Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disconnecting switch technology, specifically a corrosion-resistant outdoor high-voltage AC disconnecting switch. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor high-voltage AC disconnect switches are important electrical devices used in power systems. They are mainly used to isolate and switch circuits in high-voltage transmission lines and substations. They can reliably disconnect and close circuits under high-voltage conditions and are widely used in various fields of power systems to ensure the safe operation and maintenance of power systems and protect the safety of operators.
[0003] Most existing outdoor high-voltage AC disconnect switches are exposed to the elements during use. Over time, wind, sun, and dust will accelerate the corrosion and aging of the disconnect switches, thereby reducing their service life. However, the existing anti-corrosion measures are mostly to coat the surface of the disconnect switches with anti-corrosion coatings, which are not effective enough. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a corrosion-resistant outdoor high-voltage AC disconnect switch, including a base 1, two insulators 2 fixed on the base 1, a shoulder 3 fixed on the insulator 2, a power line plate 4 and a load line plate 5 respectively fixed on the shoulder 3 at the top of the two insulators 2 by bolts, a power contact 6 fixed on the power line plate 4, a load contact 7 fixed on the load line plate 5, a switch 8 rotatably mounted on the load contact 7, two semi-circular collars 9 fixed on the bottom of the shoulder 3 by bolts, a housing 10 fixed on the semi-circular collars 9, a cover 11 rotatably mounted on the housing 10, a handle 12 fixed on the cover 11, and a louvered window 13 provided on the side of the housing 10;
[0026] A base plate 14 is fixed to the inner side of the semi-circular collar 9 by bolts. A fan 15 is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 14. An internal air outlet valve 16 is fixed to the middle of the base plate 14. A power outlet valve 17 and a load outlet valve 18 are fixed to the two sides respectively. A connecting rod 19 is rotated on the switch 8 by a pivot pin. The other end of the connecting rod 19 is rotated by a pivot pin to a transition block 20. The transition block 20 is fixedly connected to the cover 11. When a person holds the handle 12 and rotates the cover 11 downwards, the cover 11 can drive the switch 8 to rotate downwards through the connecting rod 19. When the switch 8 contacts the power contact 6, the circuit is closed and energized. At the same time, the cover 11 rotates onto the chassis 10 and seals from the top.
[0027] Furthermore, the side of the cover 11 closest to the load line plate 5 is rotatably connected to the chassis 10 via a hinge. A sealing strip is provided between the cover 11 and the chassis 10. The chassis 10 is composed of two half-boxes and is fixedly connected to the semi-circular collar 9. The semi-circular collar 9 is fixed to the shoulder 3 by bolts. When the cover 11 is rotated, the connecting rod 19 can drive the switch 8 to rotate as well, so that the switch 8 can be closed or disconnected.
[0028] Furthermore, the cover 11 is rotatably connected to the switch 8 via the adapter block 20 and the connecting rod 19. When the cover 11 is opened outward, the switch 8 can be rotated outward and disconnected via the adapter block 20 and the connecting rod 19. When the cover 11 is rotated inward, the switch 8 can be moved inward and closed via the adapter block 20 and the connecting rod 19.
[0029] Furthermore, the internal air outlet valve 16, the power outlet valve 17, and the load outlet valve 18 are connected to the fan 15 through ducts installed inside the base plate 14, so that the fan 15 can deliver air volume to the internal air outlet valve 16, the power outlet valve 17, and the load outlet valve 18 through the ducts installed inside the base plate 14.
[0030] Furthermore, the internal air outlet valve 16 is located below the switch 8, the power supply air outlet valve 17 is located inside the power supply contact 6, and the load air outlet valve 18 is located inside the load contact 7, so that the switch 8 can be dried by air blowing through the internal air outlet valve 16, the power supply contact 6 can be dried by air blowing through the power supply air outlet valve 17, and the load contact 7 can be dried by air blowing through the load air outlet valve 18.
[0031] Furthermore, the power supply board 4 is electrically connected to the power contact 6, and the load board 5 is electrically connected to the load contact 7, so that the power supply board 4 and the power contact 6 can be energized with the load board 5 and the load contact 7 through the switch 8.
[0032] Furthermore, the switch 8 is movably connected to the power contact 6. When the switch 8 contacts the power contact 6, the circuit is closed. At this time, the power contact 6, the switch 8, and the load contact 7 can be energized and power can be transmitted.
[0033] In use, the enclosure 10 and cover 11 cover the power contact 6, load contact 7, and knife switch 8 to prevent them from being exposed to sunlight and rain. The louvers 13 dissipate heat generated by the components, preventing corrosion from sun and rain. Furthermore, the fan 15, through ducts inside the base plate 14, delivers air to the internal air outlet valve 16, power outlet valve 17, and load outlet valve 18. This serves two purposes: firstly, to cool the disconnect switch during operation, and secondly, to allow the internal air outlet valve 16 to dissipate heat. Air is blown onto the switch 8, and through the power outlet valve 17, air can be blown onto the power contact 6, and through the load outlet valve 18, air can be blown onto the load contact 7. Therefore, when the surfaces of the power contact 6, load contact 7, and switch 8 are wet, they can be quickly dried. This not only avoids short circuits that may occur due to a humid environment, but also keeps the surfaces of the power contact 6, load contact 7, and switch 8 dry, preventing corrosion of the disconnecting switch formed by the power contact 6, load contact 7, and switch 8, thereby improving the service life of the disconnecting switch.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
