Abstract

This invention discloses a safe heat dissipation transformer, including a mounting frame. A transformer body is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and circulating hollow columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the transformer body. A follower is rotatably connected inside the circulating hollow columns. This invention draws water from the tank and inputs it at low pressure into the loop pipe by activating a sprinkler assembly, causing the water to flow downwards along the outside of the circulating hollow columns. This not only washes the outer surface of the circulating hollow columns, improving heat dissipation, but also allows for water recycling. As the water flows downwards naturally, some of it evaporates due to heat, while the rest is filtered by the filter and returns to the tank for reuse, maximizing water utilization. This achieves combined heat dissipation and energy saving, while also allowing for adjustable heat dissipation to suit different outdoor temperatures, resulting in better heat dissipation and high flexibility.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transformer technology, and more specifically, to a transformer with safe heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] Transformers are fundamental equipment for power transmission and distribution, and are widely used in industries, agriculture, transportation, and urban communities. They are devices that use the principle of electromagnetic induction to change AC voltage. The main components are the primary coil, the secondary coil, and the iron core. Transformers have important functions such as voltage transformation, current transformation, impedance transformation, isolation, and voltage stabilization.

[0003] When a transformer is in operation, it generates a lot of heat, which needs to be dissipated to ensure that the equipment is within a reasonable operating temperature range. Currently, common heat dissipation methods include forced air cooling and lightweight circulating oil cooling. However, the heat dissipation efficiency of these methods is limited. As outdoor temperatures vary with the seasons, the heat dissipation effect decreases in hot summer weather due to the high ambient temperature. It is difficult to adjust the heat dissipation method appropriately for different ambient temperatures, resulting in poor flexibility and applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a transformer with safe heat dissipation.

[0005] To address the problems in the background technology, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A safe heat dissipation transformer includes a mounting frame. A transformer body is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame. Circulating hollow columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the transformer body. Followers are rotatably connected inside the circulating hollow columns. The top of each follower extends upward to the top of the circulating hollow column and is detachably connected to a fan blade. One side of the top of the circulating hollow column communicates with the interior of the transformer body through a pipe. A circulation drive component is installed between the bottom of the circulating hollow column and the transformer body. Two fixed brackets are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame, and a water tank is fixedly connected between the two fixed brackets.

The circulation pump is fixedly installed on the outside of the transformer body. The input end manifold of the circulation pump is connected to the bottom of the circulation hollow column. The output end of the circulation pump is fixedly connected to the inside of the transformer body through a conduit.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the circulating hollow column is provided with heat dissipation fins arranged at equal intervals on the side away from the transformer body.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the guide plate is tilted upwards on the side away from the transformer body.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figures 1-6 In this invention, a transformer for safe heat dissipation includes a mounting frame 1. A transformer body 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1. Circulating hollow columns 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the transformer body 2. Follower 4 is rotatably connected inside the circulating hollow columns 3. The top of the follower 4 extends upward to the top of the circulating hollow columns 3 and is detachably connected to a fan blade 5. One side of the top of the circulating hollow columns 3 is connected to the interior of the transformer body 2 through a pipe. A circulating drive component 6 is installed between the bottom of the circulating hollow columns 3 and the transformer body 2. Two fixed brackets 7 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 1. A water tank 8 is fixedly connected between the two fixed brackets 7. A water spraying component 9 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1. Filter guide components 10 that cooperate with the circulating hollow columns 3 are installed on both sides of the transformer body 2.

[0028] The sprinkler assembly 9 includes a water suction pipe 91, a low-pressure water pump 92, an output pipe 93, and a ring pipe 94. The low-pressure water pump 92 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket 1. The input end of the low-pressure water pump 92 is connected and fixed to the water tank 8 through the water suction pipe 91. The output end of the low-pressure water pump 92 is connected and fixed to the ring pipe 94 through the output pipe 93. The ring pipe 94 is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the transformer body 2. The bottom of the ring pipe 94 has drainage holes 95 arranged at equal intervals.

[0029] In this invention, the mounting frame 1 serves as a device support, connecting the transformer body 2 to the support unit. When the transformer body 2 is running, the heat generated inside is absorbed by the internal insulating oil, causing the temperature of the insulating oil to rise. This activates the circulation drive component 6, which extracts the insulating oil and allows it to flow into the interior of the circulation hollow column 3, dissipating the heat. Furthermore, the flow of the insulating oil pushes the follower component 4 to rotate, thereby driving the fan blades 5 to rotate and accelerating the airflow outside the transformer body 2, achieving forced air cooling. This eliminates the need for additional fans, utilizing liquid flow for drive, resulting in greater energy savings. Additionally, each fan blade 5 independently guides airflow to each circulation hollow column 3, increasing the equipment's heat dissipation effect and achieving a combination of both.

[0030] Meanwhile, in summer when temperatures are high, to improve the equipment's heat dissipation performance, the water spray component 9 is activated to draw water from inside the water tank 8 and input it into the ring pipe 94 at low pressure, causing the water to flow downwards along the outside of the circulating hollow column 3. This not only washes the outer surface of the circulating hollow column 3, improving the heat dissipation effect, but also, as the water flows downwards naturally, some of it evaporates due to heat, while the rest is filtered by the filter guide component 10 and flows back into the water tank 8 for recycling, achieving full utilization of water volume. This enables the device to have combined heat dissipation and achieve energy-saving effects. It also allows for adjustable heat dissipation for different outdoor temperatures, offering better heat dissipation and high flexibility. This solves the problems of existing heat dissipation methods, such as forced air cooling and lightweight circulating oil cooling, which have limited heat dissipation efficiency. As outdoor temperatures vary with the seasons, the high ambient temperature in summer leads to a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency, making it difficult to adjust the heat dissipation method reasonably for different ambient temperatures, resulting in poor flexibility and applicability.

[0031] See also Figure 1 The circulating drive unit 6 includes a circulating pump 61, a conduit 62, and a manifold 63. The circulating pump 61 is fixedly installed on the outside of the transformer body 2. The input end of the circulating pump 61, the manifold 63, is connected to the bottom of the circulating hollow column 3. The output end of the circulating pump 61 is connected to the inside of the transformer body 2 through the conduit 62 and fixed.

[0032] In this invention, the circulating pump 61 is started to draw out the inside of the circulating hollow column 3 through the manifold 63, so that a negative pressure is formed inside it. Then, the insulating oil inside the transformer body 2 is drawn out through the conduit 62, so that the insulating oil continuously exchanges heat with the outside air through the circulating hollow column 3 to achieve heat dissipation. At the same time, the rotation of the follower 4 accelerates the flow of outside air and improves the heat dissipation performance.

[0033] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 Among them, the circulating hollow column 3 is provided with heat dissipation fins 31 arranged at equal intervals on the side away from the transformer body 2.

[0034] In this invention, the heat dissipation fins 31 improve the heat dissipation effect of the circulating hollow column 3 and increase the contact area with air.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The follower 4 includes a rotating column 41 and a blade 42. The bottom end of the rotating column 41 is rotatably connected to the interior of the circulating hollow column 3. The top of the rotating column 41 extends to the top of the circulating hollow column 3 and is detachably connected to the fan blade 5. The blade 42 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating column 41.

[0036] In this invention, the blade 42 is rotated by the flow of insulating oil, which in turn drives the rotating column 41 to rotate, thereby driving the fan blade 5 to rotate and achieving efficient heat dissipation.

[0037] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 The filter guide component 10 includes a guide plate 101, a filter screen 102, and a connecting pipe 103. The guide plate 101 is fixedly installed to the bottom of the circulating hollow column 3. The filter screen 102 is obliquely fixedly installed to the top of the guide plate 101. The other side of the filter screen 102 fits and is fixedly fixed to the circulating hollow column 3 and is fixedly connected to the outside of the transformer body 2. The top end of the connecting pipe 103 passes through the top of the guide plate 101 and communicates with it. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 103 passes through the bottom of the mounting bracket 1 and is inserted into the interior of the water tank 8.

[0038] In this invention, the water flowing down the circulating hollow column 3 is filtered by the filter screen 102 to prevent dust and debris from clogging the pipe. The water then flows down and is collected by the guide plate 101 and flows back down to the interior of the water tank 8 through the connecting pipe 103, increasing the water usage time.

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 The filter screen 102 is fixed to the side away from the guide plate 101 with the gap between it and the heat dissipation fins 31.

[0040] In this invention, the filter screen 102 is fixed to the heat dissipation fins 31 by fitting the side away from the guide plate 101, so that the water can be filtered along the gap between the heat dissipation fins 31, and the structure covers more comprehensively.

[0041] See also Figure 2 Among them, the guide plate 101 is tilted upward on the side away from the transformer body 2.

[0042] In this invention, the guide plate 101 is tilted upwards on the side away from the transformer body 2, so that the water flow is smoothly guided to the connecting pipe 103, making the flow smoother.

[0043] See also Figure 3 Among them, the drain hole 95 is aligned and fitted with the lower circulating hollow column 3.

[0044] In this invention, the drainage hole 95 is aligned with the circulating hollow column 3 below, so that the water flow covers the circulating hollow column 3 more precisely, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
