Abstract

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat dissipation of oil-immersed transformers, and in particular to an oil-guiding device for an oil-immersed transformer. Background Art
[0002] During operation, oil-immersed transformers, due to their large size and difficulty dissipating heat naturally, often require an oil guide mechanism to rapidly circulate the transformer oil within the tank to dissipate heat. However, as the oil flows, it rubs against the oil channels of the oil guide mechanism, causing the oil flow and the channels to become charged with positive and negative charges, respectively. This in turn causes charge accumulation on the surface of the insulating medium, ultimately leading to discharges that can endanger the safe operation of power equipment and even affect the stability of the power system.
[0003] At present, the current technology mainly limits the oil flow velocity in the oil-immersed transformer to a lower speed to avoid the accumulation of charge on the surface of the insulating medium. However, due to the slow oil flow velocity, the oil in some areas is difficult to flow, which reduces the heat dissipation effect of the oil-immersed transformer. Summary of the Invention

[0042] An embodiment of the present invention provides an oil-immersed transformer oil guide device for solving the technical problem that current technology mainly limits the oil flow velocity in the oil-immersed transformer to a lower speed to avoid charge accumulation on the surface of the insulating medium. However, due to the slow oil flow velocity, the oil in some areas is difficult to flow, which reduces the heat dissipation effect of the oil-immersed transformer.
[0043] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] For easier understanding, see Figure 1-6 , an oil-immersed transformer oil guide device, comprising an oil guide plate 1, three mounting components and an oil channel 14;
[0045] The oil guide plate 1 is provided with three holes 5 at equal intervals, and the mounting assembly passes through the holes 5 and is engaged with the oil guide plate 1;
[0046] All the mounting components are clamped between the coils 18 of the oil-immersed transformer winding, and the oil guide plate 1 is parallel to the coils 18;
[0047] The oil guide plate 1 is provided with an oil passage 14 in the radial direction, and the oil passage includes a main oil passage 15 and an auxiliary oil passage 16;
[0048] The head end of the auxiliary oil passage 16 is connected to the main oil passage 15 near the center of the oil guide plate 1 , and the tail end of the auxiliary oil passage 16 is connected to the main oil passage 15 away from the center of the oil guide plate 1 .
[0049] In this embodiment of the present invention, an oil-immersed transformer oil guide device 1 comprises an oil guide plate 1, multiple mounting components, and an oil passage 14. The oil guide plate 1 is provided with a plurality of equally spaced holes 5 extending through it, each of which is fitted with a mounting component. The oil guide plate 1 is secured to the coil 18 of the oil-immersed transformer winding via the mounting components, with the oil guide plate 1 positioned parallel to the coil 18. The center of the oil guide plate 1 faces the transformer core 19, and the oil passage 14 is provided through it.
[0050] See Figure 1-3As shown, the mounting assembly includes a first gasket 2, a second gasket 3 and a gasket nut 4; the top of the first gasket 2 passes through a hole 5 and is clamped with the bottom of the second gasket 3; the gasket nut 4 is threadedly connected to the first gasket 2, and the top of the gasket nut 4 abuts against the bottom of the oil guide plate 1.
[0051] In this embodiment of the present invention, the mounting assembly includes a first spacer 2, a second spacer 3, and a spacer nut 4. A hole 5 extends through the top of the first spacer 2 and connects to the bottom of the second spacer 3 via a mortise and tenon joint. The spacer nut 4 then reinforces the first spacer 2, securing the mounting assembly to the hole 5 in the oil deflector 1.
[0052] See Figure 1-2 As shown in 5-6, the main oil channel 15 is not perpendicular to the plane of the oil guide plate 1; the main oil channel 15 is a through structure, and the main oil channel 15 connects the bottom of the oil guide plate 1 close to the center of the oil guide plate 1 and the top of the oil guide plate 1 away from the center of the oil guide plate 1.
[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, the oil channel 14 includes a main oil channel 15 and an auxiliary oil channel 16. Auxiliary oil channels 16 are provided on both sides of the main oil channel 15. When the transformer oil flows through the oil channel 14 on the surface of the oil guide plate 1, a portion of the oil flows into the main oil channel 15, passes through the oil guide plate 1, and the other portion enters the end bend of the auxiliary oil channel 16. Due to the influence of its pressure and flow rate, the oil entering the auxiliary oil channel 16 flows out of the auxiliary oil channel 16 from the other end of the auxiliary oil channel 16 in the opposite direction of the oil flow in the main oil channel 15, preventing the oil in the main oil channel 15 from entering the auxiliary oil channel 16 from this end, thereby achieving one-way oil flow. By providing auxiliary oil channels 16 on both sides of the main oil channel 15, the transformer oil is evenly guided to various parts of the transformer winding and other key components, avoiding local overheating and ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the transformer. At the same time, the contact area between the oil and the winding surface is increased, accelerating heat transfer, thereby improving cooling efficiency.
[0054] In another embodiment, the oil passage 14 includes a main oil passage 15, an auxiliary oil passage 16 and a filter. The main oil passage 15 is provided with a filter to remove solid particles in the transformer oil, such as metal chips, fibers, dust, etc., thereby avoiding the formation of sludge due to long-term operation, which may cause blockage of the oil passage 14, extending the service life of the oil, and improving the reliability of transformer operation.
[0055] In another embodiment, a plurality of oil channels 14 are provided at equal intervals through the surface of the oil guide plate 1 .
[0056] See Figure 1-3As shown, the first cushion block 2 includes a clamping block 7, a screw 6 and a chassis 9; the bottom of the clamping block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 6, and the top of the screw 6 passes through the hole 5 and is clamped with the bottom of the second cushion block 3 through the clamping block 7; the bottom of the screw 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the chassis 9, and the bottom of the chassis 9 abuts against one side of the wire cake 18; the top of the screw 6 is provided with an external thread 12 which is threadedly connected to the cushion block nut 4.
[0057] In this embodiment of the present invention, the first spacer 2 includes a block 7, a screw 6, and a chassis 9 with a mortise and tenon structure. The bottom of the block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 6, and the block 7 is located at the center of the top of the screw 6. The bottom of the screw 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the chassis 9, and the screw 6 is located at the center of the top of the chassis 9. The hole 5 at the top of the screw 6 is connected to the slot 8 provided at the bottom of the second spacer 3 through the block 7. The bottom of the chassis 9 abuts against one side of the wire coil 18. The top of the screw 6 is provided with an external thread 12, which is threadedly connected to the spacer nut 4.
[0058] See Figure 1-2 As shown in Figure 4, the spacer nut 4 includes a nut washer 11 and a nut body 10; the top of the nut body 10 abuts against the bottom of the nut washer 11, and the top of the nut washer 11 abuts against the bottom of the oil guide plate 1; the nut body 10 is provided with an internal threaded hole 13, the top of the screw rod 6 passes through the internal threaded hole 13, and is threadedly connected to the internal threaded hole 13 through the external thread 12.
[0059] In this embodiment of the present invention, the first spacer 2 is fixed to the oil deflector 1 via the nut body 10. The nut body 10 is then used to fine-tune the mounting assembly so that both ends of the mounting assembly abut against the wire coil 18. By placing a nut washer 11 between the nut body 10 and the oil deflector 1, the pressure exerted by the nut body 10 on the oil deflector 1 is dispersed, preventing localized stress concentration and minimizing damage to the oil deflector 1. Furthermore, the friction between the nut and the oil deflector 1 is increased, helping to prevent the nut from loosening due to vibration.
[0060] See Figure 1-2 As shown in , 4 , the second cushion block 3 is provided with a card slot 8 ; the card block 7 is arranged inside the card slot 8 .
[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second cushion block 3 is provided with a clamping groove 8 of a mortise and tenon structure, which is connected to the clamping block 7 adapted to the first cushion block 2 through mortise and tenon.
[0062] See Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of grooves 17 are provided on the top of the oil guide plate 1 ; the depth of the grooves 17 is 2 to 5 times the diameter of the grooves 17 .
[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the top of the oil guide plate 1 is provided with multiple grooves 17. During transformer operation, the grooves 17 absorb sound waves with a frequency less than 1000 Hz generated by the vibration of the iron core 19, reducing transformer operating noise. This allows large oil-immersed power transformers to achieve higher oil flow rates than before, thereby increasing heat dissipation efficiency. The depth of the grooves 17 is 2 to 5 times the diameter of the grooves 17. Deeper grooves 17 provide larger oil flow channels, facilitating even distribution of transformer oil on the oil guide plate 1. This ensures that the oil flow covers more of the winding surface, improving cooling efficiency. Furthermore, this prevents the oil flow from short-circuiting on the oil guide plate 1 (i.e., oil flowing directly from one groove 17 to another without passing through the winding surface), thereby ensuring that the oil flow effectively cools the winding.
[0064] It should be noted that the groove 17 is circular; the diameter of the groove 17 is 1 mm to 25 mm, and the diameter of the groove 17 gradually increases along the radial direction.
[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the groove 17 is circular, the diameter of the groove 17 is 1 mm to 25 mm, and the diameter of the groove 17 follows a gradient exponential distribution along the radial direction (i.e., assuming that the diameter of the smallest groove 17 is r, the diameter of the i-th hole 5 is r i =r×k i , k is any real number ranging from 1 to 5). The radially increasing grooves 17 increase the contact area between the oil and the oil guide plate 1, optimizing the heat exchange process and improving cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the oil guide plate 1 can adapt to radial temperature gradients, ensuring consistent cooling.
[0066] In another embodiment, the grooves 17 are arranged in order from small to large along a ray with the center of the oil guide plate 1 as the vertex.
[0067] It should be noted that the oil guide plate 1 and the mounting assembly are both made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0068] In this embodiment of the present invention, the oil deflector plate 1 and mounting assembly are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Friction between PTFE and transformer oil produces virtually no charge transfer, effectively preventing electrical discharge failures caused by friction between the oil flow and the oil deflector plate 1. PTFE also maintains its physical and chemical properties over a wide temperature range, typically operating within a temperature range of -200°C to 260°C. This allows the oil deflector plate 1 to adapt to temperature fluctuations during transformer operation.
[0069] It should be noted that the oil guide plate 1 is in the shape of a hollow arc.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, the oil guide plate 1 is hollow arc-shaped, which can provide a continuous oil flow channel, helping to evenly distribute the transformer oil on the oil guide plate 1. At the same time, it can reduce the resistance of the oil flow on the oil guide plate 1, making the oil flow smoother.
[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, an oil deflector plate is clamped between the coils of a transformer winding using an installation assembly, and an oil channel is provided through the oil deflector plate. The provision of the oil channel allows oil in the dead zone to flow unidirectionally through the oil deflector plate, thereby overcoming the technical problem that existing technologies, which primarily limit the oil flow velocity within the oil-immersed transformer to a low speed to prevent charge accumulation on the surface of the insulating medium, but the slow oil flow makes it difficult for the oil to flow in some areas, thereby reducing the heat dissipation effect of the oil-immersed transformer. Compared with traditional oil deflectors, the oil channel of the present invention allows the oil flow within the transformer to have a higher flow rate, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the oil-immersed transformer.
