AI Technical Summary
Conventional dry-type transformers lack sufficient energy dissipation capacity under earthquakes or short-circuit electrodynamic impacts, leading to core loosening, winding displacement, and insulation damage. Furthermore, existing vibration damping systems are difficult to design to balance stability under heavy loads and high temperatures.
The system employs a combination structure of PCM heat absorption components, rack, drive shaft, gear set, and buffer rod. The stiffness of the buffer rod is adjusted by driving the slider displacement through temperature changes. Combined with throttling orifice and valve plate assembly, it achieves low-damping rapid energy absorption and high-damping slow reset. In conjunction with the fan cooling system, it optimizes airflow speed and achieves enhanced passive heat dissipation.
It effectively suppresses large swaying of transformers under heavy load or earthquakes, protects windings from instantaneous impact damage, balances vibration isolation performance and anti-sway stability, and enhances the cooling effect of windings.

Description

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0033] Example: Figure 1 - Figure 8 The illustrated shockproof dry-type transformer includes a transformer body 10. Fans 11 are installed on both sides of the transformer body 10 for forced cooling of the windings and core. A metal base plate 12 is installed at the bottom of the transformer body 10, serving both structural support and heat conduction functions. A buffer seat 20 is movably fitted onto the side of the base plate 12 facing away from the transformer body 10, with a vertical gap maintained between the base plate 12 and the buffer seat 20 to allow for slight displacement of the base plate 12 under impact. At least two buffer frames 21 are fixedly installed inside the buffer seat 20; preferably, the number of buffer frames 21 is two to four, with adjacent buffer frames 21... A PCM heat absorption assembly 30 is fixedly installed on the base plate 12. The PCM heat absorption assembly 30 has an expansion end and also includes: a buffer rod 22, one end of which is hinged to a buffer frame 21, and a slider 23 is rotatably installed on the other end of the buffer rod 22. The slider 23 is threaded onto the buffer frame 21; a drive shaft 40 is rotatably installed in the buffer seat 20, and a first gear 41 and a second gear 42 are installed on the drive shaft 40. A rack 31 that meshes with the first gear 41 is fixedly installed on the expansion end of the PCM heat absorption assembly 30, and a third gear 24 that meshes with the second gear 42 is installed on the buffer frame 21.
[0034] Under normal temperature and light load conditions, the transformer body 10 has a low load and a small winding temperature rise. The PCM heat absorption component 30 is in a solid state with stable volume. The rack 31 is fixed in position, the drive shaft 40 is stationary, the slider 23 maintains its initial position, and the overall stiffness of the buffer rod 22 is low, effectively isolating high-frequency vibrations from the ground. When the load suddenly increases or the ambient temperature rises, the heat from the winding is conducted to the base plate 12, the temperature of the PCM heat absorption component 30 rises, the phase change material melts and expands in volume, driving the rack 31 to move downward and drive the first gear 41 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the second gear 42 and the third gear 24 to rotate through the drive shaft 40, thereby changing the position of the slider 23 on the buffer frame 21. The displacement of the slider 23 forces the lower fulcrum of the buffer rod 22 to retract, and the equivalent stiffness of the system automatically increases, suppressing large swaying caused by thermal expansion or external disturbances.
[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 - Figure 8, buffer rod 22 includes cylinder 221, cylinder 221 is slidingly connected with piston rod 222, one end of piston rod 222 extends out of cylinder 221 and is hinged with sliding block 23 to adapt to the change of installation angle and thermal deformation deflection, the other end of piston rod 222 is connected with sealing plug 223, sealing plug 223 is provided with sealing ring on the outer periphery, and is tightly combined with the inner wall of cylinder 221, so as to separate the inner cavity of cylinder 221 into rod cavity and rodless cavity, in particular, throttle hole 224 is formed in the inside of sealing plug 223, throttle hole 224 penetrates sealing plug 223 along the axial direction of piston rod 222, and valve plate group 225 is arranged on the hole wall of one side of throttle hole 224, valve plate group 225 is formed by a plurality of layers of elastic metal sheets, is fixed at one end in sealing plug 223, and can be opened and closed freely at the other end with the oil pressure difference, when the bottom plate 12 of transformer body 10 is pressed down due to impact, piston rod 222 is quickly compressed into cylinder 221, the oil pressure of rodless cavity is raised, valve plate group 225 is pushed to bend outward and open, hydraulic oil quickly flows into rod cavity through throttle hole 224 and the gap between valve plates, so as to realize low damping and rapid compression, when the impact ends and the system rebounds, piston rod 222 tries to extend outward after the external load is released, at this time, the oil pressure of rod cavity is raised, valve plate group 225 is forced to tightly contact the end face of throttle hole 224, the main flow path is closed, and hydraulic oil can only slowly return through the small channel of throttle hole 224, so as to generate high damping and slow rebound effect, effectively inhibit residual oscillation, further, limit plate 227 is fixedly installed on the hinged end of piston rod 222 and sliding block 23, first spring 226 is sleeved on piston rod 222, and the two ends of first spring 226 are respectively in contact with cylinder 221 and limit plate 227.
[0036] The inside of cylinder 221 is also filled with high viscosity index anti-wear hydraulic oil, and is provided with a compensation cavity for balancing the volume change caused by the movement of piston rod 222, so as to maintain the stability of system pressure.
[0037] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 - Figure 6 , PCM heat absorption assembly 30 includes sealed shell 32, which is a hollow metal cavity with one end open, sealed shell 32 is filled with phase change material core 33, such as paraffin, one side of sealed shell 32 is slidingly connected with expansion end cover 34, expansion end cover 34 is provided with a sealing ring on the outer edge, and forms a dynamic sealing cooperation with the inner wall of sealed shell 32, so as to ensure that the phase change material does not leak during repeated expansion and contraction, rack 31 is fixedly connected with expansion end cover 34 and moves axially synchronously.
[0038] To further improve the motion stability and reset reliability, the two sides of the expansion end cover 34 are fixedly installed with limit blocks 35, and correspondingly, the bottom plate 12 is fixedly installed with guide rods 13, the limit blocks 35 are slidingly connected to the guide rods 13, so as to constrain the expansion end cover 34 to move linearly in the vertical direction only, prevent deflection or jamming, the guide rods 13 are sleeved with second springs 36, and the two ends of the second springs 36 are fixed to the limit blocks 35 and the side wall of the bottom plate 12 respectively.
[0039] When the PCM heat absorption assembly 30 is heated and expanded, the expansion end cover 34 moves downward against the elastic force of the second spring 36; when the temperature drops and the phase change material solidifies and shrinks, the second spring 36 provides a reset force to push the expansion end cover 34 back to the original position.
[0040] In addition, in order to balance the efficient heat conduction and electrical insulation safety, a heat-conducting insulation layer 37 is arranged between the sealed shell 32 and the bottom plate 12, and the heat-conducting insulation layer 37 can be a ceramic-filled silica gel gasket, a mica plate or other high-heat-conducting insulation grease.
[0041] During the operation of the transformer body 10, the heat generated by the winding is conducted to the PCM heat absorption assembly 30 through the bottom plate 12. When the temperature rises to the phase change point, the phase change material core 33 absorbs heat and melts and expands in volume, pushing the expansion end cover 34 to move downward along the guide rod 13, driving the rack 31 to drive the gear transmission mechanism, and then adjusting the support angle of the buffer rod 22; when the load decreases and the temperature drops, the second spring 36 assists the expansion end cover 34 to reset, and the system returns to the initial flexible state, and the whole process does not require external energy, realizing heat-driven, self-adaptive and reversible cycle response.
[0042] Referring to Figure 4 The buffer frame 21 includes mounting seats 211 and connecting arms 212, the mounting seats 211 are fixed to the opposite surfaces of the bottom plate 12 and the buffer seat 20 respectively, the two ends of the connecting arms 212 are hinged to the mounting seats 211 on the two sides, allowing a small angle deflection during the force process to adapt to the relative movement caused by the thermal expansion of the transformer body 10 or the earthquake displacement, and the connecting arms 212 and the buffer rod 22 form an X-shaped support structure.
[0043] Further, a lead screw 213 is rotatably installed in the mounting seat 211 on the buffer seat 20, and a sliding block 23 is threadedly installed on the lead screw 213, so that when the lead screw 213 rotates, the sliding block 23 moves linearly along the axial direction.
[0044] In addition, the side wall of the buffer seat 20 is provided with an air inlet 25, and further, a wind collecting hood is installed outside the fan 11, and a flexible air pipe is connected between the wind collecting hood and the buffer seat 20 for introducing cooling air, and the bottom plate 12 is provided with an air outlet 121, so that the airflow passes through the core window and the winding air duct from bottom to top, and further, the two sides of the bottom plate 12 are fixedly installed with baffles 14, and the baffles 14 are provided with through grooves 141.
[0045] In the normal temperature and light load state, the natural heat exchange is realized through the air inlet 25 and the air outlet 121. When the load suddenly increases or the ambient temperature rises, the through groove 141 on the baffle 14 overlaps the air inlet 25 due to the movement of the slider 23 to change the position of the bottom plate 12. Under the premise that the air volume of the fan 11 is basically unchanged, the cooling airflow speed is improved, and the heat exchange at the bottom of the winding is strengthened.
[0046] Working principle: In the normal temperature or light load working condition, the winding generates small heat, the PCM heat absorption assembly 30 is in a solid state, the volume is stable, the rack 31 position is fixed, and the transmission shaft 40 and the slider 23 remain in the initial state. At this time, the buffer rod 22 and the connecting arm 212 form a larger X-shaped support with an angle, the overall stiffness of the system is low, the ground high-frequency vibration is effectively isolated, the cooling airflow enters smoothly through the air inlet 25 and the through groove 141 on the baffle 14, and natural heat exchange is realized.
[0047] When the load suddenly increases or the ambient temperature rises, the winding heat is conducted to the PCM heat absorption assembly 30 through the bottom plate 12, the phase change material core 33 absorbs heat and expands in volume, the expansion end cover 34 is driven to move downward along the guide rod 13, and the rack 31 is driven to move. The first gear 41 is driven to rotate, the second gear 42 and the third gear 24 are linked through the transmission shaft 40, and finally the lead screw 213 is rotated, the slider 23 is driven to move inward along the axial direction, and the displacement of the slider 23 forces the lower support of the buffer rod 22 to move closer to the center, so that the angle between the buffer rod 22 and the connecting arm 212 is reduced, and the equivalent stiffness of the system is automatically increased, thereby effectively suppressing the large shaking caused by thermal expansion, electromagnetic force or earthquake disturbance. At the same time, the valve plate group 225 in the buffer rod 22 and the throttle hole 224 cooperate to realize the asymmetric damping characteristics of fast compression and slow rebound, quickly absorb impact energy and suppress residual oscillation.
[0048] At the same time, the bottom plate 12 sinks slightly due to the change of the support angle, drives the baffle 14 to move synchronously, and makes the through groove 141 on the baffle 14 form a smaller effective flow cross section with the air inlet 25 on the sidewall of the buffer seat 20. Under the premise that the air volume of the fan 11 is basically constant, according to the principle of fluid continuity, the cooling airflow speed is significantly improved, the convective heat exchange of the key area at the bottom of the winding is strengthened, and the temperature rise rate is delayed.
[0049] When the load decreases and the temperature falls, the PCM solidifies and shrinks, the second spring 36 provides a restoring force to push the expansion end cover 34 and the rack 31 back to the original position, the slider 23 moves reversely, the system returns to the initial flexible state, and the complete closed-loop response is completed.
