Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mining transformer technology, and in particular to a mining oil-immersed transformer with a filter structure. Background Technology
[0002] An oil-immersed transformer is an electrical device that uses transformer oil as the primary insulating and cooling medium. Its core structure includes the transformer body (containing the core and windings) and the oil tank. Transformer oil not only provides insulation protection but also removes heat through natural or forced circulation (such as air cooling, water cooling, or oil pump circulation), ensuring stable operation of the equipment under high loads. Due to its heat dissipation efficiency, cost advantage, and environmental adaptability, oil-immersed transformers have become indispensable power equipment in the mining industry, especially excelling in ground power supply, large machinery drives, and special environments (such as offshore or highly corrosive areas).
[0003] Without a filtration system and an active cooling system, the transformer oil in an oil-immersed transformer will gradually deteriorate over long-term operation due to oxidation, moisture, or the intrusion of impurities (such as increased acid value and decreased insulation performance). Without a filtration system (such as an oil purification device or regeneration system), impurities in the oil (such as oxidation products, moisture, and particulate matter) cannot be effectively removed, leading to decreased insulation performance and potentially causing partial discharge or short-circuit faults. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a mining oil-immersed transformer with a filtration structure to solve the above-mentioned problems. It uses a filter element that can remove moisture and impurities from the insulating oil, and maintains the performance of the insulating oil and keeps the transformer running stably by circulating and filtering the insulating oil.
[0005] This application achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A mining oil-immersed transformer with a filtration structure includes: a transformer housing, an oil pump installed inside the housing, a filtration system, a heat dissipation system, and a circulation pipeline;
[0007] The filtration system includes a filter cartridge located outside the transformer housing. The filter cartridge has a removable cover at the top and a plug at the bottom. A composite filter element is installed inside the cover.
[0008] The heat dissipation system includes a cylindrical heat dissipation cylinder made of thermally conductive material, with heat dissipation fins on its axial central cavity and outer wall, and multiple diversion channels distributed circumferentially. The heat dissipation cylinder is connected to a cooling fan.
[0009] The circulation pipeline includes: a first oil supply pipe connecting the oil pump and the filter cartridge; a second oil supply pipe passing through the bottom of the filter cartridge and extending to the hollow cavity of the composite filter element; a distributor and multiple distributor pipes connecting the second oil supply pipe and the heat sink; and a collector and collector pipe connecting the heat sink and the third oil supply pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the cylinder cover is provided with an external hexagonal screw head, and the outer wall of the top of the filter cylinder is connected to the cylinder cover by threads. The plug and the end of the second oil delivery pipe form a two-way sealing structure for the composite filter element.
[0011] Furthermore, the second oil pipeline integrates a temperature sensor and an oil quality sensor, with the sensor signal output connected to the control terminal.
[0012] Furthermore, the diversion channel is arranged along the axial direction of the heat sink, and its two ends can connect the diversion pipe and the collector pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the portion of the third oil pipeline extending into the transformer housing is equipped with an oil delivery hole.
[0014] Furthermore, the composite filter element includes a coalescing filter element layer and a fiber filter element layer.
[0015] Furthermore, pads are installed on both sides of the third oil pipeline.
[0016] Compared to existing technologies, this application uses a composite filter element that can remove moisture and impurities from insulating oil. By circulating and filtering the insulating oil, the performance of the insulating oil is maintained, ensuring stable operation of the transformer. It also has a heat dissipation system that can conduct heat from the insulating oil, further improving heat dissipation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a mining oil-immersed transformer with a filtration structure includes: a transformer housing 1, an oil pump 2 installed inside the housing, a filtration system, a heat dissipation system, and a circulation pipeline.
[0026] The filtration system includes a filter cylinder 4 disposed outside the transformer housing 1. The filter cylinder 4 has a removable cover 5 at the top and a plug 7 at the bottom. A composite filter element is installed inside the filter cylinder 4.
[0027] The heat dissipation system includes a cylindrical heat dissipation cylinder 11 made of thermally conductive material, with heat dissipation fins 13 provided in its axial central cavity and outer wall, and multiple diversion channels 12 distributed circumferentially. The heat dissipation cylinder 11 is connected to a cooling fan 23.
[0028] The circulation pipeline includes: a first oil supply pipe 3 connecting the oil pump 2 and the filter cylinder 4; a second oil supply pipe 10 passing through the bottom of the filter cylinder 4 and extending to the hollow cavity of the composite filter element; a distributor 14 and multiple distributor pipes 15 connecting the second oil supply pipe 10 and the heat sink 11; and a collector 17 and a collector pipe 18 connecting the heat sink 11 and the third oil supply pipe 16.
[0029] Specifically, the transformer body is not shown in the attached drawings. The transformer casing 1 is a prior art product and is part of the transformer. The heat sink 11 can conduct heat from the passing insulating oil to allow the heat sink 13 to dissipate heat. The cooling fan 23 is coaxially mounted inside the heat sink 11 via a bracket to generate airflow to remove heat. The filtered insulating oil circulates through the second oil supply pipe 10, the shunt 14, the shunt pipe 15, the shunt channel 12, the collector pipe 18, the collector 17, and the third oil supply pipe 16.
[0030] Furthermore, the top of the cylinder cover 5 is provided with an external hexagonal screw head 6, the top outer wall of the filter cylinder 4 is connected to the cylinder cover 5 by threads, and the plug 7 and the end of the second oil supply pipe 10 form a two-way sealing structure for the composite filter element.
[0031] Specifically, the cap 5 is screwed on by turning the hexagonal screw head 6 with a wrench, which facilitates disassembly and allows for replacement of the filter element.
[0032] Furthermore, the second oil pipeline 10 integrates a temperature sensor 21 and an oil quality sensor 22. The sensor signal output terminals are connected to the control terminal, enabling real-time monitoring of the insulating oil's condition.
[0033] Furthermore, the diversion channel 12 is arranged along the axial direction of the heat sink 11, and its two ends can connect the diversion pipe 15 and the collector pipe 18.
[0034] Specifically, the insulating oil is diverted through the shunt pipe 15 and then enters each shunt channel 12, improving the efficiency of heat transfer.
[0035] Furthermore, the portion of the third oil pipe 16 extending into the transformer housing 1 is provided with an oil delivery hole 19, which enables the filtered and cooled insulating oil to be delivered to various locations inside the transformer.
[0036] Furthermore, the composite filter element includes a coalescing filter element layer 8 and a fiber filter element layer 9, which can filter impurities such as moisture and particulate matter.
[0037] Furthermore, pads 20 are provided on both sides of the third oil pipeline 16 to avoid transformer components and prevent them from contacting the third oil pipeline 16 and causing blockage of the oil delivery hole 19.
[0038] Specifically, the top outer wall of the filter cylinder 4 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the cylinder cover 5, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the filter cylinder 4 and the filter element. The filter element is cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the plug 7 and the second oil supply pipe 10 matches the cavity of the filter element. The distributor 14 and the collector 17 are hollow structures, and the insulating oil can flow inside them, thereby being transported to the distributor pipe 15 and receiving the insulating oil sent in by the collector pipe 18. The heat dissipation cylinder 11 is made of thermally conductive material, and heat dissipation fins 13 are provided in the central cavity and on the outer wall of the heat dissipation cylinder 11. Starting the cooling fan 23 can generate airflow to accelerate heat dissipation. The oil supply holes 19 are distributed along the third oil supply pipe 16 that penetrates into the transformer housing 1, so as to send the cooled insulating oil to various parts of the transformer housing 1.
[0039] In the above structure, the insulating oil can cool the internal components of the transformer housing 1. The oil pump 2 is started to draw the insulating oil from the transformer housing 1, which is sent into the filter cylinder 4 through the first oil supply pipe 3. Then, it passes through the coalescing filter layer 8 to filter out moisture, and then through the fiber filter layer 9 to filter out particulate matter. The filtered insulating oil enters the second oil supply pipe 10 through the hollow part of the filter element, and then enters the distributor 14. It then enters each distributor channel 12 through the distributor pipe 15. The heat is conducted to the heat dissipation cylinder 11, and the heat dissipation fins 13 improve the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, the cooling fan 23 can be started to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The insulating oil passing through the distributor channel 12 enters the collector pipe 18 and the collector 17, and finally enters the third oil supply pipe 16. It diffuses into the transformer housing 1 through the oil supply hole 19 to cool the internal components of the transformer housing 1.
