Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power equipment testing technology, specifically a pressure testing device for a vacuum interrupter bellows. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum interrupters are core components of high-voltage switchgear in power systems. Their bellows, as dynamic sealing elements, must withstand alternating stresses from mechanical compression and vacuum environments over long periods. The pressure resistance of the bellows directly affects the service life and operational reliability of the interrupter; therefore, it must undergo rigorous pressure testing before leaving the factory.
[0003] Currently, the industry mainly relies on static pressure testing or simple dynamic pressure application devices for bellows inspection. However, existing technologies have the following problems: Traditional testing devices often use hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic cylinders to directly apply static pressure to the bellows, or use mechanical structures such as a single cam or swing arm for dynamic pressure application. These methods easily lead to localized stress concentration in the bellows, failing to simulate the uniform stress state under actual working conditions, resulting in large deviations in test results, and may even cause premature damage to the bellows due to localized overload.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a pressure testing device for the bellows of a vacuum interrupter is proposed. This device transforms the single-point impact force of the cam into a uniformly distributed dynamic pressure, achieving high-precision pressure application and uniform force distribution, thereby preventing localized overload of the bellows.

[0052] Working principle: When using this vacuum interrupter bellows pressure resistance testing device, the clamping stage is as follows: The bellows is placed horizontally on the rotating roller 212 of the support base 211, and the first electric push rod 222 is activated to push the clamping plates 223 on both sides to clamp the two ends of the bellows; Adjustment and positioning stage: The second servo motor 326 drives the threaded rod 323, so that the moving block 324 drives the cam 311 to move horizontally above the position to be tested on the bellows; The second electric push rod 327 lowers the cam 311 to the preset height (2-5mm away from the surface of the bellows); Pressure testing stage: The first servo motor 312 drives the cam 311 to rotate at a speed of 10-30r / min, and the roller shaft 313 periodically contacts the surface of the bellows and applies pressure. The pressure sensor 4 collects the deformation data of the bellows in real time; Data analysis and feedback: When the pressure reaches the preset threshold (such as 80% of the yield strength of the bellows) or the deformation exceeds the limit, the system automatically stops the test and generates a pressure-deformation curve to determine whether the pressure resistance performance of the bellows is qualified.
