Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breaker spring operating mechanisms, and particularly relates to an energy storage state indicating device for a circuit breaker spring operating mechanism. Background Art
[0002] High-voltage circuit breakers are electrical appliances with contacts. The opening and closing of the circuit are achieved through the opening and closing of the contacts. Therefore, a certain mechanical operating system must be relied on to complete. The mechanical operating device outside the circuit breaker body is called an operating mechanism. According to different energy forms, the operating mechanisms can be divided into manual operating mechanisms (CS), electromagnetic operating mechanisms (CD), spring operating mechanisms (CT), and motor operating mechanisms (CJ). In the voltage range of 126 - 252 kV, the spring operating mechanism has become the first choice of operating mechanism due to its advantages such as fast response.
[0003] The energy storage state indicating device is used to display the opening and closing states of the circuit breaker, facilitating maintenance personnel to understand the connection state of the circuit breaker and avoiding the risk of electric shock caused by live maintenance. For example, the patent document number CN116959928B discloses an energy storage opening and closing indication device and identification method for a circuit breaker spring operating mechanism. However, its energy storage state indicating device has a complex structure and is connected to the electromagnetic switch shaft. When the electromagnetic switch is damaged, it cannot be used continuously, increasing the frequency of maintenance and use. Therefore, we have designed a simple mechanical indicating device that is easy to install and maintain and has a long service life. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of the problems and deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an energy storage state indicating device for a circuit breaker spring operating mechanism.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] An energy storage state indicating device for a circuit breaker spring operating mechanism includes a frame, on which a ratchet drive assembly and a closing spring energy storage mechanism are connected. The ratchet drive assembly includes a ratchet and a ratchet shaft. The ratchet is driven by a motor through a transmission device to rotate. Its lower part is connected to and drives the closing spring energy storage mechanism to act, and its middle part is connected to one end of the ratchet shaft and drives it to rotate. The other end of the ratchet shaft is connected to a cam.
[0007] A push pin is fixedly connected to the outer end face of the cam. The push pin extends perpendicularly outward from the end face of the cam and is located outside the rotation center of the cam.
[0008] An indicating component is rotatably connected to the frame on the right side of the cam through a pin shaft. A return spring is connected to the indicating component at a position below and to the right of the pin shaft. And an indicating arrow is provided at the rightmost side of the indicating component. An energy storage state indicating plate is connected to the frame behind the right rear of the indicating arrow. The energy storage state indicating plate is provided with two state identification symbols, upper and lower.
[0009] When the cam is in the first state, the push pin is located on the side opposite to the indicating member, and the right end of the indicating member points to the first state identification symbol; when the cam is in the second state, the push pin is rotated to the side close to the indicating member and can push the indicating member to rotate in the direction opposite to its rotation direction, and the right end of the indicating member points to the second state identification symbol.
[0010] Specifically, the push pin can be a pin, which is fixed to the end of the cam by threaded connection. The return spring is a tension spring, and the energy storage state identification symbols are Chinese characters arranged vertically. Among them, the first state identification symbol is "energized", and the second state identification symbol is "not energized". English words or any other agreed symbols that can identify the energy storage state can also be used.
[0011] The pressing flange of the cam also just presses the trigger roller of the travel switch assembly, so that the motor is powered off. When the closing electromagnet is energized, the closing electromagnet push rod pushes the closing pawl, so that the energy storage holding pawl disengages, and the compressed closing spring releases energy, driving the ratchet to rotate, driving the ratchet shaft to rotate and driving the cam to rotate. When the energy release of the closing spring is completed, the cam continues to rotate clockwise, so that the pressing flange is separated from the trigger roller of the travel switch, and the travel switch is released.
[0012] According to a specific embodiment, the indicating member includes a connecting portion, a reset portion and an indicating portion connected in sequence;
[0013] The connecting portion is rotationally connected to the frame through a first connecting hole, and a driving portion is provided on the side facing the cam, and the driving portion extends to a position where it can be pushed by a pin shaft; the lower part of the reset portion is connected to the return spring; an indicating arrow is provided at the right end of the indicating portion.
[0014] Further, the width of the driving portion is smaller than the width of the connecting portion, and a right-angled notch facing upward is formed between the driving portion and the connecting portion. The connecting portion and the indicating portion are parallel front and back, and the indicating portion is located in the front, and the reset portion is vertically connected between the connecting portion and the indicating portion. The width of the indicating portion is smaller than the width of the reset portion, and the indicating arrow is a triangular arrow. The reset portion is connected to the upper end of the return spring through a second connecting hole below, and the lower end of the return spring is connected to the frame.
[0015] According to a specific embodiment, a counter is further provided on the frame above the indicating member, and is connected to the upper part of the indicating member through a counting spring. The upper end of the counting spring is connected to the counter, and the lower end is connected to the reset portion through a third connecting hole, where the third connecting hole is directly above the second connecting hole. The counter is used to count the number of energy storage times of the spring operating mechanism, which is convenient for the factory to check whether the requirements for the number of factory test times are met.
[0016] Working principle: After the motor is powered on, the ratchet is driven to rotate by the ratchet drive assembly. The ratchet drives the pull rod hinged to its lower part to reciprocate up and down, so that the closing spring is compressed for energy storage. While the ratchet rotates, it drives the ratchet shaft to rotate and drives the cam connected to it to rotate. When the closing spring energy storage is completed, the cam rotates clockwise to the position where the push pin contacts the driving part of the indicating component, and pushes the driving part to rotate counterclockwise. The arrow of the indicating part rotates counterclockwise to the "energy stored" position. When the cam continues to rotate clockwise driven by the ratchet shaft, the push pin disengages from the driving part of the indicating component, and the indicating component resets to the initial position, and the indicating arrow of the indicating part points to the "not energy stored" position. At the same time, the counting spring pulls the counter to complete one count, realizing the statistics of the energy storage state times.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0018] A push pin is arranged on the cam, and the indicating component is driven to rotate by pushing the push pin to drive the indicating component to rotate, so as to realize the indication switching between the "energy stored" and "not energy stored" states, which is convenient for prompting relevant personnel about the working state of the circuit breaker; moreover, the structure is simple and convenient for installation and maintenance; all mechanical components are adopted, and the service life is longer compared with the indicating device arranged on the electromagnetic element.
[0019] In addition, the energy storage times of the spring operating mechanism are counted through the counter, which is convenient for the factory to check whether the requirements for the number of factory test times are met. Description of the drawings
