Description

Comprise BN/TiB 2The contact material of diphase ceramic material, the purposes of contact material and contain the circuit breaker of this contact material
Invention field
The present invention relates to the contact that a kind of new contact material and this contact material are made, wherein said contact material comprises BN/TiB 2Complex phase ceramic.The invention still further relates to and comprise BN/TiB 2Pottery in circuit breaker as the purposes of contact, particularly as the purposes of the resistance in the contact, and relate to a kind of circuit breaker, this circuit breaker comprises and uses this pottery as the contact of contact material.
Background technology
Circuit breaker is the electrical equipment that control and protection is used in the electric power system.For the large electric current of disjunction such as 20kA under the condition of high voltage such as 24kV, need to design the special device with particular surroundings, for example medium voltage breaker (such as M24+ or FP61) or primary cut-out.
In circuit breaker, it mainly is to realize by mechanical system and particular surroundings on every side thereof that electric current disconnects.Thereby mechanical system makes the mobile enough in opposite directions distances of contact of breaker cut off electric current with enough speed.Particular surroundings be used for to be improved and is guaranteed separation between the contact on every side.Circuit breaker mainly is divided into five types according to the difference of arc extinguishing environment:
1.SF 6Circuit breaker: as modal circuit breaker type, wherein use SF 6As the arc extinguishing environment, and by mechanical system cut-out electric current.This switch disconnector can manufacture very small-sized, and uses also very economical (for example, for the voltage of 24kV, size is less than 375mm).But, SF 6As greenhouse gas, limited the use of, will progressively be replaced from now on.
2. air circuit: this is the circuit breaker of another kind of common type, uses air as the failure of current environment.Its shortcoming is that size is too large, and for example switch is usually greater than 600mm (for 24kV).
3. vacuum circuit-breaker: use vacuum as the arc extinguishing environment.Yet such cost is higher (for example than SF 6The cost of circuit breaker is high by 30%).
4. use other special gas such as N 2Or CO 2Circuit breaker as the failure of current environment.Can reduce SF like this 6Consumption, thereby reduce greenhouse effect.But that is that all right at present is ripe for this technology, does not almost have practical application.In addition, use the impossible large electric current of disjunction of this technology, such as no-load current (default current).
5. oil circuit breaker: oil is widely used as the failure of current environment in the application in early days.But seldom used at present this technology, because danger is too high.
Along with development in science and technology and to the reasons such as pay attention to day by day of environmental problem, the demand of circuit breaker is also upgraded and stricter day by day, for example wish not contain in the circuit breaker environmentally harmful SF 6And has a high power factor etc.
Although carried out a large amount of R and D work for disjunction itself so far, but seldom there is research to relate to electric current before the contact that is used for circuit breaker with resistance reduces disjunction, and relate to as this ohmic suitable contact material without any research, and at present more not corresponding (industry) use.
For the resistance material of the contact that is used for circuit breaker in this solution, even there is not relevant research.Only in similarly using, the someone has proposed to use the clay ceramic material to impact the large energy that brings as resistance for absorbing by short time current.Patents can be referring to CN 2802666 (" plate shape pottery carbon noninductive resistor ").
Yet this pottery is very limited in use owing to heat absorptivity is poor.Therefore, still do not find the solution of the feasible material that is used for the high electric current of breaking circuit breaker chamber interior in the prior art.
In addition, in circuit breaker, in order to reduce large electric current and arc extinguishing, usually can make water, cement or clay pottery (such as clay/carbon black pottery), but there are following many deficiencies in these materials:
1. these schemes are not paid close attention to switch itself, and just design the resistor of switch disconnector outside.
2. the use of these materials has greatly increased the volume of external resistor.
3. these materials can not bear very high temperature, and perhaps its resistivity is along with acute variation can occur in the variation of temperature, and for example, the short-term operation temperature of above-mentioned clay pottery can not surpass 250 ℃, and the long-term work temperature can not be above 200 ℃.
4. the long-term work meeting causes the problem of oxidation of these materials, and resistivity is brought irreversible negative effect, for example variation of resistivity, and this all is unacceptable in switch and circuit breaker.
Therefore, in order to satisfy present requirement to environmental protection and to address the above problem, in the urgent need to a kind of new resistance material, it can be inner as contact resistance at circuit breaker, and obtain thus a kind of circuit breaker.

The present invention has unexpectedly found BN/TiB 2Complex phase ceramic can satisfy the demand that proposes at the first bruss at this paper when being used for the contact of circuit breaker as contact material.
A first aspect of the present invention provides a kind of contact material that uses in circuit breaker, wherein said contact material comprises BN/TiB 2Complex phase ceramic.
That uses in the present invention " comprises BN/TiB 2Pottery " and " BN/TiB 2Complex phase ceramic " etc. the term synonym use, refer to by BN, TiB 2As main component, preferably be higher than the BN/TiB of 90% weight 2The pottery that sintering forms can also contain a small amount of composition or the impurity of other regulatory functions in this pottery.BN and TiB as main component in the final pottery 2, more than at least 90 % by weight of the preferred whole pottery of its content sum, preferably more than at least 95 % by weight, more preferably more than 98 % by weight, 99 % by weight for example.In this article, as special instruction is not arranged, " % " all refers to weight ratio.
In addition, AlN can be added as the 3rd composition in the pottery, the mechanical performance of pottery can be improved thus.But the total weight content of AlN should not surpass 6%, preferably be no more than 5%, for example is no more than 4 % by weight, be no more than 3 % by weight, be no more than 2 % by weight or less than 1 % by weight.Can obtain better mechanical performance (" TiB this moment 2The preparation of-AlN complex phase ceramic and performance study ", Wang Bin, master thesis, Wuhan University of Technology).
In order to satisfy further needs of performance such as sintering quality and oxidation susceptibilities, satisfying under the above-mentioned prerequisite to the Contents of Main Components requirement, also in preparation process, in some potteries, add an amount of Si 3N 4, Co, Ca, Ni, Cr, W and/or Nb.
In a preferred embodiment, this contact material is except using BN/TiB 2Outside the complex phase ceramic composition, also randomly contain other composition, for example be selected from one or more following compositions: AlN, Si 3N 4, Co, Ca, Ni, Cr, W and Nb.Preferably, this ceramic material contains AlN, can strengthen BN/TiB thus 2The sintering character of complex phase ceramic.In ceramic material, add Si 3N 4Also can improve this ceramic corrosion resistance.
The applicant also finds, in preparation process to BN/TiB 2Add Si in the pottery 3N 4Or AlN, can also improve the non-oxidizability of this complex phase ceramic.
In addition, as known to those skilled in the art, interpolation Co, Ca, Ni, Cr, the metallic elements such as W, Nb can improve the sintering character of pottery.Preferably, the metal of interpolation should not surpass 6% weight, otherwise too many metal ingredient can produce problem of phase separation, and can affect the stability of pottery.
Described BN/TiB 2Complex phase ceramic is used for circuit breaker to be used as contact material, the active component in the contact.For the contact material that is used as active component in the circuit breaker, require when large electric current is arranged by this circuit breaker, in this large electric current current range that fast-descending is extremely expected at short notice, thereby prevent that electric arc from producing.
The applicant has been found that TiB 2The TiB that/BN complex phase ceramic can wherein contain by regulating and controlling 2With the weight ratio (or volume ratio) of BN, thereby control this BN/TiB 2Complex phase ceramic obtains having required resistance (rate), can access thus the resistance (rate) with required scope, thereby be suitable as contact material, in circuit breaker.Particularly, TiB 2The resistance (rate) of the complex phase ceramic that forms with BN is along with TiB 2There is a critical value range in the variation of (phase) content.Near this critical value, marked change occurs in the resistance of complex phase ceramic (rate).Along with TiB 2The increase of content is higher than this critical value, and the resistance of complex phase ceramic (rate) obviously reduces.The present inventor has utilized this characteristic especially, by regulating TiB 2With BN ratio (weight or volume), control the resistance (rate) of this complex phase ceramic in required scope, keep simultaneously the good thermal conductance of this complex phase ceramic.Resistivity as the ceramic material of contact material of the present invention can according to the variation of concrete composition in the complex phase ceramic, change to the scope of hundreds of ohmcms in several m ohm cm, and obtain required resistivity.In addition, the resistance of contact material of the present invention (rate) also can be subject to the impact of the aspects such as material purity, pretreating process, sintering process and granular size, but those of ordinary skills will appreciate that according to prior art and so can access the diphase ceramic material with required resistance (rate) and thermal conductance scope.
Resistivity is the physical quantity that represents resistance characteristic.In this article, resistance (rate) expression resistance and/or resistivity.When description had the resistance element of identical shaped and size, resistance was corresponding with resistivity.
Corresponding to different circuit breaker design, usually also correspondingly different to the requirement of the resistivity of contact material.In the art, can use the means that well known to a person skilled in the art that ceramic material is made various sizes and shape according to the concrete needs such as required resistance sizes and circuit breaker design, have required resistivity.For example, for plug in circuit breaker, the resistivity that requires diphase ceramic material is usually in the scope of 1m Ω cm~500 Ω cm, preferred 5m Ω cm to 200 Ω cm, wherein more preferably 10m Ω cm~150 Ω cm, for example 50m Ω cm~100 Ω cm, more preferred 250m Ω cm~150 Ω cm.For example for the medium-pressure or high pressure circuit breaker, as 10,000V to 50 in the circuit breaker that uses under the voltage of 000V, wishes the resistance of this complex phase ceramic in 1-100 Ω scope, preferably at 10-80 Ω, more preferably in 10-50 Ω scope.As this BN/TiB 2When the resistance of complex phase ceramic is lower than described scope, do not have the effect that resistance material should have; And when resistance is higher than required scope, then usually can occur " firmly opening circuit ", circuit breaker self is had a negative impact.Usually, the selection of contact (material) resistance range can be determined by those of ordinary skills according to the concrete range of application of circuit breaker.
Thus, this BN/TiB 2Diphase ceramic material can be used in the circuit breaker, and the part as contact plays resistance, when unexpected large electric current passes through, reduces in short-term, rapidly electric current, tolerance thermal shock at this moment.Simultaneously, wish this contact after opening circuit, can again close and close circuit breaker, repeatedly recycle.

This diphase ceramic material is heat-resisting, the high temperature up to 1800 ℃ in the time of can bearing circuit breaker and open circuit.This diphase ceramic material can reduce temperature rapidly in this temperature, when reusing, still has high heat-resisting ability to bear, and stable chemical electrical properties.
Preferably, require to be used for complex phase ceramic of the present invention explosion does not occur because change in size is too fast when being subject to thermal shock, if deform, wish that change in size is very little, the contact of other elements of circuit breaker adjacent thereto can be do not had influence on owing to material deformation, but the integrality workability of whole breaker circuit can also be kept.For this purpose, diphase ceramic material of the present invention need to have certain thermal expansivity.For example, the BN/TiB that uses among the present invention 2The thermal coefficient of expansion of complex phase ceramic is 5 * 10 -6/ K~8 * 10 -6/ K (this numerical value is 20 ℃~1600 ℃ lower mensuration).
In addition, as circuit breaker (comprising contact), have large electric current and flow through when work, this can cause the temperature of circuit breaker (comprising contact) to rise rapidly at short notice.For the local temperature that the prevents material any adverse effect of too fast generation that rises, wish to have suitable thermal conductivity as the diphase ceramic material that contact uses.Preferably, the BN/TiB that uses among the present invention 2The thermal conductivity of complex phase ceramic can be 40~150W/ (mK) (20 ℃), preferred 50~120W/ (mK) (20 ℃).Perhaps, the BN/TiB that uses among the present invention 2The thermal conductivity of complex phase ceramic can be 30 to 50W/ (mK) (1200 ℃).
Be used for the contact of circuit breaker except using the complex phase ceramic contact material, also comprise current-carrying part.Current-carrying part can for for example metal coupling part, all be pressed metal sleeve, insulation protection.
On the other hand, the invention provides and comprise BN/TiB 2Pottery in circuit breaker as the purposes of contact.Preferably, this comprises BN/TiB 2Pottery in circuit breaker, be used as active component in the contact.
In a preferred embodiment, the described BN/TiB that comprises 2Complex phase ceramic as breaking resistor.As breaking resistor the time, pottery of the present invention can be reduced to breaking current as required and for example be lower than 1.5kA, preferably is reduced to be lower than 1.0kA, more preferably is reduced to be lower than 0.7kA, particularly when voltage is 10kV to 50kV, as being in the circuit breaker of 10kV to 50kV at voltage.
In the case, the resistivity of described pottery can for, for example, 1m Ω cm to 500 Ω cm preferably is higher than 1.6m Ω cm, more preferably 10 Ω cm to 160 Ω cm.
When as contact material, the thermal conductivity of described pottery can be 110/35 to 120/40W/ (mK) (20 ℃/1200 ℃).
In order to regulate this ceramic mechanical performance, sintering character and/or oxidation susceptibility, this complex phase ceramic can also contain AlN, Si 3N 4, Co, Ni, Ca, Cr, W and/or Nb.
More on the one hand in, the invention provides a kind of circuit breaker, this circuit breaker comprises can divide contact, the wherein said contact that divides comprises that above-mentioned any comprises BN/TiB 2The contact material of pottery, be particularly useful as resistance.The so-called contact that can divide is the executive component that makes circuit connection or disjunction.Obviously, can divide in the contact and can also comprise current-carrying part.
Described circuit breaker can also comprise galvanic circle, arc-control device and the optional structures such as operating mechanism.Particularly, the galvanic circle is used for loaded current, arc-control device then be rapidly, extinguish arcs reliably, circuit is finally disconnected.Minute resultant motion of contact drives by the operating mechanism work done and through transmission mechanism transmission power, and the mode of operation of operating mechanism can be divided into manual, electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic pressure etc.In some cases, the operating mechanism of circuit breaker can be not included in the body of circuit breaker, but provides to circuit breaker as product independently.In a preferred embodiment, can divide contact to comprise fixed contact and moving contact.Described contact comprises active component and current-carrying part.Particularly, this can divide the active component of hoe can adopt BN/TiB of the present invention 2Diphase ceramic material.Can according to concrete design needs, select BN/TiB in this diphase ceramic material 2Proper ratio, thereby realize required resistance value.
BN/TiB provided by the invention 2Complex phase ceramic has good mechanical performance as contact, such as enough hardness, toughness, resistance to wear and resistance to tearing etc., and the resistivity controllability is good, satisfies the high temperature resistant and stable properties such as chemical property.And this contact thermal capacitance is high, can bear the high temperature that heavy current impact causes, has satisfied thus the requirement of the large electric current of disjunction.
Therefore, in one embodiment, contact of the present invention can be worked under up to 1700 ℃ temperature and explosion not occured.In a preferred embodiment, contact of the present invention can be worked under up to 1600 ℃ temperature and explosion not occured.
Especially, this BN/TiB of the present invention's use 2The heat absorption of pottery contact is high, can bear the high temperature that heavy current impact causes; Before disjunction, can reduce large electric current, and make thus the electric current disjunction be more prone to carry out.This is that correspondingly, needed arc extinguishing bar will reduce greatly because like this can be so that need the electric current of disjunction less, for example calculate as can be known by simple, in the practical application for 24KV, 20KA, reach more than 20 Ω if seal in resistance, breaking current can be reduced to and be lower than 1KA.Therefore can use SF still less 6Thereby, also reduced the adverse effect to greenhouse effect.
