Description

A multi-layer gradient arc-resistant equalizing ring Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equalizing ring technology, specifically a multi-layer gradient arc-resistant equalizing ring. Background Technology

[0002] In high-voltage power transmission and transformation systems, grading rings are key components for ensuring the insulation performance of equipment. They are mainly used to equalize the electric field distribution on the surface of high-voltage equipment and suppress arc discharge. Traditional grading rings often adopt a single-layer structure or a multi-layer stacked design with uniform diameter, which is difficult to adapt to the distribution characteristics of decreasing electric field intensity from the top to the bottom of high-voltage equipment. In actual operation, due to the concentrated electric field intensity at the top of the equipment, a single-layer grading ring cannot effectively disperse the potential difference, which can easily lead to local arc discharge, resulting in insulation aging or even equipment failure. On the other hand, multi-layer equal-diameter grading rings are not optimized for electric field distribution, resulting in insufficient electric field suppression in some areas and redundancy in others. This makes it difficult to fully realize the grading effect and also causes material waste. In addition, traditional grading rings usually adopt an integral structure, which is large in size and heavy in weight. They require special packaging and transportation equipment during transportation, which is costly and easily damaged by collisions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a multi-layer gradient arc-resistant equalizing ring.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-layer gradient arc-resistant equalizing ring, including a first equalizing ring 1, a second equalizing ring 2 above the first equalizing ring 1, and a third equalizing ring 3 above the second equalizing ring 2. The outer walls of the first equalizing ring 1, the second equalizing ring 2, and the third equalizing ring 3 are all snapped with connecting devices 4. The outer walls of the connecting devices 4 are snapped with fixing devices 5, and the outer walls of the connecting devices 4 are overlapped with mounting buckles 6. In the gradient structure, the upper third equalizing ring 3 has the smallest diameter, corresponding to the strong electric field area at the top of the high-voltage equipment. The diameters of the middle second equalizing ring 2 and the lower first equalizing ring 1 increase sequentially, gradually covering the areas where the electric field intensity decreases. This diameter gradient design can make the electric field intensity on the surface of each equalizing ring tend to be uniform, shorten the electric field path between different potential areas, and effectively suppress local arc discharge.

[0021] The connecting device 4 includes a connecting frame 41, with a support frame 42 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting frame 41. Positioning holes 43 are symmetrically formed in the wall of the connecting frame 41. A connecting hole 44 is formed through the side wall of the connecting frame 41. A mounting groove 45 is formed in the side wall of the connecting frame 41. An elastic sheet 46 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting frame 41. A through groove 47 is formed in the wall of the connecting frame 41. The outer walls of the connecting frame 41 and the support frame 42 overlap with the outer wall of the mounting buckle 6. The outer wall of the connecting frame 41 passes through the mounting groove. 45 is respectively engaged with the outer walls of the first equalizing ring 1, the second equalizing ring 2, and the third equalizing ring 3. The connecting frame 41 is respectively engaged with the outer walls of the first equalizing ring 1, the second equalizing ring 2, and the third equalizing ring 3 through the mounting groove 45 of the connecting device 4. The diameters of the three rings decrease from bottom to top to form a gradient structure. Then, the mounting buckle 6 is overlapped on the outside of the connecting frame 41 and the support frame 42. Bolts are inserted through the positioning hole 43 and the corresponding hole of the mounting buckle 6 to achieve the final fixation of the equalizing ring and the mounting buckle 6.

[0022] The fixing device 5 includes a limiting plate 51, a limiting groove 52 is formed on the outer wall of the limiting plate 51, a through hole 53 is formed in the wall of the limiting plate 51, a limiting device 54 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 51, and the outer wall of the limiting plate 51 is engaged with the outer wall of the first equalizing ring 1, the outer wall of the second equalizing ring 2 and the outer wall of the third equalizing ring 3 respectively through the limiting groove 52.

[0023] The limiting device 54 includes a connecting block 541, a limiting frame 542 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 541, a blocking block 543 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting frame 542, and a guide groove 544 formed on the outer wall of the blocking block 543. The outer walls of both the connecting block 541 and the limiting frame 542 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 51. The outer wall of the blocking block 543 engages with the elastic sheet 46, thus securing the limiting plate 51 of the fixing device 5 to the first equalizing ring 1, the second equalizing ring 2, and the third equalizing ring 3 via the limiting groove 52. The blocking block 543 on the connecting block 541... During this process, 43 will engage with the elastic sheet 46 of the connecting frame 41. Utilizing the deformation force of the elastic sheet 46 and the setting of the guide groove 544, the elastic sheet 46 will slide past the blocking block 543 and the limiting frame 542. Afterward, the elastic sheet 46 will recover from the obstruction of the blocking block 543. At this time, the groove position under the inclined surface of the elastic sheet 46 will engage with the blocking block 543, thereby securing the fixing device 5 onto the connecting device 4. At this time, the connecting hole 44 of the connecting device 4 is aligned with the through hole 53 of the fixing device 5. Finally, the bolt is inserted to complete the rigid fixation of the connecting device 4 and the fixing device 5.

[0024] When using this multi-layer gradient arc-resistant equalizing ring, the connecting frame 41 is first clamped onto the outer walls of the first equalizing ring 1, the second equalizing ring 2, and the third equalizing ring 3 through the mounting groove 45 of the connecting device 4. The diameters of the three rings decrease sequentially from bottom to top to form a gradient structure. Then, the mounting buckle 6 is overlapped on the outside of the connecting frame 41 and the support frame 42. Bolts are inserted through the positioning holes 43 and the corresponding holes of the mounting buckle 6 to achieve the final fixation of the equalizing ring and the mounting buckle 6. The combined design allows for separate transportation during transport, which facilitates transportation.

[0025] The limiting plate 51 of the fixing device 5 is engaged with the first equalizing ring 1, the second equalizing ring 2, and the third equalizing ring 3 through the limiting groove 52. During this process, the blocking block 543 on the connecting block 541 engages with the elastic plate 46 of the connecting frame 41. Utilizing the deformation force of the elastic plate 46 and the setting of the guide groove 544, the elastic plate 46 slides past the blocking block 543 and the limiting frame 542. Afterward, the elastic plate 46 returns to its original position without the obstruction of the blocking block 543. At this time, the groove position under the inclined surface of the elastic plate 46 will engage with the blocking block 543, thereby securing the fixing device 5 onto the connecting device 4. At this time, the connecting hole 44 of the connecting device 4 is aligned with the through hole 53 of the fixing device 5. Finally, the bolt is inserted to complete the rigid fixation of the connecting device 4 and the fixing device 5. The elastic plate 46 and the limiting device 54 work together to ensure the stability of the position of the equalizing ring during the fixing process. At the same time, pre-assembly facilitates the bolt fixing of the connecting device 4 and the fixing device 5.

[0026] In the gradient structure, the upper third equalizing ring 3 has the smallest diameter, corresponding to the strong electric field region at the top of the high-voltage equipment. The diameters of the middle second equalizing ring 2 and the lower first equalizing ring 1 increase sequentially, gradually covering the region where the electric field intensity decreases. This diameter gradient design can make the electric field intensity on the surface of each equalizing ring tend to be uniform, shorten the electric field path between different potential regions, effectively suppress local arc discharge, and the through groove 47 of the connecting device 4 makes it difficult for rainwater to accumulate in the connecting device 4.

[0027] The device uses a gradient diameter design to balance the potential difference layer by layer according to the electric field distribution characteristics of high-voltage equipment, thereby improving arc resistance and reducing the risk of discharge faults. The cooperation between the elastic sheet 46 and the limiting device 54 enhances the connection stability. The secondary fixing with bolts ensures the stability of the equalizing ring position during long-term operation, thereby extending the insulation life of high-voltage equipment.
