Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of explosion-proof of power equipment, and particularly relates to an auxiliary oil tank structure for a split type on-load tap changer. BACKGROUND

[0002] The on-load tap changer of the extra-high voltage converter transformer realizes compensation of voltage fluctuation, improvement of power quality and stabilization of DC transmission power by adjusting the winding ratio, but it includes numerous components with complex structure and precise cooperation. Once the switching time error of the components exceeds a certain range, the switching of the tap changer may fail, continuous arc may occur between the contacts, and arc discharge of hundreds of kiloampere may occur inside the switching switch, and the discharge energy may be several megajoules or even tens of megajoules. In the face of such huge energy, the pressure relief valve cannot completely ensure that the pressure is released in time, and in severe cases, the converter transformer may explode and catch fire.

[0003] In order to reduce the loss in the event of an accident, the switching core part prone to arc failure of the split type on-load tap changer is separately placed in an oil tank, and electrical connection is realized through an internal sleeve and other parts. The oil tank is referred to as the "auxiliary oil tank" of the split type on-load tap changer. Before the split type on-load tap changer is put into use, a large-capacity short-circuit arc test is carried out to verify the reliability of the oil tank structure. In order to strengthen the strength of the auxiliary oil tank, a reinforcing rib structure is welded on the side wall of the auxiliary oil tank. Then, in the large-capacity short-circuit arc test currently carried out, the reinforcing rib has been broken several times, and the tank body near the reinforcing rib has obvious deformation, which has 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 tank rupture, which seriously threatens the overall safety of the converter transformer. SUMMARY

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

[0032] In one embodiment, the present application provides an auxiliary tank structure for split on-load tap changer, the auxiliary tank structure comprises: an auxiliary tank, a reinforcing rib, an oil chamber barrel and a pressure relief valve.

[0038] Optionally, the intersection of the horizontal reinforcing rib and the vertical reinforcing rib and the contact points of the two types of reinforcing ribs and the side walls of the auxiliary tank are continuously welded to ensure that the connection has sufficient strength and avoid disbonding or rupture caused by vibration or impact.

[0039] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The application provides an auxiliary oil tank structure for a split type on-load tap changer, which comprises 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 top cover (102) arranged above the oil tank body (101) and fixed by bolts.

[0041] With reference to Figure 1 The oil chamber barrel (3) is arranged inside the auxiliary oil tank (1) and fixed by bolts and the tank top cover (102), and is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the auxiliary oil tank (1); and the pressure release valve (4) is arranged directly above the oil chamber barrel (3). Figure 3 The reinforcing rib (2) comprises a boss reinforcing rib (201), a vertical reinforcing rib (202), a horizontal reinforcing rib (203) and a right-angle seat reinforcing rib (204).

[0042] The boss reinforcing rib (201) is arranged on three side walls of the auxiliary oil tank, and the other side wall of the auxiliary oil tank is connected with the main oil tank without a reinforcing rib structure. The boss reinforcing rib (201) is a hollow structure, and four edges thereof are connected with the auxiliary oil tank by welding and are not communicated with the inside of the auxiliary oil tank, and the external shape of the auxiliary oil tank is changed to increase the strength of the oil tank structure.

[0043] The vertical reinforcing rib (202) and the horizontal reinforcing rib (203) are internal structures of the boss reinforcing rib (201) and are fixed on the auxiliary oil tank (1) by welding. The structure design of the vertical and horizontal reinforcing ribs can resist the side deformation caused by internal pressure and effectively improve the explosion-proof capacity of the oil tank. The horizontal reinforcing rib (203) and the vertical reinforcing rib (202) can support each other, further improve the overall stability of the oil tank structure, resist mechanical impact, thermal expansion and torsional deformation and the like, and prevent local instability.

[0044] In one embodiment, with reference to Figure 3 The boss reinforcing rib (201) comprises three vertical reinforcing ribs (202) arranged at equal distances and three horizontal reinforcing ribs (203) arranged perpendicularly to the vertical reinforcing ribs (202); wherein two horizontal reinforcing ribs arranged near the top and bottom positions of the oil tank are symmetrically arranged about the horizontal reinforcing rib arranged at the middle position and are away from the top and bottom positions by a certain distance.

[0045] In one embodiment, the contact points of the horizontal reinforcing rib (203) and the vertical reinforcing rib (202) with the side wall of the oil tank and the intersection points of the horizontal reinforcing rib (203) and the vertical reinforcing rib (202) are continuously welded, which can ensure that the connection has sufficient strength and avoid disconnection or rupture caused by vibration or impact.

[0046] At the intersection of the horizontal reinforcing ribs (203) and the vertical reinforcing ribs (202), local thickening welding is performed using reinforcing plates or reinforcing blocks to further improve the strength at the intersection and prevent damage caused by stress concentration.

[0047] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the right-angle seat reinforcing ribs (204) are arranged on the outer wall of the auxiliary oil tank, with 4 on each side at equal distances; the two right-angle edges of the right-angle seat reinforcing ribs (204) are welded on the auxiliary oil tank and the boss reinforcing ribs respectively, for simultaneously improving the structural strength of both to resist the stress 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 remaining three sides are all provided with reinforcing rib protection, and all adopt the arrangement mode of three vertical reinforcing ribs (202), three horizontal reinforcing ribs (203), and four right-angle seat reinforcing ribs (204) on the left and right, and the structure is as shown in Figure 5 .

[0049] When an arc fault occurs, the pressure relief valve diaphragm is impacted and opened to release the pressure in the oil chamber barrel. When the arc discharge energy is small, the pressure relief valve can timely release the pressure in the oil chamber barrel to a safe level, however, when the arc discharge energy is large, the bottom of the oil chamber barrel often ruptures 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 structures of the boss reinforcing ribs (201), the vertical reinforcing ribs (202), the horizontal reinforcing ribs (203), and the right-angle seat reinforcing ribs (204) can effectively enhance the tensile strength and bending strength of the auxiliary oil tank, effectively reduce the deformation of the tank shell in an arc fault, and enhance the explosion-proof performance of the auxiliary oil tank. The reinforcing ribs significantly improve the sectional moment of inertia by increasing the effective cross section of the structure, thereby enhancing the anti-deformation ability of the structure, and the arrangement of the horizontal and vertical reinforcing ribs helps the oil tank to resist deformation in different directions at the same time, improving the stability of the overall structure. The presence of the reinforcing ribs changes the force transmission path, making the stress distribution on the oil tank wall more uniform, and the combined arrangement of the horizontal and vertical reinforcing ribs further diversifies the force conduction path, achieving multi-directional stress dispersion and improving the overall strength and safety of the structure.
