Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical cabinet technology, specifically to a busbar paralleling device. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS / C-GIS) is medium- and high-voltage electrical equipment using SF6, N2, or a mixture of gases as the insulating medium, primarily used at voltage levels of 35kV and below. Its core components include busbars, circuit breakers, and disconnectors, all integrated within a metal grounded enclosure, employing vacuum or SF6 arc-extinguishing technology. Gas-insulated switchgear achieves compact size (cabinet width can be less than 600mm) and lightweight design through modular design, equipped with a sealed gas chamber (IP67 protection rating) and a laser-welded stainless steel gas box, with an annual gas leakage rate ≤0.1%.

[0003] In the design of gas-insulated switchgear, there is a direct relationship between rated current and structural dimensions: High-current gas-insulated switchgear: Gas-insulated switchgear with a rated current ≥2000A typically has a busbar disc insulator diameter ≥120mm and a flange outer diameter ≥120mm to meet higher insulation and heat dissipation requirements; Low-current gas-insulated switchgear: Gas-insulated switchgear with a rated current ≤630A typically has a busbar disc insulator diameter ≤80mm and a flange outer diameter ≤80mm, resulting in a more compact structure. This difference in dimensions stems from technical specifications: larger currents require larger insulator sizes to ensure sufficient creepage distance and mechanical strength, while also requiring a larger heat dissipation area to cope with higher thermal loads.

[0004] When gas-insulated switchgear with different rated currents needs to be connected on the same busbar, the following technical challenges are mainly faced:

[0005] Insulator size mismatch: The outer diameter of the insulator flange of a high-current gas-filled switchgear (e.g., 120mm) cannot be directly connected to that of a low-current gas-filled switchgear (e.g., 80mm). The size difference prevents the formation of an effective sealing surface, which may cause gas leakage.

[0006] Electrical performance issues: Insulators of different sizes can cause uneven electric field distribution, potentially leading to partial discharge. Increased contact resistance at connections can cause excessive temperature rise (potentially exceeding the 65K limit).

[0007] Insufficient mechanical strength: The mechanical strength of the reducing joint may not meet the impact requirements of a short-circuit current (e.g., 31.5kA / 4s). Under vibration, the connector is prone to loosening, affecting long-term reliability.

[0008] Currently, the industry is trying to solve the above problems by using intermediate transition cabinets. However, intermediate transition cabinets occupy a lot of space and reduce system reliability. They have failed to fundamentally solve the problem of parallel connection caused by the difference in insulator size between gas-filled cabinets with different rated currents. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new technical solutions to achieve reliable and economical busbar parallel connection. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a busbar paralleling device that solves the problems existing in existing busbar paralleling devices.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a busbar paralleling device, comprising a busbar cabinet, a high-rated-current busbar connector, a low-rated-current busbar connector, and a connector. The connector is columnar, with a first limiting ring on its outer circumferential wall near its right end and a second limiting ring on its outer circumferential wall near its left end. A first flange and a second flange are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector on opposite sides of the first and second limiting rings, respectively. The right end of the connector has a first insertion hole for connecting to the high-rated-current busbar connector, and the left end of the connector has a second insertion hole for connecting to the low-rated-current busbar connector. Both the first and second insertion holes have sealing structures on their inner walls. The connector is equipped with a conductive structure to improve contact tightness and enhance conductivity. A connecting hole is provided on the inner wall of the connector, between the first and second insertion holes, to allow passage through both holes. A pipe joint is provided on the upper wall of the connector, and a regulating valve is installed on the pipe joint. The end of the pipe joint facing the connector communicates with the interior of the connecting hole. The end of the pipe joint away from the connector is connected to the air chamber of the busbar cabinet via a metal corrugated pipe. A pressure detection structure is provided on the front wall of the connector to detect the air pressure inside the connecting hole. Two sets of heat dissipation sleeves are provided on the upper wall of the connector, between the first and second limiting rings, with the two sets of heat dissipation sleeves located on the left and right sides of the pipe joint, respectively. A temperature detection structure is provided on the upper wall of the connector, between the opposite sides of the two sets of heat dissipation sleeves, to detect the connector temperature.

[0011] The first flange and the second flange are respectively fastened with bolts (torque 25±2N·m) to achieve air chamber sealing. The first limit ring and the second limit ring are used to fix the first flange and the second flange respectively. Different sizes of the first flange and the second flange can be selected according to the size of the busbar disc insulator.

[0012] The metal bellows can compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of the busbar (axial displacement ≥10mm), and at the same time maintain the pressure balance of the air chamber through the pipe joint 9 to avoid sealing failure due to pressure difference.

[0013] Preferably, the heat dissipation sleeve is composed of a first heat dissipation layer, a second heat dissipation layer and a third heat dissipation layer that are fixedly connected from the inside to the outside. The first heat dissipation layer and the third heat dissipation layer are both aluminum alloy rings. The outer wall of the third heat dissipation layer is provided with multiple sets of protruding ribs for increasing the surface area. The multiple sets of protruding ribs are evenly distributed in a circle with the axis of the third heat dissipation layer as the center. The protrusion height of the multiple sets of protruding ribs is 2~3mm, and the distance between two adjacent sets of protruding ribs is 5~8mm.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the first heat dissipation layer is provided with multiple sets of grooves, and the multiple sets of grooves are evenly distributed in a circle with the axis of the first heat dissipation layer as the center. A TEC module is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each set of grooves. The side of the TEC module facing the axis of the first heat dissipation layer abuts against the outer wall of the connector. The TEC module and the outer wall of the connector are connected by thermally conductive silicone.

[0015] The aluminum alloy base (thermal conductivity ≥200W / m·K) combined with the raised ridge design increases the heat dissipation area by more than 35%, which can effectively conduct heat inside the connector; the TEC module actively dissipates heat through the Peltier effect, and with the thermal conductive silicone (thermal conductivity ≥2.5W / m·K), the hot spot temperature of the connector can be reduced by 8~10℃;

[0016] Preferably, the second heat dissipation layer consists of a shell and a PCM phase change paraffin filling layer filled inside the shell. The shell is a copper-graphene alloy, the PCM phase change paraffin filling layer has a filling density of 85%~90%, and the paraffin phase change range of the PCM phase change paraffin filling layer is 45~65℃.

[0017] When the temperature exceeds 45℃, paraffin undergoes a phase change and absorbs heat (latent heat ≥180kJ / kg). The copper-graphene shell can accelerate heat diffusion, keeping the connector temperature fluctuation range within ±3℃.

[0018] Preferably, the sealing structure includes two sets of sealing grooves and two sets of sealing elements. The two sets of sealing grooves are respectively disposed on the inner sidewalls of the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. The two sets of sealing elements are respectively disposed on the inner sidewall of one set of sealing grooves. The sealing elements have a rectangular cross-section and are made of fluororubber with a Shore hardness of 70±5.

[0019] Fluororubber seals form a continuous sealing surface within a compression range of 20-30%. Combined with the clamping force of the first flange 4, the annual leakage rate of the gas chamber can be controlled to ≤0.1%, meeting the IP67 protection level requirements.

[0020] Preferably, the conductive structure includes two sets of flexible conductive layers, which are respectively fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of the first and second insertion holes. Both the first and second insertion holes have annular grooves on their inner sidewalls. The two sets of flexible conductive layers are respectively disposed on the inner sidewalls of one set of annular grooves. The flexible conductive layers are graphene / carbon nanotube composite materials. The inner wall of the set of flexible conductive layers located in the first insertion hole protrudes 1-2 mm from the inner wall of the first insertion hole, and the inner wall of the set of flexible conductive layers located in the second insertion hole protrudes 1-2 mm from the inner wall of the second insertion hole.

[0021] The elastic deformation characteristics of the flexible conductive layer can compensate for the busbar tolerance, and the outstanding design makes the contact pressure ≥0.6MPa. Combined with the low resistance characteristics of graphene material (contact resistance ≤10μΩ), the temperature rise is reduced by more than 40% compared with traditional copper contact surfaces.

[0022] Preferably, the air pressure detection structure is an air pressure gauge, which is threadedly connected to the front wall of the connector, and the air pressure gauge is in communication with the interior of the connecting hole.

[0023] The pressure gauge can display the air chamber pressure in real time (range 0~1.6MPa). With the help of raw rubber tape sealing, leakage of the detection interface can be prevented. When the pressure is lower than 0.3MPa, air needs to be added in time.

[0024] Preferably, the temperature detection structure includes two sets of temperature sensors, both sets of temperature sensors are fixedly connected to the upper wall of the connector, and the two sets of temperature sensors are respectively close to a heat sink. The temperature sensors are PT100 platinum resistance sensors of model WZP-230, and the temperature sensor accuracy is ±0.15℃.

[0025] With the above structure, the high-precision temperature sensor can monitor the surface temperature of the connector in real time (range -50℃~200℃), and with the heat dissipation system, the temperature rise can be controlled below the limit of 65K.

[0026] Preferably, the connector comprises a body and an insulating layer disposed on the outer wall of the body, the insulating layer comprising a silicone rubber insulating layer disposed on the outer wall of the body and a polyimide wear-resistant layer disposed on the outer wall of the silicone rubber insulating layer.

[0027] The silicone rubber insulation layer provides excellent dielectric properties (power frequency withstand voltage ≥95kV), and the polyimide wear-resistant layer can withstand mechanical wear during busbar insertion and removal. The overall insulation performance meets the requirements of GB / T 3906-2020 standard.

[0028] Preferably, the lower wall of the connector is provided with a grounding cable and a threaded hole, which does not communicate with the interior of the connecting hole. A fixing bolt is threaded to the inner side wall of the threaded hole, and the grounding cable is fixedly connected to the connector through the fixing bolt.

[0029] With the above structure, the grounding cable has a cross-sectional area of ​​≥35mm² and a grounding resistance of ≤0.1Ω, which can effectively discharge fault current (≥31.5kA / 4s) and meet the requirements of IEC 62271-200 standard.

[0030] This invention provides a busbar paralleling device. It has the following advantages:

[0031] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this busbar paralleling device effectively solves the problem of insulator size matching between gas-insulated switchgear with different rated currents through an integrated variable diameter connection structure. Its columnar connector has insertion holes of different inner diameters at both ends. Through the coordinated positioning of the limiting ring and flange, mechanical docking of high-current gas-insulated switchgear (≥2000A) and low-current gas-insulated switchgear (≤630A) is achieved. The sealing structure uses fluororubber parts with a Shore hardness of 70±5, ensuring an annual gas chamber leakage rate of ≤0.1% within a 20-30% compression range. Simultaneously, the conductive structure uses graphene / carbon nanotube composite materials to stabilize the contact resistance below 10μΩ, avoiding the problems of increased contact resistance and excessive temperature rise caused by traditional transition switchgear.

[0032] 2. Compared with existing technologies, this busbar paralleling device innovatively integrates air pressure monitoring and a composite heat dissipation system, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the connection parts. The combination design of pipe joints and metal bellows enables real-time monitoring of air chamber pressure, while the three-stage heat dissipation structure (aluminum alloy substrate + TEC module + PCM phase change layer) can control the connector temperature within the 45-65℃ phase change range. Combined with a temperature sensor with an accuracy of ±0.15℃, it effectively prevents the risk of partial discharge and overheating. Its mechanical strength meets the requirements of 31.5kA / 4s short-circuit current impact, and the overall structure reduces the volume by more than 60% compared with traditional transition cabinets.

[0049] To prevent gas leakage, the inner walls of the first insertion hole 6 and the second insertion hole 7 are provided with sealing structures. The sealing structures include two sets of sealing grooves 18 and two sets of sealing elements 8. The two sets of sealing grooves 18 are respectively provided on the inner walls of the first insertion hole 6 and the second insertion hole 7.

The sealing element 8 has a rectangular cross section and is made of fluororubber with a Shore hardness of 70±5.

[0050] Fluororubber seals form a continuous sealing surface within a compression range of 20-30%. Combined with the clamping force of the first flange 4, the annual leakage rate of the gas chamber can be controlled to ≤0.1%, meeting the IP67 protection level requirements.

[0051] To reduce contact resistance, conductive structures are provided on the inner walls of the first insertion hole 6 and the second insertion hole 7 to improve the contact tightness and thus enhance conductivity. The conductive structures include two sets of flexible conductive layers 19, which are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the first insertion hole 6 and the second insertion hole 7, respectively. The inner walls of the first insertion hole 6 and the second insertion hole 7 are provided with annular grooves.

[0052] The elastic deformation characteristics of the flexible conductive layer 19 can compensate for the busbar tolerance. The outstanding design ensures a contact pressure ≥0.6MPa. Combined with the low resistance characteristics of graphene material (contact resistance ≤10μΩ), the temperature rise is reduced by more than 40% compared with traditional copper contact surfaces.

[0053] In order to achieve pressure equalization in the air chamber, a connecting hole 21 is provided on the inner wall of the connector 1 between the first insertion hole 6 and the second insertion hole 7 for passing through the first insertion hole 6 and the second insertion hole 7.

The protrusion height of the multiple sets of protruding ribs 17 is 2~3mm, and the distance between two adjacent sets of protruding ribs 17 is 5~8mm. The aluminum alloy substrate (thermal conductivity ≥200W / m·K) combined with the raised ridge 17 design increases the heat dissipation area by more than 35%, effectively conducting heat inside connector 1; the TEC module 20 is connected to the outer wall of connector 1 via thermally conductive silicone; the TEC module 20 actively dissipates heat through the Peltier effect, and with the thermally conductive silicone (thermal conductivity ≥2.5W / m·K), the hot spot temperature of connector 1 can be reduced by 8~10℃; the second heat dissipation layer 15 consists of the housing 1501 and the P-type silicone filling the inside of the housing 1501. The PCM phase change paraffin filling layer 1502 is composed of a copper-graphene alloy housing 1501 and a PCM phase change paraffin filling layer 1502 with a filling density of 85%~90%. The paraffin phase change range of the PCM phase change paraffin filling layer 1502 is 45-65℃. When the temperature exceeds 45℃, the paraffin undergoes a phase change and absorbs heat (latent heat ≥180kJ / kg). The copper-graphene housing can accelerate heat dissipation, keeping the temperature fluctuation range of connector 1 within ±3℃. The temperature sensor 13 adopts model W. The ZP-230 uses a PT100 platinum resistance thermometer, with temperature sensor 13 having an accuracy of ±0.15℃. This high-precision temperature sensor 13 can monitor the surface temperature of connector 1 in real time (range -50~200℃), and with the heat dissipation system, the temperature rise can be controlled below the 65K limit. Grounding cable 12 is fixedly connected to connector 1 via fixing bolts. Grounding cable 12 has a cross-sectional area ≥35mm², a grounding resistance ≤0.1Ω, and can effectively discharge fault current (≥31.5kA / 4s), meeting the requirements of IEC 62271-200 standard.

[0068] The integrated variable-diameter connection structure effectively solves the problem of insulator size matching between gas-filled switchgear with different rated currents. Its cylindrical connector has insertion holes of different inner diameters at both ends. Through the coordinated positioning of the limiting ring and flange, mechanical docking of high-current gas-filled switchgear (≥2000A) and low-current gas-filled switchgear (≤630A) is achieved. The sealing structure uses fluororubber parts with a Shore hardness of 70±5, ensuring an annual gas chamber leakage rate of ≤0.1% within a compression range of 20~30%. Simultaneously, the conductive structure uses graphene / carbon nanotube composite materials to stabilize the contact resistance below 10μΩ, avoiding the problems of increased contact resistance and excessive temperature rise caused by traditional transition switchgear.

[0069] The innovative integration of air pressure monitoring and a composite heat dissipation system significantly enhances the safety and reliability of the connection points. The combination design of the pipe joint and metal bellows enables real-time monitoring of the air chamber pressure, while the three-stage heat dissipation structure (aluminum alloy substrate + TEC module + PCM phase change layer) can control the connector temperature within the 45~65℃ phase change range. Combined with a temperature sensor with an accuracy of ±0.15℃, it effectively prevents the risks of partial discharge and overheating. Its mechanical strength meets the requirements of a 31.5kA / 4s short-circuit current impact, and the overall structure reduces the volume by more than 60% compared to traditional transition cabinets.
