This connection method has broad application prospects in transformer monitoring systems.

[0027] Preferably, Figure 2As shown, a glass cover 19 is bonded to the inner side of the observation window 4, and the glass cover 19 is a cylindrical tube structure.

[0028] The observation window 4 is designed as a transparent window for outsiders to observe the oil level. Therefore, the present invention adopts a glass cover 19, which has a cylindrical tube shape. This structure is usually used to provide a clear field of view and protect internal components from interference from the external environment. The cylindrical tube shape can ensure that the light maintains a certain directionality during propagation, reduce scattering and reflection, and thus improve the clarity of observation.

[0029] In the transformer monitoring system, the observation window 4 and the glass cover 19 inside it are used to monitor the status inside the transformer oil cavity. Through the combined design of the window and the glass cover 19, the operation and maintenance personnel can clearly observe the key information such as the oil level, color, bubbles, etc. inside the oil cavity, so as to timely judge the operating status of the transformer and take necessary maintenance measures.

[0030] In summary, the viewing window 4 and the cylindrical tube structure glass cover 19 bonded to the inner side thereof play an important role in providing a clear view and protecting the internal components. This design has a wide range of application prospects in systems that need to monitor or view the internal status.

[0031] Preferably, Figures 1-2 As shown, the upper end of the float connecting rod 3 is also sleeved with a guide member 16, one side of the guide member 16 is provided with an opening, and the inner surface of the shell 12 is provided with a circle of annular grooves corresponding to the position where the guide member 16 is installed, and a second pressure ring is embedded in the annular groove for limiting the upper end of the guide member 16, and the lower end of the guide member 16 contacts and limits the upper end of the glass cover 19.

[0032] The guide member 16 is designed as a kit and is tightly mounted on the upper end of the float connecting rod 3. This design ensures that the float connecting rod 3 can maintain stable guidance when moving or operating, preventing it from deviating from a predetermined track.

[0033] An opening is provided on one side of the guide member 16, and the opening may be used for convenient operation when installing, removing or adjusting the guide member 16. The design of the opening needs to take into account the strength and stability of the guide member 16 to ensure that it will not be damaged by the opening during use.

[0034] On the inner surface of the housing 12, a circle of annular grooves are provided corresponding to the positions of the installation guides 16. The annular grooves are designed to accommodate and fix the second pressing ring, which ensures that the second pressing ring can be stably installed in the housing 12 and plays a limiting role.

[0035] Embedding of the second pressing ring: The second pressing ring is embedded in the annular groove to limit the upper end of the guide member 16. This design can prevent the guide member 16 from exceeding a predetermined range when moving up and down, thereby maintaining the stability and reliability of the entire structure.

[0036] The contact limit between the guide member 16 and the glass cover 19, the lower end of the guide member 16 contacts the upper end of the glass cover 19, and the lower end of the guide member 16 is in close contact with the upper end of the glass cover 19, forming a limiting relationship.

[0038] In summary, the guide member 16 sleeved on the upper end of the float connecting rod 3 and its related structures play an important role in improving structural stability and facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0039] Preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 11 includes a microprocessor, a pressure sensor 7, a position sensor 6, a power module, and a communication module; The output ends of the pressure sensor 7, the position sensor 6 and the power module are connected to the microprocessor, and the output end of the microprocessor is connected to the communication module.

[0040] The circuit board 11 is composed of the following: Microprocessor: The core control unit is responsible for processing data from various sensors, executing preset algorithms or logical judgments, and controlling the communication module for data transmission. The microprocessor has powerful data processing capabilities and can quickly respond to changes in sensors to ensure the real-time and accuracy of data.

[0041] Pressure sensor 7: used to measure the pressure of transformer oil. The pressure sensor 7 converts the sensed pressure into an electrical signal output, which is then received and processed by the microprocessor.

[0042] Position sensor 6: used to monitor the height of the transformer oil level. Position sensor 6 uses a float type to detect the position of the oil level and converts the position information into an electrical signal output.

[0043] Power module: provides stable DC power to the entire circuit board 11. The power module includes components such as rectifiers, filters, and voltage stabilizers to ensure stable operation of the circuit.

[0044] Communication module: responsible for transmitting the data processed by the microprocessor to an external device or data center through a specific communication protocol. In this embodiment, the communication module uses the RS485 communication protocol to transmit data with the repeater. RS485 is a differential communication protocol with the advantages of strong anti-interference ability and long transmission distance.

[0045] The working principle of the present application is as follows: the pressure sensor 7, the position sensor 6, and the temperature and humidity sensor 1 respectively collect the pressure, oil level, temperature and humidity data information of the transformer oil, and convert these data information into electrical signals for output. The microprocessor receives the electrical signals from each sensor and converts them into digital data for processing, and performs data filtering, calibration, calculation and other steps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The processed data is transmitted to the repeater through the communication module using the RS485 protocol. The repeater plays the role of data forwarding and further transmits the received data to the data center or remote monitoring system. The data center or remote monitoring system receives and stores the data from the circuit board 11, and displays the status information of the transformer in real time through charts, alarms and the like. The operation and maintenance personnel can perform timely maintenance and troubleshooting of the transformer based on this information.

[0046] By real-time monitoring of key data such as transformer oil level, pressure, temperature and water content, operation and maintenance personnel can promptly detect abnormal conditions of the transformer and take necessary maintenance measures to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0047] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the buoy 10 includes a red buoy and a blue buoy, and the red buoy is arranged above the blue buoy.

[0048] The present application is a transformer liquid level and status monitoring device that integrates multiple functions, and aims to improve the monitoring capability of the transformer through intuitive and remote real-time monitoring.

[0049] The observation window 4 can visually observe the oil level warning situation. The buoy 10 is composed of a red buoy and a blue buoy, which are designed on the liquid level float 2. The intersection of the red buoy and the blue buoy is set as the highest safety limit or alarm limit of the oil level, which has a clear warning effect. When the oil level rises to the intersection of the blue and red buoys, it means that the oil level has approached or reached the highest safety limit, which should attract the attention of on-site personnel and may trigger the alarm mechanism.

[0050] The blue buoy is used to normally display the height of the oil level. As the oil level rises and falls, the position of the blue buoy will also change accordingly, providing intuitive oil level information to on-site personnel. When the blue buoy moves within the normal range, it means that the transformer oil level is in normal condition.

[0051] The installation method of this device is to replace the original liquid level indicator on the transformer. The original liquid level indicator can only display the oil level height through a float and has a single function. The buoy 10 set in this application can realize real-time monitoring of key data such as the transformer oil level height, pressure, temperature and water content while maintaining the original on-site observation function, so as to detect abnormal conditions of the transformer in time.

[0052] The liquid level float 2 is provided with a position sensor 6, which not only displays the oil level, but also transmits the oil level data remotely. It also integrates key components such as the pressure sensor 7 and the temperature and humidity sensor 1, and can monitor the key data such as the oil level, pressure, temperature and water content of the transformer in real time.

[0053] The buoy 10 device can transmit the collected data to the data center or remote monitoring system in real time through the microprocessor and communication module on the circuit board 11. When abnormal data is detected, the system can automatically trigger the early warning mechanism to remind the operation and maintenance personnel to take timely measures.

[0054] The design of this application takes into account the needs of convenient installation and replacement. It can directly replace the original liquid level indicator on the transformer without large-scale transformation or shutdown of the transformer. This not only reduces installation costs, but also improves work efficiency.

[0055] Preferably, the position sensor 6 is a Hall sensor or a reed switch.

[0056] In this embodiment, the position sensor 6 is designed to adopt a Hall sensor or a reed switch, combined with the induction magnet 5 arranged at the upper center of the float connecting rod 3, to achieve accurate monitoring and alarm functions of the oil level of the transformer.

[0057] Working principle of position sensor 6: Hall sensor: An induction magnet 5 is set at the upper center of the float connecting rod 3. As the oil level rises and falls, the float connecting rod 3 drives the induction magnet 5 to move up and down, thereby changing the relative position of the magnetic field and the Hall sensor. The Hall sensor outputs a corresponding electrical signal according to the change in the intensity of the induced magnetic field, which is used to indicate the height of the oil level.

[0058] Reed switch: An induction magnet 5 is set at the upper center of the float connecting rod 3. As the oil level rises and falls, the induction magnet 5 approaches or moves away from the reed switch, thereby controlling the on and off state of the reed switch. By monitoring the circuit state of the reed switch, the height of the oil level can be determined.

[0059] When the oil level detected by the position sensor 6 reaches or exceeds the preset alarm limit, the alarm logic is triggered. It is suitable for real-time monitoring of the oil level of the transformer.

[0060] In summary, the use of Hall sensor or reed switch as position sensor 6, combined with the induction magnet 5 set on the float connecting rod 3, can realize the accurate monitoring and alarm function of the oil level of the transformer, which has the advantages of high precision, high reliability, easy installation and maintenance, and has broad application prospects in the power system.

[0062] The guide sleeve 13 is provided with an opening in the middle thereof, and is sleeved on the float connecting rod 3. The existence of the opening enables the guide sleeve 13 to be flexibly installed on the float connecting rod 3 without complicated assembly process.

[0063] The guide groove 13-2 is arranged at the inner side of the opening of the guide sleeve 13. The shape and size of the guide groove 13-2 match the guide protrusion on the float connecting rod 3. The main function of the guide groove 13-2 is to guide the movement trajectory of the float connecting rod 3 in the guide sleeve 13, ensuring that the float connecting rod 3 can move stably and smoothly in the guide sleeve 13.

[0064] A plurality of spokes 13-1 are provided extending outward from the opening of the guide sleeve 13. The design of the spokes 13-1 enhances the structural strength of the guide sleeve 13, enabling it to better withstand the force and pressure generated by the movement of the float connecting rod 3. At the same time, the spokes 13-1 also play a role in fixing and supporting the guide sleeve 13, ensuring its stability and reliability during operation.

[0065] A guide protrusion corresponding to the guide groove 13-2 is provided on the float connecting rod 3. The shape, size and position of the guide protrusion match the guide groove 13-2, so that the float connecting rod 3 can be accurately inserted into the opening of the guide sleeve 13 and form a close fit with the guide groove 13-2.

[0066] When the float connecting rod 3 moves in the guide sleeve 13, the guide protrusion will slide in the guide groove 13-2. Due to the close fit between the guide groove 13-2 and the guide protrusion, the movement trajectory of the float connecting rod 3 is strictly limited within the range of the guide groove 13-2, thereby achieving accurate control of the movement direction of the float connecting rod 3.

[0067] This matching relationship between the guide sleeve 13 and the float connecting rod 3 ensures the stability and reliability of the entire system. The close matching between the guide groove 13-2 and the guide protrusion reduces the friction and wear during the movement and prolongs the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the supporting effect of the spokes 13-1 also enhances the structural strength of the guide sleeve 13, enabling it to better withstand various forces and pressures during the working process.

[0068] In summary, the design of the guide sleeve 13 and the float connecting rod 3 makes the whole system more stable and reliable. The close fit between the guide groove 13-2 and the guide protrusion ensures the precise control of the movement direction of the float connecting rod 3, while the supporting effect of the spoke 13-1 enhances the structural strength of the guide sleeve 13. This design not only improves the performance and service life of the equipment, but also reduces the maintenance cost and failure rate.

[0069] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the inner surface of the connector 20 is provided with a circle of annular grooves, in which the first pressure ring 17 is embedded for limiting the lower end of the guide sleeve 13 , and the connector 20 is provided with an annular convex structure inwardly for limiting the upper end of the guide sleeve 13 .

[0070] An annular groove is provided on the inner surface of the connector 20, and the annular groove is specially designed to accommodate and fix the first pressing ring 17. The size and shape of the annular groove match the first pressing ring 17 to ensure that the first pressing ring 17 can be stably embedded therein.

[0071] After the first pressing ring 17 is embedded in the annular groove, it mainly plays the role of limiting the lower end of the guide sleeve 13. Through the pressing of the first pressing ring 17, the guide sleeve 13 will be effectively stopped at a certain position when moving downward. The annular convex structure corresponds to the upper end of the guide sleeve 13. The main function of the annular convex structure is to limit the upward movement range of the guide sleeve 13, so the upper and lower limit positions ensure the fixation of the guide sleeve 13.

[0072] Through the combined effect of the first pressure ring 17 and the annular flange structure, the position of the guide sleeve 13 in the connector 20 is effectively limited and fixed. This design not only improves the stability of the system, but also ensures that the guide sleeve 13 can accurately perform its guiding function.

[0073] In summary, the design of the annular groove of the connector 20, the first pressure ring 17 and the annular convex structure together realizes effective positioning of the upper and lower ends of the guide sleeve 13. This design not only improves the stability and safety of the system, but also ensures the guiding function of the guide sleeve 13.

[0074] Preferably, the liquid level float 2, the float connecting rod 3, the guide sleeve 13, the guide member 16, the first stopper 14, the second stopper 15, and the buoy 10 are all made of plastic.

[0075] Plastic materials have lower density than traditional metal materials. Therefore, components such as the liquid level float 2, the float connecting rod 3, and the guide sleeve 13 made of plastic can significantly reduce the overall weight and achieve lightweight.

[0076] Plastic materials generally have excellent corrosion resistance and can resist corrosion from a variety of chemicals. In a level monitoring system, these components may come into contact with transformer oil or other chemicals, so the corrosion resistance of plastic materials is crucial to ensure the long-term stable operation of the system.

[0077] At the same time, plastic material also has good durability, can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0078] In summary, the use of plastic materials to make components such as the liquid level float 2, the float connecting rod 3, and the guide sleeve 13 can significantly reduce the overall weight of the liquid level monitoring system and achieve a lightweight design. At the same time, the plastic material also has good corrosion resistance and durability, and is suitable for long-term installation in the transformer oil environment. Therefore, in the design of the liquid level monitoring system, the use of plastic materials is a choice with significant advantages.
