Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a gas-insulated ring network switchgear. Background Technology
[0002] A ring main unit is an electrical device consisting of a group of high-voltage switchgear assembled into a ring network power supply unit. A ring network refers to a ring distribution network, in which the power supply trunk line forms a closed loop. The power supply source supplies power to this ring trunk line, and then distributes the power outwards through high-voltage switchgear line one by one. Its core components include load switches, circuit breakers, and disconnect switches, and it has the advantages of simple structure, small size, low price, and safe power supply.
[0003] Gas-insulated ring main units are widely used in substations and prefabricated substations in load centers such as urban residential areas, high-rise buildings, large public buildings, and factories. The switches, busbars, and supporting insulation components are housed in a fully enclosed metal casing filled with low-pressure sulfur hexafluoride gas as the arc-quenching and insulating medium, and connected to external cables through sealed bushings. However, existing gas-insulated ring main units still have structural design flaws, specifically:
[0004] (1) An unreasonable structural design results in a large product size, a large space occupation, which is not conducive to equipment miniaturization and has a high overall project cost.
[0005] (2) The selection of components is unreasonable and the structural design is not modular or standardized, which is not conducive to mass production and large-scale production, resulting in high production costs.
[0006] (3) The unreasonable design of the stainless steel gas box affects the welding of the gas box, the installation of components, and the assembly of the switch cabinet, resulting in more production processes, inconvenient debugging and testing, and high labor intensity.
[0007] (4) The design structure is unreasonable, which is not conducive to the maintenance and subsequent repair of the product during operation, and it is not convenient to replace parts on site. The cost of subsequent repair and maintenance is high. For example, the fully welded air box (the components are sealed and welded after installation) can only be opened after the air box is cut.

The two ends of the third reinforcing beam extend to both sides of the rear cover plate.
[0014] The integrated gas box of this invention has all sealing sleeves at the same height, which facilitates the connection of external cables to the switchgear.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:
[0016] (1) The air box of each cabinet of this utility model adopts an integrated air box.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. 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 protection scope of this utility model.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figures 1-11 The image shown is a gas-insulated ring network switchgear according to this utility model. (See attached image.) Figure 1It consists of a cable lifting cabinet 1 (D cabinet), a circuit breaker cabinet 2 (V cabinet), a load switch cabinet 3 (C cabinet), and a control room 4, referred to as the DVC scheme. The cable lifting cabinet 1, circuit breaker cabinet 2, and load switch cabinet 3 are arranged side-by-side from left to right. The air boxes for the cable lifting cabinet 1, circuit breaker cabinet 2, and load switch cabinet 3 are integrated air boxes 5, which are U-shaped. The air box for circuit breaker cabinet 2 is the central space of the integrated air box 5, the air box for cable lifting cabinet 1 is the left side space, and the air box for load switch cabinet 3 is the right side space. The control room 4 is used to install secondary instruments and control systems, and is located on both sides of the circuit breaker cabinet 2 and on top of the load switch cabinet 3 and cable lifting cabinet 1.
[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cable lifting cabinet 1 has no major components and consists of a first conductive element 1.1, a first connecting copper busbar 1.2, a first supporting insulator 1.3, a second connecting copper busbar 1.4, and a first sealing sleeve 1.5. Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the main components of the circuit breaker cabinet 2 are the circuit breaker 2.3 and the three-position switch 2.2, including the second conductive element 2.1 and the second sealing sleeve 2.5; the vacuum interrupter 2.4 is the core component of the circuit breaker 2.3.
[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the main components inside the load switch cabinet 3 are the load switch 3.2, including the third conductive component 3.1, the second supporting insulator 3.3, the third connecting copper busbar 3.4, and the third sealing sleeve 3.5.
[0040] The connection relationships between the components in the above cabinets are existing technologies.
[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in the DVC scheme of the gas-insulated ring network switchgear, the primary components of the cable lifting cabinet 1, circuit breaker cabinet 2, and load switch cabinet 3 are all installed in the same gas box (i.e., integrated gas box 5). The operating mechanisms of the circuit breaker cabinet 2 and the load switch cabinet 3 are located at the front of their respective cabinets, that is, in front of the gas box.
[0042] like Figures 6-9As shown, the integrated gas box 5 has a convex shape. This convex structure not only accommodates the arrangement of components inside the gas box but also saves space and facilitates the layout of the switchgear control room 4. All the sealing sleeves, namely the first sealing sleeve 1.5, the second sealing sleeve 2.5, and the third sealing sleeve 3.5, have the same height, which facilitates the external cable connection of the switchgear. This design satisfies the functional requirements of each cabinet while minimizing the gas box volume, lowering the center of gravity, and ensuring structural stability, making it less prone to tipping and damage during the installation and transportation of the switchgear.
[0043] For ease of component installation and subsequent maintenance, such as Figure 7 As shown, the integrated gas box 5 has a circuit breaker mounting hole 5.3 on its front side; as Figure 6 As shown, the back of the integrated gas box 5 has component mounting holes 5.1 for other components. The integrated gas box 5 contains a first reinforcing beam 5.2 and a second reinforcing beam 5.4. The first reinforcing beam 5.2, which does not interfere with the components, is welded to the integrated gas box 5 as a whole. The second reinforcing beam 5.4, which interferes with the components, is connected to the integrated gas box 5 as a whole by welding nuts, bolts, etc., ensuring the smooth installation of the circuit breaker 2.3, load switch 3.2, disconnector 2.2, first conductive component 1.1, first connecting copper busbar 1.2, first supporting insulator 1.3, second connecting copper busbar 1.4, first sealing sleeve 1.5, second conductive component 2.1, second sealing sleeve 2.5, third conductive component 3.1, second supporting insulator 3.3, third connecting copper busbar 3.4, and third sealing sleeve 3.5. All the reinforcing beams serve to prevent deformation of the gas box and to support the installation of primary components.
[0044] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, a removable rear cover plate 6 is provided on the component mounting hole 5.1 of the integrated air box 5 to ensure the reliability of the air box seal. The rear cover plate 6 is a stainless steel plate formed by one-time cold pressing (with good tensile properties, rust prevention, and the same material as the air box 5). It is provided with a molded protruding sealing ring groove 6.2 and a molded I-shaped reinforcing rib 6.1 (which serves to strengthen and prevent air leakage due to stretching). The groove of the sealing ring groove 6.2 is located on the inner plate surface of the rear cover plate 6, and a sealing ring is set in the sealing ring groove 6.2. A third reinforcing beam 6.3 is welded on the outer plate surface of the rear cover plate 6. The cross-section of the third reinforcing beam 6.3 is Π-shaped. The middle part of the reinforcing rib 6.1 is located inside the third reinforcing beam 6.3, and the two ends of the third reinforcing beam 6.3 extend to the two side edges of the rear cover plate 6 to ensure the installation of the sealing ring and the strength of the rear cover plate 6.
[0045] Because the air box is inflated, the back cover plate itself (including the reinforcing ribs and sealing ring groove) which is pressed in one piece must have good sealing performance. That is, the back cover plate itself, especially the tensile reinforcing ribs and sealing groove, must not have any air leakage points. Then, the sealing ring is placed in the sealing ring groove, and the sealing ring is pressed tightly during installation. The air box can be guaranteed to be sealed and will not leak.
[0046] After the components inside the integrated air box 5 are installed and checked to be correct, the rear cover plate 6 is installed, thus completing the assembly of the integrated air box 5. In special cases, if it is necessary to open the air box 5, the rear cover plate 6 can be removed to perform internal inspection and component replacement of the integrated air box 5.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the gas-insulated ring network switchgear consists of two load switch cabinets 3 and one circuit breaker cabinet 2, with the circuit breaker cabinet 2 in the center, i.e., the CVC scheme is adopted.
[0049] In other embodiments, the positions of the cable lifting cabinet 1 and the load switch cabinet 3 in Embodiment 1 can be interchanged, that is, the load switch cabinet 3 is located on the left, the cable lifting cabinet 1 is located on the right, and the circuit breaker cabinet 2 is in the middle. This is the CVD scheme.
[0050] The convex-shaped structure of the integrated gas box is symmetrical from left to right. Without changing the external dimensions of the gas box or the welded reinforcing beams, by rationally selecting components and changing the non-welded reinforcing beams, the number of gas-insulated ring network switchgear options can be increased, which can further expand the application range of the gas box and facilitate the standardized production of the gas box.
