Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of supporting electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a head structure of a high-voltage bushing. Background Technology

[0002] A bushing is a device that connects the internal leads of a transformer to the external high-voltage lines, serving functions such as mechanical support, current carrying, sealing, and ground insulation. To prevent rainwater from entering the bushing, conventional guide rod bushings use a "general's cap" structure at the head (air end), which often features a waterproof platform and a sealing design. However, because the tension of the overhead conductor is borne solely by the engagement of the general's cap with the conductive pipe threads, problems such as poor sealing and high current carrying capacity can occur, leading to bushing damage under prolonged high-temperature operation.

The conductive rod and the conductive tube are welded together to form an integral unit, serving as a current-carrying tube and a rolled tube; The capacitor core is wound onto a winding tube; The flange is fixedly connected to the capacitor core, and a first sealing ring is provided inside it; One end of the ceramic component is connected to the flange, and the other end is connected to the connecting seat B. Two third sealing rings are provided in the connecting seat B to provide axial sealing with the conductive rod. The ceramic component is provided with second sealing rings at the ends of the flange and the connecting seat B respectively. The second metal washer, disc spring, and connecting seat A are sequentially mounted on the conductive rod, which extends directly and is secured to the sleeve by special tooling and fasteners. The pressure equalizing sealing cover is provided with two sixth sealing rings to provide axial sealing with the conductive rod, and the connecting seat A is provided with a radial fifth sealing ring. The pressure equalizing sealing cover and the connecting seat A are fixedly connected by the second bolt. The first metal gasket is disposed outside the sixth sealing ring, and the first metal gasket and the pressure equalizing sealing cover are fixedly connected by the first bolt; The wiring terminals are mounted on the conductive rod and fixedly connected by bolts.

[0005] Furthermore, after the flange and capacitor core are fitted together by a snap-fit, epoxy resin is filled into the contact surface to achieve adhesive fixation.

[0006] Furthermore, the insulating medium filling the enclosed space formed by the connecting seat B, the ceramic component, the conductive rod, and the capacitor core is transformer oil.

[0007] Furthermore, the ceramic component and the connection ends of the flange and the connecting seat B are all provided with stepped grooves, and the second sealing ring is embedded in the stepped groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the connecting seat B is provided with two annular grooves, and the third sealing ring is correspondingly embedded in the annular grooves and has an interference fit with the outer wall of the conductive rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the second metal washer, disc spring, and connecting seat A are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the conductive rod, and the disc spring is in a pre-compressed state.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the pressure equalization sealing cover is provided with two annular sealing grooves, and the sixth sealing ring is embedded in the sealing grooves and forms an axial seal with the outer wall of the conductive rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the connecting seat A is provided with an annular groove, and the fifth sealing ring is embedded in the groove and forms a radial seal with the inner wall of the pressure equalization sealing cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the first metal washer is 0.5-2mm, and after being tightened by the first bolt, it creates a compression of 0.3-0.8mm on the sixth sealing ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the terminal block has a slotted hole on its surface, which is connected to the threaded hole at the end of the conductive rod by a bolt passing through the slotted hole, and the surface of the terminal block is perpendicular to the axis of the conductive rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Simple structure, easy assembly, high reliability and safety.

The conductive rod extends directly from connector B, connector A, pressure equalizing sealing cover, and the first metal washer, solving problems caused by thermal expansion and contraction, material deformation, and head heating, ensuring reliable sealing and a stable connection, and guaranteeing the stable operation of the power system. This design allows the conductive rod to maintain a good sealing and connection state under various operating conditions, reducing the occurrence of failures.

[0016] 3. By welding the conductive rod and conductive tube together to form a single unit, costs are saved and weight is reduced. The conductive tube enhances heat dissipation, and combined with the high conductivity of the conductive rod, overall heat distribution is optimized.
