Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker technology, and more specifically, to a circuit breaker housing that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A high-voltage circuit breaker is a sealed switchgear that uses SF6 gas as both the insulating and arc-extinguishing medium. It is widely used in high-voltage, ultra-high-voltage, and extra-high-voltage power systems. The primary function of its casing is to protect the equipment from external environmental interference and damage, while maintaining the internal high-voltage insulating gas seal. Installation requires sequentially installing the equipment into the casing, a cumbersome and complex process.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 202421253655.5 discloses a GIS housing with an integral unfoldable installation structure. The housing is divided into upper and lower parts and connected by bolts, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of internal equipment. However, it increases the overall connection area of ​​the circuit breaker, which may affect the sealing and increase the risk of leakage. In addition, the number of bolts is large, making the installation cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a circuit breaker housing that ensures sealing effect while being easy to install.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A circuit breaker housing that is easy to install includes an upper shell and a lower shell, both of which are semi-cylindrical and can be spliced ​​together to form a complete cylindrical tube. The upper shell has a connecting end 1 on each of its two sides, and the lower shell has a corresponding connecting end 2 on each of its two sides. The connecting end 1 has a slot 1, and the connecting end 2 has a corresponding slot 2. When the connecting end 1 and connecting end 2 are spliced ​​together, the slot 1 and slot 2 engage, and a plug rod is engaged within both slot 1 and slot 2.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the cross-section of the insertion rod is a polygonal chain composed of three circles, the symmetry plane of the insertion rod overlaps with the end face of the first connecting end, and the two circles on the outer side of the insertion rod extend into the first connecting end and the second connecting end, respectively.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: one end of the insertion rod is provided with an end post, and the other end of the insertion rod is provided with a threaded head, and a washer and a nut are connected to the threaded head, and the two end faces of the washer are respectively pressed and fitted with the nut and the end face of the connecting end.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: a connecting groove 1 is provided on the first connecting end, and a connecting groove 2 is provided on the second connecting end. The first connecting groove is located on the side of the first slot away from the axis and is connected to the first slot. The second connecting groove is located on the side of the second slot facing the axis and is connected to the second slot. A retaining strip 1 is provided on the first connecting end. The retaining strip 1 extends into the second connecting groove. The side of the retaining strip 1 facing the axis abuts against the groove wall of the second connecting groove. The side of the retaining strip 1 away from the axis is in the shape of a "3". The "3" shaped side of the retaining strip 1 is fitted and engaged with the insert rod. A retaining strip 2 is provided on the second connecting end. The retaining strip 2 has the same structure as the retaining strip 1. The retaining strip 2 is fitted and engaged with the insert rod in the first connecting groove.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a mounting groove 1 is provided in the first connecting end, and a corresponding mounting groove 2 is provided in the second connecting end; a sealing strip is installed in both the first and second mounting grooves; the sealing strip is "L" shaped; the sealing strip is wrapped around the side of the first clip that is away from the first connecting end and the insertion rod; and a sealing strip is correspondingly wrapped around the side of the second clip that is away from the second connecting end and the insertion rod.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: two sealing strips are inserted into the upper shell and the lower shell, and the two sealing strips are respectively set at the two connection points of the upper shell and the lower shell. The inner side of the sealing strip is spliced ​​with the inner wall of the upper shell and the lower shell to form a complete cylinder. Both sides of the sealing strip are provided with a locking block. The two locking blocks are respectively inserted into the upper shell and the lower shell. The end of the locking block away from the axis extends obliquely towards the connection surface of the upper shell and the lower shell.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The two connecting ends of the upper and lower shells are connected by a plug rod. The cross-section of the plug rod is a polygonal chain composed of three circles. The symmetrical plane of the plug rod is flush with the connecting surface of the upper and lower shells. During installation, the upper and lower shells are first joined together, and then the plug rod is pressed into the two connecting grooves. The plug rod is simultaneously engaged with the two connecting ends, thereby connecting the upper and lower shells together, replacing the connection of several bolts, and making the operation convenient.

[0014] 2. Two retaining strips are added. Sealing strips are provided on the side of the retaining strips away from the insert rod and the connecting surface. The two sides of the retaining strips abut against the insert rod and the corresponding connecting end, respectively. After the insert rod is pressed into the connecting groove, the retaining strips are pressed tightly in the connecting groove and the sealing strips are squeezed at the same time, which increases the squeezing force of the connecting end on the insert rod, ensuring the connection strength while improving the sealing effect.

[0015] 3. A sealing strip is installed inside the connection between the upper and lower shells. The sealing strip is inserted into the upper and lower shells by the locking blocks on both sides. The sealing strip covers the seam at the connection between the upper and lower shells, thereby preventing the high-pressure gas inside the shell from acting directly on the seam and improving the sealing effect.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0026] A circuit breaker housing that is easy to install includes an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2. Both the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are semi-cylindrical and can be spliced ​​together to form a complete cylindrical tube. The upper housing 1 has a connecting end 11 on each of its two sides, and the lower housing 2 has a connecting end 21 on each of its two sides. The connecting end 11 has a slot 13, and the connecting end 21 has a slot 23. When the connecting end 11 and the connecting end 21 are spliced ​​together, the slot 13 and the slot 23 are spliced ​​together. The slot 13 and the slot 23 together hold a plug rod 3. The cross-section of the plug rod 3 is a polygonal chain composed of three circles. The symmetrical plane of the plug rod 3 overlaps with the end face of the connecting end 11. The two circles on the outer side of the plug rod 3 extend into the connecting end 11 and the connecting end 21, respectively.

[0027] During installation, first assemble the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. At this time, the first slot 13 and the second slot 23 form a polygonal chain-shaped combination slot. Press the insertion rod 3 into the combination slot. The insertion rod 3 is simultaneously engaged with the first slot 13 and the second slot 23. That is, the insertion rod 3 engages the two connecting ends together, thereby assembling and fixing the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.

[0028] One end of the insertion rod 3 is provided with an end post 31, and the other end of the insertion rod 3 is provided with a threaded head 32. A washer 6 and a nut 7 are connected to the threaded head 32. The two ends of the washer 6 are pressed and fitted against the end face of the nut 7 and the end face of the connecting end 11, respectively. The end post 31 and the washer 6 abut against the two ends of the upper and lower shells, respectively. Tightening the nut 7 can fix the insertion rod 3 on the upper and lower shells, thereby realizing the installation of the shell and making the operation convenient.

[0029] A connecting end 11 has a connecting groove 14, and a connecting end 21 has a connecting groove 24. The connecting groove 14 is located on the side of the slot 13 away from the axis and is connected to the slot 13. The connecting groove 24 is located on the side of the slot 23 facing the axis and is connected to the slot 23. A retaining strip 12 is provided on the connecting end 11. The retaining strip 12 extends into the connecting groove 24. The side of the retaining strip 12 facing the axis abuts against the groove wall of the connecting groove 24. The side of the retaining strip 12 away from the axis is shaped like a "3". The "3" shaped side of the retaining strip 12 fits and engages with the insert rod 3. A retaining strip 22 is provided on the connecting end 21. The retaining strip 22 has the same structure as the retaining strip 12. The retaining strip 22 fits and engages with the insert rod 3 in the connecting groove 14.

[0030] The first locking strip 12 and the second locking strip 22 extend into the opposite connecting end and engage with the insertion rod 3. That is, the extrusion force on the two connecting ends acts on both sides of the insertion rod 3. When the shell expands under the action of the internal high-pressure gas, the connecting end tends to expand outward. At this time, the expansion force acts on the insertion rod 3 through the inner locking strip 12, avoiding the lateral shear force that may be generated when the connecting surface is squeezed, thus ensuring the service life of the insertion rod 3.

[0031] A mounting groove 15 is provided in the first connecting end 11, and a corresponding mounting groove 25 is provided in the second connecting end 21. A sealing strip 4 is installed in both the first mounting groove 15 and the second mounting groove 25. The sealing strip 4 is "L" shaped and is wrapped around the side of the first clamping strip 12 away from the first connecting end 11 and the insert rod 3. The second clamping strip 22 is wrapped around the side of the second clamping strip 22 away from the second connecting end 21 and the insert rod 3. The clamping strips compress the sealing strip 4, thereby achieving a seal on the connecting surface. When the shell is subjected to high pressure and expands, the compressive force on the insert rod 3 increases, which in turn increases the compressive force on the sealing strip 4, improving the sealing effect and maintaining a stable seal between the upper and lower shells.

[0032] Two sealing strips 5 are inserted into both the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The two sealing strips 5 are respectively set at the two connection points of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The inner side of the sealing strip 5 is spliced ​​with the inner wall of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to form a complete cylinder. Both sides of the sealing strip 5 are provided with locking blocks 51. The two locking blocks 51 are respectively inserted into the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The end of the locking block 51 away from the axis extends obliquely towards the connection surface of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. After the shell is installed, the sealing strip 5 can be inserted from the side. The two locking blocks 51 lock the sealing strip 5 into the two connection ends, and at the same time, they have a certain pulling force on the two connection ends, which can prevent the upper and lower shells from separating. At the same time, the sealing strip 5 covers the connection point of the upper and lower shells, avoiding the high pressure inside the shell from acting directly on the connection point, relieving the pressure at the connection point, preventing the shell from separating, and improving the sealing effect.

[0033] Specifically, the two connecting ends of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are connected by a plug rod 3. The cross-section of the plug rod 3 is a polygonal chain composed of three circles. The symmetrical plane of the plug rod 3 is flush with the connecting surface of the upper and lower shells. During installation, the upper and lower shells are first joined together, and then the plug rod 3 is pressed into the two connecting grooves. The plug rod 3 is simultaneously engaged with the two connecting ends, thereby connecting the upper and lower shells together, replacing the connection of several bolts, and making the operation convenient.

[0034] Two additional retaining strips are provided. Sealing strips 4 are provided on the edges of the retaining strips away from the insert rod 3 and the connecting surface. The two sides of the retaining strips abut against the insert rod 3 and the corresponding connecting end, respectively. After the insert rod 3 is pressed into the connecting groove, the retaining strips are pressed tightly in the connecting groove and at the same time, the sealing strips 4 are squeezed, which increases the squeezing force of the connecting end on the insert rod 3, ensuring the connection strength while improving the sealing effect.

[0035] A sealing strip 5 is installed inside the connection between the upper and lower shells. The sealing strip 5 is inserted into the upper and lower shells through the latches 51 on both sides. The sealing strip 5 covers the seam at the connection between the upper and lower shells, thereby preventing the high-pressure gas inside the shell from acting directly on the seam and improving the sealing effect.
