[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode technology, and in particular to a structure for rapid electrode insertion and removal under high voltage conditions. Background Technology

[0002] In high-pressure environments, electrodes must possess high strength, high-pressure resistance, and good conductivity. Their materials are often special alloys or composite materials to withstand extreme pressure without deformation or damage. Electrode design must optimize electric field distribution, reduce the risk of partial discharge, and ensure stable operation under high pressure.

[0003] Existing electrodes and terminal clamps are bolted together to meet connection requirements. However, in maintenance scenarios, the frequent use of specialized tools to disassemble and reassemble the negative terminal bolts is very time-consuming for maintenance workers, greatly reducing the efficiency of electrode connection. Therefore, this utility model proposes a quick-plug structure for electrodes under high-voltage conditions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a rapid electrode insertion and removal structure under high-voltage conditions. This solves the problem in the prior art where frequent use of specialized tools to disassemble and reassemble the negative terminal bolts is extremely time-consuming for maintenance workers, resulting in a significant reduction in electrode connection efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a quick-plug structure for electrodes under high voltage conditions, including an insulating shell, a male electrode plug, a female electrode plug, a slot, and a connecting wire. The male electrode plug is provided on one side of the insulating shell, the female electrode plug is provided inside the insulating shell, the slot is provided inside the male electrode plug, a connecting wire is connected to one side of the male electrode plug, and a quick-plug mechanism is provided between the insulating shell and the male electrode plug.

[0006] A further improvement is made in that: the quick insertion and removal mechanism includes a gripper, a wedge block, an inclined surface, a guide rod, a strip groove, and a spring. The top and bottom of the insulating housing are symmetrically provided with grippers and wedge blocks. An inclined surface is provided on one side of the gripper. The top and bottom of the insulating housing are symmetrically fixedly connected with guide rods. The inside of the hook is provided with a strip groove. One end of the guide rod passes through the inside of the strip groove. A spring is connected between the gripper and the wedge block.

[0007] A further improvement is that the inclined surface is fitted and connected to one side of the wedge block, one end of the gripper is provided with a hook, the two hooks are respectively engaged and connected to the top and bottom of the male electrode plug, and the two sets of grippers and one side of the wedge block are respectively fitted to the top and bottom of the female electrode plug.

[0008] A further improvement is that the end of the gripper away from the hook is designed as an L-shaped structure, and a rectangular groove is provided on one side of the wedge block, with the L end of the hook inserted into the interior of the rectangular groove.

[0009] A further improvement is that a clamp is provided on one side of the female electrode plug, and an external wire passes through the inside of the clamp and is electrically connected to the female electrode plug. A clamping mechanism is provided on the clamp.

[0010] A further improvement is that the clamping mechanism includes a partition groove, a threaded surface, and a fixing sleeve. Multiple partition grooves are provided at equal intervals on one side of the clamping cylinder, and a threaded surface is provided on the outer side of the clamping cylinder. A fixing sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer side of the clamping cylinder through the threaded surface, and a tapered groove is provided inside the fixing sleeve.

[0011] A further improvement is that a pull plate is fixedly connected to one end of the wedge-shaped block, and one end of the clamping cylinder extends through the interior of the pull plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During the process of inserting the female electrode plug into the slot, after the hook at one end of the clamp contacts the protrusions at the top and bottom of the male electrode plug, the protrusions on both sides of the male electrode plug squeeze the clamp to rotate outward around the guide rod, which increases the distance between the two hooks and the spring is in a compressed state. When the female electrode plug is fully engaged with the slot, the elastic force generated by the spring drives the clamp to return to its original position, so that the hook and the protrusions on both sides of the male electrode plug are engaged as one, making the connection between the male electrode plug and the female electrode plug more stable. When disassembling, it is only necessary to pull the pull plate to move the wedge block outward. The wedge block pulls the clamp to rotate outward around the guide rod through the rectangular groove, and the distance between the two hooks increases again, separating the female electrode plug and the male electrode plug, realizing the quick insertion and removal of the electrode.

[0018] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] according to Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a quick-connect and disconnect structure for electrodes under high-voltage conditions, including an insulating housing 1, a male electrode plug 2, a female electrode plug 3, a slot 4, and a connecting wire 5. The male electrode plug 2 is located on one side of the insulating housing 1, and the female electrode plug 3 is located inside the insulating housing 1. The slot 4 is located inside the male electrode plug 2, and the connecting wire 5 is connected to one side of the male electrode plug 2. A quick-connect and disconnect mechanism is provided between the insulating housing 1 and the male electrode plug 2. The insulating housing 1 is aligned with one end of the male electrode plug 2, and then the female electrode plug 3 is inserted into the slot 4. During this process, the quick-connect and disconnect mechanism automatically locks the male electrode plug 2, making the connection between the male electrode plug 2 and the female electrode plug 3 more secure. When disassembling, it is only necessary to pull the parts in the quick-connect and disconnect mechanism outward to release the connection between the male electrode plug 2 and the female electrode plug 3. At this time, the male electrode plug 2 and the female electrode plug 3 can be pulled apart to realize the quick-connect and disconnection of the electrodes.

[0020] The quick-release mechanism includes grippers 6, wedge blocks 8, inclined surfaces 9, guide rods 10, slots 11, and springs 12. Grippers 6 and wedge blocks 8 are symmetrically arranged on the top and bottom of the insulating housing 1. An inclined surface 9 is provided on one side of each gripper 6. Guide rods 10 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the insulating housing 1. A slot 11 is provided inside the hook 13, and one end of the guide rod 10 extends through the slot 11. The grippers 6 and... A spring 12 connects the wedge blocks 8. The inclined surface 9 is attached to one side of the wedge block 8. One end of the gripper 6 is provided with a hook 13. The two hooks 13 are respectively engaged with the top and bottom of the male electrode plug 2. The two sets of grippers 6 and one side of the wedge block 8 are respectively attached to the top and bottom of the female electrode plug 3. The end of the gripper 6 away from the hook 13 is designed with an L-shape. One side of the wedge block 8 is provided with a rectangular groove. The L-end of the hook 13 is inserted into the rectangular groove. One end of the wedge block 8 is fixedly connected to the pull plate 7, and one end of the clamp 14 extends through the interior of the pull plate 7. During the process of inserting the female electrode plug 3 into the interior of the slot 4, after the hook 13 at one end of the clamp 6 contacts the protrusions at the top and bottom of the male electrode plug 2, the protrusions on both sides of the male electrode plug 2 squeeze the clamp 6 to rotate outward around the guide rod 10, which increases the distance between the two hooks 13 and the spring 12 is in a compressed state. When the female electrode plug 3 is fully engaged with the slot 4, the elastic force generated by the spring 12 drives the clamp 6 to return to its original position, so that the hooks 13 and the protrusions on both sides of the male electrode plug 2 are engaged together, making the connection between the male electrode plug 2 and the female electrode plug 3 more stable. When disassembling, it is only necessary to pull the pull plate 7 to move the wedge block 8 outward. The wedge block 8 pulls the clamp 6 to rotate outward around the guide rod 10 through the rectangular groove, and the distance between the two hooks 13 increases again, separating the female electrode plug 3 from the male electrode plug 2, realizing the quick insertion and removal of the electrode.

[0021] The electrode female plug 3 has a clamp 14 on one side. An external wire passes through the inside of the clamp 14 and is electrically connected to the electrode female plug 3. The clamp 14 is equipped with a clamping mechanism, which includes a partition groove 15, a threaded surface 16, and a fixing sleeve 17. Multiple partition grooves 15 are equidistantly arranged on one side of the clamp 14. The outer side of the clamp 14 is provided with a threaded surface 16. The outer side of the clamp 14 is threadedly connected to the fixing sleeve 17 through the threaded surface 16. The inside of the fixing sleeve 17 is provided with a conical groove. During the process of electrically connecting the external wire to the electrode female plug 3, it needs to pass through the inside of the clamp 14. When the fixing sleeve 17 on the outer side of the clamp 14 is tightened, the conical groove inside the fixing sleeve 17 squeezes the clamp 14 inward and shrinks it, reducing the spacing of the partition grooves 15. The clamp 14 is used to clamp the wire to limit the wire and make the connection between the wire and the electrode female plug 3 more secure.

[0022] This quick-plug electrode structure allows the female electrode plug 3 to be inserted into the slot 4. During this process, the hook 13 at one end of the gripper 6 contacts the protrusions at the top and bottom of the male electrode plug 2. The protrusions on both sides of the male electrode plug 2 then compress the gripper 6, causing it to rotate outward around the guide rod 10. This increases the distance between the two hooks 13, and the spring 12 is compressed. When the female electrode plug 3 is fully engaged with the slot 4, the spring force generated by the spring 12 drives the gripper 6 to return to its original position, causing the hooks 13 to engage with the protrusions on both sides of the male electrode plug 2. This makes the connection between the male electrode plug 2 and the female electrode plug 3 more secure. To disassemble, simply pull the pull plate 7 to move the wedge block 8 outward. The wedge block 8 pulls the gripper 6 outward around the guide rod 10 through the rectangular groove, further increasing the distance between the two hooks 13 and separating the female electrode plug 3 from the male electrode plug 2, thus achieving quick electrode insertion and removal.
