Description

A device for testing the opening distance of a vacuum interrupter. Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vacuum device testing technology, specifically to a vacuum interrupter distance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum interrupter (also known as a vacuum switch tube) is a core component of medium- and high-voltage power switches. Its core function is to reliably interrupt and extinguish the arc by utilizing the excellent insulation and rapid dielectric recovery characteristics of a high-vacuum environment. A vacuum interrupter consists of a moving contact and a stationary contact. The moving contact is connected to a moving conductive rod, and the stationary contact is connected to a conductive block via a stationary conductive rod.

[0003] In the production process of vacuum interrupters, short-time power frequency testing is a crucial step in ensuring the quality of the vacuum interrupters. Short-time power frequency testing involves pulling the moving conductive rod of the vacuum interrupter to maintain a certain distance between the moving and stationary contacts, applying a certain power frequency voltage between the moving and stationary contacts, detecting the magnitude of the leakage current, and observing the discharge phenomenon inside the interrupter. If there is no continuous discharge phenomenon inside the vacuum interrupter, it indicates that its vacuum level meets the requirements. Existing technology, such as the multi-station vacuum interrupter opening distance device and testing equipment disclosed in patent publication number CN220584289U, includes a frame, a servo motor in the middle of the frame, the servo motor connected to a reducer via a connecting device, the reducer connected to a clamping device, and the servo motor driving the clamping device to move up and down through the reducer. Several vacuum interrupters are arranged on the frame, and the guide rod of the vacuum interrupter passes through the frame to install a connector, which is detachably connected to the clamping device. When multiple workstations are processing and testing simultaneously, the separation device automatically separates each vacuum interrupter to the same opening distance, improving work efficiency, eliminating separation distance errors caused by the size of the interrupter and the frame, ensuring that the moving and stationary contacts of the interrupter chambers at multiple workstations are simultaneously separated to the same opening distance, reducing the inaccuracy of manual separation, and ensuring the consistency of product processing.

[0004] While the aforementioned patent discloses a method to maintain the distance between the moving and stationary contacts by pulling the moving conductive rod, it does not disclose how to connect the power supply to the conductive block. The conventional method involves installing several copper caps on a copper strip, attaching each cap to a corresponding conductive block, and then connecting power wires to both ends of the copper strip. This allows for simultaneous energization of several conductive blocks. However, placing the copper caps is cumbersome, especially when there is only one operator, further hindering operation and impacting testing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum interrupter opening distance testing device. The first driving mechanism can pull the moving conductive rod to maintain the opening distance between the moving and stationary contacts, while the second driving mechanism can drive each conductive cap to achieve precise placement of the conductive cap.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to Figures 1-4.

[0027] Example

[0028] A vacuum interrupter opening distance testing device includes a first support 1 and a second support 2 mounted on the first support 1. The first support 1 is provided with several first drive mechanisms for pulling down the moving conductive rod 101. The second support 2 is equipped with several second drive mechanisms for vertical lifting. The second drive mechanisms are connected to a first insulating connecting seat 12. The first insulating connecting seat 12 is connected to a voltage-conducting clamping plate 14. A conductive connector 7 is clamped between the first insulating connecting seat 12 and the voltage-conducting clamping plate 14. A conductive cap 17 is connected to the lower end of the voltage-conducting clamping plate 14.

[0029] The vacuum interrupter 100 includes a moving contact and a stationary contact. The moving contact is connected to a moving conductive rod 101, and the stationary contact is connected to a conductive block 102 through a stationary conductive rod. A first driving mechanism can pull the moving conductive rod 101 to maintain the opening distance between the moving and stationary contacts. A second driving mechanism can drive each conductive cap 17 to achieve precise placement of the conductive cap 17. Only one operator is needed to control the operation, which is simple and convenient and can effectively improve the efficiency of detection.

[0030] The first insulating connector 12 is provided to prevent damage to the electrical equipment on the second drive mechanism due to power supply during the detection process. The conductive plate 14, conductive cap 17, and conductive connector 7 are made of copper, and the conductive connector 7 can be a copper strip or copper bar. The conductive connector 7 electrically connects all the conductive caps 17, and connecting individual power supply wires to the conductive connector 7 can energize all the conductive caps 17.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2, a conductive slide rod 15 is connected to the lower end of the conductive pressure plate 14. The conductive slide rod 15 slides in conjunction with the conductive cap 17, and a spring 16 connects the conductive pressure plate 14 and the conductive cap 17. With the conductive slide rod 15 sliding in conjunction with the conductive cap 17, the conductive cap 17 can maintain a stable vertical sliding motion. After the conductive cap 17 contacts the conductive block 102, it can continue to move upward, preventing the second drive mechanism from driving the conductive cap 17 to crush the conductive block 102. The spring 16 ensures that the conductive cap 17 and the conductive block 102 maintain close contact, guaranteeing normal power supply.

[0032] The upper end face of the voltage-conducting clamping plate 14 is connected to a first screw head 13 that can move through the conductive connector 7. The first screw head 13 is threadedly connected to the first insulating connector 12. The voltage-conducting clamping plate 14 is connected to the first insulating connector 12 through the first screw head 13, which facilitates disassembly and assembly, and can also tighten the conductive connector 7 to ensure normal power supply.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the first driving mechanism includes a first telescopic cylinder 3 installed below the first bracket 1. The first telescopic cylinder 3 is connected to a first driving rod 301. A second insulating connecting seat 23 is connected to the first driving rod 301. A conductive seat 18 is connected to the second insulating connecting seat 23. A groove 20 is formed on the upper end face of the conductive seat 18. A connecting groove 21 and a limiting groove 22 are formed on one side of the conductive seat 18. The connecting groove 21 communicates with the side wall of the groove 20 and the upper end face of the conductive seat 18. The limiting groove 22 communicates with the bottom of the groove 20, and the contact surface of the limiting groove 22 and the groove 20 forms a step. An annular groove 103 for engaging the groove 20 is formed on the movable conductive rod 101.

[0034] The movable conductive rod 101 slides into the conductive seat 18 from the connecting groove 21 and the limiting groove 22. When the annular groove 103 is located in the groove 20, the step can abut against the protrusion at the lower end of the movable conductive rod 101, thereby preventing the movable conductive rod 101 from disengaging from the conductive seat 18 during the downward pulling process. The conductor (not shown in the figure) connecting the conductive seat 18 to the power supply is used in conjunction with the energization of the conductive cap 17 to perform the detection operation. The second insulating connecting seat 23 can prevent the electrical equipment on the first telescopic cylinder 3 from being damaged due to the power supply during the detection process.

[0035] A placement seat 8 is fixedly mounted on the first support 1. A vertical through groove 9 is provided in the placement seat 8. A clearance groove 11 for avoiding the moving conductive rod 101 is provided on the side wall of the placement seat 8 along the direction in which the annular groove 103 is inserted into the groove 20. The vacuum interrupter 100 slides laterally, causing the moving conductive rod 101 to move from the clearance groove 11 into the through groove 9 of the placement seat 8, thereby connecting the moving conductive rod 101 to the conductive seat 18.

[0036] The side wall of the placement seat 8 is provided with a placement groove 10 that communicates with the upper end face of the placement seat 8 along the direction in which the annular groove 103 engages with the groove 20. The placement groove 10 can assist the vacuum interrupter 100 in being placed in place; specifically, the placement groove 10 is a U-shaped groove. When the vacuum interrupter 100 slides into one side of the U-shaped groove and abuts against it, the vacuum interrupter 100 is placed in place, and at this time the moving conductive rod 101 slides into the conductive seat 18.

[0037] The conductive base 18 is connected to the wires that extend from the clearance groove 11 to the placement base 8, thereby connecting to the external power supply and detection equipment; the conductive connector 7 also clamps the wires connected to the detection equipment, thereby detecting the discharge phenomenon.

[0038] Both the upper end of the first drive rod 301 and the lower end of the conductive seat 18 are provided with second screw heads 19 that are threadedly connected to the second insulating connecting seat 23. This threaded connection facilitates assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the two second screw heads 19 rotate in the same direction; that is, after the second insulating connecting seat 23 is connected to the first drive rod 301, tightening the conductive seat 18 will further tighten the second insulating connecting seat 23 and the first drive rod 301, rather than loosening them in the opposite direction. If the limiting groove 22 on the conductive seat 18 is not aligned with the clearance groove 11, the movable conductive rod 101 cannot slide correctly into the conductive seat 18. In this case, the first drive rod 301 can be manually rotated at a certain angle to ensure smooth connection between the conductive rod 101 and the conductive seat 18.

[0039] The second drive mechanism includes a second telescopic cylinder 6, which is connected to a second drive rod 601. The second drive rod 601 is threadedly connected to the first insulating connecting seat 12, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the first insulating connecting seat 12. The thread direction on the second drive rod 601 is the same as the thread direction of the first screw head 13. That is, after the second drive rod 601 is connected to the first insulating connecting seat 12, when the conductive voltage tightening plate 14 is tightened, the second drive rod 601 and the first insulating connecting seat 12 will be further tightened, instead of being loosened in the opposite direction.

[0040] The first telescopic cylinder 3 is connected to a wing plate 5, and a screw 4 threaded through the wing plate 5 is threaded to the first bracket 1; the second telescopic cylinder 6 is also connected to a wing plate 5, and a screw 4 threaded through the wing plate 5 is threaded to the second bracket 2, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the first telescopic cylinder 3 and the second telescopic cylinder 6.

[0041] The first insulating connector 12 and the second insulating connector 23 can be made of ceramic material to ensure insulation performance while maintaining structural strength.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
