Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of circuit breakers, and in particular to an outdoor circuit breaker with a closing holding function. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor circuit breakers are crucial equipment in power transmission projects. They are high-voltage switchgear adapted to complex outdoor conditions, capable of withstanding wind, rain, pollution, and temperature differences from -40℃ to 70℃. They are widely used in urban and rural 10kV and above overhead distribution lines. Outdoor circuit breakers incorporate vacuum interrupters for circuit on / off control. The moving contact within the vacuum interrupter is located on the lower side, connected to the on / off drive assembly via an insulating rod. Over time, wear and tear on the moving contact, drive assembly, and insulating rod can prevent sufficient contact between the moving and stationary contacts. This insufficient contact leads to an increase in the temperature of the vacuum interrupter, ultimately causing damage and unstable power transmission. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: An outdoor circuit breaker with closing and holding function includes a holding spring 1, a holding rod 2, a rotating rod 3, a push-pull rod 4, a transmission box 5, a transmission assembly, a vacuum circuit breaker assembly, and a drive assembly. The vacuum circuit breaker assembly is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the transmission box 5, and the drive assembly is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the transmission box 5. The transmission assembly is located inside the transmission box 5 and its input end is connected to the drive assembly. The output end of the transmission assembly is hinged to the upper end of the rotating rod 3. The lower end of the rotating rod 3 is hinged to the middle part of the holding rod 2. The lower end of the holding rod 2 is hinged to the transmission box 5. The upper end of the holding rod 2 is connected to the transmission box 5 through the holding spring 1.

The transmission box 5 has mounting brackets connected to the ground at both lower ends. One, two, or three sets of vacuum circuit breaker assemblies are mounted on both upper ends of the transmission box 5. The transmission assembly transmits power from the drive assembly to all vacuum circuit breaker assemblies. The vacuum circuit breaker assemblies transmit high-voltage electricity and control the switching on and off of the power transmission process. The drive assembly is fixed to the lower part of the transmission box 5 and provides power for the switching on and off of the vacuum circuit breaker assemblies. The transmission assembly transmits power from the drive assembly to the upper end of the rotating rod 3. The rotating rod 3 rotates around the hinge point at its lower end.

The holding spring 1 can be a tension spring or a compression spring, and it is vertically positioned. The retaining spring 1 moves the upper end of the retaining rod 2 upwards. When the vacuum circuit breaker assembly is in the closed state, the retaining spring 1 ensures that the moving contact and stationary contact in the vacuum circuit breaker assembly are in full contact, guaranteeing stability during high-voltage power transmission. The retaining spring 1, retaining rod 2, rotating rod 3, push-pull rod 4, and transmission assembly are housed in the transmission box 5 and protected by the transmission box 5.

[0020] In some embodiments, a retaining plate 6 is fixedly installed inside the transmission box 5, and a sliding rod 7 is slidably installed on the retaining plate 6.

The end conductive terminal 9 and the middle conductive terminal 10 are both sealed and fixed on the insulating cylinder component. The vacuum interrupter 11 is a device in the prior art and is sealed and fixed inside the insulating cylinder component. The stationary contact of the vacuum interrupter 11 is electrically connected to the end conductive terminal 9. The upper end of the conductive flexible connection plate 13 is electrically connected and fixed to the moving contact of the vacuum interrupter 11, and the lower end of the conductive flexible connection plate 13 is electrically connected and fixed to the middle conductive terminal 10. The insulating pull rod 12 is an insulating push-pull rod in the prior art. The upper end of the insulating pull rod 12 is connected to the stationary contact, and the lower end of the insulating pull rod 12 is hinged to the upper end of the push-pull rod 4. A guide sleeve is provided in the push-pull hole 14 on the transmission box 5. The lower end of the insulating pull rod 12 is slidably set in the guide sleeve, so that the insulating pull rod 12 can only move up and down in the guide sleeve and cannot swing.

[0022] In some embodiments, the insulating cylinder component includes an upper insulating cylinder 15, a lower insulating cylinder 16, a conductive cylinder 17, a guide rod 18, and a guide sleeve 19. The lower insulating cylinder 16 is sealed and fixedly mounted on the transmission box 5. The conductive cylinder 17 is sealed and coaxially fixedly mounted on the lower insulating cylinder 16. The middle conductive terminal 10 is sealed and fixedly mounted on the conductive cylinder 17. The upper insulating cylinder 15 is sealed and fixedly mounted on the middle conductive terminal 10. The end conductive terminal 9 is sealed and fixedly mounted on the upper end of the upper insulating cylinder 15. The lower end of the conductive flexible connection plate 13 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the conductive cylinder 17. The guide sleeve 19 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the conductive cylinder 17. The guide rod 18 is slidably mounted inside the guide sleeve 19. The guide rod 18 is connected between the moving contact and the insulating pull rod 12. The upper insulating cylinder 15, lower insulating cylinder 16, conductive cylinder 17, guide rod 18, and guide sleeve 19 are all coaxially arranged. The vacuum interrupter 11 is sealed inside the upper insulating cylinder 15. A sealing ring is provided between the end conductive terminal 9 and the upper end of the upper insulating cylinder 15, between the lower end of the upper insulating cylinder 15 and the middle conductive terminal 10, between the upper end of the conductive cylinder 17 and the middle conductive terminal 10, between the lower end of the conductive cylinder 17 and the upper end of the lower insulating cylinder 16, and between the lower end of the lower insulating cylinder 16 and the transmission box 5. The multiple sets of sealing rings effectively prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the insulating cylinder components, thus preventing leakage. The guide sleeve 19 guides the movement of the guide rod 18. The upper end of the guide rod 18 is threaded to the end of the stationary contact, or it can be hinged. The lower end of the guide rod 18 is threaded to the upper end of the insulating pull rod 12, or it can be hinged. The conductive cylinder 17 is used to fix and install the conductive flexible connection plate 13 and the guide sleeve 19. The conductive flexible connection plate 13 is disposed on the inner wall of the conductive cylinder 17, and the guide sleeve 19 is disposed on the inner wall of the conductive flexible connection plate 13. The guide sleeve 19 and the conductive flexible connection plate 13 are fixed to the inner wall of the conductive cylinder 17 by multiple sets of bolts. The moving contact is electrically connected to the central conductive terminal 10 through the conductive flexible connection plate 13 and the conductive cylinder 17.

[0023] In some embodiments, the conductive flexible connection plate 13 includes an upper conductive plate 20, a lower conductive plate 21, an upper C-shaped plate 22, and a lower C-shaped plate 23. The upper conductive plate 20 is electrically connected to the moving contact, and the lower conductive plate 21 is electrically connected to the conductive cylinder 17. The lower end of the upper conductive plate 20 and the upper end of the lower conductive plate 21 are electrically connected sequentially through the upper C-shaped plate 22 and the lower C-shaped plate 23, and the openings of the upper C-shaped plate 22 and the lower C-shaped plate 23 face opposite directions. The conductive flexible connection plate 13 is composed of four sections: the upper conductive plate 20, the lower conductive plate 21, the upper C-shaped plate 22, and the lower C-shaped plate 23. The upper conductive plate 20 and the lower conductive plate 21 both serve as a fixed connection. The upper C-shaped plate 22 and the lower C-shaped plate 23 work together to achieve expansion and contraction deformation. During the up-and-down movement of the moving contact of the vacuum interrupter 11, the upper C-shaped plate 22 and the lower C-shaped plate 23 expand and contract. This fixed connection method further ensures the stability of the power transmission process.

[0024] In some embodiments, a conductive ring 24 is sleeved on the moving contact. One end of the conductive ring 24 engages with a limiting protrusion 25 fixedly disposed on the moving contact. A locking nut 26 is threadedly connected to the moving contact and engages with the other end of the conductive ring 24. A spring plate 27 is disposed between the locking nut 26 and the conductive ring 24. A locking pressure plate 28 is disposed between the spring plate 27 and the conductive ring 24. The upper conductive plate 20 is electrically connected to the conductive ring 24. The conductive ring 24 is used to mount the conductive plate 20 and ensure full contact with the moving contact. To save costs and facilitate subsequent equipment maintenance, the moving contact and the conductive ring 24 are detachably connected. A limiting protrusion 25 limits the upper end of the conductive ring 24, which is then fixed by a locking nut 26. A spring plate 27 prevents the locking nut 26 from loosening elastically. The locking pressure plate 28 prevents the spring plate 27 from directly pressing on the conductive ring 24, and as a conductor, it also ensures full electrical contact between the moving contact and the conductive ring 24. Alternatively, the moving contact and the conductive ring 24 can be directly fixed together by welding.

[0025] In some embodiments, the conductive ring 24 is provided with an anti-detachment groove 29, and a bent plate 30 that mates with the anti-detachment groove 29 is fixedly provided on the end of the upper conductive plate 20. A bent spring plate 31 is fixedly provided on the conductive ring 24, and the upper conductive plate 20 is disposed between the bent spring plate 31 and the conductive ring 24. A fastening screw 32 passes through the bent spring plate 31 and the upper conductive plate 20 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the conductive ring 24. The anti-detachment groove 29 on the conductive ring 24 is used to install the upper conductive plate 20 and prevent the upper conductive plate 20 from loosening during the movement of the moving contact. The bent spring plate 31 is a conductive metal plate and has two functions: first, to prevent the upper conductive plate 20 from detaching from the anti-detachment groove 29; and second, to ensure sufficient electrical connection with the upper conductive plate 20 for conduction. The fastening screw 32 is used to fix the bent spring plate 31 and the upper conductive plate 20 to the conductive ring 24.

Two sets of parallel long pull rods 37 are positioned between the two first adjusting terminals 41 and the two second adjusting terminals 42. The drive assembly drives the main swing arm 33 to rotate around the first fixed shaft 39. The main swing arm 33 drives the first rotating rod 34 to rotate around the first fixed shaft 39. The first rotating rod 34, after passing through the first adjusting terminal 41, the long pull rods 37, and the second adjusting terminal 42, drives the second rotating rod 35 to rotate around the second fixed shaft 40. The second rotating rod 35 drives the auxiliary swing arm 36 to rotate around the second fixed shaft 40. The auxiliary swing arm 36 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate via the power rod 38.

The two ends of the power rod 38 are threadedly connected to the third adjustment terminal 45 and the fourth adjustment terminal 46, respectively, with the threads on the two ends of the power rod 38 having opposite helical directions. The third adjustment terminal 45 and the fourth adjustment terminal 46 facilitate the rotation adjustment of the rotating rod 3. Rotation of the rotating rod 3 adjusts the distance between the auxiliary swing arm 36 and the rotating rod 3, thereby better ensuring the conductivity of the vacuum interrupter 11 in the closed state.
