Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surge arresters, and in particular to an arc-extinguishing explosion-proof surge arrester. Background Technology

[0002] An arc-extinguishing surge arrester is a combination of a surge arrester and an arc-extinguishing device, integrating the functional characteristics of both. However, the academic community tends to focus on the surge arrester itself and its arc-extinguishing mechanism because "arc-extinguishing surge arrester" has not yet become a standardized technical term. As an electrical device, the primary function of a surge arrester is to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by lightning or power system overvoltages. This device is typically connected in parallel between a live conductor and ground. When an overvoltage is detected exceeding a preset operating threshold, the surge arrester immediately activates, limiting the peak value of the overvoltage through a discharge process, thereby ensuring the insulation safety of the equipment. Once the voltage drops back to normal levels, the surge arrester quickly returns to its initial state, ensuring a continuous and stable power supply to the power system. Three basic prerequisites for a surge arrester to function effectively are: its volt-second characteristics must match the volt-second characteristics of the protected insulation material; the residual voltage of the surge arrester must be lower than the impulse electrical strength of the protected insulation; and the protected insulation material must be within the protection range of the surge arrester. Arc-extinguishing performance is one of the core considerations in the design and application of surge arresters. To ensure that the surge arrester can quickly extinguish the electric arc after it operates and avoid damage to the equipment caused by the continuous burning of the arc, surge arresters are usually equipped with special arc extinguishing structures or use specific materials, such as the gas generation tube in the tubular surge arrester and the nonlinear resistor in the valve-type surge arrester.

[0003] In practical applications of arc-extinguishing surge arresters, the arresters are typically mounted on brackets at their base. However, some arrester bracket designs may be overly simplified, failing to adequately consider the explosive gases or pressures that may be generated when the arrester is struck by lightning. When the arrester responds to and absorbs a large amount of lightning energy, a high-temperature and high-pressure environment may be generated inside. If the explosion-proof design of the bracket is insufficient, it may not be able to withstand this extreme pressure, leading to bracket deformation, damage, or even more serious safety accidents.

[0004] Furthermore, the choice of materials for the support structure is also limited; materials with sufficient strength and corrosion resistance may not be used, which also affects its explosion-proof performance. During long-term use, the support structure may gradually fail due to environmental corrosion, mechanical stress, and other factors, further weakening its explosion-proof capability.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the end face of the stabilizer is provided with mounting holes, the surface of the stabilizer is provided with anti-slip pads, and the first lifting frame and the second lifting frame are symmetrically distributed on the stabilizer to maintain the stability of the explosion-proof isolation frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The explosion-proof isolation mechanism, through the coordinated action of the explosion-proof isolation frame, explosion-proof plate, and explosion-proof mounting base, forms an effective explosion-proof cavity, significantly enhancing the explosion-proof performance of the arrester's base.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, an arc-extinguishing explosion-proof surge arrester has a unique design and reasonable structure, which can effectively prevent lightning strikes and explosions. The surge arrester mainly consists of two parts: an explosion-proof mounting base 2 and a surge arrester body 5, with the surge arrester body 5 cleverly mounted on the explosion-proof mounting base 2.

[0027] To further enhance the safety performance of the surge arrester, the explosion-proof mounting base 2 is tightly connected to the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 via fasteners 3. An explosion-proof cavity 4 is specially designed between the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 and the explosion-proof mounting base 2, and a special explosion-proof plate is placed inside the cavity. This design, through the synergistic effect of the explosion-proof isolation frame 1, the explosion-proof plate, and the explosion-proof mounting base 2, ensures the explosion-proof performance of the bottom of the surge arrester.

[0028] To adapt to different installation environments, an adjustable top bracket 6 is connected to the lower end of the explosion-proof mounting base 2. The adjustable top bracket 6 is connected to the adjustable base bracket 7 via a fixing member 9, and both have arc-shaped grooves 8 on their side walls that are compatible with the fixing member 9. The adjustable base bracket 7 is connected to the first lifting frame 10 via a first rotating shaft 11, and the lower end of the first lifting frame 10 is connected to a second lifting frame 12. The second lifting frame 12 is connected to the stabilizing base 13 via a second rotating shaft 14, thereby enabling flexible adjustment of the angle and precise adjustment of the height of the surge arrester body 5.

[0029] In terms of structural design, the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 and the explosion-proof mounting base 2 are similar in shape, both having round holes that are perfectly aligned. The fastener 3 consists of a fastening screw, a fastening nut, and an anti-slip washer. The fastening screw is inserted into the openings of the protruding parts of the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 and the explosion-proof mounting base 2, and is secured by the fastening nut and anti-slip washer. By adjusting the fastener 3, the distance between the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 and the explosion-proof mounting base 2 can be changed, thereby adjusting the size of the explosion-proof cavity 4 used to store the explosion-proof plate.

[0030] The adjusting top frame 6 is fixed to the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 by bolts. Both the adjusting top frame 6 and the adjusting base frame 7 adopt a "U"-shaped design with their openings facing each other. Anti-slip strips are also provided at the connection between the adjusting top frame 6 and the adjusting base frame 7 to enhance stability. The fixing component 9 includes a throttle, bolts, and anti-slip washers. The anti-slip washers are fitted onto the bolts, and the bolts pass through the arc-shaped grooves 8 of the adjusting top frame 6 and the adjusting base frame 7, inserting into the screw holes of the throttle, thereby achieving fixation.

[0031] The first lifting frame 10 and the second lifting frame 12 are fixed together by fastening bolts, anti-slip washers, and nuts, and these fasteners 3 ensure a stable connection between the two lifting frames. The first rotating shaft 11 and the second rotating shaft 14 are both hinge structures, which connect the lifting frame to the equipment. The hinges are fixed with bolts to ensure the reliability of the connection.

[0032] The end face of the stabilizing base 13 has mounting holes and anti-slip pads to enhance friction with the ground and improve stability. The first lifting frame 10 and the second lifting frame 12 are symmetrically distributed on the stabilizing base 13, ensuring the stability and reliability of the explosion-proof isolation frame 1. Through this carefully designed structure, the surge arrester not only possesses strong lightning protection capabilities but also excellent explosion-proof performance, providing a powerful guarantee for the safe operation of the power system.

[0033] Install the surge arrester body 5 onto the explosion-proof mounting base 2. Ensure the surge arrester body 5 is correctly connected to the explosion-proof mounting base 2. Securely connect the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 to the explosion-proof mounting base 2 using fasteners 3. Ensure that a dedicated explosion-proof plate is placed within the explosion-proof cavity 4 between the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 and the explosion-proof mounting base 2. Adjust the position of the fixing member 9 by adjusting the arc groove 8 of the top frame 6 and the bottom frame 7 to change the angle of the surge arrester body 5. Use the first lifting frame 10 and the second lifting frame 12 to adjust the height using fastening bolts, anti-slip washers, and nuts. Ensure that the angle and height of the surge arrester body 5 are suitable for the installation environment requirements.

[0034] Secure the adjusting top frame 6 to the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 with bolts. Ensure that anti-slip strips are provided at the connection between the adjusting top frame 6 and the adjusting base frame 7 to enhance stability. Ensure that the mounting holes on the end face of the stabilizing seat 13 are correctly positioned and install anti-slip pads. Ensure that the first lifting frame 10 and the second lifting frame 12 are symmetrically distributed on the stabilizing seat 13 to enhance stability.

[0035] Adjust the distance between the explosion-proof isolation frame 1 and the explosion-proof mounting base 2 by adjusting fastener 3 (fastening screw, fastening nut, and anti-slip washer). After adjustment, ensure that the space size of the explosion-proof cavity 4 meets the requirements. Loosen the fixing parts 9 (throttle, bolt, and anti-slip washer) and adjust the position of the bolts in the arc groove 8 of the adjusting top frame 6 and the adjusting base frame 7. After adjustment, re-tighten the bolts to ensure that the angle of the surge arrester body 5 meets the requirements. Loosen the fastening bolts, anti-slip washers, and nuts of the first lifting frame 10 and the second lifting frame 12. Adjust the height of the lifting frame to ensure that the height of the surge arrester body 5 meets the requirements. Re-tighten the fastener 3 to ensure that the lifting frame is stably connected. Ensure that all connecting parts (such as fixing parts 9, fastening bolts, etc.) are correctly fixed and not loose. Check that the anti-slip pads are correctly installed on the stabilizing base 13 to ensure sufficient friction with the ground.
