Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment inspection and testing technology, and in particular to a gas relay calibration device. Background Technology

[0002] The gas relay is a core protection device for oil-immersed transformers, installed on the connecting pipe between the transformer tank and the oil conservator. Its main function is to monitor gas or oil flow surges caused by internal transformer faults and provide protection through trigger signals or direct tripping.

[0003] Gas relays, with their sensitive gas and oil flow detection mechanisms, serve as the first line of defense against internal transformer faults. After production, gas relays require calibration to dynamically align their actual performance with design parameters. Through systematic operations such as mechanical adjustments, environmental simulations, and data calibration, the risk of transformer failures due to protection device malfunctions can be minimized. Gas relay calibration mainly includes light gas activation, heavy gas activation, and sealing withstand voltage tests. Currently, these tests are performed separately on different equipment, resulting in low testing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a gas relay calibration device that facilitates rapid calibration of gas relays and improves calibration efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0011] An oil return assembly, wherein the oil return cylinder is connected to the inlet end of the oil return assembly;

[0012] A control component is mounted on the calibration box and electrically connected to the oil supply component, the gas supply component, the oil return component, and the gas relay.

[0013] The advantages of adopting the above scheme are as follows: the oil inlet pipe and oil return pipe of the gas relay are connected to the oil inlet cylinder and oil return cylinder respectively through the workbench, and the oil inlet cylinder is connected to the oil supply component and the gas supply component at the same time, and the oil return cylinder is connected to the oil return component. With the centralized electrical connection control of the control component, it is possible to integrate the operation of different calibration items such as light gas action, heavy gas action and sealing pressure resistance test of the gas relay on one device. This avoids the problem of low detection efficiency caused by separate testing on different devices in the existing technology, greatly improves the efficiency of calibration work, and saves time and labor costs.

[0014] The oil supply assembly, gas supply assembly, and oil return assembly are all installed on the calibration box and are uniformly controlled by the control assembly. They can precisely control the oil supply, gas injection, and oil return process according to the calibration requirements, ensuring the accuracy and stability of various simulated working conditions during the calibration process. This allows the various performance parameters of the gas relay to be accurately tested and verified, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the calibration results and effectively reducing the risk of protection failure of the gas relay in actual use due to calibration errors.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

A third control valve is also installed between the oil return pump and the oil return cylinder, and the oil return pump is electrically connected to the control assembly.

[0025] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are: the oil return assembly uses an oil return pump to transport the oil in the oil return cylinder back to the oil storage tank, and a third control valve is installed between the oil return pump and the oil return cylinder, which can stably control the oil return speed and oil return volume. The third control valve facilitates the adjustment and control of the oil return process, preventing the oil return from being too fast or too slow from having an adverse effect on the calibration.

[0026] Furthermore, the return oil cylinder is also connected to an oil drain pipe, the other end of which is connected to the return oil cylinder. A fourth control valve is installed on the oil drain pipe, and the height of the fourth control valve is lower than the height of the gas relay and higher than the height of the return oil cylinder.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a gas relay calibration device includes...

[0042] Workbench 1 is used to place gas relay 2. Gas relay 2 is connected to oil inlet pipe 3 and oil return pipe 4 at both ends. Oil inlet pipe 3 and oil return pipe 4 are connected to oil inlet cylinder 5 and oil return cylinder 6 respectively. Oil inlet cylinder 5 and oil return cylinder 6 are both made of transparent material.

[0043] Oil supply assembly 7 is installed on calibration box 8, and the output end of oil supply assembly 7 is connected to oil inlet cylinder 5.

[0044] Air supply component 9 is installed on calibration box 8, and the output end of air supply component 9 is connected to oil inlet cylinder 5;

[0045] Oil return assembly 10, with an oil return cylinder 6 connected to its inlet end;

[0046] Control component 11 is installed on calibration box 8 and electrically connected to oil supply component 7, gas supply component 9, oil return component 10 and gas relay 2.

[0047] In this invention, the oil inlet pipe 3 and oil return pipe 4 of the gas relay 2 are connected to the oil inlet cylinder 5 and oil return cylinder 6 respectively via the workbench 1. The oil inlet cylinder 5 is also connected to the oil supply component 7 and the gas supply component 9, and the oil return cylinder 6 is connected to the oil return component 10. With the centralized electrical connection control of the control component 11, the gas relay 2 can be integrated into a single device to perform different verification items such as light gas action, heavy gas action, and sealing pressure resistance test. This avoids the problem of low detection efficiency caused by separate testing on different devices in the prior art, greatly improves the efficiency of the verification work, and saves time and labor costs.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a liquid flow meter 12 and a pressure gauge 28 are installed on the oil inlet pipe 3. Both the liquid flow meter 12 and the pressure gauge 28 are electrically connected to the control component 11, which facilitates real-time and accurate monitoring of flow and pressure data during the oil inlet process. Based on this data, the control component 11 can adjust the oil supply in a timely manner to ensure that the oil supply meets the standard requirements when the gas relay 2 is calibrated, thereby improving the accuracy of the calibration and ensuring the reliability of the calibration results. Furthermore, when performing leakage calibration, the pressure can be read from the pressure gauge 28 to check whether the pressure has decreased, thus verifying the sealing effect.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment, the oil supply assembly 7 includes an oil supply pump 13, which can be a variable pump. The input end of the oil supply pump 13 is connected to an oil storage tank 14, and the output end of the oil supply pump 13 is connected to the oil inlet cylinder 5 through an oil supply pipe 15. A first control valve 16 is installed on the oil supply pipe 15. The first control valve 16 can adjust the amount of oil supply or cut off the oil supply in a timely manner according to the calibration requirements. The first control valve 16 can be a ball valve or a butterfly valve.

[0050] The oil tank 14 is also equipped with a level gauge 26, which can monitor the oil level in the oil tank 14 in real time, allowing operators to replenish the oil immediately. The oil tank 14 has a vent at the top and an ultrasonic generator 27 is installed on the bottom. The ultrasonic generator 27 is electrically connected to the control component 11. By utilizing the cavitation and stirring effects of ultrasonic waves, the oil in the oil tank 14 can be fully mixed and homogenized to ensure that the oil has uniform properties. At the same time, the cavitation and stirring effects cause air bubbles in the oil to escape, avoiding the impact of a large number of air bubbles in the oil on the calibration.

[0051] In this embodiment, the air supply assembly 9 includes an air compressor 17, the output end of which is connected to a gas cylinder 18. The gas cylinder 18 is connected to the oil inlet cylinder 5 via an air supply pipe 19. A gas flow meter 21 and a second control valve 20 are installed on the air supply pipe 19. Both the air compressor 17 and the gas flow meter 21 are electrically connected to the control assembly 11. The second control valve 20 can be a butterfly valve or a ball valve to facilitate control of the rate at which gas is introduced into the oil inlet cylinder 5. The gas flow meter 21 is used to detect the flow rate of the gas introduced into the oil inlet cylinder 5.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the oil return assembly 10 includes an oil return pump 22, which may also be a variable pump. The input end of the oil return pump 22 is connected to the oil return cylinder 6, and the output end of the oil return pump 22 is connected to the oil storage tank 14 through the oil return pipe. A third control valve 23 is also installed between the oil return pump 22 and the oil return cylinder 6. The third control valve 23 may be a butterfly valve or a ball valve. The oil return pump 22 is electrically connected to the control assembly 11.

[0053] The return oil cylinder 6 is also connected to the drain pipe 24, and the other end of the drain pipe 24 is connected to the return oil pipe. A fourth control valve 25 is installed on the drain pipe 24. The height of the fourth control valve 25 is lower than the height of the gas relay 2 and higher than the height of the return oil cylinder 6, so that the gas preferentially accumulates in the gas relay 2.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] The only difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that Example 2 also includes an oil temperature regulating component and a calibration data recorder.

[0056] The oil temperature regulation component is installed on the calibration box 8, and its output is connected to the oil inlet cylinder 5. It includes a cooling unit, a heating unit, and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is located inside the oil inlet cylinder 5 and is connected to the control component 11. The cooling unit can cool down the oil when the temperature is too high, and the heating unit can heat up the oil when the temperature is too low, ensuring that the oil temperature entering the gas relay 2 is stable within the set range, simulating different working conditions and improving the accuracy of calibration.

[0057] The calibration data logger is connected to the control component 11 and automatically records key data during the calibration process, such as the values ​​of the liquid flow meter 12, pressure gauge 28, and gas flow meter 21, as well as the operating time and parameters of the gas relay 2. The recorded data is stored in the memory of the calibration box 8 and can be retrieved and analyzed at any time, facilitating subsequent evaluation of the performance of the gas relay 2 and the working status of the calibration device.

[0058] The working principle of this utility model includes the following steps:

[0059] S100. Place the gas relay 2 on the workbench 1 and connect the corresponding pipes and circuits;

[0060] S200. When performing light gas action verification, the control component 11 starts the air compressor 17, regulates the second control valve 20 to supply air to the oil inlet cylinder 5, the gas flow meter 21 monitors the flow rate, adjusts the second control valve 20, the gas enters the gas relay 2, simulates the fault gas surge, triggers the light gas action, and the control component 11 records the action parameters.

[0061] S300. During the heavy gas action verification, the control component 11 adjusts the oil supply pump 13 and opens the fourth control valve 25 to make the oil flow rate reach the set value and trigger the heavy gas action.

[0062] S400. Supply oil to the inlet cylinder 5 and the return cylinder 6. After reaching the test pressure, close all valves and maintain the pressure for a period of time. Detect the pressure drop through the pressure gauge 28 to monitor its sealing performance.

[0063] S500. After supplying oil to the inlet cylinder 5 and the return cylinder 6 to expel air, start the return oil pump 22 to create a vacuum in the gas relay 2. The pressure gauge 28 detects the vacuum level and triggers the gas relay 2 to operate.

[0064] S500. Simultaneously, an oil sample mixed with gas is introduced into the gas relay 2, and the opening of the first control valve 16 and the second control valve 20 are adjusted to regulate the amount of gas mixture, triggering the gas relay 2 to operate.
