Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry-type transformer technology, and specifically to a dry-type transformer with a dual cooling structure. Background Technology
[0002] Dry-type transformers are widely used in local lighting, high-rise buildings, airports, docks, CNC machinery equipment, and other places. Simply put, a dry-type transformer is a transformer whose core and windings are not immersed in insulating oil. With the rapid development of my country's economic construction and the continuous increase in urban and rural electricity load, dry-type transformers, which are oil-free, fireproof, long-lasting, energy-saving, low-noise, easy to maintain, and safe and reliable, are being used more and more widely.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN219610172U discloses a dry-type transformer with a dual cooling structure, including a dry-type transformer housing. The housing has a door hinged to its surface. A heat dissipation device is installed at the top of the housing. Drying devices are installed on both sides of the interior of the housing. The dry-type transformer is installed in the middle of the housing. Water-cooling devices are installed on both sides of the transformer at the bottom of the housing. This dry-type transformer with a dual cooling structure allows for better air circulation within the housing through the heat dissipation device at the top and the ventilation holes in the door, resulting in improved heat dissipation. The water-cooling devices inside the housing provide timely cooling, and the dual cooling structure further enhances the overall cooling effect.
[0004] However, the above technical solution has the following shortcomings: the water-cooled box is set inside the dry-type transformer box. On the one hand, the heat carried out by the water-cooling device from the dry-type transformer is still inside the dry-type transformer box. On the other hand, no cooling mechanism is set in the water-cooled box, and the water temperature continues to rise, making it difficult to effectively cool the dry-type transformer. Utility Model Content

The heat exchange coil is sleeved on the surface of the transformer.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

The heat exchange coil 43 is sleeved on the surface of the transformer 6.
[0031] The refrigeration mechanism is located inside the housing 1, between the liquid cooling mechanism and the air cooling mechanism.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, this utility model proposes a dry-type transformer with a dual cooling structure. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment also specifically discloses the structure of the air-cooling mechanism. The air-cooling mechanism includes a mounting frame 31, a support frame 32, and a cooling fan 33. The mounting frame 31 is fixedly installed on the back of the housing 1 and is connected to the housing 1. The support frame 32 is installed inside the mounting frame 31. The cooling fan 33 is installed inside the mounting frame 31 through the support frame 32. The cooling fan 33 has forward and reverse rotation functions and is connected to the control system and power supply through wires. When the cooling fan 33 rotates forward, it blows air onto the transformer 6 to dissipate heat and cool the transformer 6. When the cooling fan 33 rotates in reverse, it carries the heat generated by the cooling mechanism out of the housing 1. A protective net 34 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the mounting frame 31, and a filter screen is provided on the surface of the protective net 34.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] like Figure 5-6 As shown, this utility model proposes a dry-type transformer with a dual cooling structure.

A partition plate 44 is fixedly connected inside the water-cooled box 41, which divides the water-cooled box 41 into an outlet water chamber 45 and a return water chamber 46. The inlet of the circulating pump 42 is connected to the outlet water chamber 45 through an inlet pipe 47, and the outlet of the circulating pump 42 is connected to the inlet of the heat exchange coil 43 through a water distribution pipe 48.

[0036] Example 4
[0037] like Figure 4-5 As shown, this utility model proposes a dry-type transformer with a dual cooling structure. Compared with Embodiment 3, this embodiment also specifically discloses the structure of the cooling mechanism. The cooling mechanism includes a cooling plate 21 and heat dissipation fins 22.

[0038] When transformer 6 is operating at low power, cooling fan 33 operates, blowing air from outside the housing 1 onto transformer 6 to cool it down. When transformer 6 is operating at high power and the temperature is high, circulation pump 42 and cooling coil 21 operate, and cooling fan 33 rotates in reverse.

Coolant in heat exchange coil 43 exchanges heat with transformer 6, cooling it down. The heated coolant enters return chamber 46 in water-cooled tank 41 through return pipe 49. Cooling coil 21 operates to cool coolant in return chamber 46. Cooled coolant enters outlet chamber 45 for circulation. Cooling fan 33 rotates in reverse, carrying the heat generated on the back of cooling coil 21 out of housing 1.
