The dry type transformer in the wind driven generator cabin plays a key role in voltage conversion and power transmission. If it cannot dissipate heat in time and effectively, the temperature of the transformer will be too high, which will affect its performance, shorten its service life, and even cause failure, thereby affecting the stable operation of the entire wind power system
[0003] The existing heat dissipation device for wind driven generator cabin dry type transformer mostly adopts air cooling or liquid cooling.

However, in a high temperature environment, the ambient air temperature is relatively high, the heat capacity of air is relatively limited, and the heat that can be carried away is also greatly limited. The liquid cooling method uses cooling liquid circulation to dissipate heat. Although the heat dissipation efficiency is higher than that of air cooling, the temperature of the cooling liquid in the liquid cooling system is prone to rise in a high temperature environment, and the heat exchange efficiency is reduced, thereby making it difficult for these heat dissipation devices to meet the heat dissipation demand in a high temperature environment.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the present invention discloses a heat dissipation device for a dry-type transformer in a wind turbine nacelle, comprising a heat dissipation box 1 and a door 2 that can be opened and closed connected to the heat dissipation box 1. In the embodiments of this application, the heat dissipation box 1 is an integral structural frame that provides a closed or semi-closed space for the entire heat dissipation device to accommodate and protect the internal components. It is usually made of a material with a certain strength to prevent excessive interference from the external environment and to protect the safety of the operators. The door 2 is designed to facilitate the inspection, maintenance and repair of the interior of the heat dissipation box 1 by the staff.
[0023] In the embodiments of this application, the heat dissipation box 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 for placing the dry-type transformer. A cold air generating mechanism 3 for cooling the air and an air-cooling circulation mechanism 4 for ventilating the receiving cavity 11 are fixed on the side wall of the heat dissipation box 1. Its working principle is based on the heat exchange characteristics of air. The cold air generating mechanism 3 draws in air from the external environment and cools the air to a lower temperature. The air-cooling circulation mechanism 4 introduces the cooled air into the receiving cavity 11 of the heat dissipation box. When the cold air comes into contact with the surface of the dry-type transformer, since the surface temperature of the transformer is higher than the temperature of the cold air, heat will be transferred from the surface of the transformer to the cold air. The heated air temperature rises and the density decreases. Under the action of the air-cooling circulation mechanism 4, the hot air is discharged from the receiving cavity 11, and new cold air will be continuously replenished. This cycle repeats, thereby achieving continuous heat dissipation for the dry-type transformer. Through this design, the air is actively cooled, which is not limited by the external ambient temperature. Even in high-temperature environments, it can still provide low-temperature cooling air, ensuring the stability and reliability of the heat dissipation device and having strong environmental adaptability.
[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the air cooling circulation mechanism 4 includes multiple sets of air inlet assemblies 41 and multiple sets of air outlet assemblies 42. The air inlet assemblies 41 are arranged at the lower part of the side wall of the heat dissipation box 1, and the air outlet assemblies 42 are arranged at the top of the heat dissipation box 1. When the air cooling circulation mechanism 4 is working, the air inlet assemblies 41 introduce the low-temperature cold air cooled by the cold air generating mechanism 3 into the containing cavity 11 from the lower part of the side wall of the heat dissipation box 1. Due to the large density of the cold air, the cold air rises along the bottom of the heat dissipation box 1 and fully contacts the surface of the dry-type transformer placed above, thereby taking away the heat generated by the transformer. As the temperature of the air rises, the hot air gradually rises and is finally discharged out of the box through the air outlet assemblies 42 located at the top of the heat dissipation box 1, forming an orderly air convection channel and avoiding the occurrence of air short-circuit phenomenon, thereby ensuring the uniform flow of air in the containing cavity and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the air inlet assembly 41 includes an air inlet 411 and an air inlet pipeline 412. The air inlet 411 is arranged on the side wall of the heat dissipation box 1, and the air inlet pipeline 412 is connected to the air inlet 411. A wind collecting cover 413 is connected to the air outlet of the air inlet pipeline 412, and an air filtering assembly 414 is arranged in the air inlet pipeline 412. In the embodiments of the present application, the air filtering assembly 414 filters the air to remove impurities and particulate matter. The purified air flows in the air inlet pipeline 412, is concentrated and guided by the wind collecting cover 413, and is introduced into the containing cavity 11 of the heat dissipation box and uniformly distributed around the dry-type transformer. The filtering by the air filtering assembly 414 ensures that the air entering the heat dissipation box 1 is clean, which not only prevents pollutants from accumulating on the surface of the transformer and affecting the heat dissipation effect, but also reduces the safety hazards such as short circuit and electric leakage caused by dust entering the electrical connection part, thereby improving the operation reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0026] As shown in Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the air filtering assembly 414 includes a plurality of filtering elements 4141 arranged in sequence along the air flow direction. In the embodiments of the present application, the filtering elements 4141 are of a detachable structure, which facilitates regular cleaning or replacement by the staff to maintain good filtering effect. Each filtering element 4141 has a specific filtering structure and function, and can effectively intercept and filter particulate matter of different sizes and properties. These filtering elements 4141 can be made of various filtering materials such as filter screens and filter cartridges, and appropriate filtering precision and material can be selected according to actual needs to meet the requirements of air purification.

[0028] As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments of the present application, the cold air generating mechanism 3 further includes a nozzle group 34, the nozzle group 34 includes a plurality of nozzles 341 facing the windward surface of the evaporator 332, the plurality of nozzles 341 are communicated with the water collecting bucket 331 through a pipeline, and a water pump 342 and a water filter 343 are arranged on the pipeline; in the embodiments of the present application, the condensed water collected by the water collecting bucket 331 is reused for water spraying cooling, and this additional cooling mode cooperates with the refrigeration effect of the evaporator 332 itself, further enhancing the refrigeration effect of the cold air generating mechanism 3; at the same time, through the water spraying process, the water flow can wash the surface of the evaporator 332 to remove accumulated dust, dirt and other impurities. Keeping the surface of the evaporator 332 clean helps to improve the heat exchange efficiency and avoid the heat transfer performance decline caused by surface pollution.
[0029] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the air outlet assembly 42 includes an air outlet 421, an air outlet duct 422, and a blower 423. The air outlet 421 is located on the side wall of the heat sink 1, the air outlet duct 422 is connected to the air outlet 421, and the blower 423 is installed inside the air outlet duct 422. In the embodiments of this application, the air outlet 421 is an opening on the heat sink 1 for discharging internal hot air, the air outlet duct 422 is used to guide the hot air discharged from the heat sink 1 to flow in a predetermined direction, and the blower 423 drives the impeller to rotate through a motor, generating a strong airflow thrust to quickly extract the hot air from the heat sink 1 and discharge it to the external environment through the air outlet duct 422. This makes room for subsequent cold air to enter, thereby maintaining the air circulation inside the heat sink 1 and ensuring that the dry-type transformer is always within a suitable operating temperature range.
[0030] In some embodiments of this application, a heat dissipation box 1 is provided with a heat insulation layer; in the embodiments of this application, the heat insulation layer covers the surface of the heat dissipation box 1, forming a continuous isolation layer; the heat insulation layer is usually made of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as heat insulation foam, ceramic fiber, aerogel, etc., which greatly slows down the conduction speed of heat in the heat insulation layer, thereby reducing heat loss or transfer; at the same time, the heat insulation layer can also reduce the influence of convection and radiation heat transfer to a certain extent; for example, some heat insulation materials have special coatings or structures on their surfaces that can reflect some radiant heat, further reducing the heat transfer efficiency.
[0031] The working process of the heat dissipation device for a dry-type transformer in a wind turbine nacelle according to this utility model is as follows:
[0032] First, outside air enters the air intake duct 412 through the air intake port 411 of the air intake component 41 located on the lower side of the heat sink 1. Inside the air intake duct 412, the air first passes through the air filter component 414, where several filter elements 4141 arranged sequentially along the air flow direction filter the air. The filtered air continues to flow inside the air intake duct 412.
[0033] The air in the air inlet duct 412 passes through the evaporator group 33. The condenser group 31, compressor group 32 and evaporator group 33 in the cold air generating mechanism 3 form a closed loop through the pipe. Several evaporators 332 in the evaporator group 33 are arranged in sequence along the air flow direction to cool the passing air and reduce its temperature to become cold air.
