Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-immersed transformer technology, specifically a pressure relief device for an oil-immersed transformer. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-immersed transformers are a widely used type of power transformer. They utilize insulating oil to cool and insulate the internal components. This type of transformer is used to increase or decrease voltage to meet the power demands of different applications. When the internal pressure of the transformer exceeds the design-allowed safety threshold, if it is not released in time, it may cause deformation of the transformer tank, cracking of welds, or even explosion, resulting in serious equipment damage and safety accidents.

[0003] When existing pressure relief devices release pressure on transformers, the oil inside the transformer sprays out, making it difficult to collect the oil and causing it to fall onto the transformer. This can corrode and damage the transformer surface, and severe corrosion can lead to holes or cracks, resulting in a decrease in the sealing performance of the transformer tank and increasing the risk of oil leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the pressure relief device for oil-immersed transformers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure relief device for an oil-immersed transformer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pressure relief device for an oil-immersed transformer, comprising an oil-immersed transformer housing, a mounting frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil-immersed transformer housing, a drain pipe fixedly connected to the left side of the oil-immersed transformer housing, an insulating terminal fixedly connected to the top of the oil-immersed transformer housing, a radiator fixedly connected to the right side of the oil-immersed transformer housing, a mounting flange fixedly connected to the top of the oil-immersed transformer housing, a pressure relief mechanism installed on the top of the mounting flange, and an auxiliary exhaust mechanism installed on the top of the oil-immersed transformer housing;

A limit frame is fixedly connected inside the connecting flange, and a mounting plate is slidably connected inside the limit frame. A slide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, and a first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide rod. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first spring, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the mounting plate, thereby meeting the installation and use requirements of different models of mounting flanges.

A fixing ring is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe, which facilitates adjusting the position of the movable plate to adjust the tension of the second spring, thereby satisfying the requirement of automatic pressure relief of the oil pressure inside the oil-immersed transformer shell while achieving a sealing effect.

[0010] Preferably, the movable plate is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the sealing block is in contact with the fixed ring, which facilitates a more stable adjustment process.

[0011] Preferably, the movable plate is slidably connected to the first connecting platform, the movable plate is slidably connected to the second connecting platform, and the movable plate is slidably connected to the connecting pipe, which facilitates a more stable pressure relief process.

[0028] The pressure relief mechanism 7 includes an adjustment mounting assembly 71 and a pressure relief assembly 72, with the pressure relief assembly 72 located on top of the adjustment mounting assembly 71.

[0029] Furthermore, the adjusting mounting assembly 71 includes a connecting flange 711, which is located on top of the mounting flange 6. A limit frame 712 is fixedly connected inside the connecting flange 711. A mounting plate 713 is slidably connected inside the limit frame 712. A slide rod 714 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 713. A first spring 715 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide rod 714. A sliding plate 716 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first spring 715. A locking block 717 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 716, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the mounting plate 713, thereby meeting the installation and use requirements of different models of mounting flanges 6.

[0030] Furthermore, the slide plate 716 is slidably connected to the slide rod 714, the limit frame 712 and the corresponding position of the locking block 717 are provided with grooves, and the locking block 717 is inserted into the groove. Locking bolts are provided between the mounting plate 713 and the mounting flange 6 to facilitate a more stable installation process.

[0031] Furthermore, the pressure relief assembly 72 includes a connecting pipe 721, which is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting flange 711. A first connecting platform 722 is fixedly connected to the back of the connecting pipe 721, and a second connecting platform 723 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting pipe 721.

[0033] Furthermore, the movable plate 726 is slidably connected to the first connecting platform 722, the movable plate 726 is slidably connected to the second connecting platform 723, and the movable plate 726 is slidably connected to the connecting pipe 721, which facilitates a more stable pressure relief process. Example

[0034] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 7 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the auxiliary exhaust mechanism 8 includes a gas-liquid separation box 81, which is fixedly connected to the top of the oil-immersed transformer housing 1. A level gauge 82 is fixedly connected to the front of the gas-liquid separation box 81, an oil drain pipe 83 is fixedly connected to the left side of the gas-liquid separation box 81, an air inlet pipe 84 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting pipe 721, and a U-shaped exhaust pipe 85 is fixedly connected inside the gas-liquid separation box 81.

[0035] In actual operation, when this device is used, the threaded rod is a T-type threaded rod to provide self-locking, and the relevant connecting parts are sealed with rubber sealing rings. The operator adjusts and installs the device according to different models of mounting flanges 6. The operator pulls the sliding plate 716, which, in conjunction with the first spring 715, moves the locking block 717. This movement, along with the movement of the sliding rod 714, causes the mounting plate 713 to slide inside the limiting frame 712 until it reaches the designated position. Then, the sliding plate 716 is released, and under the action of the first spring 715, the locking block 717 inserts into the limiting frame 712. After installation, the operator adjusts the device according to the pressure relief requirements using a hex wrench, etc. The tool rotates the threaded rod 724. The rotation of the threaded rod 724, in conjunction with the limit rod 725, causes the movable plate 726 to move, thereby adjusting the tension of the second spring 727. When the oil pressure inside the oil-immersed transformer housing 1 changes, the sealing block 728 moves, in conjunction with the second spring 727, thus satisfying the automatic pressure relief of the oil pressure inside the oil-immersed transformer housing 1 while maintaining a sealing effect. The gas-liquid mixture is introduced into the gas-liquid separator 81 through the air inlet pipe 84. Due to its large inertia, the liquid oil particles collide with the surface of the obstacle and fall down. The gas, due to its good fluidity, bypasses the obstacle and continues to flow, and is discharged in conjunction with the U-shaped exhaust pipe 85. The liquid level gauge 82 is used to monitor the oil level inside the gas-liquid separator 81.
