Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitor sleeve technology, specifically to a fiber-impregnated capacitor sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] In high-voltage power equipment, capacitors, and cable insulation systems, capacitive bushings are critical insulation components, and their performance directly affects the safety and stability of the entire system. Traditional capacitive bushings primarily use solid high-dielectric materials (such as epoxy resin and ceramics) as the insulation layer, and enhance their mechanical properties through composite structures. However, these bushings suffer from the following technical problems during long-term operation:

[0003] Traditional solid dielectric materials have low dielectric constants, resulting in small capacitance under high electric field environments, which affects the optimization of equipment electrical performance. Due to the possible microscopic defects or inhomogeneous structures within solid materials, electric field distortion can easily occur, thereby affecting insulation performance and potentially inducing partial discharge (PD), reducing the long-term operational stability of the equipment.

[0004] Traditional bushings may develop tiny air gaps or interface discontinuities during the manufacturing process. Under high voltage, these air gaps become areas of concentrated electric field, making them prone to partial discharge (PD). Due to the cumulative effect of partial discharge, the aging of the insulation material is accelerated, leading to a decrease in the bushing's electrical breakdown withstand capability and shortening the equipment's service life.

[0005] High-voltage power equipment generates heat during operation. Traditional solid insulating bushings, due to their low thermal conductivity, have difficulty dissipating heat quickly, leading to excessively high local temperatures. Under prolonged operation, heat accumulation can cause the insulation material to age and crack, or even lead to insulation failure, thus affecting the stability of the power system.

[0006] In view of this, this paper studies and improves upon existing problems, providing a fiber-impregnated capacitive sleeve to solve current issues. The aim is to address these problems and enhance practical value through this technology. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model provides a resin-impregnated fiber capacitor bushing, whose main structure includes an insulating matrix layer, a dielectric reinforcement layer, a liquid filling layer, a mechanical reinforcement layer, and an outer protective structure. The multi-layer composite structure optimizes the dielectric properties, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength to meet the usage requirements of high-voltage electrical equipment, capacitors, and cable insulation systems.

[0008] This utility model provides a fiber-impregnated capacitor-type sleeve, comprising:

[0009] The insulating substrate layer is made of impregnated glass fiber, aramid fiber or polyimide fiber material and is cured to form a tubular structure to provide basic electrical insulation and mechanical support.

[0010] A dielectric reinforcement layer, located outside the insulating substrate layer, is filled with a high-dielectric material with a porous sintered structure, including barium titanate (BaTiO3), boron nitride (BN), or a composite thereof. The porous sintered structure has an interconnected pore network to optimize the electric field distribution and form thermally conductive channels.

[0011] A liquid filling layer is filled into the pores of the dielectric reinforcement layer. The liquid filling layer includes silicone oil or transformer oil to improve the dielectric properties of the bushing and enhance its heat dissipation capacity. The liquid filling layer is filled into the pores of the dielectric reinforcement layer by a vacuum impregnation process to ensure uniform filling.

[0012] A mechanical reinforcement layer, covering the outside of the dielectric reinforcement layer, is made of carbon fiber reinforced composite material or glass fiber reinforced plastic. The mechanical reinforcement layer adopts a cross-wound structure to improve tensile strength and impact resistance, and prevent deformation or cracking during long-term use.

[0013] The outer protective structure, located outside the mechanical reinforcement layer, is made of hydrophobic polymer material. The outer protective structure includes fluorinated polymers, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to provide weather resistance and waterproof and moisture-proof functions, ensuring long-term stable operation of the bushing in harsh environments.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the porosity of the dielectric reinforcement layer is set to 30%-70% to balance the dielectric constant and thermal conductivity.

[0015] In another embodiment, the high dielectric material of the dielectric enhancement layer is nano-sized barium titanate (BaTiO3) particles or boron nitride (BN) particles with a particle size range of 50nm-200nm, to ensure high dielectric performance.

[0016] In a further optimized design, a thermally conductive filling layer is provided between the mechanical reinforcement layer and the outer protective structure. The thermally conductive filling layer is composed of alumina, boron nitride, or carbon nanotube fillers to enhance heat dissipation performance, reduce local heat accumulation, and improve the long-term stability of the equipment.

[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, a porous dielectric reinforcement layer with a high dielectric constant is used, which is filled with high dielectric materials such as barium titanate (BaTiO3) and boron nitride (BN), which significantly improves the capacitance characteristics of the bushing, reduces local electric field distortion, and improves the uniformity of electric field distribution. The use of a liquid filling layer effectively fills the pores of the dielectric layer, avoids the existence of air gaps, thereby reducing the risk of partial discharge (PD) and improving the bushing's resistance to electrical breakdown.

[0019] 2. In this invention, the porous dielectric reinforcement layer forms a heat-conducting channel, which, combined with the efficient heat transfer effect of the liquid filling layer, enables the bushing to have good heat dissipation capacity, avoiding the problem of excessive local temperature rise caused by prolonged high-voltage operation. The addition of a thermally conductive filling layer further improves heat conduction efficiency, effectively reducing heat accumulation during long-term operation and extending the service life of the equipment.
