[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0033] This application discloses a springless, fast-response on-load tap changer drive mechanism. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the on-load tap changer drive mechanism includes an electric actuator 1, within which a drive component 101 is installed. Preferably, the drive component 101 is a high-speed motor, ensuring that the changeover switch 4 can quickly shift gears. The drive component 101 has an independent power supply 102 installed within the electric actuator 1. The independent power supply 102 is bolted to the electric actuator 1, facilitating replacement in case of damage. The independent power supply 102 can independently power the drive component 101, ensuring that its operation is unaffected by external power outages and reducing the possibility of the on-load tap changer operating in neutral due to external power failures.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an electronic controller 103 is also provided in the electric device 1. The electronic controller 103 is electrically connected to the independent power supply 102 and the drive unit 101. The electronic controller 103 can monitor the power level of the independent power supply 102 and the working status of the drive unit 101. When the power level of the independent power supply 102 is insufficient and the drive unit 101 stops working, the electronic controller 103 can control the external circuit to charge the independent power supply 102, reducing the possibility of the drive unit 101 stopping working due to a power outage of the independent power supply 102.

[0035] likeFigure 1 As shown, a transmission device 2 and a worm gear box 3 are connected between the drive component 101 and the switch 4. The transmission device 2 includes a reduction gear box 201 connected to the drive component 101. A first transmission rod 202 is connected to the top of the reduction gear box 201. The vertical first transmission rod 202 is connected to a horizontal second transmission rod 203. The second transmission rod 203 is connected to the worm gear box 3 located above the switch 4. The drive component 101 drives the worm gear box 303 through the transmission device 2.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, a worm 302 is installed inside the worm gear box 3, and a second connecting rod is connected to the worm 302. A worm wheel 303, which is drively connected to the worm 302, is also installed inside the worm gear box 3. A connecting shaft 301 is connected to the worm wheel 303, and the connecting shaft 301 extends out of the worm wheel box 303 and is fixedly connected to the lever 502. The worm wheel box 303 and the transmission device 2 enable the drive component 101 to drive the connecting shaft 301, thereby realizing the rotation of the lever 5, which is directly connected to the connecting shaft 301.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dial 5 is composed of a pair of paddles 501 connected by a connecting part 503 in the middle, which is generally disc-shaped. Each paddle 501 has a protrusion, and a lever 502 is fixedly connected between the protrusions of the two paddles 501. A grooved wheel 6 is provided on one side of the dial 5, and several connecting blocks 601 are evenly arranged on the grooved wheel 6. In this embodiment, six connecting blocks 601 are evenly arranged. The outer surface of the connecting block 601 forms a concave arc surface, which matches the arc surface of the connecting part 503. When the dial 5 rotates, the arc surface of the connecting part 503 abuts against the concave arc surface of the connecting block 601, allowing the dial 5 to engage the grooved wheel 6 during rotation, thus improving the stability of the grooved wheel 6. When the dial wheel 5 rotates, causing the lever 502 to enter the groove between adjacent connecting blocks 601, the rotation of the dial wheel 5 causes the lever 502 to abut against the inner wall of the groove, thereby driving the rotation of the groove wheel 6. This converts the continuous rotation of the dial wheel 5 into the intermittent rotation of the groove wheel 6. The groove wheel 6 is connected to the switching switch 4 below and drives the switching switch 4 to work, thus realizing the adjustment of the on-load tap changer.

[0038] The implementation principle of the on-load tap changer drive mechanism of the springless fast mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0039] When voltage regulation is needed, the driving member 101 drives the connecting shaft 301 in the worm wheel box 3 to rotate through the transmission device 2. Since the connecting shaft 301 is directly connected with the dial wheel 5, and the driving member 101 is a high-speed motor, the dial wheel 5 can quickly drive the notch wheel 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the quick voltage shift of the on-load tap changer. Meanwhile, the driving member 101 is connected with the independent power supply 102, and an electric control device 103 is arranged to monitor the working states of the driving member 101 and the independent power supply 102. When the independent power supply 102 and the driving member 101 stop working, the electric control device 103 can control the external circuit to charge the independent power supply 102, so that the on-load tap changer is not affected by the power-off of the external circuit, and the possibility of the on-load tap changer being in an idle gear due to the power-off of the external circuit is reduced.

[0040] The embodiments of the specific implementation are the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application, wherein the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
