[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4According to a first aspect of the present invention, an oil injection gun includes a first oil supply pipe 110, a valve 200, a reducing connector 300, and an oil injection pipe 400. The first oil supply pipe 110 and the valve 200 are disposed on the first oil supply pipe 110. The reducing connector 300 has a large-diameter end and a small-diameter end, with the large-diameter end disposed on the valve 200. The oil injection pipe 400 includes a first pipe section 410, a bent section 420, and a second pipe section 430 connected in sequence. The first pipe section 410 is connected to the small-diameter end of the reducing connector 300. The second pipe section 430 is used to insert into the oil injection port 810 of the oil tank 800, and the second pipe section 430 can extend to the bottom of the oil tank 800. The bend can change the output direction of the second pipe section 430 used for oil injection, making it easier for personnel to operate the oil injection from the side of the oil tank 800 without having to move the entire oil injection gun to the top of the transformer oil tank 800 for oil injection. This facilitates operation. Furthermore, the second pipe section 430 can extend into the bottom of the oil tank 800, allowing the oil to enter from the bottom of the oil tank 800. This avoids severe shearing between the air and oil inside the tank, reduces air entrapment, and thus reduces the generation of air bubbles.
[0034] Specifically, foam formation primarily stems from the mixing and stabilization of gases in the oil. When transformer oil is subjected to violent agitation or rapid flow during the filling process, air is easily entrained into the oil, forming bubbles. These bubbles, under the influence of surfactants, form stable foam structures that are difficult to eliminate on their own. The presence of foam reduces the oil's insulation strength, increases the risk of partial discharge, and also affects the oil's heat dissipation performance. The filling speed is positively correlated with the amount of foam generated. High-speed filling leads to turbulent flow, generating severe shearing forces that entrain more air into the oil. Experiments show that when the filling speed exceeds a critical value, the amount of foam increases dramatically. Therefore, controlling the appropriate filling speed is crucial for reducing foam. Simultaneously, the design of the filling pipeline and the location of the filling also affect the oil flow pattern, thus influencing foam formation. In this embodiment, the first oil supply pipe 110 is used to connect to the oil tank. The valve 200 can control the oil injection on / off and control the oil injection flow rate by controlling the opening of the valve 200. The reducing joint 300 can connect the valve 200 to the small-diameter oil injection pipe 400. The special structure of the oil injection pipe 400 can reduce oil injection foaming and facilitate operation. The bending section 420 can bend the second pipe section 430 at a certain angle so that the operator can insert it into the oil injection port 810. The second pipe section 430 is extended so that the oil outlet of the second pipe section 430 can be close to the bottom of the transformer oil tank 800, which can reduce the impact between the oil outlet and the oil tank 800. Furthermore, the oil outlet of the second pipe section 430 can be submerged by the added oil, thereby achieving the effect of bottom inlet and top outlet. This can avoid the violent shearing between air and oil in the tank, reduce air entrainment, and thus reduce the generation of bubbles.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments of this utility model, when the second pipe section 430 is inserted into the oil inlet 810 of the oil tank 800, the bent section 420 enables the second pipe section 430 to be hooked onto the oil inlet 810. Specifically, when the oil gun is inserted into the oil inlet 810, since the first pipe section 410 and the second pipe section 430 form a certain angle through the bent section 420, the second pipe section 430 can hook onto the oil inlet 810 after being inserted. On the one hand, this makes it convenient for the oil injection pipe 400 to be placed into the required oil inlet 810 of the transformer, etc. On the other hand, due to a certain lateral torque for hooking, the oil injection pipe 400 will not detach from the oil inlet 810 due to oil flow and pressure.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bent section 420 and the second pipe section 430 can define a mounting part, which is used to mount the tank body 500 on a mounting frame. Specifically, a mounting frame can be provided on the oil supply tank body 500, and the bent oil injection pipe 400 can be mounted on the mounting frame for easy storage of the oil injection gun, which can both improve the oil injection effect and facilitate storage.
[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the included angle between the first pipe section 410 and the second pipe section 430 is set to 40°-90°. Specifically, the first pipe section 410 and the second pipe section 430 can be bent at 45°. The operator can tilt the oil gun upward at 45° to insert the second pipe section 430 into the oil filling port 810, which makes it easier for the operator to apply force. After insertion, it can also be hung on the oil filling port 810.
[0038] It is understandable that the angle between the first pipe section 410 and the second pipe section 430 can also be set to 90°, which also allows the operator to insert the oil injection pipe 400 into the oil injection port 810 from the side.
[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, a flow meter 600 is provided between the valve 200 and the first oil delivery pipe 110. The flow meter 600 is connected to the valve 200 and the first oil delivery pipe 110 via a quick connector. Specifically, the flow meter 600 can be a digital display flow meter 600, which can intuitively measure the actual oil injection volume, thereby enabling the modification of corresponding process parameters in the control system to form a closed loop and become more intelligent. The quick connector structure facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the flow meter 600. The specific structure of the quick connector is not described in detail here.
[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 2In some embodiments of this utility model, a vacuum sight glass component 700 is also included, which is connected to the first oil supply pipe 110 via a quick connector. Specifically, the vacuum sight glass component 700 has a sight glass tube and a sealing connection component. The oil in the pipe can be directly observed through the vacuum sight glass component 700 to facilitate observation of the oil filling status. Furthermore, the vacuum sight glass component 700 can be connected via a quick connector for easy disassembly and maintenance.
[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first oil delivery pipe 110 is a flexible hose. Specifically, the flexible hose can be a steel wire-lined flexible hose to facilitate the movement of the oil injection gun and to facilitate connection with the oil injection port 810.
[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, a second oil delivery pipe 120 and a vacuum sight glass component 700 are also included. The second oil delivery pipe 120 is a rigid pipe, and the vacuum sight glass component 700 is located between the first oil delivery pipe 110 and the second oil delivery pipe 120. The second oil delivery pipe 120 is used to connect to the oil tank. Specifically, the second oil delivery pipe 120 can be a metal pipe connected to the oil tank, and the vacuum sight glass component 700 is connected to the rigid pipe, which can fix the position of the vacuum sight glass component 700 so as to stably observe the oil condition without being disturbed by the movement of the pipe.
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the vacuum sight glass component 700 is connected to the second oil supply pipe 120 via a quick-connect flange 710, and the vacuum sight glass component 700 is connected to the first oil supply pipe 110 via a pagoda connector 720. Specifically, the quick-connect flange 710 facilitates connection to the rigid second oil supply pipe 120, while the pagoda connector 720 facilitates connection between the rigid pipe and the flexible pipe.
[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, valve 200 is configured as a manual ball valve. The manual ball valve has a simple structure, opens and closes quickly, facilitates control of oil flow, and allows manual adjustment of the opening to control the oil flow rate, thus reducing the generation of air bubbles.
