DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the utility model provides a kind of oil-immersed distribution transformer fault monitoring equipment, comprising: transformer shell 1, the top of the cavity of transformer shell 1 is respectively fixedly connected ultrasonic range finder 9 and PLC assembly 11, one end of the cavity of transformer shell 1 is fixedly connected bundle position cylinder 2, the upper end of the cavity of bundle position cylinder 2 is fixedly connected cross plate 10, and cross plate 10 is movably connected adjusting screw 8 by bearing, the lower end of adjusting screw 8 is screwed moving plate 6, and the upper surface of moving plate 6 is symmetrically connected trigger 12, while the upper end of the cavity of bundle position cylinder 2 is slidably connected floating plate 7, and the position corresponding to adjusting screw 8 is provided with through hole in the middle of floating plate 7, and the side of the cavity of transformer shell 1 is symmetrically connected mounting frame 3, and the surface of mounting frame 3 is symmetrically connected temperature sensor 5.

[0018] In this embodiment, when the transformer oil level inside the oil-immersed distribution transformer changes, the ultrasonic rangefinder 9 transmits the level change data to the electrically connected PLC component 11 in real time. When the level drops to a preset alarm value within the PLC component 11, the PLC component 11 checks for a trigger 12 signal. If no trigger 12 signal is received, the PLC component 11 sends a fault message for the ultrasonic rangefinder 9 to the relevant personnel via its built-in wireless transceiver module. As the transformer oil level decreases, the float 7 descends synchronously. When the level is below the height of the moving plate 6, the lower surface of the float 7 simultaneously abuts against the four sets of triggers 12 on the upper surface of the moving plate 6. The four sets of triggers 12 transmit signals to the electrically connected PLC component 11. Therefore, when the PLC component 11 receives signals from at least two sets of triggers 12, the PLC component 11 will... The built-in wireless transceiver module sends warnings about abnormal transformer oil levels to relevant personnel, improving worker response speed and accelerating the troubleshooting of oil-immersed distribution transformers. When the temperature of the transformer oil inside the transformer casing 1 changes, multiple temperature sensors 5 on the mounting frame 3 transmit the temperature of multiple points of the transformer oil in real time to the electrically connected PLC component 11. When the temperature of the transformer oil reaches the preset warning value inside the PLC component 11, the PLC component 11 will send a warning about abnormal transformer oil temperature to relevant personnel through the built-in wireless transceiver module. This effectively reduces the frequency of manual inspections, lowers the labor intensity of workers, and improves the timeliness of fault detection in oil-immersed distribution transformers. It also reduces the probability of further damage to oil-immersed distribution transformers due to untimely fault detection, minimizes unnecessary losses, and ensures normal power supply to related equipment.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, there are two sets of mounting frames 3. Both sets of mounting frames 3 are of the U-shape, and multiple sets of temperature sensors 5 are fixedly connected at equal intervals along the length direction on the upper surface of one set of mounting frames 3 and the lower surface of the other set of mounting frames 3.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting frame 3 allows multiple temperature sensors 5 to be fixedly connected inside the transformer housing 1, enabling the PLC component 11 to monitor temperature changes at multiple points in the transformer oil in real time, facilitating maintenance workers to promptly detect abnormal transformer oil temperatures.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the end face of the mounting frame 3 is U-shaped, the edges of the outer side of the mounting frame 3 are all arc-shaped, and multiple sets of reinforcing rods 4 are fixedly connected between the two sets of mounting frames 3 in parallel and at equal intervals. At the same time, the multiple sets of reinforcing rods 4 are all semi-cylindrical.

[0022] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the arrangement of the reinforcing rod 4 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the connection between the two groups of mounting frames 3, thereby assisting in enhancing the stability of the connection between the mounting frame 3 and the transformer shell 1, and the arc surface structure of the mounting frame 3 and the reinforcing rod 4 can effectively reduce the probability of excessive accumulation of electric charge and improve the safety of the equipment during use.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the bundle position cylinder 2 is in the overall square cylinder structure, a plurality of through holes are uniformly arranged on the lower end surface of the bundle position cylinder 2, and the upper and lower ends of the bundle position cylinder 2 do not abut against the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the transformer shell 1.

[0024] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the bundle position cylinder 2 is made of insulating material, and the through holes arranged on the lower end of the bundle position cylinder 2 enable the transformer oil filled in the transformer shell 1 to flow smoothly into the inside of the bundle position cylinder 2, and the bundle position cylinder 2 is provided with openings at both ends, so that the liquid level inside the bundle position cylinder 2 is equal to the liquid level on the outside of the bundle position cylinder 2.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the horizontal plate 10 fixedly connected to the opening at the upper end of the bundle position cylinder 2 is in the rectangular structure, the horizontal plate 10 and the adjusting screw rod 8 are combined together to form the T-shaped structure, the width of the horizontal plate 10 is less than the width of the inner cavity of the bundle position cylinder 2, and the upper end of the adjusting screw rod 8 is fixedly connected with the rotating plate 13.

[0026] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the arrangement of the horizontal plate 10 enables the adjusting screw rod 8 to stably rotate at the upper end of the inner cavity of the bundle position cylinder 2, and avoids the opening at the upper end of the bundle position cylinder 2 from being blocked, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the liquid level in the inner cavity of the bundle position cylinder 2 and the liquid level on the outside of the bundle position cylinder 2.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the floating plate 7 is in the overall rectangular structure, the through hole arranged in the middle of the floating plate 7 is in the cylindrical structure, the diameter of the through hole is greater than the diameter of the adjusting screw rod 8, the sealing cavity arranged in the inside of the floating plate 7 is in the back-shaped structure, and the size of the outside of the floating plate 7 is adapted to the size of the inner cavity of the bundle position cylinder 2.

[0028] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The hollow structure of the float plate 7 can effectively enhance the buoyancy of the float plate 7 on the surface of the transformer oil, ensuring that the float plate 7 can change synchronously with the change of the transformer oil level. At the same time, the size of the outer side of the float plate 7 and the opening of the through hole can enhance the stability of the float plate 7 when it moves, and avoid the problem of mutual interference between the float plate 7 and the adjusting screw 8.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the baffle fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjusting screw 8 has a circular structure, while the movable plate 6 screwed to the lower end of the adjusting screw 8 has a square structure. The size of the movable plate 6 is compatible with the inner cavity of the positioning cylinder 2. Multiple sets of through holes are evenly opened on the surface of the movable plate 6, and four sets of triggers 12 are symmetrically connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 6.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 The baffle effectively prevents the moving plate 6 from accidentally disengaging from the adjusting screw 8. The evenly spaced through holes on the surface of the moving plate 6 allow transformer oil to pass smoothly through the moving plate 6, enabling the float plate 7 to float above the moving plate 6. At the same time, the multiple sets of triggers 12 effectively reduce the probability of failure to monitor fault information in a timely manner due to the failure of a single trigger 12, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the equipment during use.

[0031] This utility model's oil-immersed distribution transformer fault monitoring device, through the cooperation of a positioning cylinder 2, adjusting screw 8, float plate 7, moving plate 6, trigger 12, ultrasonic rangefinder 9, and temperature sensor 5, enables the device to monitor the level and temperature of the transformer oil inside the transformer casing 1. When the level or temperature of the transformer oil is abnormal, it can promptly notify the responsible personnel, improving the worker's response speed and reducing the probability of further damage to the oil-immersed distribution transformer. Simultaneously, the coordinated use of multiple monitoring structures can effectively reduce the probability of false alarms or no fault reporting, ensuring the safety of the oil-immersed distribution transformer.

[0032] The parts of the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this application are all prior art, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and the content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
