Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of transformer equipment, in particular to an automatic transformer fire alarm device and a transformer. Background Art

[0002] Transformers are static electrical devices used to transform AC voltage and current to transmit AC power. Transformers play a very important role in the power grid system, so the stable and safe operation of transformers is related to the normal operation of the power grid. During the operation of transformers, electrical faults, excessive coil temperature, aging, etc. are prone to cause internal fires, which in turn affect the normal operation of the power grid. Fire monitoring of transformers is very necessary.

[0003] However, the fire inside the transformer cannot be directly observed, making it difficult for the staff to rescue in time. The traditional method of judging the equipment status based on the tone is prone to misjudgment. During the long-term operation during the peak power consumption period in summer, the temperature will remain high for a long time, so there is a risk of fire. When the coil inside the transformer catches fire, it cannot be directly observed from the outside, so the monitoring personnel cannot discover the hidden fire in the first time, resulting in missing the best time for firefighting, and even causing a bigger fire.

[0004] Regarding the problem that transformer fires cannot be discovered directly and timely, an automatic transformer fire alarm device in existing literature can provide early warning of fire inside the transformer, but it needs to push the sealing ball to release pressure through the expansion of air when an internal fire occurs, and the reaction is slow. At the same time, since the internal temperature of the transformer is relatively high during normal use, it is easy to expand and push the sealing ball to release pressure when there is no fire, causing the device to make a sound. It is very easy to misjudge the transformer situation based on the tone, and the device often makes a sound but does not catch fire. Over time, even if a fire occurs, it is very easy to be ignored. Utility Model Content

[0018] The beneficial effect is that the arrangement of the cooling box and the injection port thereof can facilitate the replenishment of the cooling medium in the cooling box.

[0019] Furthermore, a liquid level meter is provided in the cooling box, and a signal of the liquid level meter is connected to a controller.

[0020] The beneficial effect is that by setting the liquid level meter, the amount of cooling medium in the cooling box can be understood in real time, so as to replenish the cooling medium in time.

[0022] The beneficial effect is that the setting of the exhaust duct can dissipate the heat of the transformer from multiple directions with the cooled air, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0043] The early warning component includes an air intake box 21 , a negative pressure fan 22 , an exhaust duct 23 , an early warning device 15 and a smoke sensor 26 .

[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the air intake box 21 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 14 by means of screws and clamps, the air intake box 21 is connected to the interior of the outer body 1 , and the air intake box 21 is connected to the air intake end of the negative pressure fan 22 through the air intake pipe 271 .

[0045] A mounting plate 25 with a hollow structure is connected to the air intake box 21, and a smoke sensor 26 is installed on the mounting plate 25. A filter element 24 for filtering air drawn from the transformer is installed above the smoke sensor 26. The smoke sensor 26 can use an existing sensor, such as an MQ-2 model sensor. The smoke sensor 26 signal is connected to a controller, and the controller can use an existing single-chip chip, such as an STM series or other types of single-chip microcomputers. The controller signal is connected to the early warning device 15, and the early warning device 15 can use an existing sound and light early warning device. When the controller receives a corresponding signal through the pin electrically connected to the smoke sensor 26, it transmits an alarm signal to the early warning device 15 for early warning. The peripheral circuits electrically connected to the controller and each sensor are existing and will not be repeated here.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the exhaust duct 23 is located below the mounting plate 14. The exhaust duct 23 is fixed to the outer body 1 through a first connecting frame 30. The exhaust duct 23 is arranged around the mounting plate 14 to the outside. The exhaust duct 23 extends out of the side wall of the outer body 1.
