Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of oil level gauge technology, specifically a square tube type oil level gauge for oil-immersed transformers. Background Technology
[0002] The square tube oil level gauge for oil-immersed transformers is an important device commonly used for monitoring transformer oil levels. Its square tube design provides strong structural stability and durability, enabling it to maintain good performance in complex environments such as high voltage and high temperature, ensuring accurate oil level measurement. Secondly, the oil-immersed design effectively reduces interference from external air, guaranteeing measurement accuracy and reliability. Its clear oil level indication allows operators to visually observe oil level changes and promptly detect abnormalities such as excessively low or high oil levels, ensuring the normal operation of the transformer. Furthermore, this oil level gauge typically employs an anti-corrosion coating to prevent corrosion of the gauge surface due to oil, air, or moisture, extending the equipment's service life. The square tube oil level gauge for oil-immersed transformers also boasts strong adaptability, being compatible with transformers of different specifications and types, and is widely used in various industries such as power, metallurgy, and chemical engineering, meeting the needs of different environments and operating conditions. Through its precise oil level monitoring, it effectively prevents abnormal oil level in transformers, thereby ensuring safe equipment operation, reducing the failure rate, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the power system.
[0003] For example, CN208383244U discloses a tubular oil level gauge for oil-immersed transformers, belonging to the field of transformer manufacturing technology. The tubular oil level gauge includes a tube body, a pressure relief valve, and a float indicator device built into the tube body. The pressure relief valve is threadedly fixed to the upper end of the tube body. A viewing window for observing the status of the float indicator device is provided on the tube body. The float indicator device includes a float, a connecting rod, and a float. The upper end of the connecting rod passes through the bottom of the tube body and connects to the float placed inside the tube body. The lower end of the connecting rod connects to the float, which is a hollow sphere containing a weight. This invention utilizes a principle similar to a roly-poly toy, where a lower center of gravity results in greater stability, ensuring that the float indicator device is always in a vertical position. It has a simple structure and provides more accurate and stable oil level display.
