Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disconnector switch technology, and specifically to a finger mounting device. Background Technology

[0002] Disconnect switches are common equipment in substations, widely present and numerous. When installing contact fingers for major repairs due to faults or maintenance, the internal structure of the contacts necessitates manual pressing of the contact fingers when replacing the disconnect switch springs. Chinese patent CN203617176U proposes a contact finger installation tool for disconnect switches. While this tool makes contact finger installation more convenient and labor-saving, in practice, it requires manually opening the first, second, third, and fourth fixing plates to insert the end of the contact finger. Then, tightening the nuts closes the fixing plates. Due to limited manpower, multiple nuts cannot be tightened manually simultaneously; usually, only one side is tightened first. When closing the plates, uneven force may cause deformation or loosening of the contact finger, affecting installation efficiency. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

Each support column has a first support base and a second support base at both ends. The first support base has a first extension column and a first guide rod. The first fixing plate is slidably connected to the first extension column, and the second fixing plate is slidably connected to the first extension column and the first guide rod. The ends of both the first extension column and the first guide rod are connected to a first connecting plate. The first guide rod on one of the first support bases is replaced with a first screw, and the two ends of the first screw are respectively connected to the first support base and the first connecting plate. The system includes a rotating connection between the connecting plate and the second fixing plate, and a threaded connection between the second fixing plate and the first screw. It also includes a first driving device for driving the first screw to rotate. The second support base has a second extension column and a second guide rod. The third fixing plate is slidably connected to the second extension column, and the fourth fixing plate is slidably connected to the second extension column and the second guide rod. The ends of the second extension column and the second guide rod are each connected to a second connecting plate. The second guide rod on one of the second support bases is replaced by a second screw. The two ends of the second screw are rotatably connected to the second support base and the second connecting plate, respectively. The fourth fixing plate is threadedly connected to the second screw. The system also includes a second driving device for driving the second screw to rotate.

[0005] Using the above technical solution, during installation, the sliding first and second fixing plates clamp one end of the knife switch contact finger. The first driving device is activated, driving the first screw to rotate, which in turn moves the first and second fixing plates along the first guide rod, retracting one end of the knife switch contact finger. The sliding third and fourth fixing plates clamp the other end of the knife switch contact finger. The second driving device is activated, driving the second screw to rotate, which in turn moves the third and fourth fixing plates along the second guide rod, retracting the other end of the knife switch contact finger. The force on the contact finger is more balanced during the retraction process, reducing the occurrence of deformation or loosening.

[0006] As a further optimization of this utility model, both the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are provided with a first through hole, which is slidably connected to the first extension column; the second fixing plate is provided with a second through hole, which is slidably connected to the first guide rod; both the third fixing plate and the fourth fixing plate are provided with a third through hole, which is slidably connected to the second extension column; and the fourth fixing plate is provided with a fourth through hole, which is slidably connected to the second guide rod.

[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the first fixing plate is provided with a first screw hole and is threadedly connected to the first screw, and the fourth fixing plate is provided with a second screw hole and is threadedly connected to the second screw.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the first driving device is a first motor mounted on a first support base, and the output end of the first motor is connected to a first screw; the second driving device is a second motor mounted on a second support base, and the output end of the second motor is connected to a second screw.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During installation, the sliding first fixing plate and the second fixing plate clamp one end of the knife switch contact finger. The first driving device is activated, driving the first screw to rotate, thereby driving the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate to move along the first guide rod, thus retracting one end of the knife switch contact finger. The sliding third fixing plate and the fourth fixing plate clamp the other end of the knife switch contact finger. The second driving device is activated, driving the second screw to rotate, thereby driving the third fixing plate and the fourth fixing plate to move along the second guide rod, thus retracting the other end of the knife switch contact finger. The force on the contact finger during the retraction process is more balanced, reducing the occurrence of deformation or loosening. Attached Figure Description
