Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high power density, in particular to an integrated oil tank. Background Art

[0002] As the performance requirements and power density of internal components of transformers continue to increase, the requirements for heat dissipation are becoming more and more stringent. Existing transformers are usually divided into oil-immersed and dry types. Dry-type transformers generally use air convection to dissipate heat and use solid insulating materials for insulation. However, when the line voltage is too high, the voltage can easily break through the air and discharge, causing danger. At this time, oil-immersed transformers are generally used. Since the breakdown temperature in oil is higher than that in air, oil-immersed transformers can be effectively insulated.

[0003] However, as the degree of integration increases, the power density of electronic components increases, resulting in extremely high heat generation of the devices, which will pose many safety hazards. Therefore, the working winding of the transformer needs to be immersed in oil to meet the heat dissipation needs of the transformer. However, the oil tank will become hot due to the heat conducted during the operation of the transformer, resulting in limitations in the heat dissipation performance of the oil-immersed transformer. At the same time, in order to meet the filling of industrial heavy oil, the oil tank is usually designed to be large and too bulky. Utility Model Content

[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 only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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.

[0026] With the development of time, the power density becomes higher and higher. The power device parallel technology and the integrated power unit series-parallel technology provide guarantees for achieving high current and high power of single-machine power modules. As the degree of integration increases, the power density of electronic components increases, resulting in extremely high heat generation of the devices, which will pose more safety hazards.

[0027] As device performance requirements and power density continue to increase, heat dissipation requirements are becoming increasingly stringent. Transformers are usually divided into oil-immersed and dry types. Dry-type transformers generally use air convection to dissipate heat and use solid insulating materials for insulation. However, when the line voltage is too high, the voltage can easily break through the air and discharge, causing danger. At this time, oil-immersed transformers are generally used. Since the breakdown temperature in oil is higher than that in air, oil-immersed transformers can effectively insulate.

[0028] However, as the degree of integration increases, the power density of electronic components increases, resulting in extremely high heat generation of the devices, which will pose many safety hazards. Therefore, the working winding of the transformer needs to be immersed in oil to meet the heat dissipation needs of the transformer. However, the oil tank will become hot due to the heat conducted during the operation of the transformer, resulting in limitations in the heat dissipation performance of the oil-immersed transformer. At the same time, in order to meet the filling of industrial heavy oil, the oil tank is usually designed to be large and too bulky.

[0029] Based on the above existing technical problems of large volume and heavy fuel tank, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4, which is an embodiment of the utility model, an integrated fuel tank, including a box body formed by splicing or integrally forming a plurality of side panels, and a box cover 6 adapted to the box body, the splicing or integrally forming structure effectively ensures the sealing of the fuel tank box body, the box body is welded or integrally formed by a rear aluminum plate 1, a left aluminum plate 2, a front aluminum plate 3, a right aluminum plate 4 and a bottom plate 5, and the side panels and the bottom plate 5 on the box body are made of nano-aluminum alloy composite materials, which have the effects of good heat dissipation, noise reduction and energy loss compared with traditional metal materials, and have the effects of light weight, high strength, high rigidity, high shear strength, small thermal expansion, high thermal stability, excellent electrical conductivity, heat conductivity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.;

[0030] A plurality of first grooves 10, second grooves 20 and third grooves 50 are provided on the inner side wall of the box body for reducing deadweight and increasing oil storage capacity, and twelve first grooves 10 are provided on the side of the rear aluminum plate 1, nine second grooves 20 are provided on the side of the left aluminum plate 2, and fifteen third grooves 50 are provided on the upper side of the bottom plate 5. Under the condition of considering mechanical stress and strength and according to the maximum application condition, a corresponding number of first grooves 10, second grooves 20 and third grooves 50 can be evenly distributed on the side plate of the corresponding box body, and the effect of reducing weight and increasing oil storage volume can be achieved by increasing the groove notches;

[0031] A plurality of straight grooves 30 are provided on one side of the box body to increase the heat dissipation capacity by increasing the air contact surface. Four groups of straight grooves 30 are provided on the side of the front aluminum plate 3. The side of the front aluminum plate 3 located inside the box body is a plane structure. In consideration of mechanical stress and strength, according to the maximum application conditions, four groups of seven straight grooves 30 are provided. The outer grooves are opened to increase the air contact surface, and related equipment such as an external fan can also be connected to increase oil circulation.

[0032] The other side of the box is reserved for multiple installation positions 40 for IGBT installation. Twelve installation positions 40 are provided on the side of the right aluminum plate 4, and a plurality of flow channels 41 arranged horizontally are provided on the installation surface of the installation positions 40. The left aluminum plate 2 and the right aluminum plate 4 have the same structural design. Since the IGBT generates a lot of heat when working, the heat is transferred to the oil tank for cooling through aluminum. In addition, the additional flow channels 41 on the surface outside the IGBT installation further increase the heat dissipation area to maintain a good heat dissipation effect.

[0033] The top of the box cover 6 is provided with a lifting ring structure hole and an interface for connecting the transformer. The lifting ring structure hole facilitates assembly during loading and unloading, and the transformer in the box can be conveniently assembled through the interface.

[0034] The first groove 10, the second groove 20, and the third groove 50 opened on the upper side plate of the box body can open a corresponding number of grooves and notches according to the maximum application conditions while considering the mechanical stress and strength, so as to reduce the weight of the box body and increase the oil storage volume. Through the flow channel 41, the heat dissipation area can be increased to solve the heat generated by the IGBT when working. By opening grooves outside the I-shaped groove 30, on the one hand, the air contact surface can be increased, and on the other hand, an external fan and other related equipment can be connected to increase oil circulation.
