Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of three-phase transformers, in particular to a water-cooled transformer. Background Art

[0002] Transformers are widely used in power and electronic systems as voltage and current conversion devices to carry the function of power transmission. In most cases, reactive power is effectively transmitted, while the active power generated by conductors such as iron cores and coil wires in transformers is converted into heat energy. As the load increases, the temperature rise of the product increases, which in severe cases will accelerate the aging of the insulation in the product and shorten the service life of the appliance. If the cooling speed is accelerated when the temperature rises, the aging of the insulation can be delayed and the service life of the transformer can be increased.

[0003] After searching, the application publication number CN112750605A discloses a water-cooled transformer, which specifically discloses: the water-cooled transformer includes: an iron core, a valve side winding, a grid side winding and a liquid cooling device; the grid side winding and the valve side winding are sequentially sleeved on the iron core from the inside to the outside; the grid side winding and the valve side winding are both wound by hollow wires, and the ends of each hollow wire are connected to the liquid cooling device through a conversion head, so that cooling water circulates between the hollow wire and the liquid cooling device; the ends of each hollow wire are connected to the output terminal through a copper flat wire to draw out current.

[0004] However, the existing patent mainly uses cooling water to circulate in the hollow wire for cooling, which has a slow cooling speed; it is mainly aimed at rectifier transformers; the coil wire is directly in contact with the cooling water, which is difficult to maintain. After long-term operation, the cooling water is prone to electrolysis and the wire is prone to corrosion. Therefore, how to design a water-cooled transformer with a fast cooling speed is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] According to one aspect of the utility model, a water-cooled transformer is provided, comprising a transformer casing, a transformer, cooling water, a solenoid valve, a connecting pipe and a chiller, wherein the transformer is placed in the transformer casing, and the space between the transformer and the casing is filled with cooling water; the transformer casing and the chiller are connected through a connecting pipe, and the solenoid valve is installed on the connecting pipe.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, there are two connecting pipelines, namely a water inlet pipeline and a water outlet pipeline.

When the solenoid valve on the water inlet pipe is in the first working position, the cooling water in the chiller flows into the transformer casing in one direction; when the solenoid valve on the water outlet pipe is in the second working position, the cooling water in the transformer casing flows into the chiller in one direction.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the water inlet pipeline is located above the water outlet pipeline.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the transformer is an insulated cast transformer.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a water-cooled transformer 2, including a transformer housing 1, a transformer 2, a solenoid valve 4, a connecting pipeline (a water inlet pipeline 61 and a water outlet pipeline 62) and a chiller 5.

[0027] The transformer housing 1 is a cubic sealed structure with a hollow interior. The transformer 2 is placed in the transformer housing 1. One side of the transformer 2 is connected to the water cooler through two connecting pipes (water inlet pipe 61 and water outlet pipe 62). A drain port is provided on the transformer housing 1, through which the cooling water 3 inside can be replaced or discharged to repair the transformer 2.

[0028] The transformer 2 is an insulating cast transformer 2.

[0029] The connecting pipeline includes a water inlet pipeline 61 and a water outlet pipeline 62. The water inlet pipeline 61 is arranged above the water outlet pipeline 62. The water inlet pipeline 61 and the water outlet pipeline 62 are both provided with a solenoid valve 4.

[0030] The solenoid valve 4 is a one-way valve. When the solenoid valve 4 on the water inlet pipeline 61 is in the first working state, the water inlet pipeline 61 is in the open state, at which time the cooling water 3 can flow from the water chiller to the transformer housing 1. When it is in the second working state, the water inlet pipeline 61 is in the closed state, at which time the cooling water 3 cannot flow. When the solenoid valve 4 on the water outlet pipeline 62 is in the first working state, the water outlet pipeline 62 is in the open state, at which time the cooling water 3 can flow from the transformer housing 1 to the water chiller. When it is in the second working state, the water outlet pipeline 62 is in the closed state, at which time the cooling water 3 cannot flow. By adjusting the solenoid valves 4 on the two pipelines, the circulating cooling of the cooling water 3 can be controlled.

[0031] A temperature sensor is provided in the transformer casing 1, and a controller is provided on the chiller 5. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the cooling water 3 in the transformer casing 1 is higher than the set value, a signal is sent to the controller, and the controller controls the chiller to start working; when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the cooling water 3 in the transformer casing 1 is lower than the set value, a signal is sent to the controller, and the controller controls the chiller to stop working.

[0032] The cooling water 3 in the transformer housing 1 is pure water.

[0033] The utility model improves the traditional heat dissipation mode of the transformer 2, effectively reduces the size of the transformer 2 body, opens or closes the cooling system according to the heating situation, and improves the fire protection level of the product.

[0034] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
