Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of transformers, and specifically refers to an oil drainage structure for a transformer oil tank. Background Technique
[0002] With the rapid development of the transformer industry, the capacity and volume of transformers are getting larger and larger. In order to control the transportation weight of transformers, nitrogen filling transportation is adopted, and the transformer oil needs to be drained and transported separately. Most existing transformer oil tanks use straight pipe joints to connect with oil pipelines, and the bottom transformer oil cannot be completely drained during oil drainage.
[0003] Patent No. CN112489953A discloses a transformer oil injection and drainage structure, including an oil drainage elbow. One end of the oil drainage elbow extending into the transformer oil tank is bent towards the bottom of the transformer oil tank, and the siphon phenomenon can be used to drain all the oil. However, since the oil drainage elbow and the transformer oil tank of this patent are fixedly welded, it is very difficult to disassemble, install and adjust the oil drainage elbow, and there will still be problems with welding slag residues when using the welding method. And one end of the oil drainage elbow located outside the transformer oil tank is perpendicular to the wall of the transformer oil tank. In this structure, when draining oil, the oil will spray horizontally, often spraying out of the oil pool, which is extremely likely to cause environmental pollution around and is inconvenient to use. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an oil drainage structure for a transformer oil tank, which has no welding structure during installation, is more convenient for disassembly, installation and adjustment, avoids the problem of welding slag residues, and can prevent transformer oil from spraying out of the oil pool, improving work efficiency.
[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions. An oil drainage structure for a transformer oil tank includes a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe respectively located inside and outside the side wall of the oil tank. The first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe are opposite to each other, and first flange plates and second flange plates are fixedly connected to the opposite ends respectively. The first flange plates and the second flange plates are both connected and fixed to the side wall of the oil tank through bolts. An oil drainage hole communicating with the inner cavities of the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe is opened on the side wall of the oil tank. The other end of the first connecting pipe is detachably connected with a 90° elbow. One end of the 90° elbow away from the first connecting pipe faces the bottom of the oil tank and is detachably connected with an adjusting pipe. The adjusting pipe extends vertically, and the distance between the lower end of the adjusting pipe and the bottom of the oil tank is 1 - 10 mm.
[0006] In this solution, the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe are bolted and fixed to the side wall of the oil tank through the first flange plates and the second flange plates, which is convenient for disassembly and installation. And welding operation is not required during installation, thus avoiding welding slag residues and making the inside of the oil tank cleaner. Moreover, the 90° elbow and the first connecting pipe are detachably connected, further improving the convenience of disassembly and installation. The 90° elbow and the adjusting pipe are detachable, so that it is convenient to replace adjusting pipes of different lengths, thereby realizing the adjustment of different distances and making the use and replacement more convenient.
[0007] As an optimization, both ends of the 90° elbow are threadedly connected to the first connecting pipe and the adjusting pipe respectively. This optimization realizes detachable connection through threaded connection. Threads are easy to machine and have low cost.
[0008] As an optimization, sealing gaskets are provided between the first flange, the second flange and the side wall of the fuel tank. This optimization improves the sealing performance between the flange and the side wall of the fuel tank through the sealing gasket, preventing oil leakage.
[0009] As an optimization, the outer gaps between the first flange, the second flange and the side wall of the fuel tank are sealed with sealant. This optimization seals the outer gaps with sealant, thereby further improving the sealing performance between the flange and the side wall of the fuel tank.
[0010] As an optimization, a ball valve is detachably connected to the other end of the second connecting pipe. This optimization facilitates the control of the oil discharge from the fuel tank through the ball valve.
[0011] As an optimization, a 45° elbow is detachably connected to the end of the ball valve away from the second connecting pipe, and the end of the 45° elbow away from the ball valve is bent downward. This optimization prevents the transformer oil from being sprayed horizontally out of the oil pool through the 45° elbow, avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment. At the same time, the 45° angle is also convenient for personnel to operate.
[0012] As an optimization, a third flange is fixedly connected to the other end of the second connecting pipe, a fourth flange is fixedly connected to the end of the 45° elbow, and fifth flanges are fixedly connected to both ends of the ball valve. The two fifth flanges are respectively connected and fixed to the third flange and the fourth flange by bolts. This optimization makes disassembly more convenient through flange bolt connection.
[0013] As an optimization, sealing gaskets are provided between the third flange and the fifth flange, and between the fourth flange and the fifth flange. This optimization improves the sealing performance between the flanges.
[0014] As an optimization, the sealing gasket is a corrugated metal gasket. This optimization has stronger sealing performance for the corrugated metal gasket, and the metal gasket has better corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance effects, which is more suitable for sealing oil-based media.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe are fixedly connected to the side wall of the fuel tank by bolts through the first flange and the second flange, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, and welding operation is not required during installation, thus avoiding the residue of welding slag and making the inside of the fuel tank cleaner. Moreover, the 90° elbow is detachably connected to the first connecting pipe, further improving the convenience of disassembly and installation. The 90° elbow and the adjusting pipe are detachable, so as to facilitate the replacement of adjusting pipes with different lengths, thereby realizing the adjustment of different spacings and making the use more convenient. The second connecting pipe is convenient for controlling the oil discharge of the fuel tank through a ball valve, and then the 45° elbow is used to prevent the transformer oil from spraying horizontally out of the oil pool, avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment. At the same time, the 45° angle is also convenient for personnel to operate, and the use effect is better. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Moreover, sealing gaskets 13 are provided between the third flange 10 and the fifth flange 11, and between the fourth flange 12 and the fifth flange 11, so as to ensure the sealing performance between the flanges. In this embodiment, the sealing gaskets 13 between the third flange and the fifth flange, and between the fourth flange and the fifth flange are also corrugated metal gaskets, with stronger sealing performance, better corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance effects, and are more suitable for sealing oil media.
[0028] Working principle: During installation, first, the first connecting pipe 2 and the second connecting pipe 3 are fixedly connected to the side wall 1 of the fuel tank by bolts through the first flange 4 and the second flange 5. Then, the 90° elbow 6 is fixedly connected to the first connecting pipe 2 by threading.
