Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of current transformers, in particular to a heat dissipation device for a current transformer. Background Art

[0002] The principle of current transformer is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The current transformer is composed of a closed iron core and a winding. Its primary winding has few turns and is connected in series in the circuit of the current to be measured, so it often has the entire current of the circuit flowing through it. The secondary winding has more turns and is connected in series in the measuring instrument and the protection circuit. When the current transformer is working, its secondary circuit is always closed, so the impedance of the series coil of the measuring instrument and the protection circuit is very small, and the working state of the current transformer is close to a short circuit. After the existing current transformer has been used for a period of time, its body will generate heat, which will have a certain impact on the winding or passing wires, which is not conducive to wire transmission.

The utility model facilitates the rubber ring with good flexibility to be directly stuck on the current transformer through the rubber ring and the device box, and at the same time, by starting the driving motor inside the device box, it drives the fan blades to rotate, and the gas outside the box body is extracted through the fan blades and transported to the inside of the rubber ring, so that the gas inside the rubber ring dissipates heat to the body of the current transformer through the air outlet holes on its inner ring surface, and the device has the effect of dissipating heat to the current transformer.

[0004] The heat dissipation device of the current transformer involved in the above patent can only dissipate heat for the outer ring of the current transformer, while the inner ring cannot dissipate heat effectively. The uneven heat dissipation may lead to the problem of local heating. Therefore, we need to propose a heat dissipation device for the current transformer. 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] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The utility model provides a heat dissipation device for a current transformer, including a current transformer body 1, a mounting frame 2 is arranged at the bottom of the current transformer body 1, mounting components are arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 2, and the mounting components include mounting plates 14 fixedly mounted on the bottom of both sides of the mounting frame 2, and mounting grooves 15 are opened on the surface of the mounting plate 14.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 2 is arranged at the bottom of the current transformer body 1. When the current transformer body 1 needs to be installed at the use position, the user can move the current transformer body 1 and place the mounting frame 2 at the bottom thereof at the installation position. Then, the user can insert the bolts into the installation grooves 15 to lock and fix the mounting plate 14 at the installation position, thereby installing and fixing the use position of the device.

[0028] Preferably, a U-shaped cooling tube 3 is inserted into the surface array of the current transformer body 1, and two groups of annular positioning frames 6 are fixedly installed on the surface of the current transformer body 1. The top of the mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular positioning frame 6. The surface of the annular positioning frame 6 is provided with a cooling tube positioning hole 7 that is compatible with the U-shaped cooling tube 3. The surface of the U-shaped cooling tube 3 fits with the inner wall of the cooling tube positioning hole 7. An annular connecting tube 4 is provided on the back of the current transformer body 1, and one end of the U-shaped cooling tube 3 is connected to the surface of the annular connecting tube 4.

[0029] Design and installation of U-shaped cooling pipe

[0030] First, a plurality of U-shaped cooling tubes 3 are inserted in an array on the surface of the current transformer body 1. This design utilizes the natural loop characteristics of the U-shaped tube, which not only increases the contact area between the cooling medium (such as water or special coolant) and the surface of the current transformer heat source, but also promotes the effective transfer of heat energy. The U-shaped cooling tubes 3 are made of high thermal conductivity materials, such as copper or aluminum alloy, to enhance the heat exchange efficiency. They are precisely positioned in the area of ​​the current transformer body that needs heat dissipation the most to ensure that the heat can be quickly taken away.

[0031] Function and implementation of annular positioning frame

[0032] In order to ensure the stable installation and precise alignment of the U-shaped cooling tube 3, two groups of annular positioning frames 6 are fixedly installed on the surface of the current transformer body 1. These positioning frames are made of high-strength engineering plastics or metal materials, which are both light and durable. They are firmly connected to the body through fasteners such as bolts. The bottom of the annular positioning frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top of a mounting frame 2, and this mounting frame serves as a supporting structure to enhance the overall mechanical stability. More importantly, the surface of the annular positioning frame 6 is carefully designed with cooling tube positioning holes 7 that accurately match the shape of the U-shaped cooling tube 3. Each positioning hole 7 fits tightly with the contour of the U-shaped cooling tube 3, ensuring the stability and sealing of the cooling tube during operation and avoiding displacement or leakage problems caused by vibration.

[0033] Integration of annular connecting pipes

[0034] On the back of the current transformer body 1, there is a ring connecting pipe 4, which serves as the collection point of the U-shaped cooling pipe 3 to realize the circulation of the coolant. One end of the U-shaped cooling pipe 3 is connected to the surface of the ring connecting pipe 4 by welding, threaded connection or other reliable sealing methods, forming a closed cooling circuit. Such a design simplifies the wiring of the cooling system and improves the reliability and maintenance convenience of the system.

[0035] By setting the positioning frame, the U-shaped cooling tube 3 is installed in the cooling tube positioning hole 7, and the positioning frame is installed on the surface of the current transformer body 1, so as to achieve the purpose of installing and fixing the U-shaped cooling tube 3 on the surface of the current transformer body 1. When installing the U-shaped cooling tube 3, the user can insert one end of the U-shaped cooling tube into the inner cavity of the cooling tube positioning hole 7, and then connect one end of the U-shaped cooling tube 3 to the annular connecting tube 4.

[0036] Among them, the inner circle of the current transformer body 1 is provided with a fixed tube 16, and the outer wall of the fixed tube 16 is equidistantly fixedly installed with heat sinks 17, and the U-shaped cooling tube 3 is arranged on the inner side of two adjacent groups of heat sinks 17. Through the coordinated use of the fixed tube 16 and the heat sink 17, the heat of the inner circle of the current transformer body 1 will be transferred to the heat sink 17 and the outer wall of the fixed tube 16, and the surface of the U-shaped cooling tube 3 is in contact with the outer wall of the fixed tube 16 and the surface of the heat sink 17, which can expand the cooling area and improve the heat dissipation effect. In this embodiment, the side of the heat sink 17 away from the fixed tube 16 is fixedly connected to the inner circle of the current transformer body 1, and it can be connected by welding.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that a cooling box 5 is installed in the inner cavity of the mounting frame 2, and a semiconductor refrigeration plate 13 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the cooling box 5. The heat dissipation end of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 13 passes through the cooling box 5 and extends to the outside of the cooling box 5. An air intake assembly is arranged on one side of the cooling box 5, and the air intake assembly is connected to the annular connecting pipe 4. The air intake assembly includes a cooling elbow 8 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the cooling box 5, and the cooling elbow 8 is arranged in a spiral shape. Both ends of the cooling elbow 8 pass through the cooling box 5 and extend to the outside of the cooling box 5. A fan 9 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting frame 2 and on one side of the cooling box 5. The air intake end of the fan 9 is connected to one end of the cooling elbow 8, and the exhaust end of the fan 9 is connected to a conveying pipe 10. One end of the conveying pipe 10 passes through the mounting frame 2 and extends to the outside of the mounting frame 2 and is connected to the surface of the annular connecting pipe 4. A through hole 18 adapted to the conveying pipe 10 is opened on one side of the mounting frame 2, and one end of the conveying pipe 10 passes through the through hole 18 and extends to the outside of the mounting frame 2.

[0038] By setting the semiconductor cooling sheet 13, the medium in the cooling box 5 can be cooled. By setting the air intake assembly, the fan 9 can draw the external air into the cooling elbow 8, and the cold medium in the cooling box 5 cools the air in the cooling elbow 8. The cooled air is drawn out by the fan 9 and delivered to the U-shaped cooling tube 3 through the delivery pipe 10 and the annular connecting pipe 4. When the cold air flows through the U-shaped cooling tube 3, it will take away the heat on the inner and outer ring surfaces of the current transformer body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation. By setting the through hole 18, an interlaced space can be provided for the delivery pipe 10, and one end of the delivery pipe 10 will pass through the through hole 18 and reach the outside of the mounting frame 2. In addition, the heat dissipation end of the semiconductor cooling sheet 13 in this embodiment is located outside the cooling box 5 to prevent its heat dissipation from affecting the cooling of the medium inside the cooling box 5. In this embodiment, the cooling elbow 8 is arranged in a spiral shape, which can expand the contact area with the cold medium inside the cooling box 5, thereby improving the cooling effect on the air in the cooling elbow 8.

[0039] Furthermore, a filter assembly is provided at one end of the cooling elbow 8, and the filter assembly includes a filter shell 11 fixedly installed on one side of the cooling box 5. One end of the cooling elbow 8 is connected to the surface of the filter shell 11, and a filter screen 12 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the filter shell 11. Through the setting of the filter assembly, the extracted air can be filtered to prevent external dust or debris from being drawn into the cooling elbow 8. When the air flows through the filter shell 11, the filter screen 12 can filter the air and filter and retain the dust or debris carried in the air. In this embodiment, the filter screen 12 is installed in the inner cavity of the filter shell 11 by means of a snap connection or a bolt connection. This connection method can facilitate the disassembly of the filter screen 12, and the user can regularly disassemble and clean the filter screen 12.

[0040] Furthermore, one side of the cooling box 5 is connected to a filling pipe 19, and a pipe cover 20 is provided at one end of the filling pipe 19. The provision of the filling pipe 19 can facilitate the user to fill the interior of the cooling box 5 with medium water. The provision of the pipe cover 20 can seal the filling pipe 19 to prevent external dust or debris from entering the interior of the cooling box 5. In this embodiment, the pipe cover 20 is installed at one end of the filling pipe 19 by threaded connection or plug-in connection.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
