AI Technical Summary
Existing oil-immersed transformers mainly use pointer-type oil level gauges, which leads to a mismatch between the measured oil level and the actual value. This makes it difficult to safely, quickly, and accurately verify the true oil level in the oil tank in emergency situations, resulting in safety hazards such as false alarms and accidental shutdowns.
An oil level verification device for an oil-immersed transformer was designed, including a support assembly and a measuring assembly. By using the support and a floating ball inside the measuring tube, combined with the principle of communicating vessels, the height of the oil in the measuring tube is measured. The oil level is read using an indicator mark and a measuring tape to ensure the accuracy of the oil level verification.
It enables rapid and accurate verification of the oil level in the transformer oil conservator in emergency situations, avoiding false alarms and accidental shutdowns, and improving the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer oil level verification technology, specifically to an oil-immersed transformer oil level verification device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the power industry primarily uses pointer-type oil level gauges for oil-immersed transformers. Because these equipment are often outdoors, they are susceptible to various factors, leading to discrepancies between the gauge readings and the actual levels. During high-load operation, maintenance personnel struggle to accurately determine the true oil level in the transformer's conservator. Internal malfunctions in the level gauge can cause false alarms and premature shutdowns, posing a significant safety hazard to the transformer's safe operation. Therefore, how to safely, quickly, and accurately determine the true oil level in the transformer's conservator during emergencies is a crucial technical problem that power industry equipment maintenance personnel must solve.

[0021] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 This utility model discloses an oil level verification device for an oil-immersed transformer, comprising a support assembly and a measuring assembly.
[0022] The support assembly includes a support base 1 and a support member 2 mounted on the support base 1. An adjusting member 3 is provided between the support base 1 and the support member 2.

[0024] Preferably, the support base 101 is provided with through holes, and the support legs 102 are arranged in three sets at intervals.
[0025] Further, see Figure 1The support member 2 includes a support vertical rod 201 and a support horizontal rod 202 disposed on the support vertical rod 201. The support vertical rod 201 passes through the chassis and is located in the adjustment cavity 103. The support horizontal rod 202 is provided with a connecting ear plate 10.
[0026] Preferably, the support crossbar 202 is arranged perpendicularly to the support vertical bar 201, and the support vertical bar 201 is made of insulating material.
[0027] Further, see Figure 3 , 4 The adjusting component 3 includes a guide sleeve 301 mounted on the support chassis 101 and an adjusting sleeve 302 rotatably mounted on the guide sleeve 301. The guide sleeve 301 is connected to the adjusting cavity 103, and the adjusting sleeve 302 is threadedly connected to the support vertical rod 201.
[0028] Preferably, the guide sleeve 301 is a hollow cylinder with two openings, and the guide sleeve 301 is coaxially arranged with the through hole.
[0029] Preferably, the guide sleeve 301 has a raised edge 11 at the end away from the supporting chassis 101, and the adjusting sleeve 302 has a groove 12, which is slidably connected to the raised edge 11.
[0030] Preferably, the inner wall of the adjusting sleeve 302 is provided with internal threads, and the outer wall of the supporting vertical rod 201 is provided with external threads.
[0031] In the above configuration, the support rod 201 passes through the adjusting sleeve 302 and the guide sleeve 301 and is located in the adjusting cavity 103. The adjusting sleeve 302 is threadedly connected to the support rod 201. By rotating the adjusting sleeve 302, the support rod can be moved up or down under the action of the thread. During the adjustment process, one hand holds the adjusting sleeve 302 and the other hand holds the support rod 201. When it is necessary to adjust the support rod 201 to move up, the hand holding the support rod 201 will lift it up.
[0032] Further, see Figure 1 The connector 4 includes a connecting sleeve 401, one end of which is fixedly connected to the support vertical rod 201 and is provided with a buckle 402, and the other end passes through the buckle 402 to form a fixed ring to connect the measuring tube 6; the sliding member 5 includes a sliding roller 501 rotatably disposed in the connecting ear plate 10.
[0033] Preferably, the buckle 402 has a channel inside, and the channel and the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 401 are respectively provided with locking teeth 13. One end of the connecting sleeve 401 passes through the buckle 402 and is connected by the locking teeth 13.
[0034] Preferably, the measuring tube 6 is equipped with a valve 14.
[0035] Further, see Figure 1The measuring component 7 includes a pull rope 701 movably connected to the sliding roller 501 and a measuring tape 702 connected to the pull rope 701. The indicator mark 9 is located at the zero mark of the measuring tape 702.
[0036] Preferably, the connecting ear plate 10 is positioned near the supporting vertical rod 201, such that the sliding roller 501 and the measuring tape 702 are near the measuring tube 6 on the supporting vertical rod 201.
[0037] Preferably, the indicator mark 9 is arrow-shaped, the outer diameter of the float ball 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the measuring tube 6, and both the float ball 8 and the indicator mark 9 are red.
[0038] In the above setup, the measuring tube 6 is connected to the support rod 201 via the connecting sleeve 401, so that one end of the measuring tube 6 is close to the support rod 202 and the other end is close to the ground. The measuring tube 6 is connected to the oil inlet at the lower end of the transformer. After the valve 14 is opened, the oil enters the hose. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the oil in the measuring tube 6 moves up to the same height as the oil in the oil tank on the transformer. At this time, the float ball 8 moves up accordingly. The indicator mark 9 on the measuring tape 702 is aligned with the float ball 8. The height H1 of the float ball 8 from the ground is obtained by measuring the scale on the measuring tape 702.
[0039] In this embodiment, the height from the bottom of the transformer to the bottom of the oil conservator is a fixed value H. When measuring the height H1 of the floating ball 8 to the ground (i.e., the liquid level in the oil conservator), the support bracket 102 is placed on the ground, the measuring tube 6 is connected to the oil inlet at the bottom of the transformer, the adjusting sleeve 302 is rotated to adjust the position of the support rod 201 so that the measuring tube 6 between the oil inlet and the support rod 201 is on the same plane, the valve 14 is opened, the oil enters the measuring tube 6 and pushes the floating ball 8 upward. At this time, the height of the floating ball 8 is consistent with the liquid level in the oil conservator. The pull rope 701 is pulled to move the measuring tape 702 so that the indicator mark 9 is aligned with the floating ball 8, and the scale H1 of the measuring tape 702 on the ground is read.
[0040] The height difference h between H1 and H is the actual oil level in the oil reservoir.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
