Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a waterproof and sandproof expander cover, belonging to the technical field of mutual inductors. Background Art
[0002] The expander is one of the key components of the oil-immersed current transformer. Its main function is to adjust the internal pressure of the transformer, protect the insulation system, and monitor the temperature change of the transformer. Its advantage is that it can ensure that the current transformer remains stable when the temperature changes, and at the same time use a closed compensation device to compensate for the internal oil level.
[0003] Since most current transformer products operate outdoors, exposed to the sun, rain, wind and sand for many years, the connection between the expander cover and the oil storage cabinet is prone to leaking sand and dust due to poor sealing, which will pollute the inside of the transformer.
[0004] This utility model patent with application number CN202122582307.5 discloses a transparent expander cover, including: a bottom plate, a metal bellows is installed on the top of the bottom plate, a top plate is installed on the top of the metal bellows, an oil inlet is installed on the outer wall of the top plate, a scale line is also installed on the outer wall of the top plate, a limiting mechanism is also installed on the top of the bottom plate, and a closing mechanism is installed on the top of the limiting mechanism; the limiting mechanism includes: four fixed blocks, the inner cavity of the fixed block is slidably installed with a plug rod, and one end of the plug rod extends out of the outer wall of the fixed block. In actual use, the transparent cover can be quickly and conveniently installed stably without tightening several bolts, saving time and effort. However, the sealing condition of the bottom of the expander cover is not good, which is easy to contaminate the inside of the transformer.
[0005] The oil level indicator on the expander housing may fade or even peel off, which may prevent the product from accurately performing its intended function. At the same time, in strong wind conditions, the housing may vibrate for a long time, causing damage. Utility Model Content
