Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of transformer insulating oil testing, and in particular to a transformer insulating oil dielectric strength testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In large power grids, the safe and stable operation of power transformers is crucial, and transformer insulating oil, as a key component of transformers, directly affects the insulation performance and service life of the transformer. With the continuous expansion of power grid scale and the increase in voltage levels, the requirements for the accuracy and reliability of transformer insulating oil testing are also becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] Transformer insulating oil plays a vital role in power systems, providing insulation and heat dissipation. Its dielectric strength is a key indicator for measuring its insulation performance. Accurately measuring the dielectric strength of transformer insulating oil is crucial for ensuring the safe and stable operation of transformers.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN202420563562.6 discloses a field testing device for transformer insulating oil breakdown voltage, comprising a testing box and support feet. The testing box contains a testing device and a filtering device. This field testing device detects the temperature of the insulating oil using a temperature sensor. When the oil temperature is too low, the electric heating wire inside the heating box is activated to heat the insulating oil inside the oil delivery pipe, thus preventing unstable oil temperature from affecting the test results. Mechanical vibration, partial discharge, and aging of the paper insulation during transformer operation generate a large number of solid impurity particles in the transformer oil, such as iron particles, copper particles, carbon particles, and fiber particles. Therefore, after the test is completed, the insulating oil is discharged through the drain pipe into the filter box, where the filter screen intercepts and filters out the solid particles inside the insulating oil, thereby increasing the service life of the insulating oil.

[0005] The aforementioned technologies have the following drawbacks: The testing devices primarily test the dielectric strength of the extracted insulating oil. For large power grid transformers, the insulating oil contains many impurities, which easily clog the filter screen. This affects the normal flow of the insulating oil, hindering the testing process and reducing testing efficiency. Furthermore, replacing the filter screen requires shutting down the machine, disconnecting the flow, and opening the sealed top cover, which not only interrupts the test but also easily causes secondary contamination of the insulating oil.

[0042] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] This application discloses a device for testing the dielectric strength of transformer insulating oil. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5 It includes:

[0044] The test chamber 1 is equipped with a dielectric strength testing unit 2 for testing the dielectric strength of transformer insulating oil. The dielectric strength testing unit 2 is existing technology and can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0045] The oil drain pipe 211 is connected to the right end of the detection pipe 21 of the dielectric strength detection unit 2 and is used to drain the tested insulating oil.

[0046] The return pipe 3 is located on the outside of the detection box 1 and forms a circulation loop with the dielectric strength detection unit 2.

[0047] Mounting bracket 4 is fixed between oil drain pipe 211 and return pipe 3. On the side facing the sealing door 11 of the detection box 1, a first mounting cavity 41 and a second mounting cavity 42 are opened side by side along its vertical direction.

[0048] The filter unit has two units, which are respectively detachably installed in the first mounting cavity 41 and the second mounting cavity 42. Each filter unit includes a filter box 5 and a handle 51 for easy operation of the filter box 5.

[0049] The first branch pipe 411 and the second branch pipe 421 are connected to the oil drain pipe 211 and the first mounting cavity 41, respectively, and are used to guide the insulating oil into the corresponding filter unit.

[0050] The linkage ball valve group 6 consists of two ball valves 6 arranged opposite each other. The ball valves 6 are respectively located at the ends of the first branch pipe 411 and the second branch pipe 421 near the oil drain pipe 211, and the free ends of the valve stems of the two ball valves 6 are fixedly connected to form a synchronous reverse motion mechanism, which can simultaneously control the opening and closing of the two pipes.

[0051] The return cavity 43 is located at one end of the mounting bracket 4 near the return pipe 3 and is connected to the bottom of the first mounting cavity 41 and the second mounting cavity 42.

[0052] The manifold 431 is located at the end of the return cavity 43 and is connected to the return pipe 3, so as to introduce the collected insulating oil into the return pipe 3.

[0053] In the initial state, the ball valve 6 on the first branch pipe 411 is open, and the ball valve 6 on the second branch pipe 421 is closed. At this time, the insulating oil flowing from the drain pipe 211 passes through the first branch pipe 411 and enters the filter unit in the first mounting cavity 41 for filtration and purification. The filtered insulating oil then flows into the return cavity 43 and into the return pipe 3. When the filter unit in the first mounting cavity 41 becomes clogged after a period of use, the ball valve 6 on the first branch pipe 411 can be closed and the ball valve 6 on the second branch pipe 421 opened by operating the synchronous reverse motion mechanism. This allows the insulating oil to pass through the second branch pipe 421 and enter the filter unit in the second mounting cavity 42 for filtration and purification, while the filter unit in the first mounting cavity 41 can be replaced or maintained. This switching method allows for the alternating use and maintenance of the filter units without stopping the device operation, ensuring continuous operation of the device. This effectively improves the problem of test interruption caused by filter replacement in the aforementioned testing device.

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Both the inlet and outlet ends of the filter box 5 are fitted with sealing rings 52. The sealing rings 52 are made of elastic, oil-resistant, and temperature-resistant materials. The embedded installation ensures the stability of the sealing rings 52 and prevents them from shifting. For the transformer insulating oil dielectric strength testing device, the flow of insulating oil at the inlet and outlet will generate a certain pressure. The embedded installation ensures that the sealing rings 52 are always in the correct position, maintaining a good sealing effect. The thickness of the sealing rings 52 is greater than the installation gap between the filter box 5 and the mounting bracket 4, allowing the sealing rings 52 to tightly fill the gap between the filter box 5 and the mounting bracket 4, preventing insulating oil leakage.

[0055] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3An annular groove 44 is formed on the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 41 and the second mounting cavity 42 corresponding to the position of the sealing ring 52. The width of the groove is slightly larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the sealing ring 52, so that the sealing ring 52 can be smoothly embedded and the sealing effect will not be affected by excessive gap. The sealing ring 52 is interference-fitted into the annular groove 44 to form a radial seal.

[0056] When the filter box 5 is installed on the mounting bracket 4, the sealing ring 52 is subjected to radial pressure from the filter box 5 and the mounting bracket 4. This pressure causes the sealing ring 52 to undergo elastic deformation, tightly fitting against the inner wall of the annular groove 44 and the contact surface of the filter box 5 and the mounting bracket 4, thereby forming a radial seal and further improving the stability of the sealing effect.

[0057] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The top of the filter box 5 is equipped with a flexible buckle 53, which is made of a material with good elasticity and wear resistance. The mounting bracket 4 has a slot 45 for the buckle 53 to cooperate with it.

[0058] Thus, when the filter box 5 needs to be disassembled, the operator only needs to apply a certain external force to the elastic buckle 53 to cause it to deform elastically, and the buckle head can be disengaged from the slot 45, thereby achieving quick disassembly of the filter box 5. This disassembly method facilitates the cleaning, maintenance and replacement of the filter box 5; and, after the elastic buckle 53 is inserted into the slot 45, a certain pre-tightening force is generated due to the elastic effect, so that the buckle head and the slot 45 fit tightly together, preventing the filter box 5 from loosening due to vibration or other reasons during use.

[0059] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The end of the buckle 53 is provided with a guide slope (not shown in the figure), the slope angle of which is between 15° and 45°. The slope gradually narrows from the end of the buckle 53 toward the main body of the buckle 53, forming a guide structure. A lever 531 is fixedly connected to the outside of the buckle 53. The surface of the lever 531 is provided with an anti-slip structure, which can be an anti-slip protrusion or an anti-slip groove.

[0060] The guide ramp allows the clip 53 to quickly and accurately locate the slot 45, reducing adjustment time during installation. Simultaneously, the reduced installation resistance allows operators to more quickly insert the clip 53 into the slot 45, completing the installation of the filter box 5. The design of the lever 531 facilitates disassembly; operators can easily detach the clip 53 from the slot 45 with a gentle push of the lever 531, without the need for complex tools or excessive force. The anti-slip structure prevents accidental injury caused by slipping fingers during disassembly.

[0061] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 4 The top of the filter box 5 is provided with a transparent observation window 54. The transparent observation window 54 is made of a material with high transparency and good oil resistance, such as acrylic, so that the operator can understand the internal condition of the filter box 5 in real time without disassembling the filter box 5, just by looking through the observation window 54, which greatly saves time and effort.

[0062] At the same time, refer to Figure 1 A handle 61 is fixedly connected to the valve stem connection of the two ball valves 6. The design of the handle 61 makes it easier for the operator to turn the ball valves 6, thus improving the convenience of the testing device.

[0063] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The position of the manifold 431 is lower than the outlet end of the filter box 5 located below, so that the insulating oil in the return cavity 43 can flow fully into the return pipe 3 and avoid it remaining in the return cavity 43.

[0064] The implementation principle of the transformer insulating oil dielectric strength testing device in this application is as follows:

[0065] Initially, the ball valve 6 on the first branch pipe 411 is open, and the ball valve 6 on the second branch pipe 421 is closed. At this time, the insulating oil flowing from the drain pipe 211 passes through the first branch pipe 411 and enters the filter unit in the first mounting cavity 41 for filtration and purification. The filtered insulating oil then flows into the return cavity 43 and into the return pipe 3. When the filter unit in the first mounting cavity 41 becomes clogged after a period of use, the ball valve 6 on the first branch pipe 411 can be closed and the ball valve 6 on the second branch pipe 421 opened by operating the synchronous reverse motion mechanism. In this way, the insulating oil will pass through the second branch pipe 421 and enter the filter unit in the second mounting cavity 42 for filtration and purification, while the filter unit in the first mounting cavity 41 can be replaced or maintained. This switching method allows for the alternating use and maintenance of the filter units without stopping the device operation, ensuring continuous operation of the device. This effectively improves the problem of test interruption caused by filter replacement in the aforementioned testing device.
