A transmission structure connected with an operating mechanism is arranged between the base and the grounding blade, the transmission structure comprises a support rod and a connecting rod which are sequentially hinged, the end of the support rod is hinged to the base for being connected with the operating mechanism, and the end of the connecting rod is hinged to the grounding blade. When the opening operation is performed, the moving contact and the static contact are separated, the operating mechanism drives the connecting rod to rotate through the support rod, drives the grounding blade to swing downward, and the grounding blade moves from the vertical state to the horizontal state, and the opening is completed.

[0003] When the opening is completed, since the grounding blade has a certain rotating speed and rotational inertia, the grounding blade will continue to rotate downward, so that the whole machine is impacted and vibrates. If the grounding blade is short and light in weight and small in rotational inertia, the impact is small, and the open type grounding switch can be normally used; however, for the open type grounding switch with high voltage and large current, since the grounding blade is long (more than 6 meters) and heavy in weight and large in rotational inertia, the impact is large, the stability of the opening and closing operation of the open type grounding switch and the reliability of long-term use are seriously affected, and meanwhile, the other connected substation products are vibrated through the connecting line, which brings unstable factors to the safe operation of the substation.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to install the buffer in the open type grounding switch for the on-off control of the high voltage grade circuit.

[0005] The open grounding switch is generally applied to outdoor power stations and is easily affected by environmental factors such as rain, snow, dust and the like, wherein rainwater is usually acidic and has great influence and harm on the buffer of the open grounding switch. After the rainwater penetrates into the working cavity of the buffer, the aging and wear of the piston and spring in the working cavity of the buffer are accelerated, so that the service life of the buffer is reduced, the function is failed, the work of eliminating vibration and impact cannot be completed, and the use safety and structural stability of the whole machine are affected.

[0034] The features and performances of the utility model will be further described in detail in combination with the embodiments.

[0035] The buffer of the utility model can cope with the challenge of outdoor environment by increasing the rainproof structure, effectively prevents rainwater from entering the working cavity inside the buffer, reduces the influence and harm of rainwater on the parts in the working cavity, prolongs the working life of the buffer, and ensures the working stability of the buffer.

[0036] As Figure 1 , 2As shown, in a basic embodiment, the buffer of the utility model includes working cylinder body, rain cover 3 and buffer pad 1, working cylinder body is composed of mounting plate 4, cylinder sleeve 2 and cylinder cover 8, the inside of working cylinder body is the working cavity of buffer, and piston 5 and spring 9 are installed in the inside of working cavity.The upper and lower ends of cylinder sleeve 2 are provided with external threads, and mounting plate 4 and cylinder cover 8 are connected with cylinder sleeve 2 through the external threads on cylinder sleeve 2, piston 5 is installed in working cylinder body, the piston rod of piston 5 extends from the upper end of working cylinder body to the outside of working cylinder body, and buffer pad 1 is fixed on the end face of piston rod.Under the condition of not receiving external force, the pre-tightening force of spring 9 makes piston 5 tightly adhere to cylinder cover 8, the end of piston rod located outside working cylinder body is provided with rain cover 3, the gap between piston rod and working cylinder body is shielded, and rainwater is prevented from entering the inside of working cavity, when buffer pad 1 is subjected to external force, piston 5 moves downward, and compresses spring 9, when the external force is large enough, the lower dead point is reached, in this process, rain cover and working cylinder body always maintain a certain distance, and do not interfere with each other, when piston 5 is located at the lower dead point, the matching position of rain cover 3 and piston rod is located above working cylinder body, and the lower end of rain cover 3 is located above the lower end of working cylinder body.

[0037] In other embodiments, the buffer components can be connected by other means, for example, the buffer pad 1 and the piston 5 are connected by using the adhesive means, which is also within the protection scope of the patent.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the rain cover 3 is directly fixed on the piston rod, and remains relatively static with the piston 5, to ensure sufficient protection effect, at the same time, the piston rod is provided with external threads, and the rain cover 3 is provided with a threaded hole matched with the external threads on the piston rod, the rain cover is directly screwed on the piston rod, which is convenient for installation, disassembly and replacement. The buffer pad 1 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the piston rod, the buffer pad shields the threaded matching position of the rain cover 3 and the piston rod in the vertical direction, to prevent rainwater from entering the buffer working cavity from the threaded matching position of the rain cover 3 and the piston rod, and then entering the buffer working cavity, thereby enhancing the rainproof effect of the buffer.

[0039] In other embodiments, the rain cover 3 can be integrally formed with the buffer pad 1 or connected by adhesive, which can also effectively solve the problems in the prior art, but the buffer pad 1 is a vulnerable component and needs to be replaced frequently, and it is not convenient to replace it alone, which will increase the maintenance cost; the buffer pad can also not be arranged on the end face of the piston rod, and the piston can be replaced by a material with higher strength to prevent damage.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the buffer pad 1 is designed as a cap-shaped structure, which can better play a buffering role while taking into account the rainproof effect. The buffer pad 1 is provided with a threaded hole at the end face and is mounted at the top end of the piston rod through the threaded hole, thereby reducing the processing procedure and optimizing the buffer structure. The rain cover 3 includes a cylindrical cover wall, and the upper end of the cover wall is provided with an end plate. The center of the end plate is provided with a threaded hole matched with the piston rod, and the rain cover 3 is connected with the piston rod through the threaded hole in the center of the end plate.

[0041] In other embodiments, the shape of the buffer pad 1 can also be saddle-shaped or triangular prism-shaped. However, other shapes have small universality, and replacement requires special spare parts.

[0042] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the working cylinder body includes a cylinder sleeve 8 and a cylinder cover 2 arranged at the top end of the cylinder sleeve. The cylinder cover 8 is threadedly matched with the cylinder sleeve 2. When the piston 5 is located at the top dead center, the lower end of the cover wall extends below the connection position of the cylinder cover 8 and the cylinder sleeve 2, thereby ensuring complete shielding of the gap of the working cylinder body and preventing rainwater from entering. In order to avoid continuous corrosion of the parts in the working cavity caused by accidental entry of rainwater, two drainage holes 10 are arranged at the bottom end of the working cylinder body, i.e. at the recess on the mounting plate 4, thereby ensuring that the cavity can be quickly drained even if rainwater enters. Of course, it is not meant that the drainage holes can only be two. In fact, it does not deny that a plurality of other drainage holes are also arranged. These changes still belong to the contribution of the present application to the prior art and still belong to the scope of protection of the present patent. A limiting support column 7 is arranged in the working cavity of the buffer. The limiting support column 7 is fixed on the mounting plate 4 through a screw and a nut. The spring 9 is arranged inside the working cavity in the direction of the limiting support column 7, thereby limiting the compression and rebound direction of the spring 9. When an external force is applied, the piston 5 moves downward. When the external force is large enough, the piston 5 contacts the end face of the limiting support column 7, thereby reaching the bottom dead center. Since the working cylinder is easily subjected to a large impact, the piston 5 maintains a high speed when it moves to the bottom dead center. In order to prevent the piston 5 and the limiting support column 7 from being damaged by collision, a buffer pad 6 is arranged at the end face of the limiting support column 7 in contact with the piston 5, thereby reducing the impact.

[0043] In other embodiments, the limiting support column 7 can be replaced by a fixed boss on the mounting plate 4, which can play the same role.

[0044] The specific implementation scheme of the open-type grounding switch of the present application is as follows:

[0045] The open-type grounding switch of the present application includes a buffer, and the implementation mode of the buffer is as shown above, which will not be described again.

[0046] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and the patent protection scope of the present application is subject to the claims, and any equivalent structural changes made according to the content of the specification and drawings of the present application should also be included in the protection scope of the present application.
