During the switching process of the vacuum circuit breaker, the contact contacts will oxidize and cause wear. It is impossible to effectively judge the amount of contact wear of the vacuum circuit breaker, making it inconvenient for personnel to judge whether the contacts of the vacuum circuit breaker need to be replaced. To this end, we propose a vacuum circuit breaker monitoring device. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a monitoring device for a vacuum circuit breaker, comprising a control box 1, a plurality of mounting tubes 3 fixedly connected to the control box 1, the outer surface of the mounting tube 3 is fixedly connected with an input connecting tube 7 and an output connecting tube 8, a vacuum interrupter 21 is formed inside the mounting tube 3, a static contact 17 is arranged above the interior of the vacuum interrupter 21, a moving contact 20 is arranged below the interior of the vacuum interrupter 21, a metal rod 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving contact 20, an insulating rod 19 is fixedly connected to the metal rod 25, a connecting tube 4 fixedly connected to the vacuum interrupter 21 is connected to the mounting tube 3, the insulating rod 19 extends into the interior of the connecting tube 4, an insulating sleeve 14 is fixedly installed inside the connecting tube 4, a resistance wire 24 is wound on the insulating sleeve 14, a conductive block 23 is fixedly connected to the insulating rod 19, a sliding contact 18 is fixedly connected to the conductive block 23, and a controller 2 and a resistance detection sensor are installed on the control box 1.

[0025] When the switch is opened or closed, the metal rod 25 drives the moving contact 20 to move up and down. When the metal rod 25 moves, it will drive the insulating rod 19, the conductive block 23 and the sliding contact 18 to move up and down. When the sliding contact 18 slides on the outer surface of the resistance wire 24, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection sensor will change. When the moving contact 20 is in stable contact with the static contact 17, the maximum resistance value is generated. After repeated use, the moving contact 20 or the static contact 17 will be worn. After wear, the metal rod 25 will have a longer displacement stroke, and the maximum resistance value detected by the resistance detection sensor will also become higher. The maximum resistance value generated after the current wear minus the maximum resistance value generated before wear is the wear amount of the contact contact of the vacuum circuit breaker, which is convenient for personnel to make judgments and know the maintenance and replacement time.

[0026] A distribution pole 13 is slidably penetrated on the conductive block 23, and the distribution pole 13 is electrically connected to the positive input terminal of the resistance detection sensor through a wire. One end of the resistance wire 24 is electrically connected to the negative input terminal of the resistance detection sensor through a wire, and the output terminal of the resistance detection sensor is electrically connected to the controller 2 through a wire.

[0027] An input conductive connecting rod 15 is fixedly installed on the input connecting tube 7, and the input conductive connecting rod 15 is electrically connected to the static contact 17. The bottom of the metal rod 25 is fixedly connected to a sliding seat 11, and the sliding seat 11 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 3. An insulating pull rod 10 is hinged at the bottom of the sliding seat 11. An output conductive connecting rod 22 is fixedly installed inside the output connecting tube 8, and the end of the output conductive connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to a metal sleeve 12, which is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the metal rod 25.

[0028] The metal rod 25 slides into the interior of the vacuum interrupter 21 .

[0029] The interior of the connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected with a fixing block 16 , which is provided with a plurality of connecting holes. An air pressure detection gauge 6 is installed on the top of the connecting pipe 4 .

[0030] The installed air pressure detection meter 6 can detect the vacuum pressure of the inner wall of the vacuum interrupter 21 to monitor whether there is any air leakage inside the vacuum interrupter 21 .

The provision of the first annular protrusions 9 and the second annular protrusions 5 can increase the contact area between the mounting tube 3 and the outside, facilitating heat dissipation.

[0032] Working principle: When the switch is on or off, the switch structure inside the control box 1 will drive the sliding seat 11 to move up and down through the insulating pull rod 10. When the sliding seat 11 moves up and down, it will drive the metal rod 25 to move up and down. The metal rod 25 drives the moving contact 20 to move up and down. When the metal rod 25 moves, it will drive the insulating rod 19, the conductive block 23 and the sliding contact 18 to move up and down. When the sliding contact 18 slides on the outer surface of the resistance wire 24, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection sensor will change. When the moving contact 20 is in stable contact with the static contact 17, the maximum resistance value is generated. After repeated use, the moving contact 20 or the static contact 17 will wear out. After wear, the metal rod 25 will have a longer displacement stroke, and the maximum resistance value detected by the resistance detection sensor will also become higher. The maximum resistance value generated after the current wear minus the maximum resistance value generated before wear is the contact wear amount of the vacuum circuit breaker, which is convenient for personnel to make judgments and know the maintenance and replacement time.

[0033] The installed air pressure detection meter 6 can detect the vacuum pressure of the inner wall of the vacuum interrupter 21 to monitor whether there is any air leakage inside the vacuum interrupter 21 .
