Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas relays, in particular to a double-float gas relay. Background Art
[0002] A gas relay (also known as a gas relay) is a protective device used in transformers. It is installed in the pipeline between the transformer's oil conservator and oil tank. When an internal fault in the transformer causes oil decomposition to produce gas or causes oil flow surge, the gas relay contacts will operate, connecting the specified control circuit and promptly issuing a signal alarm (for light gas) or activating the protection element to automatically cut off the transformer (for heavy gas). The double-float gas relay is a type of gas relay and is also an indispensable protective device in substations. It is located in the pipeline between the transformer's oil conservator and oil tank. It responds to faults such as gas generated by equipment failure, insulation oil loss, and accelerated flow caused by sudden expansion of insulating oil, and initiates emergency measures.
[0003] Existing double-float gas relays typically have an observation window to facilitate observation of changes in the internal oil level, and a junction box is also typically provided for easier wiring. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN114050087A discloses a "new double-float gas relay device." This device replaces the traditional horizontal top junction box with a vertical junction box on the side of the device, avoiding serious hidden dangers such as false fault signal alarms and even circuit breaker tripping caused by moisture and condensation inside the junction box. Using a prismatic reflective concave lens, and leveraging the different refractive indices of air, organic glass, and transformer oil, optical principles are employed to improve oil level visibility, solving the problem of difficulty in determining whether the gas relay is fully filled or insufficiently filled due to the transparent and colorless transformer oil.
[0004] However, in actual use, many transformers are open-air structures, and the double-float gas relay installed on the transformer is also exposed to the environment and is exposed to wind, sun, wind and sand erosion, and is inevitably damaged. It will also be covered with mud, sand and bird droppings, affecting the observation of oil level. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art double-float gas relay, such as being damaged by wind and sun, erosion by wind and sand, and being clogged by mud, sand and bird droppings, which affects the observation of the oil amount, and to propose a double-float gas relay.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A double-float gas relay is designed, comprising a relay body, connecting portions fixedly provided on both sides of the relay body, an observation window provided on the relay body, a connecting piece provided on the relay body, a protective plate fixedly provided on the connecting piece, a protective cover fixedly provided on the lower end of the protective plate, a connecting groove provided on the protective cover to cooperate with the connecting portion, and an observation port provided on the protective cover to cooperate with the observation window;
[0008] A shield is movably connected to the observation port, and the shield is fastened to the protective plate through a connecting mechanism. An extension plate is fixedly provided on the observation port, and a baffle matched with the extension plate is fixedly provided on the shield.
[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of through slots are formed on the extension plate, elastic clips are fixedly provided in the through slots, and the elastic clips are in contact with the baffle.
[0010] Furthermore, the elastic clamp includes an elastic plate and a limiting portion fixedly arranged on the elastic plate, and the baffle is provided with a limiting hole corresponding to the limiting portion.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a guide rail fixedly provided on the protective plate, a positioning frame movably connected to the guide rail is fixedly provided on the shield, and a limiting plate cooperating with the shield is fixedly provided on the protective plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided on the limiting plate, a hand-tightened bolt threadably connected to the threaded hole is rotatably provided on the shield, and a pulling handle is fixedly provided on the shield.
[0013] Furthermore, the connecting member is a U-shaped bolt, both ends of which pass through the protective plate and are fixedly connected with ball nuts.
[0014] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly provided on the connecting member, and the upper end of the support plate is in contact with the inner wall of the protective plate.
[0015] The double-float gas relay proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In the present invention, by arranging a protective plate, a protective cover and a blocking cover, the main body, the connection part and the observation window of the gas relay are shielded and protected, separated from the external environment to avoid erosion by wind and sand, and at the same time, the observation window is prevented from being blocked by mud, sand, bird droppings, etc.
[0017] Secondly, in the present invention, the protective cover is connected to the shield by cooperating with the baffle through the extension plate, and the shield is fixed by setting an elastic clip to prevent the shield from falling off. In some extreme environments such as deserts where there is strong wind and sand, the shield is fixed by a connecting mechanism to make it firmly connected to the protective plate to prevent it from being blown off by the wind and sand.
