Ring main unit and three-station switch thereof
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, in particular to a ring main unit and a three-station switch thereof.
Background
The three-station switch is used as an important element in a primary electric loop in the ring main unit, and is required to bear rated continuous current, rated short-time withstand current and rated closing current, and the requirements of reliable connection, high stability, small contact resistance and the like are met. The three-position switch integrates the functions of both the isolating switch and the grounding switch, and the mechanical locking is realized by one moving contact.

Detailed Description
For further explanation of the principles and structures of the present disclosure, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present disclosure provides a three-position switch that may be applied in a ring main unit. The ring main unit includes a housing divided into a plurality of compartments, such as a low pressure chamber, a mechanism chamber, an air box, a cable chamber, and the like. The ring main unit further comprises a breaker switch, a three-position switch and a three-position operating mechanism arranged in the gas box, wherein the gas box is filled with insulating gas, and the insulating gas can be sulfur hexafluoride gas for example. The three-station operating mechanism drives the three-station switch to act so as to realize grounding switching-on and switching-off or separation and separation of the switch.
As shown in fig. 1, the present disclosure provides a three-position switch 100, where the three-position switch 100 includes at least one switch unit 10 and a mechanism input shaft 20, and the mechanism input shaft 20 is connected to a three-position operating mechanism located in a mechanism room, and is driven by the three-position operating mechanism to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around itself.
The three-position switch 100 may be used in a three-phase current switching device. As shown in fig. 1, the three-position switch 100 employs a switching device for three-phase current, and a switching unit 10 is provided corresponding to each phase, i.e., the three-position switch 100 has three switching units 10. Each switch unit 10 includes a lever plate 11, a ground contact 12, an insulating connection plate 13, and a moving contact 14. The ground contact 12 and the moving contact 14 of each switch unit 10 are arranged on the same mechanism input shaft 20 through respective crank arm plates 11, and all move under the drive of the mechanism input shaft 20. The lever plates 11 are provided at intervals on the mechanism input shaft 20.
The lever plate 11 is provided with an opening for the mechanism input shaft 20 to pass through. The lever plate 11 is fixedly connected to the mechanism input shaft 20 by welding, and is capable of rotating by rotating the mechanism input shaft 20. The lever plate 11 has a first end 11a and a second end 11b.
The lever plate 11 has a plate-like structure with one large end and the other small end. The lever plate 11 may have a double-layer structure. One end of the ground contact 12 is clamped between the two plates of the first end 11a of the lever plate 11 and is fixed by a fastener. The fastener may be a connecting bolt or screw, etc. One end of the insulating connecting plate 13 is clamped between the two plates of the second end 11b of the lever plate 11 and connected by a pin 111. The insulating connecting plate 13 can pivot about the pin 111 relative to the lever plate 11. An intersection angle is formed between the insulating connecting plate 13 and the crank arm plate 11, and the rotation of the input shaft 20 is randomly changed.
The area of the first end 11a of the lever plate 11 is larger than the area 11b of the second end, and the area of the lever plate 11 gradually decreases from the first end 11a to the second end 11 b. The pin 111 at the junction of the lever plate 11 and the insulating connecting plate 13 is in the same line as the mechanism input shaft 20, and the junction of the first end 11a of the lever plate 11 and the ground contact 12 deviates from the line. The distance from the connection point of the lever plate 11 and the ground contact 12 to the mechanism input shaft 20 is smaller than the distance from the connection point of the lever plate 11 and the insulating connection plate 13 to the mechanism input shaft 20.
The lever plate 13 of each corresponding switch unit 10 is connected to the mechanism input shaft 20.
The grounding contact 12 comprises a vertical portion and a transverse portion, wherein the vertical portion is connected with the lever plate 11 and is driven by the lever plate 11 to rotate. The vertical portion is connected to a ground strap 18. The ground strap 18 is connected to the housing of the ring main unit by a flexible connection, thereby providing a reliable ground. As shown in fig. 1, the three-position switch has three ground contacts 12, with the lateral portion of each ground contact 12 being connected to a ground buss bar 18.
As described above, one end of the insulating connecting plate 13 is connected to the second end 11b of the lever plate 11, and the other end of the insulating connecting plate 13 is connected to the moving contact 14 through the pin 143. The first end 141 of the moving contact 14 is movably connected to the moving contact seat 15. A fixed frame (not shown) is fixed on the inner wall of the gas tank of the ring main unit, the fixed frame comprises a plurality of supports, and the movable contact seat 15 is fixed on one of the supports of the fixed frame. The second end 142 of the moving contact 14 is a free end. The connection point of the moving contact 14 and the insulating connection plate 13 is located between the first end 141 and the second end 142 of the moving contact 14. Optionally, the connection point of the moving contact 14 and the insulating connection plate 13 is located at or near the middle position of the moving contact 14.
The insulating connecting plate 13 and the moving contact 14 are both long-strip-shaped. Alternatively, the insulating connecting plate 13 and the movable contact 14 may be of a double-layer plate structure.
The insulating connecting plate 13 forms an I shape with the lever plate 11 and the moving contact 14, and the insulating connecting plate 13 can twist relative to the lever plate 11 and the moving contact 14, namely, the included angle between the insulating connecting plate 13 and the lever plate 11 and the moving contact 14 is changed.
The switch unit 10 further includes an isolation static contact 16, the isolation static contact 16 is fixed on an isolation contact seat 17, the isolation contact seat 17 is fixed on another support of the fixed frame, the isolation contact seat 17 and the moving contact seat 15 can be located on the same vertical surface of the air box, and the moving contact seat 15 is located below the isolation contact seat 17. Furthermore, the isolating contact seat 17 and the moving contact seat 15 may be located on the bottom surface of the air box or on different sides of the air box.
The second end 142 of the moving contact 14 can be electrically connected to or disconnected from the isolating stationary contact 16 under the driving of the mechanism input shaft 20. The isolating fixed contact 16 is located on a path along which the moving contact 14 rotates in a first direction (e.g., clockwise), and the ground contact 12 is located on a path along which the moving contact 13 rotates in a second direction (e.g., counterclockwise) opposite to the first direction. Thus, when the moving contact 14 rotates around the first end 141 to a certain angle in the first direction, the second end 142 of the moving contact 14 is electrically connected with the isolating static contact 16, and when the moving contact 14 rotates around the first end 141 to a second direction and rotates to a certain angle, the second end 142 of the moving contact 14 is electrically connected with the grounding contact 12, so that the isolating brake is separated from the grounding brake.
When the mechanism input shaft 20 rotates, the crank arm plate 11 is driven to rotate, the crank arm plate 11 drives the ground contact 12 and the insulating connecting plate 13 to rotate, and the moving contact 14 moves in the opposite direction relative to the ground contact 12 under the pulling of the insulating connecting plate 13. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the three-position switch 100 is in an isolated switch-off state and a grounded switch-off state, when the isolating switch part is switched on, the mechanism input shaft 20 moves in a first direction (for example, clockwise), the mechanism input shaft 20 drives the lever plate 11 to rotate, the first end 11a of the lever plate 11 drives the ground contact 12 to rotate in the first direction, the second end 11b of the lever plate 11 drives the movable contact 14 around the first end 141 thereof through the insulating connecting plate 13 to rotate in a second direction (for example, anticlockwise) opposite to the first direction, that is, the second end 142 of the movable contact 14 is pushed by the insulating connecting plate 13 to approach the isolated fixed contact 16, and after rotating by a certain angle, the second end 142 of the movable contact 14 is in electrical contact with the isolated fixed contact 16, as shown in fig. 3, so as to realize isolated switch-on.
When the isolating switch part is separated, the mechanism input shaft 20 rotates in a second direction (namely anticlockwise direction), the electrified crank arm plate 11 rotates, the insulating connecting plate 13 drives the movable contact 14 to move in the isolating and separating direction, and the isolating switch part returns to the separating state as shown in fig. 2.
When the grounding switch portion is closed (at this time, the isolating switch portion and the grounding portion are both in a switching-off state), the mechanism input shaft 20 moves in a second direction (e.g., counterclockwise direction), the mechanism input shaft 20 drives the lever plate 11 to rotate, the first end 11a of the lever plate 11 drives the grounding contact 12 to rotate in the second direction, the second end 11b of the lever plate 11 drives the moving contact 14 to rotate around the first end 141 thereof in the first direction (e.g., clockwise direction) through the insulating connecting plate 13, that is, the second end 142 of the moving contact 14 approaches the grounding contact 12 under the pulling of the insulating connecting plate 13, and after rotating by a certain angle, as shown in fig. 4, the second end 142 of the moving contact 14 is in electrical contact with the grounding contact 12, so as to implement grounding closing. Because the grounding contact 12 and the moving contact 14 move relatively and move towards the grounding closing direction, the closing speed of the grounding contact 12 and the moving contact 14 is increased, the arcing time of an electric arc can be effectively reduced, the contact ablation is reduced, and the service life of a product is prolonged. Compared with the prior art that the switching-on speed is improved by increasing the operation work of the mechanism by increasing the energy of the spring and the like, the operating mechanism of the three-position switch and the service life of the three-position switch are prolonged, and the stability of products is improved.
When the ground switch portion is opened, the mechanism input shaft 20 rotates in a first direction (i.e., clockwise), driving the lever plate 11 to rotate, and simultaneously driving the ground contact 12 and the moving contact 14 of the lever plate 11 to move in the opening direction, i.e., the ground contact 12 rotates clockwise with the mechanism input shaft 20, and the moving contact 14 moves counterclockwise about the first end 141 thereof.
Because the moving contact 14 and the grounding contact 12 are driven to rotate by the same mechanism input shaft 20, the grounding switch part can be ensured to be in a switching-off state when the moving contact 14 and the isolation static contact 16 are switched on, and the isolation switch part can be in a switching-off state when the moving contact 14 and the grounding contact 12 are switched on, so that electrified grounding can be effectively prevented.
The moving contact 14 and the moving contact 12 move in opposite directions during the opening and closing process, respectively, and the opposite directions refer to that the moving contact 14 and the moving contact 12 move in opposite directions around respective rotation axes, for example, if the moving contact 14 moves counterclockwise around the first end 141 of the moving contact 12 if the moving contact 12 moves clockwise around the mechanism input shaft 20, and if the moving contact 14 moves counterclockwise around the first end 141 of the moving contact 14 if the moving contact 12 moves counterclockwise around the mechanism input shaft 20, so that the moving contact 12 and the moving contact 14 move relative to each other or move away from each other.
In summary, the ground contact and the moving contact of the three-position switch of the present disclosure are driven to rotate by the same mechanism input shaft, and the ground contact and the moving contact are driven to move in opposite directions, so that under the condition of meeting the interlocking requirement of the switch device, the closing speed of the moving contact and the ground contact can be further accelerated, the arc burning time is effectively reduced, and the contact ablation is reduced.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, but all equivalent structural changes made using the description and drawings of the present disclosure are included in the scope of the present disclosure.
