DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features described in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] In the embodiments of the present invention, if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), they are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement status of the various components under a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0024] In addition, in this utility model, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The railcar limit switch of the embodiment of the present invention includes a limit switch static contact and a limit switch moving contact. The limit switch static contact and the limit switch moving contact are respectively arranged on the railcar and the track. In specific implementation, railcar limit switches are arranged at both ends of the railcar's movement stroke. This is to achieve timely disconnection of the motor hydraulic device after the high-voltage electric active contact and the low-voltage load-side moving contact of the dry-type transformer are connected with the high-voltage side static contact and the low-voltage load-side static contact. During maintenance, the dry-type transformer is disconnected from the power supply end and the load end, and the hydraulic drive of the dry-type transformer railcar device is pushed to the safe maintenance area and then the power supply of the hydraulic motor is quickly cut off to avoid overvoltage damage to the main electric contacts.
[0026] The limit switch's moving contact consists of an insulator tube and a petal contact. The limit switch's stationary contact includes a static contact, an insulating sleeve, an insulating head, and a pressure spring. The petal contact is mounted on the insulator tube and consists of two opposing halves. The static contact is located at the front end of the insulating sleeve, and the end of the insulating sleeve is connected to the insulating head via a pressure spring. The pressure spring provides cushioning and ensures full contact between the static contact and the petal contact. The static contact is preferably a copper circular contact.
[0027] As an embodiment, the limit switch moving contact further includes a fixed bracket, the insulator tube is arranged on the fixed bracket, the limit switch static contact further includes a base for installation on the track, and the insulating head is connected to the base.
[0028] As an implementation method, threads are provided on the outer circumference of the insulator tube, and corresponding threaded holes are provided on the fixing bracket. The insulator tube passes through the threaded holes and is screwed to the fixing bracket, making it convenient for users to adjust the front and rear positions of the petal contacts.
[0029] The insulator tube is equipped with an adjustment wrench for adjusting the petal contact position. The end of the adjustment wrench is equipped with a plug-in power extension rod to easily adjust the position of the moving contact.
[0030] As an embodiment, a control signal cable is provided in the insulator tube, which is connected to the two halves of the petal contact. The control signal cable adopts a four-core cable, which includes a positive core, a negative core, a ground core, and a spare core. The positive core and the negative core are connected to the two halves of the petal contact respectively. Please refer to Figure 3 The control signal cable is connected to the control circuit of the hydraulic mechanism motor on the dry-type transformer rail car to achieve effective limit control of the motor to ensure the safety of the electrical device.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 5 The dry-type transformer railcar device of the present invention includes a dry-type transformer railcar, rails, and a railcar limit switch. The dry-type transformer body is mounted on the dry-type transformer railcar, and rail wheels are located at the bottom of the dry-type transformer railcar. The rails facilitate pulling the dry-type transformer railcar out for inspection or replacement of the dry-type transformer body.
[0032] As one embodiment, the dry-type transformer railcar device also includes a dry-type transformer static side. The dry-type transformer railcar is equipped with a dry-type transformer high-voltage moving contact and a dry-type transformer low-voltage moving contact. The dry-type transformer static side is correspondingly equipped with a dry-type transformer high-voltage static contact and a dry-type transformer low-voltage static contact. The dry-type transformer high-voltage moving contact and the dry-type transformer low-voltage moving contact are arranged vertically. If the dry-type transformer requires maintenance, the dry-type transformer railcar is driven to separate and move, separating the dry-type transformer high-voltage moving contact from the dry-type transformer high-voltage static contact, and separating the dry-type transformer low-voltage moving contact from the dry-type transformer low-voltage static contact, thereby disconnecting the dry-type transformer from the power supply and load terminals. If the repaired dry-type transformer or a new dry-type transformer is required, the dry-type transformer railcar is driven to move, closing the dry-type transformer high-voltage moving contact with the dry-type transformer high-voltage static contact, and closing the dry-type transformer low-voltage moving contact with the dry-type transformer low-voltage static contact, thereby connecting the dry-type transformer to the power supply and load terminals.
[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
