The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above drawings are used to distinguish different objects and not to describe a specific order.
[0021] Reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The phrase does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment when it appears in various places in the specification, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a sealing device for a transformer oil tank, as Figures 1-4 shown, including an oil tank body 1; a connecting eaves 2 provided at the top of the oil tank body 1; a tank cover 3 provided above the connecting eaves 2; a connecting mechanism provided between the connecting eaves 2 and the tank cover 3; the connecting mechanism includes: an annular limiting groove 4 provided at the top of the connecting eaves 2, the limiting groove 4 being circumferentially distributed along the edge of the oil tank body 1; a plurality of return springs 5 provided at the bottom side of the limiting groove 4; a damper provided in the plurality of return springs 5; a sealing washer 6 provided at the top of the plurality of return springs 5; a limiting protrusion 7 provided on the side of the tank cover 3 opposite to the sealing washer 6, the limiting protrusion 7 being annularly arranged.
[0023] It should be noted that, due to the problems of poor sealing effect and difficult installation and maintenance often existing in traditional fuel tank sealing devices, this solution realizes the efficient sealing of the fuel tank and greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance process. Specifically, this device utilizes the close fit of the sealing gasket 6 and the limiting protrusion 7, as well as the combined action of the return spring 5 and the damper, to ensure that the sealing gasket 6 always maintains sufficient contact pressure, thereby effectively preventing oil leakage. At the same time, the design of the sealing block 8 and the connecting rod 11 also fully considers the convenience of installation and the reliability of sealing, making the entire sealing device more stable and reliable during use.
[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, this solution mainly includes a fuel tank body 1; a connecting eaves 2 provided at the top of the fuel tank body 1; a tank cover 3 provided above the connecting eaves 2; a connecting mechanism provided between the connecting eaves 2 and the tank cover 3; First of all, the core components of the sealing device include the fuel tank body 1, the connecting eaves 2, the tank cover 3 and the connecting mechanism; The connecting mechanism further includes an annular limiting groove 4, a return spring 5, a damper and a sealing gasket 6; These components work together to ensure the sealing performance of the fuel tank; When the tank cover 3 is placed on the connecting eaves 2, the limiting protrusion 7 contacts the sealing gasket 6; At this time, the sealing gasket 6 is pressed by the limiting protrusion 7 and compresses the return spring 5 downward; The design of the return spring 5 enables the sealing gasket 6 to provide a certain buffer when under pressure and maintain sufficient contact pressure to ensure the sealing effect;
[0025] Inside the return spring 5, the damper plays an important role; The damper can reduce the vibration and impact of the sealing gasket 6 when under pressure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the seal; It helps to control the compression speed of the sealing gasket 6 and prevent poor sealing caused by too fast or too slow compression; The design of the annular limiting groove 4 ensures that the sealing gasket 6 and the return spring 5 can be stably installed on the connecting eaves 2 and are circumferentially distributed along the edge of the fuel tank body 1, thereby achieving uniform sealing of the entire connecting eaves 2;
[0026] When the tank cover 3 is completely closed, the sealing gasket 6 is in close contact with the limiting protrusion 7, forming an effective sealing interface; The elastic force of the return spring 5 ensures that the sealing gasket 6 always maintains sufficient pressure to resist the influence of external pressure changes or temperature fluctuations on the sealing effect;
[0027] Generally speaking, this sealing device for the transformer fuel tank realizes the efficient sealing of the fuel tank through the coordinated action of each component; It can effectively prevent oil leakage, improve the working efficiency and working life of the transformer, and at the same time avoid the environmental pollution and resource waste that may be caused by oil leakage.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, such as Figures 1-3As shown, it further includes a number of seals, and the seals include: a sealing block 8 provided on the connecting eaves 2 and the outer side of the tank cover 3, and the cross-section of the sealing block 8 is arranged as a rectangle with an open notch; a reserved hole 9 penetrating through the upper position of the sealing block 8; an inner spiral groove 10 is provided in the reserved hole 9; a connecting rod 11 provided in the reserved hole 9; an outer spiral groove 12 provided on the outer side of the connecting rod 11, and the connecting rod 11 is in threaded fit with the reserved hole 9.
[0029] In this embodiment, as the tank cover 3 gradually closes with the fuel tank body 1, the open notch of the sealing block 8 is cleverly arranged at the outer edges of the connecting eaves 2 and the tank cover 3; this design of the open notch not only greatly facilitates the installation and disassembly operations of the sealing block 8, but also can effectively absorb and adapt to the possible minor deformations between the connecting eaves 2 and the tank cover 3 to a certain extent, thus significantly improving the overall sealing performance;
[0030] During the assembly process, the connecting rod 11 is accurately inserted into the reserved hole 9; at this time, the outer spiral groove 12 on the connecting rod 11 is closely matched with the inner spiral groove 10 in the reserved hole 9 to form a firm threaded connection; this way of spiral connection not only ensures the close fit between the connecting rod 11 and the sealing block 8, but also can effectively prevent the leakage of oil or other substances from the connection.
[0031] When the sealing device starts to work, the connecting rod 11 will be further screwed into the reserved hole 9 until it reaches the predetermined tightening degree; during this process, the sealing block 8 will form a solid and effective sealing surface between the connecting eaves 2 and the tank cover 3, thereby tightly preventing the leakage of oil.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the seal further includes: an abutting block 13 provided on the bottom side of the connecting rod 11; a rubber pad 14 provided on the bottom side of the abutting block 13.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the connecting rod 11 is tightened, the abutting block 13 will closely fit on the corresponding position of the sealing block 8 or the fuel tank, further enhancing the sealing effect. On the bottom side of the abutting block 13, a rubber pad 14 is also provided. The rubber pad 14 has good elasticity and sealing performance, and can form an additional sealing layer between the abutting block 13 and the sealing block 8 or the fuel tank. In this way, even if minor displacements occur between the connecting eaves 2 and the tank cover 3 due to temperature changes or mechanical vibrations during the working process, the rubber pad 14 can effectively absorb these displacements and maintain the tightness of the seal.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-3 shown, it further includes a fastening nut 15, and the fastening nut 15 is provided at the upper position of the connecting rod 11 and is in threaded fit with it.
[0035] In this embodiment, as the fastening nut 15 is tightened, the connecting rod 11 will be subjected to a greater downward pressure, which makes the contact between the sealing block 8 and the connecting eaves 2 and the box cover 3 closer, reducing the possibility of leakage of oil or other substances.
[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the winding ratio of the inner spiral groove 10 is the same as that of the outer spiral groove 12.
[0037] In this embodiment, the consistency of the winding ratio ensures that the inner spiral groove 10 and the outer spiral groove 12 can match and coordinate with each other in terms of structure and function. This design helps the inner spiral groove 10 and the outer spiral groove 12 to smoothly engage with each other during the process of screwing the connecting rod 11 into the reserved hole 9, forming a stable threaded connection.
[0038] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, anti-slip patterns are provided on the rubber pad 14.
[0039] In this embodiment, the anti-slip patterns can increase the contact area and contact points between the contact surface with the limiting protrusion 7, thereby increasing the friction force. This increased friction force helps prevent the object from sliding on the rubber pad 14 and improves the stability.
[0040] Working principle: First, when the box cover 3 starts to gradually close with the fuel tank body 1, the limiting protrusion 7 contacts the sealing washer 6; the sealing washer 6 is subjected to pressure and starts to compress the return spring 5 downward; the design of the return spring 5 enables the sealing washer 6 to provide a certain buffer when subjected to pressure and maintain sufficient contact pressure to ensure the sealing effect;
[0041] Inside the return spring 5, the damper plays a key role; it can reduce the vibration and impact of the sealing washer 6 when subjected to pressure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the seal; the damper helps control the compression speed of the sealing washer 6 to prevent poor sealing caused by too fast or too slow compression; at the same time, the limiting groove 4 ensures that the sealing washer 6 and the return spring 5 can be stably installed on the connecting eaves 2 and are circumferentially distributed along the edge of the fuel tank body 1, realizing uniform sealing of the entire connecting eaves 2;
[0042] When the box cover 3 is completely closed, the sealing washer 6 fits tightly with the limiting protrusion 7, forming an effective sealing interface; at this time, the elastic force of the return spring 5 ensures that the sealing washer 6 always maintains sufficient pressure to resist the influence of external pressure changes or temperature fluctuations on the sealing effect;
[0043] In addition, a sealing block 8 is provided at the outer edge connecting the eaves 2 and the box cover 3; this design not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the sealing block 8, but also can effectively absorb and adapt to the possible minute deformations, thereby enhancing the sealing performance; after placing the sealing block 8, the connecting rod 11 is accurately inserted into the reserved hole 9; the outer spiral groove 12 on the connecting rod 11 closely cooperates with the inner spiral groove 10 in the reserved hole 9 to form a firm threaded connection; this spiral connection method ensures the close fit between the connecting rod 11 and the sealing block 8, effectively preventing oil leakage;
[0044] As the connecting rod 11 is further screwed in, the sealing block 8 forms a solid sealing surface between the connecting eaves 2 and the box cover 3; at the same time, the abutting block 13 closely fits on the corresponding position of the sealing block 8 or the fuel tank, further enhancing the sealing effect; the rubber pad 14 on the bottom side of the abutting block 13 provides an additional sealing layer, which can absorb minute displacements and maintain the tightness of the seal;
[0045] Importantly, the winding ratio of the inner spiral groove 10 and the outer spiral groove 12 is the same, which ensures that they can match and coordinate with each other in terms of structure and function; this design enables the inner spiral groove 10 and the outer spiral groove 12 to smoothly engage with each other when the connecting rod 11 is screwed into the reserved hole 9, forming a stable threaded connection;
[0046] Finally, by tightening the fastening nut 15, the connecting rod 11 is subjected to a greater downward pressure, making the contact between the sealing block 8 and the connecting eaves 2 and the box cover 3 closer, further reducing the possibility of leakage; through the collaborative action of each component, the entire sealing device achieves efficient sealing of the fuel tank, ensuring the working efficiency, working life of the transformer, and environmental safety.
