AI Technical Summary
Existing GIL pipeline busbars are prone to axial deformation of the shell during thermal expansion and contraction, which leads to stress that threatens safe operation. Conventional sliding supports cannot effectively release stress.

The height of the sliding support plate is adjusted by a support adjustment screw. The slider contacts the sliding support plate, and the vertical limit clamp locks it. The sliding clamp flexibly contacts the outer wall of the GIL pipe to prevent excessive displacement. The slider is made of rigid polytetrafluoroethylene material containing carbon powder and the sliding support plate is made of stainless steel.
It effectively releases the stress of the GIL pipeline busbar during thermal expansion and contraction, prevents excessive displacement, improves safety, prevents eddy current formation through insulation design, and adapts to changes in the position of the GIL busbar.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a transverse sliding support for GIL pipeline busbars, and particularly to the field of power transmission pipeline technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, the demand for electricity is increasing. Large-scale hydropower stations and nuclear power plants have been built or are under construction. Due to terrain and environmental conditions or safety requirements, these power plants will use more GIL.
[0003] When using GIL (Gas Insulated Line) transmission pipelines over long distances, the axial deformation of the casing due to thermal expansion and contraction is significant. This stress poses a considerable threat to the safe operation of the GIL pipeline busbar. Angle-type expansion joints can compensate for this casing deformation, converting the axial displacement of the GIL on one side of a corner into lateral displacement on the other side. These angle-compensating expansion joints offer significant advantages over axial displacement compensation expansion joints; when internally inflated, they exert only a small load on the supports and foundation. However, conventional sliding supports typically only allow axial sliding between the GIL and the casing. To utilize angle-compensating expansion joints, a lateral sliding support for the GIL pipeline busbar must be used on the other side of the GIL corner. This support, connected to the GIL pipeline via sliding components, allows for lateral sliding to release the stress-induced deformation, which is crucial for the safe operation of the GIL. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a transverse sliding support for GIL pipeline busbars to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where thermal expansion and contraction of GIL pipeline busbars pose a significant threat to the safety of GIL pipeline busbars.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention discloses a transverse sliding support for GIL pipeline busbars, including a main support connected to the ground foundation. A detachable crossarm in the horizontal direction and a detachable column in the longitudinal direction are respectively combined with the main support by fasteners. The connection between the two is isolated by an insulating isolation component. A support adjustment screw is locked on the detachable crossarm by a nut, and its top is screwed into the threaded hole of the sliding support plate. The top of the sliding support plate contacts the slider. Two vertical limiting clamps lock the sliding support plate and the sliding clamp together.
[0006] Furthermore, the insulating barrier assembly is used to block eddy currents and prevent the formation of closed loops, and it includes an insulating bushing and insulating pads located on both sides thereon.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner side of the sliding clamp assembly has a rubber pad for resilient contact and binding with the outer wall of the GIL pipe, which includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp connected by fasteners.
[0008] Furthermore, the combination of the sliding support plate and the slider serves to support the weight of the GIL cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower clamp and the sliding support plate are locked together by a vertical limiting clamp to prevent the GIL cylinder from displacing excessively in the vertical direction, while also serving as a lateral limit position limiting function.
[0010] Furthermore, the slider is made of rigid polytetrafluoroethylene containing carbon powder, and the surface of the sliding support plate is made of stainless steel.
[0011] Furthermore, the main support is a detachable and modular type, and is welded from profiles.
[0012] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: after the vertical clamp plate vertically limits the sliding clamp assembly and the sliding support plate, the slider and the sliding support plate always remain in contact when the GIL busbar slides laterally. By adjusting the height of the support screw, the sliding support plate can follow the position change of the GIL busbar. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0016] Example 1 like Figure 1-4As shown, a horizontal sliding support for a GIL pipeline busbar includes a main support 1, which is connected to the foundation of the ground. A detachable crossarm 2 is arranged horizontally and a detachable column 3 is arranged vertically, which are respectively combined with the main support 1 by fasteners. The connection between the two is isolated by an insulating isolation component 8. A support adjustment screw 4 is locked on the detachable crossarm 2 by a nut, and its top is screwed into the threaded hole of the sliding support plate 5. The top of the sliding support plate 5 contacts the slider 6. Two vertical limiting clamps 7 lock the sliding support plate 5 and the sliding clamp combination 9.
[0017] The insulating isolation assembly 8 is used to block eddy currents and prevent the formation of closed loops. It includes an insulating bushing and insulating pads located on both sides thereon.
[0018] The inner side of the sliding clamp assembly 9 has a rubber pad for tough contact and bonding with the outer wall of the GIL pipe, and includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp connected by fasteners.
[0019] The combination of sliding support plate 5 and slider 6 serves to support the weight of the GIL cylinder.
[0020] The lower clamp and sliding support plate 5 are locked together by a vertical limiting clamp 7 to prevent the GIL cylinder from displacing excessively in the vertical direction, while also serving as a lateral limit position limiting function.
[0021] The slider 6 is made of hard polytetrafluoroethylene containing carbon powder, and the surface of the sliding support plate 5 is made of stainless steel.
[0022] The main support 1 is a detachable and assembled type, which is welded from profiles.
[0023] Working process: The GIL busbar passes through the main support 1. The detachable crossarm 2 and detachable column 3 are isolated by the insulating isolation component 8 to prevent the formation of a closed loop that causes eddy currents. The support adjustment screw 4 adjusts the height of the sliding support plate 5 to adapt to changes in the center height of the GIL busbar caused by external factors. The vertical limit clamp 7 ensures the contact between the GIL busbar, the sliding support clamp 9 and the sliding support plate 5 and the slider 6, and at the same time plays a limit role in lateral displacement.
[0024] When the sliding clamp assembly 9 moves laterally, there is enough space on both sides to fully absorb the conversion of axial displacement on the other side of the GIL corner.
