The embodiment also provides an external power supply PS for supplying power to the system. As shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 、 2 As shown.

[0029] Among them, the controllable switch K1' adopts a relay, wherein the coil of the relay is the control end of the controllable switch K1'. The controllable switch K2' adopts a relay, wherein the coil of the relay is the control end of the controllable switch K2'. The controller adopts a PLC.

[0030] The installation and connection mode of each component and the working principle of the system are described below.

[0031] High liquid level dry reed switch K1 and low liquid level dry reed switch K2 are installed in different positions of oil level gauge dial 5, and float ball 2 is installed at the front end of connecting rod 1, and magnet 6 is installed at the end of connecting rod 1 in oil level gauge dial 5, when the liquid level of oil in oil pillow main body container 3 changes, the height of float ball 2 also changes, which drives connecting rod 1 to rotate around rotating shaft 4 as the center, and the position of magnet 6 at the end of connecting rod 1 changes, that is, swings between high liquid level dry reed switch K1 and low liquid level dry reed switch K2. High liquid level dry reed switch K1 and low liquid level dry reed switch K2 are in an off state when magnet 6 is not close.

[0032] When the liquid level reaches the upper limit, magnet 6 is close to high liquid level dry reed switch K1, and high liquid level dry reed switch K1 is turned on, and when the liquid level does not reach the upper limit, magnet 6 is away from high liquid level dry reed switch K1, and high liquid level dry reed switch K1 is turned off.

[0033] When the liquid level reaches the lower limit, magnet 6 is close to low liquid level dry reed switch K2, and low liquid level dry reed switch K2 is turned on, and when the liquid level does not reach the lower limit, magnet 6 is away from low liquid level dry reed switch K2, and low liquid level dry reed switch K2 is turned off.

[0038] The controller is connected with the control ends of controllable switch K1' and controllable switch K2'.

[0039] Status indicator lamp LED is connected between external power supply PS and ground.

[0040] The transformer oil level gauge alarm system disclosed in the embodiment has a switch interlocking function, which will be described in detail below.

[0041] When the liquid level does not reach the upper limit and the lower limit, the controller PLC controls controllable switch K1' and controllable switch K2' to be turned on, because high liquid level dry reed switch K1 and low liquid level dry reed switch K2 are in an off state when magnet 6 is not close, so high liquid level sensor S1 and low liquid level sensor S2 do not send alarm signals.

[0042] When the liquid level reaches the upper limit, the magnet 6 is close to the high liquid level reed switch K1, the high liquid level reed switch K1 is turned on, the branch where the high liquid level sensor S1 is located is turned on, the high liquid level sensor S1 sends an alarm signal, and the alarm signal is transmitted to the controller PLC, and the controller PLC controls the controllable switch K1' (relay) to be turned off. Therefore, the high liquid level reed switch K1 and the controllable switch K1' (relay) form interlocking, which can prevent the branch where the high liquid level sensor S1 is located and the branch where the low liquid level sensor S2 is located from being turned on at the same time.

[0043] When the liquid level is lower than the upper limit, the magnet 6 is away from the high liquid level reed switch K1, the high liquid level reed switch K1 is turned off, the branch where the high liquid level sensor S1 is located is turned off, the high liquid level sensor S1 stops sending an alarm signal, and the controller PLC controls the controllable switch K1' (relay) to be turned on.

[0044] When the liquid level reaches the lower limit, the magnet 6 is close to the low liquid level reed switch K2, the low liquid level reed switch K2 is turned on, the branch where the low liquid level sensor S2 is located is turned on, the low liquid level sensor S2 sends an alarm signal, and the alarm signal is transmitted to the controller PLC, and the controller PLC controls the controllable switch K2' (relay) to be turned off. Therefore, the low liquid level reed switch K2 and the controllable switch K2' (relay) form interlocking, which can prevent the branch where the high liquid level sensor S1 is located and the branch where the low liquid level sensor S2 is located from being turned on at the same time.

[0045] When the liquid level is higher than the upper limit, the magnet 6 is away from the low liquid level reed switch K2, the low liquid level reed switch K2 is turned off, the branch where the low liquid level sensor S2 is located is turned off, the low liquid level sensor S2 stops sending an alarm signal, and the controller PLC controls the controllable switch K2' (relay) to be turned on.

[0046] The transformer oil level gauge alarm system disclosed in the embodiment has the function of power-on indication: when the circuit is turned on, the status indicator lamp LED is lit, otherwise it is extinguished.

[0047] The transformer oil level gauge alarm system disclosed in the embodiment realizes efficient monitoring and intelligent control through the cooperative work of various components. The float ball 2 floats up and down with the change of the oil level in the oil pillow main body container 3, drives the connecting rod 1 to rotate around the fixed rotating shaft 4, and makes the magnet 6 installed at the end of the connecting rod swing in the oil level gauge dial 5. When the oil level reaches the upper limit, the magnet 6 triggers the high liquid level dry reed switch K1 to conduct, and the high liquid level sensor S1 sends an alarm signal, and at the same time the PLC controller controls the controllable switch K1' to be disconnected to realize interlocking; similarly, the low liquid level dry reed switch K2 and the controllable switch K2' work cooperatively when the oil level reaches the lower limit. The system uses dry reed switches and relays, cooperates with PLC intelligent control, not only ensures the monitoring accuracy and response speed, but also avoids the conflict of high and low liquid level signals through the physical interlocking mechanism. The status indicator light LED displays the power supply state of the system in real time, and the mechanical structure composed of the rotating shaft 4 and the connecting rod 1 is simple and reliable. The design has the advantages of high-precision monitoring, safety interlocking and intelligent control, can effectively prevent the abnormal risk of transformer oil level, significantly improves the operation reliability of power equipment, and is suitable for liquid level monitoring needs in various industrial scenes.

[0048] The transformer disclosed in the embodiment comprises the transformer oil level gauge alarm system.
