Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of DC gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear technology, and more particularly to a metal particle trap with an additional internal magnetic field. Background Technology

[0002] During the production, transportation, installation, and operation of gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear (GIS), metal particles are inevitably generated due to factors such as mechanical vibration, collision, or thermal expansion and contraction friction. These free metal particles, once charged, move freely within the cavity under the influence of electric field forces and gravity, potentially causing inter-electrode discharges or, in the case of small particles adhering to the insulator surface, resulting in surface flashover faults. This can severely damage the insulation performance of the power equipment. Under DC voltage, the activity of these particles is even stronger, and their range of motion is wider. Therefore, insulation faults caused by metal particles have become a significant challenge in the research and application of DC GIS.

[0003] Current research on metal particle traps mainly focuses on the structure of the traps, specifically adjusting geometric parameters such as the shape of the trap baffle, the length, and the height to increase the probability of particle capture. However, due to the large kinetic energy of particles entering the trap under DC high voltage, the "charge suppression effect" of the trap is relatively good. Even with almost no electric field force, the particles still possess sufficient kinetic energy to escape. Therefore, the "blocking effect" of the trap becomes more crucial under DC voltage. To address this, this invention proposes a metal particle trap with an additional internal magnetic field. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] This application provides an embodiment of a metal particle trap with an additional internal magnetic field; please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 .

[0044] The metal particle trap with an additional internal magnetic field in this embodiment includes: a trap body 1, which is a hollow structure. Multiple grids 11 and multiple baffles 12 are evenly and alternately arranged on the upper surface of the trap body 1 along the length direction. The grids 11 are connected to the interior of the trap body 1. A strip permanent magnet 13 is provided directly below each baffle 12, and the symmetry axis of the strip permanent magnet 13 coincides with the symmetry axis of the baffle 12. The trap body 1 is sealed around its perimeter and bottom.

[0045] It should be noted that the bar-shaped permanent magnet 13 below the baffle 12 can apply a Lorentz force to the charged metal particles entering the trap, thereby weakening their vertical velocity, reducing their impact velocity on the metal particle trap, and thus reducing the probability of the metal particles escaping, which greatly improves the capture rate of the metal particles.

[0046] The above is Embodiment 1 of a metal particle trap with an added internal magnetic field provided by this application. The following is Embodiment 2 of a metal particle trap with an added internal magnetic field provided by this application. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1 to 8 .

[0047] The metal particle trap with an additional internal magnetic field in this embodiment includes: a trap body 1, which is a hollow structure. Multiple grids 11 and multiple baffles 12 are evenly and alternately arranged on the upper surface of the trap body 1 along its length. The grids 11 are connected to the interior of the trap body 1. A strip permanent magnet 13 is provided directly below each baffle 12, and the axis of symmetry of the strip permanent magnet 13 coincides with the axis of symmetry of the baffle 12. The trap body 1 is sealed on all sides and at the bottom. This closed structure at the bottom and sides can effectively suppress the escape of metal particles.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, each column of grid 11 has one or more grids. When there are multiple grids 11 in each column, the multiple grids 11 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the trap body 1.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the width l1 of the grid 11 is 4~20mm. When there are multiple grids 11 in each column, the spacing d4 between two adjacent grids 11 in the same column is 4~15mm; the distance d5 from both sides of each grid 11 to the edge of the trap body 1 is 4~15mm. Grids 11 within the above geometric parameter range can effectively increase the capture probability of metal particles and avoid the waste of resources and materials.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, one or more bar-shaped permanent magnets 13 are arranged in parallel directly below each baffle 12. The total length of each column of bar-shaped permanent magnets 13 on the trap body 1 is the same as the total length of each column of grids 11. It can be understood that when there are multiple grids 11 in each column, multiple bar-shaped permanent magnets 13 can be arranged in parallel directly below each baffle 12. The number of bar-shaped permanent magnets 13 is equal to the number of grids 11, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0051] The bar permanent magnet 13 is a cuboid or a prism with trapezoidal top and bottom surfaces. The arrangement of the bar permanent magnet 13 is adapted to the arrangement of the baffle 12. The width of the bar permanent magnet 13 is less than or equal to the width l2 of the baffle 12, and the thickness of the bar permanent magnet 13 is 3~20mm.

[0052] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the magnetic field direction of the bar permanent magnet 13 inside the metal particle trap is tangential to the arc surface of the trap where the bar permanent magnet 13 is arranged and perpendicular to the two sides of the bar permanent magnet 13. Figure 7 and Figure 8 These represent two different magnetic field vector directions generated by the interchange of the magnetic poles of the bar permanent magnet 13 along the same straight direction. After a charged metal particle enters the metal particle trap, it will be subjected to a Lorentz force perpendicular to its velocity direction due to the magnetic field. The Lorentz force can change the velocity direction of the metal particle entering the magnetic field, reducing the velocity of the metal particle perpendicular to the trap, thereby weakening the impact intensity of the metal particle on the trap, reducing the probability of the metal particle "ejecting" from the trap after collision, and thus increasing the probability of capturing the metal particle.

[0053] The trap body 1 is made of a non-ferromagnetic conductive metal, such as silver, copper, aluminum, tin, lead, titanium, and alloys of these metals. It is understandable that using a non-ferromagnetic metal allows the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet to be distributed throughout the surrounding space, preventing most magnetic field lines from closing along the metal particle trap. This results in a stronger Lorentz force on the metal particles entering the trap. Using a highly conductive metal creates a low-field region inside the metal particle trap, significantly reducing the electric field force experienced by the falling metal particles and decreasing their probability of escape.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the height h1 of the trap body 1 is 9mm~30mm, the thickness d2 of the lower surface of the trap body 1 and the thickness d3 of the two side surfaces of the trap body 1 are both 1~4mm; the width l3 of the trap body 1 is 20~45cm. The relatively high height of the trap body 1 and the relatively thin thickness of the lower and side surfaces allow for a larger internal space, which facilitates the arrangement of the strip permanent magnet 13 and can form a larger low electric field region to prevent metal particles from escaping.

[0055] The cross-sectional shape of the baffle 12 can be rectangular, rhomboid, trapezoidal, or triangular. The width l2 of the baffle 12 is 1.5 to 4 times the width l1 of the grid 11, and the thickness d1 of the baffle 12 is 5 to 30 mm. It is understood that increasing the thickness of the baffle 12 can better suppress metal particles entering the metal particle trap and reduce the probability of escape. Changes in the geometry of the baffle 12 also affect the capture and escape probabilities; using inverted trapezoidal, inverted triangular, or rhomboid interfaces can improve the capture probability of metal particles and reduce their escape probability.

[0056] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
