Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to transformer maintenance. It falls under the field of testing. Background Technology

[0002] A transformer is a device that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to change AC voltage. A transformer has a high-voltage side and a low-voltage side. There are four terminals on the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side of the transformer, namely the A-phase terminal, the B-phase terminal, the C-phase terminal and the neutral phase terminal. The high-voltage line is connected to the four terminals on the high-voltage side, and the low-voltage line is connected to the four terminals on the low-voltage side. In this way, the high-voltage AC power enters the high-voltage side through the high-voltage terminals, is transformed by the transformer, and is output as low-voltage AC power from the low-voltage side. The low-voltage AC power flows out through the low-voltage terminals to power other equipment.

[0003] During operation, the connection points between the low-voltage terminals and the low-voltage lines on the 66kV to 10kV transformer are wrapped with insulating sleeves to prevent leakage. When the transformer needs to be disconnected for maintenance, the main power supply is first turned off. Then, a voltage tester is used to touch the low-voltage terminals to check if the transformer is no longer carrying high voltage. If the test confirms that the transformer is not carrying high voltage, a grounding clamp is then attached to the low-voltage terminals to conduct the weak current on the low-voltage side to the ground, further ensuring personal safety. Then, maintenance personnel disconnect the high-voltage and low-voltage connections on the transformer and begin maintenance. However, in actual operation, when using a voltage tester, due to the wiring... The pole is covered with an insulating sleeve. In order for the voltage tester to touch the terminal for testing, the tip of the tester must be forcefully inserted into the bottom of the insulating sleeve. Since the insulating sleeve is made of hard plastic, the tester tip is pried open by the forceful insertion, resulting in the insulating sleeve not being properly sealed and posing a risk of conductivity. In addition, after testing, a grounding wire needs to be installed on the terminal. However, because the terminal is covered, the grounding wire cannot be installed. Therefore, in actual application, maintenance personnel have to destroy the insulating sleeve before grounding the wire. After repairing the transformer, they then reconnect the low-voltage wiring and reinstall a new insulating sleeve. This is time-consuming and wasteful of insulating sleeves, causing trouble for transformer maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problem of inconvenient transformer maintenance by proposing a transformer maintenance device.

[0005] A transformer maintenance device includes a handle, a push button, a movable rod, an L-shaped limiting rod, a detection coil, a horizontal plate, a detection discharge circuit, and a transmitting coil.

[0006] A notch is made on the surface of the grip, and a square groove is made at one end of the grip along the length of the grip, with the notch and the square groove connected. A movable rod is placed in the square groove, and a push button is connected to one end of the movable rod. The push button is restricted to move within the notch along the length of the grip. A slide rail is connected to the back of the push button, and a slide groove that mates with the slide rail is provided on the inner surface of the square groove.

[0007] A horizontal plate is set on one end of the handle, and a through hole is opened on the horizontal plate to allow the other end of the movable rod to pass through. An L-shaped limiting rod is connected to the horizontal plate, and a detection coil is wound on the L-shaped limiting rod. A transmitting coil is sleeved on the low-voltage terminal of the transformer, and an insulating sleeve is sleeved on the transmitting coil.

[0008] The grip has an embedded discharge detection circuit;

[0009] The discharge detection circuit includes a detection circuit, a controller, a switch, and a discharge circuit.

[0010] The detection circuit is used to detect whether the low-voltage terminal of the transformer is energized by the detection coil and send the energized signal to the controller.

[0011] The controller is used to trigger the switch to close after receiving an energized signal, thereby turning on the discharge circuit;

[0012] The discharge circuit is used to receive the electrical energy output from the low-voltage terminal of the transformer through the transmitting coil after the circuit is turned on, and then discharge the electrical energy.

[0013] Preferably, the detection circuit includes capacitors C1-C2, transistors IN1-IN3, and diodes (LEDs);

[0014] One end of the detection coil is a free end. The other end of the detection coil is connected to one end of capacitor C1. The other end of capacitor C1 is connected to one end of capacitor C2. The other end of capacitor C2 is connected to the base of transistor IN1. The emitter of transistor IN1 is connected to the base of transistor IN2. The emitter of transistor IN2 is connected to the base of transistor IN3. The emitter of transistor IN3 is connected to the negative terminal of the 5V power supply. The collector of transistor IN1 is simultaneously connected to the collector of transistor IN2, the positive terminal of diode LED, the positive terminal of 5V power supply, and the input terminal of the controller. The negative terminal of diode LED is connected to the collector of transistor IN3. The output terminal of the controller is used to control the switch closure.

[0015] Preferably, the discharge circuit includes a receiving coil, a receiving end resonant compensation circuit, a rectifier bridge, and a discharge element;

[0016] The receiver resonant compensation circuit is used to induce AC current on the transmitting coil through the receiving coil and transmit the AC current to the rectifier bridge.

[0017] A rectifier bridge is used to rectify alternating current to obtain direct current, which is then transmitted to the discharge element.

[0018] Discharge element, used to discharge direct current.

[0019] Preferably, the rectifier bridge consists of four switching transistors and four diodes.

[0020] Preferably, the discharge element is implemented using a battery or a grounding wire.

[0021] Preferably, the receiver resonance compensation circuit is implemented using capacitor C3.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0023] This application uses an L-shaped limiting rod fitted over the insulating sleeve of the terminal block. Pushing the push button extends the movable rod, creating a closed loop with the L-shaped limiting rod, completely enclosing the terminal block within this loop and increasing the induction accuracy of the detection coil. If the terminal block is energized at this time, the LED will light up. The controller then closes the switch. Because the terminal block has a transmitting coil, the receiving coil senses the current after the switch closes. A rectifier bridge converts the AC power to DC power. This DC energy can be stored in a battery for other uses, avoiding energy waste, or it can be grounded for rapid discharge. Therefore, this application can accurately detect and discharge energized terminals without removing the insulating sleeve, saving time and effort when disassembling and assembling transformers.
