Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer protection technology, and in particular to a combination device of circuit breaker and fuse for transformer protection. Background Technology

[0002] In modern power systems, transformers, as core equipment, undertake the crucial tasks of voltage transformation, power distribution, and transmission. Their stable operation plays a decisive role in ensuring the reliability, security, and quality of power supply. However, during operation, transformers inevitably face various fault risks, such as overload, short circuit, and overvoltage. If these faults are not handled promptly, they can not only damage the transformer itself but also trigger a chain reaction, leading to widespread power outages and severely impacting the social economy and people's lives. To effectively protect transformers and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system, various protection devices have emerged. Among them, circuit breakers and fuses, as two important overcurrent protection devices, each play a unique role in the field of transformer protection.

[0003] However, existing transformer protection circuit breakers and fuses are usually used separately. However, these circuit breakers and fuses cannot complement each other in terms of performance, resulting in poor reliability and flexibility of circuit protection. When the circuit breaker and fuse fail due to aging, they cannot disconnect the circuit in time, which may lead to equipment damage or the risk of the fault expanding. To address the above problems, a combination device of transformer protection circuit breaker and fuse is now being developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing devices where circuit breakers and fuses for transformer protection cannot complement each other in terms of performance, resulting in poor reliability and flexibility of circuit protection, this utility model provides a combination device for circuit breakers and fuses for transformer protection.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a combination device of circuit breaker and fuse for transformer protection, including a circuit breaker base, a mounting base fixedly connected to the bottom of the circuit breaker base, a fuse base fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base, a grounding insulating column fixedly connected to the top of the fuse base, a current-carrying rod fixedly connected to the top of the grounding insulating column, a first fuse clamp fixedly connected to the outer side of the current-carrying rod, a circuit breaker insulating column fixedly connected to one side of the circuit breaker base, a circuit breaker frame fixedly connected to one end of the circuit breaker insulating column, a circuit breaker gate installed on the inner side of the circuit breaker frame, an overcurrent insulating column installed on the top of the circuit breaker base, an overcurrent column fixedly connected to the top of the overcurrent insulating column, and a connecting frame and a second fuse clamp fixedly connected to the outer side of the overcurrent column.

[0006] Optionally, a receiving pole is fixedly connected to the top of the power-conducting pole, and a fixing nut is threaded onto the outer side of the receiving pole.

[0007] Optionally, the mounting base is further provided with mounting plates fixedly connected to the four corners of the mounting base, and the top of the mounting plates is provided with fixing openings.

[0008] Optionally, the circuit breaker also includes a movable pin that is movably connected through the front of the circuit breaker frame, and the circuit breaker frame is movably connected to the circuit breaker gate via the movable pin.

[0009] Optionally, the top of the connecting frame is integrally connected to a power connection clamp, which is snap-fitted to the circuit breaker.

[0010] Optionally, a fuse rod is installed on the inner side of both the first fuse clip and the second fuse clip, and fuse connectors are fixedly connected to both ends of the fuse rod. The fuse connectors are snapped into the first fuse clip and the second fuse clip.

[0011] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a first fuse clip, a second fuse clip, a circuit breaker, and an overcurrent terminal, allows the operator to install the power cord on the connecting pole and secure it with a fixing nut. Then, the fuse connectors at both ends of the fuse rod are installed on the first and second fuse clips respectively. The outgoing wire is then installed on the circuit breaker frame. After installation, the circuit breaker is pushed, and it engages with the overcurrent clamp on the connecting frame, thus forming a complete circuit. In the event of an overload, the overcurrent clamp expands due to thermal expansion, thereby pushing the circuit breaker to trip and disconnect the circuit. The fuse rod will quickly melt and cut off the circuit due to the increase in current. At the same time, in the event of a short circuit fault, the fuse rod will quickly melt due to the excessive current, and send a signal to the circuit breaker to cause the circuit breaker to trip quickly. When the fuse rod fails due to aging, the circuit breaker can trip to cut off the power. Conversely, when the circuit breaker fails due to aging, the fuse rod can melt to cut off the power, ensuring that the circuit is protected. This mutual backup mechanism greatly improves the reliability of the protection system and reduces the risk of equipment damage or fault expansion due to the failure of a single protection device.

A connecting frame 17 and a second fuse clip 19 are fixedly connected to the outside of the overcurrent post 16.

[0020] It should be noted that the power cord is installed on the connecting rod 7 and fixed with the fixing nut 8. Then, the fuse connectors 20 at both ends of the fuse rod 21 are installed on the first fuse clip 9 and the second fuse clip 19 respectively. Then, the outgoing wire is installed on the circuit breaker 12. After installation, push the circuit breaker 14. The circuit breaker 14 is engaged with the connecting clamp plate 18 on the connecting frame 17, and a complete circuit is formed.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the power-carrying rod 6, and a fixing nut 8 is threadedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 7.

[0022] It should be noted that when the staff installs the power cord on the power receiving pole 7, the fixing nut 8 can be used to fix the power cord.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, mounting plates 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the mounting base 1, and a fixing opening 3 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 2.

[0024] It should be noted that when installing the device, the worker places the mounting plate 2 in the installation position, then inserts the bolts into the fixing port 3 and tightens the bolts to firmly fix the device in the installation position.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a movable pin 13 is movably connected through the front of the circuit breaker 12, and the circuit breaker 12 is movably connected to the circuit breaker 14 through the movable pin 13.

[0026] It should be noted that when the circuit breaker 14 is pushed or pulled, the circuit breaker 14 can be moved by the movable pin 13 and the circuit breaker frame 12, so that the circuit breaker 14 can be adjusted according to the needs.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the connecting frame 17 is integrally connected to the power connection clamp 18, which is snapped into connection with the circuit breaker 14.

[0028] It should be noted that by pushing the circuit breaker 14 to connect with the power connection clamp 18, the power connection clamp 18 can lock and fix the circuit breaker 14, so that the circuit breaker 14 and the power connection clamp 18 can be firmly fixed together.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a fuse rod 21 is installed on the inner side of both the first fuse clip 9 and the second fuse clip 19.

Then, the fuse connectors 20 at both ends of the fuse rod 21 are installed on the first fuse clip 9 and the second fuse clip 19, respectively. The outgoing wire is then installed on the circuit breaker 12. After installation, the circuit breaker 14 is pushed, and the circuit breaker 14 engages with the connecting clamp 18 on the connecting frame 17, thus forming a complete circuit. In the event of an overload, the connecting clamp 18 expands due to thermal expansion. This causes the circuit breaker 14 to trip and disconnect the circuit. The fuse rod 21 will quickly melt and disconnect the circuit due to the increase in current. At the same time, when a short circuit fault occurs, the fuse rod 21 will quickly melt due to the excessive current, and send a signal to the circuit breaker 14 to prompt the circuit breaker to trip quickly. When the fuse rod 21 fails due to aging, the circuit breaker 14 can trip to disconnect the power. Conversely, when the circuit breaker 14 fails due to aging, the fuse rod 21 can melt to disconnect the power, ensuring that the circuit is protected.
