[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switchgear technology, and more specifically, it is a low-voltage switchgear for new energy transformer substations. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable part of wind and photovoltaic power generation systems, new energy transformer substations have been widely used and promoted globally. These devices typically consist of three main parts: a high-voltage switchgear, a transformer cabinet, and a low-voltage switchgear. Specifically, the low-voltage switchgear mainly houses frame circuit breakers, control transformers, miniature circuit breakers, relays, and terminal blocks. However, in traditional designs, all these electrical components are often concentrated in a relatively compact cabinet. For example, the low-voltage unit for a new energy transformer substation disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Specification CN221380092U dated July 19, 2024, illustrates this configuration. This configuration, due to the over-concentration of components, leads to overcrowding inside the cabinet. This not only complicates and times installation and disassembly, reducing work efficiency, but also inconveniences maintenance personnel operating inside the cabinet. Furthermore, the congested space increases the risk of damaging electrical equipment. More seriously, during maintenance, maintenance personnel may accidentally come into contact with exposed live areas in the low-voltage cabinet (mainly the low-voltage incoming and outgoing copper busbars connected to the frame circuit breaker), which may not only damage the electrical equipment but also pose a threat to the safety of the maintenance personnel.

[0018] The following is a detailed explanation and description of a new energy transformer low-voltage switchgear according to the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a low-voltage switchgear for a new energy transformer substation, including a cabinet 1. A frame circuit breaker 2 is installed in the upper part of the cabinet 1. A low-voltage incoming copper busbar 3 extending from front to back is connected to the upper end of the frame circuit breaker 2, and a low-voltage outgoing copper busbar 4 extending from top to bottom is connected to the lower end of the frame circuit breaker 2. A low-voltage busbar 5, horizontally insulated and fixed between the left and right side walls of the cabinet 1, is connected to the lower end of the low-voltage outgoing copper busbar 4. A maintenance compartment 6 is provided outside the right side wall of the cabinet 1. A miniature circuit breaker, relay, and terminal block are installed in the maintenance compartment 6. This constitutes a modular, integrated, and convenient low-voltage switchgear for a new energy transformer substation. In actual use, the cabinet 1 is used in conjunction with the transformer cabinet. The low-voltage incoming copper busbar 3 is connected to the low-voltage output side of the transformer, and power is supplied through the low-voltage busbar 5 and the miniature circuit breaker, relay, and terminal block in the maintenance compartment 6. This utility model moves all power distribution components to the maintenance compartment 6 on the right side wall outside the low-voltage cabinet 1, separating the maintenance compartment 6 from the exposed live areas inside the cabinet 1. This makes the layout inside the low-voltage cabinet more compact, ensures the safety of maintenance personnel when inspecting power distribution components, and provides ample maintenance space for maintenance personnel, no longer limited by the space inside the cabinet 1.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, an axial fan mounting bracket 7 is provided on the lower rear side of the cabinet 1. The axial fan mounting bracket 7 is shaped like a Z, with the middle part of the Z-shape tilted from top to bottom and from back to front. Two mounting holes 71 are provided in the middle of the Z-shape (one on the left and one on the right). The axial fan mounting bracket 7 is used to install the axial fan. When installing the axial fan, the outer wall of the axial fan is installed inside the mounting holes 71, so that the air outlet of the axial fan faces inward towards the cabinet 1. Due to the tilt angle of the axial fan mounting bracket 7, the contact area between the airflow direction of the axial fan and the low-voltage incoming copper busbar 3, low-voltage outgoing copper busbar, and low-voltage busbar 5 connected to the frame circuit breaker 2 is maximized, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, a low-voltage switchgear sheet metal bracket 8 is fixed to the upper rear side of the cabinet 1, and the left-view cross-section of the low-voltage switchgear sheet metal bracket 8 is U-shaped with the opening facing upward. During assembly, one end of the low-voltage switchgear sheet metal bracket is fixed to the cabinet 1 of the low-voltage switchgear, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1 of the transformer cabinet, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the low-voltage switchgear, ensuring the stability of the low-voltage switchgear during transportation and maintenance, and ensuring the safety of assembly construction.

[0022] like Figure 3As shown, a front cable tray 61 and a rear cable tray 62 are fixed inside the maintenance compartment 6, spaced apart from each other. Multiple intermediate cable trays 63 are fixed between the front and rear cable trays 61 and 62, evenly spaced from top to bottom. Each intermediate cable tray 63 has a mounting rail fixed above it, securing miniature circuit breakers, relays, and terminals. This allows the wiring of the miniature circuit breakers, relays, and terminals to be routed within the cable trays, ensuring neat wiring in the maintenance compartment 6 and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0023] like Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 As shown, a UPS host 13 and a control transformer 14 are installed on the outside of the left side wall of the cabinet 1. The UPS host 13 is located on the upper side of the control transformer 14. A dehumidifier 15 is installed inside the cabinet 1 on the side near the maintenance compartment 6, and a current transformer 41 is installed on the low-voltage outgoing copper busbar 4.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the low-voltage cabinet doors are designed to open in a double-opening manner. A left door panel 11 and a right door panel 12 are located on the front side of cabinet 1, with a 1:3 area ratio between the left and right door panels 11 and 12. The left door panel 11 is equipped with a fluorescent fiber optic temperature measuring device 111, a meter 112, a temperature and humidity controller 113, and a socket 114. The fluorescent fiber optic temperature measuring device 111 can be configured with 9 or 6 temperature measurement points to monitor the temperature of the low-voltage incoming copper busbar 3, low-voltage outgoing copper busbar 4, and low-voltage busbar 5 inside cabinet 1 in real time. The meter 112 can be a voltmeter, ammeter, etc. The temperature and humidity controller 113 can monitor the temperature inside the low-voltage cabinet in real time to activate the axial flow fan or dehumidifier 15 for cooling or dehumidification, ensuring that the temperature and humidity inside the low-voltage cabinet remain stable within a suitable range to meet the normal operating conditions of the equipment inside. The socket 114 can be used for temporary power supply. The right door panel 12 is equipped with a power control terminal 121, a measurement and control device 122, a frame circuit breaker 2 panel, indicator lights 123, buttons, and connecting plates 124. The functional zoning layout of the door panel components makes the wiring on the low-voltage cabinet door panel more orderly and neat, facilitating component installation and maintenance.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, a left busbar clamp 51 is fixed on the left side inside the cabinet 1, and a right busbar clamp 51 matching the left busbar clamp 51 is fixed on the right side inside the cabinet 1. Both the left and right busbar clamps 51 have insertion holes in the middle, so that the left and right ends of the low-voltage busbar copper bus 5 are inserted into the insertion holes of the left and right busbar clamps 51 respectively to fix the low-voltage busbar copper bus 5. Both the left and right busbar clamps 51 are made of insulating material. Multiple copper lugs 52 are fixed at the lower end of the low-voltage busbar copper bus 5. Cables can be connected to miniature circuit breakers for power distribution through the copper lugs 52, making the connection faster and more convenient.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, lifting rings are provided at the four corners of the top of cabinet 1, which facilitates the hoisting or moving of the low-voltage cabinet.
