Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transformers, in particular to a dry-type transformer. Background Art
[0002] A dry-type transformer is an electrical transformer that uses no oil as insulation or cooling medium. Instead, it relies primarily on air convection to dissipate heat. Compared to traditional oil-immersed transformers, dry-type transformers offer increased safety because they do not involve flammable materials, reducing the risk of fire and explosion. Furthermore, dry-type transformers have lower maintenance costs because they do not require the regular replacement of insulating oil required for oil-immersed transformers.
[0003] Dry-type transformers are typically used in indoor environments with high fire protection requirements, such as commercial centers, hospitals, high-rise buildings, and subway stations. They are also suitable for applications where space is limited or low noise levels are required. Dry-type transformers are typically made of resin-based insulation materials, which maintain excellent electrical and mechanical properties throughout the transformer's service life, resisting aging, shrinkage, and compression.
[0004] Conventional dry-type transformers typically use fans to slowly guide the air around them, allowing the flowing air to remove the heat generated by the dry-type transformer. However, this heat dissipation efficiency is relatively low. For dry-type transformers that maintain high temperatures and continuously generate heat, this can only prevent further damage to the dry-type transformer. The continued high temperature will still cause damage to the dry-type transformer's structure, ultimately shortening its service life.
[0005] Therefore, a dry-type transformer is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a dry-type transformer.
[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] A dry-type transformer includes a base frame, a plurality of iron core windings arranged on the base frame, and a heat-conducting sleeve arranged on the base frame and sleeved on the iron core windings. The base frame is provided with an air inlet assembly and an air outlet assembly located on both sides of the heat-conducting sleeve, respectively. The air outlet assembly guides air from the air inlet assembly through the heat-conducting sleeve and then out of the air outlet assembly. The air flow rate in the heat-conducting sleeve is greater than the air flow rate at the air outlet of the air outlet assembly and the air inlet of the air inlet assembly.
[0009] Preferably, there is a gap between the inner ring of the heat-conducting sleeve and the outer ring of the iron core winding.
[0010] Preferably, the horizontal cross-section of the heat-conducting sleeve is olive-shaped, and the width of the gap between the inner ring of the heat-conducting sleeve and the outer ring of the core winding is gradually reduced from both ends to the middle of the heat-conducting sleeve.
[0011] Preferably, the air intake assembly includes several air intake branch pipes connected to the heat-conducting sleeve, several air intake main pipes connected to the several air intake branch pipes, air intake ducts connected to the several air intake main pipes, a reduced-end pipe connected to the air intake duct, and an air intake thick pipe connected to the reduced-end pipe. A support frame is fixedly connected to the base frame, and the air intake thick pipe is fixedly connected to the support frame.
[0012] Preferably, the gas outlet assembly includes several gas outlet branches connected to the heat-conducting sleeve, several gas outlet main pipes connected to the several gas outlet branch pipes, gas outlet ducts connected to the several gas outlet main pipes, flared pipes connected to the gas outlet ducts, and gas outlet thick pipes connected to the flared pipes.
[0013] Preferably, the air outlet assembly further includes a solenoid valve connected to the air outlet thick pipe, an air pump fixedly connected to the base frame and connected to the air outlet thick pipe, and a servo motor transmission-connected to the input end of the air pump.
[0014] Preferably, the device further includes a temperature control circuit, which includes a temperature sensor, a voltage comparison circuit, and a controller. The probe of the temperature sensor is in contact with the outer wall of the thermal sleeve. The temperature sensor collects the temperature of the thermal sleeve and outputs a temperature signal. The input end of the voltage comparison circuit is coupled to the output end of the temperature sensor. After the voltage comparison circuit responds to the temperature signal and the temperature signal is greater than a preset temperature reference signal, it outputs a comparison signal. The input end of the controller is coupled to the output end of the voltage comparison circuit. The output end of the controller is coupled to the solenoid valve and the servo motor. The controller controls the operation of the servo motor and the solenoid valve in response to the comparison signal.
[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In the operation of the present invention, the temperature sensor is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the thermal sleeve. When the core winding of the dry-type transformer is energized, the heat generated is transferred through the gap of the thermal sleeve. The temperature sensor detects this temperature change and converts it into an electrical signal and sends it to the voltage comparison circuit. The circuit compares the received voltage with the preset reference voltage. Once it is detected that the actual voltage exceeds the reference, it indicates that the temperature has risen. At this time, the voltage comparator will send a signal to the controller. After receiving the signal, the controller will start the solenoid valve and servo motor to allow air to enter the thermal sleeve through the air intake assembly. The air flow path starts from the air intake pipe, passes through the shrinking pipe and the air intake duct, and finally enters the thermal sleeve. During this process, the support frame ensures the stability of the system. The air accelerates in the thermal sleeve, takes away the heat generated by the core winding, and then is discharged through the air outlet system. This design effectively prevents overheating of the core winding and extends the service life of the transformer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] A dry-type transformer, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a base frame 1, a plurality of iron core windings arranged on the base frame 1, and a heat-conducting sleeve 2 arranged on the base frame 1 and sleeved on the iron core windings. The base frame 1 is respectively provided with an air inlet component and an air outlet component located on both sides of the heat-conducting sleeve 2. The air outlet component guides air from the air inlet component through the heat-conducting sleeve 2 and then out of the air outlet component. The air flow rate in the heat-conducting sleeve 2 is greater than the air flow rate at the air outlet of the air outlet component and the air inlet of the air inlet component. There is a gap between the inner ring of the heat-conducting sleeve 2 and the outer ring of the iron core winding. The horizontal cross-section of the heat-conducting sleeve 2 is olive-shaped. The width of the gap between the inner ring of the heat-conducting sleeve 2 and the outer ring of the iron core winding is gradually reduced from the two ends of the heat-conducting sleeve 2 to the middle.
[0028] The air intake assembly includes several air intake branch pipes 8 connected to the heat-conducting sleeve 2, several air intake main pipes 7 connected to the several air intake branch pipes 8, an air intake duct 6 connected to the several air intake main pipes 7, a reduced end pipe 5 connected to the air intake duct 6, and an air intake thick pipe 3 connected to the reduced end pipe 5. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the base frame 1, and the air intake thick pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the support frame 4.
[0029] The air outlet assembly includes several air outlet branch pipes 9 connected to the heat-conducting sleeve 2, several air outlet main pipes 10 connected to the several air outlet branch pipes 9, an air outlet duct 11 connected to the several air outlet main pipes 10, an expansion pipe 12 connected to the air outlet duct 11, an air outlet thick pipe 13 connected to the expansion pipe 12, an electromagnetic valve 14 connected to the air outlet thick pipe 13, an air pump 15 fixedly connected to the base frame 1 and connected to the air outlet thick pipe 13, and a servo motor 16 transmission connected to the input end of the air pump 15.
[0030] It also includes a temperature control circuit, which includes a temperature sensor, a voltage comparison circuit, and a controller. The probe of the temperature sensor is in contact with the outer wall of the thermal sleeve 2. The temperature sensor collects the temperature of the thermal sleeve 2 and outputs a temperature signal. The input end of the voltage comparison circuit is coupled to the output end of the temperature sensor. The voltage comparison circuit responds to the temperature signal and outputs a comparison signal after the temperature signal is greater than a preset temperature reference signal. The input end of the controller is coupled to the output end of the voltage comparison circuit. The output end of the controller is coupled to the solenoid valve 14 and the servo motor 16. The controller controls the servo motor 16 and the solenoid valve 14 to operate in response to the comparison signal.
[0031] When the present invention is actually applied, the temperature of the heat-conducting sleeve 2 is detected by the temperature sensor. Only when the core winding of the dry-type transformer is energized and heated, the core winding generates heat and is transferred to the heat-conducting sleeve 2 through the gap. The temperature sensor detects the temperature on the heat-conducting sleeve 2 and outputs a temperature signal to the voltage comparison circuit. The voltage comparison circuit can compare the voltage of the temperature signal with the reference voltage of the temperature reference signal. After determining that the voltage of the temperature signal is greater than the reference voltage of the temperature reference signal, the voltage comparison circuit including the voltage comparator outputs a comparison signal to the controller. The controller can control the solenoid valve 14 to energize, thereby making the air outlet pipe 13 conductive. At the same time, the controller also controls the servo motor 16 to work. The output shaft of the servo motor 16 drives the vacuum pump 15 to work, thereby guiding the air to flow. The air enters the air intake duct 6, the air intake main pipe 7, and the air intake branch pipe 8 in this order through the air intake thick pipe 3 and the shrinking pipe 5, and then flows into the heat-conducting sleeve 2. The setting of the support frame 4 can prevent the air from shaking when it flows quickly into the shrinking pipe 5 and the air intake thick pipe 3. Since the width of the gap between the heat-conducting sleeve 2 and the iron core winding changes, the air flow can become faster and then slow down when it passes through the air outlet branch pipe 9. Finally, the hot air leaves through the air outlet main pipe 10, the air outlet duct 11, the expanding pipe 12, and the air outlet thick pipe 13 in this order, so that the fast-flowing air can quickly take away the heat generated on the iron core winding, avoiding the temperature of the iron core winding from being continuously high. Ultimately, the dry-type transformer is not easily damaged due to continuous high temperature and can maintain a longer service life.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
