Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drainage and sampling device for taking oil samples, and in particular, a drainage and sampling device for taking oil samples from an oil-immersed current or voltage transformer. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the social economy and the improvement of renewable energy power generation technology, various testing methods for power operation equipment have diversified. However, traditional oil sampling equipment has not been upgraded or improved in terms of user-friendliness. When these oil-immersed power equipment are in operation, the requirements for the gas and moisture content in the oil are high. The operating condition of the equipment can be judged based on the various media in the oil, which is the only standard for judging the safe operation of the equipment. According to the instructions and standards of the State Grid Corporation of China, such as transformers, on-load tap changers, and voltage transformers, periodic sampling and testing should be carried out as required to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the main equipment.

[0003] Traditional transformer manufacturers need to sample and monitor the oil inside current transformers and voltage transformers during product manufacturing and operation. This is to obtain oil sample data and analyze product failure types during testing and customer use. Currently, in the industry, the upper oil sampling valves generally do not adopt a downward-leading structure. The current transformers or voltage transformers are relatively high, requiring operators to climb up using insulated ladders. Climbing up nearly 5 meters of insulated material is dangerous, and sampling oil while it is energized poses a risk of accidents to operators. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sampling device for taking oil samples from an oil-immersed current or voltage transformer. Its structure is reasonable, which can avoid the danger of workers working at height, avoid oil sampling while the circuit is electrified, reduce labor intensity, and improve work efficiency.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A sampling device for oil sampling from an oil-immersed current or voltage transformer includes an oil storage tank for the current or voltage transformer installed on the top of a support in a substation. An oil sampling port is located at the lower part of the oil storage tank. The oil sampling port is connected to a drainage pipe via an oil sampling valve. The drainage pipe extends downwards along the support and connects to an oil inlet pipe housing an oil sampling control box. The oil inlet pipe, located inside the oil sampling control box, is connected to a quick oil sampling port via a main valve. The oil sampling valve is structured as follows: a valve core tube is installed within the inner cavity of a cylindrical valve body through a second and third sealing ring. An externally threaded pipe with a baffle plate at the bottom is installed on the valve core tube located at the upper part of the valve body. The externally threaded pipe is connected to the oil outlet pipe of the oil sampling port. An oil outlet is installed in the pipe hole of the valve core tube. The push rod has an upper part with a diameter smaller than that of the valve core tube hole, forming an oil inlet chamber. An annular groove is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the valve core tube, and the annular groove is connected to the oil inlet chamber through an oil passage. An oil outlet pipe is provided in the middle of the valve body and is connected to the annular groove of the valve core tube. The oil outlet push rod located at the lower part of the oil inlet chamber is engaged with the valve core tube hole through a fourth sealing ring. The oil outlet push rod extending from the lower part of the valve body is connected to a threaded sleeve with internal and external threads. The threaded sleeve is fitted with a nut cap through the external thread. A handle is provided at the lower end of the oil outlet push rod extending out of the nut cap. The structure of the oil outlet is that a spring-controlled steel ball is installed in the oil inlet passage provided on the interface seat. The steel ball is engaged with the outlet seat of the oil inlet passage. An oil outlet interface pipe with internal threads is provided at the outer end of the outlet seat.

[0006] The oil extraction valve of this invention is a pin-type connector with a handle threaded onto it. Rotating the handle extends the oil ejector rod, which pushes against the steel ball at the oil extraction port, allowing oil to flow down through the oil inlet chamber and oil passage into the oil extraction control box. The oil extraction valve is 360° rotatable, ensuring that it can be rotated in any direction to the desired location.

[0007] The oil extraction control box is tied to the steel pipe of the support frame.

[0008] The drain pipe is connected to the oil inlet pipe of the oil extraction control box, which is connected to the oil outlet via a main valve, allowing oil to be extracted. This invention is suitable for voltage transformers. It avoids high-level oil extraction and energized oil extraction, eliminating construction risks.

[0009] The oil sampling valve is normally open. When taking an oil sample, the sampled oil flows out from the quick oil sampling port by manually opening it.

[0010] This utility model has a reasonable structure, avoids the dangers of workers working at heights, avoids oil extraction while the circuit is electrified, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description
