Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil extraction devices, in particular to an automatic oil extraction device for transformer oil samples. Background Art

[0002] Oil-immersed transformers use oil as the main insulation means of the transformer, and rely on oil as a cooling medium, such as oil-immersed self-cooling, oil-immersed air cooling, oil-immersed water cooling and forced oil circulation, etc. The transformer is immersed in transformer oil to maintain an insulating and low-humidity environment, and the transformer oil can also absorb the heat generated during the operation of the transformer.

[0003] Good transformer oil should be a clean and transparent liquid, without sediment, mechanical impurities, suspended matter and cotton-like substances. If it is contaminated and oxidized, and resin and sediment are produced, the quality of the transformer oil will deteriorate, and the color will gradually change to light red until it becomes a dark brown liquid. When the transformer is faulty, the color of the oil will also change. Generally, transformer oil should not be used when it is light brown. In addition, transformer oil can appear turbid and milky, black and dark in color. Therefore, the transformer needs to be lifted up to sample the transformer oil during use to understand the status of the transformer oil. Since the environment in which the transformer oil is located changes after leaving the transformer, it is easily polluted by the external environment. The existing transformer oil sampling mainly relies on manual sampling, or simply extracting the transformer oil. The oil sample is easily disturbed by the external environment and deteriorates, affecting the results of the oil sampling.

[0037] Sampling box 1; the sampling box 1 may be provided with an openable top cover (not shown), so as to provide dust and rainproof effects in the external environment.

[0038] A waste oil barrel 2 is arranged in the sampling box 1;

[0039] A lifting mechanism 3 is arranged in the sampling box 1;

[0040] The oil storage cylinder 4 is driven by the lifting mechanism 3, and includes a first cavity 401 and a second cavity 402. The first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 are separated by a piston 403 and have adjustable volumes. The oil inlet ends of the first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 are connected to the transformer oil tank through a three-way valve 5, and the oil outlet ends of the first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 are connected to the waste oil barrel 2 through corresponding valves 6;

[0041] In this embodiment, the oil storage cylinder 4 is a cylinder structure, and a piston 403 is arranged inside it. The volume of the first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 is adjusted by the left and right movement of the piston 403. The sum of the volumes of the first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 remains unchanged. For example, when a certain oil pressure is applied to the first cavity 401, the piston 403 moves to the right, thereby increasing the volume of the first cavity 401 and reducing the volume of the second cavity 402. The oil outlet ends of the first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 are connected to the waste oil barrel 2 through corresponding valves 6, and the oil outlet ends of the first cavity 401 or the second cavity 402 can be controlled to open, thereby discharging the oil or air in the cavity.

[0042] The control system controls the three-way valve 5 to connect the oil path between the first cavity 401 and the transformer oil tank, close the oil path between the second cavity 402 and the transformer oil tank, open the valve 6 at the oil outlet end of the second cavity 402, and close the valve 6 at the oil outlet end of the first cavity 401, so as to introduce the transformer oil into the oil storage cylinder 4; when the oil storage cylinder 4 discharges oil, the control system controls the three-way valve 5 to connect the oil path between the second cavity 402 and the transformer oil tank, close the oil path between the first cavity 401 and the transformer oil tank, open the valve 6 at the oil outlet end of the first cavity 401, and close the valve 6 at the oil outlet end of the second cavity 402, so as to discharge the oil in the first cavity 401 into the waste oil barrel.

[0043] The oil path connection path when the oil storage cylinder 4 extracts oil from the transformer oil tank is referenced Figure 3 The oil path connection path of the oil storage cylinder 4 when discharging oil is referenced Figure 4 By repeatedly alternating oil extraction and oil discharge, the residual sample accumulated after the last sampling in the first cavity 401 can be flushed and removed by the transformer oil in the transformer mailbox, thereby achieving a self-cleaning effect of the oil storage cylinder 4, preventing the accumulated residual sample from deteriorating in the outside world and affecting the quality of the oil sample sampled next time.

[0044] In this embodiment, the waste oil barrel 2 can be arranged on one side of the sampling box 1.

[0045] By controlling the conduction direction of the three-way valve 5 and the opening and closing of the valve 6, the oil storage cylinder 4 is controlled to perform sampling or oil discharge. This process can be completed without human intervention. The certain oil pressure in the transformer oil tank is utilized, so that when the three-way valve 5 is conducted, the oil pressure in the transformer oil tank pushes the piston 403 to move.

[0046] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a tray 301 and a lifting push rod 302 . The oil storage cylinder 4 is disposed on the tray 301 . The lifting push rod 302 is used to drive the tray 301 to move up and down.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 can drive the oil storage cylinder 4 to move up and down, thereby driving the oil storage cylinder 4 to sink into the sampling box 1 under normal conditions. When the sampling is completed, the oil storage cylinder 4 can be lifted above the sampling oil tank 1, so that the staff can go to the site to take away the oil storage cylinder 4 filled with oil for further testing.

[0048] Furthermore, the tray 301 is provided with oil guide holes 303 at the oil outlet ends corresponding to the first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 , and the oil discharged from the first cavity 401 and the second cavity 402 flows into the waste oil barrel 2 through the oil guide holes 303 .

[0049] Furthermore, the waste oil barrel 2 is arranged below one of the oil guide holes 303 , and an oil guide plate 7 is arranged below the other oil guide hole 303 , and the oil guide plate 7 guides the transformer oil flowing out of the corresponding oil guide hole 303 into the waste oil barrel 2 .

[0050] Furthermore, the oil guide plate 7 is tilted, the lower end of the oil guide plate 7 is connected to the upper end of the waste oil barrel 2, the oil guide plate 7 is provided with a guide hole for the push rod 302 to pass through, and a baffle 701 is provided around the guide hole.

[0051] In this embodiment, the waste oil introduced by the oil guide hole 303 which is not arranged above the waste oil barrel 2 flows into the waste oil barrel 2 through the oil guide plate 4.

[0052] Furthermore, a remote controller 8 is included, which is communicatively connected to the corresponding client, and is used to receive instructions issued by the client and forward them to the control system. The remote controller 8 may include a PLC and a 4G wireless communication module, which is used to control the operation of the oil production device and the remote data transmission of data, and can realize several important functions such as automatic collection of transformer oil samples, automatic oil drainage, and automatic flushing.

[0053] Further, it includes a photovoltaic panel 9 and a battery, the photovoltaic panel converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery, and the battery supplies power to the control system or the remote controller. The photovoltaic panel 9 and the battery, under normal lighting conditions, the photovoltaic panel can be stably charged and the battery can be discharged normally, the voltage meets the 24V requirement and the current value meets the maximum 6A design requirement, the battery is selected to be 24V-30Ah, and even in the case of no photovoltaic power generation, it can be fully charged and used for sampling 300 times.

[0054] Furthermore, a booster pump (not shown) is connected in series between the transformer oil tank and the three-way valve 5. When the oil pressure in the transformer oil tank cannot push the piston 403 to move and sample the oil in the oil storage cylinder 4, the booster pump can increase the pressure to ensure the completion of the oil sampling.
