TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of power transformers, and particularly relates to an oil-immersed power transformer with high-efficiency heat dissipation. BACKGROUND
[0002] The oil-immersed power transformer is a key equipment in the power grid system. When the transformer is running, the heat generated by the winding is conducted to the transformer tank through the insulating oil, and finally dissipated to the air through the heat dissipation fins on the surface of the tank. The traditional oil-immersed transformer adopts fixed heat dissipation fins and relies on the natural convection of the insulating oil for heat dissipation. The efficiency is low, and especially when the load suddenly increases or the ambient temperature is high, the temperature rise is prone to be too high, which affects the insulation life and operation safety of the transformer.
[0003] To solve the above problems, some improvement schemes are proposed in the prior art. For example, patent CN117877863B discloses an oil-immersed power transformer with high-efficiency heat dissipation, which comprises a tank and an oil pillow. The tank is provided with a winding. The tank is provided with a partition plate. The partition plate divides the tank into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The oil pillow is in communication with the upper cavity. The outer periphery of the tank is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation mechanisms. The heat dissipation mechanism comprises fixed fins and movable fins. The movable fins are movably arranged in the fixed fins. An oil storage cavity is formed between the fixed fins and the movable fins. The oil storage cavity is in communication with the lower cavity. The heat dissipation mechanism further comprises a driving assembly for driving the movable fins to move in the fixed fins. The present application forms a set of heat dissipation system between the upper cavity and the oil pillow, and forms another set of heat dissipation system between the lower cavity and the heat dissipation mechanism. The two sets of heat dissipation systems alternately circulate to cool and dissipate heat for the winding, which can greatly improve the heat dissipation performance of the power transformer.
[0004] Although the scheme has certain effect, it still has obvious deficiencies. First, the driving mechanism has a complex structure, including a piston cylinder, a connecting rod, a rotating wheel and other precise components, which has high manufacturing cost and poor reliability in long-term operation in an oil temperature changing environment, and is inconvenient for fault maintenance. Second, the driving relies on the gasification speed of the liquid, and the response is delayed, so that rapid and accurate temperature regulation cannot be realized. Third, the scheme is completely passive response, lacks active intelligent control ability, and cannot adapt to changes in complex working conditions.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for a high-efficiency heat dissipation transformer with simpler structure, faster response and more intelligent control. SUMMARY

[0009] In one embodiment, an oil inlet is arranged in the middle of the side surface of the oil pillow, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are integrated on the outer wall of the oil pillow, and an oil temperature monitoring module is arranged in the oil pillow.
[0010] In one embodiment, the heat-sensitive driving element is a shape memory alloy spring made of Ti-Ni-Cu ternary memory alloy, the phase transition temperature of the shape memory alloy spring is set to 65-70℃, the shape memory alloy spring is in a contracted state at normal temperature and in an elongated state above the phase transition temperature, the heat-sensitive driving element is arranged between the fixed fin and the movable fin, the state of the heat-sensitive driving element changes with the temperature change of the insulating oil in the oil storage channel, and the heat-sensitive driving element directly drives the movable fin to extend and retract relative to the fixed fin.
[0011] In one of the embodiments, the outer periphery of the partition plate is sleeved with an elastic sealing ring, the elastic sealing ring is in interference fit with the inner wall of the tank, and the elastic sealing ring is made of oil-resistant nitrile rubber.
[0012] In one of the embodiments, the elastic cleaning brush is a nylon brush, the length of the bristles of the nylon brush is adapted to the radial thickness of the winding, and the surface of the bristles is coated with a wear-resistant ceramic coating.
[0013] In one of the embodiments, a plurality of the fixed fins are arranged in parallel and at intervals, ventilation gaps are formed between adjacent fixed fins, and the side walls of the fixed fins are welded and fixed to the outer wall of the tank.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, an auxiliary cooling fan is further included, the auxiliary cooling fan is installed outside the transformer tank and electrically connected with the controller, and the start-stop and rotation speed of the auxiliary cooling fan are controlled by the controller according to the temperature signal.
[0016] In one of the embodiments, the controller is configured to execute the following control logic: When the detected temperature of the insulating oil is lower than a first threshold T1, the electric regulating valve is kept closed, and the auxiliary cooling fan is turned off; When the detected temperature of the insulating oil reaches the first threshold T1 and is lower than a second threshold T2, the electric regulating valve is controlled to open to a first opening degree, and the auxiliary cooling fan is started to run at a low speed; When the detected temperature of the insulating oil reaches or exceeds the second threshold T2, the electric regulating valve is controlled to open to a second opening degree, and the auxiliary cooling fan is controlled to run at a high speed; The first threshold T1 is lower than the second threshold T2, and the first threshold T1 is set to be close to or slightly higher than the starting point of the phase transition temperature of the thermosensitive driving element.
[0017] The present application has the following beneficial effects: I. The heat dissipation efficiency is improved in a step-by-step manner, and the complex working conditions are adapted Three-level heat dissipation system covers the entire temperature range: from the "primary cooling" of the spiral heat dissipation pipe in the oil reservoir, to the "dynamic enhanced heat dissipation" of the adaptive heat dissipation assembly, to the "active auxiliary heat dissipation" triggered by the intelligent control system, forming a progressive heat dissipation chain. For example, the hot oil in the oil reservoir is first rapidly heat-exchanged with the cooling liquid through the spiral pipe, and then returns to the box after preliminary cooling; when the oil temperature rises to the phase change threshold, the shape memory alloy drives the movable fins to extend, which can increase the heat dissipation area; under high temperature conditions, the electric regulating valve is fully opened + the high-speed heat dissipation fan is started, further breaking through the heat dissipation bottleneck, and compared with the traditional fixed heat sink, the overall heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved, effectively solving the temperature rise problem under sudden load increase or high temperature environment.
[0018] Instant response with heat-sensitive drive, no delay adjustment: Ti-Ni-Cu ternary memory alloy spring is used as the heat-sensitive drive element, and the phase change temperature is accurately matched with the normal working threshold of the transformer (65-70℃). Without external power, the movable fins can be driven to extend or retract only by oil temperature change. Compared with the traditional passive heat dissipation scheme relying on connecting rod mechanism, the response speed is greatly improved, avoiding local overheating caused by driving delay and ensuring the temperature stability of the transformer under load fluctuation.
[0019] II. Simplified structure and high reliability, reducing the whole life cycle cost Simple driving structure, reducing failure risk: Abandoning the complex piston cylinder, rotating wheel and other precision components in the prior art, the adaptive heat dissipation assembly only realizes the function through "fixed fins + movable fins + memory alloy spring", reducing the number of components, and the memory alloy material is oil-resistant and aging-resistant, greatly reducing the long-term operation failure rate; At the same time, the oil circuit system composed of the oil outlet pipe, branch oil pipe and one-way valve B has compact structure and anti-backflow function, avoiding oil leakage or circulation disorder, further improving the operation reliability.
[0020] Wear-resistant design prolongs the service life of components: The oil-resistant butadiene rubber sealing ring is used in the partition plate, which has excellent sealing performance and is resistant to oil corrosion, and the service life can be greatly improved; The elastic cleaning brush is made of nylon material and coated with wear-resistant ceramic coating, which not only ensures the cleaning effect on the surface of the winding, but also avoids the rapid wear of the brush, so that it does not need to be replaced frequently, reducing the maintenance frequency and cost.
[0021] III. Intelligent active regulation, realizing fine energy consumption management Gradient control strategy, taking into account heat dissipation and energy saving: the controller realizes three-level regulation according to temperature thresholds (T1 approaches the phase change temperature, and T2 is the safety warning temperature): at low temperature, only passive heat dissipation is relied on, the electric valve and fan are closed, and the energy consumption is reduced to the minimum; at medium temperature, part of the oil circuit + low-speed fan is started, balancing the heat dissipation demand and energy consumption; at high temperature, full load operation is realized, and the safety of the equipment is prioritized. Compared with the traditional scheme of full-load heat dissipation, the auxiliary energy consumption can be greatly reduced, which meets the development trend of green power equipment.
[0022] Multi-dimensional monitoring ensures safe operation: the oil pillow is provided with an oil temperature monitoring module, temperature sensors are arranged in the lower cavity and the oil storage channel, real-time temperature data of key parts are collected and fed back to the controller, and the temperature is monitored in the whole domain; once the temperature is abnormal, the controller can quickly adjust the heat dissipation strategy, even trigger an alarm, provide data support for transformer fault early warning and operation and maintenance, and reduce the risk of insulation aging or burning caused by overheating.
[0023] Four, additional cleaning function, indirectly strengthens the stability of heat dissipation The separation plate can drive the elastic cleaning brush on the inner wall of the annular hole to continuously adhere to the winding surface due to the micro-motion caused by the vibration or thermal expansion and contraction of the transformer, and automatically remove dust, oil stains and other impurities on the winding. This design can avoid the decrease of heat conduction efficiency caused by impurity accumulation without additional power, indirectly ensure the long-term stable heat dissipation of the winding, prolong the service life of the insulation layer, and further improve the overall operation stability of the transformer.
[0024] In summary, through the synergistic design of "passive heat dissipation optimization + self-adaptive adjustment + intelligent active control", the core problems of low heat dissipation efficiency and slow response of traditional oil-immersed transformers are solved, and the structure is simplified, the energy consumption is reduced, and the maintenance is convenient. The oil-immersed power transformer can be widely used in different loads and different environmental temperatures in the power grid system, and has high practical value and wide application prospect.

[0042] Example 2: like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the core of the oil-immersed power transformer with high-efficiency heat dissipation described in this invention lies in its innovative heat dissipation structure and intelligent control system.
[0043] Transformer main structure: The housing 1 houses the windings 2. The key feature is the addition of a vertically sliding partition plate 5 along the inner wall of the housing. This partition plate 5 is sealed to the inner wall of the housing 1 by an oil-resistant nitrile rubber sealing ring, thus dividing the interior of the housing into an independent upper cavity 3 and a lower cavity 4. The partition plate 5 has an annular hole 501 in its center for the windings 2 to pass through. A nylon elastic cleaning brush 502 on the inner wall of the hole remains in contact with the outer wall of the windings. When the transformer vibrates slightly due to electromagnetic force or thermal expansion and contraction, the partition plate 5 moves slightly, causing the cleaning brush 502 to continuously clean the surface of the windings.
[0044] Oil circuit and primary heat dissipation: The oil conservator 7 is fixed above the housing 1 by a support frame 6 and is connected to the upper cavity 3 through two oil pipes 8 with one-way valves A9. The oil conservator 7 integrates a spiral heat dissipation pipe 10, which allows for initial cooling of the hot oil inside the conservator via externally circulating cooling water or coolant. The heat dissipation fins 14 on the outer wall of the oil conservator 7 further enhance heat dissipation.
[0045] Adaptive heat dissipation assembly: This assembly is the main heat dissipation part of the invention. Fixed fins 16 are welded to the outer wall of the housing 1, and an oil storage channel 22 is opened inside them. Movable fins 17 slide inside the fixed fins 16. A thermally sensitive driving element 18 (shape memory alloy spring) is placed between them. When the transformer load increases, the oil temperature in the lower cavity 4 rises, and hot oil enters the oil storage channel 22 through the main oil outlet pipe 19 and the branch oil outlet pipe 20, heating the shape memory alloy spring. When the oil temperature exceeds its phase transition point (e.g., 65°C), the spring extends, pushing the movable fins 17 out, increasing the heat dissipation area. At the same time, hot oil flows in the auxiliary heat dissipation cavity 23, efficiently dissipating heat through the expanded fin assembly. After cooling, the oil flows back to the lower cavity 4 through the main oil inlet pipe 21. One-way valves B on each main pipe ensure one-way circulation of the oil flow.
[0046] Intelligent control system: This system further improves the accuracy of heat dissipation control. The temperature sensor installed in the lower cavity 4 monitors the oil temperature in real time and transmits the signal to the controller 25 (such as a PLC or a dedicated control chip). The controller 25 controls the opening degree of the electric control valve 24 and the rotational speed of the auxiliary cooling fan 26 according to the preset temperature thresholds (such as T1 = 65°C, T2 = 75°C). At low temperatures, the system mainly relies on the passive heat dissipation of the oil conservator and the adaptive components; at medium temperatures, the oil circuit is opened and the low-speed fan is started; at high temperatures, the oil circuit is fully opened and the high-speed fan is started, forming a gradient and intelligent heat dissipation strategy to ensure that the transformer always operates in the optimal temperature range.
[0047] Embodiment 3: The working principle of the high-efficiency heat dissipation oil-immersed power transformer of the present invention is as follows: 1. Hot oil circulation and primary cooling When the transformer operates, the winding generates heat, causing the temperature of the insulating oil to rise.
[0048] The hot oil rises to the oil conservator 7 and exchanges heat with the external cooling medium through the spiral heat dissipation pipe 10 to achieve primary cooling.
[0049] The heat dissipation fins 14 outside the oil conservator further enhance the heat dissipation effect.
[0050] 2. Operation of the adaptive heat dissipation component When the oil temperature rises, the hot oil flows into the oil storage channel 22 in the fixed fins 16 through the outlet oil guiding main pipe 19 and the branch oil guiding pipes 20.
[0051] The thermally sensitive driving element 18 (shape memory alloy spring) expands when heated, pushing the movable fins 17 out to increase the heat dissipation area.
[0052] After the oil temperature drops, the spring contracts, the movable fins retract, and the cooled hot oil flows into the lower cavity 4 through the inlet oil guiding main pipe 21 and the branch oil guiding pipes 20, realizing automatic adjustment of the heat dissipation area.
[0053] 3. Response of the intelligent control system The temperature sensor monitors the oil temperature in real time and transmits the signal to the controller 25.
[0054] The intelligent control system controls in three levels according to the oil temperature: Low temperature stage (oil temperature < T1, such as 65°C): The electric control valve is closed, the cooling fan stops rotating, and mainly relies on the passive heat dissipation of the oil conservator and the adaptive components.
[0055] Medium temperature stage (T1 ≤ oil temperature < T2, such as 65°C - 75°C): The electric control valve is opened to the first opening degree, the cooling fan runs at low speed to enhance heat dissipation.
[0056] High temperature stage (oil temperature ≥ T2, such as ≥ 75℃): the electric regulating valve is fully open and the cooling fan runs at high speed to maximize heat dissipation efficiency.
[0057] The controller 25 achieves precise and proactive heat dissipation control based on a preset temperature threshold.
[0058] 4. Cleaning function During transformer operation, the adaptive heat dissipation component 15 and the partition plate 5 slide along the winding 2, driving the elastic cleaning brush 502 to automatically clean the surface of the winding 2, preventing dust accumulation from affecting heat dissipation.
