The carrier gas generator 18 is located at the rear of the device, and a carrier gas interface 19 is located above its front side. The carrier gas generator 18 is sequentially connected to a V11 solenoid valve 5011, a pressure regulating valve 21, and a six-way valve 4 via the carrier gas interface 19, providing maintenance-free carrier gas to the analysis unit. The sample injection unit includes an oil inlet / outlet interface 10, which is located at the... Below the front side of the device, the outlet of the oil inlet / outlet port 10 is sequentially connected to a filter 1101 and a V1 solenoid valve 501. Oil samples are injected through the outlet of the oil inlet / outlet port 10, filtered by the filter 1101, and the flow rate is controlled by the V1 solenoid valve 501. The oil sample is then injected into the inlet below the front side of the degassing chamber 13 via the oil pump 12. The inlet of the oil inlet / outlet port 10 is connected to the outlet above the rear side of the degassing chamber 13 via a V2 solenoid valve 502. Oil samples in the degassing chamber 13 can be recovered through the outlet of the oil inlet / outlet port 10. The degassing unit includes a degassing chamber 13, which is located in the middle of the device. The degassing chamber 13 contains... A magnetic stirrer; the top outlet of the degassing chamber 13 is sequentially connected to a level detector 14, a V3 solenoid valve 503, an oil separator 15, a level switch 16, and a pressure sensor 17, and then connected to an air pump 7 at the front of the degassing chamber 13. The inlet at the lower front of the degassing chamber 13 is also connected to an oil cylinder 8 and a waste oil bag 9 via a V9 solenoid valve 509. The oil cylinder 8 and the waste oil bag 9 are connected in parallel. A V6 solenoid valve 506 is installed at the inlet of the waste oil bag 9. A vacuum pump 6 is located in the middle of the front of the device and is connected to a six-way valve 4 and the air pump 7 via a V5 solenoid valve 505. The six-way valve 4 and the air pump 7 are connected in parallel. The air pump 7 and the V5 solenoid valve 505... The unit is also equipped with a V4 solenoid valve 504, and a temperature controller and pressure regulator to ensure complete release of gases from the oil. The degassing unit uses a vacuum pump 6 and an air pump 7 to remove all air from the degassing chamber 13. After evacuation, degassing can be achieved at the lowest pressure, maximizing degassing efficiency. The analysis unit includes a detector 3 and a data acquisition and analysis module 2. The data acquisition and analysis module 2 is located on the upper front side of the portable oil dissolved gas detection device. The detector 3 is connected to the six-way valve 4. The analysis unit is equipped with an intelligent temperature control system that can control the temperature of the detector 3. The detector 3 is used to detect dissolved gases in the oil.

[0027] The front side of the oil separator 15 is connected to the V8 solenoid valve 508, which is connected to the oil pump 12, via the V10 solenoid valve 5010, and is ultimately connected to the six-way valve 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, the detector 3 is a micro-chromatographic column. The micro-chromatographic column can efficiently and stably separate gases and accurately detect characteristic gases dissolved in oil, such as hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), ethylene (C2H4), acetylene (C2H2), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2).

[0029] In this embodiment, an embedded operation interface 1 is provided on the upper front side of the portable dissolved gas in oil detection device for operation and data display by the operator; the top of the device is also provided with an oil extractor interface 20, which is connected to the filter 1102 and V7 solenoid valve 507 at the bottom of the portable dissolved gas in oil detection device, and then connected between the oil pump 12 and V1 solenoid valve 501.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom of the portable oil dissolved gas detection device is also provided with rollers, making the portable oil dissolved gas detection device easy to carry.

[0031] The working principle of this device is as follows: First, the oil cylinder 8 is returned to its original position. Then, an oil sample is injected through the oil inlet / outlet port 10 or the oil sampler port 20. The oil pump 12 sends the oil sample into the degassing chamber 13. Once the oil level reaches the level detector 14, the oil sample is heated. After heating to a certain temperature, the heating is stopped. The air pump 7 and vacuum pump 6 are used to evacuate the degassing chamber 13. The original gas in the degassing chamber 13 is then evacuated through the cooperation of the oil remover 15, the level switch 16, the pressure sensor 17, the V5 solenoid valve 505, and the V4 solenoid valve 504 to complete the vacuuming operation. Next, the magnetic stirrer in the degassing chamber 13 starts stirring, and the degassing process is completed under vacuum. At this time, the gas in the degassing chamber 13 is sent into the six-way valve 4 through the cooperation of the oil remover 15, the liquid level switch 16, the pressure sensor 17 and the V10 solenoid valve 5010. After degassing is completed, the carrier gas sent by the carrier gas generator 18 of the carrier gas unit causes the gas separated from the oil sample to be sent into the analysis unit through the six-way valve 4. Finally, the detector 3 in the analysis unit detects the gas and sends the results to the data acquisition and analysis module 2, and the results are displayed by the embedded operation interface 1.

[0032] The carrier gas unit of this invention is mainly a vacuum regeneration high-purity air generator based on pressure swing adsorption technology. It eliminates the need for an external carrier gas cylinder and can provide maintenance-free carrier gas for the high-frequency monitoring of this product. The methane removal rate in the air is over 95%, the carbon dioxide removal rate is over 99%, and the dew point is below -50℃, exceeding the performance of cylinder-loaded gas. Therefore, the device has the capability for long-term online monitoring and can be used for long-term online monitoring in emergency situations on-site.

[0033] This utility model device integrates the sample introduction unit, degassing unit, analysis unit and carrier gas unit into one unit through miniaturization and ingenious layout, realizing a miniaturized design. It is small in size and light in weight, easy to carry, and suitable for on-site transformer oil sample calibration, reducing errors caused by oil sample transportation and placement.

[0034] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
