Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformers, and in particular to a large water-cooled transformer and a cooling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A transformer is an electrical device used for voltage conversion and is widely used in power systems to transmit and distribute electrical energy. It primarily consists of an iron core and windings and operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Transformers generate significant heat during operation, requiring effective heat dissipation to ensure safe and stable operation. Common oil-immersed transformers are filled with insulating hydraulic oil, which circulates internally, transferring heat generated by the windings and core to external cooling fins. Heat is then dissipated through natural or forced air cooling, thereby achieving temperature control and equipment protection.

[0003] Ordinary transformers generate less heat during operation. The heat is transferred to the cooling fins through hydraulic oil, and the heat dissipation requirements can be met with the help of natural air cooling or forced air cooling. In the existing technology, for large transformers, their load is high and the heat generation is large. The traditional heat dissipation method of hydraulic oil and cooling fins is difficult to quickly and effectively discharge the internal heat. Especially in high temperature environments or continuous heavy load conditions, the heat dissipation efficiency is obviously insufficient, which can easily lead to excessive temperature, thereby affecting the insulation performance, operating stability and service life of the transformer.

[0022] In S2, the composite filter assembly moves down along the outer wall of the cooling tower, and the automatic release assembly supplies high-pressure gas to the composite backflush assembly. The cooling tower stops entering rainwater and cooling air, and the garbage and dust intercepted by the composite backflush assembly are blown away.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. The main structure of the present invention includes a transformer body and a cooling tower, and a composite cooling component is provided inside the cooling tower. The disc pipe arranged at the bottom of the transformer body brings the heat of the hydraulic oil to the spiral tube inside the cooling tower. The composite cooling component is used to spray rainwater onto the outer wall of the spiral tube. When the water contacts the tube wall, a large amount of heat is taken away. The high specific heat capacity of water is used to achieve efficient cooling, which is particularly suitable for rainy seasons or humid environments. It is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. On the other hand, by pumping cold air to the vicinity of the spiral tube, air flow is formed, and surface heat exchange is enhanced. Water cooling and air cooling act on the spiral tube at the same time, forming forced convection and cooling water film to synergize cooling, greatly improving the heat exchange rate, avoiding overheating of the hydraulic oil, and thus ensuring long-term stable operation of the transformer.

[0025] 2. The present invention is provided with a rain collecting hopper on the outer wall of the cooling tower, which guides rainwater into the interior of the cooling tower, and an air intake channel is provided at the bottom of the cooling tower to allow cooling air to enter the interior of the cooling tower, and a composite filter assembly is provided on the outer wall of the cooling tower to prevent garbage in the rainwater or dust in the cooling gas from being introduced into the interior of the cooling tower, thereby preventing these pollutants from entering the interior of the cooling tower and clogging the spray system or adhering to the wall of the heat exchange tube, thereby reducing the cooling efficiency and even causing malfunctions.

[0026] 3. The outer wall of the cooling tower of the present invention is provided with a composite back-flush component. The composite filter component can be moved to the outer wall of the composite back-flush component at regular intervals. The back-flush airflow will automatically blow off pollutants such as dust and leaves accumulated on the surface of the filter screen without manual disassembly or cleaning, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency. Regular automatic cleaning can keep the composite filter component always permeable, avoiding water or air inflow into the cooling tower due to decreased filtering capacity, thereby ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of rainwater utilization and air heat exchange process. The automated cleaning process reduces the frequency of manual maintenance, especially in the operation scenario of large transformers, which can reduce downtime and labor costs.

[0027] 4. One of the composite back-blowing components of the present invention is an air source supply component, and one of the air source supply components is an automatic release component. The air source supply component caches a certain amount of clean gas when the transformer is cooling the entire cooling tower. When the composite filter component moves to the position of the composite back-blowing component, the automatic release component obtains high-pressure air from the air source supply component and provides it to the composite back-blowing component. The air source supply component caches a certain amount of clean gas to avoid the reaction delay that may be caused by temporarily starting the air pump. Once the filter component moves to the back-blowing position, the automatic release component immediately starts high-pressure gas back-blowing to ensure that the dust cleaning action is rapid, the pressure is sufficient, and the cleaning effect is reliable. In addition, the automatic release component adopts a purely mechanical structure and can accurately identify the position and release the high-pressure air source without relying on the electronic control system, avoiding back-blowing failure due to electrical failure, control error or external interference, thereby improving the stability and safety of the overall cooling system. It is particularly suitable for transformer sites that are unattended for a long time under high voltage, outdoor or harsh environments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The water-blocking paper plate 21 is honeycomb-shaped and intercepts the droplets discharged from the top of the gas gathering hopper 9 as much as possible to save water resources. When the bottom of the water-blocking paper plate 21 absorbs enough droplets, the droplets will fall back to the bottom of the cooling tower 11 due to gravity. The direction of the exhaust fan 20 needs to be set appropriately. When the exhaust fan 20 rotates, the air inside the cooling tower 11 will be drawn away from the gas gathering hopper 9.

[0044] A rain collecting hopper 7 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the transformer body 1, and water inlet holes 10 are equidistantly provided on the outer wall of the cooling tower 11 in the inner cavity of the rain collecting hopper 7. Rainwater inside the rain collecting hopper 7 flows into the cooling tower 11 through the water inlet holes 10. A bottom ring 13 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the cooling tower 11 through a docking column 12. There are three docking columns 12 in total. The gap between the top of the bottom ring 13 and the bottom of the cooling tower 11 serves as an air inlet channel for the cooling tower 11.

[0045] A water collecting bucket 14 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the bottom ring 13.

A water supply valve 141 and a liquid level sensor 142 are sequentially provided at the bottom of the side of the water collecting bucket 14. The water supply valve 141 is connected to the city's water supply system. When the liquid level sensor 142 senses that the liquid level inside the water collecting bucket 14 is insufficient, the water supply valve 141 opens to pump water into the water collecting bucket 14 to ensure that there is enough spray water inside the water collecting bucket 14 during the dry season.

[0047] A composite filter assembly is provided on the outer wall of the cooling tower 11, which intercepts garbage in rainwater and dust in the air. The composite filter assembly includes a top sealing ring 23, a top blocking ring 25, a bottom sealing ring 29, a switching cylinder 27, and a horizontal U-rod 26. A sewage hopper 5 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the water collecting hopper 14, and a switching cylinder 27 is fixed vertically inside the sewage hopper 5.

A top sealing ring 23 is fixedly provided on the top of the top blocking ring 25, and the side wall of the top blocking ring 25 is provided with an inclined surface. When the top blocking ring 25 is removed from the inner wall of the rain collecting hopper 7, the setting of the inclined surface makes it convenient for the large garbage intercepted by the inclined surface of the top blocking ring 25 to automatically fall to the top of the sewage hopper 5 due to gravity, thereby avoiding insufficient air pressure of the composite backflush assembly causing large garbage to be trapped on the top of the inclined surface.

[0048] The top retaining ring 25 is provided with water retaining holes 24 at equal intervals on the inclined surface. The water retaining hole 24 includes a water section and an inclined section. The horizontal section of the water retaining hole 24 is aligned and connected with one end of the water inlet hole 10. The top sealing ring 23 is movably inserted into the rain collecting hopper 7.

When the release tube 33 moves up to the extreme position, the release tube 33 is not connected to the release hole 361.

[0052] The specific implementation steps and principles of the present invention are as follows:

[0053] When the entire cooling tower 11 is performing cooling work normally, the bottom pump 6 starts to circulate the cooling water inside the S-shaped tube 3 and the spiral tube 19. The cooling water flows through the S-shaped tube 3 and exchanges heat with the transformer oil inside the heat exchange chamber 2. The cooling water carries the heat to the spiral tube 19 inside the cooling tower 11. Rainwater enters the water collecting hopper 14 through the rain collecting hopper 7 and the water inlet 10. Garbage is intercepted by the water blocking hole 24 and the water inlet 10. The ash blocking hole 291 is located on the outer wall of the gap between the bottom of the cooling tower 11 and the top of the bottom ring 13, intercepting the dust carried by the air entering the cooling tower 11.

[0054] The circulating water pump 16 pumps clean rainwater to the spray ring 22 through the vertical pipe 18, and the spray ring 22 sprays it to the outer wall of the spiral tube 19 through the spray pipe 221. At the same time, the exhaust fan 20 arranged on the top of the air gathering hopper 9 draws cold air into the interior of the cooling tower 11 from the gap between the bottom of the cooling tower 11 and the top of the bottom ring 13, and discharges it from the top of the air gathering hopper 9. The buffer air pump 30 obtains clean air from the inside of the cooling tower 11. At this time, the top of the release pipe 33 is closed by the top of the fixed cylinder 36, and the air supply hose 34 is not connected to the air storage ball 32.

[0055] When the switching cylinder 27 is started, the switching cylinder 27 retracts, the top sealing ring 23 moves down to close the water inlet 10, and the bottom sealing ring 29 moves to the gap between the bottom of the cooling tower 11 and the top of the bottom ring 13. At the same time, the top blocking ring 25 moves down to the bottom of the rain collecting hopper 7, and the first backflush ring 351 is on the inner wall of the top blocking ring 25, and the second backflush ring 352 is on the inner wall of the ash blocking hole 291 set in the bottom sealing ring 29. At this time, the release pipe 33 is driven by the driven column 28 to move down to a certain position. At this time, the internal gas of the storage ball 32 supplies high-pressure gas to the first backflush ring 351 and the second backflush ring 352 through the release hole 361, the release pipe 33, the air supply hose 34, and the common pipe 35, to backflush the ash blocking hole 291 and the water blocking hole 24.
