Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transformer protection technology, specifically to a transformer protection device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] A transformer is an electrical device used to change voltage levels in a power system. Its basic principle is electromagnetic induction, which increases or decreases voltage by transferring electrical energy between two or more windings. During the operation of a transformer, it is necessary to protect it. When protecting a transformer placed on the ground, in order to reduce the risk of the transformer being hit by a vehicle, a protective fence is usually installed around the transformer to achieve the purpose of collision prevention. Since the protective fence is set in a relatively square position around the transformer and is set parallel to the side of the transformer, when the protective fence is hit, it is easy to collapse directly and hit the transformer directly, which may cause the transformer to catch fire due to direct impact, thus affecting the protection efficiency of the transformer. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transformer protection device and its usage method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention relates to a transformer protection device, comprising a main body and a transformer, wherein the main body is rectangular in shape, and further comprising; A rotating mechanism is installed on the top of the main body to form protection on the outer surface of the transformer. Auxiliary mechanisms are installed on the side walls of the main body to support the main body after it is impacted. When the main body collides with the transformer, the rotating mechanism will gather towards the middle of the transformer's side wall to form a partition. At this time, the auxiliary mechanism will push the rotating mechanism to enhance the protective strength of the main body.

[0005] Furthermore, the main body has two guide plates fixedly connected internally, and the two guide plates are arranged diagonally. The main body includes: The support components are installed on top of the main body via movable parts to provide overall support. A blocking component is installed on the side wall of the support component.

[0006] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes four hollow columns disposed at the top of the main body, and the rotating mechanism includes: A rotating assembly is mounted on the side wall of the blocking assembly; The flipping component is mounted on the side wall of the rotating component via a pusher.

[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanisms include: A sliding component is installed on the side wall of the blocking component.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable component includes support beams located at the four corners of the top of the main body, wherein two of the support beams are slidably connected to the inside of the guide plate on the side closer to the main body; Among them, the other two support beams are fixedly connected to the main body, the top of the support beams is rotatably connected to a piston rod, and the side of the support beam near the piston rod is rotatably connected to a piston cylinder. The piston rod is slidably connected to the inside of the piston cylinder at one end, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the piston rod inside the piston cylinder. The end of the return spring away from the piston rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder. The support assembly includes a telescopic rod that is rotatably connected between two support beams.

[0009] Furthermore, the blocking assembly includes two fixed railings slidably connected to the outer surface of the telescopic pole, and a crank rod is fixedly connected between the two fixed railings; Among them, two sliding railings are installed on the side of the fixed railing near the support beam, and the sliding railings are slidably connected to the outer surface of the telescopic bar; The tensioning assembly includes fixed blocks that are fixedly connected to the side wall of the support beam, and two steel cables are fixedly connected between each of the two fixed blocks.

[0010] Furthermore, the hollow column is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the crankshaft; The rotating assembly includes a rotating plate rotatably connected to the side of the hollow column near the transformer, and a double-tube fixedly connected to the end of the rotating plate away from the hollow column; The double-tube slidably connects to the outer surfaces of the two steel ropes; The pusher includes a pusher plate rotatably connected to the side of the hollow column near the rotating plate. The pusher plate has an elongated groove on the side near the hollow column, and a connecting plate is rotatably connected inside the elongated groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the flipping assembly includes a long plate rotatably connected to the side of the connecting plate one away from the push plate, and a second connecting plate rotatably connected to the side of the long plate close to the connecting plate one; Among them, the bottom of the connecting plate two is rotatably connected to a horizontal plate, and the side of the horizontal plate away from the transformer is fixedly connected to two fixed railings.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes two limiting blocks that are slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the two steel ropes, and the two limiting blocks are symmetrically distributed around the double tube. Among them, a flip plate is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block near the fixed railing, and the side of the flip plate away from the double tube is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed block. Two connecting plates are rotatably connected to the side of the flip plate away from the limit block. The side of the connecting plates away from the flip plate is connected to the side wall of the sliding railing.

[0013] Furthermore, a method of using a transformer protection device, the transformer protection device, the method comprising the following steps: S1: Equipment installation: First, cover the transformer from the top with this device, and then connect and fix the main body to the ground with bolts. S2: Tilt Protection: When one side of this device is impacted, it will tilt to guide the impact force to non-critical locations, thus achieving the purpose of collision protection.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, when one side of the device is impacted by a vehicle, the hollow column will be the first to be impacted and rotate on the outer surface of the crank. The rotation of the hollow column pushes the two steel cables, causing them to bend and deform, and pulls the sliding support beam, causing it to slide at an angle. As the support beam slides, it drives the connected sliding and fixed railings to tilt via a telescopic rod. This tilting of one side of the protective device against the transformer's side wall directs the impact force to a non-critical location on the side of the transformer, reducing the risk of the device collapsing after a vehicle impact and directly impacting the transformer, potentially causing a fire. The tilting deformation of the device guides the impact force from a vertical direction to lateral sliding, preventing the impact energy from being directly transmitted to the transformer body, thereby improving the protection efficiency of the transformer.

[0015] 2. In this invention, when the two steel ropes are pushed and bent, they will drive the flipping plate to rotate through the limiting block. When the flipping plate rotates, it will pull the sliding railing towards the fixed railing and form a continuous baffle between the two support beams, thereby eliminating the gap between the fixed railings. The baffle formed by multiple fixed railings can disperse the impact force from the single point impact force borne by each fixed railing to the entire guardrail surface of the continuous baffle when the device is hit, thereby reducing the local stress concentration that may cause the fixed railing to break or separate from the support beam after being hit, thus enhancing the protective strength and support rigidity of the device.

[0016] 3. In this invention, when the hollow column rotates after being impacted, it pushes the push plate to slide obliquely downwards. As the push plate slides, the connecting plate pushes the long plate towards the fixed railings, compressing the sidewall of the continuous baffle formed by multiple fixed railings and generating an outward push. Simultaneously, the bottom end of the push plate contacts the ground, providing outward support to the hollow column. This creates a stable triangular frame between the push plate and the continuous baffle formed by the fixed railings, reducing the likelihood of the device tilting and collapsing onto the transformer after an impact. This further stabilizes the device's foundation for protecting the transformer, improving its resistance to overturning under vehicle impacts and enhancing its protective capabilities against the transformer, thus increasing protection efficiency.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 9 As shown, the present invention is a transformer protection device, including a main body 1 and a transformer 4. The main body 1 is rectangular and also includes; Rotating mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the main body 1 to form protection on the outer surface of the transformer 4; Auxiliary mechanism 3 is installed on the side wall of the main body 1 to support the main body 1 after it is impacted; When the main body 1 collides with the transformer 4, the rotating mechanism 2 will gather towards the middle of the side wall to form a partition. At this time, the auxiliary mechanism 3 will push the rotating mechanism 2 to enhance the protective strength of the main body 1.

[0023] The main body 1 has two guide plates 101 fixedly connected internally, and the two guide plates 101 are arranged diagonally. The main body 1 includes: Support component 11 is installed on the top of the main body 1 via a movable part to provide support for the whole body; The blocking component 12 is installed on the side wall of the support component 11.

[0024] The rotating mechanism 2 includes four hollow columns 201 disposed on the top of the main body 1. The rotating mechanism 2 includes: Rotating assembly 21 is mounted on the side wall of blocking assembly 12; The flipping component 22 is mounted on the side wall of the rotating component 21 via a pusher.

[0025] Auxiliary mechanism 3 includes: The sliding component 31 is installed on the side wall of the blocking component 12.

[0026] The movable component includes support beams 111 located at the four corners of the top of the main body 1, wherein two of the support beams 111 are slidably connected to the inside of the guide plate 101 on the side closer to the main body 1; Among them, the other two support beams 111 are fixedly connected to the main body 1, the top of the support beam 111 is rotatably connected to the piston rod 112, and the side of the support beam 111 near the piston rod 112 is rotatably connected to the piston cylinder 113. The piston rod 112 is slidably connected to the inside of the piston cylinder 113 at one end, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the piston rod 112 inside the piston cylinder 113. The end of the return spring away from the piston rod 112 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder 113. The support assembly 11 includes a telescopic rod 114 rotatably connected between two support beams 111. When the support beams 111 sliding inside the guide plate 101 are pulled, they will slide at an angle under the guidance of the guide plate 101.

[0027] The blocking assembly 12 includes two fixed railings 121 that are slidably connected to the outer surface of the telescopic rod 114, and a crank rod 123 is fixedly connected between the two fixed railings 121; Among them, two sliding railings 122 are provided on the side of the fixed railing 121 near the support beam 111, and the sliding railings 122 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the telescopic rod 114; The tensioning assembly 13 includes a fixing block 131 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support beam 111. Two steel cables 132 are fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks 131. When the support beam 111 slides, it slides inside the piston cylinder 113 through the piston rod 112. After the support beam 111 slides under the tension of the two steel cables 132, it will tilt the sliding railing 122 and the fixed railing 121 connected to it through the telescopic rod 114.

[0028] Hollow column 201 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of crank rod 123; The rotating assembly 21 includes a rotating plate 211 rotatably connected to the side of the hollow column 201 near the transformer 4, and a double tube 212 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating plate 211 away from the hollow column 201. The double-tube 212 is slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the two steel ropes 132; The pushing component includes a pushing plate 221 rotatably connected to the hollow column 201 on the side near the rotating plate 211. The pushing plate 221 has a long groove on the side near the hollow column 201. A connecting plate 222 is rotatably connected inside the long groove. When the hollow column 201 is impacted and rotates, it pushes the double tube 212 to slide through the rotating plate 211. When the double tube 212 is pushed, it will directly push the two steel ropes 132 to produce a bending deformation.

[0029] The flipping assembly 22 includes a long plate 223 rotatably connected to the side of the connecting plate 222 away from the push plate 221, and a connecting plate 224 rotatably connected to the side of the long plate 223 near the connecting plate 222. Among them, the bottom of the connecting plate 224 is rotatably connected to a horizontal plate. The side of the horizontal plate away from the transformer 4 is fixedly connected to two fixed railings 121. When the hollow column 201 is impacted and rotates, the rotation of the hollow column 201 will push the push plate 221 to slide obliquely downward. When the push plate 221 slides obliquely downward, it will push the long plate 223 to slide towards the fixed railing 121 through the connecting plate 222.

[0030] The sliding component 31 includes two limiting blocks 311 that are slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the two steel ropes 132, and the two limiting blocks 311 are symmetrically distributed with the double tube 212 as the center. Among them, the side of the limiting block 311 near the fixed railing 121 is fixedly connected to the flip plate 312, and the side of the flip plate 312 away from the double tube 212 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed block 131. Two connecting plates 313 are rotatably connected to the side of the flip plate 312 away from the limit block 311. The side of the connecting plate 313 away from the flip plate 312 is connected to the side wall of the sliding railing 122. When the two steel ropes 132 are pushed, they will produce a bending deformation. When the connecting plate 313 deforms, it will pull the support beam 111 sliding inside the guide plate 101.

[0031] A method for using a transformer protection device, the method comprising the following steps: S1: Equipment installation: First, cover the transformer 4 from the top with this device, and then connect and fix the main body 1 to the ground with bolts. S2: Tilt Protection: When one side of this device is impacted, it will tilt to guide the impact force to non-critical locations, thus achieving the purpose of collision protection.

[0032] In use, first, this device is placed over the transformer 4 from the top, and then the main body 1 is connected and fixed to the ground with bolts. When one side of this device is hit by a car, the hollow column 201 will be impacted first. When the hollow column 201 is impacted, it will rotate on the outer surface of the crank 123. When the hollow column 201 rotates, it will push the two steel cables 132 through the rotating plate 211. When the two steel cables 132 are pushed, they will bend and deform. When the connecting plate 313 deforms, it will pull the support beam 111 sliding inside the guide plate 101. When the support beam 111 sliding inside the guide plate 101 is pulled, it will slide tilted under the guidance of the guide plate 101. When the support beam 111 slides, it will be pulled by the rotating plate 211. The piston rod 112 slides inside the piston cylinder 113. Then, when the support beam 111 slides under the tension of the two steel cables 132, it will cause the sliding railing 122 and the fixed railing 121 connected to it to tilt through the telescopic rod 114. This will cause one side of the protective device to tilt on the side wall of the transformer 4. The tilting of one side of the device can guide the impact force on one side to a non-critical position on the side of the transformer 4, thereby reducing the possibility of the device collapsing after being hit by a vehicle and directly hitting the transformer 4, causing it to catch fire. Through the tilting deformation of the device, the impact force can be guided from the vertical direction to the lateral sliding, avoiding the impact energy from being directly transmitted to the body of the transformer 4, thereby improving the protection efficiency of the transformer 4.

[0033] When the hollow column 201 is impacted and rotates, it pushes the double tube 212 to slide via the rotating plate 211. The double tube 212, upon being pushed, directly pushes the two steel ropes 132, causing them to bend. As the two steel ropes 132 are pushed and bent, they cause the flipping plate 312 to rotate on the side wall of the fixed block 131 via the limiting block 311. When the flipping plate 312 rotates, it pulls the connected sliding railing 122 across the surface of the telescopic rod 114 towards the fixed railing 121. When multiple fixed railings 121 slide, they form a continuous baffle between the two support beams 111, eliminating the gaps between the fixed railings 121. The baffle formed by the multiple fixed railings 121 can disperse the impact force from the single point impact force borne by each fixed railing 121 to the entire guardrail surface of the continuous baffle when the device is impacted. This reduces the local stress concentration that could cause the fixed railings 121 to break or separate from the support beams 111 after an impact, thereby enhancing the protective strength and support rigidity of the device.

[0034] When the hollow column 201 rotates after being impacted, the rotation of the hollow column 201 will push the push plate 221 to slide diagonally downwards. When the push plate 221 slides diagonally downwards, it will push the long plate 223 to slide towards the fixed railing 121 through the connecting plate 222. When the long plate 223 slides, it will squeeze the side wall of the continuous baffle formed by multiple fixed railings 121 and generate an outward push. At the same time, the bottom end of the push plate 221 will contact the ground and provide outward support for the hollow column 201. When the long plate 223 supports the side wall of the fixed railing 121, it can form a triangular stable frame between the push plate 221 and the continuous baffle formed by the fixed railing 121. This reduces the possibility of the device tilting and collapsing and falling onto the transformer 4 when it is impacted and tilted. It further stabilizes the foundation of the device for protecting the transformer 4, improves the device's anti-overturning ability under vehicle impact, and further enhances the protection capability of the transformer 4, thus improving the protection efficiency.
