[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0037] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0038] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0039] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.
[0040] Example 1, reference Figure 1~Figure 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a corrugated transformer oil tank, including an oil tank body 101 as a sealed container, which not only stores transformer oil, but also isolates the external environment to prevent the oil from being contaminated.
[0041] Specifically, the main assembly 100 includes an oil tank body 101, a sleeve member 102 arranged at the top of the oil tank body 101 for connecting the line, the sleeve member 102 is evenly arranged along the length direction of the oil tank body 101, and a bottom plate member 103 for driving the overall movement of the transformer is installed at the bottom of the oil tank body 101. The main function of the corrugated transformer oil tank is to contain transformer oil and protect the internal electrical components. The oil tank body 101 is a sealed container for storing transformer oil and preventing the external environment from affecting the oil quality. As the main oil storage container, the oil tank body 101 not only provides a closed space for storing transformer oil, but also its corrugated design can adapt to the volume change of the oil body due to temperature changes and reduce internal pressure fluctuations.
[0042] Furthermore, a lifting and mixing device 104 is installed on the side wall of the bushing member 102. The lifting and mixing device 104 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the oil tank body 101. The lifting and mixing device 104 ensures that the transformer can be safely and smoothly installed or moved.
[0043] Furthermore, the bushing 102 includes a high-voltage bushing 102a disposed at the top of the oil tank body 101, which is used to connect the high-voltage circuit part of the transformer to ensure that the current is input into the transformer from the external power supply. The side wall of the high-voltage bushing 102a is provided with a low-voltage bushing 102b, which is connected to the low-voltage output part of the transformer so that the current can be transmitted to the load. The bottom end of the low-voltage bushing 102b is connected to the oil tank body 101. The high-voltage bushing 102a and the low-voltage bushing 102b are respectively used to connect the high-voltage and low-voltage parts of the transformer. The gas relay 102c detects the gas content in the transformer oil and promptly discovers possible faults. The tubular oil level gauge 102d displays the changes in the oil level to help operators monitor the oil volume and ensure that the oil volume is within a safe range.
[0044] Furthermore, the bushing 102 further includes a gas relay 102c disposed at the top of the oil tank body 101, and a tubular oil level gauge 102d is installed on a side of the low-pressure bushing 102b away from the gas relay 102c.
[0045] Furthermore, the bottom plate member 103 includes a bottom corner 103a arranged at the bottom end of the tank body 101, the bottom corner 103a is arranged in an inverted "U" shape, and a moving wheel 103b is installed at the bottom end of the bottom corner 103a. The bottom plate member 103 provides mobility, and the bottom corner 103a and the moving wheel 103b enable the entire device to be moved between different positions.
[0046] Operation process: Before installation, ensure that all components are intact and prepare the necessary tools and equipment. Install the bottom plate 103 at the bottom end of the tank body 101, and ensure that the bottom corner 103a and the moving wheel 103b are firmly installed. Install the high-pressure bushing 102a at the top of the tank body 101, and install the low-pressure bushing 102b on the side wall of the high-pressure bushing 102a, ensuring that both are tightly connected to the tank body 101. Install the gas relay 102c and the tubular oil level gauge 102d, and arrange them reasonably with the high-pressure bushing 102a and the low-pressure bushing 102b. Install the lifting and mixing 104 on the side wall of the bushing 102, and ensure that it is symmetrically arranged to facilitate subsequent lifting operations. Before use, check whether all components are installed correctly, especially whether the gas relay 102c and the tubular oil level gauge 102d are working properly. According to the indication of the tubular oil level gauge 102d, ensure that the oil level is within the appropriate range. Use a crane or other suitable equipment to smoothly lift the corrugated transformer tank and move it to the designated location by hoisting 104. Connect the high-voltage bushing 102a and low-voltage bushing 102b to the power system to ensure that the electrical connections are correct. Regularly check the oil level and the status of the gas relay 102c to ensure that the equipment is operating normally. If the equipment needs to be moved, use the moving wheels 103b to easily move it to the desired location.
[0047] Example 2, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3~Figure 6 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the heat dissipation component 200 is used to improve the heat dissipation effect of the transformer oil tank and solve the problem of volume change of the oil body caused by temperature change.
[0048] Specifically, the heat dissipation assembly 200 includes a heat dissipation member 201 arranged on the side wall of the oil tank body 101. The heat dissipation member 201 is located around the oil tank body 101, and the heat dissipation member 201 is evenly distributed for heat dissipation of the oil tank body 101. An expansion member 202 is arranged inside the heat dissipation member 201. The expansion member 202 is used to reserve expansion space for oil expansion. The heat dissipation member 201 is designed around the oil tank body 101, and uses natural air convection or forced air cooling to take away the heat generated during the operation of the transformer. The expansion member 202 provides additional space required for the oil body to change in volume due to temperature changes, thereby avoiding safety problems caused by excessive or insufficient internal pressure.
[0049] Furthermore, the heat sink 201 includes a shell 201a arranged on the side wall of the oil tank body 101, and a fixing groove 201b is arranged inside the shell 201a. The top and bottom ends of the shell 201a slowly narrow to form a limiting groove 201c. The top and bottom ends of the shell 201a are designed to gradually narrow to form a limiting groove 201c, which is used to limit the movement range of the expansion member 202 and ensure that the expansion member 202 can freely expand and contract within a certain range.
[0050] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1.
[0051] Operation process: Make sure that all components have been correctly installed in accordance with the requirements of Example 1. Prepare the tools and materials required to install the heat dissipation components. Distribute the heat sink 201 evenly around the oil tank body 101 and ensure that it is firmly installed. Check whether the heat sink 201 is damaged or deformed, and replace it with a new one if necessary. Place the expansion member 202 in the fixing groove 201b inside the heat sink 201. Confirm that the expansion member 202 can move freely in the limit groove 201c, but will not deviate from the fixed range. Check the ventilation effect of the heat sink 201 to ensure that it can dissipate heat effectively. Observe the working status of the expansion member 202 to ensure that it can freely expand and contract with the change of oil temperature without jamming. Start the transformer and observe the temperature change of the oil tank body 101. Monitor whether the gas relay 102c is working properly to ensure that the gas relay 102c can accurately reflect the gas content in the oil. Use the tubular oil level gauge 102d to check whether the oil level is within the normal range and adjust it with the temperature change. Regularly check whether the heat sink 201 is blocked or damaged, and clean the dust or debris on the surface of the heat sink. Regularly check the expansion of the expansion member 202 to ensure that it can work normally. Adjust the cooling method according to the actual situation, such as turning on the forced air cooling system in a high temperature environment.
[0052] Through the above operation process, it can be ensured that the corrugated transformer oil tank can maintain good heat dissipation performance under different working conditions, and when the oil body changes in volume due to temperature changes, the expansion member 202 can effectively absorb this part of the change to prevent abnormal pressure inside the oil tank. This not only improves the reliability of the equipment, but also extends the service life of the transformer.
[0053] Example 3, reference Figure 3~Figure 7 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the above embodiments in that: Embodiment 3 further optimizes the design of the expansion member 202 on the basis of Embodiment 2, aiming to improve the stability and reliability of the expansion member 202.
[0054] Specifically, the expansion member 202 includes an expansion plate 202a disposed inside the fixed groove 201b, the expansion plate 202a is arranged in a corrugated shape and connected to and communicated with the oil tank body 101, the top and bottom ends of the expansion plate 202a are slowly narrowed in opposite directions and are equipped with a sliding block 202b, the sliding block 202b is located inside the limiting groove 201c, the corrugated expansion plate 202a can be stretched or contracted according to the change of oil temperature, and the sliding block 202b ensures the expansion plate 202a to move smoothly in the limiting groove 201c;
[0055] Furthermore, a buffer plate 202d is installed on the side wall of the expansion plate 202a. The buffer plate 202d is located inside the fixing groove 201b, and the buffer plate 202d has three surface contacts with the expansion plate 202a through the spring gasket 202e, which is used to improve the expansion stability of the expansion plate 202a. The buffer plate 202d and the spring gasket 202e are used in combination to enhance the stability of the expansion plate 202a and prevent mechanical stress damage caused by sudden changes in oil temperature.
[0056] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 2.
[0057] Operation process: Confirm that all components of Example 2 have been correctly installed and are in good condition. Prepare the tools and materials required for installing and debugging the expansion member. Place the corrugated expansion plate 202a into the fixed groove 201b of the heat sink 201. Make sure that the sliding block 202b of the expansion plate 202a is located in the limiting groove 201c of the heat sink 201 housing 201a and can slide freely. Install the buffer plate 202d in the fixed groove 201b and make it contact with the expansion plate 202a through the spring gasket 202e. Check whether the contact between the buffer plate 202d and the expansion plate 202a is good to ensure that the buffer plate can play a stabilizing role when the expansion plate is retracted. After the installation is completed, carefully check whether all components of the expansion member 202 are installed correctly to ensure that the positions of the sliding block 202b and the buffer plate 202d are accurate. Test the telescopic performance of the expansion plate 202a to ensure that it can move smoothly in the limiting groove 201c without any jamming or looseness. Start the transformer and observe the changes in the oil temperature and oil level in the oil tank body 101 .
[0058] Through the above operation process, Example 3 not only improves the reliability of the expansion member 202, but also enhances its adaptability in complex environments, ensuring that the corrugated transformer oil tank can operate safely and stably under various working conditions.
