Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switchgear technology, specifically to an integrated heat dissipation and fire extinguishing device for an electric furnace power supply switching switch. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the changeover switch (knife switch) used for powering medium-frequency induction furnaces generally consists of a handle, a contact blade, a stationary socket, a hinge support, and an insulating base plate. When the operator holds the handle and rotates the contact blade around the hinge support until it is inserted into the stationary socket, the circuit is switched on. At this point, a current path is formed by the hinge support, the contact blade, and the stationary socket. If the operator rotates the contact blade in the opposite direction around the hinge support, disengaging it from the stationary socket, the circuit is switched off. However, medium-frequency induction furnaces have high power and high operating current. The changeover switch generates a lot of heat when carrying a large current. If this heat is not dissipated in time, the temperature of the changeover switch will rise rapidly, leading to burnout and even a fire. Utility Model Content

[0025] A slot is provided on one side of the base 1, and the slot communicates with the cavity of the base 1. The power input conductive plate 2, the power output conductive plate one 3, and the power output conductive plate two 4 are correspondingly inserted into the slot of the base 1, so that the power input conductive plate 2, the power output conductive plate one 3, and the power output conductive plate two 4 are in thermally conductive contact with the base 1, and are cooled by cooling water in the base 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, four power supply switching conductive plates 5 are arranged side by side, with two adjacent power supply switching conductive plates 5 forming a group. Two power supply input conductive plates 2, two power supply output conductive plates 3, and two power supply output conductive plates 4 are arranged side by side. By clamping one end of the power supply output conductive plate 3 or the power supply output conductive plate 4 between two adjacent power supply switching conductive plates 5, electrical contact is achieved between the power supply switching conductive plates 5 and the power supply output conductive plates 3 or 4. Each group of power supply switching conductive plates 5 is provided with a disc-shaped gasket 51 for clamping the power supply output conductive plates 3 or 4.

[0028] The switching handle assembly acts on the power supply switching conductive plate 5 to rotate it, thereby making the power supply switching conductive plate 5 electrically contact the power supply output conductive plate 3 or the power supply output conductive plate 4. Specifically, the switching handle assembly includes a connecting block 91 insulated from the power supply switching conductive plate 5, a handle seat 92 fixed on an insulating plate 8, a handle 93 hinged to the handle seat 92, and a pull rod 94 connecting the connecting block 91 and the handle 93.

Preferably, the water cooling system is equipped with a booster pump and a pressure regulating valve to pressurize the cooling water during fire extinguishing, ensuring the nozzles 71 spray pressurized water and guaranteeing the fire extinguishing effect.

[0031] The aforementioned integrated heat dissipation and fire extinguishing device for the electric furnace power supply switch is installed on the power cabinet during use. The power input conductive plate 2 is connected to the frequency converter via wires, and the power output conductive plates 3 and 4 are connected to the two electric furnaces via wires.

The power input conductive plate 2, power output conductive plate 3, and power output conductive plate 4 are inserted into the slots of the base 1 respectively. The cooling water in the base 1 cools the power input conductive plate 2, power output conductive plate 3, and power output conductive plate 4, removing the heat generated by the electric furnace power supply switch and preventing the switch from overheating when carrying a large current. In the event of a fire, the smoke sensor 74 receives a signal and outputs a signal to the PLC controller 73. The PLC controller 73 then controls the solenoid valve 72 to open, causing the nozzle 71 to spray cooling water to extinguish the fire, ensuring the electrical safety of the equipment.
