Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of voltage transformer rear plug installation and manufacturing, specifically to a special tool for assembling transformer rear plugs. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the smart grid industry, smart grid construction has placed new demands on the miniaturization, high reliability, automation, and intelligence of switches. Currently, voltage transformers for gas-insulated switchgear are compact in structure and small in size, with a fully shielded metal surface. During operation, the outer surface is grounded to zero potential, unaffected by altitude pollution or any electric field interference, resulting in high operational stability. Furthermore, the products exhibit low partial discharge, meeting or exceeding national and IEC standards, and their technology is internationally leading. These transformers are widely used in key projects both domestically and internationally, including rail transit, oil and petrochemicals, steel smelting, offshore platforms, clean energy, and urban underground power stations. Their usage accounts for over 70% of the domestic market for this type. Due to technical requirements, voltage transformers for gas-insulated switchgear require an internal fuse followed by sealing with an insulating plug. The insulating plug is a core component of voltage transformers for gas-insulated switchgear. During production and assembly, the plug's special structure makes assembly complex, and traditional manual assembly is inefficient and inconsistent, easily leading to problems such as poor sealing or partial discharge. Existing technology lacks an efficient and reliable dedicated tool for this purpose, necessitating improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0014] like Figure 1 and 2As shown: A special workbench for assembling the retaining ring of the rear plug of a current transformer. This special workbench is composed of a workbench base 1, a pressure rod 2, a spring 3, a positioning plate 4, a support plate 5, a top rod 6, a guide rod 7, a silicone head 8, a rear plug base 9, and a retaining ring 10. The workbench base 1 is used to fix the assembly components. The positioning plate 4 is vertically installed on one side of the workbench base 1. The pressure rod 2 is hinged to the top of the support plate 5 and applies downward pressure through a lever structure. The guide rod 7 is fitted with a spring 3, and one end of the guide rod 7 is connected to the pressure rod. The spring 3 is hinged near the pressure rod 2 and the positioning plate 4. The other end of the spring 3 passes through the U-shaped opening in the middle of the positioning plate 4. The positioning plate 4 holds the other end of the spring 3. The guide rod 7 can pass through the positioning plate 4 vertically. The positioning plate 4 is connected to the support plate 5. The upper end of the push rod 6 is connected to the pressure rod 2. The end of the push rod 6 has an arc-shaped contact surface for pressing the fixing retaining ring 10. The rear plug base 9 is placed on the workbench base 1. The silicone head is installed on the rear plug base 9. The fixing retaining ring 10 is installed in the positioning groove formed by the rear plug base 9 and the silicone head. The support plate 5 has a U-shaped cross-section with a central opening. The U-shaped opening faces the positioning plate 4 and is detachably connected by bolts. The guide rod 7 is clearance-fitted with the U-shaped opening of the positioning plate 4 to ensure free vertical movement of the guide rod 7.
[0015] like Figure 3 As shown: the rear plug base 9 and silicone head 8 are assembled into a combination piece in the early stage;
[0016] like Figure 4 As shown, during implementation: 1. Clean the rear plug base 9 and silicone head 8 and place them flat on a dust-free workbench, ensuring the surfaces are free of oil or impurities to avoid affecting the sealing performance. Align the protruding part of the silicone head 8 with the groove of the rear plug base 9, and gently press or tap evenly with a rubber mallet to make the silicone head 8 fully embedded in the positioning groove of the base 9. Pre-assemble the rear plug base 9 and silicone head 8 into a combined assembly. Figure 3 );
[0017] 2. Place the assembly on the workbench base 1, and place the retaining ring 10 in the positioning groove;
[0018] 3. The operator holds the end of the pressure rod 2 and applies downward pressure. The force is amplified by the lever fulcrum hinged to the top of the support plate 5, causing the push rod 6 to move downward. The push rod 6 contacts the fixed retaining ring 10 through its arc surface. At the same time, the operator manually rotates the rear plug base 9 to press the fixed retaining ring 10 evenly into the groove.
[0019] 4. Slowly release the pressure rod 2, the spring 3 pushes the guide rod 7 to return to its original position, and the top rod 6 disengages from the fixed retaining ring 10, thus completing the assembly.
