[0001] This utility model relates to a flange plate for surge arresters that is easy to inflate, and belongs to the field of surge arrester manufacturing technology. Background Technology
[0002] The flange plate for a 500kV gas-filled surge arrester is one of the key components of the arrester. Previously, the flange plate could only be sealed by using a vacuuming fixture to evacuate from above and fill it with nitrogen. This relied on the fact that nitrogen's density is lower than air's to achieve a seal. However, because the fixture wasn't perfectly fitted to the flange plate, leaks were possible. This required workers to repeatedly adjust the fixture and test for leaks. This method was slow, time-consuming, and physically demanding, making it increasingly difficult for this type of flange plate to meet the requirements of mass production and high efficiency.

[0028] The flange plate using the above scheme is assembled onto the 500KV porcelain bushing surge arrester, and vacuuming and nitrogen filling can be performed directly through the external PC threaded straight connector;
[0029] Furthermore, the symmetrical hollow slot 2 is a two oppositely arranged half-crescent "moon" structure, and the two hollow slots are separated by the middle beam 1.2 of the plate;
[0030] Furthermore, a bolt countersunk hole 9 is inserted into every three outer through holes 3 arranged around the plate 1; the specifications of the bolt countersunk hole 9 are the same as those of the inner bolt countersunk hole 4.
[0031] Furthermore, a sealing ring is embedded in the first sealing groove 5, and a second sealing groove 6 is provided around the end face of the plate 1 in the opposite direction to the first sealing groove 5, and a sealing ring is embedded in the second sealing groove 6.
[0032] In this embodiment, the outer layer through holes 3 of the plate are set in a quantity of 12, with a diameter of 12mm; furthermore, the number of bolt countersunk holes 9 inserted in the outer layer through holes 3 is 4;

[0034] In this design, the flange plate is installed in the surge arrester, which includes an "umbrella-shaped" outer sleeve with an internal cavity. An upper end seat and a lower end seat are respectively fitted onto the upper and lower ends of the outer sleeve. The surface of the upper end seat is flush with the upper end face of the outer sleeve, and the surface of the lower end seat is flush with the lower end face of the outer sleeve. A flange plate is installed at the upper and lower ends of the outer sleeve. The flange plate at the upper end of the outer sleeve is placed on the upper surface of the upper end seat and fixed by bolts passing through the outer through hole 3 of the plate. At the same time, the position of the second sealing groove 6 of the plate corresponds to the upper end face of the outer sleeve, and the sealing is maintained by the sealing ring in the second sealing groove 6.
[0035] A pressure plate is provided on the upper part of the flange plate at the upper end of the outer sleeve. The pressure plate is fixedly connected to the inner bolt countersunk hole 4 on the flange plate body 1 by several bolts to realize the connection between the pressure plate and the flange plate. At the same time, the sealing ring provided in the first sealing groove 5 of the flange plate body and the pressure plate achieve a seal.
[0036] The flange plate at the lower end of the outer sleeve is set in the same way as the flange plate at the upper end of the outer sleeve; through the above structural arrangement, the outer sleeve of the surge arrester, the flange plates at the upper and lower ends of the outer sleeve, and the pressure plate outside the flange plate together form the internal sealed space of the entire surge arrester.
[0037] Furthermore, the height of the planar region 1.1, i.e. the plate thickness, is 22mm; the length of the planar region 1.1 is 80mm.
[0038] Furthermore, the ventilation channel 7 has a diameter of 4 mm;

[0040] Furthermore, the connector is a PC threaded straight connector, model PC10-03;
[0041] Furthermore, to enhance the sealing performance of the air extraction and inflation structure of this solution, a countersunk bolt hole 10 is symmetrically provided on both sides of the ventilation channel 7 at the center of the plate plane area 1.1. The countersunk bolt hole 10 has a diameter of 10mm. The two countersunk bolt holes 10 are used to cooperate with the flange plate using a sealing auxiliary unit to provide auxiliary sealing for the ventilation channel 7, ensuring that the surge arrester can maintain excellent sealing performance under high vacuum conditions, effectively reducing the risk of gas leakage and ensuring the stable operation of the system.

[0045] Based on the above scheme, when the surge arrester is evacuated, the PC threaded straight connector is connected to the threaded connection hole 8 outside the venting channel 7 to complete the evacuation operation; after evacuation, nitrogen is introduced, and after nitrogen introduction, the PC threaded straight connector is removed; then, the sealing auxiliary unit cooperates with the flange plate to ensure the system's sealing performance; after removing the PC threaded straight connector, the spherical rubber ring 9 is first placed at the junction of the threaded connection hole 8 of the flange plate and the venting channel 7, the spherical rubber ring 9 blocks the venting channel 7, and then the sealing screw 10 is removed from the spherical rubber ring. 9. The external threaded connection hole 8 is screwed in, and then the plug 11 is plugged into the hexagonal mating hole of the sealing screw 10. After installation, the plug 11 extends a part of the protruding area relative to the plate plane area 1.1. An annular rubber ring 12 is installed on the outer periphery of the plate plane area 1.1, and then the pressure plate 3 is pressed on the outer side of the annular rubber ring 13 and fastened to the two side bolt countersunk holes 10 by two fixing bolts 14, thereby realizing the cooperation between the sealing auxiliary unit and the flange plate and ensuring the sealing effect of the system.
[0046] It should be noted that the flange plate in this solution is equivalent to the upper sealing cover plate structure in a surge arrester, which is common knowledge. It can be considered as an optimization and improvement of the upper sealing cover plate structure of a surge arrester.
