Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of production and processing of disconnectors, and particularly relates to a grounding knife tube assembly of a low-cost disconnector with efficient electrical contact. Background Art

[0002] The disconnector is one of the most used high-voltage switch appliances. As the name implies, it plays an isolation role in the circuit. Its working principle and structure are relatively simple. However, due to its large usage and high requirement for working reliability, it has a great impact on the design, construction and safe operation of substations and power plants. The main feature of the knife switch is that it has no arc extinguishing ability and can only switch the circuit on and off without load current.

[0003] The grounding knife tube assembly, which is a key component of the disconnector, is usually designed as a circular tube. To ensure the contact performance of its head, it is required to silver-plate the entire circumference of the head of the grounding knife tube. In actual use, only the two sides of the head of the grounding knife tube are in contact with the grounding knife finger contacts, and silver plating at the remaining positions causes waste and cannot be utilized. To save materials, only the contact positions on both sides of the grounding knife tube are silver-plated. However, when the processed grounding knife tube is sent to a professional testing institution for testing, it is found to be unqualified because the equipment of the testing institution cannot distinguish the silver-plated positions. Sometimes, the detected contact positions are the positions without silver plating, resulting in unqualified products and unable to effectively solve the problem of silver plating waste. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a grounding knife tube assembly of a low-cost disconnector with efficient electrical contact, which has a clever design and a reasonable and compact structure. By designing the head of the grounding knife tube to be oblate, only the relatively wide two sides need to be silver-plated, thus saving the silver plating cost.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A grounding knife tube assembly of a low-cost disconnector with efficient electrical contact, which comprises a conductive tube body, an oblate end portion, and a silver-plated portion. The conductive tube body is set as a circular tube, the upper end of the conductive tube body is set as the oblate end portion, and the two relatively narrow and contact positions on both sides of the oblate end portion are respectively provided with a silver-plated portion.

[0007] The silver-plated portion is a strip-shaped arc-shaped coating, the arc-shaped width of the coating is 8 mm, the length of the coating is 60 mm, and the thickness of the coating is 20 μm.

[0008] The lower end of the conductive tube body is designed with a mounting hole.

[0015] Step 3: Remove the oxide layer from the parts on both sides of the flat circular end for silver plating, and seal the non-silver-plated parts with glue.

[0016] Step 4: Silver-plate the silver-plated parts in Step 3.

[0017] Step 5: After silver plating is completed, remove the glued parts; then tin-plate the lower end of the conductive tube body.

[0018] During the cold pressing forming, an extrusion die is used to extrude the upper end of the conductive tube body. The extrusion die includes a lower die and an upper die. In the middle of the upper surface of the lower die, a rectangular groove is opened. One side of the rectangular groove is designed with an opening. The depth of the edge of the rectangular groove is 8 mm, and the bottom of the rectangular groove is designed with an arc-shaped groove bottom; in the middle of the lower surface of the upper die, an arc-shaped groove is designed.

[0019] The advantages of the present utility model are ingenious design, reasonable and compact structure. By flattening the head of the grounding knife tube and designing it into a flat circular end, it has obvious recognition. The silver-plated parts on both sides are locally silver-plated, saving the amount of silver plating; when the silver-plated parts on both sides are in contact with the grounding knife finger, it is in a line contact mode, which will not cause problems of virtual connection or local heating, and the qualified rate detected by the detection mechanism meets the standard.

[0027] Referring to the attached Figures 1-7 A grounding knife tube assembly of a low-cost disconnector with efficient electrical contact, which includes a conductive tube body 1, an oval end 2, and a silver-plated part 3. The conductive tube body 1 is set as a circular tube, the upper end of the conductive tube body 1 is set as an oval end 2, and silver-plated parts 3 are respectively set at the relatively narrow and contacting positions on both sides of the oval end 2.

[0028] The silver-plated part 3 is a strip-shaped arc-shaped coating. The arc-shaped width of the coating is 8 mm, the length of the coating is 60 mm, and the thickness of the coating is 20 μm.

[0029] An installation hole is designed at the lower end of the conductive tube body 1.

[0030] A 10-μm tin-plated layer 4 is plated within a length range of 80 mm at the lower end of the conductive tube body 1. Tin plating can improve the conductivity.

[0032] The conductive tube body 1 is a drawn aluminum tube or a copper tube with surface anodic oxidation treatment.

[0033] A processing technology for the grounding knife tube assembly of a low-cost disconnector with efficient electrical contact. According to the above-mentioned processing technology for the grounding knife tube assembly of a low-cost disconnector with efficient electrical contact,

[0034] Step 1: Select the conductive tube body 1, and perform anodic oxidation treatment on the entire conductive tube body 1;

[0035] Step 2: Perform drilling on the lower end of the conductive tube body 1, and form the oval end 2 at the upper end of the conductive tube body 1 by cold pressing;

[0036] Step 3: Remove the oxide layer at the positions of the silver-plated parts 3 on both sides of the oval end 2, and seal the non-silver-plated parts 3 with glue;

[0037] Step 4: Silver plate the silver plating part 3 in Step 3.

[0038] Step 5: After silver plating is completed, remove the potting part; then tin plate the lower end of the conductive tube body 1.

[0039] During cold pressing and forming, an extrusion die is used to perform extrusion processing on the upper end of the conductive tube body 1. The extrusion die includes a lower die 11 and an upper die 12. In the middle of the upper surface of the lower die 11, a rectangular groove 111 is opened. On one side of the rectangular groove 111, an opening 112 is designed.
