Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of distribution boxes, and particularly relates to a distribution box for a civil airport navigation station that can be quickly connected to a mobile generator. Background Technique

[0002] The navigation equipment of civil airports is crucial for the safe operation of airports. Its load classification is special-class power load. When both of the two ordinary mains power supplies that supply power to it lose power, it is necessary to connect a diesel (gasoline) generator to supply power to the navigation equipment.

[0003] At present, the distribution boxes on the market cannot be quickly connected to mobile diesel (gasoline) generators. When the ordinary mains power fails, experienced engineers are required to quickly remove the original distribution box lines and then connect the mobile generator lines. Since the backup battery power supply time of the navigation equipment is limited, the time for engineers to connect the mobile generator is short and the pressure is high, which is prone to operation errors, thus affecting the normal operation of the navigation equipment and even the normal operation of civil airports. When the ordinary mains power supply resumes normal power supply, engineers need to remove the lines of the mobile generator and then restore the original distribution box lines. Such repeated operations have a greater impact on the power supply lines and are prone to leaving potential safety hazards.

[0004] To solve the above problems, some airports additionally install one more distribution box for power switching, reducing the removal and restoration work of the distribution box lines during power switching. However, installing an additional distribution box not only increases the equipment investment but also increases the work difficulty of the operation and maintenance personnel. Once the additional distribution box fails, it will affect the normal power supply of the navigation equipment. Content of the Utility Model

[0042] Furthermore, the electrical interlock device can achieve the electrical interlock between the output power supply of the first incoming line circuit breaker 6 and the output power supply of the automatic transfer switch 9, avoiding the two-way power supply to the outgoing line circuit breaker 13 simultaneously.

[0043] Furthermore, the output cable of the outgoing line circuit breaker 13 leaves the box body 1 through the outgoing line cable hole 18.

[0044] The arrester backup protection device 11 and the arrester 12 are installed on the circuit breaker guide rail inside the box body.

[0045] Furthermore, the models of the arrester 12 and the arrester backup protection device 11 are determined according to the usage requirements of the distribution box, and the two should cooperate effectively to provide reliable lightning protection for the distribution box and the electrical equipment. The outgoing line circuit breaker installed on one side of the arrester 12 and the arrester backup protection device 11 determines the model and connection method, etc. according to the usage requirements of the distribution box.

[0046] The N busbar 14 is installed inside the box body 1 and is connected to the box body 1 through an insulating pad.

[0047] Furthermore, the N wire inside the distribution box is reliably connected to the N busbar 14 through a cable.

[0050] The working mode of the electrical system inside the distribution box in the embodiment is as follows, meeting the requirements that the special-class electrical load is supplied by two ordinary commercial power supplies and one mobile generator power supply:

[0051] ① When both of the two ordinary commercial power supplies are normal, the automatic transfer switch 9 outputs the main commercial power supply, and the downstream electrical equipment is supplied by the main commercial power supply.

[0052] ② When one of the ordinary commercial power supplies loses power, the automatic transfer switch 9 outputs the other commercial power supply, and the downstream electrical equipment is supplied by the other commercial power supply.

[0053] ③ When both of the two ordinary mains power supplies lose power, the engineer quickly inserts the male connector 5 of the quick access device into the female connector 4 of the quick access device, and then starts the mobile generator. The downstream electrical equipment is powered by the mobile generator.

[0054] ④ When the ordinary mains power supply returns to normal, the electrical interlock device 10 automatically (manually) cuts off the output power of the incoming line circuit breaker 6 and automatically (manually) inputs the output power of the automatic transfer switch 9. The system resumes working mode ① or ②.

[0055] In this embodiment, the quick access device enables the engineer to quickly, safely and simply connect the mobile generator and the distribution box in an emergency, reducing the operation pressure on the engineer and improving the reliability of the power supply for the special-class electrical load. The automatic transfer switch and the electrical interlock device realize the automatic switching between the two ordinary mains power supplies and the one mobile generator power supply for the special-class electrical load, reducing the removal and restoration work of the distribution box lines during power supply switching without adding an additional distribution box, and improving the safety and economy of the power supply for the special-class electrical load.
