Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of overvoltage protection resistors, specifically relating to a quick replacement device for surge arresters. Background Technology

[0002] A surge arrester is an electrical device used to protect power systems and electrical equipment from damage caused by lightning overvoltages or switching overvoltages. It is typically installed near transmission lines, substations, and electrical equipment. Its working principle is based on nonlinear resistance characteristics. Under normal voltage, it presents a high impedance state, conducting almost no current; however, when an overvoltage occurs in the system, the impedance rapidly decreases, discharging the overvoltage energy to ground, thereby limiting the voltage amplitude. Modern surge arresters are mainly classified into valve-type and metal oxide types, among which metal oxide surge arresters (MOAs) are widely used due to their stable performance.

[0003] Currently, the replacement of surge arresters is complicated and cannot be done quickly. When the equipment is aging or malfunctioning, the replacement process requires more manpower, time, and complex operating procedures. Maintenance personnel must perform power outages and disassemble bolts, wires, and other fixing structures, which not only prolongs the system recovery time but may also affect the stability of the power grid. In addition, during the rainy season or in case of emergency failure, the low replacement efficiency may lead to a prolonged protection gap, exposing power equipment to overvoltage threats and increasing system safety hazards.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0029] Example

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a quick-change device for a surge arrester, comprising:

[0031] The load-bearing mechanism 100 includes a horizontal plate 110 and a support arm 120 fixedly installed on the outside of the horizontal plate 110.

[0032] The positioning mechanism 200 includes a housing 210 fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 110, a groove 220 opened on the outside of the housing 210, a support plate 230 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the groove 220, and a return spring 240 fixedly installed on the outside of the support plate 230 for continuously providing positioning pressure.

[0033] And an overvoltage protection mechanism 300 for achieving lightning protection.

[0034] The cross plate 110 and support arm 120 of the bearing mechanism 100 provide stable support. At the same time, the housing 210, groove 220, support plate 230 and reset spring 240 of the positioning mechanism 200 enable the overvoltage protection mechanism 300 to be quickly positioned and fixed. The reset spring 240 continuously applies pressure to ensure stability after installation. The overall structure simplifies the cumbersome steps of replacing traditional surge arresters and improves operation efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, the positioning mechanism 200 also includes a shaft 250 hinged to the inner cavity of the housing 210, a positioning protrusion 260 fixedly installed on the outside of the shaft 250, a through hole 270 opened in the positioning protrusion 260 and close to the return spring 240, and a pressure rod 280 fixedly installed on the outside of the positioning protrusion 260 for manual force application. The outer side of the positioning protrusion 260 is designed with rounded corners, and one end of the return spring 240 extends into the inner cavity of the through hole 270 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole 270.

[0036] The locking and unlocking of the positioning protrusion 260 is achieved through the cooperation of the shaft 250, the positioning protrusion 260, the through hole 270, and the pressure rod 280. When the pressure rod 280 is pressed, the return spring 240 retracts, causing the positioning protrusion 260 to disengage from the locked state, facilitating quick disassembly of the overvoltage protection mechanism 300, optimizing the manual operation process, reducing replacement time, and making it suitable for emergency maintenance scenarios. The rounded corner design of the positioning protrusion 260 makes it smoother during locking and unlocking, reducing mechanical wear. The return spring 240 is embedded in the through hole 270, enhancing positioning stability and preventing accidental loosening due to vibration or external force, ensuring reliable fixation of the surge arrester during long-term operation.

[0037] Furthermore, the overvoltage protection mechanism 300 includes a cylinder 310, an insulating cylinder 320 fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder 310, a terminal 330 fixedly installed on the top of the insulating cylinder 320, and a locking assembly 340 disposed on the outside of the cylinder 310.

[0038] Among them, the overvoltage protection mechanism 300 consists of a cylinder 310, an insulating cylinder 320, a terminal 330, and a locking component 340, which together form a complete lightning protection module. The locking component 340 works in conjunction with the positioning mechanism 200 to make the overall installation process more convenient. At the same time, the insulating cylinder 320 ensures electrical safety and meets the protection requirements under high voltage conditions.

[0039] Preferably, the locking assembly 340 includes a rectangular block 341 fixedly installed on the outside of the cylinder 310, a screw hole 342 opened on the top of the rectangular block 341, a fixing block 343 fixedly installed on the outside of the rectangular block 341, and an arc-shaped groove 344 opened on the outside of the fixing block 343. The rectangular block 341 is movably locked in the inner cavity of the housing 210, and the positioning protrusion 260 is movably locked in the inner cavity of the arc-shaped groove 344.

[0040] The rectangular block 341 can be directly inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 210 and quickly fixed by being engaged in the arc groove 344 by the positioning protrusion 260. The design of the screw hole 342 allows for subsequent reinforcement with a single bolt, further enhancing the connection strength. This structure realizes the installation logic of first clamping and then locking, which not only ensures the convenience of initial positioning but also enhances the stability of long-term operation.

[0041] Furthermore, the load-bearing mechanism 100 also includes a spring damper 130 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cross plate 110, a positioning hook 140 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support arm 120, and a connecting assembly 150 provided on the outside of the support arm 120 for fixing with other connecting parts.

[0042] Among them, the spring damper 130 can buffer external vibrations and reduce mechanical impact on the surge arrester; the positioning hook 140 and the connecting assembly 150 provide additional fixing points, enhancing the overall structure's resistance to wind sway and earthquakes, and are suitable for complex environments such as overhead lines.

[0043] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 150 includes a fixing sleeve 151 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support arm 120, a connecting piece 152 fixedly installed on the outside of the fixing sleeve 151, a limiting cylinder 153 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the fixing sleeve 151, and a rope hole 154 opened in the inner cavity of the limiting cylinder 153.

[0044] The connecting component 150, consisting of a fixing sleeve 151, a connecting piece 152, a limiting sleeve 153, and a rope hole 154, forms a multi-level fixing system. It can be secured by bolts or by using ropes to pass through the rope hole 154 for auxiliary fixing, adapting to different installation scenarios and improving the versatility and reliability of the device.

[0045] In use, first, align the rectangular block 341 of the overvoltage protection mechanism 300 with the inner cavity of the housing 210 and insert it. At this time, the positioning protrusion 260 automatically engages with the arc-shaped groove 344 of the fixing block 343 under the action of the return spring 240 to complete the initial positioning. Then, a bolt is installed through the screw hole 342 to achieve secondary reinforcement. When replacement is required, press the pressure rod 280 to compress the return spring 240, and the positioning protrusion 260 will disengage from the arc-shaped groove 344 and can be quickly removed. During installation, repeat the above insertion and locking actions to complete the replacement. Throughout the process, the spring damper 130 absorbs vibration, and the connecting assembly 150 is fixed in multiple stages by bolts or ropes to ensure the stable operation of the device in complex environments such as high-voltage overhead lines.

[0046] In summary, the positioning mechanism 200 achieves rapid engagement and release through the cooperation of the reset spring 240 and the positioning protrusion 260, enabling the overvoltage protection mechanism 300 to be installed and disassembled with a single click. The insertion design of the rectangular block 341 and the housing 210, combined with the positioning structure of the arc groove 344, ensures both the convenience of initial installation and secondary reinforcement through the screw hole 342. The multi-level fixing system of the spring damper 130 and the connecting component 150 enhances vibration resistance and adaptability. The overall structure ensures electrical safety while significantly improving replacement efficiency, making it suitable for emergency maintenance and routine repairs of high-voltage lines.
