"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0055] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a casting mold for a voltage transformer, comprising a housing 1, a top cover 2, and a feeding channel 3.
[0056] The housing 1 has a casting cavity, which is divided into an upper section 11, a middle section 12, and a lower section 13 from top to bottom. The top of the housing 1 has an opening that communicates with the casting cavity. The upper cover 2 is located above the housing 1 and covers the opening. The upper cover 2 has a first vent 21 that communicates with the casting cavity. The feeding channel 3 includes a feeding port 31 and a feeding pipe 32. The feeding port 31 is connected to the upper cover 2. The upper end of the feeding pipe 32 communicates with the feeding port 31, and the lower end communicates with the lower section 13.
[0057] Based on this technical solution, by extending the lower end of the feed pipe 32 to the lower section 13, the casting material can be poured to the bottom of the casting cavity, and the casting material can slowly rise from the bottom of the casting cavity, which is conducive to maximizing the discharge of gas from the casting cavity through the first exhaust hole 21, thereby reducing the adverse effects on the casting process and improving the appearance quality of the finished voltage transformer.
[0058] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 32 is a feed groove formed on the side wall of the casting cavity.
[0059] It should be noted that the casting mold described in this embodiment is used for casting 35KV voltage transformers.
[0060] See Figures 4-5 The casting mold provided in this embodiment of the invention also includes a bypass venting channel. The bypass venting channel includes an venting pipe 4 and a second venting hole connected to the venting pipe 4. The upper end of the venting pipe 4 is connected to the upper section 11 and the lower end extends to the middle section 12. The second venting hole is connected to the middle section 12.
[0061] Preferably, the exhaust pipe 4 is an exhaust groove formed on the side wall of the casting cavity.
[0062] Preferably, the casting mold further includes a vent 8, which is connected to the upper cover 2 and communicates with the casting cavity.
[0063] Preferably, the inner wall of the intermediate section 12 has an inwardly recessed annular groove 121, and the inner wall of the annular groove 121 has the second exhaust hole.
[0064] More preferably, each of the annular grooves 121 is connected to the exhaust pipe 4 through at least one of the second exhaust holes.
[0065] The annular groove 121 is used to form the insulating skirt of the voltage transformer during the casting process. By setting the second vent hole on the inner wall of the annular groove 121, the gas in the annular groove 121 can be discharged, reducing the adverse effects of the gas during the casting process on the insulating skirt of the finished voltage transformer, improving the casting quality of the finished voltage transformer, and thus enabling the production of finished voltage transformers with low partial discharge, strong load-carrying capacity, long service life, and high pollution level.
[0066] Preferably, there are multiple annular grooves 121, and the multiple annular grooves 121 are arranged alternately from top to bottom.
[0067] See Figure 6-7 The box 1 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a first half mold 101 and a second half mold 102 detachably connected to the first half mold 101, and the casting cavity is formed between the inner wall of the first half mold 101 and the inner wall of the second half mold 102.
[0068] The first half mold 101 is detachably connected to the second half mold 102 via a latch 103, and handles 104 are fixed on the outer walls of both the first half mold 101 and the second half mold 102.
[0069] By using a detachable top cover 2, a first half mold 101, and a second half mold 102, modular component assembly of the voltage transformer casting mold can be realized, which has the advantages of high modifiability and high reusability.
[0070] See Figures 7-8 The casting mold provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes a guide slide 6, which is fixed to the upper surface of the housing 1. The upper cover 2 contacts the guide slide 6 and can cover or expose the opening along the guide slide 6. Using the guide slide 6 facilitates the quick covering or exposure of the casting cavity by the upper cover 2, and also facilitates the disassembly and installation of the upper cover 2 and the housing 1.
[0071] Preferably, the guide slide 6 includes a fixing part 61 and a guide slide part 62. The fixing part 61 is connected to the upper surface of the housing 1, and the upper end of the fixing part 61 bends towards the upper cover 2 to form the guide slide part 62. A groove 63 is formed between the lower surface of the guide slide part 62 and the upper surface of the housing 1. There are two guide slides 6. Both outer walls of the upper cover 2 have outwardly extending sliding portions 22, which extend to the groove 63 and contact the inner wall of the groove 63. Using the groove 63 and the sliding portion 22, the upper cover 2 can quickly cover or expose the casting cavity, and can also be fixed between the guide slide 6 and the housing 1.
[0072] Preferably, the guide slide 6 is detachably fixed to the housing 1.
[0073] Specifically, the guide slide 6 is bolted to the housing 1.
[0074] Preferably, the two guide slides 6 are fixed to the top of the first half mold 101 and the second half mold 102, respectively.
[0075] Preferably, a handle 23 is fixed to the upper surface of the upper cover 2. The handle 23 facilitates the quick covering or exposure of the casting cavity by the upper cover 2, and also facilitates the hoisting and holding of the casting mold.
[0076] Specifically, the handle 23 is a T-shaped handle.
[0077] See Figure 1-2 and combined Figure 9 It is understood that the casting mold provided in this embodiment of the invention also includes two rotating shafts 7, and the two rotating shafts 7 are respectively fixed on the outer walls of the two sides of the box body 1.
[0078] The rotating shaft 7 can cooperate with the support 200 of the moving trolley 100 so that the casting mold can rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 7, thereby facilitating the demolding of the casting mold.
[0079] The bracket 200 is fixed to the upper surface of the mobile trolley 100. The bracket 200 includes two uprights 201. The upper end of the uprights 201 has a downwardly recessed U-shaped groove 202. When the casting mold is hoisted to the bracket 200, the two rotating shafts 7 are respectively placed in the two U-shaped grooves 202, so that the casting mold can rotate around the central axis of the rotating shafts 7 on the bracket 200, thereby facilitating the demolding operation of the voltage inductor casting mold.
[0080] This invention also provides a method for casting a voltage transformer, which uses any of the casting molds described above for casting, and includes the following steps:
[0081] Vessel body installation: The vessel body is installed into the pouring cavity of the pouring mold;
[0082] Loading into the vacuum casting tank: Load the casting mold into the vacuum casting tank, evacuate and heat the vacuum casting tank, and inject SF6 gas into the vacuum casting tank;
[0083] Loading into the large vacuum casting tank: Load the small vacuum casting tank into the large vacuum casting tank, and connect the casting pipe of the large vacuum casting tank to the casting pipe of the small vacuum casting tank; evacuate and heat the large vacuum casting tank, and inject the casting material into the casting cavity until the casting cavity is full;
[0084] Curing process: The completed casting mold is transferred into a curing oven for curing.
[0085] Demolding: Disassemble the casting mold and remove the finished voltage transformer.
[0086] First, a vacuum casting tank is used to create a vacuum and heat it, and then SF6 protective gas is injected. Then, a large vacuum casting tank is used to ensure the vacuum level and temperature during the casting process. This provides the best casting conditions for the casting process, resulting in a voltage transformer product with low partial discharge, strong load-carrying capacity, long service life, and high pollution level.
[0087] By applying the casting mold and using a large-can-within-a-small-can method, the gas in the casting cavity can be emptied as much as possible through the casting mold, and the optimal casting conditions can be ensured by casting a large vacuum can inside a small vacuum can. This allows for the production of voltage transformer finished products with low partial discharge, strong load-carrying capacity, long service life, and high pollution levels.
[0088] It should be noted that the casting method in this embodiment is applied to the production of 35KV voltage transformers.
[0089] In summary, the casting mold for a voltage transformer provided in this embodiment of the invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0090] 1. By extending the lower end of the feed pipe 32 to the lower section 13 and communicating with the lower section 13, the casting material can be poured to the bottom of the casting cavity, and the casting material can slowly rise from the bottom of the casting cavity. This facilitates the maximum discharge of gas from the casting cavity through the first exhaust hole 21, which can reduce the adverse effects on the casting process and improve the appearance quality of the finished voltage transformer.
[0091] 2. By using the bypass venting channel, the gas in the middle section 12 can be discharged along the path of the second venting hole, the venting pipe 4, the upper section 11 and the first venting hole 21 during the process of the casting material entering the casting cavity. This is beneficial to completely remove the internal gas of the casting material in the casting cavity and improve the appearance quality of the finished voltage transformer.
[0092] 3. By adopting the method of having the second vent hole on the inner wall of the annular groove 121, the adverse effects of gas during the casting process on the insulating skirt of the voltage transformer product can be reduced, thereby enabling the cast voltage transformer product to have the advantages of low partial discharge, strong load-carrying capacity, long service life, and high pollution level.
[0093] 4. The guide slide 6 is used to facilitate the quick covering or exposure of the casting cavity by the upper cover 2, and also to facilitate the disassembly and installation between the upper cover 2 and the box body 1.
[0094] 5. By employing the fixed part 61, the guide part 62, and the slide groove 63, the upper cover 2 can both quickly cover or expose the casting cavity through the slide groove 63, and can also be fixed between the guide part 6 and the box body 1.
[0095] 6. The handle 23 facilitates the quick covering or exposure of the casting cavity by the upper cover 2, and also facilitates the hoisting and hand-holding stabilization of the casting mold.
[0096] 7. By adopting a detachable top cover 2, a first half mold 101 and a second half mold 102, modular assembly of the voltage transformer casting mold can be realized, giving the casting mold the advantages of high modifiability and high reusability.
[0097] 8. By using the rotating shaft 7, the casting mold can be rotated around the central axis of the rotating shaft 7 during the demolding process, thereby facilitating the quick disassembly of the various components of the casting mold.
[0098] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
