Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pressure relief devices, and in particular to a pressure relief device for transformers. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, transformers may experience a rapid increase in oil temperature in the tank due to internal faults. This causes the oil to decompose and produce a large amount of gas, which in turn causes the internal pressure of the transformer to rise rapidly. If the pressure cannot be released in time, it may lead to serious accidents such as transformer tank rupture or explosion. Therefore, a pressure relief device for transformers is needed.
[0003] Chinese patent provides a pressure relief device for an oil-immersed transformer, publication number CN220474417U, which includes a housing. A collecting component is fixedly connected to the left end of the housing. A lower connecting shell is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing. A threaded pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower connecting shell. A control component is movably installed on the outer surface of the lower connecting shell. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to the lower parts of the left and right inner walls of the housing. A top plate is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the housing. Several through holes of No. 1 are opened at the upper end of the top plate. A release component is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top plate. An upper connecting shell is fixedly connected to the upper end of the housing.
[0004] The above-mentioned device releases pressure by setting a release component, which is simple and convenient and effectively improves the stability of the device, thereby improving the pressure release effect. However, when the device is in use, a transformer failure causes the oil temperature to rise sharply, the oil decomposes and produces a large amount of gas, and the gas will continue to accumulate, causing the internal pressure of the transformer to rise rapidly. The gas discharge can easily damage the release device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a pressure relief device for transformers, which can effectively solve the technical problem in the background art that gas will continuously accumulate, causing the internal pressure of the transformer to rise rapidly, and the gas discharge will easily damage the relief device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A pressure relief device for a transformer includes an oil tank. Two support frames are fixedly installed at the bottom of the oil tank, and two connecting plates are fixedly installed at the top of the oil tank. A connecting box is fixedly installed on the adjacent surfaces of the two connecting plates. An air inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting box and communicates with the oil tank. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the connecting box, and an impeller is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a first bevel gear is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the impeller, and a connecting shaft is provided on one side of the outer wall of the first bevel gear, with the bottom of the connecting shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting box.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a second bevel gear is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer wall of the connecting shaft, the second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear, and a screw is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting shaft.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an exhaust pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting box, and a fixing ring is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the exhaust pipe near the top.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, four rotating blocks are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed ring, and rotating plates are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the four rotating blocks. A baffle is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of each of the four rotating plates.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the exhaust pipe is provided with a sliding groove, the outer wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected with a sliding block, and the sliding block is threadedly connected to a screw. Four connecting rods are fixedly installed on the top of the sliding block.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1) This transformer uses a pressure relief device. When a fault occurs during transformer operation, causing a large amount of gas to be generated in the oil tank, the continuous increase of gas causes the impeller to rotate. When the impeller rotates, it causes the first bevel gear to rotate. Through the meshing connection between the first and second bevel gears, the rotation of the first bevel gear can drive the second bevel gear to rotate, causing the connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the screw to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the sliding block and the screw, the rotation of the screw can cause the sliding block to move up and down. The upward movement of the sliding block will drive the connecting rod to push open the baffle, reducing the continuous accumulation of gas during the generation process. Furthermore, the gas is guided away from the oil tank through the exhaust pipe, reducing the occurrence of accidents.
[0015] 2) The transformer uses a pressure relief device. Gas is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe. After the gas is discharged, the operator can rotate the screw to move the sliding block down the sliding groove and cover the top of the exhaust pipe again. This can prevent external dust and moisture from entering the oil tank, ensuring the oil tank's sealing and the normal operation of the transformer. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 2
[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, an exhaust pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting box 4. A fixing ring 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 12. Four rotating blocks 14 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing ring 13.
