Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of circuit breaker operating mechanisms, and specifically relates to a closing / opening delay mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, to meet the requirements of reclosing operations, precise control of the time from the closure of the circuit breaker contacts to the separation of the second contact is necessary; this is known as the "metal short-circuit time." Currently, the State Grid generally requires that the metal short-circuit time of high-voltage circuit breakers be reliably achieved by the circuit breaker itself, with a recommended time of 50ms. Existing solutions typically use auxiliary switching components for control, such as closing a pair of delayed contacts after the auxiliary switch has rotated 95°. However, this auxiliary switch control method suffers from problems such as the delay time being non-adjustable, having a small adjustment range, and being unstable. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems and overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a combination and separation delay mechanism. This invention can solve the problems of unadjustable and unstable delay time in the auxiliary switch control of metal short-circuit time in existing technologies.

[0012] Furthermore, the crank arm is provided with a spline hole, which is used to fit and fix it on the output spline shaft of the external output mechanism, so that the crank arm and the output spline shaft form a spline transmission connection. When the crank arm rotates, it drives the delay impact block to move through the connecting rod. The delay impact block is used to push the copper delay dial to disengage from the reset dial.

[0013] Furthermore, the copper delay block module also includes a torsion spring reset pin, a reset torsion spring, and a second shaft retaining ring.

Specifically, a first graphite bushing 12 is provided on the base 11, and one end of the time-delay drive shaft 16 is inserted into the first graphite bushing 12 for rotation. A coil spring 8 is connected to one end of the time-delay drive shaft 16, and a coil spring positioning groove 43 is provided on the time-delay drive shaft 16. One end of the coil spring 8 is fixed in the coil spring positioning groove 43 by a first retaining ring 7. A reset lever 22 is connected to the other end of the time-delay drive shaft 16 by a second fixing nut 24.

[0031] The copper delay switch module 51 includes a copper delay switch 39, and a reset switch 22 engages with the copper delay switch 39.

[0032] The time-delay impact block module 50 includes a time-delay impact block 32, which can contact the copper time-delay dial 39 to drive the copper time-delay dial 39 to disengage from the reset dial 22.

[0033] The outer circumferential surface of the time-delay drive shaft 16 is provided with a flat end face 44 and an arc surface 45. A magnetic blow-out micro switch 30 is fixed on the base 11 by a sixth screw 10. The guide wheel 31 of the magnetic blow-out micro switch 30 is used to contact the flat end face 44 or the arc surface 45. When the guide wheel 31 contacts the flat end face 44, the magnetic blow-out micro switch 30 is in the closed state; when the guide wheel 31 contacts the arc surface 45, the magnetic blow-out micro switch 30 is in the open state.

[0034] The delay mechanism also includes a spring sleeve 6, which is sleeved on the outside of the coil spring 8. An indicator plate 5, a fixing washer 2, and a pointer 3 are mounted on the spring sleeve 6. The pointer 3 is locked in place by a first fixing nut 1, and the indicator plate 5 is fixed to the base 11 by a first screw 4. The spring sleeve 6 can rotate to drive the coil spring 8 to store energy, and the delay time can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the spring sleeve 6.

[0035] The time-delay drive shaft 16 is also provided with a buffer boss 46, and a buffer rod 13 is provided in the buffer hole of the base 11. The buffer boss 46 can contact the buffer rod 13.

[0036] The time-delay impact block module 50 also includes a connecting rod 34 and a ball bearing 35. One end of the connecting rod 34 is connected to the time-delay impact block 32 via the ball bearing 35, a washer 36, an internal hexagonal guide screw 37, and a fourth screw 38. The other end of the connecting rod 34 is connected to the crank arm 26 via a pin 25 and a first shaft retaining ring 27. A third graphite bushing 33 is provided in the time-delay impact block 32, and the time-delay impact block 32 is fixed to the positioning plate 17 by a third retaining spring 21. The positioning plate 17 is fixed to the rear end of the base 11 by a second screw 9.

[0037] The crank arm 26 is provided with a spline hole 49, which is used to fit and fix it on the output spline shaft of the circuit breaker operating mechanism, so that the crank arm 26 and the output spline shaft form a spline drive connection. When the crank arm 26 rotates, it drives the time-delay impact block 32 to move through the connecting rod 34. The time-delay impact block 32 is used to push the copper time-delay lever 39 to disengage from the reset lever 22.

The copper delay block module 51 is fixed to the reset pin shaft 19 by a second fixing washer 20 and a second retaining ring 14. The reset torsion spring 18 is used to drive the copper delay block 39 to re-engage with the reset block 22.

[0039] The workflow of this organization is as follows: During energy storage, the rotating spring bushing 6 stores energy in the coil spring 8. During the closing action, the output spline shaft of the circuit breaker operating mechanism drives the crank arm 26 to rotate via a spline transmission connection. The crank arm 26, through the connecting rod 34, drives the delay impact block 32 to push open the copper delay lever 39, disengaging it from the reset lever 22. The reset lever 22, through the second fixing nut 24, drives the delay transmission shaft 16 to rotate, causing its flat end face 44 to contact the micro switch guide wheel 31. The micro switch closes, providing a delay signal. During the opening action, the output spline shaft rotates in the reverse direction, and the crank arm 26 rotates in the reverse direction. Under the action of the reset torsion spring 18, the copper delay lever 39 re-engages with the reset lever 22, the delay transmission shaft 16 rotates in the reverse direction, and its arc surface 45 contacts the guide wheel 31. The micro switch opens, and the mechanism resets.
