Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation box for gas-insulated switchgear and a gas-insulated switchgear having the same. Background Technology
[0002] Gas-insulated switchgear is widely used in various applications, such as ring network power supply systems, due to its advantages of small footprint, maintenance-free operation, and high reliability. It typically uses sulfur hexafluoride gas to seal primary electrical components such as circuit breakers, disconnectors, and busbars inside the gas chamber to effectively prevent electrical breakdown and short circuits, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the gas-insulated switchgear.
[0003] Given that sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a high-temperature gas that exacerbates global warming, gas-insulated switchgear has recently begun to use environmentally friendly gases such as nitrogen or dry compressed air to replace SF6. However, while these environmentally friendly gases meet insulation requirements, their heat dissipation capacity is far weaker than that of SF6. This leads to excessive temperature rise in the gas chamber of the gas-insulated switchgear due to the large amount of heat generated by the internally located electrical components and their poor heat dissipation efficiency. This can adversely affect the operation of the electrical components and even the entire gas-insulated switchgear.
[0004] Therefore, there is a demand in this field for heat dissipation boxes with high heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0035] Figures 1 to 9 The present invention's gas-insulated switchgear 100 is illustrated by way of example. This example gas-insulated switchgear 100 may include a switch frame 20 and a heat dissipation box 10 disposed within the switch frame 20. The heat dissipation box 10 can accelerate the removal of heat generated by the electrical components during operation, thereby preventing overheating and performance degradation of the electrical components, thus improving the safety and reliability of the gas-insulated switchgear 100. It is understood that "vertical" as used herein refers to... Figure 2 The vertical direction is shown, and the horizontal direction is... Figure 2 The left and right directions shown, and the "vertical" direction is... Figure 2 The attached diagram shows the orientation of the page inside and outside.
[0036] Combination Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the heat dissipation box 10 may include a box body 11 and a heat dissipation component 12.
[0037] Specifically, the air box body 11 is generally designed to extend vertically, and its interior forms an installation cavity for arranging electrical components and filling with insulating gas such as environmentally friendly air. A heat dissipation opening communicating with the installation cavity may be provided at the upper end. A heat dissipation component 12 can be arranged at the heat dissipation opening of the air box body 11, thereby guiding the cold air inside the air box upwards to the heat dissipation component 12 to form thermal convection, thus improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0038] The heat dissipation component 12 may include a heat dissipation cylinder 121 and a heat dissipation structure 122. The heat dissipation cylinder 121 may be generally designed to extend vertically and have a connection opening 1211 at the lower end. The size and shape of the connection opening 1211 may be designed to fit the heat dissipation opening of the air box body 11, so that the heat dissipation opening of the air box body 11 can be sealed to the connection opening 1211 of the heat dissipation cylinder 121, thereby sealing the heat dissipation component 12 to the upper side of the air box body 11.
[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the internal space of the switch frame 20 can be designed to just accommodate the gas box body 11. The heat dissipation component 12 can be arranged on the upper side of the switch frame 20 and pass through the switch frame 20 to connect with the gas box body 11. This avoids occupying the internal space of the switch frame 20 to maximize the volume of the gas box body 11, and also keeps the structure of the gas-insulated switch cabinet 100 as compact as possible.
[0040] Furthermore, combined Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the heat dissipation structure 122 may include an annular member 1221 and multiple heat sinks 1222. The annular member 1221 may be designed as a vertically extending ring structure with open upper and lower ends, and may be generally arranged in the upper part of the heat dissipation cylinder 121. The multiple heat sinks 1222 may be distributed circumferentially at intervals on the outer circumferential surface of the annular member 1221, preferably evenly spaced circumferentially. For a single heat sink 1222, the upper end of the heat sink 1222 may be generally flush with the annular member 1221, and extend from top to bottom on the annular member 1221 beyond the annular member 1221, preferably extending into the lower part of the interior of the heat dissipation cylinder 121.
[0041] Therefore, by means of the ends of multiple heat sinks 1222 opposite to the annular member 1221 connected to the inner circumferential surface of the heat dissipation cylinder 121, the annular member 1221 can be connected to the inner side of the heat dissipation cylinder 121 via the multiple heat sinks 1222, for example, by welding to achieve a tight connection with the heat dissipation cylinder 121. This not only increases the heat dissipation area of the heat dissipation component 12, but also forms multiple vertically extending air channels separated by the heat dissipation component 12 inside the heat dissipation cylinder 121, thereby further accelerating heat convection and improving the heat dissipation effect. Optionally, the lower end of the heat sink 1222 near the annular side is provided with an inclined portion 1223, which can facilitate the upward guidance of hot air through the heat dissipation component 12.
[0042] Preferably, the air box body 11, the heat dissipation cylinder 121 and the heat dissipation structure 122 can be made of aluminum. Compared with conventional stainless steel, aluminum has better heat dissipation performance, thus further improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation air box 10.
[0043] Optionally, in the illustrated embodiment, as Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the heat dissipation box 10 also includes a plurality of first heat dissipation components 13, such as heat dissipation fins. The plurality of first heat dissipation components 13 are distributed circumferentially at intervals on the outer peripheral surface of the heat dissipation cylinder 121, preferably evenly spaced circumferentially and tightly connected, for example, by welding, to the heat dissipation cylinder 121. The plurality of first heat dissipation components 13 on the outer side of the heat dissipation cylinder 121 are arranged opposite to the plurality of heat dissipation fins 1222 on the inner side of the heat dissipation cylinder 121, and each first heat dissipation component 13 extends vertically and its circumferential dimension is larger than the circumferential dimension of the corresponding heat dissipation fin 1222, thereby improving heat conduction and heat radiation from the inside of the heat dissipation box 10 to the external environment, and thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation box 10 of this invention.
[0044] Optionally, in the illustrated embodiment, as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the heat sink 121 can be generally designed as a vertically extending cylindrical shape, preferably cast from aluminum. The upper end of the heat sink 121 can be designed as an installation opening 1212 for removable connection of the cover plate 14, which facilitates sealing of the heat sink 121 after the heat dissipation structure 122 is installed inside the heat sink 121. The installation opening 1212 of the heat sink 121 can communicate with the connection opening 1211 at the lower end of the heat sink 121 through the internal space of the heat sink 121, thereby guiding hot air in the air box to the upper side of the heat sink 121.
[0045] In addition, such as 6 to Figure 8 As shown, the diameter of the connection opening 1211 of the heat sink 121 can be smaller than the diameter of the mounting opening 1212, so as to ensure the sealed connection between the heat sink 121 and the air box body 11 through the smaller connection opening 1211. The larger mounting opening 1212 can provide sufficient mounting area for the second heat sink 15 on the cover plate 14, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0046] Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the heat dissipation chamber 10 may further include a plurality of second heat dissipation components 15, such as heat dissipation fins. The plurality of second heat dissipation components 15 are arranged on the upper side of the cover plate 14 to enhance heat conduction and heat radiation from the interior of the heat dissipation cylinder 121 through the cover plate 14 and the second heat dissipation components 15 to the external environment, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation chamber 10. Preferably, the second heat dissipation components 15 may be detachably arranged on the upper side of the cover plate 14, so that the user can increase or decrease the number of second heat dissipation components 15 as needed.
[0047] Optionally, in the illustrated embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air box body 11 may include a first box 111 and a second box 112. Both the first box 111 and the second box 112 may be designed as cylindrical structures made of cast aluminum, which is not only easy to manufacture, but also improves the heat dissipation effect of the air box body 11 compared with conventional stainless steel materials.
[0048] The first housing 111 may include a laterally extending receiving cylindrical section 1111 and a support cylindrical section 1112 extending upward from the upper side of the receiving cylindrical section 1111. Both the receiving cylindrical section 1111 and the support cylindrical section 1112 may be designed in a cylindrical shape, and the support cylindrical section 1112 may smoothly transition into and communicate with the receiving cylindrical section 1111. The second housing 112 may be generally constructed as a vertically extending cylindrical shape, and its diameter may be smaller than the diameter of the receiving cylindrical section 1111 to accommodate the internal space structure of the switch frame 20 and allow the user to arrange components as needed inside the second housing 112 and the receiving cylindrical section 1111.
[0049] The upper end of the support cylinder section 1112 of the first housing 111 is connected to the lower end of the second housing 112, so that the second housing 112 is connected to the first housing 111 and supported by the first housing 111. The upper end of the second housing 112 is designed as the aforementioned heat dissipation opening, so as to be sealed to the heat dissipation component 12 above the second housing 112, thereby extending the vertical heat convection path to improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0050] Optionally, in the illustrated embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the heat dissipation box 10 may also include a support frame 16, which may be arranged on the lower side of both axial ends of the housing cylindrical section 1111, so as to securely install the heat dissipation box 10 into the switch frame 20.
[0051] In addition, the lower side of the accommodating cylindrical section 1111 is provided with an attachment cylindrical section 1113 that extends downward and smoothly transitions with the accommodating cylindrical section 1111. The outer periphery of the second housing 112 may be provided with a transversely extending cylindrical section 1122 that extends outward in the lateral direction and a longitudinally extending cylindrical section 1123 that extends outward in the longitudinal direction. Both the transversely extending cylindrical section 1122 and the longitudinally extending cylindrical section 1123 smoothly transition with the second housing 112 and communicate with its interior, thereby ensuring sufficient installation space inside the gas box body 11. Furthermore, the axial ends of the accommodating cylindrical section 1111, the axial ends of the attachment cylindrical section 1113 away from the accommodating cylindrical section 1111, the axial ends of the transversely extending cylindrical section 1122, and the axial ends of the longitudinally extending cylindrical section 1123 can all be designed as connection ends for connecting and cooperating with other electrical or mechanical components within the switch frame 20.
[0052] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to various embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0053] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, and combinations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
