[0002] In the existing technology, although simple lifting equipment has been used to assist in the impregnation of transformer shells, there are still obvious limitations: during the operation, the shell needs to be moved to the vicinity of the impregnation tank by a crane or forklift, and then the lifting device needs to be manually operated to adjust the height and horizontal position of the shell. During the process, the equipment needs to be repeatedly started and stopped to calibrate the alignment. The positioning process alone requires 2-3 people to work together, which takes a long time.

[0017] Embodiments of this application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. Rather, embodiments of this application include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0018] The transformer housing impregnation apparatus of this application embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1-7 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the transformer housing impregnation apparatus is characterized by comprising: The equipment frame 1 consists of a vertical beam 101 and a horizontal beam 102 connecting the vertical beam 101.
[0020] The slide rail component 2 and the linear module 3 are mounted on the crossbeam 102. The linear module 3 includes a drive motor 301, a lead screw bearing 302, a rotating lead screw 303, and a threaded slider that is threadedly connected to the rotating lead screw 303. The threaded slider slides in cooperation with the slide rail component 2.
[0021] The support beam 203 of the slide rail component 2 is fixedly connected to the threaded slider of the linear module 3. The lowering device 4 is installed on the support beam 203, and the transformer frame 5 is suspended from the lowering device 4.
[0022] Below the equipment frame 1 is a paint immersion tank 701 and a paint immersion liquid tank 702, and a connecting pipe is provided between the paint immersion tank 701 and the paint immersion liquid tank 702.
[0023] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the equipment frame 1 is constructed as a three-dimensional frame using multiple vertical beams 101 and horizontal beams 102. Slide rail components 2 and linear modules 3 are installed in parallel on the horizontal beams 102. After the drive motor 301 of the linear module 3 starts, it drives the rotating lead screw 303 to rotate around the lead screw bearing 302. The threaded slider, due to its screw connection to the rotating lead screw 303 and its sliding engagement with the slide rail component 2, moves horizontally along the slide rail direction, thereby causing the fixed support beam 203 to move synchronously. The lowering device 4 below the support beam 203 suspends the transformer frame 5. The impregnation tank 701 at the bottom of the equipment frame 1 is connected to the impregnation liquid tank 702 via a corrosion-resistant connecting pipe. During operation, after the transformer frame 5 carries the transformer shell, the linear module 3 moves it horizontally to directly above the impregnation tank 701. The lowering device 4 drives the transformer frame 5 to descend, immersing the shell in the impregnation liquid within the impregnation tank 701, completing the impregnation operation. The impregnation liquid can be replenished by circulating between the impregnation tank 701 and the liquid tank 702 through the connecting pipe.
[0024] In one embodiment of this application, the slide rail component 2 includes: a slide rail 201 arranged in parallel.
[0025] A slider 202 that slides in conjunction with the slide rail 201. A support beam 203 that connects to the slider 202. The support beam 203 is fixedly connected to the threaded slider of the linear module 3.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the slide rail 201 of the slide rail component 2 consists of two parallel rectangular guide rails, which are fixed to the crossbeam 102 by bolts. The slider 202 is a sliding block nested on the slide rail 201, and its bottom is welded to both ends of the support beam 203. The middle part of the support beam 203 is fixed to the threaded slider of the linear module 3 through a flange. When the rotating screw 303 of the linear module 3 rotates, the threaded slider drives the support beam 203 to slide smoothly along the slide rail 201. With the guiding effect of the slider 202, the horizontal displacement accuracy of the transformer frame 5 is ensured, and the shell displacement is avoided during varnishing.
[0027] In one embodiment of this application, in the linear module 3: The output end of the drive motor 301 is connected to the rotating lead screw 303, which is mounted on the lead screw bearing 302.
[0028] The threaded slider is screwed to the rotating lead screw 303 and slides along the slide rail 2 as the rotating lead screw 303 rotates.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive motor 301 of the linear module 3 is a servo motor, and its output shaft is rigidly connected to one end of the rotating lead screw 303 via a coupling. Both ends of the rotating lead screw 303 are mounted on the lead screw bearing 302 via bearings. The threaded slider has a trapezoidal threaded hole inside that matches the rotating lead screw 303. When the drive motor 301 rotates forward / reverse, the rotating lead screw 303 rotates synchronously, and the threaded slider moves along the lead screw axis. Simultaneously, through cooperation with the slider 202 of the slide rail component 2, it achieves a straight reciprocating motion without deflection, driving the support beam 203 and the lowering device 4 to precise displacement.
[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the lowering device 4 includes: The descending track 401 is installed on the support beam 203.
[0031] The lowering cylinder 402 slides along the lowering track 401, and the telescopic end of the lowering cylinder 402 is connected to the transformer frame 5.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the lowering track 401 of the lowering device 4 is a vertically arranged dovetail guide rail, fixed to the bottom surface of the support beam 203 by bolts. The lowering cylinder 402 is a hydraulic cylinder, its cylinder body is fixed to the slider on the lowering track 401 by bolts, and the extension end of the piston rod is hinged to the upper frame 503 of the transformer frame 5. When the lowering cylinder 402 is filled with oil / returns with oil, the cylinder body slides up and down along the lowering track 401, driving the transformer frame 5 to precisely lift and lower by 0.5-2m with a positioning accuracy of ±0.2mm, realizing the action of immersing or removing the transformer shell from the impregnation tank 701.
[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the transformer frame 5 includes: Base frame 501.
[0034] A connecting bracket 502 is mounted on the base frame 501.
[0035] The upper frame 503 is opposite to the connecting frame 502.
[0036] Connecting rod 504 connecting upper frame 503 and base frame 501.
[0037] The upper frame 503 is connected to the lowering cylinder 402 of the lowering device 4.
[0038] like Figure 5As shown, the base frame 501 of the transformer frame 5 is a rectangular frame used to support the transformer shell. The connecting frame 502 consists of two vertical channel steels, welded and fixed to both sides of the base frame 501. The upper frame 503 is a rectangular plate parallel to the base frame 501, connected to the base frame 501 by four connecting rods 504 and high-strength bolts, forming a stable cubic frame. The top of the upper frame 503 is hinged to the piston rod of the lowering cylinder 402 of the lowering device 4, facilitating fine-tuning of the angle during hoisting. When the lowering cylinder 402 extends or retracts, the entire transformer frame 5 moves up and down accordingly, ensuring that the transformer shell is smoothly immersed in the impregnation tank 701 and avoiding collisions.
[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the impregnation tank 701 is provided with a fixing member for fixing the transformer housing, the fixing member including: Screw seat 601.
[0040] A fixing screw 602 that is threaded into the screw seat 601.
[0041] A hexagonal screw head 603 is provided at one end of the fixed screw 602.
[0042] The fixing head 605 is connected to the other end of the fixing screw 602 via the bearing 604.
[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, among the fixing components in the impregnation tank 701, the screw seat 601 is a steel sleeve with internal threads, welded to the inner wall support of the impregnation tank 701. The fixing screw 602 is a trapezoidal screw, screwed into the internal thread hole of the screw seat 601. The hexagonal screw head 603 is a regular hexagonal prism, integrally formed with one end of the fixing screw 602, facilitating wrench operation. The fixing head 605 is an arc-shaped clamp, connected to the other end of the fixing screw 602 via a deep groove ball bearing 604. When the hexagonal screw head 603 is turned, the fixing screw 602 moves axially along the screw seat 601, while the fixing head 605 only moves translationally due to the constraint of the bearing 604, thereby clamping the bottom or side of the transformer housing and preventing the housing from shaking during impregnation.
[0044] In one embodiment of this application, a connecting pipe is used to connect the impregnation tank 701 and the impregnation liquid tank 702 to realize the transfer of impregnation liquid.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, the connecting pipe is a solvent-resistant fluororubber tube or a stainless steel metal tube, with flange joints at both ends connecting to the outlet / inlet of the impregnation tank 701 and the impregnation solution tank 702, respectively. When the impregnation solution in the impregnation tank 701 is insufficient, the impregnation solution tank 702 supplies liquid to the impregnation tank 701 through the connecting pipe. After the impregnation operation is completed, the liquid in the impregnation tank 701 can be pumped back to the solution tank 702 through the pipe, realizing the recycling of the impregnation solution.
[0046] 1. During the material preparation stage, the operator places the transformer casing to be impregnated onto the base frame 501 of the transformer frame 5. The casing is initially positioned using the connecting frame 502 and connecting rod 504. The bottom of the casing fits snugly against the base frame 501, while the sides are left with a fine-tuning gap from the connecting frame 502. At this time, the impregnation liquid tank 702 delivers impregnation liquid to the impregnation pool 701 through the connecting pipe until the liquid level in the impregnation pool 701 reaches the preset height.
[0047] 2. During the horizontal movement and positioning stage, the drive motor 301 of the linear module 3 is activated, and the motor output drives the rotating lead screw 303 to rotate around the lead screw bearing 302. Since the threaded slider is screwed to the rotating lead screw 303 and fixedly connected to the slider 202 of the slide rail component 2, the threaded slider translates axially along the rotating lead screw 303, while simultaneously driving the support beam 203 to slide smoothly along the slide rail 201. The lowering device 4 below the support beam 203 and the suspended transformer frame 5 move together until the transformer housing is precisely positioned directly above the impregnation tank 701.
[0048] 3. During the descent and impregnation stage, the descent cylinder 402 of the descent device 4 is activated, and the cylinder body slides vertically downward along the descent track 401. Its telescopic end drives the transformer frame 5 to descend synchronously. As the descent process progresses, the transformer shell is gradually immersed in the impregnation liquid in the impregnation tank 701 until the part of the shell to be impregnated is completely submerged. The descent stroke is controlled by a preset program and can be adjusted according to the shell size.
[0049] 4. During the fixing stage of impregnation, after the casing is immersed in the impregnation solution, the operator uses a wrench to turn the hexagonal screw head 603 of the fixing component inside the impregnation tank 701, causing the fixing screw 602 to move axially along the screw seat 601. Since the fixing head 605 is connected to the fixing screw 602 through the bearing 604, the fixing head 605 only moves horizontally and does not rotate, eventually fitting and clamping against the side or bottom of the transformer casing. The clamping force is controlled at 300-800N to avoid casing deformation or shaking and to ensure uniform impregnation.
[0050] 5. During the rising and resetting phase, the varnishing is completed. The varnishing time is set according to process requirements, typically 5-15 minutes. After this, the hexagonal screwdriver 603 is turned in the reverse direction, and the fixing head 605 loosens the housing. The lowering cylinder 402 reverses its movement, causing the transformer frame 5 and the housing to rise along the lowering track 401 until the housing is completely removed from the varnish surface of the varnish-draining tank 701, leaving a gap for varnish removal. Subsequently, the drive motor 301 of the linear module 3 reverses its direction, and the threaded slider drives the support beam 203 and the housing to move back to the initial loading position along the slide rail 201.
[0051] 6. During the paint impregnation solution circulation stage, if the paint level in the impregnation tank 701 drops due to evaporation or loss, the paint impregnation solution tank 702 will automatically replenish the impregnation tank 701 through a connecting pipe. If the impregnation solution needs to be replaced, the waste liquid in the impregnation tank 701 can be pumped back to the liquid tank 702 for centralized treatment through a connecting pipe, realizing the recycling and environmental protection of the impregnation solution.
[0052] The entire working process achieves automation, high precision, and high efficiency in transformer shell impregnation through the stable support of the equipment frame 1, the precise translation of the linear module 3, the controllable lifting and lowering of the descent device 4, the reliable clamping of the fixing parts, and the circulation system of the impregnation liquid.
[0053] In summary, the transformer casing impregnation device of this application improves the efficiency of impregnation operations. Through the coordinated action of each part, it reduces manual intervention and makes the processes of feeding, positioning, impregnation, and resetting smooth, thus shortening the operation time of a single batch.
[0054] It improves the stability of the impregnation process, effectively reduces the shaking of the transformer shell during movement and impregnation, helps ensure the uniformity of impregnation, and reduces the problem of insufficient or excessive impregnation in some areas due to shell displacement.
