[0002] In the past about 15 years, the power grid has made remarkable progress in the construction of distribution automation. In large industrial parks in the urban or suburban areas of major cities, power supply is mainly based on cable lines, and cable lines usually form a grid through ring main units and switching substations. The currently used ring main units and switching substation equipment can be mainly divided into the following types: 1. Incoming line load switch plus outgoing line circuit breaker, mainly using a centralized DTU in cooperation with an outgoing line watchdog (panel-type FTU) to achieve distribution automation functions. The ring main units in Shandong Province were mainly installed before 2018; 2. All incoming and outgoing lines are circuit breakers. Before 2018, a centralized DTU was mainly used in cooperation with an outgoing line watchdog (panel-type FTU) or a microcomputer protection device to achieve distribution automation functions. After 2018, a distributed panel-type DTU or a primary-secondary integrated DTU is mainly used to achieve distribution automation functions; 3. Incoming line is a load switch and outgoing line is a combined electrical cabinet, mainly using a centralized DTU to achieve distribution automation functions. Most of the on-site equipment is old and renovated, and the outgoing lines generally do not have remote control functions.

[0030] Working principle: It can replace the existing panel-type FTUs, various microcomputer protection devices, and distributed DTUs one by one, or be installed in old ring main units and switchgear intervals. Cooperating with the latest State Grid standard for the integration of primary and secondary DTUs to achieve the three-remote functions of distribution automation. By transforming the ring main unit controller, the communication function of each automation terminal for forwarding data through an intermediate device can be directly removed, which can greatly reduce the problems of grid operation reliability caused by the failures of the automation equipment itself. The three-remote signals between the primary equipment and the integrated primary and secondary DTUs are built one by one through aviation plugs. At the same time, the function of local operation for each interval, the electrical interlock between local operation and remote operation, and intuitive opening and closing indicator lights are designed, meeting the relevant requirements of the distribution safety regulations for the operating mechanism. The transformation using the ring main unit controller is not restricted by the primary equipment manufacturers of the ring main unit and the secondary automation terminal manufacturers such as old FTUs and microcomputer protection devices. It is plug-and-play, and the live transformation construction is safe, convenient, with a short construction period, and the functions can be expanded. The box size and aviation plug type can be customized according to the on-site environment. By replacing the existing panel-type FTUs, microcomputer protection devices, and distributed DTUs one by one, or installing them in old ring main units and switchgear intervals, it can effectively reduce the operation instability problems caused by equipment aging. The new equipment meets the latest State Grid standard and realizes the three-remote functions of distribution automation through the integrated primary and secondary DTUs, ensuring the stability and reliability of the system. The transformation scheme of the ring main unit controller cancels the traditional communication method of forwarding data through an intermediate device and directly removes the redundant communication links of each automation terminal. This not only greatly reduces the possibility of communication failures but also reduces the problems of grid operation unreliability caused by the failures of the automation equipment itself. The newly designed ring main unit controller realizes the docking of the three-remote signals between the primary equipment and the integrated primary and secondary DTUs through aviation plugs, and designs the local operation function, electrical interlock mechanism, and intuitive opening and closing indicator lights to ensure the safety and intuitiveness of local and remote operations. This design meets the requirements of the distribution safety regulations for the operating mechanism and ensures the safety and convenience of operations. This transformation scheme is not restricted by the original primary equipment manufacturers of the ring main unit and the secondary automation terminal equipment manufacturers such as old FTUs and microcomputer protection devices, and has the characteristics of plug-and-play. During the construction process, no complex debugging is required, and the live transformation construction is safe, convenient, with a short construction period. At the same time, the box size and aviation plug type of the equipment can be customized according to the on-site environment, with high adaptability. The transformed ring main unit controller not only has the functions required currently but also reserves interfaces and design space for future function expansion, enabling the grid to quickly respond and upgrade corresponding functions when future technology upgrades and demand changes occur;
[0031] By covering the stainless - steel box cover 112 on the stainless - steel box body 111, the insertion rod 25 is inserted into the slot of the sleeve housing 26. During the insertion process, it will squeeze and push open the latch 23, causing the latch 23 to retract into the chute of the sleeve housing 26, and the spring member 24 will store energy and contract. When the insertion rod 25 is completely inserted into the slot of the sleeve housing 26, the spring member 24 will release the stored energy, causing the latch 23 to pop out. The latch 23 contacts the insertion rod 25 through the card slot and limits and locks the insertion rod 25. At this time, the stainless - steel box body 111 and the stainless - steel box cover 112 are connected. When it is necessary to open the stainless - steel box body 111 and the stainless - steel box cover 112, by pulling the pull - ring member 21, the cross - bar member 22 and the latch 23 can be pulled, and the spring member 24 will store energy and contract. The latch 23 releases the contact with the card slot of the insertion rod 25. At this time, the stainless - steel box cover 112 can be removed from the stainless - steel box body 111, completing the opening of the stainless - steel box assembly 11. The design of this connection component group 02 can improve the opening and closing efficiency of the stainless - steel box assembly 11. In actual use, when adjusting, installing, or maintaining the electronic equipment inside the stainless - steel box assembly 11, the work efficiency can be improved.
