Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil-immersed transformer technology, and more particularly to an oil-immersed transformer bushing head device for preventing gas backflow. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-immersed transformer bushings are used in power systems for electrical connection and mechanical support between power transformers and transmission lines, serving functions such as power transmission, electrical insulation, and mechanical support. Traditional oil-immersed transformer bushings typically have a certain amount of air at the head. When the product is transported horizontally, this air can flow back into the middle of the bushing. When the product is installed vertically again, air bubbles can easily form in the middle, causing partial discharge and, in severe cases, breakdown.

[0003] like Figure 1 The few products shown have an expander installed in the middle of the flange. This expander compensates for the oil level, ensuring no air is present at the casing head, thus solving the problem of gas backflow from the casing head into the middle of the casing. For example... Figure 2 Most of the products shown adopt this structure. There is some air at the head of the sleeve. When the product is placed horizontally, the air at the head can flow into the middle of the sleeve through the gap between the spring clamping device and the conductive tube.

[0004] The two solutions mentioned above have the following disadvantages: 1) The structure is relatively complex, bulky, and large in size, making installation inconvenient; 2) The product cost is relatively high; 3) They do not have the function of preventing gas reflux. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a bushing head device for preventing gas backflow in oil-immersed transformers. This device can solve the problem that, during the transportation of ordinary oil-immersed transformers, air at the head can flow back into the middle of the bushing. When the product is installed vertically again, air bubbles are easily generated in the middle, causing partial discharge of the product, and in severe cases, it can lead to product breakdown discharge.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an oil-immersed transformer bushing head device for preventing gas backflow, comprising an oil conservator, a porcelain bushing, and a conductive tube; the bottom end of the oil conservator is connected to the top tube of the porcelain bushing, the conductive tube is arranged vertically inside the porcelain bushing and the oil conservator, and one end of the conductive tube extends out of the oil conservator; a transformer oil cavity communicating with the inner cavity of the oil conservator is formed between the outer wall of the conductive tube and the inner wall of the porcelain bushing; characterized in that it includes a lower clamping plate, an upper clamping plate, a spring, a clamping nut, and a locking bolt;

[0007] The conductive tube has a cylindrical structure, and a section of the conductive tube located inside the oil tank has threads on its outer contour, and the threaded section of the conductive tube is located above the tightening pressure plate.

[0008] The tightening lower pressure plate is installed inside the oil tank and has a ring-shaped structure. The tightening lower pressure plate is nested on the conductive pipe and is placed horizontally on the lower surface of the inner wall of the oil tank. The inner contour of the tightening lower pressure plate is sealed to the outer wall of the conductive pipe. The bottom end of the tightening lower pressure plate is sealed to the lower surface of the inner wall of the oil tank. The tightening lower pressure plate is provided with an L-shaped oil passage, and the two ends of the oil passage are located on the outer surface and the lower surface of the tightening lower pressure plate, respectively. A countersunk threaded hole is opened on the upper surface of the tightening lower pressure plate.

[0009] The upper clamping plate is positioned above the lower clamping plate and inside the oil tank; the upper clamping plate has a ring structure and a pair of bolt holes are symmetrically arranged around the central hole of the upper clamping plate; the upper clamping plate is nested on the conductive tube and a gap is left between the upper clamping plate and the outer wall of the conductive tube.

[0010] The locking bolt passes through the bolt hole of the upper clamping plate, and the bottom end of the locking bolt is connected to the countersunk thread hole on the lower clamping plate; the spring is nested on the locking bolt and located between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate; a connecting nut is provided at the top of the locking bolt and connected to the locking bolt to press the upper clamping plate against the top of the spring;

[0011] The tightening nut is positioned above the upper tightening plate, and the tightening nut engages with the threaded section on the conductive tube to press the lower tightening plate against the bottom surface of the inner wall of the oil tank.

[0012] Furthermore, a first sealing groove is provided on the inner wall of the central opening of the tightening lower pressure plate, and a second sealing groove is provided at the junction of the lower surface of the tightening lower pressure plate and the lower surface of the inner wall of the oil tank, and sealing rubber is provided in both the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove.

[0013] The advantages of this invention are:

[0014] 1) In this invention, when the transformer is running vertically, the transformer oil in the oil conservator and the transformer oil in the porcelain bushing are connected as a whole. When the product expands and contracts with temperature, the oil level can still rise and fall normally without affecting the normal operation of the product. When the product is transported horizontally, because the oil inlet on the tightening lower pressure plate is higher than the edge of the inner diameter of the porcelain bushing, the oil in the porcelain bushing cannot flow back into the oil conservator, and the air in the oil conservator cannot enter the porcelain bushing. This achieves the function of preventing gas from the bushing head from entering the middle of the porcelain bushing during horizontal transportation. It does not require changing the main structure and size of the existing porcelain bushing; it only requires slight changes to the size and structure of some parts, making it simple to implement and low in cost.

The inner contour of the tightening lower pressure plate 4 is sealed to the outer wall of the conductive tube. The bottom end of the tightening lower pressure plate 4 is sealed to the lower surface of the inner wall of the oil tank 1. The tightening lower pressure plate 4 is provided with an L-shaped oil passage 41, and the two ends of the oil passage 41 are located on the outer surface and the lower surface of the tightening lower pressure plate 4, respectively. A countersunk threaded hole is opened on the upper surface of the tightening lower pressure plate 4.

[0024] The upper clamping plate 5 is positioned above the lower clamping plate 4 and inside the oil tank 1; the upper clamping plate 5 has a ring structure and a pair of bolt holes are symmetrically arranged around the center hole of the upper clamping plate 5; the upper clamping plate 5 is nested on the conductive tube 3 and a gap is left between the upper clamping plate 5 and the outer wall of the conductive tube 3.

[0025] The locking bolt 8 passes through the bolt hole of the upper clamping plate 5, and the bottom end of the locking bolt 8 is connected to the countersunk thread hole on the lower clamping plate 4; the spring 6 is nested on the locking bolt 8 and located between the upper clamping plate 5 and the lower clamping plate; the top of the locking bolt 8 is provided with a connecting nut that is connected to the locking bolt 8 to press the upper clamping plate 5 against the top of the spring.
