Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of overvoltage protection devices, and in particular to a self-resetting spark gap overvoltage protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Self-resetting spark gap overvoltage protection devices are key equipment for overvoltage protection in power systems, mainly used in transmission lines, substations, and electrified railways. They achieve maintenance-free repetitive protection, effectively solving the reliability problem of transient overvoltage protection in power systems and providing important guarantees for the safe operation of modern power grids. Existing spark gap overvoltage protection devices generally achieve overvoltage protection by fixing conductive electrode plates at both ends inside an insulating ceramic shell and filling it with inert gas. However, this structure results in a fixed breakdown voltage because the electrode plates are fixed and the spacing cannot be adjusted. Since the upper limit of the operating voltage of the devices to be protected varies, the selection of devices must be based on the device data, causing complexity in use. Therefore, the above-mentioned problems need to be improved. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

The outer side of the ceramic insulating shell 2 is attached to the inside of the protective sleeve 1. Multiple vent holes are opened on both sides of the protective sleeve 1 and the ceramic insulating shell 2. An adjustment mechanism is installed inside the ceramic insulating shell 2, and a pressure reducing mechanism is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the ceramic insulating shell 2. The adjustment mechanism and the pressure reducing mechanism facilitate the adjustment and protection of the breakdown voltage of the device. Annular mounting grooves are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the ceramic insulating shell 2, and connection ports are opened on both sides of the ceramic insulating shell 2. Threads are opened in the connection ports, and connection blocks 9 are threaded into each connection port. Conductive wires 8 are connected to the connection blocks 9, facilitating the connection of the device to the protected electrical appliance through the conductive wires 8. The conductive wires 8 consist of an outer insulating layer and an inner copper wire. Conductive electrode plates 6 are connected to the adjacent sides of the copper wires. Multiple guide posts 7 are installed on the adjacent sides of the conductive electrode plates 6. The adjacent sides of the guide posts 7 are conical, facilitating the concentration of electrons at the tips to generate tip discharge.

[0020] In this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw 3 and an insulating guide rod installed at both ends inside the ceramic insulating shell 2. The insulating guide rod is fixedly connected to the ceramic insulating shell 2, and both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 3 are rotatably connected to the ceramic insulating shell 2. Multiple sealing gaskets are equidistantly installed on one side of the bidirectional lead screw 3. The ceramic insulating shell 2 has a sealing groove to cooperate with the sealing gaskets. A rotating wheel is installed at one end of the bidirectional lead screw 3. The conductive electrode plates 6 are threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 3. The other ends of the conductive electrode plates 6 are placed on the insulating guide rod and slide. The bidirectional lead screw 3 facilitates the adjustment of the spacing of the conductive electrode plates 6, thereby adjusting the breakdown voltage. The bidirectional lead screw 3 is made of insulating material. A conductive isolation sleeve is provided at the threaded connection between the conductive electrode plates 6 and the bidirectional lead screw 3. The pressure reduction mechanism includes a spring 4 installed in the mounting groove. A buffer plate 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 4.

The buffer plate 5 facilitates the protection of the device from high voltage damage.

[0021] Working principle: When using this utility model, first connect the conductive wires 8 on both sides of the device to the positive and negative poles of the device to be protected. Then, adjust the distance between the two conductive electrode plates 6 by rotating the bidirectional screw 3 according to the highest working voltage of the protection device, thereby adjusting the breakdown voltage of the device. When encountering situations such as lightning strikes that cause high voltage in the line, a large number of electrons accumulated at the tip of the negative pole guide post 7 will break down the insulating inert body inside the device, thereby limiting the overvoltage and protecting the device. When an overvoltage occurs, the electric spark generated inside the device causes high temperature, which in turn causes the inert gas to expand, squeezing the buffer plate 5 to move outward, thereby playing a buffering function and preventing damage to the device.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
