Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil conservators, and in particular to a transformer oil level compensating cooler. Background Art

[0002] The oil conservator, commonly known as the oil pillow, is a cylindrical container placed horizontally above the oil tank and connected to the transformer's oil tank by a pipe. When the transformer oil expands with heat, the oil flows from the tank to the conservator. When the transformer oil contracts with heat, the oil flows from the conservator to the tank.

[0003] In actual use, traditional capsule-type oil conservators and metal corrugated oil conservators are unable to dissipate heat for transformer oil. Transformer heat dissipation is limited to the radiator fins. Moreover, since traditional oil conservators are connected to the transformer oil tank by only one connecting pipe, similar problems such as incomplete circulation of hot and cold oil may occur. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem of transformer oil heat dissipation in the prior art, the present invention proposes a transformer oil level compensating cooler, which can utilize the principle of liquid heat exchange. The transformer oil level compensator is designed with upper and lower oil collecting boxes, and the oil inlet pipe and the oil outlet pipe are independent pipelines, which optimizes the traditional oil storage cabinet that has only one connecting pipe connected to the transformer oil tank.

[0005] A transformer oil level compensation cooler includes a lower oil collecting box and an upper oil collecting box. The upper oil collecting box is provided with an oil inlet pipe on a side surface close to the center of the transformer, and the lower oil collecting box is provided with an oil outlet pipe on a side surface away from the center of the transformer. A bellows is provided between the lower oil collecting box and the upper oil collecting box. The bottom of the lower oil collecting box is fixedly connected to a support rod, and the bottom of the support rod is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transformer.

[0006] Furthermore, the oil inlet pipe and the upper oil collecting box, the bellows, the lower oil collecting box and the oil outlet pipe are interconnected. When insulating oil needs to enter the transformer, it can enter the upper oil collecting box through the oil inlet pipe, then pass through the bellows and the lower oil collecting box, and finally return to the inside of the transformer through the oil outlet pipe. The interconnected structure ensures that the oil flows smoothly between the various components, thereby effectively realizing the functions of circulating cooling and oil level compensation of the transformer oil.

[0007] Furthermore, a conduit 1 is passed through the surface of the oil inlet pipe on one side away from the upper oil collecting box and is fixedly connected thereto. The conduit 1 is passed through the surface of the oil inlet pipe on one side away from the upper oil collecting box and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transformer, and is connected between the top of the transformer and the oil inlet pipe. The conduit 1 realizes the oil circulation at the top of the transformer, ensuring that the top of the transformer can also participate in the oil circulation process, thereby improving the oil circulation efficiency inside the entire transformer, and further realizing the uniform distribution of oil temperature and the balance of oil level.

[0008] Furthermore, a second conduit is passed through the surface of the oil outlet pipe on one side away from the lower oil collecting box and is fixedly connected thereto. The second conduit is passed through the surface of the oil outlet pipe on one side away from the lower oil collecting box and is fixedly connected to the side of the transformer. Oil circulation on the side of the transformer is achieved through the second conduit, which can help ensure that different parts of the transformer can participate in the oil circulation, thereby effectively improving the oil circulation efficiency and promoting the uniform distribution of oil temperature and the balance of oil level inside the transformer.

[0009] Furthermore, the bellows are provided in eight groups, each group having three bellows. By increasing the flexibility and efficiency of the oil circulation system, the paths and channels of oil circulation can be increased, thereby improving the flow rate and circulation efficiency of the oil in the bellows. The heat exchange surface area between the oil and the external environment can also be increased, thereby promoting the cooling effect of the transformer oil and ensuring the stability and reliability of the transformer during operation.

[0010] Furthermore, the overall shape of the support rod is Y-shaped and is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in a humid or corrosive environment without rusting or corroding, thereby extending the service life of the support rod. The Y-shape can provide good support effect, durability and aesthetics.

[0011] The difference from the prior art is that the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0012] (1) The transformer oil level compensator cooler participates in the oil level compensation work simultaneously through multiple stainless steel bellows. The hollow area can assist the transformer in heat dissipation under natural environment. The transformer oil level compensator is designed with upper and lower oil collecting boxes based on the principle of liquid heat exchange to achieve the effect of independent oil inlet and outlet pipes to prevent incomplete circulation of hot and cold oil.

[0028] During use, the upper oil collecting box 600 and the lower oil collecting box 800 are connected by multiple metal bellows 700. When the oil level in the transformer's main oil tank fluctuates due to temperature changes, the multiple metal bellows 700 can move up and down to accommodate the change in transformer oil volume.
