Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cooler processing technology, and in particular to a tool for replacing a main transformer cooler suitable for special terrains. Background Art

[0002] The main transformer is the main step-down transformer used for power transmission and transformation within a unit or substation, and is the core component of the substation. The transformer is the core equipment of the electric locomotive traction power supply system and is crucial for ensuring its safe and stable operation. Main transformers generally have large capacity and require high reliability. Although the failure rate of main transformers is low, a failure can cause significant losses. At the very least, it can cause equipment failure; at worst, it can cause a fire, endangering normal transportation safety.

[0003] The cooler inside the main transformer equipment is large in size and requires a lot of manpower during the disassembly and assembly process. The cooler is installed in a confined space, and during the disassembly and assembly process, it is impossible to use the lifting and transportation equipment in the factory. During the transportation process, the cooler must be transported over a distance of 5 meters before a crane can be used. Within this 5-meter distance, all lifting to the outside must be done manually and with a hoist.

[0004] After the main transformer room equipment was installed, conventional lifting brackets were unable to access the equipment area due to the complex interior environment. The lifting area was blocked by some equipment and had a cobblestone floor near the main transformer. Currently, replacing the main transformer cooler requires breaking open the wall of the main transformer room to a sufficient width and using an aerial work platform to lift the equipment through the top lifting point of the main transformer room. This can easily collide with adjacent equipment, causing damage and making the operation difficult. Utility Model Content

[0024] Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Conventional lifting brackets cannot access the equipment area due to the complex interior environment of the main transformer room, the obstruction of some equipment within the lifting area, and the cobblestone floor near the main transformer. Currently, replacing the main transformer cooler requires breaking open the main transformer room wall to a sufficient width and using an aerial work platform to pass the lifting strap through the main transformer room's top lifting point for lifting. This can easily collide with adjacent equipment, causing damage and making the operation difficult.

[0026] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application proposes a main transformer cooler replacement tool suitable for special terrain. When encountering a situation where only one side is a cobblestone ground, the main transformer cooler can be lifted using the replacement tool. It has the characteristics of convenient on-site installation, small footprint and easy disassembly and assembly. After torque verification, it can be suitable for lifting work in various narrow areas.

[0027] The present application proposes a tool for replacing a main transformer cooler suitable for special terrains, which tool includes a cooler lifting bracket and a special cooler lifting device. The cooler lifting bracket includes a supporting device 1 and support legs 2 fixed at both ends of the supporting device 1, wherein the support legs 2 at one end are placed on a slide 3, and the slide 3 is located on a track 4. Two pulley sets 5 are provided on the supporting device 1, and a hand winch 6 is provided on each pulley set 5. The hook provided under the hand winch 6 hooks the cooler lifting ear 23 of the special cooler lifting device.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the cooler lifting bracket proposed in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The lifting bracket is designed on one side of the cobblestone to support the main transformer track and the track support of the cooler base on the cobblestone, and a movable support is designed on the track support.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the cooler hanging bracket is made of aviation aluminum.

[0030] In a possible implementation manner, the height adjustment range of the cooler hanging bracket is 3.5 meters to 6 meters.

[0031] The cooler lifting bracket is made of high-strength aviation aluminum. The weight of the lifting bracket components does not exceed 70kG, of which the lifting beam that needs to be assembled at high altitude does not exceed 60kG. The lifting height of the cooler lifting bracket is between 3.5 meters and 6 meters, with an adjustment range of 50cm. The cooler lifting bracket as a whole can withstand 3T lifting weight without deformation or displacement.

[0032] Two pulley blocks 5 are provided on the supporting device 1 of the cooler lifting bracket. The pulley blocks 5 can slide along the direction of the supporting device 1. A hand hoist 6 is provided on each pulley block 5 for lifting the cooler.

[0033] The hook set under the hand chain hoist 6 hooks the cooler lifting lug 23 of the cooler special lifting device, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a special hanger for a cooler proposed in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The special hanger for a cooler includes a rotating shaft 21, a plurality of clamping members 22 arranged on the rotating shaft 21, a cooler lifting ear 23 arranged on the rotating shaft 21, and a bolt opening for matching with a bolt is provided at the bottom of the clamping member 22.

[0034] Since each main transformer cooler is 4.2 meters long, the main transformer cooler uses two hand hoists 6 to fix the cooler. The cooler is first placed in the clamping piece 22 of the cooler-specific lifting fixture, and then the bolts and nuts at the bottom of the clamping piece 22 are tightened. At this point, the main transformer cooler is fixed.

[0035] In a possible embodiment, the device further includes a cooler fixing frame 7 for placing the cooler, and the cooler fixing frame 7 includes a plurality of concave fixing members.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cooler mounting bracket proposed in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The cooler mounting bracket 7 includes multiple concave fixing members. After the main transformer cooler is lifted using a cooler hoisting bracket and a dedicated cooler lifting device, the cooler mounting bracket 7 is inserted to support the main transformer cooler. The main transformer cooler is placed in the concave portion of the concave fixing members. The cooler mounting bracket 7 is then placed on a transfer device, enabling stable transfer of the entire main transformer cooler.

[0037] In a possible embodiment, the device further includes a transfer device, which includes a transfer frame 31 and a plurality of transfer rollers 32 arranged on the transfer frame 31.

[0038] In a possible embodiment, a plurality of rollers are provided at the bottom of the transfer device.

[0040] A second pulley block 8 is further provided on the supporting device 1 , and a connecting chain 9 is provided under the second pulley block 8 . The connecting chain 9 is connected to both ends of the crossbeam 11 through a coupling member 10 , and a hook is provided under each coupling member 10 .

[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A structural schematic diagram of another cooler lifting bracket proposed in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In order to adjust the main transformer cooler from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction, a second pulley set 8 is also provided on the support device 1, which can switch the main transformer cooler between a horizontal and a vertical state with only a slight external force after lifting.

[0042] The steps for replacing the main transformer cooler with the tooling proposed in this application are as follows:

[0043] The first step is to manually arrange the cooler lifting bracket at the position where the cooler is to be lifted, lay the track on the cobblestone ground on the main transformer side, assemble and fix other areas, and install the lifting pulley on the bracket lifting beam.

[0044] The second step is to install the special lifting device for the cooler on the pulley block of the cooler lifting bracket, install the lifting device on the lifting ear of the cooler body, close the water and oil inlet and outlet valves of the cooler, and drain the water and oil of the cooler body. After the flange is removed, the cooler body can be lifted vertically.

[0045] The third step is to lift the cooler to a horizontal surface without any obstructions at the lower end of the cooler, and then use the special transfer device provided on the beam 11 to move it along the direction of the lifting beam.

[0046] The fourth step is to install the special lifting device for the cooler. Use two hand hoists 6 to cooperate to adjust the cooler from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction.

[0047] Step 5: With the cooperation of the cooler fixing frame and the transfer device, the main transformer cooler is horizontally transferred from the main transformer room to the outside.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0049] First, it is easy to install on site, occupies a small area and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0050] Second, it is safe and reliable, and has been torque-calibrated, making it suitable for lifting work in a variety of narrow areas.
