Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of explosion-proof of electric power equipment, and in particular to an auxiliary oil tank structure for a split-type on-load tap changer. Background Art

[0002] The on-load tap changer of the UHV converter transformer adjusts the winding ratio to compensate for voltage fluctuations, improve power quality and stabilize DC transmission power, but it includes many complex and precise components. Once the switching time error of the components exceeds a certain range, it may cause the tap changer to fail, a continuous arc to be generated between the contacts, and an arc discharge of hundreds of kiloamperes inside the switch, with a discharge energy of several megajoules or even tens of megajoules. Faced with such a huge amount of energy, the pressure release valve cannot fully guarantee that the pressure is released in time, which may cause the converter transformer to explode and catch fire in severe cases.

[0003] In order to reduce the loss in the event of an accident, the split-type on-load tap-changer places the switching core part that is prone to arc faults separately in an oil tank, and realizes electrical connection with other parts through the internal casing. This oil tank is called the "subsidiary oil tank" of the split-type on-load tap-changer. Before the split-type on-load tap-changer is put into use, multiple large-capacity short-circuit arc tests will be carried out to verify the reliability of the oil tank structure. In order to strengthen the structural strength of the auxiliary oil tank, a reinforcing rib structure is welded on its side wall. Then, in the large-capacity short-circuit arc test currently carried out, the reinforcing ribs have been broken several times, and the box body near the reinforcing ribs has obvious deformation, which poses a great safety hazard.

[0004] In summary, the auxiliary oil tank structure of the existing split-type on-load tap-changer has defects. When an arc fault occurs, there is a risk of the tank body rupture, which seriously threatens the overall safety of the converter transformer. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary oil tank structure for a split-type on-load tap changer. The original split-type on-load tap changer auxiliary oil tank is strengthened by welding a local protrusion on the outside of the box body, and the reinforcing rib structure is relatively simple, which does not significantly improve the overall strength. The present invention optimizes the reinforcing rib structure, adds a right-angle seat and horizontal and vertical ribs, which can effectively improve the structural strength of the auxiliary oil tank and effectively reduce the deformation of the box shell during an arc fault.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following scheme.

[0007] An auxiliary oil tank structure for a split-type on-load tap changer comprises an auxiliary oil tank, reinforcing ribs, an oil chamber barrel and a pressure release valve.

[0008] Optionally, the auxiliary oil tank includes: an oil tank body and a tank top cover, wherein the tank top cover is located above the oil tank body and fixed by bolts; the oil chamber barrel is located inside the auxiliary oil tank and fixed to the tank top cover by bolts; and the pressure relief valve is located above the oil chamber barrel.

[0009] Optionally, the reinforcing ribs include: boss reinforcing ribs, vertical reinforcing ribs, transverse reinforcing ribs and right-angle seat reinforcing ribs.

[0010] Optionally, the boss reinforcement ribs are located on three side walls of the auxiliary oil tank, and another side wall of the auxiliary oil tank is connected to the main oil tank without a reinforcement rib structure.

[0011] Optionally, the boss reinforcement rib is a hollow structure, connected to the auxiliary oil tank by welding, and not connected to the interior of the auxiliary oil tank, and is used to increase the strength of the tank structure by changing the external shape of the auxiliary oil tank.

[0012] Optionally, the vertical and transverse reinforcement ribs are the internal structure of the boss reinforcement ribs, which are fixed to the auxiliary oil tank by welding. The vertical and transverse reinforcement ribs are provided to resist the side deformation caused by the internal pressure and improve the explosion-proof capability of the oil tank.

[0013] Optionally, the intersection points of the transverse reinforcement ribs and the vertical reinforcement ribs and the contact points between the two types of reinforcement ribs and the side walls of the auxiliary oil tank are continuously welded to ensure that the joints have sufficient strength to avoid desoldering or cracking due to vibration or impact.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] Compared with the existing split-type on-load tap changer auxiliary oil tank, the present invention optimizes the auxiliary oil tank reinforcement rib structure, adds horizontal and vertical reinforcement ribs and right-angle seat reinforcement ribs and other structures, effectively enhances the tensile strength and bending strength of the auxiliary oil tank, helps to reduce the deformation of the box shell in an arc fault, and enhances the explosion-proof performance of the auxiliary oil tank.

[0032] In one embodiment, the present invention provides an auxiliary oil tank structure for a split-type on-load tap changer, the auxiliary oil tank structure comprising: an auxiliary oil tank, reinforcing ribs, an oil chamber barrel and a pressure release valve.

[0033] Optionally, the auxiliary oil tank includes: an oil tank body and a tank top cover, wherein the tank top cover is located above the oil tank body and fixed by bolts; the oil chamber barrel is located inside the auxiliary oil tank and fixed to the tank top cover by bolts; and the pressure relief valve is located above the oil chamber barrel.

[0034] Optionally, the reinforcing ribs include: boss reinforcing ribs, vertical reinforcing ribs, transverse reinforcing ribs and right-angle seat reinforcing ribs.

[0035] Optionally, the boss reinforcement ribs are located on three side walls of the auxiliary oil tank, and another side wall of the auxiliary oil tank is connected to the main oil tank without a reinforcement rib structure.

[0036] Optionally, the boss reinforcement rib is a hollow structure, connected to the auxiliary oil tank by welding, and not connected to the interior of the auxiliary oil tank, and is used to increase the strength of the tank structure by changing the external shape of the auxiliary oil tank.

[0037] Optionally, the vertical and transverse reinforcement ribs are the internal structure of the boss reinforcement ribs, which are fixed to the auxiliary oil tank by welding. The vertical and transverse reinforcement ribs are provided to resist the side deformation caused by the internal pressure and improve the explosion-proof capability of the oil tank.

[0038] Optionally, the intersection points of the transverse reinforcement ribs and the vertical reinforcement ribs and the contact points between the two types of reinforcement ribs and the side walls of the auxiliary oil tank are continuously welded to ensure that the joints have sufficient strength to avoid desoldering or cracking due to vibration or impact.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The present invention provides an auxiliary oil tank structure for a split-type on-load tap changer, the auxiliary oil tank structure comprising: an auxiliary oil tank (1), a reinforcing rib (2), an oil chamber barrel (3) and a pressure release valve (4).

[0040] The auxiliary oil tank (1) comprises: an oil tank body (101) and a tank body top cover (102); the tank body top cover (102) is located above the oil tank body (101) and is fixed by bolts.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The oil chamber barrel (3) is located inside the auxiliary oil tank (1) and is fixed to the tank top cover (102) by bolts; and is arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the auxiliary oil tank (1); and the pressure relief valve (4) is located directly above the oil chamber barrel (3). Figure 3 The reinforcing ribs (2) include: boss reinforcing ribs (201), vertical reinforcing ribs (202), transverse reinforcing ribs (203) and right-angle seat reinforcing ribs (204).

[0042] The boss reinforcement ribs (201) are located on three side walls of the auxiliary oil tank, and the other side wall of the auxiliary oil tank is connected to the main oil tank without a reinforcement rib structure. The boss reinforcement ribs (201) are hollow structures, and the four sides are connected to the auxiliary oil tank by welding, and are not connected to the inside of the auxiliary oil tank. The strength of the oil tank structure is increased by changing the external shape of the auxiliary oil tank.

[0043] The vertical reinforcement ribs (202) and the transverse reinforcement ribs (203) are the internal structure of the boss reinforcement ribs (201), which are fixed to the auxiliary oil tank (1) by welding. The structural design of the transverse and vertical reinforcement ribs can resist the side deformation caused by the internal pressure, and effectively improve the explosion-proof ability of the oil tank. The transverse reinforcement ribs (203) and the vertical reinforcement ribs (202) can support each other, further improving the overall stability of the oil tank structure, resisting mechanical impact, thermal expansion and torsional deformation, etc., and preventing local instability.

[0044] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The boss reinforcement ribs (201) include three vertical reinforcement ribs (202) arranged at equal distances and three transverse reinforcement ribs (203) arranged perpendicular to the vertical reinforcement ribs (202); wherein the two transverse reinforcement ribs located near the top and bottom of the oil tank are arranged symmetrically with respect to the transverse reinforcement rib located in the middle, and both are at a certain distance from the top and the bottom.

[0045] In one embodiment, the contact points between the transverse reinforcing ribs (203) and the vertical reinforcing ribs (202) and the side wall of the oil tank and the intersection points with each other are continuously welded, which can ensure that the connection has sufficient strength and avoid desoldering or cracking due to vibration or impact.

[0046] At the intersection of the transverse reinforcing rib (203) and the vertical reinforcing rib (202), a reinforcing plate or a reinforcing block is used for local thickening welding to further improve the strength of the intersection and prevent damage caused by stress concentration.

[0047] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The right-angle seat reinforcement ribs (204) are arranged on the outer wall of the auxiliary oil tank, and four are arranged on each side at equal distances; the two right-angle sides of the right-angle seat reinforcement ribs (204) are respectively welded to the auxiliary oil tank and the boss reinforcement ribs, so as to simultaneously improve the structural strength of the two, so as to resist the stress generated at the structural mutation point when an arc fault occurs.

[0048] In one embodiment, one side of the auxiliary oil tank is connected to the main oil tank, and the other three sides are all provided with reinforcement ribs for protection, and all of them are provided in a manner of three vertical reinforcement ribs (202), three horizontal reinforcement ribs (203) and four right-angle seat reinforcement ribs (204) on the left and right. The structure is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0049] When an arc fault occurs, the diaphragm of the pressure relief valve is impacted and opens, releasing the pressure in the oil chamber barrel. When the arc discharge energy is small, the pressure relief valve can release the pressure in the oil chamber barrel to a safe level in time. However, when the arc discharge energy is large, the bottom of the oil chamber barrel often breaks earlier than the pressure relief valve, and the pressure in the oil chamber is released into the auxiliary oil tank, causing the auxiliary oil tank to be impacted. In this case, the structure of the boss reinforcement rib (201), the vertical reinforcement rib (202), the transverse reinforcement rib (203) and the right-angle seat reinforcement rib (204) can effectively enhance the tensile strength and bending strength of the auxiliary oil tank, effectively reduce the deformation of the box shell in the arc fault, and enhance the explosion-proof performance of the auxiliary oil tank. The reinforcement rib significantly increases the section inertia moment by increasing the effective cross-section of the structure, thereby enhancing the deformation resistance of the structure. At the same time, the transverse and longitudinal reinforcement ribs are provided to help the oil tank resist deformation in different directions at the same time, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure. The presence of reinforcement ribs changes the force transmission path, making the stress distribution on the tank wall more uniform. The coordinated setting of transverse and longitudinal reinforcement ribs further diversifies the force transmission path, realizes multi-directional stress dispersion, and improves the overall strength and safety of the structure.
