Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer technology, and in particular to a power transformer with overload protection function. Background Technology

[0002] A power transformer is an electrical device used for alternating current (AC) voltage conversion. Its main function is to convert AC power of one voltage level to AC power of another. Transformers operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction, effectively changing voltage without altering the frequency of the electrical energy, thus meeting the needs of different power systems. Overload protection devices for some power transformers typically use fuses, which have the ability to completely interrupt current in overload protection. In existing technology, once a fuse blows, the circuit is completely broken, preventing any further current from flowing and protecting electrical equipment from overload damage. However, it needs to be replaced after blowing, requiring the purchase of a new fuse each time it blows. While the cost of a single fuse is low, frequent fuse blowing can significantly increase maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem in existing technologies where fuses need to be replaced after each blow, requiring the purchase of a new fuse each time. While the cost of a single fuse is low, many large-scale power systems or equipment require multiple fuses. Frequent fuse blowouts significantly increase maintenance costs. This invention proposes a power transformer with overload protection.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A power transformer with overload protection function includes a power transformer body and multiple pairs of connecting wires installed on the power transformer body, and further includes: a pair of cutting mechanisms, which are installed on the power transformer body and cut the connecting wires after moving horizontally; and a drive mechanism installed on the upper surface of the power transformer body to simultaneously open or close the pair of cutting mechanisms.

[0005] Optionally, the cutting mechanism includes a drive rod, the lower surface of which is fixedly connected with a plurality of sliding blades that hold the connecting wires, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected with a base plate, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected with a sliding block, and a pair of support rails that support the horizontal sliding of the corresponding drive rod are fixedly connected to the power transformer body, the top of which is provided with a sliding groove for the sliding block to be engaged.

[0006] Optionally, the drive mechanism includes a dual-axis motor fixedly connected to the upper surface of the power transformer body. The dual-axis motor is connected to the input terminal of the controller. An infrared temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature of the connecting wire is also provided on the upper surface of the power transformer body directly below the dual-axis motor. The infrared temperature sensor is connected to the output terminal of the controller. A pair of output shafts of the dual-axis motor are fixedly connected to rotating rods. A gear is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the dual-axis motor. A rack that meshes with the gear is provided on the upper surface of the drive rod.

[0007] Optionally, a pair of support blocks are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the power transformer body to support the rotation of the corresponding rotating rod.

[0008] Optionally, the upper surface of the power transformer body is provided with a protective cover to cover the drive mechanism.

[0009] Optionally, a pair of connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both outer walls of the protective cover, and mounting screws are movably connected to each connecting block. The upper surface of the power transformer body has multiple screw holes that are spirally connected to the bottom end of the mounting screws.

[0010] Optionally, a pair of the cutting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the power transformer body with the infrared temperature sensor as the center.

[0011] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0012] This invention utilizes the coordination of connecting wires, a cutting mechanism, and a driving mechanism. When the connecting wires of the power transformer experience overload during long-term operation, the overload protection device does not require frequent replacement; simply reconnecting the connecting wires to the power transformer suffices. Especially in high-load, high-frequency environments, it avoids reliance on one-time disconnection and replacement, resulting in a lower replacement frequency and reduced maintenance costs.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model proposes a power transformer with overload protection function, including a power transformer body 1 and several pairs of connecting wires 11 installed on the power transformer body 1. Each connecting wire 11 passes between a pair of sliding blades 92. A pair of support blocks 6 supporting the rotation of the corresponding rotating rod 4 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the power transformer body 1. A protective cover 7 covering the drive mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the power transformer body 1. A pair of connecting blocks 71 are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the protective cover 7. Each connecting block 71 is movably connected to a mounting screw 72, which facilitates the installation and removal of the protective cover 7 from the drive mechanism. The upper surface of the power transformer body 1 has multiple screw holes 12 that are spirally connected to the bottom end of the mounting screws 72. The power transformer body 1 also includes: a pair of cutting mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the power transformer body 1 with the infrared temperature sensor 3 as the center. After moving horizontally on the power transformer body 1, the cutting mechanisms cut the connecting wires 11; and a drive mechanism installed on the upper surface of the power transformer body 1 that simultaneously opens or closes the pair of cutting mechanisms.

[0025] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism includes a drive rod 9, the lower surface of which is fixedly connected to multiple sliding blades 92 that hold the connecting wires 11. The sliding blades 92 are made of copper alloy, which has excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Copper alloy also has a certain degree of hardness, ensuring that it will not be excessively worn when cutting under high current. A base plate 93 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding blades 92, and a sliding block 94 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base plate 93. The sliding block 94 slides in the sliding groove 81 to ensure that the cutting mechanism slides horizontally. A pair of support rails 8 are fixedly connected to the power transformer body 1 to support the horizontal sliding of the drive rod 9. The top of the support rails 8 has a sliding groove 81 for the sliding block 94 to be engaged.

[0026] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a dual-axis motor 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the power transformer body 1. The dual-axis motor 2 is a motor with two independent axes (or rotation directions), typically used in applications requiring precise control in two different directions. The main characteristic of this type of motor is its ability to provide power in both axes and to independently control the rotation of each axis. The dual-axis motor 2 is connected to the input terminal of the controller. An infrared temperature sensor 3, monitoring the temperature of the connecting wire 11, is also located on the upper surface of the power transformer body 1 directly below the dual-axis motor 2. The infrared temperature sensor 3 is a sensor that measures the temperature of an object using the principle of infrared radiation. Unlike traditional contact temperature sensors (such as thermocouples or RTD sensors), the infrared temperature sensor estimates the temperature of an object by sensing the infrared radiation emitted from its surface; therefore, it is a non-contact temperature measurement method. The infrared temperature sensor 3 is connected to the output terminal of the controller. A pair of output shafts of the dual-axis motor 2 are each fixedly connected to a rotating rod 4. A gear 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 4 away from the dual-axis motor 2. A rack 91 meshes with the gear 5 on the upper surface of the driving rod 9.

[0027] In this embodiment, when a power transformer with overload protection is required, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when the overload temperature of the connecting wire 11 connected to the power transformer body 1 is high, the infrared temperature sensor 3 detects that the temperature of the connecting wire 11 is too high and sends a signal to the controller. Upon receiving the signal, the controller starts the dual-axis motor 2. After the dual-axis motor 2 starts, a pair of output shafts drive the corresponding rotating rod 4 to rotate. The end of the rotating rod 4 away from the dual-axis motor 2 drives the corresponding gear 5 to rotate. Since the gear 5 is meshed with the rack 91 on the upper surface of the driving rod 9, the gear 5 drives the rack 91 to move horizontally. The rack 91 then drives the driving rod 9 and multiple sliding blades 92 at its bottom to move in sequence. After moving, the multiple sliding blades 92 can cut the corresponding connecting wire 11, thereby protecting the power transformer body 1 and preventing damage to the power transformer body 1. When the multiple sliding blades 92 move, they drive the bottom plate 93 at its bottom to move. The bottom plate 93 drives the sliding block 94 at its bottom to slide in the sliding slot 81 through the support of the support rail 8. When the dual-axis motor 2 is restarted, the pair of output shafts of the dual-axis motor 2 drive the corresponding rotating rod 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the cutting mechanism can be restored to its original position, and the cut-off connecting wire 11 can be reconnected to the power transformer body 1 for reuse.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of this utility model described above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
