Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural oil circulation transformers, in particular to the field of transformer heat dissipation, and specifically refers to a connecting pipe structure connecting a plate-type radiator and an oil tank. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of power transformers, a large amount of heat will be generated due to the power conversion and electromagnetic induction of internal windings, cores and other components. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, the temperature of the transformer will rise, which will affect the performance and service life of its insulation materials, and may even cause thermal failures or safety accidents. Therefore, for transformers, an effective heat dissipation mechanism is one of the key factors to ensure its safe and stable operation. The natural oil circulation transformer is a transformer that uses the natural circulation of the oil inside the transformer and the cooling effect of the air to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation. When the internal windings, cores and other components of the transformer generate heat, this heat will be transferred to the transformer oil. As the oil temperature rises, the volume of the oil will expand, resulting in natural convection.

[0003] For natural oil circulation transformers, oil flow is a forced flow caused by density changes caused by temperature. In the prior art, the liquid inlet of the radiator is generally connected to the middle section of the oil tank, and the oil flow speed is low, resulting in poor heat dissipation effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a connecting pipe structure for connecting a plate-type radiator and an oil tank, thereby improving the overall oil flow condition inside the transformer and increasing the effect of convection heat exchange.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme, which provides a connecting pipe structure for connecting a plate-type radiator and an oil tank, including an oil outlet pipe connected to the top surface of the oil tank, the oil outlet pipe is connected to the liquid inlet of the radiator, the middle section of the oil tank is connected to a return pipe, the return pipe is connected to the liquid outlet of the radiator, the oil outlet pipe includes a pipe body, a main road connected to the oil tank is opened on the pipe body, the main road is connected to a plurality of diversion holes opened on the pipe body, and the diversion holes are connected to the radiator.

[0006] The utility model opens a hole at the top of the oil tank and arranges an oil outlet pipe, so that the oil at the highest temperature rise point inside the transformer can directly flow into the plate-type radiator for heat exchange, and the high-temperature oil can be discharged and cooled more quickly. The center position of the radiator heat dissipation is raised, and the gravitational potential energy of the oil in the radiator increases with the increase of the radiator height, the flow velocity of the oil flow in the vertical direction of the radiator increases, the heat exchange capacity increases, and the increase in potential energy increases the flow velocity of the oil flow at the lower end of the radiator, which promotes the increase of the oil flow velocity at the bottom of the transformer, improves the overall oil flow condition inside the transformer, and increases the effect of convective heat exchange. At the same time, the arrangement of the diversion hole further increases the flow velocity of the oil entering the radiator.

[0007] As an optimization, a support frame fixedly connected to the radiator is installed on the fuel tank, and the oil outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the support frame. With this optimization, it is fixedly connected between the fuel tank and the radiator, providing a stable support for the oil outlet pipe, preventing deformation or loosening caused by oil flow pressure or external factors, and enhancing the structural stability.

[0008] As an optimization, the support frame includes a fixing plate fixedly connected to the fuel tank. A cross plate is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The cross plate extends to the radiator and is fixedly connected to the radiator. A number of inclined brackets are fixedly connected to the cross plate, and the outer wall of the oil outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inclined brackets. With this optimization, the fixing plate ensures a firm connection between the support frame and the fuel tank. The cross plate not only enhances the support strength but also serves as a bridge connecting the radiator. The inclined brackets further stabilize the oil outlet pipe.

[0009] As an optimization, the pipe body includes a vertical pipe, an arc pipe, and a horizontal pipe. The vertical pipe is connected to the horizontal pipe through the arc pipe. The vertical pipe is fixedly connected to the fuel tank, and the horizontal pipe is fixedly connected to the radiator. With this optimization, it not only ensures an effective connection between the oil outlet pipe and the fuel tank and the radiator but also reduces the resistance of the oil flow at the turning point through the design of the arc pipe, improving the smoothness of the oil flow.

[0010] As an optimization, there are two inclined brackets. The two inclined brackets are respectively a front inclined bracket and a rear inclined bracket. The front inclined bracket is fixedly connected to the front end of the oil outlet pipe, and the rear inclined bracket is fixedly connected to the rear end of the oil outlet pipe. With this optimization, the oil outlet pipe is supported from the front and rear directions, further enhancing the stability of the support structure.

[0011] As an optimization, a reinforcing plate is installed on the fuel tank, and the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the return pipe. With this optimization, the strength of the return pipe and its surrounding structure is enhanced, preventing damage to the structure caused by the pressure generated by the oil fluid flow.

[0012] As an optimization, through holes are formed in the cross plate, and the inner wall of the through holes is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod of the radiator. With this optimization, it facilitates the connection between the cross plate and the support rod of the radiator, enhances the connection strength between the radiator and the fuel tank, and ensures the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Through the carefully designed oil outlet pipe and diversion holes, the high-temperature oil inside the transformer can quickly flow into the radiator for heat exchange, significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, a stable support frame structure is adopted, including a combination of a fixed plate, a horizontal plate, and an inclined support, ensuring the stable connection of the oil outlet pipe with the fuel tank and the radiator, enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure; The height of the radiator and the height of the heat dissipation center of the present utility model are significantly increased, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet oil will inevitably decrease, that is, the oil flow rate will increase significantly. At the same time, the oil at the highest temperature rise at the top of the fuel tank can flow fully, and the top layer oil temperature of the final heat dissipation effect will be significantly reduced, and the average temperature rise of the internal winding will also decrease.

The main channel 52 communicates with a number of shunt holes 53 opened on the pipe body 51. The shunt holes are opened on the right end face of the horizontal pipe and extend in the left-right direction. The number of shunt holes is divided into two groups. The two groups of shunt holes are distributed radially along the horizontal pipe. The shunt holes in the same group are distributed circumferentially along the horizontal pipe. The shunt holes 53 communicate with the liquid inlet pipe of the radiator.

[0023] A number of inclined brackets 6 are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 7. The inclined supports extend obliquely upward. The outer wall of the oil outlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the inclined brackets 6. There are two inclined brackets. The two inclined brackets are a front inclined bracket and a rear inclined bracket respectively. The front inclined bracket is fixedly connected to the front end of the oil outlet pipe.

After being cooled by the radiator, the flowing oil flows back to the fuel tank from the liquid outlet of the radiator.
