[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, this embodiment provides an insulator testing apparatus, including a receiving container (not shown in the figure) and a clamping assembly 1. The receiving container is filled with insulating oil to replace sulfur hexafluoride in the electrical cabinet, which is more reliable and environmentally friendly. The clamping assembly 1 includes a first equalizing component 11 and a second equalizing component 12 disposed on both sides of the insulator 100. The first equalizing component 11 is provided with a first interface for connecting cables, fixing the wires while isolating conductors at different potentials and preventing short circuits or leakage. The second equalizing component 12 is provided with a second interface for grounding to ensure safety and electromagnetic compatibility. The first equalizing component 11 and the second equalizing component 12 are both provided with protrusions 13 on the side opposite to each other. The protrusions 13 can, on the one hand, make the pressure distribution more uniform when liquid or gas passes through, reduce local high-pressure or low-pressure areas, and ensure the stability of subsequent tests; on the other hand, the protrusions 13 can smooth the electric field distribution, reduce the possibility of corona discharge, reduce energy loss and electromagnetic interference, and improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the equipment. The clamping assembly 1 and the insulator 100 are placed in a container and immersed in insulating oil to simulate the usage conditions inside the electrical cabinet. Then, the partial discharge capability and power frequency withstand voltage of the insulator 100 are measured using appropriate testing instruments to ensure the pass rate of the insulator 100 installed in the electrical cabinet.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of insulators 100 are provided between the first equalizing member 11 and the second equalizing member 12, which allows for simultaneous testing of the plurality of insulators 100, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0032] For example, insulating oil is a substance already disclosed in the prior art, and its specific composition is as described in the prior art, and will not be repeated here.

[0033] Furthermore, the connection between the protrusion 13 and the outer peripheral wall of the first equalizing member 11 is arc-shaped; and / or, the connection between the protrusion 13 and the outer peripheral wall of the second connecting member 15 is arc-shaped. This arc-shaped design can, on the one hand, better disperse stress, enhance the mechanical strength of the structure, prevent deformation or damage, and help extend its service life; on the other hand, it can reduce local electric field concentration and avoid corona discharge or local breakdown. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connections between the first equalizing member 11 and the second equalizing member 12 and their corresponding protrusions 13 are both arc-shaped.

[0034] Optionally, the clamping assembly 1 further includes a first connector 14 and a second connector 15. The first equalizing member 11 has a first connecting hole, and the second equalizing member 12 has a second connecting hole. The first connector 14 passes through the first connecting hole and is screwed onto the insulator 100; the second connector 15 passes through the second connecting hole and is screwed onto the insulator 100. This configuration enables a detachable connection between the first equalizing member 11 and the second equalizing member 12 and the insulator 100, simplifying operation and improving testing efficiency. Exemplarily, both the first and second connecting holes are through holes, and both the first connector 14 and the second connector 15 are bolts commonly used in the art.

[0035] Furthermore, multiple first connectors 14 and first connecting holes are provided, with each first connector 14 correspondingly inserted into a corresponding first connecting hole and screwed onto the insulator 100. This improves the stability of the connection between the insulator 100 and the first equalizing member 11, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent test results. For example, in this embodiment, three first connectors 14 and three first connecting holes are provided; in other embodiments, the number of first connectors 14 and first connecting holes can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here.

[0036] Optionally, multiple second connectors 15 and second connecting holes are provided. Each second connector 15 is inserted into one of the multiple second connecting holes and screwed onto the insulator 100 to improve the stability of the connection between the insulator 100 and the second equalizing member 12, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent test results. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, two second connectors 15 and two second connecting holes are provided; in other embodiments, the number of second connectors 15 and second connecting holes can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here.

[0037] Optionally, both the first equalizing element 11 and the second equalizing element 12 are hollow structures. The hollow structure guides the uniform diffusion of electric field or pressure through the shape of the outer shell, avoiding local concentration. At the same time, the hollow structure can absorb impact or vibration energy through internal air damping, protecting the core components. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first equalizing element 11 and the second equalizing element 12 are circular.

[0038] Optionally, both the first equalizing element 11 and the second equalizing element 12 are made of aluminum. Aluminum can effectively equalize the electric field distribution and reduce the risk of partial discharge. The density of aluminum is 2.7 g / cm³. 3 This can significantly reduce the weight of the clamping component 1, reducing transportation and installation costs. At the same time, aluminum has long-term stability, requires little maintenance, and is easy to form and process.

[0039] Optionally, a dust cover is provided at the upper port of the container to prevent dust from falling into the container and contaminating the insulating oil, thus ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
