Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of digital temperature controller technology, and in particular to a digital temperature controller for a power transformer. Background Technology

[0002] As a core device in power systems for voltage transformation and power transmission, the operating temperature of power transformers directly affects equipment lifespan and system safety. Digital temperature controllers, with their advantages of high-precision temperature monitoring, intelligent control, and digital display, have become a key component for ensuring the stable operation of power transformers. By collecting real-time data on transformer oil and winding temperatures and controlling the cooling system's start / stop and triggering alarms based on preset thresholds, digital temperature controllers effectively prevent transformer failures caused by overheating.

[0003] Traditional thermostat housings often employ simple perforated heat dissipation methods. Even with enhanced protection measures such as sealing and adding protective layers, airflow is further restricted, leading to a significant decrease in heat dissipation efficiency. The internal electronic components of the thermostat continuously generate heat during prolonged operation. If this heat cannot be dissipated promptly, the internal temperature will rise continuously, causing performance degradation, shortened lifespan, and even malfunctions due to overheating. This affects the accuracy and reliability of the thermostat's monitoring and control of transformer temperature. Therefore, this invention proposes a novel solution. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a digital temperature controller for power transformers. This controller can solve the problem that the internal electronic components of the temperature controller will continuously generate heat during long-term operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, the internal temperature will continue to rise, causing the electronic components to degrade in performance, shorten their lifespan, or even malfunction due to overheating, thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of the temperature controller in monitoring and controlling the transformer temperature.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a digital temperature controller for a power transformer, comprising a temperature controller;

[0006] A protective component is disposed on the outside of the thermostat. The protective component includes a first protective shell, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the thermostat.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a digital temperature controller for a power transformer, including a temperature controller 1 and a protective component. The protective component is disposed on the outside of the temperature controller 1. The protective component includes a first protective shell 2, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the temperature controller 1. A second protective shell 4 is disposed on the outside of the temperature controller 1. Multiple rubber pillars 3 for supporting the second protective shell 4 are fixedly connected to the surface of the first protective shell 2. The multiple rubber pillars 3 are all fixedly connected to the second protective shell 4 and are located on the upper, lower, left, and right surfaces of the first protective shell 2, respectively. Three heat dissipation pipes 9 are sleeved on the surface of the first protective shell 2. A protective shell 6 is fixedly connected to the front side of the second protective shell 4. The protective shell 6 is hollow and has two cooling fans 11 installed inside. The air inlets of the three heat dissipation pipes 9 extend into the interior of the protective shell 6. Multiple vent holes 10 are opened at the lower inclined surface of the protective shell 6.

[0031] The protective assembly also includes two through holes 12, which are opened on the rear side of the second protective housing 4. The inner walls of the two through holes 12 are fitted with filter cotton 13. A sealing rubber gasket 5 for sealing the gaps between the thermostat 1, the second protective housing 4 and the protective housing 6 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the thermostat 1.

[0032] All three heat pipes 9 are spiral-shaped.

[0033] Each of the multiple rubber pillars 3 has a return spring 14 fixedly connected inside.

[0034] Two protective plates 7 are fixedly connected to the front side of the second protective shell 4.

[0035] The bottom of the second protective shell 4 is fixedly connected to four support columns 8, and each of the four support columns 8 has mounting holes.

[0036] When using this device, the temperature controller 1 continuously collects oil temperature and winding temperature data during the operation of the power transformer, and also generates heat itself during operation. The first protective shell 2 conducts the heat inside the temperature controller 1 to the spiral heat dissipation pipe 9 fitted on its surface. When the cooling fan 11 is started, external cold air enters through the vent 10 on the sloping lower end of the protective shell 6. The protective shell 6 is hollow, providing space for air circulation, and the vent 10 on the sloping lower end of the protective shell can prevent rainwater from entering. The incoming cold air is guided into the air inlet of the heat dissipation pipe 9 inside the protective shell 6. The spiral heat dissipation pipe 9 increases the contact area and contact time between the air and the pipe wall, enhancing the heat exchange efficiency. The air after heat exchange flows with heat in the heat dissipation pipe 9, and then enters the gap between the first protective shell 2 and the second protective shell 4, further cooling the temperature controller 1. It is then discharged through the filter cotton 13 in the through hole 12 on the rear side of the second protective shell 4. The filter cotton 13 can filter dust and impurities in the air, ensuring a clean internal environment for the temperature controller 1 and preventing dust accumulation from affecting heat dissipation and the performance of electronic components.

[0037] The rubber column 3 connects the first protective shell 2 and the second protective shell 4, forming a gap between them to meet the requirements of airflow and heat dissipation pipe 9 installation; the return spring 14 inside the rubber column 3 can effectively buffer the vibration generated by the power transformer during operation, reduce the impact of vibration on the precision electronic components inside the thermostat 1, and extend the service life of the thermostat; the protective plate 7 on the front side of the second protective shell 4 can protect the sides of the thermostat 1 from collisions with external objects, and can also block sunlight and reduce reflection when observing the thermostat 1, making it easier for staff to read data; the sealing rubber gasket 5 seals the gap between the thermostat 1, the second protective shell 4 and the protective shell 6, enhances the overall sealing performance, prevents rainwater, dust and other substances from entering, and ensures the stable operation of the thermostat 1.

[0038] The four support columns 8 at the bottom of the second protective housing 4 have mounting holes on their surfaces for securing the thermostat to the power transformer. The support columns 8 not only provide reliable support for the thermostat, ensuring its stability during operation, but also keep the thermostat a certain distance from the mounting surface, preventing heat transfer from the mounting surface or a humid environment from affecting the thermostat's performance.

[0039] Furthermore, the spiral heat dissipation pipe 9 increases the contact area and time between the air and the pipe wall. Combined with the cooling fan 11 and the vent 10, it quickly introduces external cold air and exchanges heat with the heat generated by the temperature controller 1. The hot air is discharged through the filter cotton 13 on the rear side of the second protective shell 4. This heat dissipation cycle effectively reduces the internal temperature of the temperature controller 1, preventing the electronic components from degrading in performance and shortening their lifespan due to overheating. It ensures the accuracy of its data acquisition and processing of transformer oil temperature and winding temperature, stably controls the start and stop of the cooling system and alarm triggering, and ensures the safe operation of the power transformer.

[0040] The sealing rubber gasket 5 seals the gaps between the components to prevent rainwater and dust from entering and reduce corrosion to electronic components; the protective plate 7 protects the sides of the thermostat 1 from impact and reduces glare during observation; the rubber column 3 works in conjunction with the return spring 14 to buffer the vibration of the power transformer during operation and reduce damage to the precision components inside the thermostat 1; these protective measures work together to reduce the impact of external factors on the thermostat, extend its service life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the reliability of the power system.

[0048] Support column 8: Located at the bottom of the second protective shell 4, with mounting holes on the surface, it is used to securely install the thermostat on the power transformer, providing reliable support and keeping the thermostat at a certain distance from the mounting surface to avoid adverse factors of the mounting surface affecting the performance of the thermostat;

[0049] Heat dissipation pipe 9: It is spirally sleeved on the surface of the first protective shell 2, and the air inlet extends into the inside of the protective shell 6, increasing the contact area and time between the air and the pipe wall, enhancing the heat exchange efficiency, and transferring the heat of the temperature controller 1 to the air to achieve heat dissipation.

[0050] Vent 10: Located on the lower slope of the protective shell 6, it allows cold air to enter while blocking rainwater, serving as an entrance for cold air to enter the heat dissipation circulation.

[0051] Cooling fan 11: Installed inside the protective shell 6, when started, it draws external cold air into the protective shell 6 through the vent 10 and guides it into the heat pipe 9, accelerating airflow and enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
