The technical scheme of the invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 9.
In a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the upper part of the plugging device and the lower part of the plugging device respectively comprise two parts of an integrated gas circuit as shown in fig. 4 and an integrated circuit as shown in fig. 5, wherein gas is in a single channel and is positioned at the center of the device and used for circulating the gas, external gas is sequentially input into a torch ignition mechanism through a base core 202, a lower gas pipeline 221 and an upper gas pipeline 121, the plugging position of the lower gas pipeline 221 and the upper gas pipeline 121 is sealed by adopting a 3-channel O-shaped ring 222, the circuit is in a multi-channel and is positioned at the periphery of the gas channel and used for transmitting electric signals of an external ignition control system such as a high-voltage circuit or a plugging in-place feedback signal, and the like, and mainly comprises the base core 202, a lower insulator 211, a female electric contact 212, a first cable 213, a second cable 113, an upper insulator 111 and a male electric contact 112, wherein the female electric contact 212 comprises two types of female electric contacts for ignition and a male electric contact for feedback, the male electric contact 112 comprises the male electric contact for ignition and the male electric contact for feedback, and the male electric contact for ignition is only, and the male electric contact for the ignition is connected with the male electric contact for the ignition control system, and the female electric contact for the ignition control system to be connected by the cable, and the male electric contact for the ignition control.
The male electrical contact 112 and the female electrical contact 212 are assembled into holes of the upper insulator 111 and the lower insulator 211 respectively by a pressure assembly method, the tail parts of the electrical contacts are connected with the cables, the connection ports of the tail parts of the contacts and the cables are positioned in the upper insulator groove 114 and the lower insulator groove 214 respectively, and insulating glue is filled in the grooves.
In order to prevent the high-voltage electric creepage phenomenon between the electric contacts, the end part of the female electric contact 212 is retracted into the lower insulator 211 to form a contraction groove 2111, the contraction groove 2111 takes the end part of the female electric contact as a starting point and extends to the upper end of the lower insulator 211, a chamfer is reserved on the outer wall of a notch of the contraction groove 2111, a boss 1111 is reserved at the connecting part of the upper insulator 111 corresponding to the contraction groove and the male electric contact 112, and the lower end of the boss 1111 is in a shape complementary with the chamfer of the outer wall of the contraction groove 2111. When not plugged, the shrinkage groove 2111 can effectively prolong the creepage distance between the female electrical contacts 212 and prevent the creepage phenomenon. After the plugging is completed, the boss 1111 is matched with the chamfer of the outer wall of the lower insulator shrinkage groove 2111, and the matching surface is an inclined surface, so that the creepage line between the male electrical contacts 112 can be cut off.
In order to prevent the creepage phenomenon between the electric contact plug-in position and the gas pipeline, the lower insulator 211 is provided with a circular boss 2112, the upper insulator is provided with a circular groove 1112, and the base core 202 and the lower gas pipe 221 are both contracted inside the lower insulator 211. When not inserted, the annular boss 2112, the base core 202 and the lower gas pipe 221 are contracted in the insulator, so that the creepage distance is effectively prolonged, and the creepage phenomenon is avoided. The mating surfaces of the circumferential boss 2112 and the circumferential groove 1112 after plugging can effectively cut off the creepage path.
To ensure accuracy of the plugging orientation, the three structures of the upper gas pipe lower portion 1211, the lower gas pipe upper portion 2211, and the trumpet-shaped upper outlet of the base core 202 together form an axial guide groove, forming axial guide. The inner wall surface of the torch shell 101 is provided with a limiting protrusion 103 along the axial direction, and the limiting protrusion 103 and a limiting groove 240 on the lower part of the plug-in device jointly form circumferential positioning. The axial positioning and the circumferential positioning support the accuracy of the direction of the plugging device.
To ensure smooth insertion, the surface of the O-ring 222 and the inner surface of the upper gas pipe 121 are both coated with grease. If the plug-in device is used at low temperature, low-temperature lubricating grease at corresponding temperature should be coated, and the similar viscosity of the lubricating grease at the use temperature should be less than or equal to 700Pa.s.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the plug device lower part comprises a base 201, a base core 202, a lower gas duct 221, a lower insulator 211, a female electrical contact 212, a first cable 213. The base core 202 is installed in the center of the base 201, is limited by adopting a boss, and is locked by using a screw 203. The lower gas pipe 221 is screwed with the base core 202. The base 201 includes a locking device 230, as shown in fig. 8, the locking device 230 includes an external nut 231, a spring 232, and a pin 233, and when the torch housing 101 is inserted, it moves downward, and after contacting with a bevel 2331 at one end of the pin 233, the pin 233 moves outward, and at the same time compresses the spring 232. After being inserted into place, the pin 233 is inserted into the locking hole 104 in the torch housing 101 under the urging of the spring 232, thereby forming a one-way locking of the torch. The included angle theta between the inclined plane 2331 of the pin shaft and the vertical direction is reasonably set, so that the weight of the torch acting on the inclined plane 2331 is more than or equal to the thrust of the spring 232, the weight of the torch can be used for completing the insertion, and the design is changed to reduce the resistance of the insertion action of the torch hand, so that the insertion action can be easily completed.
In the upper part of the plug-in connection, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the upper gas line 121 is screwed to the torch housing 101, while the upper insulator 111 is pressed against the torch housing 101 by means of the upper gas line 121.
In the invention, a plug-in position feedback mechanism is formed by using 2 female electric contacts 212, 2 male electric contacts 112 and an electrified induction circuit, and as shown in fig. 9, the 2 female electric contacts 212 and the 2 male electric contacts 112 are respectively named as a female electric contact for feedback and a male electric contact for feedback, and are connected in series by using a cable in a short circuit manner in the plug-in position feedback mechanism. The working method of the plug-in position feedback mechanism is that an electrified induction circuit is respectively connected with two feedback female electric contacts, when the upper part of the plug-in device and the lower part of the plug-in device complete plug-in actions, the series connected feedback male electric contacts can form a closed circuit, the electrified induction circuit judges the completion of plug-in actions, a plug-in position signal is sent to an external ignition control system, plug-in position feedback is completed, and the external ignition control system sends a high-voltage electric signal to the electric contacts after the plug-in is completed. The plug-in position feedback mechanism does not use a sensor, does not use various components, realizes direct feedback of plug-in position in the simplest and ingenious mode, reduces judgment links, reduces the probability of faults in the implementation process, and has the characteristics of simplicity, high efficiency and high reliability.
Be equipped with the cable through hole on the torch shell 101, second cable 113 one end and public electrical contact 112 afterbody connection, the other end passes cable through hole and torch ignition mechanism and is connected or short circuit, and the cable through hole top is equipped with cable groove 102, fills insulating glue with the cable through hole and the cable groove 102 of torch casing 101 in, can prevent that the rainwater from getting into grafting device through the torch, also can prevent simultaneously that grafting device seal failure's gas from getting into the torch inner chamber through cable groove 102. The insulator is made of a fine-machinable high-strength light insulating plastic material.
The present invention uses metal materials for the remaining components except for the lower insulator 211 and the upper insulator 111.
The plug-in device has high integration level, and solves the contradiction between the complex gas and electric plug-in functional structure and the limited space (the appearance is smaller than the hand holding size). The plug-in device is arranged at the bottom of the torch, the internal space is narrow, and meanwhile, the gas-electricity plug-in integrated device bears multiple functions and can only solve the contradiction through high integration. The invention combines the gas circuit, the circuit and the shape of the torch, integrates the structures into a whole by utilizing the way that the gas circuit is uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the center and the multipath circuits, and simultaneously fuses the structures of the circuit and the gas circuit to form a highly integrated, miniaturized and multifunctional plugging device.
The invention solves the contradiction between invisible splicing and reliable butting. According to the functional requirement of the device, the plugging device needs to meet the blind plugging requirement of the torch hand, namely, the plugging is completed under the condition that the torch hand does not use vision at all. The invention provides a perfect blind insertion solution by adopting a circumferential positioning and axial guiding structure, namely, after a torch hand completes insertion through an insertion device, a circumferential positioning groove (a limiting groove 240) can be found only by simple rotation, and then reliable butt joint can be completed under the guidance of the axial guiding device (namely, an upper gas pipeline lower part 1211, a lower gas pipeline upper part 2211 and a horn-shaped base core upper outlet 2021) by pressing down.
The invention solves the contradiction between smooth plugging and reliable sealing. The gas seal is different from the liquid medium seal, the gas medium may have slight leakage in the sealing process, in the semi-closed space of the plug device, the accumulation of the slight leakage may enable the gas concentration in the plug device to reach the explosion lower limit, and any slight discharge of the circuit may cause deflagration in the plug device. In particular, when the sealed medium is hydrogen gas which is easy to leak, the requirement for sealing reliability is raised to the highest degree. The invention adopts the method of three O-shaped rings for axial sealing, and can reduce the hydrogen leakage to below 1 ppm. The axial guiding method is adopted to uniformly compress the annular O-shaped ring during the plugging, and the lubricating grease is utilized to effectively reduce the friction force between the compression surface of the O-shaped ring and the metal surface, so that the plugging smoothness is greatly improved. If the plug-in device is used in a low-temperature state, the O-shaped ring which is stiff due to low temperature can greatly prevent the smooth plug-in, so that the O-shaped ring material with better elastic deformation in the low-temperature state is adopted. At the same time, the viscosity of the grease at low temperature increases, which also results in difficult connection, and grease having a lower similar viscosity at low temperature should be used.
The invention solves the contradiction between miniaturization and high-voltage creepage distance. The circuit of the plug-in device is mainly high-voltage power above 5000kV, the phenomenon that the high-voltage circuit climbs to the ground is extremely serious, and particularly when the plug-in device is used in a humid environment, the air dielectric capacity is reduced, and the dielectric interval is further prolonged. The creepage phenomenon mainly concentrates the positions of the end parts of the male and female electrical contacts, the cable connection parts and the like. The cable connection part is of a static structure, the connection point is retracted into the insulation by adopting the hole groove, and the hole groove is filled with insulation glue for encapsulation. The creepage phenomenon of the end parts of the male and female electrical contacts cannot be packaged by adopting insulating glue, and only the dielectric spacing can be prolonged through the structure, or the creepage line can be cut off. The creepage of the male and female electrical contact end is divided into three creepage modes of creepage between the electrical contacts, creepage of the electrical contacts to gas circuit metal and creepage of the electrical contacts to a torch shell. The convex surface and the concave surface are matched with each other in the inner ring and the outer ring of the insulator, so that the dielectric spacing is effectively prolonged. The contradiction between miniaturization and high-voltage creepage distance is effectively solved through a structural method and a packaging method.
