Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic chemistry and materials, and more specifically, relates to a fluorescent probe for detecting oil leakage from oil pillow capsules, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] An oil conservator bladder is a rubber bag placed inside the transformer oil conservator. The inner layer of the bladder is open to the atmosphere, while the outer layer is in contact with the transformer oil, serving to isolate air from the transformer oil. When the transformer oil heats up and expands, the bladder releases air; when it cools down, the bladder draws in air, automatically balancing the transformer oil pressure. During use, due to aging or other improper operation, the bladder may develop pinholes or even rupture, allowing transformer oil to enter the inner layer and causing transformer malfunction.
[0003] Currently, the main method relies on people directly entering the capsule and wiping it with cotton swabs to check for oil leakage; or installing a camera inside the capsule and using the camera image from the outside to observe for oil leakage. These methods are suitable for cases where there are already obvious oil droplets inside the capsule. However, when the oil leakage inside the capsule is not obvious, or the oil droplets are small, it is not easily observed and cannot provide early warning for leakage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the above or existing technologies, the present invention proposes a fluorescent probe for detecting oil leakage in oil pillow capsules, its preparation method and application. Under light, the leaking area or leaking point will show red fluorescence, which significantly improves sensitivity and detection efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a fluorescent probe for detecting oil leakage from an oil pillow capsule, the probe having the following general structural formula:
[0007] ;
[0008] Where R is a hydrocarbon group or H, X - It is a halide anion.
[0009] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a fluorescent probe for detecting oil leakage from an oil pillow capsule, comprising:
[0010] Add binaphthol dialdehyde, pyridinium salt, and piperidine to the solvent;
[0011] At the solvent boiling point temperature, stir the reaction for 5-24 hours, then evaporate the solvent.
[0012] The target compound was obtained by column chromatography.
[0013] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of the pyridinium salt to the binaphthol dialdehyde is 2 to 3.
[0014] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of piperidine to binaphthol dialdehyde is 0.5 to 2.
[0015] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the solvent is selected from acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, methanol, toluene, or ethanol.
[0016] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the pyridinium salt is an N-alkylpyridinium salt.
[0017] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of a fluorescent probe for detecting oil leakage in oil pillow capsules. The fluorescent probe is dissolved in a solvent to prepare a solution, which is then sprayed inside the capsule. When illuminated with a light source, the point or area where red fluorescence appears is observed with the naked eye, indicating that there is an oil leakage problem at that point or area.
[0018] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the solvent is water, ethanol, or ethyl acetate.
[0019] In a further embodiment of the invention, the concentration of the solution is 1-100 micromoles per liter.
[0020] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the wavelength of the light source is between 300-500 nm.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0022] 1. This invention provides a fluorescent probe. When the solution of the probe is sprayed into the inner layer of a capsule, an alarm is immediately triggered when there is oil leakage inside the capsule, as soon as the capsule shows a slight breakage, thus achieving early warning and improving detection sensitivity. Under light, the oil leakage area or oil leakage point will show red fluorescence, significantly improving sensitivity and inspection efficiency.
[0023] 2. By using a light source to illuminate the area, bright fluorescence can be observed with the naked eye to determine if there is an oil leak, without the need for complicated explanations or experience-based judgments, thus reducing the false alarm rate and the missed alarm rate.
[0024] 3. From the moment oil leaks to the moment the probe contacts and generates a fluorescent signal, immediate detection can be achieved, or the fault detection cycle can be greatly shortened through frequent inspections.
[0025] 4. This invention provides a fluorescent probe that directly corresponds to the specific damaged area on the capsule, providing precise positioning information for subsequent inspection and maintenance.
[0026] 5. The inspection process is usually carried out outside the equipment or through an observation window, without the need for power outages or disassembly of the equipment. Operation is simple; ordinary inspection personnel can complete the task after minimal training, significantly reducing operational risks. Detailed Implementation

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this invention should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," "containing," and similar words used in this disclosure mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the element or object listed following the word and its equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Prepared from" is synonymous with "comprising." For example, a composition, step, method, article, or apparatus comprising the listed elements is not necessarily limited to those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or elements inherent to such a composition, step, method, article, or apparatus.
[0030] The conjunction "composed of..." excludes any unspecified elements, steps, or components. If used in a claim, this phrase makes the claim closed, excluding materials other than those described, except for associated conventional impurities. When the phrase "composed of..." appears in a clause of the body of a claim rather than immediately following it, it limits only the elements described in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.
[0031] When a quantity, concentration, or other value or parameter is expressed as a range, a preferred range, or a range defined by a series of upper and lower preferred values, this should be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed by any pair of any upper or preferred value with any lower or preferred value, regardless of whether the range is disclosed individually. For example, when the range “1–5” is disclosed, the described range should be interpreted as including ranges “1–4”, “1–3”, “1–2”, “1–2 and 4–5”, “1–3 and 5”, etc. When numerical ranges are described herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include its endpoints and all integers and fractions within that range.

[0055] Example 5:
[0056] This embodiment provides the application of a fluorescent probe for detecting oil leakage in oil pillow capsules. The probe I-1-Br is dissolved in 95% ethanol at room temperature to a concentration of 20 μmol / L. The solution is sprayed inside the oil pillow capsule, and the inside of the capsule is irradiated and scanned with a 365nm light source. The area where red fluorescence appears indicates that there is oil leakage in that area.
[0057] This invention provides a fluorescent probe. When the solution of the probe is sprayed into the inner layer of a capsule, an alarm is immediately triggered when there is oil leakage inside the capsule, even at the moment when the capsule shows a minor breakage, thus achieving early warning and improving detection sensitivity. Under light, the oil leakage area or point will show red fluorescence, significantly improving sensitivity and inspection efficiency.
[0058] By illuminating the area with a light source, bright fluorescence can be observed with the naked eye to determine if there is an oil leak, eliminating the need for complex interpretation or experience-based judgment, thus reducing false alarm and false negative rates. The process from oil leakage to the contact probe and the generation of a fluorescent signal can be completed within seconds to minutes. This allows for immediate detection or significantly shortens the fault detection cycle through frequent inspections.
[0059] This invention provides a fluorescent probe that directly targets the specific damaged area on the capsule, providing precise location information for subsequent inspection and maintenance. The inspection process requires no power outage or disassembly of equipment. Operation is simple; ordinary inspection personnel can complete the task after minimal training, significantly reducing operational risks.
