Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing equipment, and in particular relates to an auxiliary device for sound level measurement. Background Technology
[0002] Transformer sound level testing is a crucial technical step in assessing the noise characteristics of operating equipment, and its measurement results directly affect whether the product meets national electromagnetic equipment noise limits. Accurate sound level testing is not only related to the environmental compliance of power equipment, but also an important technical means to ensure the acoustic environment quality around substations and monitor the mechanical condition of equipment.
[0003] The current measurement scheme uses an external power supply system to apply simulated load or no-load operation to the transformer, and collects sound signals by manually holding a sound level measuring device or fixing a wired probe on a temporary stand. In practice, multiple measurement points need to be preset on the surface of the test sample according to standard specifications, and the operator needs to repeatedly adjust the spatial position of the sound level meter to record data at multiple points.
[0004] The limitations of this traditional measurement method are becoming increasingly apparent: First, manually adjusting the handheld sound level meter or measuring head under energized conditions poses a risk of electric shock. Second, manual positioning leads to deviations in the measurement distance between each measuring point and the transformer body, resulting in poor consistency in the distance between the sound level probe and the test sample, affecting the overall data values. Furthermore, manual switching between multiple measuring points causes long testing times and low detection efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an auxiliary device for transformer sound level measurement that eliminates the need for close-range manual operation, ensures good consistency in the measurement distance between each measuring point and the transformer body, and allows for simultaneous measurement at multiple points. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the deficiencies and defects mentioned in the background art above, and to provide a transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device with high safety, accurate measurement data, and applicability to transformers of different models and sizes.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device includes multiple sound level probes for collecting sound signals from the transformer, and a probe support frame covering the outer periphery of the transformer. The multiple sound level probes are arranged circumferentially along the probe support frame, and each sound level probe is on the same horizontal plane and the distance from each sound level probe to the outer surface of the transformer is equal.
[0008] In the aforementioned transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device, preferably, the sound level probe is mounted on the rod of the probe support frame via a probe bracket, and the probe bracket is rotatably connected to the rod via a clamping member around the rod's axis. By rotating the probe bracket, the measurement distance between the sound level probe and the corresponding measuring point on the transformer's outer surface can be adjusted according to measurement requirements, making it suitable for transformers of different models and sizes. Simultaneously, the height of the sound level probe can be fine-tuned.
[0009] In the aforementioned transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device, preferably, the top of the probe support frame is equipped with a vertically extendable suspended telescopic frame, and the suspended telescopic frame, the probe support frame, and the transformer are coaxially arranged. Through the suspended telescopic frame, the probe support frame can be suspended directly above the transformer. According to the height of the transformer's measuring point, the suspended telescopic frame can be vertically extended or retracted, ensuring that the sound level probe mounted on the probe support frame is at the same horizontal plane as the corresponding measuring point on the transformer. This reduces measurement errors caused by height deviations, meets the measurement needs of transformers of various models and heights, and has a wide range of applications.
[0010] In the aforementioned transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device, preferably, the suspended telescopic frame includes a telescopic component capable of vertical extension and retraction, and a suspension base located at the upper end of the telescopic component, the suspension base being fixedly connected to the building roof. The fixed connection of the suspension base to the building roof provides stable suspension support for the entire probe support frame, ensuring the stability of the measuring device during vertical extension and retraction. The telescopic component can be flexibly adjusted in length, allowing the probe support frame to be precisely suspended directly above the transformer and adapting to the needs of measuring points at different heights, making operation convenient. Simultaneously, this structure only requires placing the transformer at the center point directly below the probe support frame to ensure the accuracy of the sound level probe measurement, while avoiding the swaying and positional deviation problems that may arise from traditional ground supports.
[0011] In the aforementioned transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device, preferably, the telescopic assembly includes multiple sets of vertically arranged cross arms and a lifting drive component for driving the cross arms to expand and retract to achieve telescopic movement. Each cross arm comprises multiple pairs of X-shaped hinged linkages. The use of multiple pairs of X-shaped hinged linkages in the cross arms forms a stable geometric structure, enabling the telescopic assembly to withstand large vertical loads, meeting the weight requirements of the suspended telescopic frame supporting the probe bearing frame and multiple sound level probes. Furthermore, it effectively distributes and bears the load during telescopic movement, ensuring the stability and reliability of the telescopic assembly during lifting and lowering. In addition, by incorporating the lifting drive component, manual intervention is reduced, improving measurement safety.
[0012] In the aforementioned transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device, preferably, several reinforcing crossbars are provided between the multiple sets of cross arms. By setting the reinforcing crossbars, a more integrated telescopic structure can be formed, effectively preventing local deformation of the telescopic component under stress, improving the rigidity and stability of the telescopic component, reducing probe position displacement caused by unstable telescopic movement, and improving the accuracy of sound level measurement.
[0013] In the aforementioned transformer sound level measurement auxiliary device, preferably, the probe support frame is a double-layer three-dimensional frame structure, including an upper ring frame fixedly connected to the lower end of the suspended telescopic frame, and a lower ring frame arranged parallel to it below. Multiple sound level probes are evenly spaced on the lower ring frame. This arrangement provides a stable support foundation by fixing the upper ring frame to the lower end of the suspended telescopic frame, while the lower ring frame has sufficient space to accommodate the sound level probes, allowing them to be evenly spaced to form a complete measurement ring. Furthermore, all sound level probes have greater space to rotate around the frame, facilitating flexible adjustment of the probe orientation according to the transformer specifications.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention effectively solves the problem of inconsistent measurement distances caused by positioning deviations in traditional manual measurements, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurement data. Secondly, it eliminates the need for manual handheld sound level meters or frequent adjustments to the measuring head position, greatly reducing the risk of electric shock that may be encountered during manual operation under energized conditions and protecting the personal safety of operators. Furthermore, it enables simultaneous measurement at multiple points, changing the previous situation where manual switching between multiple measurement points resulted in long test times per test, greatly improving detection efficiency. Thus, it provides a more advanced, safe, and reliable auxiliary method for the accurate and efficient measurement of transformer sound levels. Attached Figure Description
