Detailed Implementation
[0047] Example 1:
[0048] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, a cage-type lifting device for a GCB arc-extinguishing chamber includes a support assembly 2, an intermediate cover 3, and side covers 4 forming a three-dimensional cage frame. The intermediate cover 3 wraps around the center of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 along its axial direction, and both ends are closed by the side covers 4, forming a fully enclosed protective structure. The lifting frame 5 and the side covers 6 form a composite lifting system, realizing multi-point force lifting of the arc-extinguishing chamber. The arc-extinguishing chamber 1 refers to the GCB arc-extinguishing chamber being lifted. During lifting, the existing crane used for lifting GCB arc-extinguishing chambers is used to connect the lifting frame 5 and the side covers 6 for lifting operations. The operation is simple, and the multi-point force lifting method ensures the stability of the lifting.
[0049] The intermediate cover 3 adopts a two-part symmetrical structure. An inner positioning sleeve 301, adapted to the shape of the arc-extinguishing chamber, is installed on its inner side. A 3-5mm thick neoprene rubber pad with a Shore hardness of 60±5 is adhered to the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 301, effectively absorbing vibration energy during lifting. A 1-2mm gap is reserved between the positioning sleeve 301 and the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, ensuring positioning accuracy while providing buffer space.
[0050] The hanger 5 is a ring structure consisting of an upper half-ring 501 and a lower half-ring 502 bolted together by a connecting plate 503, and is fitted onto both ends of the intermediate cover 3. The limiting rings 505 at the edges of the intermediate cover 3 are embedded in the pre-reserved limiting grooves of the upper half-ring 501 and the lower half-ring 502, forming an axial positioning structure. The first lifting ring 504 welded to the top of the upper half-ring 501 is made of Q345B steel with a tensile strength ≥510MPa, capable of withstanding twice the rated lifting weight.
[0051] In one embodiment, the side cover 4 is divided into upper and lower parts, which are fixed to the upper half ring 501 and lower half ring 502 of the hanger 5 respectively by M12 bolts. During assembly, the middle cover 3 is first placed over the outside of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, and then the upper half ring 501 and lower half ring 502 are assembled so that the limiting ring 505 enters the limiting groove reserved in the upper half ring 501 and lower half ring 502. During the assembly process, the side cover 4 is assembled synchronously, and then the installation is completed by fixing it with bolts and nuts at the connecting plate 503. Conversely, it can be disassembled. The operation is simple.
[0052] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the side cover 4 is provided with a limiting ring 505 on its outer periphery; the limiting rings 505 of the middle cover 3 and the side cover 4 are fitted together; during assembly, the middle cover 3 is first placed over the outside of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, and then the side covers 4 are placed on both sides of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1. Then, the upper half ring 501 and the lower half ring 502 are fitted together and sleeved at the connection between the middle cover 3 and the side cover 4, so that the limiting ring 505 enters the limiting groove reserved in the upper half ring 501 and the lower half ring 502. Then, the installation can be completed by fixing it with bolts and nuts at the connecting plate 503. Conversely, it can be disassembled. The operation is simple.
[0053] After the connection is completed, a cage-like protective layer is formed, which can protect the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 during hoisting and prevent it from being damaged by impact.
[0054] The boom 601 of the side hoist 6 is connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, and the second lifting ring 602 is connected to the boom 601 via a pin. In use, the existing hoisting equipment connects the first lifting ring 504 and the second lifting ring 602 via a hoisting rope and a hook to hoist the arc-extinguishing chamber 1.
[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the intermediate cover 3 has a plug-in hole 603, and the boom 601 has a fixing block 604. The fixing block 604 extends into the interior of the plug-in hole 603 and abuts against the top wall of the plug-in hole 603. During the hoisting process, the force generated by the hoisting will act on the intermediate cover 3 through the boom 601 and the fixing block 604, thereby distributing the force generated during the hoisting process through the intermediate cover 3, reducing the force acting on the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, and thus increasing the protection effect on the arc-extinguishing chamber 1.
[0056] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support assembly 2 includes a connecting plate 202 connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber 1; a support 201 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 202; four casters 203 are installed at the bottom of the support 201, each caster 203 has a rated load of ≥500kg and has horizontal adjustment and locking functions. The caster adjustment screw has a stroke of 50mm, which can adapt to a ground slope of ±3°, ensuring the stability of the lifting device on uneven ground.
[0057] The connecting plate 202 of the support assembly 2 is slidably connected to the support 201 via a stabilizing seat 204. A spring 205 is provided at the bottom of the stabilizing seat 204, and the movable column 206 passes through the base plate of the support and is provided with a limiting plate 207. Optionally, the maximum displacement of the stabilizing seat is limited to 20mm, forming a two-stage buffer structure. During the lowering process after hoisting, the impact force generated when it first touches the ground will be buffered by the spring 205, thereby preventing the impact force during the placement process from affecting the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 and protecting the arc-extinguishing chamber 1.
[0058] This application is mainly used for GCB arc-extinguishing chambers, but is not limited to GCB arc-extinguishing chambers. Therefore, GCB arc-extinguishing chambers should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0059] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
