TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to GIS tank manufacturing technical field, concretely relates to a kind of anti-settling cooling device for GIS tank welding. BACKGROUND

[0002] GIS tank is the shell of GIS (gas insulated switchgear), and GIS is a kind of electrical equipment, in which circuit breaker, disconnecting switch, grounding switch, current transformer, voltage transformer, surge arrester, bus, connecting piece and outgoing terminal are all enclosed in GIS tank and filled with certain pressure of insulating gas.GIS tank is connected with branch pipe on side surface, and welding sealing is used between branch pipe and GIS tank, and high welding quality is required, and after welding, it needs to be detected by flaw detection process and air-tightness detection.

[0003] The existing welding construction adopts tight welding to reduce the probability of defects such as virtual welding, false welding and unqualified weld size, so as to improve the weld quality and meet the air-tightness detection requirements.But tight welding has the following problems:

[0004] High temperature generated by welding causes local deformation of GIS tank, that is, the welding position causes settlement of GIS tank surface due to thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in rework of unqualified GIS tank.

[0005] For the above problems, the existing processing methods are: 1. According to the thickness of the plate, strictly control the current size; reduce the variable settlement caused by thermal plastic deformation and thermal expansion and contraction.2. Welding adopts outside first and inside second.The settlement formed by outside welding is used to use the thermal plastic deformation and expansion and contraction of inside welding to "arch" back the settlement process technology.This method can indeed reduce the probability of GIS tank surface settlement problem, but it requires high welding operation personnel, and the risk of surface settlement still exists and the probability is not low, so the effect of this method is not obvious, and it is difficult to further improve the qualified rate of GIS tank.

[0025] Embodiment one;

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 Embodiment one provides an anti-settling cooling device for GIS tank welding, which comprises a ring-shaped cooling pipe 1 extending along the welding joint of the GIS tank 9, and the distance between the cooling pipe 1 and the welding joint is L, L is not greater than 7 cm. For example, the distance between the cooling pipe 1 and the circular welding joint is 4 cm, 5 cm or 6 cm, etc., which is determined according to the width of the weld and the tightness of the welding. The greater the tightness, the smaller the distance, and within the range of not more than 7 cm, the best heat dissipation effect can be obtained at the welding joint. If it exceeds 7 cm, the heat dissipation effect near the welding joint is weakened, and the possibility of collapse of the GIS tank 9 surface is increased. But not limited to 7 cm, but also can be adaptively selected according to the wall thickness of the GIS tank 9.

[0027] In order to improve the heat absorption effect of the cooling pipe 1, the present embodiment adopts the following structure:

[0028] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the cooling pipe 1 is equipped with a heat-conducting contact element 2 to increase the contact area with the GIS tank 9. The heat-conducting contact element 2 extends along the length of the cooling pipe 1 and wraps around it, with the lower cross-sectional area of ​​the heat-conducting contact element 2 being larger than the upper cross-sectional area. The heat-conducting contact element 2 has a structure that is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top, resulting in a large contact area with the GIS tank 9. This allows for rapid absorption and transfer of heat from the GIS tank 9 to the cooling pipe 1, improving the heat absorption rate of the cooling pipe 1. To maintain sufficient contact, a heat-conducting silicone pad 3 is provided between the heat-conducting contact element 2 and the GIS tank 9. The heat-conducting silicone pad 3 fills the gap between the lower surface of the heat-conducting contact element 2 and the GIS tank 9, further enhancing the heat absorption rate of the cooling pipe 1.

[0029] The method of fixing the thermally conductive contact 2 is as follows:

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the thermally conductive contact 2 has two lifting lugs 4, located on both sides of the GIS tank 9. An elastic element 5 is provided between the two lifting lugs 4. This elastic element 5 can be an elastic rope, a long tension spring, etc., and this embodiment is not limited, as long as it can be tied to the GIS tank 9 and tightened between the two lifting lugs 4. The elastic element 5 is fitted onto the GIS tank 9, and the elastic force of the elastic element 5 keeps the thermally conductive contact 2 tightly attached to the outer surface of the GIS tank 9. After the cooling pipe 1 makes full contact with the GIS tank 9 through the thermally conductive contact 2, the elastic element 5 is used to firmly fix the thermally conductive contact 2 near the welding joint. During the welding process, the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling pipe 1 to the welding part is maintained, effectively reducing the probability of surface settlement problems on the GIS tank 9.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to further improve the heat absorption rate of cooling pipe 1, the cooling pipe 1 in this embodiment adopts a flat shape, that is, the cross-sectional shape of cooling pipe 1 is elliptical, and the short axis side of the ellipse is adjacent to the GIS tank 9. The wider side of cooling pipe 1 is adjacent to the GIS tank 9, increasing the area directly opposite the GIS tank 9, thereby improving the heat absorption rate of the directly opposite side.

[0032] The embodiment also includes a cooling inlet pipe 6 and a cooling return pipe 7 respectively communicating with the cooling pipe 1, the inner cavity of the cooling pipe 1 is provided with a partition, and the cooling inlet pipe 6 and the cooling return pipe 7 are respectively located on the two sides of the partition. The cooling inlet pipe 6, the cooling pipe 1 and the cooling return pipe 7 form a one-way flow channel. The outer part of the cooling inlet pipe 6 and the outer part of the cooling return pipe 7 are sleeved with a heat insulation sleeve 8, and the cooling inlet pipe 6 and the cooling return pipe 7 are perpendicular to the GIS tank body 9. The outer part of the cooling inlet pipe 6 and the cooling return pipe 7 are arranged vertically to minimize the impact on the welding operation and not to hinder the welding operation. The embodiment also has a cooling source (not shown in the figure) communicating with the cooling inlet pipe 6 and the cooling return pipe 7, which can be a liquid cooling machine with refrigeration function (cooling medium is liquid), a gaseous cooling machine with refrigeration function (cooling medium is gas), or a water circulation radiator with heat dissipation function. The specific type of cooling source is not limited in this embodiment, as long as it can flow in the cooling pipe 1 to take away heat. In order to reduce the heat transfer between the outer part of the cooling inlet pipe 6 and the outer part of the cooling return pipe 7 and the surrounding air, the heat insulation sleeve 8 tightly wraps the outer part of the cooling inlet pipe 6 and the outer part of the cooling return pipe 7, maintaining the low temperature state of the cooling medium. During the welding process, the cooling medium in the cooling source circulates, the heat of the welding joint is transmitted to the cooling pipe 1 through the heat-conducting contact piece 2, and the cooling medium is cooled again through the cooling source after absorbing heat, thereby forming a local and continuous cooling of the side wall of the GIS tank body 9 near the welding joint. After the temperature is reduced, the risk of surface subsidence of the GIS tank body 9 is greatly reduced, and the yield of the GIS tank body 9 is improved.

[0033] Embodiment two:

[0034] Embodiment two provides a GIS tank tight welding method based on the anti-settlement cooling device for welding the GIS tank 9 in embodiment one, the steps are as follows:

[0035] S1: Select the cooling pipe 1 and the heat-conducting contact piece 2 according to the size of the welding joint on the side of the GIS tank 9, and the heat-conducting contact piece 2 can be attached to the outer surface of the GIS tank 9. The cooling pipe 1 and the heat-conducting contact piece 2 are fixed together to form an integrated structure.

[0036] S2, paste a circle of heat-conducting silica gel pad 3 around the welding joint.

[0037] S3, attach the lower surface of the heat-conducting contact piece 2 to the heat-conducting silica gel pad 3.

[0038] S4, one end of the elastic member 5 is hung on the lug 4 on one side of the heat-conducting contact 2, and the other end of the elastic member 5 is hung on the lug 4 on the other side of the heat-conducting contact 2 after passing through the GIS tank 9, so that the heat-conducting contact 2 is tightly pressed on the heat-conducting silica gel pad 3 through the tight elastic member 5, thereby keeping the cooling pipe 1 and the heat-conducting contact 2 tightly fixed with the GIS tank 9.

[0039] S5, the cooling source is started, and the cooling medium of the cooling source flows into the cooling pipe 1 from the cooling inlet pipe 6, flows through the cooling pipe 1 and then flows back to the cooling source from the cooling return pipe 7, so as to form a circulating cooling pipe 1 path.

[0040] S6, the branch pipe 10 is butted against the welding port of the GIS tank 9, and the two are tightly welded and fixed by using a tight welding method, and the welding is completed.

[0041] The GIS tank 9 tight welding method provided by the embodiment can not use the back "arch" process technology, the operation requirement of the welding operator is reduced, and the experience dependence of the welding process on the welding operator is weakened.

[0042] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the utility model, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the utility model and implement it, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the utility model is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, some simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
