Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of primary equipment in substations, and more particularly to a telescopic clamp for flexible busbars in substations. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the electrical fittings used in outdoor substations to connect flexible busbars to primary equipment such as high-voltage disconnect switches and circuit breakers are SLG type equipment clamps. The SLG type equipment clamp consists of two aluminum plates connected together. One side is a terminal block that connects to the flexible busbar, and the other side is a connecting plate. The connecting plate can be made of copper and aluminum plates and is connected to the equipment body.

The telescopic spring 3 is installed inside the telescopic inner tube 2. The watch strap finger 6 and the positioning pin 8 are installed on one side inside the telescopic outer tube 5. The positioning pin 8 is located on the outside of the watch strap finger 6. In other words, the watch strap finger 6 and the positioning pin 8 are installed between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5.

[0029] In practical applications, the telescopic tube assembly includes a telescopic inner tube 2 and a telescopic outer tube 5. The structures of the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5 are adapted to each other. The telescopic inner tube 2 is a tubular structure, and the telescopic outer tube 5 is a tubular structure. The cross-sections of the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5 include, but are not limited to, circles or squares. The outer diameter of the telescopic inner tube 2 does not exceed the inner diameter of the telescopic outer tube 5. The telescopic inner tube 2 is provided with a sliding groove 7. The telescopic inner tube 2 is slidably connected to the telescopic outer tube 5 through the sliding groove 7. The sliding of the telescopic inner tube 2 is controlled by the sliding groove 7. The distance of the sliding groove 7 is adapted to the length of the telescopic inner tube 2. The sliding groove 7 controls the telescopic distance between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5.

[0030] The telescopic clamp for substation flexible busbars provided by this invention can be installed at the connection between the high-voltage disconnector and the flexible busbar. It not only alleviates the problem of changes in the sag of the flexible busbar caused by foundation deformation, thereby reducing the number of unplanned outages of the substation, but also prevents overheating after long-term operation. Its expansion rate and rated current can be adjusted according to the actual conditions of different regions and substations.

[0031] This invention provides a telescopic clamp for substation flexible busbars, which can effectively reduce the sag of flexible busbars caused by foundation deformation of primary equipment in substations. It has a telescopic sliding function, ensuring that the sag of the flexible busbar remains within acceptable limits even when the foundation deforms. The working principle of this telescopic clamp for substation flexible busbars is described in detail below: In this embodiment, the internal connection of the telescopic clamp body 11 is a flexible busbar; In practical applications, the telescopic clamp body 11 includes a terminal plate 1, the inside of which is connected to a telescopic tube assembly, the other side of which is connected to the inside of a terminal block 4, a flexible busbar is installed inside the telescopic tube assembly, and the outside of the terminal plate 1 is connected to the outside of the terminal block 4 via a conductive strip.

[0032] In this embodiment, the telescopic tube assembly includes a telescopic inner tube 2 and a telescopic outer tube 5. The telescopic outer tube 5 is slidably connected to the outside of the telescopic inner tube 2. A telescopic spring 3 is installed between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5. A terminal plate 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic inner tube 2, and a wiring plate 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic outer tube 5.

[0033] In practical applications, the telescopic distance is the sliding distance between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5. The telescopic distance includes multiple distance states, namely a first distance state, a second distance state, and a variant distance state. The first distance state is a fixed distance, the second distance state is a fixed distance, and the variant distance state is a variable distance. The distance in the first distance state is greater than the distance in the second distance state, the distance in the variant distance state is less than the distance in the first distance state, and the distance in the variant distance state is greater than the distance in the second distance state.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first distance state is the maximum sliding distance between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5, and the length of the first distance state is the sum of the lengths of the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5; the second distance state is the minimum sliding distance between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5, and the length of the second distance state is either the length of the telescopic inner tube 2 or the length of the telescopic outer tube 5; the variant distance state is the varying sliding distance between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5, and the length of the variant distance state is between the length of the second distance state and the length of the first distance state.

[0035] In practical applications, the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5 are nested together, and a strap contact finger 6 is installed between the two tube walls. The strap contact finger 6 plays a conductive role before and after sliding, reducing the contact resistance before, during and after sliding. The outer side of the strap contact finger 6 is a positioning pin 8. The positioning pin 8 provides additional sag when the sag of the flexible busbar changes excessively, thus playing a limiting role. In addition, the connection between the terminal block 4 and the terminal block 1 is a flexible connection. A conductive strip is installed between the terminal block 4 and the terminal block 1. One end of the terminal block 4 is provided with a terminal block mounting hole 10, and one end of the terminal block 1 is provided with a terminal block mounting hole 9. A conductive strip is installed between the terminal block mounting hole 10 and the terminal block mounting hole 9. The conductive strip can prevent overheating when a large load current passes through, which is suitable for high current and high load conditions.

[0036] In this embodiment, the telescopic clamp body 11 can be a conventional SLG-3 equipment clamp, but is not limited to this equipment. The telescopic clamp body 11 can be designed according to the structure provided in this technical solution. It should be noted that the terminal block 4 of the telescopic clamp body 11 is connected to the flexible busbar. A telescopic tube assembly, namely the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5, is installed between the terminal block 4 and the terminal block 1 of the telescopic clamp body 11. A telescopic spring 3 is installed between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5. The telescopic tube assembly is controlled to extend and retract by the telescopic spring 3.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the telescopic tube assembly adopts a tubular structure with a circular cross-section, that is, the telescopic inner tube 2 is a circular tube and the telescopic outer tube 5 is a circular tube. The outer diameter of the telescopic inner tube 2 does not exceed the inner diameter of the telescopic outer tube 5. The distance of the sliding groove 7 on the outside of the telescopic inner tube 2 is equal to the length of the telescopic inner tube 2. That is, the telescopic distance between the telescopic inner tube 2 and the telescopic outer tube 5 is adjusted by the sliding groove 7.

[0038] In practical applications, this embodiment is installed at the connection between the high-voltage disconnector and the flexible busbar. After multiple experiments, it effectively alleviates the problem of changes in the sag of the flexible busbar caused by foundation deformation, thereby reducing the number of unplanned outages of the substation.

[0039] After multiple tests, the telescopic tube assembly provided in this embodiment has a telescopic inner tube 2 and a telescopic outer tube 5 with a telescopic expansion rate of not less than 30%. Furthermore, after observation and actual operation, this embodiment did not experience overheating after long-term operation. It should be noted that the expansion rate and rated current can be adjusted according to the actual conditions of different substations in different regions.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
