Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of transformer equipment, and in particular to an energy-saving oil-immersed transformer. BACKGROUND

[0002] A transformer can be divided into an oil-immersed transformer and a dry-type transformer. In order to strengthen insulation and cooling conditions, the iron core and winding of the transformer are immersed in an oil tank filled with transformer oil. In special cases, such as in street lamps and mine lighting, dry-type transformers are also used.

[0003] An oil-immersed transformer is an important device in a power system for changing voltage and transmitting electric energy, and is the basis for safe and economic operation of the power grid. The oil-immersed transformer mainly works according to the principle of electromagnetic induction. On the closed iron core, two mutually insulated windings are wound, of which the side connected to the power supply is called the primary winding, and the side outputting electric energy is called the secondary winding. When the alternating current power supply voltage is applied to the primary side winding, an alternating current flows through the winding, generating an alternating magnetic flux in the iron core. This alternating magnetic flux not only passes through the primary side winding, but also passes through the secondary side winding, generating induced voltages E1 and E2 in the two windings, respectively. At this time, if the secondary side winding is connected to the load of the external circuit, current will flow into the load, i.e. the secondary side winding has electric energy output.

[0004] The components of an oil-immersed transformer include the body (iron core, winding, insulation, lead), oil-immersed transformer oil, oil tank and cooling device, voltage regulating device, protection device (hygrostat, safety air duct, gas relay, oil storage tank and temperature measuring device, etc.) and outlet bushing.

[0005] It adopts a fully sealed structure, and the oil-immersed transformer oil is isolated from the air, slowing down the change of the oil. In the case of severe overload, the coil insulation will not age and be thermally broken, maintaining excellent electrical and mechanical properties during use.

[0006] The patent application No. 202111191586.0 discloses an energy-saving oil-immersed transformer device. Specifically, it sucks the external air into the inside of the air pipe from one end of the air pipe and discharges it from the other end, so that the external air flows through the inside of the air pipe. When the external air flows through the air pipe, it can take out the heat in the oil tank with the oil, so as to achieve heat dissipation of the oil.

[0007] As known to those skilled in the art, the temperature of the upper oil in the oil-immersed transformer during operation is as high as 85℃, and the maximum temperature does not exceed 95℃. In summer, the outdoor temperature is as high as 30℃ or more. It is difficult to reduce the temperature of the oil by relying only on heat exchange with external gas, and it is impossible to recycle the heat as warning electric power. SUMMARY

[0042] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] EMBODIMENT

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 An energy-saving oil-immersed transformer is provided by the present application, which comprises an oil-immersed transformer main body 100 and oil 170 arranged in the oil-immersed transformer main body 100, wherein the oil-immersed transformer main body 100 comprises a transformer shell 120 and multiple groups of iron core winding structures 140 arranged inside the transformer shell 120;

[0045] An oil pillow 110 is mounted on one side of the transformer shell 120 through a support, and the oil pillow 110 is in communication with the transformer shell 120 through an oil supplement pipeline; the volume of oil in the oil pillow 110 is 10% of the volume of oil in the transformer shell 120, which is used to supplement oil in the transformer shell 120 to ensure the balance of oil in the transformer shell 120;

[0046] The oil pillow 110 is also connected with a breather through a pipeline, which is composed of a pipeline and a glass container, and contains a drying agent (silica gel or activated alumina) for avoiding external moisture from entering the oil pillow 110.

[0047] The bottom of the transformer shell 120 is fixed with a mounting base 130, and the side of the transformer shell 120 is provided with an oil outlet 150. The mounting base 130 is used for supporting and mounting the oil-immersed transformer body 100, and the oil outlet 150 is used for discharging oil in the transformer shell 120.

[0048] Also comprising:

[0049] The cooling mechanism 400 is provided with a plurality of cooling mechanisms 400, which are arranged in the side wall of the oil-immersed transformer body 100 in sequence, and the cooling mechanism 400 is used for heat exchange of the upper layer of the oil 170 and then transported to the lower layer of the oil 170; the energy of the heat exchange is used for power generation and storage.

[0050] The refrigeration equipment 200 is installed on one side of the oil-immersed transformer body 100 through the mounting bracket 160; the refrigeration equipment 200 is used as refrigeration equipment, which has the functions of refrigeration and blowing;

[0051] The conveying pipeline system 300 provides refrigerant medium to the plurality of cooling mechanisms 400 through the refrigeration equipment 200, so as to increase the internal and external temperature difference of the cooling mechanism 400; through the blowing function of the refrigeration equipment 200 and the refrigerant medium provided by the conveying pipeline system 300 to the cooling mechanism 400, the refrigerant medium in this embodiment is the refrigerated air.

[0052] As shown in Figures 3-4 The cooling mechanism 400 includes a high-temperature oil inlet pipeline 410 connected with the upper cavity of the oil-immersed transformer body 100 and a low-temperature oil outlet pipeline 420 connected with the lower cavity of the oil-immersed transformer body 100, and it should be noted that the tubular part of the high-temperature oil inlet pipeline 410 and the low-temperature oil outlet pipeline 420 is bent (not shown in the figure), and then connected with the transformer shell 120, and a plurality of oil distribution pipelines 430 are arranged between the high-temperature oil inlet pipeline 410 and the low-temperature oil outlet pipeline 420.

[0053] Each oil distribution pipeline 430 has a hollow semicircular cylindrical cross section, which is used for connecting the high-temperature oil inlet pipeline 410 and the low-temperature oil outlet pipeline 420 and uniformly distributing the oil 170 flowing through the high-temperature oil inlet pipeline 410.

[0054] The high-temperature oil inlet pipe 410 and the low-temperature oil outlet pipe 420 are both funnel-shaped on their adjacent sides, and their centers are on the same vertical axis. Multiple branch pipes 430 are evenly distributed between the high-temperature oil inlet pipe 410 and the low-temperature oil outlet pipe 420 with this axis as their center. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped surface of the branch pipe 430 faces outward, and the straight surface faces the direction of the axis.

[0055] Each oil distribution pipeline 430 has a flow guiding component 440 fixed on its straight surface. Multiple oil distribution pipelines 430 are kept in a fixed state by a support plate 460. The support plate 460 is used to connect the flow guiding component 440 to increase stability, and also serves as a load-bearing platform to improve the integration of the device.

[0056] The cooling mechanism 400 also includes a distribution plate 490 disposed inside the multiple oil distribution pipelines 430, the distribution plate 490 being used to connect to the delivery pipeline system 300;

[0057] The distribution plate 490 is also equipped with multiple connecting pipes 450, which are connected to the bottom of multiple flow guiding components 440 one by one. The distribution plate 490 is cylindrical and drum-shaped, which evenly distributes the cold air delivered by the delivery pipeline system 300. After distribution, the air is sequentially delivered to the cavity between the flow guiding component 440 and the oil distribution pipeline 430 through the connecting pipes 450.

[0058] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the straight surface of the oil distribution pipeline 430 is provided with multiple rectangular mounting slots along its axial direction, and each mounting slot is provided with a thermoelectric generator 445. The gap between the thermoelectric generator 445 and the oil distribution pipeline 430 is sealed with a sealing gasket. The thermoelectric generator 445 generates electricity by utilizing the temperature difference between the high-temperature oil inside the oil distribution pipeline 430 and the cold air delivered to the inside of the flow guide assembly 440. When the temperature difference exceeds 60°C, the generated voltage can reach 3.5V and the current can reach 3-5A.

[0059] An induction lighting device 480 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 460, and an energy storage device 470 is fixed on the lower surface of the support plate 460.

[0060] Multiple thermoelectric generators 445 are connected in series to supply power to the energy storage device 470. The energy storage device 470 stores electrical energy and then supplies power to the sensor-activated lighting device 480. The series connection of the thermoelectric generators 445 results in higher power generation, which can charge the energy storage device 470. When the light sensor in the sensor-activated lighting device 480 detects a change in the light signal (i.e., when the light intensity is low at night), the energy storage device 470 supplies power to the sensor-activated lighting device 480, causing it to emit light as a warning.

[0061] The flow guiding assembly 440 includes a flow guiding housing 442 fixed to the flat surface of the oil distribution pipeline 430. The top of the flow guiding housing 442 is provided with an air outlet 441 facing the induction lighting device 480, and the side of the flow guiding housing 442 is provided with a wire hole 443 for the wire of the thermoelectric generator 445 to pass through.

[0062] After the cold air increases the temperature difference between the two sides of the thermoelectric generator 445 through the air guide component 440, the remaining cold air is blown to the sensor lighting device 480 through the air outlet 441 to cool the sensor lighting device 480 and extend its service life.

[0063] The upper part of the oil distribution pipe 430 is made of iron, while the lower part is made of copper. Iron has a thermal conductivity of 76.2, which is relatively poor, and is used to maintain a large temperature difference between the two sides of the thermoelectric generator 445 to ensure effective thermoelectric power generation. Copper has a thermal conductivity of 393.5, which is strong, so when some cold air blows onto the copper, it can quickly exchange heat, achieving rapid heat dissipation.

[0064] The lower half of the oil distribution pipe 430 has heat dissipation fins on its curved surface. The heat dissipation fins further accelerate the heat dissipation rate of the lower half of the oil distribution pipe 430.

[0065] The working principle of an energy-saving oil-immersed transformer based on the embodiment is as follows: the cooling equipment 200 provides cold air to the distribution plate 490 through its cooling and blowing function and the conveying pipeline system 300. The cold air then enters the cavity formed by the flow guiding component 440 and the oil distribution pipeline 430 through the connecting pipeline 450. On the one hand, it maintains the temperature difference on both sides of the thermoelectric generator 445, and on the other hand, it accelerates the heat dissipation of the lower half of the oil distribution pipeline 430, thereby achieving rapid cooling while recovering heat. The recovered electrical energy is used for storage and warning conversion.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
