Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of transformer detection, and in particular relates to a transformer gas automatic collection detection box and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The gas relay of the transformer body is equipped with a gas collecting box to collect light gas. Personnel need to go to the transformer to drain the oil on the gas collecting box to draw down the gas, visually observe the gas volume and color, and then take the gas. By igniting the gas, it is preliminarily judged whether the transformer is faulty. The detection method is not accurate and there are safety hazards. If it is not possible to judge whether the transformer is faulty by igniting the gas, it is necessary to further perform chromatographic analysis on the gas sample. The whole process is all manual sampling and detection, which is complicated to operate and inconvenient to carry multiple tools. Moreover, if there is a fault in the transformer, personnel take gas next to the transformer. Once an explosion occurs, it will directly endanger personal safety. Therefore, on December 12, 2019, China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd. issued the "Notice on Printing and Distributing Temporary Control Measures for Transformer Light Gas Alarm Risks", requiring 500kV transformers and high-voltage reactors to be shut down for gas extraction. Although there is no rigid requirement for 110kV and 220kV transformers, there is also such a risk. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic detection gas collecting box to replace the manual inspection of light gas in the transformer. The average value of two sets of data is taken for intelligent judgment and intuitive display. The staff can directly know whether the transformer has a fault. At the same time, the personal risk of the staff going to the transformer to take gas is reduced. The operation is simple and easy to carry.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A transformer gas automatic gas collection detection box comprises a gas collection box, a detection chamber and an electric control box; the left side of the electric control box is connected to the right side of the gas collection box, and the top of the electric control box is connected to the bottom of the detection chamber;

[0006] The gas collecting box is hollow inside, and a cavity for collecting transformer oil and light gas is provided in the hollow part. A pressure sensor is installed on one side of the cavity, and an opening is provided on the top of the cavity, and a gas collecting box cover is installed on the opening; an oil and gas delivery pipe connected to the cavity is provided on the top of the gas collecting box cover; an electromagnetic valve A is installed on the oil and gas delivery pipe; a manual gas extraction valve connected to the cavity is provided on the top of the gas collecting box cover;

[0007] The detection chamber comprises a base, a cover and a shield; the shield, the cover and the base are hollow inside and are sealed and connected in sequence from top to bottom; a data processor is installed in the shield; a high-precision sensor is installed in the cover; an air storage tank is installed in the base; the detection probe of the high-precision sensor extends into the air storage tank; the air storage tank is connected to the cavity through a connecting pipe A;

[0008] The electric control box is hollow inside, and an integrated processor, a power supply and a vacuum pump are installed in the hollow part from top to bottom in sequence. A control panel is provided on the surface of the electric control box; the vacuum pump is connected to a tee A installed on the oil and gas delivery pipe through a connecting pipe B, the tee A is placed at the lower end of the solenoid valve A, and the connecting pipe B near one end of the vacuum pump is installed with a solenoid valve B, a tee B is provided between the solenoid valve B and the vacuum pump, and the tee B is connected to the gas storage tank through a connecting pipe C; the connecting pipe C is installed with a solenoid valve C;

[0010] A small amount of transformer oil inside the transformer and overflowing light gas enter the gas collecting box and the detection room through the oil and gas transport pipe. When the transformer gives a light alarm, the transformer oil automatically discharged into the gas collecting box draws down the light gas. The high-precision sensor automatically measures the contents of nine gases, including H2, CO, CO2, CH4, C2H6, C2H4, C2H2, O2, and N2. The data is uploaded to the data processor and transmitted to the control screen for reference after analysis. The manual gas valve is used to collect gas samples. When chromatographic analysis is required, the manual gas valve is directly opened to take gas.

[0011] As a further technical improvement, the bottom of the gas collecting box is provided with an oil drain valve connected to the bottom of the cavity; the top of the gas collecting box cover is provided with a pressure reducing valve connected to the cavity.

[0012] As a further technical improvement, a filter is provided at one end of the connecting pipe A near the gas collecting box. Since the transformer oil and light gas entering the cavity in a negative pressure state will be pressurized to form an oil-gas mixture, the filter is added at the connecting pipe A to filter out the transformer oil and prevent the transformer oil from entering the gas storage tank and contacting the detection probe of the high-precision sensor to affect the detection accuracy.

[0019] S3, the integrated processor controls to open the solenoid valve A, allowing a small amount of transformer oil and overflowing light gas inside the transformer to enter the gas collecting box through the oil and gas transport pipe; after the air pressure sensor detects that the air pressure in the cavity of the gas collecting box is normal, the high-precision sensor starts to detect the light gas flowing into the gas storage tank, the data processor converts the detection result, the integrated processor analyzes the result, and finally displays the first measurement result through the control screen;

[0020] S4, the integrated processor controls the vacuum pump to start, opens the solenoid valve C2 seconds later and then closes it, replaces the light gas in the gas storage tank, and the high-precision sensor detects again. The data processor converts the detection result, and the integrated processor analyzes the result. The second detection result is displayed on the control screen. The integrated processor combines the average value of the two measurement results to determine whether the transformer is faulty;

[0021] S5. If it is necessary to further confirm whether the transformer is faulty, after the air pressure value in the cavity of the gas collecting box is normal, the staff will take out the air through the manual air valve and test it to obtain the corresponding results;

[0022] S6. The cavity needs to be drained regularly through the oil drain valve.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0024] 1.
