Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an auxiliary ventilation device and method for SF6 circuit breaker maintenance, belonging to the field of SF6 circuit breaker maintenance technology. Background Technology
[0002] SF6 gas is widely used in high-voltage circuit breakers (SF6 circuit breakers) due to its excellent insulation and arc-extinguishing properties. However, during the regular maintenance, repair, or troubleshooting of circuit breakers, it is often necessary to completely purge the SF6 gas inside and replace it with fresh gas or dry air. This gas exchange process is a critical step and a safety prerequisite for maintenance operations, as the old gas may contain toxic decomposition products generated during operation or have excessive moisture content, threatening personnel health and equipment safety. Existing gas exchange methods mainly rely on natural gas diffusion or simple vacuuming / charging operations, which are passive and time-consuming. On the one hand, because the density of SF6 gas is much greater than that of air, the efficiency of natural venting or replacement is extremely low, resulting in a significant extension of the maintenance window and seriously affecting equipment availability. On the other hand, during the operation, maintenance personnel need to manually connect / disconnect the charging / draining pipelines multiple times, repeatedly open and close valves, and be exposed to the vicinity of the equipment for extended periods. This not only involves high labor intensity but also increases the risk of personnel being directly exposed to high concentrations of SF6 gas or its harmful decomposition products due to operational errors (such as valve leaks or pipeline detachment), posing serious safety hazards such as asphyxiation and poisoning. Meanwhile, inefficient ventilation may also result in residual harmful gases or air in the gas chamber, affecting the purity of newly introduced SF6 gas and the performance of the equipment.
[0003] Chinese patent applications CN201721505223, entitled "An Intelligent SF6 High-Voltage Circuit Breaker for Dehumidification and Gas Replenishment," and CN201811477835, entitled "An Automatic SF6 Gas Refilling System and Method for GIS Equipment," aim to reduce maintenance costs and labor intensity, and improve work efficiency and operational safety through intelligent processing. However, they do not solve the problem of positioning and clamping the arc-extinguishing chamber of the SF6 circuit breaker, which introduces operational risks to the handling of the SF6 circuit breaker; they also do not solve how to accurately connect the extraction gun and the filling gun to the arc-extinguishing chamber interface, do not eliminate the possibility of personnel coming into close contact with harmful gases, and do not create a closed and continuous operating environment, thus failing to fundamentally eliminate the risk of SF6 gas leakage or exposure to toxic decomposition products.
[0004] In summary, the main drawbacks of existing SF6 circuit breaker maintenance ventilation technology are low efficiency and high safety risks. There is a lack of dedicated auxiliary equipment capable of proactively, quickly, and thoroughly replacing the gas inside the circuit breaker while minimizing direct human intervention and exposure time. Summary of the Invention

A set of clamping assemblies is provided next to each second groove, which is used to clamp the outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber after the corresponding SF6 circuit breaker is lifted. Symmetrically arranged third grooves are formed on both sides of the upper plate of the second support frame. A first clamping sleeve and a second clamping sleeve are respectively installed in the two third grooves, and both the first and second clamping sleeves are engaged with the top of the arc-extinguishing chamber after the corresponding SF6 circuit breaker is lifted.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes two third cylinders symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the second groove. The piston rods of the third cylinders are arranged along the Y-axis. A concave plate is installed at the end of the piston rod of the third cylinder. The inner edge of the concave plate is an arc surface structure. The arc surface structure contacts and clamps the outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber of the SF6 circuit breaker after lifting.
[0012] Furthermore, the third groove is a double-layer slot structure, with a through hole at the bottom and a groove of arbitrary shape at the top. The maximum length of the groove is greater than the diameter of the through hole at the bottom. The outer walls of the first and second clamping cylinders are provided with sleeve plates that match the groove. The sleeve plates are installed in the groove at the top of the third groove and fastened with bolts to position the first and second clamping cylinders in their respective third grooves.
[0013] Further, the Y-axis moving assembly includes a Y-axis moving base, a first lead screw guide rail, and a second servo motor. The first and second mounting bases respectively mount corresponding first lead screw guide rails. The first lead screw guide rails are arranged along the Y-axis direction. A second servo motor for driving is mounted on the side of the first lead screw guide rail. The Y-axis moving base is slidably engaged with the first lead screw guide rail. The X-axis moving assembly includes an X-axis moving base, a second lead screw guide rail, and a third servo motor. The second lead screw guide rail is mounted on the side of the Y-axis moving base.

[0014] Furthermore, a right-angle bracket is installed on the Z-axis moving seat, a reference ring is installed at the bottom of the right-angle bracket, and a leak-proof cover is fitted at the bottom of the reference ring. The leak-proof cover has an inverted funnel-shaped structure, and the air extraction gun and the air inflation gun are arranged inside their respective leak-proof covers.
[0015] A ventilation method for SF6 circuit breakers, using the aforementioned auxiliary ventilation equipment for SF6 circuit breaker maintenance, comprises the following steps: Step 1) The lifting components located on both sides of the first support frame are respectively the air extraction station and the air filling station; place the two SF6 circuit breakers that need to be ventilated on the lifting components of the air extraction station and the air filling station respectively. Step 2) The lifting components of the extraction station and the charging station lift the corresponding SF6 circuit breakers respectively. The two SF6 circuit breakers enter the second grooves on both sides of the second support frame respectively. The outer walls of the arc-extinguishing chambers of the two SF6 circuit breakers are clamped by the clamping components of the corresponding group. The first clamp and the second clamp are respectively engaged with the top of the arc-extinguishing chamber of the SF6 circuit breaker in the extraction station and the charging station. Step 3) The extraction gun moves to the SF6 circuit breaker at the extraction station via the corresponding three-dimensional moving mechanism and connects to the gas nozzle interface of the SF6 circuit breaker to extract the gas from the SF6 circuit breaker. After the SF6 circuit breaker completes the extraction, the extraction gun moves out and resets. Step 4) The power mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate the second support frame together with the first and second clamps by 180 degrees. The positions of the two SF6 circuit breakers on the second support frame are switched. The SF6 circuit breaker after being evacuated is switched to the charging position. The charging gun moves to the SF6 circuit breaker at the charging position through the corresponding three-dimensional moving mechanism and connects to the gas nozzle interface of the SF6 circuit breaker to charge fresh SF6 gas into the SF6 circuit breaker. At the same time, the evacuation gun moves to the SF6 circuit breaker at the evacuation position through the corresponding three-dimensional moving mechanism and connects to the gas nozzle interface of the SF6 circuit breaker to extract the gas from the SF6 circuit breaker. Step 5) After the SF6 circuit breaker at the inflation station is fully inflated, the inflation gun is reset, the clamping assembly releases the SF6 circuit breaker, the lifting assembly descends and resets, and the SF6 circuit breaker is released from the first clamp by gravity and descends with the lifting assembly. The SF6 circuit breaker is removed through the first groove on the first support frame, and a new SF6 circuit breaker that needs to be ventilated is placed. The lifting assembly lifts the new SF6 circuit breaker, and the clamping assembly clamps the outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber of the SF6 circuit breaker. After the SF6 circuit breaker at the extraction station is ventilated, the extraction gun is removed and reset. Steps 4) and 5) are repeated to complete the ventilation of the SF6 circuit breaker.
[0016] This invention significantly improves the efficiency and safety of SF6 circuit breaker maintenance and ventilation through integrated mechanical structure and automated operation. Firstly, the equipment adopts a modular collaborative design: the lifting and clamping components, in conjunction with the first and second clamps, achieve rapid positioning and stable clamping of the circuit breaker's arc-extinguishing chamber, avoiding the risks of manual handling. Secondly, it features a unique three-axis linkage ventilation system (three-dimensional moving mechanism): through the precise coordination of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis moving components, the extraction and filling guns are automatically aligned with the arc-extinguishing chamber's gas nozzle interface, accurately completing gas replacement and significantly reducing operation time (to less than 1 / 3 of traditional manual operation), without requiring personnel to be in close contact with harmful gases throughout the process. Thirdly, an integrated safety protection mechanism: the rotating shaft drives the second support frame to rotate, combined with the through-slot of the loading plate guiding the gun body's movement, ensuring a sealed and continuous ventilation process and completely eliminating the risk of SF6 leakage or exposure of decomposition products. This invention replaces high-risk manual operations with mechanical automation, which not only ensures personnel safety but also improves air purity and maintenance efficiency. At the same time, it reduces the probability of equipment damage caused by operational errors, providing a highly reliable solution for power system operation and maintenance. Therefore, it has a very broad application prospect.
[0017] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: It completely replaces the high-risk manual operation mode with mechanical automation, which greatly ensures the safety of personnel, significantly improves the purity of air exchange and maintenance efficiency, and reduces the probability of equipment damage caused by human operation errors. It safely and efficiently completes the discharge, purification (if necessary) and filling of fresh gas / air of SF6 gas, reduces operational risks, ensures air exchange quality, and meets the strict requirements of modern power systems for the safety and speed of equipment maintenance.

[0044] A ventilation method for SF6 circuit breakers, using the aforementioned auxiliary ventilation equipment for SF6 circuit breaker maintenance, comprises the following steps: Step 1) The lifting components 3 located on both sides of the first support frame 2 are respectively the air extraction station and the air filling station; place the two SF6 circuit breakers that need to be ventilated on the lifting components 3 of the air extraction station and the air filling station respectively. Step 2) The lifting components 3 of the extraction station and the charging station respectively lift the corresponding SF6 circuit breaker. The two SF6 circuit breakers enter the second grooves 18 on both sides of the second support frame 5 respectively. The outer walls of the arc-extinguishing chambers of the two SF6 circuit breakers are clamped by the corresponding clamping components 6. The first clamping sleeve 7 and the second clamping sleeve 8 are respectively engaged with the top of the arc-extinguishing chamber of the SF6 circuit breaker in the extraction station and the charging station. Step 3) The extraction gun 14 moves to the SF6 circuit breaker at the extraction station via the corresponding three-dimensional moving mechanism 12 and connects to the gas nozzle interface of the SF6 circuit breaker to extract the gas from the SF6 circuit breaker. After the SF6 circuit breaker completes the extraction, the extraction gun 14 moves out and resets. Step 4) The power mechanism 13 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate the second support frame 5 together with the first clamp 7 and the second clamp 8 by 180 degrees. The positions of the two SF6 circuit breakers on the second support frame 5 are switched. The SF6 circuit breaker after being evacuated is switched to the gas filling position. The gas filling gun 15 moves to the SF6 circuit breaker at the gas filling position through the corresponding three-dimensional moving mechanism 12 and connects to the gas nozzle interface of the SF6 circuit breaker to fill the SF6 circuit breaker with fresh SF6 gas. At the same time, the gas extraction gun 14 moves to the SF6 circuit breaker at the gas extraction position through the corresponding three-dimensional moving mechanism 12 and connects to the gas nozzle interface of the SF6 circuit breaker to extract the gas from the SF6 circuit breaker. Step 5) After the SF6 circuit breaker at the inflation station is fully inflated, the inflation gun 15 resets, the clamping assembly 6 releases the SF6 circuit breaker, the lifting assembly 3 descends and resets, and the SF6 circuit breaker is released from the first clamp 7 by gravity and descends with the lifting assembly 3. The SF6 circuit breaker is removed through the first groove 17 on the first support frame 2, and a new SF6 circuit breaker that needs to be ventilated is placed. The lifting assembly 3 lifts the new SF6 circuit breaker, and the clamping assembly 6 clamps the outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber of the SF6 circuit breaker. After the SF6 circuit breaker at the extraction station is ventilated, the extraction gun 14 is removed and resets. Steps 4) and 5) are repeated to complete the ventilation of the SF6 circuit breaker.
