TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of converter transformers, in particular to a pre-aging device for oil-paper AC / DC voltage breakdown test of a converter transformer. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an efficient and reliable power transmission method, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology has been widely used in power systems. Converter transformers, as the core equipment connecting AC and DC systems, bear the key functions of power conversion, electrical isolation and voltage regulation. In the ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission project, due to long transmission distance and complex environment, converter transformers and their oil-paper insulation systems are subjected to extreme electrical and thermal stresses in AC / DC systems. A deep understanding of the performance of oil-paper insulation can help design more durable insulation systems, slow down the aging process, prevent early damage due to degradation of insulation performance, and thus prolong the service life of converter transformers and related power equipment.
[0003] Currently, when using the laboratory pre-aging device for oil-paper insulation of a converter transformer, the following problems exist:
[0004] 1. The pre-aging device usually uses a single thermal aging method, i.e., the oil-paper sample is placed in an oven for static heating, ignoring the fact that the winding and insulation structure of the transformer are subjected to continuous mechanical vibration caused by electromagnetic force during actual operation. The aging mode of thermal and vibration stresses is disconnected, resulting in a large deviation between the aging mechanism in the laboratory and the degradation mechanism of the insulation material in the real equipment. The performance test results after pre-aging cannot truly reflect the long-term operation reliability of the oil-paper insulation.
[0005] 2. Some pre-aging devices attempt to simply mechanically superimpose a vibration table, but the strong excitation of the vibration table will be transmitted to the entire oven structure and the internal oil box through rigid connection, causing uncontrollable structural resonance, which cannot guarantee the consistency of long-term test conditions and data repeatability, and may even cause equipment damage due to resonance.

[0046] Reference Figures 1-7The present invention discloses a pre-aging device for AC / DC voltage breakdown test of converter transformer oil paper, comprising: a high-temperature oven 1, and a bearing seat 2 provided on the bottom wall of the high-temperature oven 1;
[0047] The box 11 is used to hold insulating oil. The box 11 can be detachably installed in the support base 2. The inner wall of the box 11 is provided with multiple partitions 12. The partitions 12 are spaced apart from the bottom wall of the box 11 to form a bottom connecting space. The top edge of the partition 12 is coplanar with the top edge of the box 11. The top of the box 11 is provided with a sealing cover 13. The bottom of the sealing cover 13 is provided with multiple sealing lips. The sealing lips of the sealing cover 13 match the port of the box 11. The top of the sealing cover 13 is provided with an I-beam frame 14. Multiple uprights 15 are provided between the I-beam frame 14 and the sealing cover 13.
[0048] To enable the sealing cover 13 to perform opening or closing actions, in this embodiment: a driving assembly is installed inside the high-temperature oven 1. The driving assembly includes an electric push rod 21, which is mounted on the top wall of the high-temperature oven 1 via a mounting base. The output shaft end of the electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the I-frame 14 via fasteners. A U-shaped frame 22 is provided on the top wall of the high-temperature oven 1. Two limiting rods 23 are slidably installed through the horizontal section of the U-shaped frame 22. The bottom end of the limiting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the I-frame 14. A bushing 24 is provided in the through hole of the horizontal section of the U-shaped frame 22, and the bushing 24 is slidably sleeved with the limiting rod 23.
[0049] To achieve continuous mechanical vibration of the oil paper in insulating oil and simulate the electromagnetic vibration stress during transformer operation, in this embodiment: a vibrating clamp is used to hold the oil paper. The vibrating clamp includes a horizontal plate 31. Multiple support plates 32 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the horizontal plate 31 through a rod. The rod at the bottom end of the horizontal plate 31 is slidably connected to the sealing cover 13. A sealing sleeve is provided in the through hole of the sealing cover 13. Two electric grippers 33 for holding the oil paper are provided at the bottom end of the support plate 32. A vibrator 34 is provided at the top end of the horizontal plate 31.
[0050] In order to achieve rigid support and flexible vibration isolation of the I-beam frame 14 and the horizontal plate 31, in this embodiment: the vibration isolation component and the vibrating clamp are connected to the bottom end of the I-beam frame 14 through the vibrating clamp. The vibration isolation component includes springs 35, multiple springs 35 are installed between the I-beam frame 14 and the horizontal plate 31, multiple tension springs 36 are provided between the horizontal plate 31 and the I-beam frame 14, and multiple dampers 37 are provided between the horizontal plate 31 and the I-beam frame 14.
[0051] The working principle of this invention is as follows: By simultaneously applying precisely controlled thermal stress and mechanical vibration to the oil-paper sample in a high-temperature insulating oil environment, the actual operating conditions of the converter transformer are simulated, thereby achieving efficient and realistic accelerated pre-aging.
[0052] Thermal-vibration composite stress loading principle: The core of the device lies in achieving multi-stress synergistic aging. The high-temperature oven 1 provides a constant high-temperature environment, causing the insulating oil in the box 11 and the oil paper sample immersed in it to bear continuous thermal stress. At the same time, the vibrator 34 is activated, and mechanical vibration of a specific frequency and amplitude is transmitted to the electric gripper 33 and the oil paper sample it holds through the horizontal plate 31 and the support plate 32, accurately simulating the electromagnetic vibration during operation.
[0053] Active dynamic sealing and precision guiding principle: The electric push rod 21 drives the jig 14 and the sealing cover 13 to move vertically, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the inlet of the box 11. The limit rod 23 cooperates with the bushing 24 to ensure the precise movement trajectory and prevent deflection. The sealing lip at the bottom of the sealing cover 13 and the port of the box 11 form the main seal, while the rod penetrating the sealing cover 13 and the sealing sleeve form a dynamic seal to ensure no leakage during vibration transmission.
[0054] Flexible vibration isolation and energy dissipation principle: The vibration isolation component is the key to ensuring that vibration is applied effectively without disturbing the environment. The spring 35 provides the main static support stiffness, and the tension spring 36 provides flexible buffering. Together, they attenuate the transmission of vibration to the I-beam frame 14. The damper 37 efficiently dissipates vibration energy, suppresses resonance, and ensures that the vibration waveform applied to the test specimen is pure and stable.
[0055] The principle of zoned aging and oil circuit connection: Multiple partitions 12 inside the box 11 divide the space, allowing multiple sets of comparative tests to be carried out simultaneously. The gap between the partitions 12 and the bottom wall ensures that the insulating oil is connected at the bottom, making the oil temperature in the entire box 11 uniform, and facilitating the uniform diffusion of aging products.
[0056] Operating Procedure: First, the operator injects sufficient insulating oil into the housing 11 to ensure the test sample is completely submerged. The sealing cover 13 is opened via the drive assembly, and multiple oil-paper test samples are placed into different electric grippers 33 and clamped. Next, the electric push rod 21 is activated again to close the sealing cover 13, ensuring the sealing lip is tightly pressed. The high-temperature oven 1 door is then closed. Next, the aging parameters are set on the control system interface: the target temperature and duration of the high-temperature oven 1, and the vibration frequency, amplitude, and mode of the vibrator 34. After confirming the parameters, the aging program is started, and the device begins automatic operation. The high-temperature oven 1 heats to the set temperature and maintains it. The vibrator 34 continuously applies mechanical vibration to the test sample in the oil according to the set program. During the subsequent test cycle of hundreds or even thousands of hours, the vibration isolation assembly continues to operate. Finally, at the end of the test, the system first stops heating and vibration. After the temperature drops to a safe range, the sealing cover 13 is automatically opened, and the operator removes the oil-paper test sample for subsequent operations.
