Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing surge arrester protective assemblies face challenges in providing a unified solution for securing burst parts, as different holders are required based on the expected bursting behavior, which complicates the design and installation process.
Innovation Solution
A fireproof receptacle is integrated to house the surge arrester indicator, providing thermal insulation, shatter resistance, and soundproofing, ensuring the secure containment and protection of sensitive components, including mechanically tensioned and chemical assemblies, while maintaining fire resistance and preventing fragment penetration or escape.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If different holders are used to secure different parts of the disconnecting device based on expected bursting behavior, then the securing effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single fireproof receptacle that can contain the entire disconnecting device or indicator assembly, replacing the need for multiple specialized holders. The receptacle serves multiple functions: thermal insulation, mechanical containment, and protection against bursting fragments, thereby simplifying the overall structure while maintaining security effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the functions of multiple holders into a single integrated fireproof receptacle. Instead of using separate holders for different components of the disconnecting device, the receptacle consolidates all protective functions into one unified structure, reducing complexity while ensuring comprehensive protection.
2Reliability
If a fireproof receptacle is used to house the surge arrester indicator, then the protective effect is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the protective function from the complex multi-holder system and places it into a dedicated fireproof receptacle. This separation allows the receptacle to specialize in protection while the disconnecting device maintains its functional design, achieving improved protection without proportionally increasing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The fireproof receptacle is designed to house the disconnecting device or indicator assembly within it, creating a nested structure. This nesting approach allows the protective receptacle to encompass the functional components without adding significant external complexity, as the protection is integrated at a higher structural level.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the receptacle is designed to be fireproof, shatterproof, and soundproof, then the protection against thermal, mechanical, and acoustic stresses is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs composite materials or multi-layer construction for the fireproof receptacle to achieve fire resistance, shatter resistance, and soundproofing properties. By using composite structures, the receptacle gains multiple protective functions simultaneously without requiring separate components for each protection type, thereby managing manufacturing complexity while enhancing overall protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The receptacle design applies different material properties or protective features to specific regions as needed. For example, certain areas may have enhanced fire resistance while other areas focus on shatter resistance, allowing optimized protection against different harmful factors without uniformly increasing manufacturing complexity across the entire structure.
