Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grid cabinet technology, and in particular to an air-insulated ring main unit. Background Technology

[0002] In power distribution systems, ring main units (RMMs) are key equipment primarily used for power distribution, control, and protection. Traditional RMMs mainly employ either air insulation or SF6 gas insulation technologies. Air-insulated RMMs are widely used in medium-voltage power distribution due to their simple structure and lower cost. However, existing air-insulated RMMs still suffer from poor moisture filtration capabilities, susceptibility to dust contamination, and inadequate emergency protection capabilities.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to invent an air-insulated ring main unit. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an air-insulated ring main unit, solving the issues of poor moisture filtration, susceptibility to dust contamination, and poor emergency protection capabilities still present in existing air-insulated ring main units. An air-insulated ring main unit includes a filter base, a support frame, an air compressor, a gas pipe, a cabinet, a switch door, and a top vent. The support frame is fixedly installed inside the filter base, and the air compressor is fixedly installed on the support frame; the gas pipe is fixedly installed at the air outlet of the air compressor. The cabinet is fixedly installed above the filter base, and the gas pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the cabinet. The switch door is installed on the front side of the cabinet. The top vent is fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet.

[0005] The air filter base includes a supporting bottom, an air intake chamber, a first filter screen, a second filter screen, and a mounting seal. The air intake chamber is fixedly installed on the surface of the supporting bottom, and the first and second filter screens are respectively fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the air intake chamber. The mounting seal is installed on one side of the air intake chamber, and a gas pipe is fixedly installed inside it.

[0006] The gas pipe includes a guide pipe, a delivery pipe, an air drying pipe, an inlet pipe, and an insulating gas pipe. The guide pipe is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the air compressor, and the delivery pipe is fixedly installed at one end of the guide pipe. The air drying pipe is fixedly installed at one end of the delivery pipe, and the inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the outside of the air drying pipe and extends into the interior of the cabinet. The insulating gas pipe is fixedly installed on the outside of the guide pipe.

[0007] The air filter base is a relatively sealed stainless steel metal box, and the air inside the air filter base can be drawn by the air compressor. After the air filter base is drawn by the air compressor, a negative pressure is formed. The air filter base draws in outside air through its own negative pressure, and the air is filtered through the first filter and the second filter.

[0008] The gas pipe inside is a set of stainless steel metal pipes that can transmit the high-pressure gas generated by the air compressor to the interior of the air inlet drying pipe, and the air inlet pipe can transmit the dried air to the interior of the cabinet. Several air inlet pipes are used and installed at different heights in the cabinet. The insulating gas pipe can be directly connected to the arc-extinguishing gas cylinder in an emergency.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] The air filter base of this utility model is designed to form a sealed cavity through a supporting bottom and an air intake chamber. It utilizes a first filter and a second filter to achieve multi-directional air filtration. When the air compressor draws air through the air pipe, a negative pressure is formed in the air intake chamber to drive the flow of outside air. The mounting sealing seat ensures an airtight connection with the gas pipe, while the support frame is fixed on the supporting bottom, providing a stable installation platform for the air compressor.

[0011] The gas pipe of this utility model is designed to deliver high-pressure gas generated by the air compressor to the air drying pipe for deep dehumidification via the gas guide pipe, and then distribute it to various height areas of the cabinet through multiple branch air inlet pipes to form a three-dimensional dry airflow. At the same time, the insulated gas pipe provides an emergency channel for external arc-extinguishing gas. The entire system is made of 304 stainless steel and achieves airtight connection through the installation of sealing seats to ensure gas delivery, and has the dual functions of dry air supply and emergency arc extinguishing.
