Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a high-voltage switchgear with reliable grounding. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of power systems, high-voltage switchgear is widely used in various substations, distribution rooms, and other places, undertaking the important task of power distribution, control, and protection. However, in actual operating environments, its grounding reliability faces many challenges. Among them, the impact of soil characteristics on grounding effect is particularly prominent. In some areas, soil moisture content is significantly affected by seasonal and climatic factors, and dryness is very likely to occur. When the soil is dry, the electrolyte solution between soil particles decreases, causing the soil resistivity to increase significantly. High-voltage switchgear that relies on grounding conductors to conduct fault current to the ground cannot deliver the current to the ground in time, posing a great safety hazard to the high-voltage switchgear and its internal components. However, traditional high-voltage switchgear grounding systems often lack targeted countermeasures. Grounding conductors are usually simply buried in the soil without considering the long-term impact of soil dryness on grounding effect. When the groundwater level drops, there is no rainfall for a long time, or the soil dries out due to high temperature exposure, the grounding resistance increases sharply, the grounding current cannot pass smoothly, and the fault energy cannot be dissipated quickly, greatly increasing the risk of equipment damage and electric shock to personnel.

[0019] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, a specific embodiment is provided below, and the utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] See Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a high-voltage switchgear with reliable grounding, including a cabinet 1, a grounding terminal 2, a water storage tank 3, a connecting conductor 4, a grounding conductor 5, and a resistivity adjustment mechanism. The grounding terminal 2 is located on the bottom surface of the cabinet 1, the top surface of the water storage tank 3 is connected to the bottom surface of the cabinet 1, the top end of the connecting conductor 4 is connected to the grounding terminal 2, and its bottom end passes through the water storage tank 3 and connects to the grounding conductor 5, which is located in the soil. The resistivity adjustment mechanism includes an embedded tube 6, a solenoid valve 7, a rotating ring 8, an actuating rod 9, a normally open button 10, a battery pack 11, and... The rotary drive mechanism includes an embedded tube 6 embedded in the bottom surface of the water tank 3 in a ring shape, a solenoid valve 7 mounted on the embedded tube 6, a rotating ring 8 whose top surface is rotatably connected to the inner top surface of the water tank 3, an actuating rod 9 mounted on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating ring 8, a normally open button 10 arranged in a ring shape on the inner top surface of the water tank 3 and located on the moving path of the actuating rod 9, and a battery pack 11 mounted inside the cabinet 1. Each solenoid valve 7 forms a circuit with the battery pack 11 through a single normally open button 10. The rotary drive mechanism is used to drive the rotating ring 8 to rotate.
[0021] The bottom of the cabinet 1 is equipped with a grounding terminal 2. A grounding conductor 5 is buried underground in the area where the cabinet 1 is installed. The grounding conductor 5 is set vertically. The grounding terminal 2 and the grounding conductor 5 are connected by a connecting conductor 4, which is a grounding wire. When there is static electricity on the cabinet 1 or when it becomes electrified due to a malfunction of the internal electrical equipment, the current on the cabinet 1 can be conducted into the soil through the grounding terminal 2, the connecting conductor 4, and the grounding conductor 5, so as to prevent the surface of the cabinet 1 from becoming electrified and thus prevent workers from touching the cabinet 1 and getting an electric shock.
[0022] A water storage tank 3 is installed on the bottom surface of the cabinet 1. The water storage tank 3 contains water. Several embedded pipes 6 are embedded in a ring on the bottom surface of the water storage tank 3. Solenoid valves 7 are installed on the embedded pipes 6. When the solenoid valves 7 are energized, they can be opened, so that the water in the water storage tank 3 can be injected into the soil through the embedded pipes 6, increasing the soil moisture, reducing the resistivity, and thus improving the grounding reliability. The ring structure of the embedded pipes 6 can allow water to be injected into different locations in the soil, further improving the grounding reliability.
[0023] A rotating ring 8 is installed on the inner top surface of the water storage tank 3. The rotating drive mechanism can drive the rotating ring 8 to rotate. During the rotation, the rod 9 on the inner circumference of the rotating ring 8 can trigger the normally open button 10 arranged in a ring on the inner top surface of the water storage tank 3. Each solenoid valve 7 forms a circuit with the battery pack 11 through the normally open button 10. When one of the normally open buttons 10 is triggered to the closed state, the solenoid valve 7 can receive electrical energy from the battery pack 11 and open. Water in the water storage tank 3 can flow out from the corresponding embedded pipe 6 to realize water injection. By controlling the rotation of the rotating ring 8, different water injection pipes 19 can be opened in sequence to inject water into different positions of the soil and uniformly reduce the resistivity of the soil around the grounding conductor 5.
[0024] Preferably, the top surface of the water storage tank 3 is provided with a receiving groove 12, and the grounding terminal 2 is located in the receiving groove 12.
[0025] Since the grounding terminal 2 is located at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and the water storage tank 3 is also located at the bottom of the cabinet 1, in order to ensure the installation of the grounding terminal 2, a receiving groove 12 is provided on the top surface of the water storage tank 3 so that the grounding terminal 2 can be placed in the receiving groove 12.
[0026] Preferably, the rotary drive mechanism includes a waterproof motor 13, a gear 14, and a rack 15. The waterproof motor 13 is embedded in the top surface of the water storage tank 3, and its output shaft is connected to the gear 14. The rack 15 is arranged circumferentially along the outer circumferential surface of the rotating ring 8, and the gear 14 meshes with the rack 15.
[0027] The waterproof motor 13 can drive the gear 14 to rotate, and the gear 14 drives the rotating ring 8 to rotate through the rack 15, so as to trigger the normally open button 10 in different positions through the actuating rod 9.
[0028] Preferably, a T-shaped block 16 is provided on the top surface of the rotating ring 8, and a T-shaped ring groove 17 is provided on the inner top surface of the water storage tank 3, with the T-shaped block located in the T-shaped ring groove 17.
[0029] When the rotating ring 8 rotates, the T-shaped block 16 can move along the T-shaped ring groove 17 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the rotating ring 8, so that the actuating rod 9 can accurately trigger the normally open button 10.
[0030] Preferably, the resistivity adjustment mechanism further includes an electric push rod 18, which is disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating ring 8, and its output shaft is connected to the bottom end of the actuating rod 9.
[0031] The electric push rod 18 can drive the actuating rod 9 to rise and fall. When the actuating rod 9 falls, its rotation process will not trigger the normally open button 10, so the normally open button 10 at a certain position can be selectively triggered to facilitate targeted water injection.
[0032] Preferably, the resistivity adjustment mechanism further includes a water injection pipe 19, the bottom end of which is located inside the water storage tank 3, and the top end of which extends into the side wall of the cabinet 1. The side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a water inlet hole 20, and the top end of the water injection pipe 19 is connected to the water inlet hole 20.
[0033] After water is injected into the water inlet 20, the water can be replenished into the water storage tank 3 through the water injection pipe 19 to ensure that the water storage tank 3 has sufficient water.
[0034] Preferably, it includes a water receiving shell 21, which is located on the outside of the cabinet 1 with an open top, and the water inlet 20 is located inside the water receiving shell 21.
[0035] The water receiving shell 21 forms a sealed structure with the outside of the cabinet 1, with only the top open. When it rains, rainwater can enter the water receiving shell 21 and enter the water injection pipe 19 through the water inlet 20. The rainwater can be injected into the soil, which can reduce costs and improve the utilization rate of water resources.
