Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformers, in particular to an explosion-proof device for an oil-immersed transformer. Background Art

[0002] Oil-immersed transformers use oil as their primary insulation and cooling mechanism. Their main components include the iron core, windings, oil tank, oil pillow, and breather. The iron core is a core-type structure with internal oil channels for easy oil circulation. The windings are key components in the transformer's electrical energy transmission. The oil tank holds the transformer oil and other components, and the oil pillow cushions the oil's thermal expansion and contraction.

[0003] Although oil-immersed transformers can facilitate insulation and heat dissipation through transformer oil, they inevitably still have shortcomings in actual use. The device lacks an explosion-proof mechanism, which causes the device to be affected by lightning overvoltage, operational overvoltage, overload, aging of the insulation layer, moisture in the transformer oil or acid decomposition of the oil, resulting in a decrease in insulation level. Once the insulation layer breaks down, phase-to-phase or turn-to-turn short circuits or grounding will occur inside the transformer, causing arcing. The arc decomposes the transformer oil to produce a large amount of gas, and the oil temperature and pressure suddenly increase, which may cause fire and explosion.

As a detailed explanation: a plurality of spray holes are provided on the surface of the oil injection pipe 907.

[0035] The specific steps to enable it are as follows:

[0036] Connect the on-site circulating water to the heat exchange coil 12 in advance;

[0037] After the pressure sensor 10 detects that the pressure inside the transformer body 1 exceeds a preset value, it sends a signal to the central processing unit 11. The central processing unit 11 controls the oil delivery pump 4, the delivery pump 701, and the drive motor 705 to automatically start. The oil delivery pump 4 starts to pump the transformer oil inside the transformer body 1 into the transfer tank 2 through the oil inlet pipe 5. After some transformer oil is transferred to the transfer tank 2, the pressure inside the transformer body 1 is promptly reduced. After the transfer tank 2 is filled with transformer oil, the transformer oil is returned to the interior of the transformer body 1 through the oil outlet pipe 6.

[0038] When the delivery pump 701 is started, the nitrogen gas stored in the gas tank 703 is delivered to the interior of the transfer cylinder 3 through the air inlet pipe 704 and the annular pipe 702. The driving motor 705 is started to drive the stirring shaft 706 and the stirring blade 707 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring blade 707 stirs the transformer oil and nitrogen mixture and delivers them together to the interior of the transformer body 1, thereby isolating oxygen, suppressing the hidden dangers of fire and explosion, and suppressing the thermal cracking of the transformer. In addition, during the process of flushing the transformer oil with nitrogen, the circulating water flowing inside the heat exchange coil 12 is simultaneously used to cool the oil temperature.

[0039] During the process of the transformer oil in the transformer body 1 entering the transfer box 2, the transformer oil first enters the filter element 801 and is filtered from the inside to the outside through the filter holes on the surface of the filter element 801. When the synchronous drive motor 705 drives the stirring shaft 706 to rotate, the stirring shaft 706 drives the filter element 801 to rotate through the transmission cooperation of the pulley 806 and the belt 807. The filter element 801 rotates and its inner wall is scraped by the vertical cleaning scraper 805, so that impurities adhering to the inner wall of the filter element 801 are promptly removed.

[0040] When the filter element 801 rotates, the third gear 905 is driven to engage with the second gear 904, prompting the second gear 904 to drive the right rotating shaft 902 and the first gear 903 to rotate. The first gear 903 on the right is synchronously engaged with the first gear 903 on the left, thereby prompting the oil suction pipe 906 to introduce the transformer oil inside the transfer box 2 into the oil delivery box 901. The oil is then pressurized and transported through the engagement of the two first gears 903, prompting the oil injection pipe 907 to spray the transformer oil inside the oil delivery box 901 onto the surface of the filter element 801, and then backflushing the filter holes of the filter element 801 from the outside to the inside, prompting the impurities inside the filter holes of the filter element 801 to return to the inside of the filter element 801.
