Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drop-out fuse testing, and in particular to a device for testing the mechanical life of drop-out fuses. Background Technology
[0002] Drop-out fuses are indispensable protective components in power systems. They can quickly disconnect the circuit in the event of short circuits or other faults, protecting equipment and personnel. To ensure that fuses operate reliably under various conditions, mechanical operation tests are required to verify whether the fuses can reliably open and close under different environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, as well as under frequent operation.
[0003] By simulating the mechanical stress of fuses during actual operation, their lifespan can be assessed, allowing for timely replacement of aging fuses. For newly developed fuse products, mechanical operation tests can verify the rationality of their design and their compliance with relevant standards. Power industry standards in various countries and regions have set specific requirements for the mechanical performance of fuses, and mechanical operation tests are an important means of verifying whether fuses meet these requirements.

[0047] Please refer to details. Figure 1The workbench 10 uses a support plate 82, and a frame 11 for support is set below the support plate 82. Casters 12 are set below the frame 11 for moving the entire test device. In this embodiment, six casters 12 are provided for more stable movement of the entire test device. Two first support bases 20 are provided, located on both sides of a second support base 40. Each first support base 20 is equipped with a closing / opening mechanism 30, and the two closing / opening mechanisms 30 are arranged opposite each other. Fixing mechanisms 50 are provided on both sides of the second support base 40 corresponding to the two first support bases 20. Specifically, two first support bases 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second support base 40. Therefore, the two closing and opening mechanisms 30 can also be symmetrically arranged. The height of the fixing mechanisms 50 located on both sides of the second support base 40 can be set as needed. At the same time, three or four first support bases 20 can be set as needed, and the corresponding closing and opening mechanisms 30 and fixing mechanisms 50 can be increased as needed. For example, when four first support bases 20 are set, they can be set on the four sides of the second support base 40 respectively, arranged in a 90-degree manner around the second support base 40. A display 70 is also set on the workbench 10 to display test data or display the control interface.
[0048] Please refer to details. Figure 1-3 The first support base 20 includes a first profile 21 perpendicularly arranged to the workbench 10, a second profile 22 disposed above and perpendicularly connected to the first profile 21, and a third profile 23 disposed on and perpendicularly connected to the second profile 22. The closing / opening mechanism 30 is disposed on the third profile 23. The first profile 21, the second profile 22, the third profile 23, and the second support base 40 can all be made of aluminum profiles, and can be fixed at the connection points by L-shaped connecting angles.

The output end of the closing / opening cylinder 32 is connected to a drop-out fuse 001. The first fixed base 31 is made of sheet metal and includes a horizontal portion for attaching to the side wall of the third profile 23, and connecting portions on both sides of the horizontal portion and perpendicular to the horizontal portion. The bottom of the closing / opening cylinder 32 is located between the two connecting portions, and a rotating shaft passes through it to achieve the rotatable connection for closing and opening. After the rotating shaft passes through, both ends of the rotating shaft can be secured with C-type buckles to prevent the rotating shaft from moving. The horizontal portion can be fixed using the fixing mechanism 50 of this invention, or by using bolts and nuts. The number of fixing structures or the number of bolts and nuts can be selected as needed.
[0050] The locking element 61 uses the first bolt. Two limiting strips 43 are provided on one side of the sliding channel 41 near the connecting channel 42. Several first toothed grooves 431 are provided on the limiting strips 43. The locking seat 62 is provided with second toothed grooves 621 that cooperate with the first toothed grooves 431. The locking seat 62 is also provided with a first internal threaded hole 622 for cooperating with the locking element 61. Two limiting strips 43 are located inside the sliding channel 41 and on both sides of the connecting channel 42. Two rows of second toothed grooves 621 are provided, corresponding to the two limiting strips 43. The first internal threaded hole 622 is located between the two rows of second toothed grooves 621. The locking member 61 passes through the fixing mechanism 50, the connecting channel 42, and the two limiting strips 43 and is threadedly connected to the locking seat 62. After locking, the second toothed groove 621 is embedded in the first toothed groove 431, which can prevent the fixing mechanism 50 from slipping. When it is necessary to adjust the height position of the fixing mechanism 50, the locking member 61 is loosened. It does not need to be completely loosened. It is only necessary to ensure that the second toothed groove 621 is disengaged from the first toothed groove 431. After the second toothed groove 621 is disengaged from the first toothed groove 431, the entire fixing mechanism 50 can be moved. One or more sliding channels 41 can be provided on the same side of the second support base 40, one or two corresponding connecting channels 42, and one or two locking mechanisms 60. This utility model provides two locking mechanisms 60 to better fix the fixing mechanism 50 to the side wall of the second support base 40.
[0051] The fixing mechanism 50 includes a mounting base 51 with a mounting groove 511 on its side wall, a clamping member 52 located inside the mounting base 51 and used to press down the drop-out fuse 001, and a rotating member 53 threadedly connected to the mounting base 51, with one end located inside the mounting base 51 and connected to the clamping member 52, and the other end located outside the mounting base 51. The rotation of the rotating member 53 drives the clamping member 52 to move upward or downward in the vertical direction. The fixing mechanism 50 also includes a handwheel 54 disposed on the rotating member 53 and used to drive the rotating member 53 to rotate. By rotating the handwheel 54, the rotating member 53 and the clamping member 52 are driven to rotate. When the clamping member 52 presses down, it can press down the drop-out fuse 001. The fixing mechanism 50 also includes a limiting member 55 for limiting the drop-out fuse 001. Two limiting members 55 are provided, which can be connected by a second bolt from the bottom of the mounting base 51. The end of the limiting member 55 extends into the mounting groove 511. The clamping member 52 can be locked to the bottom of the rotating member 53 by screws. The mounting base 51 is provided with an L-shaped second fixing base 56 on the upper and lower parts for mounting on the side wall of the second support base 40. The second fixing base 56 is provided with a hole for the locking member 61 to pass through. The locking member 61 first passes through the hole, then through the connecting channel 42 and is screwed to the locking base 62.
[0052] Please refer to details. Figure 11 , 12The mechanical life testing device also includes a support assembly 80 mounted on the first support base 20. The support assembly 80 includes a third support base 81 and a support plate 82 embedded in the third support base 81.
