Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of excitation transformer technology, and in particular to an excitation transformer with a waterproof structure. Background Technology

[0002] An excitation transformer is a transformer specifically designed to provide excitation power to electrical equipment, primarily used in the excitation systems of synchronous generators and other similar devices. It converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) to supply the excitation windings of the generator or transformer, maintaining its magnetic field and thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. Excitation transformers are widely used in power plants, substations, and other similar applications, and are particularly crucial for the stability of power systems. They can adjust the output voltage according to load changes, ensuring the reliability and stability of equipment under different operating conditions.

[0003] The working principle of an excitation transformer is to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) to provide the required current for the excitation system of a synchronous generator or other equipment. Its basic structure includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. AC power is connected to the primary winding, and through magnetic field induction, current is generated in the secondary winding. The secondary winding outputs rectified DC power, which is used to excite the generator's excitation winding, generating a stable magnetic field to maintain the generator's normal operation. The working principle of the excitation transformer allows it to automatically adjust the output current according to the system load, ensuring the stability of power equipment and the normal operation of the power grid.

[0004] In existing technologies, some excitation transformers lack effective waterproofing designs, making them susceptible to the effects of harsh weather when operating in the field, especially as rainwater can easily seep into the device. Rainwater intrusion not only causes corrosion inside the transformer and reduces insulation performance, but can also lead to short circuits or equipment failures, affecting the stable operation of the transformer. Therefore, an excitation transformer with a waterproof structure is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1.

A waterproof top plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the four support shafts 7, and a water guide plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the waterproof top plate 8. The waterproof top plate 8 serves to shield and guide water flow. The water guide plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the waterproof top plate 8. The top of the water guide plate 9 is sloped to allow water to drain smoothly without accumulating on the equipment. A waterproof groove is provided inside the waterproof top plate 8, and multiple through holes are provided on the left and right sides of the waterproof top plate 8 to facilitate water drainage and prevent rainwater accumulation on the top, thereby improving the waterproof effect. The top of the water guide plate 9 is sloped, and the through holes are located at the bottom of the water guide plate 9.

[0027] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The heat dissipation mechanism includes multiple heat dissipation plates 5. As the main heat dissipation component, the heat dissipation plates 5 transfer heat to the surrounding environment through contact with the outside of the device body 11. The outside of the multiple heat dissipation plates 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting block 2. At the junction of the multiple heat dissipation plates 5 and the outside of the device body 11, heat dissipation copper pipes 6 are fixedly connected inside the multiple heat dissipation plates 5. The high thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation copper pipes 6 can help heat to be quickly conducted from the device body 11 to the heat dissipation plates 5, and then released into the air through the heat dissipation plates 5. A cavity is provided between the outside of the device body 11 and the inner wall of the mounting block 2. The cavity provides sufficient space for the heat dissipation copper pipes 6, so that the heat dissipation copper pipes 6 can effectively coil and achieve a larger heat exchange area. The heat dissipation copper pipes 6 are located inside the cavity and coiled outside the device body 11. The heat dissipation copper pipes 6 mostly pass through the inside of the heat dissipation plates 5.

[0028] A cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting block 2. The cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting block 2 and is mainly used to enclose other components inside the device and provide additional protection. Six cable outlets 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 3. The cable outlets 4 are used to connect to external circuits and transmit the electrical energy of the device to other systems or devices. Five wire interfaces 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 3.

An auxiliary mounting block 2 is provided on the top of the mounting block 2. The top of the auxiliary mounting block 2 is in contact with the bottom of the cover plate 3.

[0029] Working principle: The high-pressure and low-pressure interfaces are connected to the wire interface 10 fixed on the top of the cover plate 3 to complete the installation. When the device is running in the field, the waterproof top plate 8 fixed to the top of the device by four support shafts 7 provides waterproof function, thereby preventing external rainwater from falling on the outside of the device and allowing rainwater to enter the inside of the device through the gaps, thereby reducing the safety of the device. The water outlets on the left and right sides of the waterproof top plate 8 guide the rainwater out, thereby preventing rainwater from accumulating and affecting the waterproof effect. The water guide plate 9 fixed on the outside of the waterproof top plate 8 guides the rainwater with a unique sloping design, further improving the waterproof effect.

[0030] During operation, the heat generated by the device body 11 during operation is absorbed by multiple heat dissipation plates 5 that are in contact with the device body 11. During this process, the heat dissipation copper pipes 6 fixed inside the multiple heat dissipation plates 5 act as heat transfer components, so that the multiple heat dissipation plates 5 can evenly dissipate heat from the device, thereby preventing the device from overloaded due to excessive temperature and thus causing safety problems.

[0031] 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.
