Description

A circuit breaker pressure spring monitoring device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of circuit breaker technology, and specifically relates to a circuit breaker pressure spring monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] In GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear), various electrical components are used, including circuit breakers, which are switching devices capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under normal circuit conditions and closing, carrying, and interrupting current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. As a key device in the control and protection circuits of a power system, the pressure spring of the circuit breaker plays a crucial role in providing power for opening and closing operations. The stability of the spring performance directly affects whether the circuit breaker can quickly and accurately interrupt fault currents, ensuring the safe operation of the power system. However, traditional pressure spring monitoring methods have many shortcomings and cannot meet the high reliability requirements of modern power systems. For example, there is the problem of limited monitoring methods. Traditional monitoring mainly relies on regular manual inspections, judging by observing the appearance of the spring (such as whether there are cracks or deformation) or measuring the spring length with simple tools. This method is highly subjective, inefficient, and cannot obtain the dynamic parameters of the spring during operation in real time. For example, it cannot accurately know the stress changes of the spring after frequent opening and closing operations. Due to the lack of real-time monitoring of spring performance, faults are only discovered when the spring shows obvious damage (such as breakage) or causes abnormal opening and closing of the circuit breaker. At this point, the fault has often already had a certain impact on the power system, and may even cause serious accidents such as large-scale power outages, making early warning and preventive maintenance impossible.

[0003] In summary, we hope to propose a new structure to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] A pressure spring body 105 is fixedly connected between two sets of spring end seats 101. A monitoring component 200 for monitoring the performance of the pressure spring body 105 during use is fixedly connected to the right side of the spring end seat 101. The monitoring component 200 includes a monitoring box 202, a damping shock absorber 206, a fixed seat 207, and a laser displacement sensor 209.

[0029] The upper inner side of the monitoring box 202 has a mounting cavity 203 for installing the laser displacement sensor 209.
