Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a circuit breaker switch, specifically a bottom-isolated fully enclosed circuit breaker switch. Background Technology

[0002] A ring main unit (RMU) is a set of electrical transmission and distribution equipment housed in a metal or non-metal insulated cabinet or assembled into a modular ring main unit. It typically uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), environmentally friendly gases, or epoxy resin as the insulating medium. For the rapidly developing power industry, using environmentally friendly gases as the insulating medium will be a significant future trend in the switchgear industry. The advantage of existing circuit breaker switches used in environmentally friendly gas cabinets lies in their maintenance-free characteristics. The switch employs a sealed enclosure structure, eliminating the threat of gas leakage and effectively isolating it from external contaminants, dust, and acid mist. This ensures the cleanliness of the operating environment and extends the service life of the busbars, circuit breakers, isolating switches, and grounding switches, achieving maintenance-free operation and significantly reducing the investment in distribution network operation and maintenance. However, existing circuit breaker switches have relatively small creepage distances between the three cam mounting bases, poor phase-to-phase insulation performance, posing significant safety hazards and low safety. Furthermore, these circuit breaker switches also suffer from drawbacks such as complex structure, non-compact design, large size, cumbersome assembly, and unreliable performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a bottom-isolated fully enclosed circuit breaker switch that is simple in structure, stable and reliable in performance, compact in structure, highly expandable, has good insulation performance and high assembly efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a bottom-isolated fully enclosed circuit breaker switch, comprising a frame, a circuit breaker assembly mounted on the frame, and an isolating switch assembly mounted on the frame. The circuit breaker assembly includes three epoxy resin castings mounted on the frame, three vacuum interrupters mounted within the three epoxy resin castings, three fixed seats respectively mounted in receiving grooves at one end of the three epoxy resin castings, a main shaft rotatably mounted on the three fixed seats, and three cam assemblies rotatably mounted on the main shaft for driving the three sets of vacuum interrupters to perform opening and closing actions. The isolating switch assembly includes an isolating shaft rotatably mounted on the frame, three support plates respectively mounted on the lower crossbeam of the frame, three isolating blades rotatably mounted on the three support plates and linked with the isolating shaft, and three stationary contacts respectively mounted on the three epoxy resin castings and electrically connected to the three vacuum interrupters. The lower crossbeam is provided with isolating protrusions separating the three support plates, and the epoxy resin castings are respectively provided with three insulating covers covering one side of the three stationary contacts.

[0005] The advantages of the above structure are as follows: the three vacuum interrupters of the circuit breaker switch are respectively housed within epoxy resin castings, employing a fully encapsulated design. This results in a more compact and smaller structure, better protection, and improved insulation and electrical performance. The insulating cover of the epoxy resin castings over the stationary contacts increases the insulation distance between the three stationary contacts, improving three-phase insulation performance. Furthermore, the circuit breaker assembly and disconnector assembly adopt modular designs, making assembly more convenient. Therefore, this fully encapsulated circuit breaker switch with lower isolation features simple structure, stable and reliable performance, compact design, good insulation performance, and high assembly efficiency.

[0006] Specifically, three limiting plates are respectively provided on one side of the three stationary contacts, and buffer plates that cooperate with the three isolating blades are respectively provided between the three limiting plates and the three stationary contacts. The buffer plates can buffer the isolating blades, thereby ensuring more reliable contact between the isolating blades and the stationary contacts and a longer mechanical life.

[0007] Specifically, the isolation shaft is equipped with three insulating sleeves that are fitted onto the three isolation blades. The insulating sleeves on the isolation shaft are fitted onto the three isolation blades, thereby increasing the insulation distance between the three isolation blades and improving the three-phase insulation performance.

[0008] Specifically, the main shaft is equipped with insulating isolation disks spaced between the three epoxy resin castings. These insulating isolation disks increase the three-phase insulation spacing of the circuit breaker assembly, resulting in better insulation performance.

[0009] Specifically, the frame is equipped with a grounding contact assembly that mates with the three isolating switches. The grounding contact assembly includes a support plate mounted on the frame, a grounding conductive busbar mounted on the support plate, and three grounding contacts mounted on the grounding conductive busbar and mate with the three isolating switches. Three buffer pads, mate with the three isolating switches, are respectively provided on the support plate at the locations corresponding to the three grounding contacts. The grounding contact assembly adopts a modular structure design, which facilitates modular assembly of the circuit breaker switch. Furthermore, the buffer pads cushion the isolating switches, ensuring reliable contact between the isolating switches and the grounding contacts and reducing damage.

[0010] Specifically, the support plate is equipped with three insulating transparent covers corresponding to the three grounding contacts, and each of the three insulating transparent covers has an arc-shaped insulating isolation channel that matches the movement trajectory of the three isolating blades. The insulating transparent covers can increase the insulation distance between the three isolating blades, resulting in better three-phase insulation performance.

[0011] Specifically, the pull rod of the vacuum interrupter is equipped with a flexible connector, and two fixing holes that mate with the flexible connector are respectively provided on both sides of the fixing base. Bolts that connect to the fixing holes are provided on the conductive copper busbar of the flexible connector. The two fixing holes on both sides of the fixing base allow for bidirectional extension of the flexible connector, enabling flexible connection to be flexibly assembled according to user needs, providing high expandability and greater user convenience.
