Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article belongs to the technical field of busbar connection for gas-insulated switchgear, specifically relating to a quick busbar connector for gas-insulated switchgear. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-insulated switchgear is a new generation of switchgear. The main switch can be either a permanent magnet vacuum circuit breaker or a spring mechanism vacuum circuit breaker. The entire cabinet combines air insulation with sulfur hexafluoride gas compartments, making it both compact and expandable. It features compact structure, flexible operation, and reliable interlocking, and is widely used in small secondary substations, switching stations, prefabricated substations, residential communities, industrial and mining enterprises, large shopping malls, and other occasions in power systems.

[0003] The insulating medium of gas-insulated switchgear is primarily SF6, N2, dry air, or a mixture of SF6 and N2. However, traditional gas-insulated switchgear busbar connections require opening the gas chamber, on-site installation, vacuuming, and filling with insulating medium. Completing all these steps on-site takes a long time, and gas is prone to leakage, affecting the environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes a busbar quick connector for gas-insulated switchgear. The connector includes a connector base, an insulating sleeve, a connecting conductor, and a guide rail. The connector base is a cap-shaped shell, with its outer side inserted into and sealed to the gas-insulated switchgear. One end of the connector base has an inner insertion edge, and the other end has a sealing outer edge. The connector bases are arranged symmetrically in pairs, with the sealing outer edge as the surface. A guide rail is sealed through the center of the inner insertion edge. A gas chamber sealing plate is fitted to the outer surface of the sealing outer edge, and the outer surface of the sealing outer edge is sealed to the outer surface of the gas-insulated switchgear. The two symmetrical connector bases are connected... The internal plug-in type is equipped with an insulating sleeve, and the inner side of the insulating sleeve is equipped with a connecting conductor. The middle outer side of the insulating sleeve is equipped with a semi-conductive layer parallel and symmetrically arranged. The semi-conductive layer is fitted and connected to the inner diameter of the sealing outer edge and the inner diameter of the gas chamber sealing plate. The end of the connecting conductor is equipped with a guide busbar plug-in type. By pre-sealing and installing a connecting seat and guide busbar into the gas cabinet, the gas filling and leak detection of the gas cabinet can be completed in the factory. There is no need to carry out gas filling operations on site, which greatly simplifies the on-site installation of the gas cabinet, greatly improves the efficiency of on-site installation, and is not affected by external environmental factors.

[0005] The connector is an integrated cap-shaped housing. The outer annular surface of the connector has a sloping outer surface, and the outer corners of the connector have rounded chamfers. The outer side of the large-diameter end face of the connector has a sealing outer edge, and the inner side of the small-diameter end face of the connector has an insertion inner edge. The center of the insertion inner edge has a sealing insertion hole, and the inner surface of the sealing insertion hole is sealed to the outer surface of the conductor. The inner annular surface of the sealing outer edge has a semi-circular convex surface, which is in close contact with the semi-conductive layer. Through the cap-shaped housing connector, the conductor can be easily and sealed before being inserted, and then the connector can be installed on the surface of the gas-insulating cabinet. Thus, the connector can be pre-installed and sealed during the production process of the gas-insulating cabinet. When connection is required, the insulating sleeve and connecting conductor can be inserted, and then the connector and conductor at the other end can be plugged in to achieve a sealed wiring connection.

[0006] The guide bar is cylindrical in shape. One end of the guide bar has a connecting surface on its outer side, and the other end of the guide bar has two sets of spring grooves arranged in a parallel ring on its outer side. The connecting surface has vertically collinear guide holes. The inner side of the spring groove has spring contacts, which are fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting conductor. The connection between the guide bar and the connecting conductor is ensured to be stable through the spring contacts on the inner side of the guide bar.

[0007] The insulating sleeve is shaped like a hollow spindle tube. Two sealing grooves are symmetrically arranged in a ring on the outer side of the middle part of the insulating sleeve. A semi-conductive layer is provided on the inner surface of the sealing groove. The outer surface of the semi-conductive layer is in close contact with the inner diameter of the sealing outer edge and the inner diameter of the air chamber sealing plate. By providing sealing grooves on the outside of the insulating sleeve and providing a semi-conductive layer inside the sealing grooves, the sealing performance of the sealing outer edge and the air chamber sealing plate can be guaranteed.

[0008] The length of the connecting conductor is the same as the length of the insulating sleeve. The end face of the connecting conductor is flush with the end face of the insulating sleeve. Both the end face of the connecting conductor and the end face of the insulating sleeve are in close contact with the inner end face of the connecting seat. The connecting conductor ensures that the conductors are interconnected after the connecting seats at both ends are installed and fixed.

[0009] The air chamber sealing plate is annular stepped plate made of stainless steel. The outer surface of the air chamber sealing plate has protruding steps, and the inner diameter of the air chamber sealing plate has a semi-arc convex surface. The semi-arc convex surface is attached to the semi-conductive layer. The air chamber sealing plate ensures the absolute airtightness of the sealing outer edge of the connector and prevents insufficient airtightness when the connector is connected to the surface of the gas cabinet.

[0010] Beneficial effects:

[0011] By pre-installing a connector and guide rail into the gas cabinet in a sealed manner, the inflation and leak detection of the gas cabinet can be completed in the factory, eliminating the need for on-site inflation work. This greatly simplifies the on-site installation of the gas cabinet, significantly improves on-site installation efficiency, and is unaffected by external environmental factors.

[0012] The connector with the cap-shaped housing allows for easy, sealed insertion of the conductor before installing the connector onto the surface of the gas-insulated switchgear. This allows the connector to be pre-installed and sealed during the production of the gas-insulated switchgear. When connection is required, the insulating sleeve and connecting conductor can be inserted, and then the connector and conductor at the other end can be plugged in to achieve a sealed wiring connection.

[0013] The spring contacts on the inside of the guide bar ensure a stable connection between the guide bar and the connecting conductor.

[0014] By providing a sealing groove on the outside of the insulating sleeve and a semi-conductive layer inside the sealing groove, the sealing performance of the outer sealing edge and the gas chamber sealing plate can be guaranteed.

[0015] By connecting the conductors, it is possible to ensure that the conductors are interconnected after the connectors at both ends are installed and fixed.

[0016] The air chamber sealing plate ensures the absolute airtightness of the outer sealing edge of the connector, preventing insufficient airtightness when the connector is connected to the surface of the gas chamber. Attached Figure Description
