Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tap changer technology, and more specifically, to a transformer tap changer. Background Technology

[0002] A transformer tap changer is a device that connects and switches the taps of a transformer winding. By changing the turns ratio of the high-voltage winding, it regulates the output voltage of the transformer.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to solve the problem that the positioning accuracy of the moving contact is often affected by the cumulative transmission error, resulting in a delayed arrival at the desired position, and that the moving contact is prone to shifting beyond its normal position to the ideal contact position when the switch is manually operated due to the existence of operating inertia in the various transmission components, for example, the prior art patent with publication number CN205911169U provides a shifting and repositioning device for a transformer tap changer. This device improves the operating feel when the moving contact of the tap changer rotates to the desired position by elastically engaging and disengaging the positioning groove and the elastic positioning element, and avoids the shifting of the moving contact when the switch is manually operated, thereby further improving the shifting performance and reliability of the tap changer.

[0004] Although the existing technical solutions mentioned above can improve the operating feel when the switch moving contact rotates to the correct position by setting up an elastic positioning element and cooperating with the positioning groove, in actual use, the operator needs to control the force of rotating the shaft. If too much force is applied, the roller will also move out of the positioning groove, causing the tap changer to run out of gear.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a transformer tap changer. Utility Model Content

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 This application discloses a transformer tap changer, including a rotating shaft 1 for connecting a moving contact. The rotating shaft 1 is rotatably disposed inside a connecting flange B15, which is fixedly disposed on the top of the transformer. A drive assembly 2 is disposed on the top of the rotating shaft 1, and an outer sleeve 3 is fixedly disposed on the top of the connecting flange B15. A plurality of position indicator plates 4 are disposed on the top of the outer sleeve 3. The drive assembly 2 includes a locking block 21, which is slidably disposed inside the outer sleeve 3. A plurality of limiting components 31 are arranged in a circular array on the inner side of the outer sleeve 3, and the limiting components 31 are arranged one-to-one with the position indicator plates 4. A sliding groove 33 is opened on the inner side of the outer sleeve 3 corresponding to the array of position indicator plates 4. A support groove B34 is provided on the inner side of the outer sleeve 3 at the top of the sliding groove 33. The locking block 21 slides along the inner side of the sliding groove 33 and the top of the support groove B34. The limiting components 31 are used to limit the sliding position of the locking block 21.

[0033] A moving contact is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 1 by connecting bolt A11. The moving contact structure cooperates with several stationary contacts on the outside to realize voltage regulation. The process of the moving contact and stationary contact cooperating to realize voltage regulation is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] When adjusting the gear, push the corresponding limit component 31 according to the gear position indicator 4, so that the limit component 31 slides to the inside of the outer sleeve 3. Then pull the drive component 2 upward, so that the locking block 21 slides inside the corresponding slide groove 33, so that the locking block 21 slides to the inside of the support groove B34. Then rotate the locking block 21, so that the locking block 21 rotates to the inside of the corresponding limit component 31, so that the limit component 31 restricts the sliding position of the locking block 21. At this time, press the drive component 2 downward, so that the locking block 21 slides back to its original position inside the corresponding slide groove 33. At this time, the moving contact at the bottom of the rotating shaft 1 contacts the corresponding stationary contact, thus completing the gear adjustment.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 7 The locking block 21 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting sleeve 22. Two flower blocks 23 are fixedly installed on the inside of the connecting sleeve 22. The top of the outer side of the rotating shaft 1 is provided with two flower openings 12 that cooperate with the two flower blocks 23. The top of the rotating shaft 1 is detachably provided with a limiting plate 14. The top of the connecting sleeve 22 is provided with a rotating handle 24. The bottom of the rotating handle 24 is detachably connected to the top of the connecting sleeve 22 through a connecting flange C241. The inner side of the outer sleeve 3 is provided with a support groove A32 at the bottom of the slide groove 33. The inner side of the support groove B34 is provided with several limiting grooves 35. Several limiting components 31 are slidably installed inside the corresponding limiting grooves 35. A baffle 351 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the limiting groove 35. The limiting component 31 includes two rotating plates 311, which are located on both sides of the top of the slide groove 33, respectively, to limit the sliding position of the locking block 21. Both rotating plates 311 are rotatably installed on the inner side of the corresponding connecting frame 312. Pull rings 313 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the connecting frame 312. The connecting frame 312 is slidably installed on the inner side of the limiting groove 35 through the corresponding two pull holes 352. Two rotating grooves 3121 are opened on the inner side of the connecting frame 312. The inner side of the rotating plate 311 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the corresponding rotating groove 3121 through the corresponding torsion spring 3111 and rotating rod 3112.

[0036] When adjusting the gear, push the corresponding pull ring 313 according to the gear position indicator 4, so that the pull ring 313 drives the connecting bracket 312 to slide inside the outer sleeve 3. After being blocked by the baffle 351, stop pushing. Then pull the rotating handle 24 upward, so that the rotating handle 24 drives the connecting sleeve 22 to slide upward, thereby driving the locking block 21 to slide inside the corresponding slide groove 33. With the cooperation of the flower block 23 and the flower opening 12, the locking block 21 slides to the inside of the support groove B34 and can no longer move upward. Then rotate the rotating handle 24, so that the rotating handle 24 drives the connecting sleeve 22 and the locking block 21 to rotate, so that the locking block 21 rotates to one side of the corresponding rotating plate 311. Under the torque of the torsion spring 3111, it can rotate. Continue to rotate the handle 24 to make the corresponding rotating plate 311 rotate, so that the locking block 21 rotates to the inner side of the two corresponding rotating plates 311. The locking block 21 will touch the other rotating plate 311 as it continues to rotate. The rotating plate 311 cannot rotate due to the obstruction of the connecting frame 312 and the inner side of the limiting groove 35, thus limiting the locking block 21 and preventing it from rotating further. At this time, press the handle 24 down to make the locking block 21 slide inside the corresponding sliding groove 33. The locking block 21 moves to the top of the support groove A32. At this time, the moving contact at the bottom of the rotating shaft 1 just contacts the corresponding stationary contact, completing the gear adjustment.

[0037] When connecting the rotating shaft 1 and the drive assembly 2, firstly, the connecting sleeve 22 is fitted onto the outer side of the top of the rotating shaft 1 by engaging the flower block 23 through the flower opening 12. Then, the limiting plate 14 is fixed on the top of the rotating shaft 1 to limit the flower block 23. Finally, the rotating handle 24 is installed on the top of the connecting sleeve 22 through the connecting flange C241, thus completing the installation of the rotating shaft 1 and the drive assembly 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A switch housing 13 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 1. A connecting flange A131 is fixedly installed on the top of the switch housing 13. The bottom of the outer sleeve 3 is detachably connected to the top of the connecting flange B15 via a connecting flange D36. A top plate 37 is detachably installed on the top of the outer sleeve 3. Several gear position indicator plates 4 are installed on the top of the top plate 37. A fixing sleeve 16 is detachably installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 1 at the bottom of the connecting flange B15.

[0039] The device is fixed to the top of the transformer by connecting flanges A131 and B15. Connecting flange D36 and top plate 37 facilitate the installation and removal of outer sleeve 3. Fixing sleeve 16 is used to limit the rotation shaft 1 to prevent the rotation shaft 1 from moving upward when the rotation handle 24 is pulled up.

[0040] In summary, when using the transformer tap changer disclosed in this application, the corresponding pull ring 313 is pushed according to the tap position indicator 4, causing the pull ring 313 to drive the connecting bracket 312 to slide inwards towards the outer sleeve 3. The push stops after being blocked by the baffle 351. Then, the rotating handle 24 is pulled upwards, causing the rotating handle 24 to drive the connecting sleeve 22 to slide upwards, thereby causing the locking block 21 to slide inwards towards the corresponding groove 33. With the cooperation of the flower block 23 and the flower opening 12, the locking block 21 slides to the inside of the support groove B34 and cannot move upwards further. Then, the rotating handle 24 is rotated, causing the rotating handle 24 to drive the connecting sleeve 22 and the locking block 21 to rotate, causing the locking block 21 to rotate to the corresponding position on the rotating plate 311. On the side, since the rotating plate 311 can rotate under the torque of the torsion spring 3111, continue to rotate the rotating handle 24 to make the corresponding rotating plate 311 rotate, so that the locking block 21 rotates to the inner side of the corresponding two rotating plates 311. The locking block 21 will touch the other rotating plate 311 as it continues to rotate. The rotating plate 311 cannot rotate due to the obstruction of the connecting frame 312 and the inner side of the limiting groove 35, thus limiting the locking block 21 and preventing it from rotating further. At this time, press the rotating handle 24 down to make the locking block 21 slide inside the corresponding sliding groove 33. The locking block 21 moves to the top of the support groove A32. At this time, the moving contact at the bottom of the rotating shaft 1 just contacts the corresponding stationary contact, completing the gear adjustment.
