Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of current transmission technology, and in particular to an oil-immersed upright current transformer. Background Technology
[0002] A current transformer is an instrument used to measure alternating current. It works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A current transformer can convert a large current on the primary side into a small current on the secondary side to facilitate measurement and protection equipment. It is widely used in power systems for current measurement, monitoring, protection and control.
[0003] Oil-immersed upright current transformers are a type of current transformer. Unlike inverted current transformers, their U-shaped primary winding is located at the top of the transformer, while the secondary winding and oil tank are located at the bottom. During installation and use, insulating oil for insulation and cooling needs to be injected into the oil tank. Then, the secondary winding is connected to the terminals inside the electrical box located on the outer surface of the oil tank. In actual use, current measurement is also required through an external measuring device inside the electrical box.
[0004] When using existing current transformers, some environments require the current transformer to be installed inside the chassis. When wiring the internal sockets of the junction box, it is necessary to open the hinged flip cover of the junction box. However, the space inside the chassis is too small, making it difficult to open the flip cover. If a screw-fixed cover is used, the cover needs to be removed before use, which is quite cumbersome.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an oil-immersed vertical current transformer, including a bushing 2, an expander 1 at the top of the bushing 2, an oil tank 3 at the bottom of the bushing 2, a winding component inside the oil tank 3 and the bushing 2, a wiring assembly 4 on the outer surface of the oil tank 3, and an oil drain assembly 5 at the bottom of the oil tank 3. The wiring assembly 4 includes a junction box 401 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the oil tank 3, a socket 406 inside the junction box 401, a sliding plate 404 slidably connected inside the junction box 401, a cover plate 403 slidably connected to the side of the sliding plate 404 near the junction box 401, and round holes that cooperate with the socket 406 inside both the sliding plate 404 and the cover plate 403.
[0030] Specifically, a locking pin 402 is inserted inside the junction box 401, and a socket for the locking pin 402 is provided on the outer surface of the sliding plate 404. A circular protrusion is provided on the outer surface of the locking pin 402. The inner wall of the socket of the sliding plate 404 and the interior of the junction box 401 are provided with grooves that cooperate with the circular protrusion. A limiting plate 405 is fixedly connected to the side of the cover plate 403 near the sliding plate 404. A limiting groove for the limiting plate 405 is provided on the side of the sliding plate 404 near the cover plate 403. A limiting groove for the sliding plate 404 is provided inside the junction box 401. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the cover plate 403 near the sliding plate 404. A rectangular groove for the moving connecting rod is provided inside the sliding plate 404.
[0031] Furthermore, when wiring is required, the locking pin 402 is pulled out, causing it to disengage from the sliding plate 404. Then, the locking pin 402 engages with the groove inside the junction box 401 through the central protrusion on its outer surface, thereby fixing the locking pin 402. Then, the connecting rod is moved, and under the action of the connecting rod and the limiting plate 405, the cover plate 403 and the limiting plate 405 move to one end of the limiting groove, thereby aligning the cover plate 403 with the round hole inside the sliding plate 404. At this time, the sliding plate 404 is pushed into the junction box 401, so that the socket 406 inside the junction box 401 aligns with the round hole inside the sliding plate 404 and the cover plate 403, thus exposing the socket 406, which facilitates wiring. The connection relationship, working principle and operation sequence between the winding component and other components are existing technologies and are common knowledge known to those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated further here.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The oil draining component 5 includes a fixed cylinder 502 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the oil tank 3. A locking cylinder 506 is movably connected inside the fixed cylinder 502. A fixed block 505 is fixedly connected to the top of the locking cylinder 506. A sealing disc 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block 505. A threaded pin 507 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed cylinder 502. The top end of the threaded pin 507 passes through the top end of the fixed cylinder 502 and is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the locking cylinder 506.
[0034] Specifically, connecting blocks 503 are fixedly connected to both sides of the locking cylinder 506. The outer surface of the fixing cylinder 502 is provided with a sliding groove for the connecting blocks 503 to slide. The top and bottom of the locking cylinder 506 are always sealed to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 502. Oil drain holes for draining oil are provided inside the locking cylinder 506 and at the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil tank 3. The sealing disc 501 can seal the oil drain hole at the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil tank 3. The bottom end of the threaded pin 507 passes through the bottom of the fixing cylinder 502 and is fixedly connected to the rotating block 504.
[0035] Furthermore, when the insulating oil needs to be replaced, rotate the rotating block 504 to move the threaded pin 507 downwards and open it. During the rotation of the rotating block 504, the connecting block 503 needs to be held to keep the locking cylinder 506 under downward force. This, in turn, causes the sealing plate to remain sealed to the oil drain hole at the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil tank 3 through the fixing block 505. After the threaded pin 507 is opened, push the connecting block 503 upwards to raise the locking cylinder 506, the fixing block 505, and the sealing plate 501. This allows the insulating oil inside the oil tank 3 to enter the fixing cylinder 502 through the oil drain hole inside the locking cylinder 506 and be discharged through the threaded hole at the bottom of the fixing cylinder 502. When it is necessary to pause the oil draining, press the connecting block 503 downwards to lower the locking cylinder 506 and the sealing plate 501, thereby continuing to seal the oil drain hole inside the oil tank 3.
[0036] Working Principle: When using an oil-immersed upright current transformer, after installing the current transformer in the designated position, when wiring is required, pull out the locking pin 402, causing it to disengage from the sliding plate 404. Then, the locking pin 402 engages with the groove inside the junction box 401 through the central protrusion on its outer surface, thus fixing the locking pin 402. Next, move the connecting rod. Under the action of the connecting rod and the limiting plate 405, the cover plate 403 and the limiting plate 405 move to one end of the limiting groove, thereby aligning the cover plate 403 with the round hole inside the sliding plate 404. At this time, push the sliding plate 404 into the junction box 401, so that the socket 406 inside the junction box 401 aligns with the round hole inside the sliding plate 404 and the cover plate 403, thus exposing the socket 406, which facilitates wiring without needing to flip open or disassemble the sealing plate. It is convenient to use. After a certain period of use, it needs to be insulated. When changing the insulating oil, rotate the rotating block 504 to move the threaded pin 507 downwards and open it. During the rotation of the rotating block 504, the connecting block 503 needs to be held to keep the locking cylinder 506 under downward force. This, in turn, causes the sealing plate to remain sealed to the oil drain hole at the bottom of the inner cavity of the oil tank 3 through the fixing block 505. After the threaded pin 507 is opened, push the connecting block 503 upwards to raise the locking cylinder 506, the fixing block 505, and the sealing plate 501. This allows the insulating oil inside the oil tank 3 to enter the fixing cylinder 502 through the oil drain hole inside the locking cylinder 506 and be discharged through the threaded hole at the bottom of the fixing cylinder 502. When it is necessary to pause the oil draining, press the connecting block 503 downwards to lower the locking cylinder 506 and the sealing plate 501, thus continuing to seal the oil drain hole inside the oil tank 3. This facilitates the control of switching the oil draining on and off at any time and does not cause pollution. Finally, the use of the oil-immersed vertical current transformer is completed.
