[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fully automatic constant temperature insulating oil dielectric strength tester, comprising:

[0027] The main body 1 of the tester serves as the core carrier of the entire device, integrating key functional modules such as control, power supply, and data processing. Its end utilizes a precision mechanical structure to achieve the lifting and lowering of the insulating oil cup shell 2. This structural design ensures the stability and accuracy of the insulating oil cup shell 2 during lifting, thereby guaranteeing that the insulating oil remains at a constant temperature during testing. The end of the insulating oil cup shell 2 is sealed with an oil cover plate 3, which stirs and heats the insulating oil evenly when it reaches a constant temperature. A high-precision sealing technology is used between the oil cover plate 3 and the insulating oil cup shell 2 to effectively prevent heat loss and the entry of external impurities. During heating, the stirring and heating function of the oil cover plate 3 ensures more uniform heating of the insulating oil. Symmetrically arranged electrode docking seats 7 are located on the bottom of the outer surface of the insulating oil cup shell 2, allowing for the lifting and insertion of electrodes on the main body 1. The symmetrical distribution of the electrode docking seats 7, combined with a high-precision guiding structure, ensures the accuracy and stability of the insertion of electrodes with the main body 1.

[0028] The testing oil cup 4 is made of high-strength, high-temperature resistant, and excellent insulating material. It is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the insulating oil cup shell 2, providing a stable testing space for the insulating oil. Heating copper plates 5 with heating wires are located on both sides of the outer surface of the testing oil cup 4. These plates are tightly bonded to the testing oil cup 4 using a highly efficient thermally conductive material. The heating wires are evenly distributed within the copper plates using a special winding process, ensuring uniform heat transfer to the testing oil cup 4. Test electrode rods 6 are located on both sides of the inner surface of the testing oil cup 4, extending to the bottom of the insulating oil cup shell 2 and connecting to the electrode docking seat 7. The material of the test electrode rods 6 undergoes special treatment, exhibiting good conductivity and corrosion resistance. Their through-hole design, combined with a sealing structure, ensures both the reliability of the circuit connection and prevents insulating oil leakage.

[0029] The main body 1 of the tester is provided with protective plates 8 on both sides. The protective plates 8 not only protect the internal structure of the main body 1 of the tester, but also provide installation support for the lifting cylinders 10. The center of the end of the protective plate 8 is provided with a mounting groove 9, and each mounting groove 9 is provided with a lifting cylinder 10 that connects to the bottom ends of the insulated oil cup shell 2. The lifting cylinder 10 adopts a high-precision air pressure control system. By accurately controlling the air pressure magnitude and direction, it realizes the smooth and rapid lifting action of the insulated oil cup shell 2, which facilitates the precise insertion of the electrode docking seat 7 and the electrode docking plug 11.

[0030] Both sides of the main body 1 of the tester are provided with electrode docking blocks 11 that are perpendicular to the electrode docking seat 7. The vertical correspondence between the electrode docking blocks 11 and the electrode docking seat 7, combined with a high-precision positioning sensor, ensures that after the electrode docking seat 7 is lowered, the two can be quickly and accurately inserted, so that the test electrode rod 6 can be connected to the external circuit, thereby testing the dielectric strength of the insulating oil.

[0031] A motor 12 is located at the center of the upper end of the oil cover plate 3. The motor 12 is a high-torque, low-noise servo motor to ensure stable and efficient operation of the stirring shaft 13. The end of the motor 12 shaft extends to the lower end of the oil cover plate 3 and is connected to the stirring shaft 13, which has a structure for uniformly heating and stirring the insulating oil. The stirring structure on the stirring shaft 13 uses a special blade shape and arrangement, which, driven by the motor 12, can generate a highly efficient stirring flow field, so that the insulating oil is fully mixed during the heating process and the temperature is uniformly distributed. A heater 14 is located on one side of the motor 12, which is connected to the heating copper plate 5 to heat the insulating oil in the detection oil cup 4 to a suitable detection temperature. The heater 14 has an intelligent temperature regulation function and can accurately control the heating power based on the data fed back by the constant temperature sensor 18. It works in conjunction with the heating copper plate 5 to achieve precise heating of the insulating oil.

[0032] One side of the testing oil cup 4 is connected to an oil extraction pipe 15 that extends to the outside of the insulating oil cup shell 2. The outside of the insulating oil cup shell 2 is provided with an oil inlet pipe 16 that extends to the upper end of the testing oil cup 4. Both the oil extraction pipe 15 and the oil inlet pipe 16 are equipped with valve bodies. Both the oil extraction pipe 15 and the oil inlet pipe 16 are made of oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. The valve body is a high-precision solenoid valve, and its opening and closing are controlled by a PLC controller to achieve automatic extraction and injection of insulating oil, facilitating sample replacement before and after testing.

[0033] The main body 1 of the testing instrument has a built-in PLC controller. As the main controller of the entire device, the PLC controller adopts a high-performance central processing unit and rich input / output interfaces, and is connected to the motor group, sensors, air pump, cylinders, and heating components in the testing instrument. Through the preset control program, the PLC controller can accurately coordinate the working sequence and operating parameters of each component to achieve fully automated control of the testing process.

[0034] The inner side of the insulated oil cup shell 2 is provided with an insulation board layer 17. The insulation board layer 17 is made of multi-layer composite insulation material, which has excellent thermal insulation performance, effectively reducing heat loss and maintaining stable internal temperature. Furthermore, a constant temperature sensor 18 for monitoring the temperature of the insulating oil is provided on one side of the bottom of the oil cover plate 3. The constant temperature sensor 18 is a high-precision, fast-response temperature sensor that can monitor the temperature of the insulating oil in real time and accurately, and feed the data back to the PLC controller, providing a basis for temperature control.

[0035] The upper part of one side of the inner side of the insulated oil cup shell 2 is equipped with a vacuum pump 19 for evacuating the insulating oil during testing after the insulated oil cup shell 2 is sealed by the oil cover plate 3. The vacuum pump 19 adopts efficient vacuum pumping technology and has strong pumping capacity and stable working performance. The pipe at the outlet end of the vacuum pump 19 extends to the outside of the insulated oil cup shell 2 and is equipped with a sealing valve. The sealing valve ensures that the pipe is sealed when the vacuum pump 19 is working to prevent outside air from entering. After the test is completed, it can be opened to release gas, ensuring that the vacuum level of the test environment meets the requirements.

[0036] Specifically, during use, after the tester is started, the PLC controller, as the core control unit, coordinates the operation of each component according to the preset program. The valve on the oil inlet pipe opens, and insulating oil is injected into the test oil cup 4. Then, the oil cover plate 3 seals and closes the heat-insulating oil cup shell 2. The lifting cylinder 10 on the protective plate 8 drives the heat-insulating oil cup shell 2 to descend, so that the electrode docking seat 7 and the electrode docking plug 11 at the end of the tester body 1 can be precisely aligned, completing the circuit connection of the test electrode rod 6. At this time, the motor 12 drives the stirring shaft 13 to rotate, and the heater 14 and the heating copper plate 5 cooperate to heat the insulating oil. The constant temperature sensor 18 monitors the oil temperature in real time and feeds it back to the PLC controller to realize closed-loop temperature control. After the insulating oil reaches the set temperature and the temperature is uniform, the vacuum pump 19 starts to evacuate the vacuum, eliminating the interference of air bubbles in the test environment. Finally, voltage is applied to the test electrode rod 6 to test the dielectric strength of the insulating oil. The test data is collected, analyzed and stored by the PLC controller.

[0037] Initial heating: After the heater 14 is powered on, it heats the insulating oil in the oil cup 4 through the heating wire on the heating plate 5. At the same time, the motor 12 drives the stirring shaft 13 to rotate, stirring the insulating oil to promote uniform heat transfer, avoid local overheating or overcooling, and accelerate the heating rate.

[0038] Temperature monitoring and control: The constant temperature sensor 18 at the bottom of the oil cover plate 3 continuously monitors the temperature of the insulating oil and transmits the data to the PLC controller in real time. When the detected temperature is lower than the set value, the PLC controller controls the heater 14 to increase its power; if the temperature is higher than the set value, the heater power is reduced or heating is stopped. Through this dynamic control method, the temperature of the insulating oil is maintained within the set constant temperature range.

[0039] Insulation Maintenance: The insulation board layer 17 inside the outer shell 2 of the insulation oil cup effectively reduces heat loss. Combined with the precise control of the heating system by the PLC controller, the insulation oil is kept at a constant temperature throughout the entire testing process, ensuring that the dielectric strength test is carried out under stable temperature conditions, and guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
