the static contact 104 upward, causing it to rise synchronously. When the movable contact 105 and the static contact 104 are docked, the entire disconnector is electrically closed.

[0028] During the closing action, the moving contact 105 comes into contact with the friction plate 109 provided on the inner side of the mounting frame 106a in the extension path. The friction plate 109 wipes its contact surface to remove dust, oxide layer and other attachments in time, effectively ensuring good electrical conductivity between the contacts and preventing poor contact due to contamination.

[0029] When the disconnector needs to be opened, the drive mechanism reverses, driving the sliding rod 106d back along the cam 106b. Under the reset force of the compression spring 106e, the moving contact 105 retracts along the mounting frame 106a. The sliding sleeve 108d also returns to its original position under the action of its elastic spring 108e, contacting the inclined surface of the mounting post 108a and pushing the mounting post 108a back to its original position, thereby releasing the lateral pressure on the moving contact 105. Simultaneously, the power linkage structure drives the triangular slider 107c out of the mounting cavity 107a, and the static contact 104 moves downward and eventually retracts into the static mounting seat 102, completing the disconnection of the switch.

[0030] Throughout operation, the moving contact 105 and the stationary contact 104 extend only when needed. When not in operation, they remain stowed, preventing long-term exposure to complex environments such as wind, sand, rain, and snow, thereby improving overall protection. Furthermore, during the extension and retraction process, the contacts cooperate with the friction plate 109 to achieve an automatic cleaning function, significantly improving contact surface cleanliness and conduction stability. The provision of a pop-up structure enhances contact compression and further reduces contact resistance, ensuring the high reliability and long life of the high-voltage disconnector even in harsh environments.
