DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] A preferred embodiment of the disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1

[0027] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the disclosure provides a capacitance value fast-placing vacuum capacitor, including: a housing 1, a first electrode group 2, a second electrode group 3, and an electromagnetic drive mechanism. The housing 1 is composed of a porcelain tube, an end cover and a mounting plate. The end cover is hermetically and fixedly connected to the top of the porcelain tube by welding or brazing, and the mounting plate is hermetically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the porcelain tube by welding or brazing, so that the housing 1 has high insulation performance and high medium withstand voltage, and can ensure a high vacuum environment in the capacitor.

[0028] A vacuum chamber 101 is provided in the housing 1, and the first electrode group 2 and the second electrode group 3 are mutually coupled and accommodated in the vacuum chamber 101. Specifically, the first electrode group 2 is a moving electrode group, including a first rotor disc 201 and a first electrode 202. The first electrode 202 is fixedly connected to an upper side surface of the first rotor disc 201. The first electrode 202 is composed of a plurality of electrode rings nested concentrically within each other. The second electrode group 3 is a static electrode group, fixedly connected to an inner top wall of the end cover of the housing 1. The second electrode group 3 is also composed of a plurality of electrode rings nested concentrically within each other. The coupling portion of the first electrode group 2 and the second electrode group 3 is a charge storage unit composed of two groups of electrode bands.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 2, the electromagnetic drive mechanism is mounted on the outer side of a bottom end of the mounting plate of the housing 1, and the electromagnetic drive mechanism is capable of driving the first electrode group 2 to shift relative to the second electrode group 3, so that the vacuum capacitor can be placed or changed between two capacitance value states.

[0030] Specifically, a magnetic conductive plate 4 is fixedly connected to the first electrode group 2. When the electromagnetic drive mechanism is energized, an attraction force can be generated on the magnetic conductive plate 4, and the magnetic conductive plate 4 is driven to drive the first electrode group 2 to move in a direction away from the second electrode group 3. A pull rod 7 is fixedly mounted on a lower side surface of the first rotor disc 201, and a lower end of the pull rod 7 penetrates out of and is exposed from the mounting plate of the housing 1. The magnetic conductive plate 4 is arranged below the housing 1, and the magnetic conductive plate 4 is fixedly connected to the first electrode group 2 through the pull rod 7. A screw hole is provided axially at the lower end of the pull rod 7. A stud is arranged axially at a top end of the magnetic conductive plate 4. The magnetic conductive plate 4 is fixedly connected to the interior of the screw hole through the stud.

[0031] In order to ensure a vacuum environment inside the housing 1, a first bellows 8 is hermetically welded or brazed between the lower side surface of the first rotor disc 201 and an inner wall of the mounting plate of the housing 1. The first bellows 8 is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod 7. The first bellows 8 is made of stainless steel, can be elastically deformed, compressed or stretched following the up and down movement of the first electrode group 2, and has a long mechanical life.

[0032] Further, an annular limiting stop 701 is arranged at the lower end of the pull rod 7 that penetrates through and is exposed from the housing 1. The exterior of the first bellows 8 is located in the vacuum chamber 101, the interior of the first bellows 8 is communicated with an external environment of the vacuum capacitor, and the pressure of the first bellows is greater than the pressure of the vacuum chamber 101. Therefore, when the electromagnetic drive mechanism is in a deenergized state, the first electrode group 2 always has a tendency to move toward the second electrode group 3 under the force of a difference between internal and external pressures of the vacuum capacitor, so that the limiting stop 701 stops upward on an end surface of the housing 1.

[0033] Since a motion mating member is located outside the vacuum chamber 101 in this embodiment, lubricating grease may be added to ensure smooth and steady movement.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 2 again, the electromagnetic drive mechanism includes an iron core 5, a coil winding 6 and a shielding shell 12. The shielding shell 12 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the mounting plate of the housing 1, and an accommodation cavity is formed between the shielding shell 12 and the housing 1. The magnetic conductive plate 4 is movable up and down in the accommodation cavity. The coil winding 6 is accommodated in an inner cavity of the shielding shell 12, and the shielding shell 12 shields the coil winding 6 so that the coil winding 6 is not affected by a high-frequency current. The iron core 5 has a T-shaped cross section, and is provided with a fixing plate and a cylindrical adsorption end integrated with the fixing plate. The fixing plate is configured to be fixed at the bottom end of the shielding shell 12. The adsorption end extends upward into the inner cavity of the shielding shell 12 and is opposite to the magnetic conductive plate 4. The coil winding 6 is arranged around the adsorption end of the iron core 5, and two terminals of the coil winding 6 are drawn outward through the fixing plate and electrically connected to a power supply 11.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is that when the coil winding 6 is connected to the power supply 11, the coil winding 6 generates a magnetic field to magnetize the iron core 5, the magnetic conductive plate 4 moves downward and is attracted onto the iron core 5 under the action of an attraction force, and the first electrode group 2 is synchronously pulled to move downward by the pull rod 7, so that a coupling length between the first electrode group 2 and the second electrode group 3 is reduced, a coupling area of two groups of electrodes is reduced, the capacitance value of the capacitor is reduced, and the vacuum capacitor is in a first capacitance value state (as shown in FIG. 3). When the coil winding 6 is disconnected from the power supply 11, a magnetic force of the iron core 5 disappears, and the magnetic conductive plate 4 moves upward under the force of the difference between the internal and external pressures of the vacuum capacitor and the elastic force of the first bellows 8, until the limiting stop 701 of the pull rod 7 stops upward on the end surface of the housing 1. The first electrode group 2 is synchronously pulled to move upward by the pull rod 7, the coupling length between the first electrode group 2 and the second electrode group 3 is increased, the coupling area of the two groups of electrodes is increased, the capacitance value of the capacitor is increased, and the vacuum capacitor is in a second capacitance value state (as shown in FIG. 2).

[0036] It is to be noted that by configuring the distance between the iron core 5 and the magnetic conductive plate 4, it is possible to adjust a movement distance of the first electrode group 2, namely from a maximum capacity position of the vacuum capacitor to a minimum capacity position, so as to adjust the sizes of the first capacitance value and the second capacitance value of the capacitor.

[0037] It can be seen that in this embodiment, the electromagnetic drive mechanism is configured for fast adjusting and changing of capacitance values of the vacuum capacitor. By controlling the on-off of the power supply 11, the coil winding 6 is controlled to magnetize the iron core 5 to generate an attraction force, so as to drive the magnetic conductive plate 4 to drive the first electrode group 2 to shift relative to the second electrode group 3, thereby changing a mutual coupling area of two groups of electrodes and realizing the fast placing or change of the capacitance values. Therefore, the capacitance value change time of the vacuum capacitor is within one hundred milliseconds, thus meeting the requirement of an application device of a variable capacitor for rapid matching of a matcher.

Embodiment 2

[0038] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the second electrode group 3 can also serve as a moving electrode group to shift in the vacuum chamber 101 so as to change the position in this embodiment. An adjusting mechanism is mounted on the outer side of the top end of the end cover of the housing 1. The second electrode group 3 is movably arranged in the vacuum chamber 101 and connected to the adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism is configured to adjust the position of the second electrode group 3 in the vacuum chamber 101 to change the coupling area between the second electrode group 3 and the first electrode group 2.

[0039] Specifically, referring to FIG. 4, the second electrode group 3 includes a second rotor disc 301 and a second electrode 302. The second rotor disc 301 is arranged over the first rotor disc 201. The second electrode 302 is fixedly connected to a lower side surface of the second rotor disc 301 and coupled to the first electrode 202. A screw rod 3011 is arranged axially on an upper side surface of the second rotor disc 301, and the screw rod 3011 penetrates upward through and is exposed from the top of the end cover of the housing 1.

[0040] Similarly, in order to ensure the vacuum environment inside the housing 1, a second bellows 10 is hermetically connected between the upper side surface of the second rotor disc 301 and the inner top wall of the end cover of the housing 1. The second bellows 10 is sleeved on the outer side of the screw rod 3011. The second bellows 10 has the same structure as the first bellows 8, is made of stainless steel, and can be elastically deformed, compressed or stretched following the up and down movement of the second electrode group 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting nut 9. The adjusting nut 9 is arranged on the upper end surface of the end cover of the housing 1, and threaded on the top end of the screw rod 3011 exposed from the housing 1. By rotating the adjusting nut 9 in cooperation with the screw rod 3011, the second electrode group 3 may be moved up and down, and the coupling area with the first electrode group 2 may be changed, thereby changing the capacitance value of the capacitor.

[0042] It can be seen that in this embodiment, the second electrode group 3 is also set to be adjustable, so that the vacuum capacitor is not limited to placing or changing between two fixed capacitance value states. The position of the second electrode group 3 is adjusted by the adjusting mechanism, so that the first capacitance value and the second capacitance value of the vacuum capacitor can be changed, and the adjustment of the two-way capacitance values of the vacuum capacitor is realized, thus meeting the use requirement of a user, and facilitating the use by the user.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that although the adjusting mechanism performs adjustment manually by the adjusting nut 9 in this embodiment, it is possible to electrically adjust the second electrode group 3 by the control motor 24 as shown in FIG. 1, but it is necessary to construct the structure of the second electrode group 3 and the adjusting mechanism as shown in FIG. 1, which will not be described in detail.

[0044] Many specific details have been set forth in the above description to facilitate a full understanding of the disclosure. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the disclosure, which can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the disclosure is not limited by the specific implementations disclosed above. At the same time, any person skilled in the art can use the method and technical content disclosed above to make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the disclosure, or modify the technical solution into equivalent embodiments that are equivalent to changes without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the disclosure. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the disclosure that are not divorced from the content of the technical solution of the disclosure still belong to the scope of protection of the technical solution of the disclosure.
