Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric power maintenance, and in particular relates to a rocker operating tool for a grounding knife switch. Background Art

[0002] High and low voltage switchgear is one of the main equipment in the distribution room. Daily operation and maintenance mainly include inspection of the working status of the switchgear, opening and closing operations of the circuit breaker, and rocking in and out of the switchgear drawers. The maintenance operation of the trolley-type circuit breaker requires pulling the trolley circuit breaker out of the high-voltage switchgear.

[0003] A grounding knife, or earthing knife switch, is a safety interlock installed in high-voltage switchgear to replace the grounding wire. In accordance with the "five-protection" requirements, the grounding knife can only be closed during equipment maintenance, or when the circuit breaker and disconnector are disconnected. It acts like a grounding wire. During normal operation, the grounding knife must be open, and the equipment is typically equipped with a mechanical interlock. When the circuit breaker is closed, the grounding knife cannot be closed; similarly, when the grounding knife is closed, the high-voltage circuit breaker cannot be closed.

[0004] During daily operation and maintenance, inspection robots are used to assist in operations, and simple knob operations and ground knife switch handle operations are performed. The robot's working performance is relatively simple, and the switch cabinet ground knife operating joystick in the switch room has a protective tongue. Therefore, when operating, the protective tongue must be opened first to expose the operating hole before the joystick can be inserted for rotation. It can be seen that during the operation, multiple actions need to be coordinated simultaneously to perform the operation, but the existing robots cannot realize complex multi-action operations and more functional applications.

[0007] In one achievable manner, the tongue pressing mechanism further includes an upper pressing plate fixed on the mounting bracket, wherein the upper pressing plate is supported on the switch cabinet body to provide support for the lower pressing plate to press down the protective tongue.

[0008] In one achievable manner, the pressing drive element is an electric push rod, and the lower pressing plate is fixed on the electric push rod.

[0009] In one feasible embodiment, the pressing drive element is a stepper motor, which is installed on the mounting bracket. The main shaft of the stepper motor is connected to the screw rod, and the lower pressure plate is provided with a threaded hole threadedly connected to the screw rod; a guide rod is also provided between the mounting bracket and the lower pressure plate.

[0013] In one feasible manner, a knife switch positioning sleeve is further provided at the front end of the motor sleeve, and the rotating sleeve is coaxially sleeved in the knife switch positioning sleeve and extends out of the knife switch positioning sleeve.

[0014] In one feasible manner, the knife switch positioning sleeve is fixed to the motor sleeve via a mounting plate.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the grounding knife switch rocker operating tool provided by this utility model has the following advantages: the lower pressure plate of the tongue pressing mechanism first presses the protective tongue downward until the operating hole is exposed. Then, a rotating sleeve is inserted into the rocker of the knife switch, and the rotary motor is started to rock the rocker to close the grounding knife switch.

When the rocker operation is completed, the mechanical arm drives the entire tool away from the switch cabinet, and the lower pressure plate moves away from the protective tongue. The protective tongue elastically resets to continue covering the operating hole, preventing misoperation. This operating tool can realize the functions of opening the protective tongue and rotating the rocker, simplifying the operation process and avoiding safety hazards caused by human interference.

The mounting bracket 14 is connected to the motor sleeve 1 via a fixing base 4.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the rocker operating tool for the grounding knife switch provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the lower pressure plate 9 of the tongue pressing mechanism first presses the protective tongue downward until the operating hole is exposed, and then the rotating sleeve 10 is inserted into the rocker of the knife switch. The rocker can be shaken by starting the rotary motor to close the grounding knife switch. During the process of rotating the rocker by the rotating sleeve 10, the lower pressure plate 9 will continue to press the protective tongue. When the rocker operation is completed, the mechanical arm drives the entire tool away from the switch cabinet, and the lower pressure plate 9 leaves the protective tongue. The protective tongue can be elastically reset to continue covering the operating hole, avoiding misoperation. This operating tool can realize the functions of opening the protective tongue and rotating the rocker, simplifying the operation process, shortening the operation time, and avoiding safety hazards caused by human interference.

[0029] The rear end of the rotating sleeve 10 is equipped with a connecting sleeve, which connects to the rotating motor via a coupling. Optionally, the coupling is an HPJM-RE80-110-PRO-XX joint module. The front end of the rotating sleeve 10 is equipped with a rectangular, hexagonal, or cross-shaped hole for the rocker.

[0030] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the tongue pressing mechanism also includes an upper pressing plate 7 fixed to a mounting bracket 14. The upper pressing plate 7 is supported on the switch cabinet body and provides support for the lower pressing plate 9 to press down on the protective tongue. Two upper pressing plates 7 are provided, forming a stable support. Specifically, the upper pressing plate 7 is formed by bending a single plate into two upper pressing tongues.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the pressing drive element 13 is an electric push rod, and the lower pressing plate 9 is fixed on the electric push rod. When the upper pressing plate 7 is supported on the step of the switch cabinet body, the electric push rod extends downward, pushing the lower pressing plate 9 downward to press the protective tongue until the operating hole of the knife switch is exposed.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the pressing drive element 13 is a stepper motor mounted on a mounting bracket 14. The stepper motor's main shaft is connected to a screw 15. The lower pressing plate 9 is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection to the screw 15. A guide rod 8 is also provided between the mounting bracket 14 and the lower pressing plate 9. Optionally, the stepper motor is 42N260-2-2.5-4-130-002. When the stepper motor is activated, it rotates the screw 15, thereby driving the threaded lower pressing plate 9 in linear motion. The guide rod 8 guides the lower pressing plate 9 as it is raised and lowered.

[0033] Specifically, a limiting nut is provided at the lower end of the screw rod 15, and the limiting nut forms a radial limit with the screw rod 15 through a locking screw or a pin; the limiting nut can prevent the lower pressure plate 9 from falling off from the screw rod 15; an upper limit sleeve is provided at the upper end of the guide rod 8, and a lower limit sleeve is provided at the lower end. The upper limit sleeve supports the guide rod 8 on the mounting bracket 14, and the lower limit sleeve has a lower limit function on the lower pressure plate 9.

[0034] The lower pressing plate 9 includes a connecting plate and a lower pressing tongue provided on the connecting plate, and the lower pressing tongue protrudes forward to facilitate pressing down the protective tongue piece.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, two guide rods 8 are provided between the mounting bracket 14 and the lower pressing plate 9, and the rotating sleeve 10 is located between the two guide rods 8. The two guide rods 8 and the screw rod 15 form a stable structure of three-point support, so that the lower pressing plate 9 can be smoothly lowered.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the motor cover 6 is also mounted on the mounting bracket 14, and the pressing drive element 13 is located in the motor cover 6. The mounting bracket 14 is an L-shaped structure, and the housing formed together with the motor cover 6 protects the pressing drive element 13.

The fixing base 4 is fixed to the motor sleeve 1, and the connecting rod 5 is connected between the fixing base 4 and the mounting bracket 14 to provide support for the mounting bracket 14, thereby supporting the pressing drive element 13.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the front end of the motor sleeve 1 is also provided with a knife switch positioning sleeve 11, and the rotating sleeve 10 is coaxially sleeved in the knife switch positioning sleeve 11 and extends out of the knife switch positioning sleeve 11. When the current rotating sleeve 10 is used to rotate the rocker, there is a problem of poor positioning effect during the rotation process. However, the knife switch positioning sleeve 11 provided in this application can solve the problem of poor positioning effect of the rotating sleeve 10. Specifically, when the rotating sleeve 10 is inserted into the operating hole and engaged with the rocker, the front end of the knife switch positioning sleeve 11 can also be pressed against the end surface around the operating hole by the mechanical arm, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of inaccurate positioning of the rotating sleeve 10.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the knife switch positioning sleeve 11 is fixed to the motor sleeve 1 through a mounting plate 12. Wherein, the mounting plate 12 is fixed to the front end of the motor sleeve 1 by bolts.
