Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is a control system for reducing no-load energy consumption of transformers, belonging to the technical field of transformers. Background Technology

[0002] A transformer is a device that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to change AC voltage. When an AC voltage U1 is applied to the primary side of the transformer and the current flowing through the primary winding is I1, this current will generate an alternating magnetic flux in the iron core, causing an electromagnetic connection between the primary and secondary windings. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the alternating magnetic flux passing through these two windings will induce an electromotive force, the magnitude of which is proportional to the number of turns of the working coil in the winding and the maximum value of the main magnetic flux. That is, when the primary voltage is U1 and the number of turns of the primary winding is N1, and the secondary voltage is U2 and the number of turns of the secondary winding is N2, then U1 / U2 = N1 / N2.

[0003] When a transformer is operating, if the primary input voltage remains constant even when the transformer load output is zero, the primary winding will continuously operate, generating no-load heat and consuming unnecessary electrical energy. The more working coil turns in the transformer winding, the more heat is generated. Transformers are typically three-phase, with each phase operating independently and each having a different load. That is, while one phase may be unloaded, the other two phases may not be. Existing transformers cannot achieve individual phase control or regulate no-load energy consumption. Therefore, some people skilled in the art have developed a transformer no-load energy consumption reduction control system to overcome the problems mentioned in the background.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a transformer no-load energy consumption reduction control system includes a transformer and a control circuit. The transformer includes a housing 1, and a winding 10 is provided inside the housing 1. There are three windings 10, which are arranged in a straight line and are connected to each other through an iron core. The winding 10 includes a primary winding 4 and a secondary winding 5, which are composed of coils. The end of the primary winding 4 is connected to a high-voltage neutral point 8, and the end of the secondary winding 5 is connected to a low-voltage neutral point 9. Since the structure and function of the three windings 10 are the same, only one of them will be used as an example below.

[0028] The primary winding 4 has input contacts 6 evenly distributed on its surface, and the secondary winding 5 has output contacts 7 evenly distributed on its surface. The number of input contacts 6 and output contacts 7 are the same and correspond one-to-one. The input contacts 6 divide the number of coil turns in the primary winding 4 equally, and the output contacts 7 divide the number of coil turns in the secondary winding 5 equally.

[0029] The upper surface of the housing 1 is fixed with three primary terminals 2, which are used for wiring the input terminal of the transformer. The upper surface of the housing 1 is also fixed with three secondary terminals 3, which are used for wiring the output terminal of the transformer.

[0030] The input contact 6 is connected to the primary terminal 2 via a cable, and the output contact 7 is connected to the secondary terminal 3 via a cable.

[0031] The control circuit includes a conversion circuit, a switching circuit, and an analog-to-digital circuit. The conversion circuit is located between the input contact 6 and the primary winding 4. The switching circuit is located on the cable between the input contact 6 and the primary terminal 2. The analog-to-digital circuit is located on the surface of the cable between the output contact 7 and the secondary terminal 3.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conversion circuit includes chip U1, which is a microcontroller, model STM32WBA52CGU6. Pin 41 of chip U1 is connected to pin 1 of crystal oscillator Y1 and one end of capacitor C1. Pin 40 of chip U1 is connected to pin 3 of crystal oscillator Y1 and one end of capacitor C2. The other ends of capacitor C1, capacitor C2, and pin 2 of crystal oscillator Y1 are connected to ground. Pin 36 of chip U1 is connected to one end of resistor R1 and one end of capacitor C3. The other end of resistor R1 is connected to a +3.3V power supply, and the other end of capacitor C3 is connected to ground. Pins 6 and 11 of chip U1 are connected to a +3.3V power supply and one end of capacitor C4. The other end of capacitor C4 is connected to ground. Pins 22, 35, and 43 of chip U1 are connected to a +3.3V power supply, and pin 44 of chip U1 is connected to ground.

[0033] The conversion circuit also includes chip U5, which is an optocoupler of model TLP521. Pin 1 of chip U5 is connected to pin 13 of chip U1. Pin 2 of chip U5 is connected to ground. Pin 3 of chip U5 is connected to one end of resistor R4, and the other end of resistor R4 is connected to a +24V power supply. Pin 4 of chip U5 is connected to pin 1 of chip U3, which is a solid-state relay of model SSR-H3200ZF. Pin 2 of chip U3 is connected to ground. Pin 3 of chip U3 is connected to the surface of the primary winding coil. Pin 4 of chip U3 is connected to an input contact. Pin 5 of chip U3 is connected to the surface of the secondary winding coil. Pin 6 of chip U3 is connected to an output contact.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the analog-to-digital circuit includes module U4 and chip U2. Module U4 is an AC current transmitter with model number AC300-420MA. Module U4 has a detection hole on its upper part, through which a cable between the output contact and the secondary terminal passes. Module U4 is used to detect the AC current in the cable between the output contact and the secondary terminal, and then transmit it as a DC signal of 4MA-20MA. Pin 1 of module U4 is connected to a +24V power supply, pins 2 and 4 of module U4 are connected to ground, and pin 3 of module U4 is connected to pin 7 of chip U2.

[0035] The chip U2 is an analog-to-digital converter chip, model TLV1544. Pins 5, 13, 10, and 12 of chip U2 are connected to a +3.3V power supply and one end of capacitor C6. The other end of capacitor C6 is connected to ground. Pin 15 of chip U2 is connected to one end of resistor R3, one end of capacitor C5, and pin 2 of Zener transistor Q1. The other end of resistor R3 is connected to a +3.3V power supply, and the other end of capacitor C5 is connected to ground. Zener transistor Q1 is model SML4728A. Pins 1 and 3 of Zener transistor Q1 are connected to ground. Pins 11 and 14 of chip U2 are connected to ground.

[0036] Pin 3 of chip U2 is connected to pin 1 of chip U1, pin 1 of chip U2 is connected to pin 2 of chip U1, pin 2 of chip U2 is connected to pin 3 of chip U1, and pin 16 of chip U2 is connected to pin 4 of chip U1.

[0037] Module U4 detects the AC current in the cable between the output contact and the secondary terminal, then converts it into a DC signal. This DC signal is input through pins 7, 8, and 9 of chip U2, converted into a digital signal in chip U2, and then input to chip U1 through pins 3, 1, 2, and 16 of chip U2. When the AC current in the cable between a certain output contact and the secondary terminal is zero, i.e., when a certain winding in the transformer is unloaded, chip U3, which connects the lowest input contact and the output contact of that winding, is turned on. At this time, the number of working coil turns in the primary and secondary windings of the transformer is minimized. The head is controlled by the same chip U3, and is simultaneously turned on and off. At this moment, the number of coil turns in the primary winding of the same winding is N1, and the number of coil turns in the secondary winding is N2. Since the input contact divides the number of coil turns in the primary winding equally, and the output contact divides the number of coil turns in the secondary winding equally, the ratio of N1 to N2 is a fixed value. When the transformer input voltage U1 is constant, according to the formula U1 / U2=N1 / N2, the transformer output voltage U2 is also constant. That is, without changing the transformer output voltage, when the output terminal is unloaded, the number of working turns in the transformer is reduced, thus reducing the transformer's energy consumption when unloaded.

[0038] When chip U3 is turned on, pin 2 of chip U3 receives a +24V control power supply. The optocoupler chip U5 connected to chip U3 is also turned on. Pin 13 of chip U1, which is connected to optocoupler chip U5, outputs a high level. Pins 13 to 34 of chip U1 are used to switch the solid-state relays in the conversion circuit on and off, indirectly controlling the corresponding input and output contacts in each winding, and the connection and disconnection between the primary and secondary winding surfaces. Therefore, by switching the corresponding pins between pins 13 and 34 of chip U1 on and off, the number of working turns of the primary and secondary winding coils in the transformer windings can be controlled. Thus, the number of working turns of the coils in the transformer can be controlled according to the magnitude of the transformer output current, effectively reducing the transformer's own energy consumption under no-load or light-load conditions.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the switching circuit includes chip U6, which is an optocoupler of model TLP521. Pin 1 of chip U6 is connected to pin 48 of chip U1, pin 2 of chip U6 is connected to ground, pin 3 of chip U6 is connected to one end of resistor R2, and the other end of resistor R2 is connected to a +24V power supply. Pin 4 of chip U6 is connected to the control terminal of AC contactor KM1. When pin 48 of chip U1 outputs a high level, chip U6 conducts, the control terminal of AC contactor KM1 connects to the +24V power supply, AC contactor KM1 is energized, and the primary winding of the transformer is powered on. When module U4 detects that the AC current in the cable between the output contact and the secondary terminal exceeds the transformer's load capacity, pin 48 of U1 outputs a low level, chip U6 is turned off, the control terminal of AC contactor KM1 disconnects the +24V power supply, AC contactor KM1 is disconnected, and the primary winding of the transformer is de-energized and stops working to prevent transformer overload and damage.
