Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of transformers, in particular to a water-cooled oil-immersed transformer. Background Art
[0002] Oil-immersed transformer is a voltage conversion device that uses oil cooling technology to reduce temperature. It is widely used in power transmission and distribution, industrial and commercial power supply. It achieves efficient cooling and good insulation through insulating oil, and has durability and high load capacity. However, it is necessary to regularly test the quality of insulating oil during use, take fire prevention measures to prevent flammable insulating oil from causing fire, and pay attention to leakage prevention to protect the environment. In short, oil-immersed transformer plays an important role in the power system with its efficient cooling and excellent insulation performance.
[0003] The Institute of Economic Inspection, application number: 202320128824.1, "A water-cooled oil-immersed transformer", records: The cooling water in the water tank flows through the outlet pipe and is sprayed onto the cooling fins from the nozzle. The cooling water flows along the cooling fins into the annular water receiving box, and then is pumped back into the water tank through the return pipe by the water pump to realize the circulation of cooling water. When the cooling water is sprayed onto the cooling fins, it will directly cool the cooling fins. At the same time, in the process of flowing on the cooling fins, the evaporation of cooling water will also take away some heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the cooling fins. However, there is a substantial problem in actual use. In actual application, the design faces a key problem: Since the transformer is a high-voltage electrical component, insulation failure, poor ground contact or operational errors may cause the transformer casing and the surface of the cooling fins to be charged. In this case, if the aforementioned water cooling system continues to be used, it may cause the transformer to short-circuit, thereby causing economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.
[0030] Embodiment 1:
[0031] A water-cooled oil-immersed transformer, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, it includes a transformer body 1 and a heat sink 2, a water cooling mechanism 3 is arranged on the outside of the heat sink 2, the water cooling mechanism 3 includes a plurality of water cooling plates 301, a mounting groove 310 is formed between adjacent water cooling plates 301, a first spacer layer 302 is attached to the inner side of the mounting groove 310, a second spacer layer 303 is arranged on the inner side of the first spacer layer 302, a cavity 304 is formed on the inner side of the second spacer layer 303, an insulating layer 308 is arranged between the water cooling plate 301 and the transformer body 1, a guide cavity 305 is opened inside the water cooling plate 301, a shunt pipe 309 is arranged on the top of the water cooling plate 301, and a cavity 304 is formed on the bottom of the water cooling plate 301. A water collecting tank 306 is provided, and a thermally conductive silicone sheet is used as the material of the first spacer layer 302, which is conducive to quickly transferring the heat accumulated on the heat sink 2 to the cooling water. The efficient thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive silicone sheet ensures the rapid transfer of heat, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, the insulating material characteristics of the thermally conductive silicone sheet effectively avoid the hazards that may be caused by the surface electrification of the transformer body 1 and the heat sink 2, thereby improving the safety of use. Together with the insulating layer 308, the water cooling mechanism 3 and the transformer body 1 are insulated and isolated, which not only further enhances the safety of use, but also provides more comprehensive protection for the transformer body 1.
[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 A water outlet pipe 307 is provided on one side of the water collecting tank 306, and the water outlet pipe 307 is connected to an external liquid cooling device through a liquid pump. The water outlet pipe 307 provided on one side of the water collecting tank 306 can effectively discharge the cooling water after absorbing heat through the water cooling mechanism 3, ensuring that the cooling water can flow out of the water cooling mechanism smoothly, avoiding the retention of cooling water inside the system, thereby ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the cooling system. At the same time, the water outlet pipe 307 is connected to the external liquid cooling device through a liquid pump, realizing the recycling of cooling water and rapid heat dissipation. The liquid pump provides power, so that the cooling water can be continuously transported to the external liquid cooling device for cooling treatment, and then flow back to the water cooling mechanism to continue to absorb heat. This circulation method not only improves the cooling efficiency, but also saves water resources, making the entire water cooling system more environmentally friendly and efficient.
[0033] See also Figure 1A water tank 4 is provided on one side of the shunt pipe 309 through a liquid pump, and a water inlet pipe 5 is provided on the top side of the water tank 4, which can ensure that cooling water can be stably and continuously supplied to the water cooling mechanism 3. The liquid pump draws cooling water from the water tank 4 and evenly distributes it to each water-cooled plate 301 through the shunt pipe 309, thereby achieving comprehensive and effective heat dissipation. At the same time, the water inlet pipe 5 provided on the top side of the water tank 4 allows cooling water to be easily added to the water tank, ensuring the continuous operation of the cooling system. In addition, through the connection with the external cooling device, the water inlet pipe 5 also has the task of returning the cooled cooling water to the water tank 4, thereby maintaining the low temperature state of the cooling water and improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 The water inlet pipe 5 is connected with the external liquid cooling device, the shunt pipe 309, the guide cavity 305 and the water collecting tank 306 are connected, ensuring that the cooling water can be cooled promptly and effectively after absorbing heat through the water cooling mechanism 3. The external liquid cooling device can quickly reduce the temperature of the cooling water and maintain its good heat dissipation performance, thereby continuously providing efficient cooling effect for the transformer. At the same time, the interconnected design of the shunt pipe 309, the guide cavity 305 and the water collecting tank 306 constitutes a complete cooling water circulation system. The shunt pipe 309 evenly distributes the cooling water to each water-cooled plate 301, the guide cavity 305 allows the cooling water to fully contact and absorb the heat generated by the transformer, and the water collecting tank 306 is responsible for collecting the cooling water after absorbing heat.
[0035] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 The material of the first spacer layer 302 is a thermally conductive silicone sheet, and the inner wall of the second spacer layer 303 is in contact with the heat sink 2. The material of the first spacer layer 302 is a thermally conductive silicone sheet, and its efficient thermal conductivity can quickly transfer the heat on the heat sink 2 to the water cooling mechanism 3, which ensures the rapid transfer of heat and effectively prevents heat from accumulating on the heat sink 2, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring the stable operation of the transformer. At the same time, the inner wall of the second spacer layer 303 is closely in contact with the heat sink 2, further enhancing the efficiency of heat transfer. By reducing the obstacles to heat transfer, the heat on the heat sink can be more smoothly transferred to the water cooling mechanism 3, and then carried away by the cooling water. This structure not only optimizes the heat dissipation path, but also effectively improves the performance of the overall heat dissipation system.
[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2There are two groups of water cooling mechanisms 3, which are distributed on the front and rear sides of the transformer body 1 respectively. Such a layout can effectively increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The two groups of water cooling mechanisms 3 can cover the transformer body 1 more comprehensively, ensuring that the heat of each part can be taken away in time to prevent heat from accumulating locally. At the same time, this distribution method also helps to maintain the temperature uniformity of the transformer body 1, avoiding the performance degradation or damage of the equipment due to local overheating. Through the dual heat dissipation guarantee on the front and rear sides, the service life of the transformer can be extended and the stability and reliability of its operation can be improved.
[0037] Embodiment 2:
[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The water-cooling mechanism 3 and the transformer body 1 are in a plug-in and detachable structure, which greatly facilitates the installation and disassembly process, simplifies the operation steps, improves work efficiency, and also provides convenience for later maintenance and replacement. At the same time, the plug-in and detachable structure also has good flexibility and scalability. When the water-cooling mechanism 3 needs to be upgraded or replaced, there is no need to make large-scale changes to the transformer body 1. It is only necessary to simply disassemble and replace the new water-cooling mechanism 3. This not only reduces the maintenance cost, but also reduces the impact on the transformer body caused by upgrading or repairing, thereby extending the service life of the transformer.
[0039] The implementation principle of the utility model is as follows: first, the cavity 304 is positioned opposite to the corresponding heat sink 2, and then the water cooling mechanism 3 and the transformer body 1 are installed by plugging. When the water cooling mechanism 3 is used to assist the heat dissipation of the heat sink 2, first, the cooling water inside the water storage tank 4 is transported to the inside of the shunt pipe 309 by a liquid pump, and then is shunted to the inside of each guide cavity 305 by the shunt pipe 309. At this time, the accumulated heat on the heat sink 2 is conducted to the inside of the guide cavity 305 through the second spacer layer 303 and the first spacer layer 302, and then is taken out of the guide cavity 305 by the flowing cooling water until it flows into the inside of the water collecting tank 306, which is conducive to the rapid and effective water cooling of the heat sink 2. After that, the cooling water is transported to the external liquid cooling device by a liquid pump to quickly dissipate the heat, and finally flows into the inside of the water storage tank 4 through the water inlet pipe 5 to complete the heat dissipation operation of the heat sink 2.
[0040] In this heat dissipation process, the first spacer layer 302 made of thermally conductive silicone sheet is used to quickly transfer the heat accumulated on the heat sink 2 to the cooling water, and cooperate with its insulating material properties to avoid further harm caused by the electrification of the transformer body 1 and the surface of the heat sink 2 during use, thereby improving its safety in use. At the same time, in cooperation with the insulating layer 308, the water cooling mechanism 3 is insulated and isolated from the transformer body 1, further improving its safety in use and the protection of the transformer body 1.
[0041] Parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by using the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
