Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer moisture absorption technology, and in particular to a transformer moisture absorption device. Background Technology

[0002] A transformer is a device that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to change alternating current voltage. Its main components are the primary coil, secondary coil, and iron core (magnetic core). Its main functions include voltage transformation, current transformation, impedance transformation, isolation, and voltage stabilization (magnetically saturated transformers). A transformer dehumidifier, also called a transformer breather or transformer silica gel tank, absorbs moisture from the air entering the transformer oil conservator bladder and diaphragm. It removes and dries impurities and moisture from the air entering the transformer oil conservator bladder due to changes in transformer oil temperature, preventing the transformer from becoming damp and ensuring the insulation strength of the transformer oil. Current transformer dehumidifiers are single-channel. After a period of use, the silica gel particles inside become saturated, preventing the passing gas from being absorbed. At this point, the silica gel particles need to be replaced or dried; otherwise, moisture will enter the transformer and affect its insulation strength. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems and deficiencies by proposing a transformer moisture-absorbing device: a heating wire heats and evaporates the silica gel particles in tank one or tank two; a valve on the exhaust pipe is opened, and a fan drives the gas from top to bottom to discharge the evaporated moisture from the exhaust pipe, facilitating the heating and restoration of the silica gel particles.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A transformer dehumidification device includes a tank body one and a tank body two. A connecting pipe is connected to the center of the top outer wall of both tank body one and tank body two, and an air inlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of both tank body one and tank body two on the side closest to each other.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-3As shown, a connecting pipe 3 is connected to the center of the top outer wall of both tank 1 and tank 2, and an air inlet pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the outer wall of both tank 1 and tank 2 on the side closest to each other. One end of the connecting pipe 3 and the air inlet pipe 5 of tank 1 and tank 2 is respectively equipped with a three-way valve 4 and a three-way valve 6, and a drying structure is provided at the three-way valve 4. The drying structure includes a drying pipe 9 connected to one end of the top outer wall of tank 1 and tank 2, an exhaust pipe 10 connected to the center of the bottom outer wall of tank 1 and tank 2, and a fan 7 installed at one end of the three-way valve 4. The input end of the fan 7 is connected to one end of the three-way valve 4, and the other two ends of the three-way valve 4 are respectively connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 3 on tank 1 and tank 2.

[0021] The connecting pipe 3 and the air inlet pipe 5 on tank 1 and tank 2 are respectively controlled to open by three-way valve 1 4 and three-way valve 2 6, so that the fan 7 can use tank 1 or tank 2 2 for dehumidification, which is convenient for alternation and easy to use.

[0022] Once one tank (1) is saturated, the other tank (2) is used. At the same time, the four-way valve (8) is opened in conjunction with the heating wire (15) to perform the recovery operation, which facilitates reuse and moisture removal. Example

[0023] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown, the two ends of the three-way valve 6 are respectively connected to one end of the air inlet pipe 5 of tank 1 and tank 2, and the other end of the three-way valve 6 is connected to a filter pipe 12. The inner wall of the filter pipe 12 is provided with filter material, and an interception net 13 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the filter pipe 12. The output end of the fan 7 is connected to a four-way valve 8, and the two ends of the four-way valve 8 are respectively connected to one end of the drying pipe 9, and one end of the four-way valve 8 is connected to a transformer. A valve 11 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the exhaust pipe 10, and a heat insulation cover 14 is installed on the outer wall of tank 1 and tank 2. Heating wires 15 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the heat insulation cover 14. Silica gel drying particles are provided on the inner wall of tank 1 and tank 2, and the heating wires 15 and the fan 7 are connected to a switch through a wire, and the switch is connected to a power source through a wire.

[0024] Heating wire 15 is located on the outer wall of tank body 1 and tank body 2. At the same time, heat insulation cover 14 protects heating wire 15, which facilitates heat insulation and ensures heat transfer.

[0025] The gas enters through the filter tube 12 and first comes into contact with the interception net 13 and filter material in the filter tube 12. The filter material and the interception net 13 filter and adsorb the gas respectively, further reducing the particulate matter in the gas.

[0026] Working principle: During use, after the fan starts, gas is drawn in through three-way valve 1 (4), connecting pipe 3, tank 1 (1) or tank 2 (2), inlet pipe 5, and three-way valve 2 (6). The gas enters through filter pipe 12 and first comes into contact with the interceptor mesh 13 and filter media in filter pipe 12. The filter media and interceptor mesh 13 filter and adsorb the gas respectively, further reducing the particulate matter in the gas. Then the gas enters tank 1 (1) or tank 2 (2), where silica gel particles absorb moisture from the gas. The gas is then transported by fan 7 through connecting pipe 3 and three-way valve 1 (4), completing the gas purification process. During the moisture absorption process, tank 1 and tank 2 alternately absorb moisture from the gas to improve the moisture absorption efficiency. This further avoids the problem of moisture affecting the insulation performance. When the silica gel particles in tank 1 or tank 2 are saturated, the four-way valve 8 is opened to connect the output end of the fan 7 to the drying pipe 9. The heating wire 15 in the heat insulation cover 14 is activated, and the heating wire 15 heats and evaporates the silica gel particles in tank 1 or tank 2. The valve 11 on the exhaust pipe 10 is opened, and the fan 7 drives the gas from top to bottom to discharge the evaporated moisture from the exhaust pipe 10, which facilitates the heating and restoration of the silica gel particles.
