Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an analytical device for extracting dissolved gases from transformer oil, comprising:

[0026] The degassing device body 1, the gas chromatograph body 2, the oil storage tank 3 and the filter mechanism 4 are all connected to the degassing device body 1 through control valve pipes. The top of the oil storage tank 3 is equipped with a filter mechanism 4 for intercepting impurities in the transformer oil.

[0027] The filtration mechanism 4 includes an oil pipe 41, a multi-stage filter screen 42, and a funnel pipe 43. The top of the oil tank 3 is connected to the oil pipe 41 through the funnel pipe 43, and the multi-stage filter screen 42 is located inside the oil pipe 41.

[0028] Specifically, the degassing device body 1, the gas chromatograph body 2, and the oil storage tank 3 are connected by a control valve pipe to form a closed oil circuit system, which can prevent external air from mixing in. The filter mechanism 4 is set on the top of the oil storage tank 3 to intercept impurities before the oil enters the oil storage tank 3, thereby preventing particulate matter, fibers and other pollutants from entering the degassing device or chromatograph and reducing the risk of equipment blockage. Among them, the multi-stage filter screen 42 is located inside the oil pipe 41 and adopts a gradient filtration design to intercept impurities of different sizes step by step, thereby extending the service life of the filter screen. Moreover, the filter mechanism 4 is independent of the oil storage tank 3, so there is no need to empty the oil tank during maintenance, which improves the convenience of operation.

[0029] The multi-stage filter element 42 includes an upper filter 421, a middle filter 422 and a lower filter 423 arranged coaxially. The middle filter 422 is fixed to the middle of the inner wall of the oil pipe 41. The upper filter 421, the middle filter 422 and the lower filter 423 are distributed from top to bottom, and the filter pore size of the three filters is arranged in a gradient decreasing manner.

[0030] It is worth noting that fixing the middle filter screen 422 to the middle of the inner wall of the oil pipe 41 ensures its stability and prevents it from loosening. Align the locking blocks 51 on both sides of the upper filter screen 421 with the two guide grooves 52 on the inner wall of the oil pipe 41, and slide them downwards along the grooves. When the bottom is reached, rotate the upper filter screen 421 to allow the locking blocks 51 to enter the arc-shaped groove 53, thus completing the quick-release installation. If disassembly is required, rotate in the opposite direction and lift it up to remove it. Screw the mounting cover 6 into the bottom thread of the oil pipe 41, and place the lower filter screen 423 into the mounting cover 6. Transformer oil is poured in through the top of the oil pipe 41, while the upper filter screen... 421 performs coarse filtration: intercepting large particulate impurities, thereby reducing the burden on subsequent filters. 422 performs medium-efficiency filtration, filtering medium-sized particles. 423 performs fine filtration, removing tiny particles. This ensures the purity of the oil entering the chromatograph. The gradient pore size design (upper filter 421 100μm, middle filter 422 50μm, lower filter 423 20μm) optimizes filtration efficiency. It can be disassembled and cleaned without tools, making it suitable for frequent maintenance scenarios. It avoids rapid clogging of single-layer filters, effectively protecting the degassing unit and chromatograph, and reducing malfunctions caused by particulate contamination.

[0031] It also includes a mounting component 5, which is used for quick release of the upper filter screen 421. The mounting component 5 includes a locking block 51, a guide groove 52 and an arc groove 53. The upper filter screen 421 has locking blocks 51 integrally machined on both sides. The inner wall of the oil pipe 41 has guide grooves 52 that are adapted to the locking blocks 51 on both sides. The bottom of the two guide grooves 52 are connected to the arc groove 53. The top of the upper filter screen 421 is provided with a lever part.

[0032] It should be noted that when installing the upper filter screen 421, align the locking blocks 51 on both sides of the upper filter screen 421 with the guide groove 52 on the inner wall of the oil pipe 41, slide it vertically downward along the guide groove 52 until the locking blocks 51 reach the bottom of the groove, rotate the upper filter screen 421 to make the locking blocks 51 slide into the arc groove 53 to complete the fixation. When removing the upper filter screen 421, rotate the upper filter screen 421 in the opposite direction through the lever part to make the locking blocks 51 return from the arc groove 53 to the guide groove 52, lift the filter screen vertically upward, and it can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement. No tools are required, and the filter screen can be replaced by hand.

[0033] The bottom of the lower filter screen 423 is provided with a mounting cover 6 that is threaded onto the inner wall of the oil pipe 41, and the inside of the mounting cover 6 is provided with a crossbar 7 that facilitates the rotation of the mounting cover 6;

[0034] The mounting cover 6 at the bottom of the lower filter screen 423 is threaded onto the inner wall of the oil pipe 41, which facilitates the installation and removal of the lower filter screen 423. A crossbar 7 is located inside the mounting cover 6, which facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the mounting cover 6.

[0035] The surface of the oil pipe 41 is provided with an mounting ring 8 with an annular groove. The top of the funnel pipe 43 is fixedly installed with an abutment ring 9 that cooperates with the annular groove. The abutment ring 9 is a rubber layer ring. The top of the oil pipe 41 is threaded with a sealing cap 10.

[0036] It should be noted that by aligning the rubber layer contact ring 9 at the top of the funnel tube 43 with the annular groove on the surface of the oil pipe 41 and applying slight pressure, the rubber layer contact ring 9 is fully embedded in the annular groove, thus forming a preliminary seal. By tightening the sealing cap 10 at the threaded top of the oil pipe 41, external contaminants can be prevented from entering. It can be tightened manually and also serves as a seal. In this process, the rubber layer contact ring 9 works in conjunction with the annular groove, and the flexible rubber layer is deformed under pressure to fill the microscopic gaps. The sealing cap 10 seals the top of the oil pipe 41, preventing oil evaporation or dust intrusion. The sealing level can reach IP54.

[0037] It also includes a limiting component 11, which includes a frame 111, a push block 112, a contact frame 113 and a fixing ring 114. The fixing ring 114 is fixedly installed on the surface of the oil pipe 41. The frame 111 is located on one side of the gas chromatograph body 2. The contact frame 113 for installing the fixing ring 114 is slidably installed inside the frame 111. The semi-circular part inside the contact frame 113 is adapted to the surface of the oil pipe 41. The contact frame 113 is provided with a groove for abutting the fixing ring 114.

[0038] It is worth noting that by passing the oil pipe 41 through the semi-circular groove of the contact frame 113, the fixing ring 114 on the surface of the oil pipe 41 is aligned with the groove inside the contact frame 113. By rotating the handwheel 14 on the top of the frame 111, the internal drive rod 12 is driven to rotate. The drive rod 12 pushes the push block 112 horizontally through the thread, forcing the contact frame 113 to slide towards the oil pipe 41, applying downward pressure to the oil pipe 41. The oil pipe 41 can be stably fixed in a short time, and the removal of the oil pipe 41 is convenient.

[0039] A drive rod 12 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 111. The upper end of the drive rod 12 passes through the top of the frame 111 and is provided with a handwheel 14. The surface of the drive rod 12 is threaded onto the push block 112.

[0040] The rotating handwheel 14 drives the drive rod 12 to rotate, and the external thread on the surface of the drive rod 12 engages with the internal thread of the push block 112, converting the rotational motion into the linear motion of the push block 112. The push block 112 moves forward and pushes the contact frame 113 to slide towards the oil pipe 41, thus completing the clamping of the fixed ring 114. The threaded transmission converts the handwheel torque into axial thrust (the force amplification ratio can reach 5:1), and only 2Nm of torque is needed to generate a clamping force of 500N.

[0041] A protective plate 13 for protecting the drive rod 12 is slidably mounted on the surface of the push block 112, and the protective plate 13 is located inside the frame 111;

[0042] When the push block 112 moves, the guard plate 13 fixed on the surface of the push block 112 slides synchronously, always covering the exposed part of the drive rod 12. The guard plate 13 is made of stainless steel sheet, which shields the drive rod 12 in real time as the push block 112 moves, preventing oil or dust from accumulating on the threads, completely isolating the rotating drive rod 12, and preventing the operator's clothes or tools from getting caught in.

[0043] It should be noted that the components involved in this application, such as the degassing device body 1 and the gas chromatograph body 2, are all implemented using existing technologies. Their specific structures and working principles are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail. The innovation of this application lies in the filtration system. This application mainly focuses on innovative improvements to the filtration system of existing degassing analysis devices. The degassing device body 1 can adopt a conventional thermal degassing or ultrasonic degassing structure, and the gas chromatograph body 2 is a commercially available standard device.

[0044] This device: The transformer oil to be tested first enters the multi-stage filtration mechanism 4 through the funnel tube 43. The oil passes through the three-stage gradient filtration of the upper filter screen 421, the middle filter screen 422 and the lower filter screen 423 in sequence, effectively intercepting impurities such as metal particles and fibers. The filtered oil sample enters the oil storage tank 3 for temporary storage to avoid direct contamination of precision instruments. The quick-release filter screen design improves maintenance efficiency and ensures long-term stable operation of the system.

[0045] The pure oil sample in the oil storage tank 3 is introduced into the degassing device body 1 through the control valve pipe. Under a constant temperature environment of 50-80℃, the device maintains a high vacuum of 0.1kPa, which allows dissolved gases to be efficiently extracted from the oil. The gas phase components are transported to the analysis unit through a dedicated pipeline. The remaining oil can be recycled or reinjected into the transformer. The extracted mixed gas enters the gas chromatograph body 2. Driven by the carrier gas, the gas components are separated in the chromatographic column due to differences in adsorption characteristics. Subsequently, qualitative and quantitative analysis is performed by TCD and FID, which can accurately identify the characteristic gases of early transformer faults.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
