[0002] With the accelerated construction of smart grids, the continuous improvement of distribution network automation, and the large-scale grid connection of distributed energy, distribution network systems are facing severe challenges in multiple dimensions, including power supply security, operational reliability, and economy. This places unprecedentedly high demands on the long-term intelligent operation and stability of ring main unit equipment. As the new urbanization strategy deepens, urban distribution network construction is facing increasingly scarce land resources, and power supply equipment installed in underground distribution rooms is susceptible to flooding. Therefore, the reliability and safety of power supply need continuous improvement.

There is an urgent need to overcome space limitations through innovative, highly reliable, and compact designs. In traditional ring main units, the copper rods heat up rapidly during transmission, and sharp corners can easily cause sudden changes in the electric field, leading to discharge at the bottom plate of the gas tank, posing a safety hazard.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments: such as Figures 1-11 The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a highly reliable, compact, environmentally friendly gas-insulated ring main unit, such as... Figure 1 and 8 As shown, this embodiment includes a gas box 8, a three-position switch 18 fixedly connected inside the gas box 8, a circuit breaker switch 19 fixedly connected inside the gas box 8, an integrated current transformer 10 fixedly connected inside the gas box 8, and an equalizing ring 14 fixedly connected to one end of the integrated current transformer 10, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a side plate 15 is fixedly connected inside the gas box 8, an inner reinforcing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the side plate 15, a side expansion sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the side plate 15, and a special-shaped reinforcing rib 17 is fixedly connected to the gas box 8. The side expansion sleeve 7 is located above the three-position switch 18. The side expansion sleeve 7 adopts a concave design and an inner reinforcing plate 16 to solve the problem of gas box 8 deformation after inflation, and the problem of air leakage due to poor sealing between the side expansion sleeve 7 and the box body sealing ring. The side plate 15 is welded with rounded corner steel to replace the industry's stainless steel C-shaped bending structure. The use of rounded corner steel has two advantages: first, it has good bending strength and solves the problem of gas box 8 deformation with a smaller shape; second, it solves the electric field problem and further shortens the width of the gas box and saves space. The use of the side expansion sleeve 7 solves the problem of insulation of the high voltage conductor to the side plate 15. The circuit breaker switch 19 is located below the three-position switch 18, and the integrated current transformer 10 is located below the circuit breaker switch 19. The bottom of the gas box 8 is fixedly connected to the cable chamber 6, and the side of the gas box 8 is fixedly connected to the mechanism chamber 3. The mechanism chamber 3 is fixedly connected to the sealed three-position mechanism 4 and the sealed circuit breaker mechanism 5. The sealed three-position mechanism 4 is connected to the three-position switch 18 via a cable dynamic seal, and the sealed circuit breaker mechanism 5 is connected to the circuit breaker switch 19 via a cable dynamic seal. The mechanism chamber 3 is fixedly connected to the instrument chamber 1, and the instrument chamber 1 is fixedly connected to the digital sensing unit 2. The sealed three-position mechanism 4 and the sealed circuit breaker mechanism 5 adopt the IP67 protection level to solve the problems of the mechanism not operating due to environmental influences during equipment operation, such as rust, short service life, and inability to operate under flood conditions. like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the circuit breaker switch 19 is connected to the equalizing ring 14 through a conductive copper tube 9. Several vent holes 13 are opened on the conductive copper tube 9 to solve the problem of internal filling during the processing of the conductive copper tube 9 (to avoid bending and deformation) and internal heat dissipation (to exhaust hot air) during equipment operation; the conductive copper tube 9 is covered with a sulfide layer to solve the problem of compact insulation. like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the integrated current transformer 10 is fixedly connected to a tapered cable sleeve 11. The tapered cable sleeve 11 is connected to the power supply through a section of conductive copper pipe 9. The integrated current transformer 10 is provided with two aviation connectors 12. The integrated current transformer 10 and the digital sensing unit 2 are connected and transmitted through the aviation connectors 12. The integrated current transformer 10 adopts an integrated current and voltage bushing type current transformer, which integrates the functions of current, voltage, and cable outlet bushing. It has a high degree of integration. The current transformer uses a low-power coil, which has small signal attenuation and integrates the function of voltage transformer. The signal transmission between the integrated current transformer 10 and the digital sensing unit 2 is carried out through aviation connectors. It is sealed, safe and reliable. It has an integrated configuration, full functions, low cost, small space occupation, and realizes digital functions. By adding an equalizing ring 14, the electric field problem at the junction of the bushing, air and epoxy is solved. The fastening screw is wrapped inside the equalizing ring 14 to avoid the electric field change caused by sharp corners and solve the discharge between phases and the bottom plate of the gas box 8.
