Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of transformer detection equipment, and particularly to a spectral gas concentration detection device and a detection method for detecting the concentration of fault gases in a transformer. Background Art

[0002] As a core device in the power system, the operating state of a transformer is directly related to the stability and safety of power supply. Evaluating the working state of a transformer by detecting the concentration of fault gases has become an important means in the industry. The insulating oil inside the transformer is in a stable state during normal operation. However, when faults such as local overheating, partial discharge, and electric arc occur, the insulating oil will decompose, generating characteristic gases such as hydrogen, acetylene, ethylene, and methane. The types and concentrations of these fault gases are closely related to the types and severity of internal faults in the transformer. Spectral gas concentration detection technology has gradually become an important means for detecting transformer fault gases due to its advantages such as high sensitivity, fast response speed, and the ability to simultaneously detect multi-component gases.

[0003] During sampling, existing technologies mostly rely on natural diffusion or simple vacuum degassing methods to promote the precipitation of fault gases in transformer oil. The natural diffusion speed is slow, and it is difficult to quickly obtain a sufficient amount of gas samples; although traditional vacuum degassing devices can reduce the pressure, they cannot actively adjust the degassing space, and the gas precipitation efficiency is limited, resulting in a long detection cycle and the inability to detect early faults in a timely manner.

[0004] At the same time, the sampling probe position of traditional detection devices is fixed and cannot automatically adjust the sampling range according to the change in the oil level inside the conservator or the oil level fluctuation. Especially in a corrugated conservator, when the oil level in the conservator changes and the distribution of fault gases is uneven, it is difficult for a fixed sampling probe to collect representative gas samples, affecting the accuracy of the detection results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems by providing a spectral gas concentration detection device and a detection method for detecting the concentration of fault gases in a transformer. By utilizing the characteristic that the bellows can be compressed to balance the pressure inside the conservator cavity, a negative pressure is actively generated inside the conservator cylinder by compressing the bellows, promoting the rapid escape of fault gases in the transformer oil and efficiently entering the sampling part. Compared with traditional single vacuum degassing or natural diffusion methods, the gas collection efficiency is improved, and the detection cycle is shortened; the position and quantity of the sampling part inserted into the conservator cylinder are automatically adjusted according to the change of the oil storage cavity, and the distance between the light source module and the photodetector is adaptively adjusted to form a spectral reaction zone with an adaptively changing length, enabling the device to adapt to the changes in the gas sample quantity and distribution under different working conditions, ensuring sufficient interaction between light and gas, and improving the detection accuracy, as described in detail below.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A spectral gas concentration detection device for detecting the concentration of fault gases in a transformer provided by the present invention includes a transformer body, an oil conservator barrel, an end cover, and a driving assembly. The oil conservator barrel is communicated with the transformer body. The end cover is installed at one end of the oil conservator barrel. A transmission frame and a bellows are arranged inside the oil conservator barrel. Two ends of the bellows are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the end cover and the transmission frame. The driving assembly is connected to the transmission frame and can drive the transmission frame to drive the bellows to move horizontally, so as to use the active compression of the bellows to create a negative pressure inside the oil conservator barrel. A part of the transmission frame extends out of the oil conservator barrel. An air chamber is arranged above the oil conservator barrel. Inside the air chamber, multiple groups of sampling parts are arranged horizontally and evenly. The sampling parts can penetrate through the top wall of the oil conservator barrel and remain communicated with the oil conservator barrel. A negative pressure generator is arranged outside the air chamber. The negative pressure generator is communicated with the air chamber to generate a negative pressure environment. A light source module that emits a specific wavelength spectrum into the air chamber is fixed on the side of the air chamber away from the end cover. The top end of the outside of the transmission frame extends into the air chamber, and a photodetector that receives the spectral signal after being absorbed by the gas in the air chamber is fixed at the top end of the transmission frame.

[0008] Preferably, an oil storage cavity is formed between the inside of the oil conservator barrel and the transmission frame. The oil storage cavity is used to store transformer oil. Multiple groups of mounting holes corresponding to the sampling parts are arranged at the top of the oil conservator barrel. A fixing hole is arranged at one end of the oil conservator barrel close to the end cover, and the fixing hole is used for the installation and fixation of the end cover on the end face of the oil conservator barrel.

[0009] Preferably, the sampling part includes a sampling cylinder and an oil-repellent breathable membrane. Side holes are provided on the sampling cylinder. The oil-repellent breathable membrane covers the outside of the side holes and only allows gas to pass through and enter the sampling cylinder. The mounting holes are used to accommodate the vertical penetration of the sampling cylinder, and a lower sealing ring that slidably seals and mates with the sampling cylinder is arranged on the top side of the mounting holes.

[0010] Preferably, a guiding hole is provided on the air chamber. A positioning frame with a rectangular frame structure is fixed at the top of the sampling cylinder. A guiding rod that vertically penetrates the guiding hole is fixed at the top of the positioning frame. The guiding hole provides guidance for the vertical sliding of the sampling part. A stop disc is fixed at the top end of the guiding rod. An upper sealing ring that slidably seals and mates with the guiding rod is arranged at the top opening of the guiding hole. An auxiliary spring that keeps the positioning frame and the sampling cylinder pressed downwards is sleeved on the outside of the guiding rod.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission frame includes a piston disc, a support arm, and a return spring. The piston disc is movably arranged in the oil conservator barrel. One end of the bellows is fixed to the movable ring on the end face of the piston disc. The support arm passes through the end cover, and the return spring is sleeved outside the support arm in the oil conservator barrel to provide the elastic force for the piston disc to drive the piston barrel to return. The top end of the support arm is bent upward, and a laterally extending connecting cylinder is fixed to the inner side of the top end of the support arm. A sliding hole is arranged on the end face of the air chamber corresponding to the connecting cylinder. A support rod penetrating into the air chamber along the sliding hole is arranged in the connecting cylinder, and the sliding hole allows the support rod to slide laterally.

[0012] Preferably, the support rod penetrates into the positioning frame to support the sampling cylinder to be taken out of the oil conservator barrel. Both ends of the two support rods are bent downward and connected with support sections. The other end of the support rod is fixed with a disassembly section detachably connected to the connecting cylinder, and the photodetector is fixed to the bottom side of the support section.

[0013] Preferably, an air pressure balance cavity is formed inside the bellows. A breathing port communicating with the air pressure balance cavity is arranged on the end cover. A rotating ear for supporting the rotation of the driving component is fixed on the outer side of the end cover, and fixing bolts for threaded cooperation with the fixing holes are arranged on the outer circumference of the end cover.

[0014] Preferably, the driving component includes a winding drum rotatably arranged in the middle of the rotating ear, and a winding motor is arranged below the winding drum. The winding motor is fixed on the outer side of the rotating ear to drive the winding drum to rotate. A locking ear is fixed in the middle section of the winding drum, and a cable is wound around the outside of the winding drum. The middle section of the cable is fixed in the locking ear, and both ends of the cable penetrate into the bellows and are connected to the piston disc.

[0015] Preferably, a covering part covering the breathing port is arranged on the outer side of the end cover. The covering part includes a cover plate fixed on the outside of the end cover. A filter screen is arranged in the middle of the cover plate, and a spiral skeleton for supporting the filter screen is fixed on the outer side of the cover plate. The negative pressure generator includes a negative pressure pump and an exhaust pipe. The negative pressure pump is used to generate negative pressure in the air chamber, and the exhaust pipe is used to discharge the exhaust gas sucked out by the negative pressure pump.

[0016] The detection method of the detection device includes the following steps:

[0017] a. Start the driving component, drive the winding drum to rotate through the winding motor, drive the piston disc of the transmission frame to move in the oil conservator barrel through the cable, compress the bellows, and then use the active compression of the bellows to initially form a negative pressure environment in the oil storage cavity in the oil conservator barrel, so as to prompt some fault gases in the transformer oil to start to escape;

[0018] b. While the piston disk moves horizontally to create a negative pressure in the oil storage chamber, since the drive frame moves horizontally synchronously with the piston disk, the support section of the drive frame moves synchronously with the piston disk. During the process of the expansion of the volume of the oil storage chamber, the support rod disengages from the positioning frames of multiple groups of sampling parts above, that is, several groups of sampling parts above the oil storage chamber are not supported by the support rod. When the volume of the oil storage chamber changes, the sampling parts at the corresponding positions above synchronously extend into the oil conservator barrel, and automatically follow the movement of the bellows position to realize the action of the sampling cylinder extending into the oil storage chamber;

[0019] c. Start the negative pressure generator, adjust the negative pressure pump to the set negative pressure value to create a negative pressure environment in the air chamber and the sampling part. This negative pressure sucks the fault gas escaping from the oil storage chamber in the oil conservator barrel into the air chamber along the sampling cylinder through the side holes and the oil-repellent and breathable membrane of the sampling cylinder;

[0020] d. Turn on the light source module to emit a specific wavelength spectrum into the air chamber. The spectrum fully interacts with the collected fault gas in the air chamber, and part of the spectrum is absorbed by the gas. The photodetector moves synchronously with the horizontal movement of the drive frame, forming a spectrum reaction area with an adaptively changing length between the photodetector and the light source module. The photodetector receives the spectrum signal after being absorbed by the gas and converts it into an electrical signal. According to the spectrum absorption principle, the concentration value of the fault gas is obtained.

[0021] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. In the present invention, the drive assembly, the drive frame and the negative pressure generator work together. The winding motor in the drive assembly drives the reel to rotate, and drives the piston disk of the drive frame to move in the oil conservator barrel through the cable. By improving the bellows of the traditional corrugated oil conservator, using the characteristic that the bellows can be compressed to balance the pressure inside the oil conservator, a negative pressure is actively formed in the oil conservator barrel through the compression of the bellows. At the same time, the negative pressure pump of the negative pressure generator further strengthens the negative pressure environment in the air chamber and the sampling part. The dual negative pressure effect promotes the rapid escape of the fault gas in the transformer oil and efficiently enters the sampling part. Compared with the traditional single vacuum degassing or natural diffusion method, the gas collection efficiency is improved and the detection cycle is shortened;

[0022] 2. The sampling part adopts a structure of a sampling cylinder with an outer oil-repellent and breathable membrane. The oil-repellent and breathable membrane covers the side holes of the sampling cylinder, allowing only gas to pass through, effectively blocking the entry of transformer oil, ensuring the purity of the collected gas, and avoiding the interference of oil on the detection results;

[0023] 3. While the transmission frame moves horizontally following the piston disc, it not only realizes the function of negative pressure generation, but also drives the photodetector to move synchronously. Cooperating with the support section that bends downward at the end of the support rod, the support section is used to position and support the transmission frames of multiple sampling parts. It can automatically adjust the position and quantity of the sampling parts inserted into the oil conservator cylinder according to the change of the oil storage cavity, and adaptively adjust the distance between the light source module and the photodetector, forming a spectral response area with an adaptively changing length, enabling the device to adapt to the changes in the gas sample quantity and distribution under different working conditions, ensuring sufficient interaction between light and gas, and improving the detection accuracy.

[0024] 4. And multiple sampling parts with their tops extending out of the gas chamber are provided. The position of the top of the sampling part is used as an indication mark for the position of the transformer oil in the oil storage cavity, so that it is easier for transformer maintenance personnel to directly view the surplus and deficit of the transformer oil in the oil conservator cylinder. Compared with the traditional transparent observation window, since the observation window is easily covered by dirt, by having the sampling part also function as an oil level indication mechanism, it is more suitable for outdoor transformers.

The oil conservator barrel 2 and its external accessories are fixed to one side above the transformer body 1 through the oil conservator bracket 16 to ensure that the height of the oil conservator barrel 2 is higher than that of the transformer body 1, so as to ensure that when the volume of the transformer oil changes due to different temperatures, the internal oil pressure can be kept stable through the oil conservator barrel 2. Specifically, when the transformer body 1 is running, the oil temperature expands and contracts with the change of the load. The oil conservator barrel 2 can accommodate the expansion or contraction of the volume of the transformer oil, avoid damage to the transformer body 1 due to pressure changes, and prevent the oil surface from contacting the air frequently, reducing the oxidation and moisture absorption of the oil.

[0053] In addition, high-voltage outgoing terminals 14 and low-voltage outgoing terminals 15 are arranged on the top of the transformer body 1 on both sides. The high-voltage outgoing terminal 14 is connected to the high-voltage winding of the transformer to transmit the high-voltage electric energy after being stepped up or down by the transformer to the transmission line of the external high-voltage power grid. The low-voltage outgoing terminal 15 is connected to the low-voltage winding of the transformer to convert the high-voltage electric energy into low-voltage electric energy after being stepped down by the transformer and access the low-voltage power distribution system to distribute the electric energy to specific loads. A circulation pipe 18 for containing transformer oil is arranged outside the transformer body 1. Heat dissipation fins 17 are arranged outside the circulation pipe 18. A water pump 19 is arranged at the connection between the circulation pipe 18 and the transformer body 1. The water pump 19 is used to circulate the transformer oil in the circulation pipe 18 to form a heat dissipation loop connecting the transformer body 1, so as to utilize the heat dissipation fins 17 to dissipate the working heat of the transformer oil in the circulation pipe 18 to the outside for cooling.

[0054] The present invention also provides a detection method for a spectral gas concentration detection device for detecting the concentration of transformer fault gases, including the following steps:

[0055] a. Start the driving assembly 4, drive the reel 401 to rotate through the winding motor 402, and drive the piston disk 501 of the transmission frame 5 to move in the oil conservator cylinder 2 through the cable 403, so as to compress the corrugated pipe 9. Then, by actively compressing the corrugated pipe 9, a negative pressure environment is initially formed in the oil storage cavity 203 in the oil conservator cylinder 2, prompting some fault gases in the transformer oil to start escaping;

[0056] b. While the piston disk 501 moves horizontally to form a negative pressure in the oil storage cavity 203, since the transmission frame 5 moves horizontally synchronously with the piston disk 501, the support section 505a of the transmission frame 5 moves synchronously with the piston disk 501. During the process of the volume of the oil storage cavity 203 expanding, the support rod 505 is separated from the positioning frames 702 of multiple groups of sampling parts 7 above, that is, several groups of sampling parts 7 above the oil storage cavity 203 are not supported by the support rod 505. When the volume of the oil storage cavity 203 changes, the sampling parts 7 at the corresponding positions above synchronously extend into the oil conservator cylinder 2, and automatically follow the position movement of the corrugated pipe 9 to realize the action of the sampling cylinder 701 extending into the oil storage cavity 203;

[0057] c. Start the negative pressure generator 8, adjust the negative pressure pump 801 to the set negative pressure value, form a negative pressure environment in the gas chamber 6 and the sampling part 7. This negative pressure sucks the fault gases escaping from the oil storage cavity 203 in the oil conservator cylinder 2 into the gas chamber 6 along the sampling cylinder 701 through the side holes 701a and the oil-repellent breathable film 705 of the sampling cylinder 701;

[0058] d. Turn on the light source module 11 and emit a specific wavelength spectrum into the gas chamber 6. The spectrum fully interacts with the detected fault gas in the gas chamber 6, and part of the spectrum is absorbed by the gas. The photodetector 12 moves synchronously with the horizontal movement of the drive frame 5, forming a spectral reaction area with an adaptively changing length between the photodetector 12 and the light source module 11. The photodetector 12 receives the spectral signal after gas absorption and converts it into an electrical signal. According to the spectral absorption principle, the concentration value of the fault gas is obtained.

[0059] In the present invention, by setting the drive assembly 4, the drive frame 5 and the negative pressure generator 8 to work together, the winding motor 402 in the drive assembly 4 drives the reel 401 to rotate, and drives the piston disk 501 of the drive frame 5 to move in the oil conservator barrel 2 through the cable 403. The corrugated pipe 9 of the traditional corrugated oil conservator is improved. Through the characteristic that the corrugated pipe 9 can be compressed to balance the pressure in the internal cavity of the oil conservator, a negative pressure is actively formed in the oil conservator barrel 2 by the compression of the corrugated pipe 9. At the same time, the negative pressure pump 801 of the negative pressure generator 8 further strengthens the negative pressure environment in the gas chamber 6 and the sampling part 7. The dual negative pressure effect promotes the rapid escape of the fault gas in the transformer oil and efficiently enters the sampling part 7. Compared with the traditional single vacuum degassing or natural diffusion method, the gas collection efficiency is improved and the detection cycle is shortened.

[0060] The sampling part 7 adopts a structure of a sampling cylinder 701 with an outer hydrophobic and breathable membrane 705. The hydrophobic and breathable membrane 705 covers the side hole 701a of the sampling cylinder 701, allowing only gas to pass through, effectively blocking the entry of transformer oil, ensuring the purity of the collected gas, and avoiding the interference of oil on the detection results.

[0061] While the drive frame 5 moves horizontally following the piston disk 501, it not only realizes the negative pressure generation function, but also drives the photodetector 12 to move synchronously. Cooperating with the support section 505a with the end of the support rod 505 bent downward, the support section 505a is used to position and support the drive frame 5 of multiple sampling parts 7. The position and quantity of the sampling part 7 extending into the oil conservator barrel 2 can be automatically adjusted according to the change of the oil storage cavity 203, and the distance between the light source module 11 and the photodetector 12 can be adaptively adjusted to form a spectral reaction area with an adaptively changing length, enabling the device to adapt to the changes in the gas sample volume and distribution under different working conditions, ensuring full interaction between light and gas, and improving the detection accuracy.

[0062] And multiple sampling parts 7 with their tops extending out of the gas chamber 6 are provided. The top position of the sampling part 7 is used as an indication mark for the position of the transformer oil in the oil storage cavity 203, so that it is easier for transformer maintenance personnel to directly view the surplus and deficit of the transformer oil in the oil conservator barrel 2. Compared with the traditional transparent observation window, since the observation window is easily covered by dirt, the sampling part 7 has the function of an oil level indication mechanism, making it more suitable for outdoor transformers.

[0063] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims described above.
