In the past, the float electrode that has fixed electrode and move towards this fixed electrode advance and retreat in vacuum tank, was separated the vacuum valve of connecting, interdicting with to electric current at the contact by fixed electrode and float electrode, was housed in and had enclosed SF
6In the traditional gas insulation opening and closing arrangement in the gas sealed container of insulating properties gas, the float electrode of vacuum valve (for example is connected to manual action bars by the operating physical force transmission mechanism that is made of lever, connecting rod, connecting axle etc., with reference to Japanese patent laid-open 02-257536 communique (1-2 page or leaf, Fig. 2)).
In addition, for example in the gas insulation opening and closing arrangement in the past that uses in the three-phase alternating current breaker, generally have 3 vacuum valves, these 3 vacuum valves are disposed side by side, the float electrode that setting comprises each vacuum valve connects the connecting axle of usefulness at interior interlinked mechanism, make these 3 vacuum valves move (for example, opening the 2000-283320 communique) simultaneously with reference to the Japan Patent spy.
In such gas insulation opening and closing arrangement, float electrode at vacuum valve connects in the wall and outwardly directed part of gas sealed container, between the wall of float electrode and gas sealed container, under the situation that the advance and retreat that do not hinder float electrode move, make and be sealed into purpose between the two and (for example be provided with bellows, with reference to Japanese patent laid-open 02-257536 communique (1-2 page or leaf, Fig. 2)).
In traditional gas insulation opening and closing arrangement of this spline structure, because being arranged, the operating physical force transmission mechanism that is made of the lever that is connected with the float electrode of vacuum valve, connecting rod, connecting axle etc. can't make equipment miniaturization, and, such operating physical force transmission mechanism is big in the energy loss of the linking part of each operating physical force transmission member, but also will add the frictional force that rotating member produced such as connecting rod, so there is the low problem of energy efficiency of the operating physical force that transmits.
In addition, for the purpose that float electrode is sealed on every side, in the traditional gas insulation opening and closing arrangement that uses bellows, the bellows fragility, especially very weak to the power of direction of twist, assemble necessary exactissima diligentia when regulating, there is the problem of operation difference.

Electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 is configured on the same straight line with vacuum valve 1 and extension rod 9.The output shaft 21 of electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 is connected by length adjustment mechanism 24 with extension rod 9.Length adjustment mechanism 24 is the mechanisms of being carved with internal thread in the inboard of cylinder, and external screw thread and the two ends that are formed at each end of output shaft 21 and extension rod 9 are screwed.When extension rod 9 is rotated towards the direction of regulation with respect to length adjustment mechanism 24, then extension rod 9 moves axially with the form court of leaving output shaft 21, and thus, insulating bar 8 shortens with the distance of vacuum valve 1.In addition, extension rod 9 is rotated in the opposite direction with respect to this length adjustment mechanism 24, then output shaft 21 is near extension rod 9, its result, and insulating bar 8 enlarges with the distance of vacuum valve 1.
In addition, guide 25 cylindraceous is fixed on the extension opening 11a place of substrate 11 along the axis of extension rod 9.Extension rod 9 is axially slowly being slided by these guide 25 guiding.The periphery of guide 25 is provided with bellows 26.
Fig. 2 represents the detailed stereogram of bellows 26.Bellows 26 is by constituting with lower member, that is: snake abdomen pars contractilis 26a cylindraceous; Form and the external diameter flange part 26b that enlarge from open end towards the external diameter direction in the end of vacuum valve 1 side of this pars contractilis 26a; Internal diameter flange part 26c that form in the end of the opposition side of the vacuum valve 1 of this pars contractilis 26a and that narrow down towards the internal diameter direction.Bellows 26 is clamped in external diameter flange part 26b between pressing plate 27 and the substrate 11 to be fixed.Pressing plate 27 is fastened on the upright external screw thread of being located on the substrate 11 28 by nut 29.Extension rod 9 connects medium pore, and internal diameter flange part 26c seals gap between the two.That is, bellows 26 is arranged between the circumference of extension opening 11a of the peripheral part of extension rod 9 and gas sealed container 10, under the situation that the advance and retreat that do not hinder extension rod 9 move to sealing between the two, i.e. air seal.Snake abdomen pars contractilis 26a cylindraceous is stretched by minimum power.
Return Fig. 1, vacuum valve 1, connect pressing spring 6, insulating bar 8, card ends plate 7, electromagnetic operating mechanism 12, length adjustment mechanism 24 and bellows 26 and constitutes 1 switch module, gas insulation opening and closing arrangement 100 is set up in parallel 3 switch modules for three-phase alternating current is controlled.The electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 of being located at each switch module for example, opens and closes 3 vacuum valves 1 according to moving from the electric signal of outside simultaneously.Delicate time deviation between each vacuum valve 1 is regulated by length adjustment mechanism 24 as a kind of method.
Like this, the gas insulation opening and closing arrangement 100 of this embodiment, have electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 because this electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 has: be provided in gas sealed container 10 the outside, the output shaft 21 by moving from the electric signal of outside, be connected with the end of extension rod 9; And drive output shaft 21, the 1st, the 2nd solenoid 18,19 so that vacuum valve 1 is opened and closed by electromagnetic force, so the operating physical force transmission mechanism that can cut down that float electrode with vacuum valve 1 is 4 that be connected, the lever by in the past, connecting rod, connecting axle etc. constitutes, but the miniaturization of implement device, lightweight.In addition, the energy loss that did not in the past exist at the linking part of each operating physical force transmission member, and, the frictional force that does not have rotating member such as connecting rod to produce, thereby can transmit operating physical force efficiently, can make the high device of energy efficiency of operating physical force.
In addition, vacuum valve 1 is in order to be controlled three-phase alternating current and to be set up in parallel 3, relative therewith, because electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 is provided with 1 for each vacuum valve 1, so compare with structure in the past, can cut down the interlinked mechanism that makes 3 vacuum valve interlock action usefulness, the further miniaturization of energy implement device, lightweight.In addition,, further eliminate energy loss, can make the high device of energy efficiency by cut down the interlinked mechanism that existed in the past.And, by cut down the interlinked mechanism that existed in the past, might not be with vacuum valve 1 configuration arranged side by side as present embodiment, the layout freedom of vacuum valve 1 is so can reduce the restriction of device shape.
The axis of the axis of float electrode 4 and output shaft 21 is on the same straight line, no longer need the operating physical force transmission mechanism that in the past constituted by the lever that is connected with the float electrode 4 of vacuum valve 1, connecting rod, connecting axle etc., can the further miniaturization of implement device, lightweight.
And, extension rod 9 extends towards the outside from the extension opening 11a of the wall that is formed at gas sealed container 10, between the circumference of the extension opening 11a of the peripheral part of extension rod 9 and gas sealed container 10, be provided with bellows 26, its under the situation that the advance and retreat that do not hinder extension rod 9 move to sealing between the two, thereby realization air seal, so the resistance when extension rod 9 advance and retreat are mobile is very little, the deviation of the action of vacuum valve 1 reduces.And, as shown in this embodiment,, also can reduce the deviation of the action between each vacuum valve 1 for the structure that is provided with a plurality of vacuum valves 1.
Then explanation action.When the 1st solenoid 18 of electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 by the outside electric power of supplying with during excitation, the 1st solenoid 18 produces electromagnetic forces, by this electromagnetic attracting force movable piece 20.Thus, movable piece 20 moves towards the arrow A direction of Fig. 1.The attraction of the 1st solenoid 18 is pressed output shaft 21 towards vacuum valve 1 thruster, thus, the fixed contact 3a of vacuum valve 1 contacts with movable contact 4a, vacuum valve 1 closure.At this moment, connect the length that pressing spring 6 shrinks regulation, connect the pressure load what fixed contact 3a and movable contact 4a applied regulation.
When movable piece 20 during towards the make position side shifting, the end face of vacuum valve 1 side of movable piece 20 leaves small compartment of terrain near the 1st yoke 22.When movable piece 20 during near the 1st yoke 22, then form magnetic circuit by the paths that movable piece 20 to the 1st yokes 22 link to each other from permanent magnet 16, movable piece 20 is attracted by the 1st yoke 22 because of this magnetic circuit.This attraction is greater than the restoring force that connects pressing spring 6, so even the refusal of excitation of the 1st solenoid 18 after this, vacuum valve 1 also remains on closure state.
Relative therewith, when the 2nd solenoid 19 of electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 by the outside electric power of supplying with during excitation, the 2nd solenoid 19 produces electromagnetic forces, by this electromagnetic attracting force movable piece 20.Thus, movable piece 20 moves towards the arrow B direction of Fig. 1.The attraction of the 2nd solenoid 19 overcomes the attraction between movable piece 20 and the 1st yoke 22, output shaft 21 is spurred towards the opposition side with vacuum valve 1, at this moment, connect pressing spring 6 and ended the elongation that plate 7 is restricted to regulation by card, this elongation is shorter than the displacement of movable piece 20, thus, the fixed contact 3a of vacuum valve 1 separates with movable contact 4a, and vacuum valve 1 disconnects.
Like this, when movable piece 20 during towards the open position side shifting, the end face with opposition side vacuum valve 1 movable piece 20 leaves small compartment of terrain near the 2nd yoke 23.When movable piece 20 during near the 2nd yoke 23, then form magnetic circuit by the paths that movable piece 20 to the 2nd yokes 23 link to each other from permanent magnet 16, movable piece 20 is attracted by the 2nd yoke 23 because of this magnetic circuit.Therefore, after this, even the refusal of excitation of the 2nd solenoid 19, vacuum valve 1 also remains on off-state.By permanent magnet 16, movable piece the 20, the 1st yoke 22 and the 2nd yoke 23, utilize the magnetic force of permanent magnet 16 to constitute the permanent magnet holding device that vacuum valve 1 is remained on make position and these 2 positions of open position.
Like this, in the gas insulation opening and closing arrangement 100 of present embodiment, electromagnetic operating mechanism 12, by the float electrode 4 by 21 pairs of vacuum valves 1 of output shaft towards the 1st solenoid 18 of the make position side application of force, 2nd solenoid 19 of float electrode 4 towards the open position side application of force constituted, so no matter be that float electrode 4 with vacuum valve 1 is during towards the make position side shifting or towards the open position side shifting, all can make its action, thereby action is stable, can improve reliability by the electromagnetic force of solenoid 18,19.
Electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 has the permanent magnet holding device of output shaft 21 being done to remain in order to the float electrode 4 with vacuum valve 1 make position and these 2 positions of open position, so when movable electrode 4 being remained on make position and open position by permanent magnet 16, can constitute maintaining body simply, reduce the part number, reduce cost, can realize miniaturization simultaneously.
The permanent magnet holding device is owing to have: be fixed in the movable piece 20 on the output shaft 21; Permanent magnet 16 around this movable piece 20; Movable piece 20 is 20 approaching with movable piece during towards the make position side shifting, form the 1st yoke 22 of magnetic circuit with movable piece 20 and permanent magnet 16; Movable piece 20 is 20 approaching with movable piece during towards the open position side shifting, form the 2nd yoke 23 of magnetic circuit with movable piece 20 and permanent magnet 16, so as long as use 1 permanent magnet 16 just can constitute above-mentioned maintaining body, can reduce cost.
The control method of the length of the extension rod 9 during then, to the assembling of the gas insulation opening and closing arrangement 100 of present embodiment describes.Because be provided with length adjustment mechanism 24, so by the output shaft 21 of extension rod 9 with respect to electromagnetic operating mechanism 12 is rotated, can be with extension rod 9 with respect to output shaft 21 turnover.Thus, the distance of adjustable, insulating bar 8 and vacuum valve 1, its result, scalable fixed contact 3a and movable contact 4a leave distance.At this moment, when rotation extension rod 9, then be fixed in the also rotation together of bellows 26 of extension rod 9.Therefore, unscrew nut 29 in advance, make pressing plate 27 not have pressing force with respect to the external diameter flange 26b of bellows 26, bellows 26 can rotate freely like this, even fragile bellows 26 can not be out of shape yet.
That is, the bellows 26 of present embodiment is by constituting with lower member, that is: snake abdomen pars contractilis 26a cylindraceous; The side end of this pars contractilis 26a towards the internal diameter direction extend to form and with the affixed internal diameter flange part 26c of extension rod 9 sealings; The external diameter flange part 26b that extends to form towards the profile direction in the end of the opposite side of this pars contractilis 26a is clamped in the substrate 11 of the wall that is formed at gas sealed container 10 with this external diameter flange part 26b and is fastened between the pressing plate 27 on this substrate 11 and fixed.Therefore, the length that can regulate extension rod 9 under the non-warping situation of bellows 26 can not make bellows 26 distortion.
Between extension rod 9 and output shaft 21, be provided with length adjustment mechanism 24, so can easily regulate the distance between vacuum valve 1 and the electromagnetic operating mechanism 12, especially be provided with the such gas insulation opening and closing arrangement of present embodiment of a plurality of vacuum valves 1, can easily make between each vacuum valve 1 operate time unanimity operation.
