Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "front", "back", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the height-adjustable horizontal isolation ball gap device for DC superimposed impact testing proposed in this utility model includes a base 1, a support platform, a support device, and an adjustment device 19. There are two support platforms, both of which are mounted on the base 1. Each support platform is connected to an ignition ball 5 through the support device. There are multiple sets of adjustment devices 19, and the multiple sets of adjustment devices 19 are vertically mounted on the base 1. The adjustment device includes a screw 192, a connecting column 191, and a support leg 193. The screw 192 is threaded onto the support platform and its two ends extend to the top and bottom of the support platform, respectively. The connecting column 191 is fixed to the top of the screw 192, and the support leg 193 is fixed to the bottom of the screw 192.

[0027] The height of the base 1 can be adjusted by setting the adjustment device, which facilitates wiring during the test. Specifically, the connecting post 191 is set to facilitate the adaptation to external rotating tools, the screw 192 is engaged with the threaded hole pre-set on the base 1, and the support leg 193 can contact the ground. By rotating the connecting post 191, the screw 192 can be rotated, thereby adjusting the distance between the support leg 193 and the base 1, which is beneficial for wiring during the assembly stage.

[0028] The support platform includes a fixed platform 2 and a movable platform 14. A drive device is provided on the base to drive the movable platform 14 to move in order to adjust the distance between the two ignition balls 5.

[0029] In this scheme, the movable platform 14 is moved by the drive device, thereby adjusting the distance between the support device and the ignition ball 5, and thus controlling the ignition distance. This makes it easier to test the penetration distance. Compared with the traditional vertical test device, it occupies less space and is easier to control.

[0030] In this embodiment, the support device includes a flange seat 3, a support cylinder 4, and a transition connector 7. The flange seat 3 is used to connect with the fixed platform 2 or the movable platform 14. The support cylinder 4 is installed on the top of the flange seat 3 and is coaxially arranged with the flange seat 3. The transition connector 7 is installed on the top of the support cylinder 4 and is used to connect with the ignition ball 5.

[0031] See Figure 6The support sleeve 4 includes a first lifting sleeve 41, a second lifting sleeve 42, a third lifting sleeve 43, and a fourth lifting sleeve 44. All four sleeves are made of insulating material and are sequentially fitted together. The first lifting sleeve 41 is mounted on the top of the flange seat and contains a lifting device 45. The fourth lifting sleeve 44 contains a mounting plate 46, and the lifting end of the lifting device 45 is connected to the mounting plate 46. The lifting sleeves are conventional components that can be raised together and have a limiting structure. The specific structure is not described in detail. When the fourth lifting sleeve 44 rises to its upper limit under the action of the lifting device 45, it will raise the third lifting sleeve 43, and so on. To lower it, the operation is reversed. When wiring the ignition ball 5 is required, it can be lowered, and raised to the specified position during testing, without the need for a lifting platform, making operation convenient.

[0032] The lifting device 45 is an electric multi-section lifting rod or a multi-section lifting hydraulic rod. The first lifting sleeve 41 has corresponding mounting holes on its side wall for wiring of the lifting device 45. This is conventional technology, and the specific control and wiring details will not be elaborated further.

[0033] First, it should be noted that the fixed platform 2 is fixed to the surface of the base 1 to secure one of the ignition balls 5. The flange seat 3 is fixed to the fixed platform 2 or the movable platform 14 by fasteners, such as nuts. The support cylinder 4 supports the ignition ball 5 and maintains it at a certain height. The transition connector 7 connects the ignition ball 5 and the support cylinder 4. Since the movable platform 14 is movable, the spacing between the ignition balls 5 can be adjusted at a certain height. It should be further noted that an equalizing ring 6 is provided on the ignition ball 5. In high-voltage testing equipment, especially near high-voltage terminals, the concentrated electric field can lead to partial discharge or uneven electric field distribution. The equalizing ring 6 is designed to improve the electric field distribution.

[0034] Furthermore, the drive device includes a geared motor 13, a ball screw 9, and a ball nut 17. The geared motor 13 is fixed on the base 1. One end of the ball screw 9 is fixed to the output end of the geared motor 13 through a coupling 12. A ball screw mounting seat 11 is provided on the base 1. The other end of the ball screw 9 is mounted on the ball screw mounting seat 11. The ball nut 17 cooperates with the ball screw 9, and the ball screw 9 is embedded in the movable platform 14.

[0035] Specifically, the geared motor 13 drives the ball screw 9 to rotate under the action of the coupling 12, thereby cooperating with the ball nut 17 to allow the movable platform 14 to move along the driving direction of the drive device, thus realizing the movement of the movable platform 14 and adjusting the spacing between the ignition balls 5. It should be noted that since the high-voltage breakdown needs to be far away, the control device of the drive device can be set at a remote location, such as in the control room, to ensure the safety of the test.

[0036] Furthermore, rollers 15 are provided on both sides of the movable platform 14, allowing the movable platform 14 to move along the driving direction of the drive device via the rollers 15. Since the movable platform 14 and the base 1 are in a relatively movable state, the movement of the movable platform 14 is smoother and the resistance during movement is reduced when the drive device drives the movable platform 14 to move.

[0037] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with at least one set of guide structures. When the drive device drives the movable platform 14 to move, the movable platform 14 moves along the guide structures. The guide structures ensure that the movable platform 14 moves along the direction of the guide structures during the movement, making the movement more stable.

[0038] Specifically, the guide structure includes two guide rod fixing seats 10 fixed to the surface of the base 1, and a guide rod 8 passing through the movable platform 14 is provided between the two guide rod fixing seats 10.

[0039] During movement, the movable platform 14 moves along the guide rod 8, bringing the fixed platform 2 and the movable platform 14 closer together. In this embodiment, a guide nylon sleeve 16 is provided inside the movable platform 14, and the guide rod 8 passes through the guide nylon sleeve 16, allowing the movable platform 14 to move through the guide nylon sleeve 16. As an optional embodiment, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a lockable moving device to facilitate the movement and fixation of the testing device.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] The above specific embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
