Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of high-voltage power equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a bistable recloser. Background Technology

[0002] With the expansion of power system scale and the improvement of intelligence level, the demand for reliability and automation in distribution networks is increasing. Traditional circuit breakers and reclosing devices require manual intervention or rely on fixed action logic in fault handling, making them difficult to adapt to the complex and ever-changing power grid operating environment. In particular, the integration of new power elements such as distributed energy resources and microgrids has placed higher demands on fault isolation and power restoration speed, driving the development of intelligent protection devices such as bistable reclosers.

[0003] In traditional reclosers, the drive shaft of the moving iron core and the drive rod have an axial deflection angle of 15-20°, requiring a transition plate to transmit torque. This results in non-collinear transmission losses, increasing energy loss. Furthermore, the recloser lacks mechanical interlocking, increasing the danger for operators. This defect also directly leads to a 30% reduction in equipment lifespan and an increase in maintenance costs of over 55%, becoming a key bottleneck restricting the upgrading of distribution network automation.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses a bistable recloser, including a welded base assembly 1, reclosers 2, a bistable operating mechanism 3, and a locking mechanism 4. Multiple reclosers 2 are connected to the welded base assembly 1, and a bistable operating mechanism 3 is disposed inside the welded base assembly 1. The bistable operating mechanism 3 is movably connected to the multiple reclosers 2. A locking mechanism 4 is disposed at the tail end of the bistable operating mechanism 3. The locking mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the welded base assembly 1, and a tripping operating handle 5 is connected to the front end of the locking mechanism 4. A status pointer 6 is disposed on the welded base assembly 1 for indicating and displaying the tripping and closing of the reclosers 2.

[0029] The welding base assembly 1 includes a fixed base plate 101 and a limiting slide block 102. Several limiting slide blocks 102 are fixed at equal intervals on the inner groove of the fixed base plate 101. Each limiting slide block 102 has a limiting elongated hole 103 parallel to the drive rod 304 on its left and right side walls. Each limiting elongated hole 103 is provided with a slidable limiting roller 104. Each limiting roller 104 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 304. The limiting roller 104 slides with the limiting elongated hole 103 and the drive rod 304, so that the drive rod 304 can slide back and forth along the orientation direction of the limiting elongated hole 103, thereby making the limiting slide block 102 a stable support for the sliding of the drive rod 304.

[0030] The bottom of the shielding cover 201 of the recloser 2 is provided with a fixed base 202. The shielding cover 201 is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 101 through the fixed base 202. A movable insulating rod 204 is provided inside the shielding cover 201. Both ends of the insulating rod 204 are equipped with connecting rods. The connecting rod at the bottom of the insulating rod 204 is movably connected to the drive plate 208. A mold spring 205 is sleeved on the connecting rod at the bottom of the insulating rod 204. The mold spring 205 serves as the reset component of the moving contact 206. The tail end of the drive plate 208 is movably connected to the drive rod 304 through the limiting roller 104. The gate is connected in a dynamic manner. A vacuum interrupter 203 is opened inside the top of the shielding shell 201. A stationary contact 207 is fixedly installed at the top of the vacuum interrupter 203. A slidable moving contact 206 is provided at the bottom of the vacuum interrupter 203. The moving contact 206 is fixedly connected to the insulating pull rod 204 through a connecting rod at the top of the insulating pull rod 204.

[0031] The bistable operating mechanism 3 includes a bistable drive mechanism 301, a moving iron core drive shaft 302, a mechanism drive plate 303, and a drive rod 304. The moving iron core drive shaft 302 moves through the bistable drive mechanism 301. The right end of the moving iron core drive shaft 302 is bolted to the drive rod 304 through two mechanism drive plates 303. The drive rod 304 and the moving iron core drive shaft 302 are driven in the same line to reduce transmission loss.

[0032] In the locking mechanism 4, the locking seat 402 is fixed to the fixed base plate 101, providing a locking function for the moving iron core drive shaft 302. A rotatable mechanism drive main shaft 404 is located in the middle of the locking seat 402. Two linear rotating rods are fixedly connected to the left end of the cylindrical surface of the mechanism drive main shaft 404, and two arc-shaped rotating rods are fixedly connected to the right end of the cylindrical surface of the mechanism drive main shaft 404. The front end of the mechanism drive main shaft 404 is fixedly connected to the shaft 401. The front end of the connecting shaft 401 passes through the welded base assembly 1 and is fixed to the tripping operation handle 5. A limit rod 403 is provided above the mechanism drive main shaft 404. The limit rod 403 corresponds to the linear rotating rods of the mechanism drive main shaft 404, allowing the rotation... The travel is limited to ensure that the mechanical limit can reach the optimal angle. A rolling sleeve 407 is fixedly installed at the tail of the moving iron core drive shaft 302. The rolling sleeve 407 is correspondingly set with the arc-shaped rotating rod of the mechanism drive main shaft 404 to form a mechanical lock. The rear end of the mechanism drive main shaft 404 passes through the lock seat 402 and is fixedly installed with the limit switch actuating plate 405. The limit switch 406 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the lock seat 402. The limit switch actuating plate 405 corresponds with the limit switch 406 to form an electrical lock. The double lock of mechanical lock and electronic lock facilitates the operation of the switch for maintenance and avoids product safety accidents caused by the operator's misoperation, thus ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0033] Working principle

[0034] When this utility model is in use, the external controller provides a remote control signal for opening the circuit breaker. The bistable drive mechanism 301 drives the mechanism drive plate 303 on the moving iron core drive shaft 302 to move to the left. Then, the mechanism drive plate 303 drives the drive rod 304 to move to the left. The drive rod 304 drives the drive plate 208 in linkage. The drive plate 208 will drive the insulating rod 204 to move upward. The moving contact 206 moves upward and is in close contact with the stationary contact 207, realizing the closing action. The switch is closed, and the status pointer 6 points to the closed position.

[0035] The external controller provides a remote control signal for opening the circuit breaker. The bistable drive mechanism 301 drives the mechanism drive plate 303 on the moving iron core drive shaft 302 to move to the right. The mechanism drive plate 303 then drives the drive rod 304 to move to the right. The drive rod 304 drives the drive plate 208 in conjunction. The drive plate 208 will drive the insulating rod 204 to move downward. The moving contact 206 moves downward and separates from the stationary contact 207, realizing the opening action. The switch is opened, and the status pointer 6 points to the opening position.

[0036] When the switch is in the closed state, the operator can rotate the opening operation handle 5, which drives the mechanism drive main shaft 404 on the connecting shaft 401 to rotate. The arc-shaped rotating rod on the mechanism drive main shaft 404 presses the rolling bushing 407, causing the moving iron core drive shaft 302 to move to the right. The moving contact 206 moves downward and separates from the stationary contact 207, thus opening the switch. The status pointer 6 points to the open position, triggering the interlocking contact. The limit switch 406 and the limit switch toggle plate 405 correspond to achieve electrical interlocking. The mechanism drive main shaft 404 abuts against the tail end of the drive rod 304, thereby completing the mechanical interlocking and realizing manual opening. This facilitates maintenance by the operator and provides double interlocking for the recloser 2, preventing product safety accidents caused by operator misoperation.
