Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insulator testing, specifically relating to bending resistance fixtures for GIL three-post insulator systems. Background Technology

[0002] The GIL three-post insulator system is a key component in gas-insulated metal-enclosed transmission lines (GIL). It has a convex shape, comprising the conductor-covered area and three posts. In practical applications, it is subject to various factors such as conductor / shell thermal expansion and contraction, ground settlement, and assembly errors, resulting in various horizontal stresses. Under these operating conditions, the posts are susceptible to large bending moment loads. Furthermore, under complex stress conditions during transportation, installation, and operation, internal air gap defects may form, eventually leading to insulation failure and insulator explosion accidents with long-term operation, causing personal injury and property damage. Therefore, bending resistance testing is necessary to ensure sufficient mechanical strength to withstand these stresses and guarantee the safe operation of the equipment.

[0003] However, due to the unique structure of this three-post insulator, where each pair of adjacent legs is positioned at a 120° angle, stable installation and positioning are required before conducting bending tests. Currently, the bending test fixtures mainly used are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a fixing ring (not shown in the figure) located in the central insert of the three-post insulator is used to ensure that the position of the three-post insulator is relatively fixed and will not wobble; and a fixing bolt is fixedly connected between the drive and the end of the three-post insulator to be tested. After connection, the direction of the three-post insulator to be tested should be consistent with the direction of the drive tension F; the other two legs of the three-post insulator to be tested can be fixed or not fixed according to actual needs.

[0004] However, the above bending test only applies tension to one or more outriggers after the fixture is fixed. If tension is applied to each outrigger separately, only one drive is needed. After one outrigger is tested, the fixing bolt between the drive and the outrigger is removed, and then the fixing bolt is installed between the drive and the outrigger under test. This operation is very cumbersome. In addition, when two or three outriggers need to be tested at the same time, multiple drives are required, which increases the testing cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bending resistance fixture for GIL three-post insulator systems, designed to test the bending resistance performance of GIL three-post insulators.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A bending resistance fixture for a GIL three-post insulator system, comprising,

[0008] A disc-shaped adapter plate has a positioning bracket and two adjustable brackets fixed on its end face; the positioning bracket and the two adjustable brackets are distributed in a triangle on the disc-shaped adapter plate and correspond to the three-post insulator, and the three legs of the three-post insulator are respectively installed in the positioning bracket and the two adjustable brackets;

[0009] A conductor is inserted into the three-post insulator and pressure is applied to it by a pressure device.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning bracket includes,

[0011] A square fixing plate is fixedly mounted on the disc-shaped adapter plate by bolts;

[0012] The first upright plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the square fixed plate and extends axially along the disc-shaped transition plate. One of the legs of the three-post insulator is fixedly mounted on the first upright plate by bolts.

[0013] Preferably, each of the adjustable supports includes,

[0014] A sliding plate, which is mounted on the disc-shaped adapter plate via an adjustable structure;

[0015] The second vertical plate is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding plate and extends along the axial direction of the disc-shaped transition plate;

[0016] The other two legs of the three-post insulator are respectively fixedly mounted on the second upright plate of the two adjustable brackets by bolts.

[0017] Preferably, the adjustable structure includes,

[0018] The oblong hole formed on the sliding plate has its center line extending in a direction that corresponds to the extension direction of the leg in the three-post insulator.

[0019] The locking bolt is fitted with a sliding plate through a slotted hole and threaded onto the disc-shaped adapter plate.

[0020] Preferably, the three-post insulator has a high-voltage conductor through hole at its center, and the conductor is inserted into the high-voltage conductor through hole.

[0021] Preferably, the pressure device is a press, which applies vertical downward pressure to the conductor extending from the three-post insulator.

[0022] Preferably, the disc-shaped adapter plate is fixedly connected to a back plate, the back plate extends vertically, and the back plate is mounted on the base plate of the press.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] 1. Because the positioning bracket and two adjustable brackets in this utility model are triangularly mounted on the disc-shaped adapter plate and match the three legs of the three-post insulator, the three-post insulator is installed. Then, the conductor is inserted into the high-voltage conductor through hole inside the three-post insulator, and the conductor extending out of the high-voltage conductor through hole is subjected to vertical downward pressure by a press to perform a bending test, that is, to test the bending performance of the three-post insulator to meet the factory test requirements. Compared with the prior art, this method replaces the method of using a drive to pull the legs, so there is no need to replace the drive or add multiple drives to perform the above test method, reducing test costs, shortening test time, and improving test efficiency.

[0025] 2. Because the positioning bracket and two adjustable brackets in this utility model are installed in a triangular shape on the disc-shaped adapter plate and match the three legs of the three-post insulator, the adjustment capability of the two adjustable brackets allows the bending fixture to adapt to the installation of the legs of different lengths and thicknesses, so that the bending fixture can meet the testing requirements of three-post insulators of different sizes.
