Description
Filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod lead wire crimping die and crimping process Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sleeve lead crimping technology, specifically relating to a small sleeve guide rod crimping mold for filter field capacitors and its crimping process. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, abnormal heating has been found in the filter field capacitors used in the UHV AC / DC transmission project. After gradual investigation, it was discovered that the heating was caused by increased contact resistance at the top of the small bushing conductor. Further inspection of the outer diameter of the copper tube in the heating bushing conductor (the part of the copper tube not cold-pressed) revealed that the drawing specifies a diameter of φ10-φ10.1mm. On-site testing showed that the outer diameter of the copper tube in the heating bushing conductor was smaller than expected, measuring φ9.78mm and φ9.82mm respectively. In contrast, another normal bushing in the same capacitor system has copper tube outer diameters of φ10.02mm and φ10.04mm respectively. The outer diameter of the copper tube in the heating bushing conductor was found to be too small.
[0003] To simulate the insufficient compression caused by the smaller outer diameter of the copper tube in the bushing guide rod, the outer diameter of the copper tube of the qualified size bushing guide rod was ground down to 9.8mm. Both the qualified size bushing guide rod copper tube and the copper tube of the qualified size bushing guide rod were pressed with copper stranded wire in the same upper and lower fixed mold cavity. The contact resistance was then tested and compared. It was found that the contact resistance of the copper tube of the qualified size bushing guide rod was 56.2μΩ, while the contact resistance of the product after the copper tube was ground down was 263μΩ.
[0004] Based on the investigation and testing, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the contact resistance between the abnormal bushing terminal and the copper stranded wire is too high. The main problem is that the outer diameter of the copper tube in the cold-pressed heating bushing guide rod is 0.18-0.22mm smaller. After the rounding shrinkage cold pressing, the outer diameter of the copper tube in the guide rod cannot be effectively compressed in the mold. After cold pressing, the copper tube in some positions cannot make sufficient contact with the soft copper stranded wire, resulting in increased contact resistance.
[0005] Therefore, if the inner diameter of the copper tube at the tail of the bushing guide rod is too large or the outer diameter is too small, exceeding the tolerance requirements, it will lead to insufficient pressing of the copper wire and guide rod by the cold pressing mold, resulting in increased contact resistance and causing localized overheating failure during current flow.
[0006] When standard-sized guide rods are crimped with copper tubes and stranded wires, reliable cold-pressing stability can be maintained. However, for non-standard-sized guide rods, the mold uses upper and lower fixed cavities and lacks the function of error correction and self-correction. As a result, some products have poor crimping quality, which is the biggest drawback and deficiency of the existing crimping technology. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to address the issue of poor crimping process for the small bushing guide rod leads inside capacitors in existing technologies, and to provide a crimping mold for the small bushing guide rod leads of filter field capacitors. To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution adopted by this invention is:
[0008] A filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod crimping die includes a lower die, a supporting inclined block, a frame die, and an upper die. A pair of limiting holes are formed on the vertical plane of the lower die. A connecting hole, horizontally corresponding to the limiting holes, is formed on another inclined surface opposite to the limiting holes. The top of the vertical plane of the lower die is a concave arc surface of 120 degrees. Another lower die is mirror-symmetrically arranged along the vertical plane. A strong spring is engaged between the corresponding limiting holes of the two lower dies. A limiting bolt is coaxially arranged inside the strong spring, with both ends of the limiting bolt engaged at the corresponding connecting holes of the two lower dies, thus forming a movable contraction gap between the two lower dies.
[0009] The inclined surfaces of the two lower molds are slidably connected to the supporting inclined blocks; the supporting inclined blocks are fixedly connected to the frame mold; the upper mold is set above the two lower molds, and the mold closing point of the upper mold is also provided with an inwardly concave arc surface of 120 degrees; the upper mold and the two lower molds are enclosed by their respective inwardly concave arc surfaces to form a mold cavity smaller than the outer diameter of the guide rod to be pressed.
[0010] Furthermore, a springback support is provided at the bottom of the lower mold; the springback support includes a springback spring, a pull rod, a bottom plate, and a top plate; the pull rod is fitted with a springback spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top plate, and the other end passes through the bottom of the frame mold and the bottom plate in sequence and is threadedly fixed to the bottom of the frame mold.
[0011] Furthermore, a stress-bearing plate is provided on the top plate, and one end of a connecting column is integrally fixedly connected to the four corners of the stress-bearing plate. The other end of the connecting column is movably riveted to the top plate. A pressure sensor is provided between the stress-bearing plate and the top plate.
[0012] Preferably, the supporting inclined block is detachably and fixed to the frame mold with a mortise and tenon joint.
[0013] Furthermore, several hemispherical pressure molds are vertically fixed downwards on the concave 120-degree arc surface of the upper mold.
[0014] Preferably, the outer sides of both ends of the mold cavity formed by the upper mold and the two lower molds are coaxially provided with expansion grooves.
[0015] Furthermore, the movable shrinkage gap formed between the two lower molds is less than the axial movement distance of both ends of the limiting bolt within the connecting hole.
[0016] A process for crimping the lead wires of a filter field capacitor's small bushing guide rod is implemented using a crimping mold for the lead wires of the filter field capacitor's small bushing guide rod, and includes the following steps:
[0017] S1. Cut copper stranded wire to the required length according to product specifications, and weld the loose strands at the ends of the copper stranded wire.
[0018] S2. Cut the fused copper stranded wire into segments according to the specified dimensions;
[0019] S3. The welded copper stranded wire and the copper tube of the guide rod are straightened.
[0020] S4. Insert the regularized copper stranded wire into the copper tube of the guide rod, and perform cold pressing operation in the filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod lead wire pressing mold.
[0021] Furthermore, the normalization process in step S3 includes:
[0022] S31. Place the cut copper stranded wire ends into the end mold for constraint processing, molding...
[0023] It is made into a round copper rod that matches the inner hole of the guide rod connecting tube;
[0024] S32. Boring and scraping the inner hole of the guide rod copper tube to remove the surface oxide layer and other impurities.
[0025] Furthermore, a pressure range is set for the lead wire of the guide rod to be crimped based on the actual cold-pressing pressure data set of qualified cold-pressed guide rods;
[0026] When performing cold pressing operations inside the filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod lead wire pressing die.
[0027] Referring to the pressure information transmitted by the pressure sensor inside the mold, the pressing operation stops when the pressure information transmitted by the pressure sensor reaches the set pressure range.
[0028] Compared with existing technologies, this invention can control the crimping mold cavity to elastically shrink with the guide rod diameter, ensuring that after crimping within a certain diameter tolerance range, the inner contact surface of the guide rod is in tight contact with the copper lead wire, eliminating local gaps and the risk of overheating caused by poor contact, thus achieving optimal results with each crimping. It solves the dimensional compatibility problem, effectively eliminating the impact of dimensional deviations on crimping quality and improving the reliability and consistency of crimping quality. The springback support enables flexible and rapid springback demolding, reducing the tension and reset pressure of the strong spring.
[0029] Meanwhile, the crimping process employs multiple operations, including welding, shearing, rounding, boring, and cold pressing, to further eliminate problems such as uneven pressure during crimping caused by loose strands in the copper stranded wire leads, oxidation of the guide rod, and large outer diameter tolerances, which can lead to overheating failures.

Detailed Implementation
[0040] To better understand the present invention, the following embodiments further illustrate the content of the invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details.

Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0042] Example 1, see Figures 3-8.
[0043] A filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod crimping mold includes a lower mold 1, a supporting inclined block 2, a frame mold 3, and an upper mold 4. A pair of limiting holes 11 are formed on the vertical plane of the lower mold 1. A connecting hole 12, horizontally corresponding to the limiting holes 11, is formed on another inclined surface opposite to the limiting holes 11. The top of the vertical plane of the lower mold 1 is an arc surface 13 with a 120-degree concave inward angle. Another lower mold 1 is mirror-symmetrically arranged along the vertical plane. A strong spring 14 is engaged between the corresponding limiting holes 11 of the two lower molds 1. A limiting bolt 15 is coaxially arranged inside the strong spring 14, with both ends of the limiting bolt 15 engaged at the corresponding connecting holes 12 of the two lower molds 1, creating a movable contraction gap between the two lower molds 1. A dynamic balance is achieved between the preload of the limiting bolt 15 and the elastic force of the strong spring 14. When the pressing force provided by the upper mold 4 is transmitted to the lower mold 1, the strong spring 14 is further compressed, and the limiting bolt 15 moves axially within the connecting hole 12; the movable shrinkage gap formed between the two lower molds 1 is less than the axial movement distance of the two ends of the limiting bolt 15 within the connecting hole 12, so as to avoid mold overload damage.
[0044] The inclined surfaces of the two lower molds 1 are each slidably connected to the supporting inclined blocks 2; the supporting inclined blocks 2 are made of hard aluminum alloy, and their inclined surface angle matches that of the lower mold 1; the supporting inclined blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the frame mold 3 by mortise and tenon joints. The frame mold 3 is an integral cast iron structure, providing rigid support. The sliding contact surfaces of the supporting inclined blocks 2 and the lower molds 1 are coated with grease to reduce friction loss. The mortise and tenon structure is designed with trapezoidal tenons and dovetail joints, allowing for easy separation by tapping and pulling during disassembly, and self-locking by gravity during assembly.
[0045] The upper mold 4 is positioned above the two lower molds 1, and a concave arc surface 13 of 120 degrees is also provided at the mold closing point with the lower molds 1. The upper mold 4 and the two lower molds 1 form a mold cavity smaller than the outer diameter of the guide rod to be pressed by their respective concave arc surfaces 13, ensuring that the copper tube 51 part of the guide rod 5 undergoes appropriate shrinkage deformation during pressing.
[0046] Furthermore, a springback support 6 is provided at the bottom of the lower mold 1; the springback support 6 includes a springback spring 61, a pull rod 62, a bottom plate 63, and a top plate 64; the pull rod 62 is fitted with a springback spring 61, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top plate 64, and the other end passes through the bottom of the frame mold 3 and the bottom plate 63 in sequence and is threadedly fixed to the bottom of the frame mold 3. One end of the springback spring 61 abuts against the bottom of the top plate 64, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the frame mold 3.
[0047] Furthermore, a force-bearing plate 65 is provided on the top plate 64, and one end of a connecting column 66 is integrally fixedly connected to the four corners of the force-bearing plate 65. The other end of the connecting column 66 is movably riveted to the top plate 64. A pressure sensor 7 is provided between the force-bearing plate 65 and the top plate 64 to transmit pressure changes during the cold pressing process to the outside.
[0048] Furthermore, several hemispherical pressing molds 41 are vertically fixed downwards on the concave 120-degree arc surface 13 of the upper mold 4. The hemispherical pressing molds 41 are evenly distributed on the arc surface of the upper mold, and during pressing, they form indentations on the surface of the copper tube 51 embedded in the guide rod 5, increasing the contact area and pull-out resistance.
[0049] Preferably, the mold cavity formed by the upper mold 4 and the two lower molds 1 is provided with coaxially extended grooves 42 on both outer sides. The extended grooves 42 at both ends of the mold cavity are used to accommodate the material overflowing from the end lead wire of the copper tube 51 of the guide rod 5 after extrusion, avoiding burrs and sharp edges; at the same time, it avoids the shear stress concentration at the beginning of the copper tube 51, which may cause shear cracks in the copper tube 51, thus reducing the production of defective products.
[0050] In use, the lower mold 1 connected to the frame mold 3 is placed horizontally in a flat position, and the upper mold 4 is fixedly connected to the pressure output end of the press. The mating position of the upper mold 4 and the lower mold 1 is calibrated to ensure accurate mold closing between the upper mold 4 and the two lower molds 1. The copper stranded wire is inserted into the copper tube 51 of the guide rod 5, and the copper tube 51 is placed on the arc-shaped mold cavity of the two lower molds 1. The press drives the upper mold 4 downward, and the pressure mold 41 first contacts the copper tube 51. As the pressure increases, the two lower molds 1 slide down synchronously along the inclined surface of the support inclined block 2, and the strong spring 14 is compressed, closing the mold. The diameter of the mold cavity continuously decreases; at this time, the bottom of the lower mold 1 forms horizontal sliding friction with the force plate 65, and at the same time, pressure is applied downward. The pressure transmitted by the upper mold 4 is transmitted to the spring spring 61 through the lower mold 1, the force plate 65, the pressure sensor 7 and the top plate 64. During the pressing process, the spring spring 61 is further compressed; when the cold pressing work is completed, the pressure is removed, the spring spring 61 is slowly released, pushing the lower mold 1 to gradually move upward along the inclined plane. The diameter of the mold cavity slowly returns to its initial state under the tension of the strong spring 14, realizing flexible spring demolding.
[0051] Compared to existing technologies, this invention allows for the control of the crimping mold cavity to elastically shrink and adjust to the diameter of the guide rod 5. This ensures that after crimping within a certain diameter tolerance range, the inner contact surface of the guide rod 5 maintains tight contact with the copper leads, preventing localized gaps and eliminating the risk of overheating due to poor contact. This ensures optimal results for every crimping operation. It also solves the dimensional compatibility problem, effectively eliminating the impact of dimensional deviations on crimping quality and improving its reliability and consistency. The springback support 6 enables flexible and rapid springback demolding, reducing the tension and reset pressure of the powerful spring.
[0052] Example 2: A filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod lead crimping process, implemented using the filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod lead crimping mold of Example 1, includes the following steps:
[0053] S1. Cut copper stranded wire to the required length according to product specifications. Use micro-beam plasma welding to instantly melt several strands of copper wire within the specified length at the end of the copper stranded wire to form a dense cylinder. The melting depth is controlled at 1.0~1.2 mm, which maintains the conductivity of copper material and completely eliminates loose strands.
[0054] S2. Cut the fused copper stranded wire into segments according to the specified dimensions;
[0055] S3. The welded copper stranded wire and the guide rod copper tube are standardized; that is, the cylindrical end of the cut copper stranded wire is placed in the constrained round mold for constrained processing to form a round copper rod that matches the inner hole of the guide rod copper tube; then the inner hole of the guide rod copper tube is bored and scraped to remove the surface oxide layer and other impurities.
[0056] S4. Insert the regularized copper stranded wire into the copper tube of the guide rod, and perform cold pressing operation in the filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod lead wire pressing mold.
[0057] Furthermore, a pressure range is set for the lead wire of the guide rod to be crimped based on the actual cold-pressing pressure data set of qualified cold-pressed guide rods;
[0058] When performing cold pressing operations inside the filter field capacitor small bushing guide rod lead wire pressing die.
[0059] The crimping pressure information is collected in real time and transmitted to the press. When the pressure information transmitted by the pressure sensor reaches the set pressure range, the press immediately stops the crimping operation, further preventing problems such as underpressure causing loose connections and overheating between the lead wire and the guide rod, and overpressure causing cracking and producing defective products.
[0060] The detailed execution methods of some steps in this embodiment have been described in Embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.
[0061] To further verify the reliability of this process, resistance and tensile strength tests were conducted on 100 samples treated with the improved process. The resistance test results are shown in Table 1. The random sampling tensile strength tests are shown in Table 2, and the results were good, all meeting the requirements.
