[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0022] An assembly structure for easy internal electrode post assembly includes an upper terminal block 1, a vacuum interrupter 3, a silicone layer for the interrupter 4, epoxy resin for the electrode post 5, a current transformer 6, a lower terminal block 7, a flexible connection 9, a silicone rubber layer for the electrode post 10, an insulating pull rod 11, and a capacitor module 12. The silicone layer for the interrupter 4 covers the outer wall of the vacuum interrupter 3. The stationary end of the vacuum interrupter 3 is connected to the upper terminal block 1, and the moving end of the vacuum interrupter 3 is connected to the lower terminal block 7 through the flexible connection 9.
[0023] Among them, the silicone layer 4 of the arc-extinguishing chamber is made of silicone rubber material with high elasticity and high insulation performance. It is tightly attached to the outer wall of the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber 3 through hot pressing molding process, which can effectively isolate external moisture, dust and other impurities and protect the insulation performance of the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber 3; the flexible connection 9 is made of copper braided tape material, which has good flexibility and can ensure stable current transmission when the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber 3 is opened and closed, and avoid loosening of the connection due to mechanical vibration.
[0024] The silicone layer 4 of the arc-extinguishing chamber, the upper terminal 1 and the lower terminal 7 are all cast inside the epoxy pole 5, and the flexible connection 9 is fixedly installed to the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber 3 by the insulating tie rod 11. An installation groove is opened on the epoxy pole 5, and the capacitor module 12 is installed in the installation groove. The current transformer 6 and the epoxy pole 5 are integrally formed by the casting process, and the silicone rubber layer 10 of the pole is covered on the outer wall of the epoxy pole 5.
[0025] During the casting process, a vacuum casting process is adopted to inject the epoxy 5 material of the electrode post into the mold under a vacuum environment, so that the silicone layer 4 of the arc-extinguishing chamber, the terminal block and other components are completely wrapped with epoxy resin, eliminating internal air gaps and improving the overall insulation strength. The insulating tie rod 11 is made of high-strength epoxy resin. One end of it is fixed to the moving end of the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber 3 by a pin, and the other end is connected to the operating mechanism. While achieving electrical insulation, it can reliably transmit the opening and closing operating force. The dimensions of the mounting slot of the capacitor module 12 are precisely designed to fit tightly with the capacitor module 12. After installation, it is filled with insulating sealant to ensure that the capacitor module 12 is stable and its electrical performance is not affected. The silicone rubber layer 10 of the electrode post is covered with the outer wall of the epoxy 5 of the electrode post through an extrusion molding process to form an outer insulating layer that is resistant to flashover and aging. The vacuum casting process and integrated molding design make the electrode post structure compact, reduce the risk of partial discharge and improve insulation performance.
[0026] In an optional embodiment: a tie rod groove is provided at the bottom of the epoxy pole 5, and the insulating tie rod 11 is located inside the tie rod groove.
[0027] It should be noted that the shape of the pull rod groove matches the insulating pull rod 11, and its inner wall is finely polished to meet the surface roughness requirements. This ensures smooth sliding of the insulating pull rod 11 while reducing frictional loss. The depth and length of the pull rod groove are precisely designed according to the opening and closing stroke of the vacuum interrupter 3 to ensure that the insulating pull rod 11 will not interfere with the epoxy pole 5 during movement, and to provide good guidance and support for the insulating pull rod 11.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, a take-off wire 121 is also included, through which the capacitor module 12 is electrically connected to the upper terminal 1 and is cast inside the epoxy column 5.
[0029] It should be noted that the take-up wire 121 is made of high-temperature resistant, high-insulation fluoroplastic insulated wire, and its wire diameter is reasonably selected according to the working current of the capacitor module 12 to ensure that the current carrying capacity meets the requirements. Before casting, the take-up wire 121 is electrically connected to the capacitor module 12 and the upper terminal 1 by crimping, and sealed with insulating heat shrink tubing to prevent epoxy resin from seeping into the connection part during the casting process and affecting the electrical performance. The wiring of the take-up wire 121 inside the epoxy column 5 has been optimized to avoid collision or compression with other components. The design of the take-up wire 121 realizes a reliable electrical connection between the capacitor module 12 and the upper terminal 1. The sealing and wiring optimization treatment ensures the stability and safety of the electrical connection. At the same time, the casting and fixing method makes the take-up wire 121 less susceptible to damage from external pulling, thus improving the reliability of the overall structure.
[0030] In an optional embodiment: the epoxy pole 5 is provided with a side channel 61 on one side of the tie rod groove, and the secondary wire of the current transformer 6 is led out of the pole through the side channel 61.
[0031] It should be noted that the side channel 61 has a circular cross-sectional shape, with a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the secondary wire of the current transformer 6, ensuring that the secondary wire can pass through smoothly. The inside of the channel is smooth and burr-free, and a rubber sealing ring is installed at the exit point of the secondary wire to seal and protect it. The exit position of the side channel 61 is carefully designed to facilitate the connection of the secondary wire to external measurement and protection devices, and a protective sleeve is installed at the exit to prevent the secondary wire from being damaged by external mechanical forces and environmental corrosion. The design of the side channel 61 provides a convenient channel for the lead-out of the secondary wire of the current transformer 6. The sealing and protection measures ensure the insulation performance and mechanical strength of the secondary wire, facilitate the wiring and maintenance of the secondary circuit of the equipment, and improve the operability of the equipment.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, a first screw 2 is also included, and the upper terminal 1 is fixedly installed to the stationary end of the vacuum interrupter 3 by the first screw 2.
[0033] It should be noted that the first screw 2 is an M10 socket head cap screw made of high-strength stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance. During installation, thread-locking adhesive is applied to the screw connection, and a torque wrench is used to tighten it to the specified torque to ensure a firm and reliable connection. At the same time, a spring washer and a flat washer are installed under the screw head. The spring washer prevents the screw from loosening, while the flat washer increases the contact area, making the pressure evenly distributed and avoiding damage to the surface of the components. The use of the first screw 2 and its matching parts ensures the tightness and stability of the connection between the upper terminal 1 and the stationary end of the vacuum interrupter 3. The application of thread-locking adhesive and washers effectively prevents the screw from loosening, improves the reliability of the electrical connection, and reduces the risk of failure caused by loose connection.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, a second screw 8 is also included, through which the flexible connection 9 is fixedly installed to the lower terminal 7.
[0035] It should be noted that the second screw 8 is an M8 socket head cap screw, also made of high-strength stainless steel. During installation, first place the flexible connector 9 on the connecting surface of the lower terminal 7, then pass the second screw 8 through the connecting hole between the flexible connector 9 and the lower terminal 7, and then install the flat washer and spring washer in sequence. Finally, tighten with a torque wrench. To ensure good electrical contact between the flexible connector 9 and the lower terminal 7, apply conductive grease to the connecting surface to reduce contact resistance. The installation method of the second screw 8 ensures a firm mechanical connection and good electrical contact between the flexible connector 9 and the lower terminal 7. The use of conductive grease reduces contact resistance, reduces heat generation, and improves the safety and reliability of equipment operation.
[0036] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, the current flows in from the upper terminal 1 and is transmitted to the stationary end of the vacuum interrupter 3. Inside the vacuum interrupter 3, after the current is extinguished, it flows out from the moving end and is transmitted to the lower terminal 7 through the fixed connection of the flexible connector 9 and the second screw 8, thus completing the current transmission process. The vacuum interrupter 3 is the core arc extinguishing element. When the current is interrupted, an electric arc is generated inside it. Because the vacuum interrupter 3 is in a high vacuum state, the electric arc spreads and is extinguished rapidly in the vacuum environment, thereby achieving a highly efficient arc extinguishing function and protecting the equipment from electric arc damage. The silicone layer 4 of the interrupter chamber covers the outer wall of the vacuum interrupter 3, providing additional insulation protection to prevent current leakage and external interference. The epoxy 5 of the pole post is used as the main shell material to cast the upper terminal 1, the lower terminal 7, and the silicone layer 4 of the interrupter chamber, forming a robust and insulating shell structure, further protecting the internal components from the influence of the external environment.
[0037] The silicone rubber layer 10 of the electrode post is wrapped around the outer wall of the epoxy electrode post 5, providing additional protection against moisture, dust and corrosion, and extending the service life of the equipment. The capacitor module 12 is installed in the mounting groove opened on the epoxy electrode post 5 and is electrically connected to the upper terminal 1 through the take-up wire 121, realizing real-time monitoring and signal acquisition of the equipment's operating status. The current transformer 6 is integrally formed with the epoxy electrode post 5 through a casting process. Its secondary wire is led out of the electrode post through the side channel 61 opened on the side of the epoxy electrode post 5, realizing stable transmission of current signals, which facilitates remote monitoring and fault diagnosis of the equipment. The flexible connection 9 is fixedly installed with the vacuum interrupter 3 through the insulating tie rod 11. The insulating tie rod 11 is located inside the tie rod groove opened at the bottom of the epoxy electrode post 5, providing stable mechanical support and preventing the components from loosening and displacement during operation.
[0038] 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.
