The present invention relates to a switchgear driving device and, in particular, to a switchgear driving device suitable for the type of switchgear in which the opening/closing operation on the electric current shut-off part is hydraulically conducted.
Regarding a switchgear such as a gas-insulated switchgear having an electric current shut-off part, there exists, for example, as a driving device for driving a moving contact constituting the electric current shut-off part, a hydraulic operation device which is equipped with a pressure accumulator using a compressed gas such as N2 gas and which causes a pressure oil due to this pressure accumulator to act on a piston to perform the opening/closing operation, or a spring operation device which exerts the repulsive force of an energy storing coil spring or a disk spring to perform the opening/closing operation.
Of these, in the hydraulic operation device, a compressed gas such as N2 gas is used in the pressure accumulator serving as the drive source, so that the gas undergoes expansion/contraction due to a change in the ambient temperature, and, in some cases, the hydraulic oil pressure undergoes fluctuation. On the other hand, the spring operation device requires a complicated mechanism, which involves a large number of components, making it necessary, in some cases, to conduct maintenance (See Patent Document 1).
Meanwhile, there is known a hydraulic operation device which utilizes no compressed gas and in which there is provided a mechanism effecting pressure accumulation by a turning-off pressure accumulation spring and a turning-on pressure accumulation spring such that the hydraulic oil pressure does not undergo fluctuation due to a change in the ambient temperature, thus reducing the complicated mechanism part (See Patent Document 2).
Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a device which is not a hydraulic operation device but a spring type operation device and in which an opening spring is arranged on the radial side of a closing spring.
Patent Document 1: JP-2011-9126-A
Patent Document 2: JP-2004-220821-A
Patent Document 3: JP-2013-510396-T
It should be noted, however, that in the hydraulic operation device disclosed in Patent Document 2, in which the complicated mechanism part as required in Patent Document 1 is reduced to prevent an increase in the number of components, there are installed the turning-off pressure accumulation spring and the turning-on pressure accumulation spring, which are installed at different positions, so that there is the possibility of the size of the device being increased. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a spring type operation device, and acknowledges the existence of no such problems as involved in a hydraulic operation device.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. It is an object of the present invention to provide a switchgear driving device which is not influenced by the ambient temperature and which is small and of high reliability.
To achieve the above object, there is provided, according to the present invention, a switchgear driving device which effects the turning-on/off of contacts including a stationary electrode and a movable electrode by using a hydraulic oil. The switchgear driving device includes: a rod coupled to the movable electrode; an operation piston connected to the rod; a fluid pressure mechanism part including an operation cylinder in which the operation piston slides, a turning-on pressure accumulation chamber and a turning-off pressure accumulation chamber effecting pressure accumulation on the hydraulic oil for turning-on/off, and a main control valve controlling the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the operation cylinder; a turning-on pressure accumulation piston sliding in the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber; a turning-on pressure accumulation spring which imparts a driving force to the turning-on pressure accumulation piston to pressurize the hydraulic oil within the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber; a turning-off pressure accumulation piston sliding inside the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber; a turning-off pressure accumulation spring which imparts a driving force to the turning-off pressure accumulation piston to pressurize the hydraulic oil in the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber; and a spring case accommodating the turning-on pressure accumulation spring and the turning-off pressure accumulation spring. The turning-off pressure accumulation spring is arranged inside the turning-on pressure accumulation spring.
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a switchgear driving device which is not influenced by the ambient temperature and which is small and of high reliability.

Arranged in the sliding part of the fluid pressure mechanism part 13 for the rod 3 is a seal member 27 effecting sealing between the SF6 gas and the fluid.
Next, the operation of the gas circuit breaker driving device according to the above-described embodiment will be described.
First, the closed state of the gas circuit breaker driving device shown in
In the drawings, a fluid is sealed in the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6, and the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8 is maintained in a state in which it is compressed by the high pressure of the fluid of the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6 via the turning-on pressure accumulation piston 7. The main control valve 15 is maintained in a state in which the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6 and the cylinder control chamber 21 are connected to each other, and the high pressure of the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6 is applied to the cylinder control chamber 21. Thus, a force is applied to the operation piston 4 from the cylinder control chamber 21 side in a direction so as to maintain the closed state.
When the operation piston 4 is in the closed state, the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber 20 side volume is minimum, and, accordingly, the volume of the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber 9 is maximum, whereby the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11 is held in a state in which it is compressed to the utmost via the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10. At this time, the diameter-increased part 3b of the rod 3 is in a state in which it is inserted into the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber side small-diameter part 5b.
In this state, when the opening driving part 25 receives an opening command, the valve body 15d is operated by the driving force of the opening driving part 25, and there is attained an opening operation state in which the cylinder control chamber 21 is connected to the low-pressure tank 17 side.
As a result, by the force due to the pressure of the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber 20 connected to the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber 9, the operation piston 4 operates in the opening direction, and the hydraulic oil in the cylinder control chamber 21 is discharged to the tank 17. Along with the operation of the operation piston 4, the hydraulic oil of the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber 9 flows into the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber 20 via a gap between the first check valve 14A and the increased-diameter part 3b and the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber side small-diameter part 5b. Further, the force of the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11 acts on the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10, so that, with the movement of the hydraulic oil, the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10 also operates in a direction so as to force the hydraulic oil to the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber 20 side.
As shown in
In this buffer chamber 5d, the hydraulic oil is trapped except for the gap between the protrusion 4b and the cylinder control chamber small-diameter part 5c, and the hydraulic oil trapped in is compressed, so that the pressure begins to increase, and there is generated a force braking the operation piston 4.
The length of the protrusion 4b is determined such that the position of the operation piston 4 is enabled to generally coincide with the position where the operation piston 4 is desired to start the braking, and setting for desired increase in pressure can be made through a change in the diameter of the protrusion 4b. Then, there is attained the open state of the gas circuit breaker driving device as shown in
Next, in the open state of the gas circuit breaker driving device shown in
As a result, a high-pressure fluid flows into the cylinder control chamber 21 from the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6 via the gap between the second check valve 14B and the protrusion 4b and the cylinder control chamber side small-diameter part 5c. When there is attained a cylinder control chamber 21 pressure where the force applied in the opening direction from the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber 20 side is generally the same as the force applied in the closing direction from the cylinder control chamber 21 side, the operation piston 4 starts the closing operation.
At this time, the hydraulic oil from the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6 is supplied to the cylinder control chamber 21 by being forced in via the turning-on pressure accumulation piston 7 by the releasing force of the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8. Thus, the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8 is placed in an elongated state, and the turning-on pressure accumulation piston 7 moves to the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6.
As shown in
Through this operation of the operation piston 4, the fluid on the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber 20 side flows into the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber 9, and the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10 moves, with the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11 being gradually compressed. Then, the movement of the operation piston 4 is completed, and the closed state of the gas circuit breaker driving device as shown in
When, in this state, an opening command is input again, the opening operation can be performed in the same manner as described above since the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11 is compressed.
Next, the pressure accumulating operation will be described.
After the completion of the closing operation, the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8 is in the elongated state, so that it needs to be compressed. A discharge port 16b of a pump unit 16 is connected to the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6; by driving the pump, the hydraulic oil is supplied to the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6, and the turning-on pressure accumulation piston 7 is operated in the direction of the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8; at the same time, the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8 is compressed. As a result, the closed state of the gas circuit breaker driving device as shown in
The relationship between the elements will be described.
The pressure of the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber 9 is generally a value obtained by dividing the force of the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11 by the sectional area (pressure receiving area) receiving the pressure from the fluid, of the portion of the cylindrical part 10b of the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10. What is obtained by multiplying this pressure by the sectional area (pressure receiving area) of the portion of the operation piston 4 where it receives pressure from the fluid at the cylinder small pressure receiving area chamber 20 is the driving force in the opening direction of the operation piston 4. From this, on the basis of the requisite driving force for the opening of a turning-off part 50, there is determined the relationship among the force of the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11, the pressure receiving area of the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10, and the pressure receiving area of the operation piston 4.
The pressure of the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber 6 is generally a value obtained by dividing the driving force of the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8 by the sectional area receiving the pressure from the fluid, of the portion of the cylindrical part 7b of the turning-on pressure accumulation piston 7. By multiplying this pressure by the sectional area of the portion of the operation piston 4 where it receives the pressure from the hydraulic oil at the cylinder control chamber 21, the driving force in the closing direction of the operation piston 4 is derived. On the other hand, at the time of completion of the closing operation, the driving force in the closing direction of the operation piston 4 must be sufficiently larger than the driving force in the opening direction.
The relationship between the driving force of the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8, the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10, and the pressure receiving area of the turning-on pressure accumulation piston 7, the operation piston 4, etc. is derived so as to satisfy the above condition. In satisfying the above condition, setting is made such that the outer diameter of the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8.
As in the present embodiment described above, by arranging the turning-off pressure accumulation spring 11 and the turning-off pressure accumulation piston 10 inside the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8 and the turning-on pressure accumulation piston 7, it is possible to achieve an overall reduction in size, making it possible to provide a gas circuit breaker driving device, which is not affected by the ambient temperature, and which is small and of high reliability.

The cylinder accommodating part 30 is of a columnar configuration and is arranged inside the turning-on pressure accumulation spring 8, and is fixed to the bottom section of the spring case 12. At the center of the columnar section of the cylinder accommodating part 30, there is provided the operation cylinder 5 in which the operation piston 4 can slide. Further, the cylinder accommodating part 30 is provided with a plurality of turning-off pressure accumulation chambers 9 of a cylindrical hole configuration each having an opening to the interior side of the spring case 12.
