One type of outdoor high-voltage switch is to cover the vacuum interrupter with silicone rubber and then press it into the insulating cylinder to achieve high-voltage insulation capability and meet the mechanical and electrical performance parameter requirements of the vacuum switch.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the spacing j between the corrugation ridge with the maximum outer diameter at the large-diameter end and the adjacent corrugation ridges is greater than the spacing between the remaining adjacent corrugation ridges, and the spacing j is 4-8 mm.

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum interrupter 1 covering structure according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a vacuum interrupter 1 and a silicone rubber covering layer 2 covering the outside of the vacuum interrupter 1 .

[0025] The silicone rubber coating 2 is encapsulated on the outside of the substantially cylindrical vacuum interrupter 1. After the vacuum interrupter 1 is coated with the silicone rubber coating 2, it is placed in an insulating tube to achieve high-voltage insulation capability and meet the mechanical and electrical performance parameter requirements of the vacuum switch.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, the silicone rubber coating layer 2 has an upper skirt 22 and a main body covering portion 21 distributed along the axial direction; the top end of the upper skirt 22 extends inwardly to form a top skirt 221, and the top surface of the top skirt 221 is provided with 2-4 circumferentially distributed and mutually spaced protrusions 222 from the inside to the outside; the outer peripheral surface of the main body covering portion 21 is distributed along the axial direction with a plurality of mutually spaced ridges 211.

[0027] Among them, the multiple protrusions 222 arranged on the top skirt 221 can make the upper end surface of the silicone rubber pressed against the inner top surface of the insulating tube during installation. The multiple protrusions 222 are flattened, which increases the elasticity of the contact surface, reduces the stiffness and vibration when closing the switch, achieves better buffering, and reduces bounce; and the number of protrusions 222 should not be too many or too few. If there are more, the resistance becomes larger, and the upper end surface of the silicone rubber cannot stick to the inner surface of the insulating tube; if the number is less (only 1), the force is uneven and the buffering effect becomes worse. The corrugated ridges 211 arranged at several intervals on the main covering part 21 can make the whole formed by the covering vacuum arc chamber 1 elastically supported by the corrugated ridges 211 in the insulating tube, and can maintain more stability and effective fit with the inner wall of the insulating tube when subjected to shear external force, and can avoid leakage caused by poor force.

[0028] Regarding the structure of the ridge 211, it can be a continuous wave-like structure or a structure with parallel top and bottom surfaces to form a thickness. In the specific implementation process, the latter is preferred, and through the mutually spaced arrangement, the waves can have better freedom to release stress after being subjected to force.

[0029] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of each of the ridges 211 gradually increases from one end of the main body covering portion 21 close to the upper skirt 22 to the other end, so that the main body covering portion 21 has a cone-shaped structure as a whole.

[0030] In this way, the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber 1 formed by the coating can have a cone-shaped structure as a whole, so that it can be installed in matching with the inner wall of the insulating cylinder which also has a cone, so that it has better adaptability and can be more stable after installation.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to better adapt to the inner cavity of the insulating cylinder with a smaller taper, the conical structure makes the main body covering portion 21 have a taper of 1°-3° relative to the axial direction. The taper can also be understood as the angle between the connecting line formed by connecting the outer sides of each ridge 211 and the axial direction.

[0032] In order to improve the mobility of the corrugated ribs 211 when responding to sub-installation and external shearing force, the corrugated ribs 211 further have an outer end chamfer Re of 1-2 mm.

[0033] Meanwhile, the corrugated rib 211 also has a thickness k, and the thickness k is 2-4 mm.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the conical structure enables the main body covering portion 21 to have a small diameter end and a large diameter end, the minimum outer diameter Φb of the ridge 211 at the small diameter end is 80-100 mm, and the maximum outer diameter Φg of the ridge 211 at the outer diameter end is 90-110 mm.

[0035] Such a size arrangement of the corrugations 211 can make the vacuum interrupter 1 covered with the silicone rubber coating layer 2 better matched with the inner cavity of the insulating cylinder as a whole.

[0036] Furthermore, the spacing j between the ridge 211 with the maximum outer diameter at the large diameter end and the adjacent ridges 211 is greater than the spacing between the remaining adjacent ridges 211, and the spacing j is 4-8 mm.

[0037] In this way, by setting the interval j, this end does not match the insulating tube, thereby improving the fault tolerance of the silicone rubber shape.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to better protect the arc extinguishing chamber porcelain shell from excessive pressure, the thickness c of the main body covering portion 21 is 2-4 mm. If the thickness c is too small, the effect of protecting the arc extinguishing chamber porcelain shell from excessive pressure is not obvious.

[0039] At the same time, a chamfered arc Ra is provided between the upper skirt 22 and the top skirt 221, and the chamfered arc Ra is 5-7 mm. In this way, it can better match the corner of the top of the insulation tube and avoid interference with the inner wall of the insulation tube.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the ridge 211 , the height of the protrusion 222 of the top skirt 221 increases from the outside to the inside, and the cross-section of the protrusion 222 is a triangle.

[0041] The protrusion 222 with a triangular cross-section can have better support, and can achieve better support with its elasticity. In addition, through the incremental change in height from the outside to the inside, when the pressure is greater, it can be elastically supported through the protrusion 222 of smaller height on the outside, further reducing the stiffness and vibration when closing the switch, and achieving better buffering.

[0042] Specifically, two protrusions 222 are provided, and the height m of the protrusion 222 located on the inner side is 1-2 mm, and the height n of the protrusion 222 located on the outer side is 1.5-2.5 mm.

[0043] In order to protect the end cover of the vacuum interrupter 1 from shearing force, in the embodiment of the present application, the silicone rubber coating layer 2 also has a lower skirt 23 integral with the main body covering portion 21, and a contraction portion 231 extending inward from the bottom end of the lower skirt 23. Correspondingly, the contraction portion 231 also has a height h. A narrow corrugation ridge is also provided on the outer side of the lower skirt 23, which is flush with the corrugation ridge 211 of the maximum outer diameter at the bottom end of the main body covering portion 21 in the axial direction to connect with it.

[0044] Preferred embodiment:

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum arc chamber 1 covering structure of an embodiment of the present application includes the thickness c of the silicone of the main covering part 21, the minimum outer diameter Φb of the corrugated ridge 211 at the small diameter end, the outer diameter Φf of the lower large diameter end transitioned through the taper i, and then reaching the lower maximum outer diameter Φg through the interval j, the height m and height n of the two annular protrusions at the upper end, the chamfered arc Ra of the upper end surface, the thickness k of a single corrugated ridge 211 and the chamfered arc Re at the outer end, and the height h of the arc chamber end cover to protect it from shear force.

[0046] The above dimensions are respectively c=3mm, Φb=90mm, angle i=2°, Φf=96mm, j=6mm, Φg=98mm, height m=1.5mm, height n=2mm, Ra=R6mm, k=3mm, Re=R1.5mm.

[0047] Implementation principle: The setting of the two protrusions 222 can better achieve buffering when the switch is closed, reduce the closing bounce, and the setting of the size and shape a, b, c, e, f, g, i, j, k improves the matching with the insulating tube, reduces the pressure on the vacuum interrupter 1, the voltage resistance performance of the whole machine is better, and the closing bounce is smaller.

[0048] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention should be based on the scope defined by the claims. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
