Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer technology, and in particular to a vacuum on-load tap changer insulating oil sampling device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the power grid and the upgrading of equipment, oil-immersed vacuum on-load tap changers have gradually entered the power industry. Although vacuum on-load tap changers have stronger technical advantages, they can also have quality problems, leading to failures. Moreover, these failures are more concealed and sudden, and if they are not detected and handled in a timely and effective manner, they will cause serious consequences.
[0003] On-load tap changers allow adjustment of the transformer's output voltage by changing the tap position during transformer operation. Vacuum on-load tap changers rely on vacuum tubes for arc extinguishing, replacing the arc contacts of oil-immersed tap changers. This allows arc extinguishing to occur within the vacuum tube, thus protecting the tap changer's insulating oil and overall insulation.
[0004] Existing methods for sampling insulating oil often rely on simple tools, such as basins or storage tubes, which are directly connected to the transformer's inlet for sampling. However, this traditional method has several shortcomings: First, during operation, the lack of effective sealing and control measures makes it easy for insulating oil to splash, causing environmental pollution; second, this method requires operators to wait for the insulating oil to flow out naturally, which is not only inefficient but also increases labor costs and time consumption; third, because the sampling flow rate and speed cannot be precisely controlled, the sampling results may be inaccurate, affecting subsequent analysis and making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0010] In one specific implementation, the surface of the rotating block has three through cavities in sequence, and the surface of the mounting box is fixedly connected to a fixing box.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] Traditional methods for sampling insulating oil suffer from several drawbacks due to the use of simple tools directly connected to transformer inlets. These methods are prone to splashing and environmental pollution, are inefficient, costly, and suffer from inaccurate sampling due to difficulty in precisely controlling flow and speed. Therefore, the inventors have developed a vacuum on-load tap changer insulating oil sampling device. Through the design of the sampling components, this device not only efficiently extracts and safely stores transformer insulating oil, significantly shortening sampling time, improving work efficiency, and reducing labor costs, but also prevents liquid backflow and splashing, ensuring sampling accuracy and environmental safety. Furthermore, the automation function enhances the convenience and reliability of operation, thus overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings.
[0029] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a vacuum on-load tap changer insulating oil sampling device, including a transformer port 1. A first flange 11 is installed at the bottom of the transformer port 1. The transformer port 1 is the outlet of the insulating oil pipeline installed on the surface of the transformer. A sampling component 2 is provided on the surface of the first flange 11. The sampling component 2 includes a second flange 21, wherein the second flange 21 is threadedly connected to the first flange 11 by bolts. The dimensions of the second flange 21 are: thickness 10mm, outer diameter 110mm, hole center distance 85mm, hole diameter 14mm, and center opening with M16 internal thread. A sealing gasket 22 is installed on the top of the second flange 21, and the top of the sealing gasket 22 is connected to the first flange 11. The bottom of the two flanges are in contact with each other to achieve a sealing effect and prevent leakage during oil sampling. The bottom of the second flange 21 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 23, wherein the outer surface of the connecting block 23 is provided with an external thread, and the bottom of the connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to a sampling port 24. The sampling port 24 and the center of the inner cavity of the connecting block 23 are evenly provided with an open structure, which facilitates the user to sample oil through the open structure. The outer surface of the connecting block 23 is threadedly connected to a sampling valve cover 25, wherein the inner cavity of the sampling valve cover 25 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread, and the inner cavity of the sampling valve cover 25 is equipped with a sampling valve inner cover 26 that contacts the surface of the sampling port 24. The inner cavity of the transformer pipe port 1 is connected to a first sampling hose 27.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 2 to 9An installation box 28 is mounted on the outer surface of the first sampling hose 27. Three sealing gaskets 215 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the installation box 28. The surfaces of the three sealing gaskets 215 are respectively fixedly connected to the first sampling hose 27, the second sampling hose 29, and the third sampling hose 223. One side of each sealing gasket 215 has an opening to facilitate the communication of insulating oil, and the surface of the sealing gasket 215 has an arc shape. A storage bottle 210 is installed at the bottom of the second sampling hose 29, and the bottom of the second sampling hose 29 extends into the storage bottle 210 to facilitate the storage of extracted insulating oil. One end of the third sampling hose 223 is connected to a sampling needle 211. A rotating rod 2 is installed through the inner cavity of the installation box 28. 12. A rotating block 213 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 212. The area of the rotating rod 212 in contact with the mounting box 28 is sealed to prevent oil leakage. Three through cavities 214 are sequentially opened on the surface of the rotating block 213. The three through cavities 214 are located at the top and left and right sides of the rotating block 213, respectively. The sealed area at the bottom of the rotating block 213 is in contact with the second sampling hose 29. A fixed box 216 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting box 28. The fixed box 216 is made of transparent glass to facilitate the user's observation of the internal structure of the fixed box 216. Several return springs 218 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixed box 216. A toothed disc 217 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the fixed box 216.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 3 to 9 One end of the return spring 218 is fixedly connected to the surface of the toothed disc 217, one end of the rotating rod 212 extends to the outside of the fixed box 216, and a gear 219 that meshes with the toothed disc 217 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 212. A telescopic rod 220 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed box 216. Figure 9 As shown, the telescopic rod 220 includes a rod, a spring is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the rod, a base plate is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the base plate, a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate, and one end of the positioning rod extends through to the outside of the rod. A locking rod 221 is fixedly connected to the surface of the toothed disc 217, and one end of the locking rod 221 extends through to the outside of the fixed box 216. A locking hole 222 is opened on the surface of the locking rod 221 to cooperate with the telescopic rod 220, and the locking hole 222 cooperates with the positioning rod.
[0033] Specifically, during the extraction of insulating oil, the insulating oil first flows into the rotating block 213 through the first sampling hose 27, then from the rotating block 213 into the third sampling hose 223, and finally into the sampling needle 211. When it is necessary to introduce insulating oil into the sampling needle 211, the operator needs to pull the positioning rod on the telescopic rod 220 upwards, and at the same time manually pull the toothed disc 217 away from the gear 219. This action will stretch the return spring 218. After the positioning rod cooperates with the locking hole 222 to achieve the locking function, the user can manually twist the rotating rod 212 to rotate the rotating block 213, which in turn drives the through cavity 214 to rotate to the position above the second sampling hose 29.
[0034] During this process, the non-porous portion at the bottom of the rotating block 213 rotates to the direction of the first sampling tube 27, effectively blocking the first sampling tube 27 and preventing liquid backflow. After completing the above steps, the user pushes the sampling needle 211 to allow the liquid to flow through the second sampling tube 29 into the storage bottle 210 for sampling and storage, ensuring that the operation is simple, safe, and efficient.
[0035] In summary, the working principle of a vacuum on-load tap changer insulating oil sampling device according to this utility model embodiment is as follows: After the user first secures the second flange 21 to the first flange 11 with bolts, the user manually connects the first sampling hose 27 to the sampling port 24. Then, the user manually pulls the sampling needle 211, which draws the liquid from the transformer port 1 through the sampling assembly 2 into the first sampling hose 27. The liquid then flows through the first sampling hose 27 into the third sampling hose 223 and the sampling needle 211. At this time, the user manually rotates and blocks the position of the first sampling hose 27. Then, the user manually pushes the sampling needle 211 to draw the liquid through the second sampling hose 29 into the storage test bottle 210 for storage, which is convenient for use.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
