Transformers are devices that use the principle of electromagnetic induction to change AC voltage. The main components are primary coils, secondary coils and iron cores (magnetic cores). They play the role of voltage conversion, current conversion, impedance conversion, isolation, and voltage stabilization (magnetic saturation transformer) in the circuit. Transformers are basic equipment for power transmission and distribution, and are widely used in industries, agriculture, transportation, urban communities and other fields. If the power network is the blood vessel of human society, then the transformer is the nerve that controls the contraction of blood vessels. Its importance is self-evident. The oil-immersed transformer is a transformer that uses transformer oil as an insulating and cooling medium. Compared with traditional transformers, oil-immersed transformers have the advantages of light weight, good heat dissipation, and good moisture resistance, so they have been widely used.
[0003] After long-term use, the transformer oil inside the oil-immersed transformer will produce certain losses. The lowered oil level inside the transformer will not only affect the heat dissipation effect of the oil-immersed transformer, but also affect the insulation performance of the oil-immersed transformer, causing certain safety hazards. However, due to the complex internal structure and numerous pipelines of the transformer, traditional oil level gauges are difficult to use inside oil-immersed transformers. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] 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 only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A digital oil level gauge for a transformer comprises an outer shell 1, an operating panel 2 with a sealing arrangement is installed on the shell of the outer shell 1, a composite cable 3 is installed on the side of the outer shell 1, a sealed cavity 1 4 and a sealed cavity 2 5 are arranged inside the outer shell 1, the sealed cavity 1 4 is a blind hole, a sliding block 6 with a sliding seal is arranged inside the sealed cavity 1 4, the sliding block 6 is connected to a connecting rod 7, the end of the connecting rod 7 abuts against a sliding rheostat 8, the connecting rod 7 and the sliding rheostat 8 are both electrically connected to a circuit protection circuit 9 arranged in the sealed cavity 2 5, the circuit protection circuit 9 is electrically connected to a pressure-current detection chip 10, the pressure-current detection chip 10 is electrically connected to a single-chip microcomputer 11, and the single-chip microcomputer 11 is electrically connected to the operating panel 2 and the composite cable 3 respectively.
[0022] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 An end protection sleeve 13 is arranged between the outer shell 1 and the composite cable 3. The end protection sleeve 13 is a corrugated tube sleeve. Since the internal environment of the oil-immersed transformer is relatively complex, it is sometimes necessary to bend the composite cable 3 when installing the device. This arrangement can provide bending protection for the composite cable 3 through the end protection sleeve 13, avoid breaking of the composite cable 3, and thus increase the service life of the composite cable 3.
[0023] See also Figure 2 The outer shell 1 is a trapezoidal structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. This arrangement can lower the center of gravity of the device, improve the stability of the device, and ensure the stability of the device during operation.
[0024] See also Figure 3 A magnetic sheet 12 is embedded in the bottom of the outer shell 1. This arrangement allows the magnetic sheet 12 to be used to fix the device at the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil-immersed transformer, further ensuring the stability of the device.
[0025] See also Figure 4 The operation panel 2 includes a display screen 201, an indicator light 202 is arranged on the side of the display screen 201, and a switch button 203 is arranged below the indicator light 202. This arrangement is convenient for the staff to manually control the opening and closing of the device through the switch button 203. At the same time, the display screen 201 can display the detection data of the device in real time, which is convenient for the staff to view.
[0026] Referring to FIG. 3 , the sealed cavity 4 is filled with insulating gas 14 . This arrangement can utilize the insulating gas 14 to further improve the insulation performance in the sealed cavity 4 , and can also provide a reset function for the slider 6 .
[0027] Referring to 3, the slider 6 is sealed and slidably connected to the sealing cavity 4, and the inner wall of the sealing cavity 4 is polished. This arrangement can improve the sealing performance and prevent the transformer oil from entering the sealing cavity 4.
[0028] Working principle: When using this device, first electrically connect the composite cable 3 to the external control end, so that the composite cable 3 is used to power the device. At the same time, the information collected by the device is fed back to the external control end through the composite cable 3. The device is placed at the bottom of the oil-immersed transformer. The hydraulic pressure of the transformer oil directly acts on the side of the slider 6. The hydraulic pressure pushes the slider 6 to shrink into the sealed cavity 4, so that the slider 6 pushes the end of the connecting rod 7 to slide to a certain position on the sliding rheostat 8. After the placement is completed, operate the operation panel 2 to start the device. The composite cable 3 inputs the power of the external control end into the device, passes through the circuit protection loop 9, and is clamped at both ends of the sliding rheostat 8. Part of the resistance on the sliding rheostat 8 is connected to the circuit, and the pressure-current detection chip is used. 10 detects the voltage and current information of the circuit of the device, and feeds it back to the single-chip microcomputer 11 for processing, and at the same time feeds it back to the external control end via the composite cable 3. When the transformer oil inside the oil-immersed transformer is lost, the height of the transformer oil is reduced, and the hydraulic strength generated on the side of the slider 6 is reduced. At this time, the gas in the sealed cavity 4 pushes the slider 6 to move outward, and the end of the connecting rod 7 slides on the sliding rheostat 8, changing the resistance of the sliding rheostat 8 connected to the circuit of the device, so that the voltage and current detected by the pressure-current detection chip 10 change. After the change information is processed by the single-chip microcomputer 11, it is displayed on the operation panel 2, and at the same time, it is fed back to the external control end via the composite cable 3, so that people can conveniently observe the oil level change information at any time and maintain the oil-immersed transformer in time.
