DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] A transformer drying device, please refer to Figure 1, including: base and weighing device, weighing device is installed at the bottom of the base, the base can be supported on the ground by the weighing device. The weighing device uses an electronic weighing device in the prior art to weigh the weight of the base and the components installed on the base. The base is installed with a buffer tank 7, a metering tank 14, a first refrigerator 1 and a second refrigerator 3; the buffer tank 7 is communicated with the air inlet pipe 5, the exhaust pipe 8 and the first liquid discharge pipe 10, the connection point of the exhaust pipe 8 with the buffer tank 7 is located at the top of the buffer tank 7, and the connection point of the first liquid discharge pipe 10 with the buffer tank 7 is located at the bottom of the buffer tank 7. The second coaxial valve 11 is arranged on the first liquid discharge pipe 10, the free end of the first liquid discharge pipe 10 is communicated with the top of the metering tank 14, and the installation height of the buffer tank 7 is higher than the top of the metering tank 14, so that the condensed water flows from the bottom of the buffer tank 7 into the metering tank 14. The first refrigerator 1 comprises two first condensers 2, and the air in the air inlet pipe 5 is cooled by the first condenser 2. The air inlet pipe 5 is connected in parallel with the branch pipe 6, and the air in the branch pipe 6 is cooled by the second first condenser 2, and the condensation efficiency of the water in the air in the air inlet pipe 5 is enhanced by the two first condensers. The second refrigerator 3 comprises a second condenser 4, and the air in the exhaust pipe 8 is cooled by the second condenser 4. The installation height of the second condenser 4 is higher than the top of the buffer tank 7, so that the condensed water in the exhaust pipe 8 flows back into the buffer tank 7.
[0020] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, when the transformer is subjected to drying treatment, one end of the exhaust pipe 8 away from the buffer tank 7 is connected with a vacuum pump, the air inlet pipe 5 is communicated with the inside of the transformer, the air inside the transformer is extracted by the vacuum pump, and the second coaxial valve 11 is opened. The first refrigerator 1 cools the air in the air inlet pipe 5 through the first condenser 2, thereby condensing part of the water in the air and completing the preliminary drying of the air. The preliminarily dried air and the condensed water enter the buffer tank 7, the condensed water gathers at the bottom of the buffer tank 7 and flows into the metering tank 14 through the first liquid discharge pipe 10; the preliminarily dried air enters the exhaust pipe 8 and is cooled by the second refrigerator 3, so that the remaining water in the preliminarily dried air is condensed to form condensed water which flows back into the buffer tank 7. The condensed water generated in the air inlet pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 8 increases the weight of the metering tank 14 and the whole device. The real-time weight of the whole device is weighed by the weighing device, and the data measured by the weighing device is collected and recorded. During the vacuumizing process, when the condensed water no longer increases, the weight of the whole device will no longer increase, and the drying degree of the inside of the transformer can be directly reflected by observing the weight change displayed by the weighing device.
[0021] On the basis of the technical scheme of the above embodiment, further, the refrigeration temperature range of the first refrigerator 1 is 2 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius, and the refrigeration temperature range of the second refrigerator 3 is -60 degrees Celsius to -40 degrees Celsius.
[0022] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, since the refrigeration temperature range of the first refrigerating machine 1 is 2-5 degrees Celsius, the moisture in the air in the air inlet pipe 5 is easy to partially condense to form condensed water. Since the refrigeration temperature range of the second refrigerating machine 3 is -60 to -40 degrees Celsius, the temperature is lower, and the condensation speed of the moisture is faster, which further condenses the remaining moisture in the preliminarily dried air in the air outlet pipe 8. The moisture in the air is better recovered, and the precision of the condensed water weight change metering is further improved.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In the technical scheme of the above embodiment, further, the second condenser 4 comprises a condensing tank 401, the condensing tank 401 is fixedly connected with a first end plate 413 and a second end plate 407, the first end plate 413 is located above the second end plate 407, and the first end plate 413 and the second end plate 407 divide the internal space of the condensing tank 401 into a first refrigerant chamber 412, a heat exchange chamber 408 and a second refrigerant chamber 406 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The first refrigerant chamber 412 and the second refrigerant chamber 406 are communicated through a plurality of heat exchange pipes 402, the plurality of heat exchange pipes 402 are arranged at intervals, and the heat exchange pipes 402 are located in the heat exchange chamber 408. The condensing tank 401 is provided with an air inlet 410, an air outlet 403 and a drainage port 404. The air inlet 410 is located at the upper right side of the condensing tank 401, the air outlet 403 is located at the lower left side of the condensing tank 401, and the air inlet 410 and the air outlet 403 are both communicated with the heat exchange chamber 408. The air outlet 403 can be arranged at a distance of 5-10 cm from the second end plate 407 to prevent the condensed water in the heat exchange chamber 408 from entering the air outlet 403. The drainage port 404 is located at the bottom of the condensing tank 401, and the upper end of the drainage port 404 is located in the condensing tank 401 and communicated with the heat exchange chamber 408. Two guide plates 409 can be arranged in the condensing tank 401, the two guide plates 409 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom, the guide plates 409 are provided with through holes 415 for the heat exchange pipes 402 to pass through, and the guide plates 409 are also provided with guide holes 414. From top to bottom, the guide holes 414 of the first guide plate 409 are located on the left side, and the guide holes 414 of the second guide plate 409 are located on the right side, so that the flow path of the gas between the air inlet 410 and the air outlet 403 is longer, the gas can stay for a longer time, and the condensing effect is improved. The exhaust pipe 8 is cut into two sections at the middle section, the air inlet 410 is communicated with the buffer tank 7 through the first section of the exhaust pipe 8, the air outlet 403 is communicated with the second section of the exhaust pipe 8, the drainage port 404 is communicated with the metering tank 14 through the second liquid discharge pipe 12; the condensing tank 401 is provided with a refrigerant inlet 411 and a refrigerant outlet 405, the refrigerant inlet 411 is communicated with the first refrigerant chamber 412, the refrigerant outlet 405 is communicated with the second refrigerant chamber 406, and the refrigerant inlet 411, the first refrigerant chamber 412, the heat exchange pipes 402, the second refrigerant chamber 406 and the refrigerant outlet 405 jointly constitute a refrigerant passage for the refrigerant of the second refrigerating machine 3.
[0024] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, since the refrigeration temperature range of the second refrigerating machine 3 is -60 degrees Celsius to -40 degrees Celsius, if only the exhaust pipe 8 is cooled by the conventional condenser, the condensed water in the exhaust pipe 8 is easy to freeze, thereby blocking the exhaust pipe 8. In the present scheme, the preliminarily dried air in the air inlet pipe 5 enters the buffer tank 7, the preliminarily dried air in the buffer tank 7 enters the condensing tank 401 of the second condenser 4 through the exhaust pipe 8 and the air inlet 410, and then is discharged through the air outlet 403. The refrigeration medium of the second refrigerating machine 3 enters the first refrigerant chamber 412 through the refrigerant inlet 411, then enters the second refrigerant chamber 406 through the heat exchange pipe 402, and finally flows back to the related components of the refrigerating machine from the refrigerant outlet 405. The moisture in the preliminarily dried air in the condensing tank 401 is cooled by the heat exchange pipe 402, and the condensed water generated flows into the metering tank 14 through the drain port 404 and the second liquid discharge pipe 12. Part of the condensed water freezes and remains in the condensing tank 401. Since the space of the heat exchange chamber 408 of the condensing tank 401 is large, it is difficult to block the passage between the air inlet 410 and the air outlet 403, thereby avoiding the situation that the exhaust pipe 8 is blocked due to the freezing of the condensed water.
[0025] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 On the basis of the technical scheme of the above embodiment, further, the bottom of the metering tank 14 is communicated with a third liquid discharge pipe 19, the first coaxial valve 20, the water pump 21 and the flowmeter 22 are installed on the third liquid discharge pipe 19, the end of the third liquid discharge pipe 19 away from the metering tank 14 is communicated with a water storage tank 23, the top of the water storage tank 23 is communicated with a gas exhaust valve 24, the bottom of the water storage tank 23 is communicated with a water drain valve 25, and the water storage tank 23 is installed on the machine base.
[0026] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, the first coaxial valve 20 is opened at regular time intervals, the water in the metering tank 14 is pumped into the water storage tank 23 through the water pump 21, and the flow of the pumped condensed water is detected by the flowmeter 22 to record the flow data of the condensed water pumped from the metering tank 14. After all the water in the metering tank 14 is discharged, the total amount of the condensed water is calculated through the flow data, so as to compare with the data recorded by the weighing device, thereby further verifying the accuracy of the data. When the water storage tank 23 is full, the water in the water storage tank 23 can be discharged through the water drain valve 25.
[0027] On the basis of the technical scheme of the above embodiment, further, the first liquid level sensor 15 and the second liquid level sensor 18 are installed in the metering tank 14, the first liquid level sensor 15 is installed in the upper section of the metering tank 14, and the second liquid level sensor 18 is installed in the lower section of the metering tank 14.
[0028] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, since the condensate water in the metering tank 14 is closed in the metering tank 14, the water level is inconvenient to observe, and thus it is inconvenient to know when to drain the water in the metering tank 14. In the scheme, after the condensate water level in the metering tank 14 is detected to be higher than the height of the first liquid level sensor 15 by the first liquid level sensor 15, the first coaxial valve 20 is opened and the water pump 21 is started to drain the condensate water in the metering tank 14 through the third liquid discharge pipe 19. When the condensate water in the metering tank 14 is lower than the height of the second liquid level sensor 18, the water pump 21 is closed and the first coaxial valve 20 is closed. The condensate water level in the metering tank 14 is conveniently judged, and thus it is convenient to judge when to perform the water draining operation.
[0029] On the basis of the technical scheme of the above embodiment, further, the frame body is fixedly connected to the base, the two sides of the metering tank 14 are fixedly connected with the fixed arms 16, and the metering tank 14 is erected on the frame body through the two fixed arms 16. The weighing sensor 17 is arranged between the two fixed arms 16 and the frame body.
[0030] By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment, since the weighing sensor 17 detects the weight change of the metering tank 14, the weight detection error is large, the data of the weight change of the metering tank 14 is analyzed, and the data is compared with the data detected by the weighing sensor 17, so as to further verify the accuracy of the weighing data.
[0031] On the basis of the technical scheme of the above embodiment, further, the dew point sensor 9 is installed on the exhaust pipe 8. The dryness degree of the gas in the exhaust pipe 8 is detected by the dew point sensor 9, so as to further verify the dryness degree inside the transformer.
[0032] The specific embodiment is only an explanation of the application, and is not a limitation of the application. Those skilled in the art can make non-creative modification to the embodiment according to the needs after reading the specification, and the application is protected by the patent law as long as it is within the scope of the claims.
