Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ring network cabinets, in particular to a safety protection mechanism for a ring network cabinet. Background Art
[0002] Ring main unit is a kind of high voltage electrical equipment, usually installed in a metal or non-metallic insulating cabinet, or as an assembled interval ring main unit. Its core part is composed of load switches and fuses, and it has the advantages of simple structure, small size and low cost.
[0003] At present, the ring network cabinet usually needs to be provided with a pressure relief structure inside so that the high pressure generated in the event of a fault can be discharged from the ring network cabinet. For example, Chinese patent CN214280492U discloses a ring network cabinet bottom plate pressure relief structure. When the pressure inside the ring network cabinet exceeds a certain value, the thin plate is easily broken to discharge the gas to prevent explosion. After the pressure is released, only the pressure relief plate needs to be replaced.
[0004] Another example is Chinese patent CN220421261U, which discloses a pressure relief structure for a ring network cabinet. When the air pressure in the air chamber is too high, the pressure breaks the nylon bolt on one side of the pressure relief cover. At this time, the pressure relief cover presses the second fixing seat upward, and through the cooperation between the structures, the pressure relief cover is fully opened until the pressure relief cover and the cabinet top plate are at 90 degrees, and the pressure relief is completed.
[0005] Although the above two pressure relief structures can complete the pressure relief in the ring network cabinet, the pressure relief method is that the pressure relief structure will only start to relieve pressure when the internal pressure of the ring network cabinet exceeds a certain pressure (that is, the dangerous value). If the pressure inside the cabinet has not reached the dangerous level, it means that the pressure relief structure cannot be triggered, which will cause the inside of the ring network cabinet to remain at a higher pressure level. At this time, if a secondary fault occurs inside the cabinet within a short period of time, especially an arc explosion or other fault that can sharply increase the pressure inside the cabinet, then the pressure level in the cabinet will increase instantaneously on the basis of the higher pressure, thereby reaching a level far exceeding the dangerous value. At this time, the destructive force caused by the pressure relief structure when it starts to relieve pressure is greater, and even more serious equipment damage or safety accidents may be caused.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0028] See also Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a safety protection mechanism of a ring network cabinet, including a cabinet top plate 1 of the ring network cabinet, and also including:
[0029] A pressure relief cover 3 is arranged at the pressure relief position on the top of the cabinet top plate 1, a connecting piece 2 is fixed on the top of the pressure relief cover 3, and one end of the connecting piece 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the cabinet top plate 1 through an axle seat;
[0030] A sliding groove 6 is provided inside the connecting member 2 and communicated with the bottom of the pressure relief cover 3. A sliding bar 7 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the sliding groove 6. A spring 12 is connected between the outer wall of the sliding bar 7 away from the shaft seat and the inner wall of the sliding groove 6. An external pressure relief hole 4 is provided on the top of the connecting member 2. An internal pressure relief hole 8 is provided inside the sliding bar 7.
[0031] A top block 5 is fixed on the top of the cabinet top plate 1, a wedge hole 10 is opened inside the top block 5, and a wedge block 9 is connected to the end of the sliding bar 7 away from the spring 12, and the wedge block 9 can be inserted into the wedge hole 10;
[0032] The unlocking component drives the sliding bar 7 to move away from the top block 5 according to the pressure in the ring network cabinet, and the moving distance of the sliding bar 7 is set in direct proportion to the pressure in the cabinet.
[0033] See also Figure 3 In normal use, the sliding bar 7 is inserted into the wedge hole 10 under the elastic force of the spring 12, locking the connector 2, so that the pressure relief cover 3 is installed at the pressure relief position of the cabinet top plate 1;
[0034] Then, when pressure is generated in the ring network cabinet, for example, the pressure increases due to a minor fault, the unlocking component drives the sliding bar 7 to move away from the top block 5, and controls the sliding distance of the sliding bar 7 according to the pressure in the cabinet. When the sliding bar 7 moves, the internal pressure relief hole 8 on it and the external pressure relief hole 4 on the connecting piece 2 are connected to form a connected pressure relief channel to release the air pressure generated in the ring cabinet. In this stage, the wedge block 9 on the sliding bar 7 is not separated from the wedge hole 10, that is, the air pressure generated in the ring network cabinet does not exceed the dangerous value. Therefore, only the pressure relief channel is needed to relieve the pressure inside, and there is no need to open the pressure relief cover 3. Then, as the air pressure in the ring network cabinet gradually decreases, the unlocking component group drives the sliding bar 7 to move in the opposite direction, and the wedge block 9 is completely reinserted into the wedge hole 10. In this way, the ring network cabinet is preventively relieved through the pressure relief channel, so that the ring network cabinet can be kept in a relatively normal pressure environment.
[0035] When a fault occurs inside the cabinet, especially an arc explosion or other fault that can sharply increase the pressure inside the cabinet, the pressure level inside the cabinet will increase instantly. At this time, the unlocking component will control the movement of the sliding bar 7 to completely disengage the wedge block 9 from the wedge hole 10, so as to release the locking effect on the connector 2. At this time, the pressure relief cover 3 will be pushed open under the action of the internal high pressure, so that the high pressure inside the cabinet can be quickly and routinely relieved, thereby avoiding major damage to the equipment;
[0036] In this way, the unlocking component is used to control the moving distance of the driving sliding bar 7 according to the pressure in the ring network cabinet, so that the pressure relief mode in the cabinet can be switched between preventive pressure relief and conventional pressure relief. Not only can the air pressure in the cabinet be released in time when it does not exceed the dangerous value, but the pressure relief cover 3 can also be opened in time to release the pressure when the air pressure exceeds the dangerous value, thereby avoiding the ring network cabinet being in a higher basic pressure environment, thereby further improving the safety performance.
[0037] In one of the more preferred embodiments, the unlocking component includes a built-in groove 13 opened at the bottom of the pressure relief cover 3 and connected to the sliding groove 6, and the inner wall of the built-in groove 13 is rotatably installed with a swing plate 15 and a gear 14 fixed to each other. The inner wall of the built-in groove 13 is also fixed with a fixed plate 16, and a fan-shaped air bag 17 is installed between the fixed plate 16 and the swing plate 15, and the fan-shaped air bag 17 is a closed air bag, and the side wall of the sliding bar 7 is also fixed with a rack 18 meshing with the gear 14.
[0038] When the fan-shaped airbag 17 is in the maximum expanded state, the air pressure in the fan-shaped airbag 17 is lower than the air pressure in the ring main unit under normal pressure.
[0039] For details on unlocking components, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 , since the fan-shaped airbag 17 is a closed airbag, and when the wedge block 9 is in the wedge hole 10, the fan-shaped airbag 17 is in the maximum open state, and at this time the air pressure in the fan-shaped airbag 17 is lower than the air pressure in the ring network cabinet, so it will have a tendency to shrink, but due to the elastic force of the spring 12 on the sliding bar 7, the sliding bar 7 is in a stationary state;
[0040] When the air pressure in the ring main unit increases, the fan-shaped airbag 17 will shrink due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the fan-shaped airbag 17, thereby driving the swing plate 15 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the gear 14 and the rack 18, the sliding bar 7 will overcome the elastic force of the spring 12 and move, so that the wedge block 9 is pulled out of the wedge hole 10, so as to achieve the purpose of preventive pressure relief mentioned above;
[0041] On the contrary, when the pressure in the cabinet decreases, under the elastic force of the spring 12, the sliding bar 7 will return to its original position and the fan-shaped airbag 17 will open again.
[0042] Since the contraction degree of the fan-shaped airbag 17 is related to the air pressure in the cabinet, whether the wedge block 9 can be completely separated from the wedge hole 10 is also related to the air pressure in the cabinet. In this way, the switching of the two pressure relief modes can be automatically controlled by utilizing the air pressure in the cabinet, thereby achieving the above-mentioned different pressure relief modes;
[0043] It is worth noting that the initial air pressure in the fan-shaped airbag 17 and the labor-saving lever method in which the swing plate 15 drives the gear 14 to rotate are both designed to enable the sliding bar 7 to move when the air pressure in the cabinet changes slightly, so as to increase the sensitivity of the sliding bar 7 to changes in the air pressure in the cabinet, thereby ensuring that the cabinet can be maintained in a basic air pressure environment.
[0044] Moreover, after the pressure relief cover 3 is opened, the sliding bar 7 will reset again after the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the fan-shaped airbag 17 is reduced. In this way, when the pressure relief cover 3 hits and swings back, the blocking of the wedge block 9 by the top block 5 can also prevent the pressure relief cover 3 from automatically resetting and locking.
[0045] In one of the more preferred embodiments, the inner top of the wedge hole 10 is set as an inclined surface, and the top of the wedge block 9 is set as an inclined surface adapted thereto.
[0046] By setting the inclined surface, when the wedge block 9 disengages outward, its bottom surface can be separated from the inner wall of the wedge hole 10, which can not only reduce the friction between the wedge hole 10 and the wedge block 9, but also allow the connector 2 to have a displacement that can open outward at a certain angle. In this way, by setting a gap between the pressure relief cover 3 and the pressure relief position, during the preventive pressure relief process, a certain gap can be generated between the pressure relief cover 3 and the pressure relief position, thereby further ensuring the release of pressure in the cabinet.
[0047] In one of the more preferred embodiments, a ball 11 is provided on the inclined surface at the top of the wedge block 9 , and the ball 11 is in rolling contact with the inclined surface at the top of the wedge hole 10 .
[0048] The friction between the two can be further reduced by the ball bearing 11, so that the movement and adjustment of the sliding bar 7 are more sensitive.
[0049] In one of the more preferred embodiments, the contact surfaces of the wedge block 9 and the wedge hole 10 are both smooth surfaces, and a lubricant is applied between the two.
[0050] Similarly, the friction between the wedge block 9 and the wedge hole 10 can also be reduced by providing a smooth surface.
[0051] In one of the more preferred embodiments, when the connecting member 2 is kept in a horizontal state, the top block 5 is embedded in the sliding groove 6 and contacts and abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove 6 .
[0052] The standard parts used in this embodiment can be purchased directly from the market, and the non-standard structural components recorded in the specification and the drawings can also be directly processed according to the existing technical common sense. At the same time, the connection method of each component adopts the mature conventional means in the prior art, and the machinery, parts and equipment all adopt the conventional models in the prior art, so no specific description will be given here.
[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
