Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ring main unit technology, and in particular to a gas-insulated, fully enclosed ring main unit self-heating system. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-insulated fully enclosed ring main units (RMMs) are core equipment in power distribution networks and are widely used in substations at load centers such as urban residential areas, large public buildings, and factories. They are filled with insulating gases such as SF6 to ensure insulation performance under high-voltage environments and must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of toxic gases or moisture intrusion. However, the electrical components inside the RMM continuously generate heat during operation. If heat accumulates and the temperature becomes too high, it will not only reduce the insulation performance of the SF6 gas but also increase the risk of electrical short circuits, mechanical jamming, and other faults. In severe cases, it can lead to power outages, directly threatening the stable operation of the power grid. Therefore, a self-cooling system for gas-insulated fully enclosed RMMs is used. To address this, patent CN214706802U discloses a heat dissipation device for a gas-insulated switchgear and a heat dissipation system for gas-insulated switchgear. The heat dissipation device is installed on the gas box of the gas-insulated switchgear. The gas box contains multiple reinforcing ribs, which are tubular structures. These reinforcing ribs are connected in series via pipe assemblies to form a fluid circulation heat dissipation structure. The two ends of this fluid circulation heat dissipation structure are respectively provided with a fluid outlet pipe and a fluid inlet pipe. The heat dissipation system for the gas-insulated switchgear includes multiple gas boxes, each equipped with a heat dissipation device. The fluid circulation heat dissipation structures on the multiple gas boxes are connected by inter-box connecting pipes. The internal pipes of this invention also function as reinforcing ribs, reducing the cost of the heat dissipation device. This heat dissipation device significantly improves the heat dissipation efficiency of gas-insulated switchgear without affecting the gas box's sealing performance or increasing costs. The aforementioned gas insulation cabinet heat dissipation device utilizes the existing side wall reinforcing ribs inside the gas box as pipes and connects each pipe through external connecting fittings to form an external circulating heat dissipation system that allows the flow of low-temperature fluid to quickly remove heat from the gas box and its interior. However, when high-temperature gas encounters low-temperature pipes, water droplets easily condense on the outer wall of the pipes, causing short circuits between electronic components inside the gas box and resulting in low safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gas-insulated, fully enclosed ring main unit self-heating system to solve the defects of existing gas-insulated, fully enclosed ring main unit self-heating systems, such as easy condensation and low safety.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a gas-insulated fully enclosed ring main unit self-heating system, including a cabinet; A back cover is fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet, and a cabinet door is hinged to the other side of the cabinet. A panel is fixed inside the cabinet on the side near the cabinet door. A heat-conducting plate is fixed on the inner wall of the rear cover, and a sealing structure is provided on the outer side of the heat-conducting plate; A heat dissipation structure is fixed on the side of the heat-conducting plate away from the back cover. The heat dissipation structure includes a thermoelectric cooler fixed to one side of the heat-conducting plate. A flow guide plate is uniformly fixed on one side of the thermoelectric cooler. A collection box is fixed at the bottom of one side of the thermoelectric cooler. An isolation plate is provided on one side of the flow guide plate above the collection box. A fixing post is uniformly fixed on one side of the isolation plate.

[0005] This device uses a heat dissipation structure to rapidly cool the heat inside the cabinet, while simultaneously isolating and collecting the water droplets generated during rapid cooling. This prevents water droplets from contacting electronic components and causing short circuits, thus improving the safety of the device during use. The sealing structure enhances the seal between the back cover and the cabinet. The cabinet is filled with insulating gas, which increases the internal air pressure. The compression of the first air chamber forces the gas inside the first air chamber into the second air chamber through the connecting hole, causing the sealing strip to expand and increasing the contact area between the sealing strip and the cabinet, further enhancing the sealing performance of the device.

[0006] Preferably, an air inlet pipe is fixed to one side of the top of the cabinet, an inlet cable is uniformly fixed to one side of the top of the cabinet, and heat dissipation fins are uniformly fixed to the outer wall of the rear cover.

[0007] Preferably, the cabinet door has observation windows evenly spaced inside, and each observation window has a glass plate fixed inside.

[0008] Preferably, an instrument panel is uniformly fixedly installed on one side of the panel, and the instrument panel is located in the middle of the observation window.

[0009] Preferably, the flow guide plates are evenly distributed in an inverted "8" shape on one side of the semiconductor cooling chip, and one end of the fixing post is fixedly connected to one side of the semiconductor cooling chip.

[0010] Preferably, a water inlet is provided on one side of the top of the collection box, and a drain pipe is fixed on one side of the collection box.

[0011] Preferably, the water inlet is located below the lowest point of the diversion plate, and one end of the drain pipe extends to the outside of the cabinet.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing structure includes a sealing strip disposed on the outside of the heat-conducting plate, a first air chamber is disposed on one side of the inside of the sealing strip, a second air chamber is disposed on the other side of the inside of the sealing strip, and connecting holes are uniformly disposed on one side of the second air chamber inside the sealing strip.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the sealing strip abuts against the inner wall of the cabinet, and the second air cavity is located on the outer side of the heat-conducting plate.

[0014] Preferably, one end of the connecting hole extends into the interior of the first air chamber, and the first air chamber and the second air chamber are connected through the connecting hole.

[0015] The present invention provides a gas-insulated, fully enclosed ring main unit self-heating system, the advantages of which are: By incorporating a heat dissipation structure, the thermoelectric cooler is connected to an external power supply. The side of the thermoelectric cooler closest to the heat sink plate is cooled, and the heat inside the cabinet is rapidly reduced by the heat sink plate. The heat generated on the other side of the thermoelectric cooler is transferred to the rear cover through a heat conduction plate, where it is rapidly dissipated by the heat dissipation fins on the outer wall of the rear cover. Under the isolation of the isolation plate, the water droplets condensed on the surface of the heat sink plate will drip into the inside of the collection box through the water inlet. The water inside the collection box can be drained periodically through the drain pipe to prevent water from contacting electronic components and causing short circuits. This improves the safety of the gas-insulated fully enclosed ring main unit's self-heating system during use. By setting a sealing structure, the sealing strip is snapped onto the outside of the heat-conducting plate, and the back cover is fixed to one side of the cabinet by bolts. Under the action of the sealing strip, the sealing between the back cover and the cabinet is enhanced. Furthermore, insulating gas is injected into the cabinet through the air inlet pipe, increasing the air pressure inside the cabinet. The first air chamber is compressed, causing the gas inside the first air chamber to enter the second air chamber through the connecting hole. Under the expansion of the second air chamber, the sealing between the cabinet and the heat-conducting plate is enhanced, thereby improving the safety of the gas-insulated fully enclosed ring main unit self-heating system during use.

[0021] The sealing strip 61 is snapped onto the outside of the heat-conducting plate 21, and the back cover 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet 1 by bolts.
