The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0040] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a switchgear testing device. The switchgear testing device includes a housing 11 and a power module, a three-position controller 3, and a circuit breaker controller 4 disposed within the housing 11.
[0041] The power supply module is equipped with a first power transmission terminal 241, a second power transmission terminal 242, a third power transmission terminal, and a fourth power transmission terminal. The third power transmission terminal is used for electrical connection to the three-station mechanism under test, and the fourth power transmission terminal is used for electrical connection to the circuit breaker under test. The three-station controller 3 is equipped with a first power connection terminal 31 and a first control terminal. The first power connection terminal 31 is connected to the first power transmission terminal 241, and the first control terminal is used for communication connection to the three-station mechanism under test. The circuit breaker controller 4 is equipped with a second power connection terminal 41 and a second control terminal. The second power connection terminal 41 is connected to the second power transmission terminal 242, and the second control terminal is used for communication connection to the circuit breaker under test.
[0042] The three-position controller 3 and the circuit breaker controller 4 obtain power from the first and second power transmission terminals 241 and 242 on the power supply module through their respective power connection terminals. The three-position controller 3 and the circuit breaker controller 4 communicate with the three-position mechanism under test and the circuit breaker under test through their respective control terminals to implement precise control of the three-position mechanism under test and the circuit breaker under test, and can also collect test data. The third and fourth power transmission terminals on the power supply module ensure that this testing device can provide stable power to the three-position mechanism under test and the circuit breaker under test, enabling them to perform actions under control commands. Therefore, in the case of on-site installation and maintenance, the connection between the control module of the high-voltage switchgear and the circuit breaker under test and the three-position mechanism under test can be completely disconnected, allowing this testing device to independently power and control the test, avoiding interference with the central control room.
[0043] The switchgear testing device integrates the power module, three-position controller 3 and circuit breaker controller 4 into the enclosure 11, achieving integration and facilitating independent testing of the vacuum circuit breaker and three-position mechanism of the switchgear, avoiding interference from the switchgear's own controller in the main control room; moreover, its integration into the enclosure 11 makes it easy to carry.
[0044] In this embodiment, the box 11 includes a main body and a lid, with the lid covering the opening of the main body to achieve closure. The lid and the main body are pressed together by a sealing ring to ensure that the box 11 is sealed and waterproof.
[0045] To further facilitate carrying, a carrying handle 12 may be optionally provided on the outer side of the switch cabinet testing device enclosure. Specifically, carrying handles 12 are provided on both the left and right sides of the enclosure.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the power supply module includes an AC output module 21 and a rectifier-transformer module 22. The AC output module 21 is electrically connected to the rectifier-transformer module 22, and the rectifier-transformer module 22 is provided with a first transmission terminal 241 and a second transmission terminal 242. The AC output module 21 provides raw AC power, and the rectifier-transformer module 22 converts the AC power into DC voltage suitable for the three-position controller 3 and the circuit breaker controller 4. The input port of the AC output module 21 can be connected to an external power source, such as a 220V or 380V AC power source. Specifically, the input port of the AC output module 21 is exposed outside the enclosure wall of the housing 11. The rectifier-transformer module 22 is provided with a rectifier bridge and a transformer, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0047] like Figure 2As shown, optionally, the power module also includes a backup battery 23, the output terminals of which are electrically connected to the input terminals of the rectifier transformer module 22. In the event of an AC power failure or a lack of power distribution due to a newly installed system, the backup battery 23 can promptly supply power to the test device to test the three-station mechanism and the circuit breaker under test. This improves the convenience of the test, ensures that the test process will not be interrupted due to power problems, guarantees the continuity of the test work, avoids data loss or inaccurate test results due to power outages, and helps ensure the integrity of the test.
[0048] Specifically, the backup battery 23 is a lithium secondary battery, which is installed and fixed on the bottom plate of the enclosure 11. The charging port of the backup battery 23 is located on the wall of the enclosure 11.
[0049] Optionally, the switchgear testing device also includes a circuit protection component. The AC output module 21 and / or the backup battery 23 are connected to the input terminals of the circuit protection component, and the output terminals of the circuit protection component are connected to the rectifier transformer module 22. The circuit protection component can effectively prevent damage to the internal circuit of the testing device caused by circuit overload, short circuit and other faults, ensure the electrical safety of the testing device, extend the service life of the equipment, and also protect the personal safety of the operators.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the circuit protection component includes an air switch 5. Air switch 5, as a common circuit protection component, is characterized by its intuitive operation and rapid response. When a circuit abnormality occurs, air switch 5 can quickly and automatically disconnect the circuit, preventing the fault from escalating. Moreover, after the fault is cleared, the circuit can be restored through a simple closing operation, which is convenient and quick, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0051] Specifically, there are two air switches 5, one of which is connected between the backup battery 23 and the rectifier transformer module 22, and the other air switch 5 is connected between the AC output module 21 and the rectifier transformer module 22.
[0052] Optionally, the AC output module 21 is provided with a third power supply terminal and a fourth power supply terminal. That is, the third and fourth power supply terminals of the power supply module are integrated on the AC output module 21. The AC output module 21 directly provides AC power to the three-position mechanism under test and the circuit breaker under test, thus isolating the three-position mechanism under test and the circuit breaker under test on the switch cabinet from the switch cabinet, eliminating the need to use the switch cabinet power supply, and avoiding interference with the central control room.
[0053] Furthermore, the switchgear testing device also includes a third power supply line and a fourth power supply line. The third and fourth power supply terminals are exposed outside the enclosure wall of the housing 11. One end of the third power supply line is connected to the third power supply terminal via a quick-connect connector, and one end of the fourth power supply line is connected to the fourth power supply terminal via a quick-connect connector. The other end of the third power supply line is also equipped with a quick-connect connector for easy connection to the three-station mechanism under test. The other end of the fourth power supply line is also equipped with a quick-connect connector for easy connection to the circuit breaker under test.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the enclosure 11 is equipped with an isolation control switch 14 and a grounding control switch 15 on its walls. Both the isolation control switch 14 and the grounding control switch 15 are connected to the three-position controller 3. The enclosure 11 is also equipped with a circuit breaker control switch 16 on its walls, and the circuit breaker controller 4 is connected to the circuit breaker control switch 16. Operators can directly control the three-position controller 3 and the circuit breaker controller 4 by issuing different execution commands through the control switches on the enclosure walls, thereby enabling the three-position mechanism under test and the circuit breaker under test to perform corresponding actions. This is convenient and quick, improving the operability and efficiency of on-site testing.
[0055] Specifically, the isolating control switch 14 can control the opening or closing of the isolating switch in the three-position mechanism via the three-position controller 3. The grounding control switch 15 can control the opening or closing of the grounding switch in the three-position mechanism via the three-position controller 3. The circuit breaker control switch 16 can control the closing, opening, and energy storage of the circuit breaker via the circuit breaker controller 4. The isolating control switch 14, the grounding control switch 15, and the circuit breaker control switch 16 can all be knobs.
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, a status indicator light 17 is provided on the wall of the enclosure 11, and the circuit breaker controller 4 is connected to the status indicator light 17. The status indicator light 17 displays the operating status of the circuit breaker under test in real time and intuitively. During the test, the operator can quickly understand whether the circuit breaker under test is in the closed, open, or energy storage state by observing the status indicator light 17, promptly identify problems and take corresponding measures, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the test. Specifically, there are three status indicator lights 17, each with a different color, indicating the closed, open, and energy storage states respectively.
[0057] like Figure 1As shown, optionally, a status observation hole is provided on the wall of the housing 11, and an openable and closable sealing plate 13 is provided at the status observation hole, which is directly opposite the three-station controller 3. During normal testing, the sealing plate 13 is closed to protect the three-station controller 3 from external environmental influences, such as dust or moisture. When it is necessary to observe the status of the three-station controller 3, the sealing plate 13 can be opened for observation, which allows the operator to keep track of the working status of the three-station controller 3 at any time, while ensuring the protective performance of the equipment. Specifically, the status observation hole is rectangular, and the upper end of the sealing plate 13 is hinged to the upper edge of the status observation hole.
[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, a mounting rail 18 is provided on the inner side wall of the housing 11. The cross-section of the mounting rail 18 is U-shaped, and the three-station controller 3 is provided with a through T-slot 32. The T-slot 32 is inserted into the mounting rail 18 along its length. This design makes it easy and convenient to install and remove the three-station controller 3 from the housing 11. When maintaining, upgrading, or replacing parts of the testing device, the three-station controller 3 can be quickly removed from or reinstalled on the housing 11. Moreover, through the cooperation of the T-slot 32 and the mounting rail 18, the position of the three-station controller 3 within the housing 11 along the length of the mounting rail 18 can be adjusted according to actual needs, improving the flexibility of the layout. Specifically, the mounting rail 18 is bolted to the rear side wall of the housing 11 and extends along... Figure 2 The left and right extension shown facilitates adjustment of the position of the three-station controller 3.
[0059] In this embodiment, the enclosure 11 is generally rectangular. The status observation hole, status indicator light 17, isolation control switch 14, grounding control switch 15, and circuit breaker control switch 16 are all located on the front wall of the enclosure 11. The circuit breaker controller 4, rectifier transformer module 22, and mounting rail 18 are all fixed to the rear inner wall of the enclosure 11 with screws. Two air switches 5 are slidably mounted on the mounting rail 18 via T-slots.
[0060] The working process of the switchgear testing device provided in this embodiment is as follows: The third power transmission terminal is connected to the power interface of the three-station mechanism under test via the third power transmission line, and the fourth power transmission terminal is connected to the power interface of the circuit breaker under test via the fourth power transmission line. The circuit breaker controller 4 is operated by the circuit breaker control switch 16 on the box wall to perform opening and closing tests on the circuit breaker under test. During the test, the display of the status indicator light 17 is observed to understand the working status of the circuit breaker under test in real time. If the status indicator light 17 shows an abnormality, the test is stopped immediately, and the circuit breaker and related connection lines are checked. The three-station controller 3 is operated by the isolation control switch 14 and the grounding control switch 15 on the box wall to perform corresponding tests on the three-station mechanism under test. During the test, the operating status of the three-station controller 3 can be observed through the status observation hole to ensure that the test is carried out normally. Throughout the test, the power module continuously and stably supplies power to this testing device and each device under test. If the mains power fails, the backup battery 23 automatically starts to ensure uninterrupted testing. At the same time, in the event of overload, short circuit or other faults, the air switch 5 quickly cuts off the circuit to protect the safety of the testing device. After completing all test items, first stop the control operation of the three-position mechanism and circuit breaker using the control switch. Disconnect the third and fourth power transmission lines from the three-position mechanism and circuit breaker under test.
