Description

Vacuum switch heat preservation device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum switch insulation technology, and in particular to a vacuum switch insulation device. Background Technology

[0002] The transition chamber in the glass coating line requires evacuation and venting, and vacuum switches are commonly used as safety switches for the vacuum system. Specifically, when the vacuum level in the system is <1.3*10³, the vacuum switch is closed, outputting 1; when the vacuum level is ≥1.3*10³, the vacuum switch is open, outputting 0. The control program identifies the state of the vacuum switch and controls whether to open the door between the transition chamber and the atmosphere.

[0003] When operating on a glass coating line, the vacuum switch is significantly affected by ambient temperature in winter. When the temperature drops below 10℃ and the vacuum level is ≥1.3*10³, it takes several seconds for the vacuum switch to change from 1 to 0, preventing the door between the transition chamber and the atmosphere from opening promptly and increasing the glass scrap rate in the coating line. Current technology addresses the impact of low temperatures on the vacuum switch by enclosing it in an iron box and then using a 100W incandescent lamp for heating and insulation.

[0004] However, because incandescent lamps operate at low temperatures and are unstable, they are prone to burning out, causing vacuum switches to heat up slowly and respond to signals slowly, making it difficult to ensure the normal operation of the vacuum switches. Summary of the Invention

[0015] In some embodiments, the electric heating tape is wound more than 3 times.

[0016] In some embodiments, the heating tape is wound in a parallel spiral around the vacuum switch body, so that the heating tape is spirally wound.

[0030] When operating on a glass coating line, the vacuum switch is significantly affected by ambient temperature in winter. When the temperature drops below 10℃ and the vacuum level is ≥1.3*10³, it takes several seconds for the vacuum switch to change from 1 to 0, preventing the door between the transition chamber and the atmosphere from opening promptly and increasing the glass scrap rate in the coating line. Current technology addresses the impact of low temperatures on the vacuum switch by enclosing it in an iron box and then using a 100W incandescent lamp for heating and insulation.

[0031] However, because incandescent lamps operate at low temperatures and are unstable, they are prone to burning out, causing vacuum switches to heat up slowly and respond to signals slowly, making it difficult to ensure the normal operation of the vacuum switches.

[0032] This utility model proposes a vacuum switch heat preservation device 100. Referring to Figure 1, in one embodiment of this utility model, the vacuum switch heat preservation device 100 includes:

[0033] Vacuum chamber 10;

[0034] A vacuum switch body 20 is installed outside the vacuum chamber 10, and the contacts of the vacuum switch body 20 are fixed inside the vacuum chamber 10. The vacuum switch body 20 is used to detect the vacuum level of the vacuum chamber 10.

[0035] Electric heating tape 30, said electric heating tape 30 being wrapped around the outside of the vacuum switch body 20; and

[0036] Cable ties 40 are used to secure the heating tape 30 to the vacuum switch body 20.

[0037] The vacuum switch body 20 can be an existing vacuum switch. The vacuum switch body 20 is used to detect the vacuum level of the vacuum chamber 10.

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model involves wrapping an electric heating tape 30 around the vacuum switch body 20 and then fixing the electric heating tape 30 with cable ties 40. The electric heating tape 30 is used to heat the vacuum switch body 20 to ensure that the vacuum switch body 20 is heated evenly and that the vacuum switch body 20 heats up quickly, thereby meeting the heat preservation requirements and ensuring the normal operation of the vacuum switch body 20.

[0039] In one embodiment, the vacuum switch body 20 is heated and kept warm by the heating tape 30 to maintain normal operation. When the vacuum degree in the vacuum chamber 10 reaches ≥1.3*10³, the state of the vacuum switch body 20 can change rapidly. The control system can identify the state of the vacuum switch body 20 and promptly control the opening of the door between the transition chamber and the atmosphere in the glass coating line, thereby reducing the glass scrap rate.

[0040] To enable the heating tape 30 to be energized and heated, the vacuum switch insulation device 100 also includes a power supply 50, and the heating tape 30 is electrically connected to the power supply 50.

[0041] The heating tape 30 is connected to the power supply 50. When the heating tape 30 is energized, it heats the vacuum switch body 20, reducing the impact of low temperature on the vacuum switch body 20 and ensuring the normal operation of the vacuum switch body 20.

[0042] In one embodiment, the vacuum switch insulation device 100 further includes a control cabinet 60, and the power supply 50 is disposed in the control cabinet 60, which can be used to house the power supply 50.

[0043] The vacuum switch insulation device 100 further includes a terminal block 70. The connector of the heating tape 30 is inserted into the terminal block 70. The terminal block 70 is electrically connected to the power supply 50 via a wire to facilitate the connection between the heating tape 30 and the power supply 50. The terminal block 70 is pre-connected to the power supply 50 inside the control cabinet 60. After the heating tape 30 is wound onto the vacuum switch body 20, the connector of the heating tape 30 is inserted into the terminal block 70, and the heating tape 30 is energized by the power supply 50.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The vacuum switch insulation device 100 also includes a temperature control switch 80, which is located in the control cabinet 60. The input terminal of the temperature control switch 80 is connected in series with the heating tape, and the output terminal of the temperature control switch 80 is connected in series with the power supply 50.

[0045] The temperature control switch 80 can be used to detect the temperature of the external environment. When the external environment is too low, the temperature control switch 80 is turned on, the heating tape 30 and the power supply 50 are energized and heated. The heating tape 30 heats the vacuum switch body 20, thereby ensuring that the vacuum switch body 20 can work normally in a low-temperature environment.

[0046] In one embodiment, when the temperature is set below 10°C, the temperature control switch 80 is turned on to supply power to the heating tape 30, thereby achieving automatic heating.

[0047] The temperature control switch 80 and the power supply 50 are installed inside the control cabinet 60 to reduce the clutter of the temperature control switch 80 and the power supply 50 outside the vacuum chamber 10. The terminal block 70 is connected to the temperature control switch 80 and the power supply 50 of the control cabinet 60 via wires. The power connection of the heating tape 30 is completed by directly plugging the connector of the heating tape 30 into the terminal block 70.

[0048] To enable the vacuum switch body 20 to heat up quickly, the heating tape 30 is wound with more than 3 turns. In one embodiment, the heating tape 30 can be wound with 4 turns, 5 turns, etc.

[0049] The heating tape 30 is wound in a parallel spiral around the vacuum switch body 20, so that the heating tape 30 is in a spiral wound shape.

[0050] The heating tape 30 is spirally wound around the vacuum switch body 20 to ensure the safety of the heating tape 30 when connected to electricity. Furthermore, the heating tape 30 is spirally wound parallel to the vacuum switch body 20, ensuring uniform heating and rapid temperature rise, thereby reducing the impact of low-temperature environments on the vacuum switch body 20.

[0051] In one embodiment, the heating tape 30 is a 24V flame-retardant heating tape 30. By wrapping and installing the 24V flame-retardant heating tape 30 around the vacuum switch body 20, the vacuum switch body 20 is heated evenly, thereby achieving the required heat preservation.

[0052] In order to secure the heating tape 30 to the vacuum switch body 20 and prevent the heating tape 30 from coming loose, two cable ties 40 are used, and the two cable ties 40 are cross-tied to the heating tape 30.

[0053] To facilitate replacement of the heating cable 30, all cable ties 40 are detachable. The cable ties 40 can be removed, and the connector of the heating cable 30 can be disconnected from the terminal block 70 to detach the heating cable 30 from the vacuum switch body 20.

[0054] Then, the new heating tape 30 can be wrapped around the vacuum switch body 20, and the new heating tape 30 can be tied to the vacuum switch body 20 with the cable tie 40. Finally, the connector of the new heating tape 30 can be plugged into the terminal block 70 to complete the power connection of the new heating tape 30.

[0055] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
