TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of electric fault detection, in particular to a short-time withstand current test device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The short-time and peak current withstand test is a test that occurs after a short-circuit fault, in which the equipment needs to withstand a short-circuit current for a period of time without causing contact welding, automatic ejection or unallowed displacement and perceptible permanent deformation, giving the time for other circuit breakers in the system to remove the fault, and the equipment can continue to be used normally after the fault is removed. The test can measure the current withstand of the switchgear.

[0003] After the switchgear is connected to the current, the standards for the withstand test are: 1. The contact is not allowed to have deformation phenomenon; 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] The present application discloses a short-time withstand current test device, please refer to Figures 1-2 , including current output module, short circuit control module, circuit breaker 11, peak withstand test module, short-time withstand test module, the current output module is connected with the short circuit control module, the short circuit control module is connected with the circuit breaker 11, the circuit breaker 11 is connected with the short-time withstand test module and the peak withstand test module respectively, the short-time withstand test module includes controller, gas detector and damage detection equipment, the controller is connected with the current output module, the damage detection equipment is connected with the circuit breaker 11;

[0039] Please refer to Figures 3-7 , the damage detection equipment includes detection shell 1, the circuit breaker 11 is installed inside the detection shell 1, the metal plate 13 is installed inside the detection shell 1, the arc extinguishing grid 12 is installed between the circuit breaker 11 and the metal plate 13 inside the detection shell 1, the gas pipe 3 is connected between the metal plate 13 and the circuit breaker 11, the sliding plate 2 is slidingly connected to the left and right inner walls of the circuit breaker 11, the two rollers 21 are rotatably connected between the two sliding plates 2, two ventilation openings 22 are opened in one of the sliding plates 2, the static contact 111 is installed on the left inner wall of the circuit breaker 11, the dynamic contact 112 is installed between the two rollers 21 of the detection shell 1, the magnetic sliding plate 113 is installed at the right end of the dynamic contact 112, the connecting spring 115 is fixedly connected between the magnetic sliding plate 113 and the circuit breaker 11, the electromagnet 114 is installed inside the circuit breaker 11 and is magnetically repulsive to the magnetic sliding plate 113, the exhaust pipe 4 is connected to the gas pipe 3, and the warning whistle is installed on the exhaust pipe 4.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 8-9 , in use, first, the staff carries out current output to the circuit through the current output module, and cooperates with the short circuit control module to carry out simulated short circuit fault program, so as to test the circuit breaker 11, when the short-time withstand current test is carried out, the damage detection equipment is used to detect whether the contact of the circuit breaker 11 is damaged, and whether the arc spraying phenomenon of the circuit breaker 11 occurs, if one of the two cases occurs, the maximum current carried is recorded, if neither of the two cases occurs, the current is increased, and the circuit current is continuously output until the withstand limit of the circuit breaker 11 is tested.

[0041] The peak withstand test module comprises a kinetic energy detection module and a kinetic energy recording module for load kinetic energy.

[0042] Through the peak withstand test module, the load kinetic energy in the circuit can be detected and recorded after current output, so as to obtain the peak current withstand capability of the circuit breaker 11.

[0043] The piston 32 is slidably connected to the air pipe 3 near one end of the circuit breaker 11, and the push spring 33 is fixedly connected between the piston 32 and the air pipe 3. The metal plate 13 is provided with a cavity 131 inside, the wire 133 electrically connected with the metal plate 13 is installed inside the cavity 131, and the movable plug 132 is slidably connected inside the cavity 131. The air pipe 3 is in communication with the cavity 131, and the cavity 131 is filled with combustible gas below the movable plug 132. The air pipe 3 is provided with a one-way valve 31 at both ends, and the piston 32 and the movable plug 132 are respectively filled with ammonia gas and carbon dioxide between the two one-way valves 31. The gas detector is installed on the exhaust pipe 4.

[0044] When the circuit breaker 11 is detected by the damage detection device, first, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 114 inside the circuit breaker 11 is used to drive the magnetic slide plate 113 to move, and then drive the moving contact 112 to connect with the static contact 111. When the circuit is short-circuited, if the moving contact 112 cannot withstand the high temperature caused by the fault and is deformed, when the electromagnet 114 is powered off, the connecting spring 115 pulls the moving contact 112 back to its original position through the magnetic slide plate 113. The roller 21 will roll according to the arc surface of the moving contact 112, and then drive the slide plate 2 to move up and down, as shown in FIG. Figures 6-7 When the air pipe 3 is in communication with the circuit breaker 11, the piston 32 moves under the pushing force of the push spring 33 after losing the negative pressure limit, so that the ammonia gas filled in the air pipe 3 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 4 through the one-way valve 31, and then the generated gas flow drives the warning whistle to emit a warning sound, informing the staff that the current circuit breaker 11 has reached the short-time current withstand limit state.

[0045] When the static contact 111 and the moving contact 112 are separated, if the current carried is too large, arc phenomenon may occur, that is, the current passes through the arc extinguishing grid 12 and hits the metal plate 13, causing the combustible gas in the cavity 131 to ignite through the wire 133, and then generating expansion pressure to push the movable plug 132 to move upward, so that the carbon dioxide gas filled in the air pipe 3 is also discharged from the exhaust pipe 4 through the one-way valve 31.

[0046] In this way, the gas detector can detect the type of gas to determine the specific failure reason of the circuit breaker 11 after carrying the maximum current.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] Compared with Embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 10 This embodiment adds the partition plate 41, which can more intuitively help the worker to understand the fault details of the withstand test after bearing the maximum current, and the implementation is as follows:

[0049] The partition plate 41 is installed between the discharge pipe 4 and the air pipe 3, the air plate 42 is rotationally connected on the partition plate 41, and the rotating shaft of the air plate 42 is fixedly connected with the rotating plate 43.

[0050] When the moving contact 112 in the circuit breaker 11 is deformed or the metal plate 13 is hit by the arc, different gases enter the inside of the discharge pipe 4 from the two ends of the air pipe 3, the air plate 42 is driven to rotate in different directions by the pushing force of the gas, and the worker can more timely understand the fault details of the withstand test after bearing the maximum current.

[0051] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present application; however, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any skilled person in the art, according to the technical scheme and the improved conception of the present application, should be covered in the protection scope of the present application, which is equivalent to the replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application.
