Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power maintenance technology, and in particular to a drawer-type grounding device. Background Technology
[0002] Pumped storage hydroelectric power utilizes electricity generated during periods of low electricity demand to pump water into an upper reservoir. During periods of high electricity demand, the water stored in the upper reservoir is released into a lower reservoir to generate electricity. It is also known as energy storage power generation. It can convert excess electricity during periods of low grid load into high-value electricity during periods of high grid load. It is suitable for frequency and phase regulation, can be used to stabilize the frequency and voltage of the power system, is suitable for emergency backup, and can also improve the efficiency of thermal power plants and nuclear power plants in the power system.
[0003] Due to the operational needs of pumped storage power station production sites, their feeder cabinets require at least one power outage maintenance per year. Before maintenance, the feeder cabinets need to be switched from operation to maintenance. This typically involves suspending a three-phase short-circuit grounding wire on the feeder side of the cabinet for grounding to ensure on-site safety. However, because feeder cabinet sites are usually narrow and enclosed, suspending the three-phase short-circuit grounding wire is extremely inconvenient, and it is prone to falling off or being incorrectly attached. Furthermore, the grounding end of the three-phase short-circuit grounding wire is usually located on the incoming line side at the bottom of the feeder cabinet, posing a significant risk of accidental contact with live parts during operation. Therefore, a safer and more reliable grounding device for feeder cabinets is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following describes specific embodiments in conjunction with... Figures 1 to 6 The technical solution of this application will be further described in detail.
[0027] Some embodiments of this application provide a drawer-type grounding device applied to a feeder cabinet. The cabinet 1 of the feeder cabinet is grounded. The cabinet 1 contains a busbar terminal 1-1 of the feeder and a socket terminal 1-2 electrically connected to the cabinet 1. The drawer-type grounding device includes: a drawer body 2, which can be pulled out and installed inside the cabinet 1; a three-phase copper busbar 3, located on one side of the drawer body 2 along its length. As the drawer body 2 is pulled out and moved, the three-phase copper busbar 3 has a first state of being plugged into the busbar terminal 1-1 and a second state of being separated from the busbar terminal 1-1; and a grounding terminal 4, electrically connected inside the drawer body 2. A three-phase copper busbar 3 is disposed away from the drawer body 2; a three-phase short-circuit grounding wire 5 is fixed inside the drawer body 2, including a three-phase connection terminal 5-1 and a grounding connection terminal 5-2, wherein the three-phase connection terminal 5-1 is electrically connected to the three-phase copper busbar 3, and the grounding connection terminal 5-2 is electrically connected to the grounding terminal 4; a pin 6 is connected to the side of the drawer body 2 near the three-phase copper busbar 3, wherein the pin 6 in the first state is inserted into the socket end 1-2, and the pin 6 in the second state is separated from the socket end 1-2; wherein the drawer body 2, the cabinet body 1, the pin 6 and the socket end 1-2 are all made of metal.
[0028] A feeder cabinet typically consists of multiple cabinets (1), each a metal enclosure that conducts electricity and is self-grounded. Some cabinets (1) can house 400V feeders. The feeder includes outgoing terminals, incoming switches, and incoming copper busbars, etc. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the empty cabinet 1 can be used to accommodate the drawer. The cabinet 1 can be equipped with a busbar end 1-1 for connecting the feeder and a socket end 1-2 for connecting the cabinet 1, which facilitates subsequent connection with the three-phase short-circuit grounding wire 5 in the drawer. The busbar end 1-1 is, for example, a three-phase interface, and the socket end 1-2 is, for example, a metal connecting piece with a socket.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drawer body 2 has a semi-open structure and fits into the receiving cavity of the cabinet body 1. In the figure, the L direction is the length direction of the drawer body 2, and the W direction is the width direction of the drawer body 2.
[0030] A three-phase copper busbar 3 is provided on the side of the drawer body 2 near the busbar end 1-1. As the drawer body 2 is pushed out and moved, the three-phase copper busbar 3 has a first state of being plugged into the busbar end 1-1 and a second state of being separated from the busbar end 1-1. That is, when the drawer body 2 is pushed to a certain position, the three-phase copper busbar 3 can be plugged into the busbar end 1-1 for electrical connection. When the drawer body 2 is pulled out to a certain position, the three-phase copper busbar 3 is separated from the busbar end 1-1 and the electrical connection is broken.
[0031] The drawer body 2 is connected to a grounding terminal 4, which is, for example, a bolt, and is located away from the bus end 1-1.
[0032] Inside the drawer body 2, a three-phase short-circuit grounding wire 5 is also fixed. It can be secured using adhesive, clips, or other methods. The working principle of the three-phase short-circuit grounding wire 5 is to connect the three phases of the equipment under maintenance to the ground, creating equipotential and preventing the risk of sudden power surges. The three-phase short-circuit grounding wire 5 includes a three-phase connection terminal 5-1 and a grounding connection terminal 5-2, with a conductor (e.g., 25mm²) connected in between. 2 The cable has its three-phase connection terminal 5-1 electrically connected to the three-phase copper busbar 3, and its grounding connection terminal 5-2 electrically connected to the grounding terminal 4.
[0033] A pin 6, for example a metal pin, is electrically connected to the side of the drawer body 2 near the busbar end 1-1. In the first state, the pin 6 is inserted into the socket end 1-2. In the second state, the pin 6 is separated from the socket end 1-2. That is, when the drawer body 2 is pushed to a certain position, the pin 6 can be inserted into the socket end 1-2 for electrical connection. When the drawer body 2 is pulled out to a certain position, the pin 6 is separated from the socket end 1-2, and the electrical connection is broken.
[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, this application sets the three-phase short-circuit grounding wire 5 inside the drawer body 2. One end of the three-phase connection terminal 5-1 is connected to the three-phase copper busbar 3, which is then plugged into the busbar end 1-1. The other end of the grounding connection terminal 5-2 is connected to the grounding terminal 4, which is connected to the drawer body 2. The drawer body 2 is connected to the pin 6, which is then plugged into the socket end 1-2. Thus, the grounding of the busbar end 1-1 is achieved by pulling and pushing the drawer body 2. The operation is simple and convenient, the connection stability of the plug-in cooperation is stronger, the safety is good, and it avoids human error, accidental contact with live equipment, etc.
[0035] This drawer-type grounding device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and offers strong stability and safety during grounding operation. It overcomes the cumbersome and inconvenient operation of traditionally hanging ground wires on feeder cabinets, eliminates the risk of accidental contact with live equipment during operation, and simplifies manufacturing by converting the original feeder cabinet into a drawer-type grounding device, significantly reducing production costs.
[0036] In some embodiments, there are two pins 6, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the drawer body 2.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, two pins 6 are spaced apart along the width of the drawer body 2, correspondingly, as... Figure 4 As shown, two sockets 1-2 are spaced apart along the width of the cabinet 1 to ensure that the pin 6 can be stably connected to the sockets 1-2 and to ensure the stability of the grounding effect.
[0038] In some embodiments, the bottom of the drawer body 2 is provided with an insert 2-1 extending along the length direction, and the cabinet body 1 is provided with a slot 1-3 that mates with the insert 2-1.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the drawer body 2 is provided with a insert 2-1 extending along the length direction, correspondingly, as... Figure 5 As shown, the cabinet 1 has a slot 1-3 extending along the length direction. The slot 1-3 and the insert 2-1 cooperate to restrict the sliding direction of the drawer body 2 and realize the sliding connection.
[0040] In some embodiments, the grounding terminal 4 is detachably connected to the drawer body 2, for example by a threaded connection, to facilitate tightening of the grounding connection end 5-2 and ensure grounding effect.
[0041] In some embodiments, limit markers 1-4 are affixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 1.
[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, limit markers 1-4 are attached to the inner wall of cabinet 1. Limit markers 1-4 include, for example, marking the position of the first state and the position of the second state, to remind the user whether the grounding operation is in place, etc.
[0043] In some embodiments, the drawer body 2 is provided with a transition plate 7 on the side away from the three-phase copper busbar 3, and a push-pull rod 7-1 is provided on the transition plate.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, a transition plate 7 is provided on the side of the drawer body 2 away from the three-phase copper busbar 3. The transition plate 7 can be an insulating plate. A push-pull rod 7-1 is provided on the transition plate 7 to facilitate the person to pull out and push the drawer body 2.
[0045] In some embodiments, the adapter plate 7 is located on the bottom surface of the drawer body 2 and is rotatably connected to the drawer body 2; the adapter plate 7 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 7-2, and the cabinet body 1 is provided with a limiting post 1-5 that slides with the arc-shaped groove 7-2.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the adapter plate 7 is located on the bottom surface of the drawer body 2 and is rotatably connected to the drawer body 2, for example, via a pivot. The adapter plate 7 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 7-2, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the cabinet 1 is equipped with a fixed limiting post 1-5. The limiting post 1-5 can slide in the arc groove 7-2 to change the distance between the limiting post 1-5 and the aforementioned rotating shaft, thereby changing the position of the drawer body 2. By setting the arc groove 7-2, the movement distance of the drawer body 2 can be limited to a certain extent.
[0047] In some embodiments, the drawer body 2 is provided with a spring snap 8, and the adapter plate 7 is provided with a limiting hole 7-3 that cooperates with the spring snap 8.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the drawer body 2 is equipped with a spring latch 8, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adapter plate 7 has a limiting hole 7-3 that mates with the spring snap 8. The elastic part of the spring snap 8 can extend into the limiting hole 7-3, which restricts the rotation of the adapter plate 7, thereby limiting the distance between the limiting post 1-5 and the aforementioned rotating shaft, thus fixing the drawer body 2. When the elastic part of the spring snap 8 retracts from the limiting hole 7-3, the adapter plate 7 can rotate, thus changing the position of the drawer body 2.
[0049] In some embodiments, the spring clip 8 is located on the top surface of the drawer body 2, and the drawer body 2 is provided with a through hole 2-2 corresponding to the spring clip 8.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the spring clip 8 is located on the top surface of the drawer body 2. The drawer body 2 has a through hole 2-2 corresponding to the spring clip 8, so that the spring clip 8 is located inside the drawer body 2, which serves a protective function. The elastic part of the spring clip 8 can pass through the through hole 2-2 and cooperate with the limiting hole 7-3. Under normal conditions, the elastic part of the spring clip 8 can be set to stay out of the through hole 2-2. A handle can be set on the spring clip 8. Lifting the handle can make the elastic part of the spring clip 8 leave the through hole 2-2 and separate from the limiting hole 7-3.
[0051] In some embodiments, there are multiple limiting holes 7-3, distributed around the rotatable connection between the adapter plate 7 and the drawer body 2.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, there are three limiting holes 7-3, distributed around the pivot. As the adapter plate 7 rotates, the spring buckle 8 can engage with different limiting holes 7-3 so that the drawer body 2 can be fixed in different positions.
[0053] Specifically, three marks can be set on the limit indicators 1-4, corresponding one-to-one with the three limit holes 7-3. The first mark is the isolation position, in which the first limit hole 7-3 engages with the spring clip 8, the three-phase copper busbar 3 is separated from the busbar end 1-1, and the pin 6 is also separated from the socket end 1-2. The second mark is the test position, in which the second limit hole 7-3 engages with the spring clip 8, the three-phase copper busbar 3 is separated from the busbar end 1-1, but the pin 6 is plugged into the socket end 1-2. The third position is the working position, in which the third limit hole 7-3 engages with the spring clip 8, the three-phase copper busbar 3 is plugged into the busbar end 1-1, and the pin 6 is plugged into the socket end 1-2.
[0054] During maintenance, first lift spring clip 8, then push the push-pull rod 7-1 from the isolation position to the test position and then to the working position to achieve feeder grounding. To restore the equipment, first lift spring clip 8, then pull the push rod from the working position to the test position and then to the isolation position. These three position markings prevent accidental operation during manual installation and removal of the grounding wire, thus improving safety.
