Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry-type transformer technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation structure for a dry-type transformer. Background Technology

[0002] Dry-type transformers are widely used in lighting, construction, airports, docks, and precision equipment due to their environmental and fire-resistant advantages. Their core characteristic is that the core and windings are not immersed in insulating oil.

[0003] Dry-type transformers are primarily cooled by natural air cooling (AN) and forced air cooling (AF). Under natural cooling (AN), the transformer can operate at its rated capacity for extended periods. Forced cooling (AF), on the other hand, uses cooling fans to force airflow, increasing the output capacity by approximately 50%, making it suitable for short-term overloads or emergency situations. However, overload operation results in increased losses and impedance, leading to poor economic efficiency and making it unsuitable for long-term operation.

[0004] Existing dry-type transformers typically employ cooling fans on both sides below the windings for forced cooling. However, a common problem is that the airflow generated by the fans is primarily vertically upward, with only a portion effectively contacting the winding surface for heat dissipation. The majority of the airflow exhibits low heat dissipation efficiency, resulting in unsatisfactory overall cooling performance. A common industry improvement method is to simply increase the fan power, but this does not effectively improve cooling efficiency. Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to address the inefficiency of existing cooling methods. This application is proposed against this backdrop. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of traditional dry-type transformer designs and provide a product that improves cooling efficiency and saves energy.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

The outer wall of the insulating layer is provided with a heat-conducting plate. The inner wall of the heat-conducting plate is provided with a plurality of heat-conducting parts evenly distributed along the circumference and embedded in the insulating layer. The outer wall of the heat-conducting plate is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins evenly distributed along the circumference. The insulating layer is provided with a plurality of inclined ventilation channels evenly distributed along the circumference. The bottom of the insulating layer is provided with a first air guide shroud. The second air guide shroud is provided below the first air guide shroud. The first air guide shroud and the second air guide shroud form a flow channel and are located below the heat dissipation fins. The second air guide shroud is provided with a cooling fan for drawing outside air into the ventilation channel and the flow channel.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the insulating layer is provided with a plurality of heat-conducting grooves to accommodate heat-conducting parts, and the bottom of the insulating layer is provided with a sink groove.

[0009] Preferably, the coil winding is provided with an iron core, and the first and second guide shrouds are provided with clearance grooves to avoid the iron core.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the first flow guide is provided with a plurality of support feet, the support feet being connected and fixed to the second flow guide by screws, and the end face of the first flow guide is provided with an abutment portion that abuts against the inner wall of the settling tank.

[0014] Preferably, the system further includes a substrate, which has several support portions and is fixed to the support feet by screws, so that the second flow guide cover and the substrate maintain a distance for the gas medium to flow through.

[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes a cooling fan to actively draw in cool air and continuously guide it to the heat dissipation fins and ventilation channels. Combined with a design that increases the contact interface between the heat-conducting plate and the insulation layer, this significantly improves heat transfer efficiency. This allows for more effective heat exchange between the cooling fins and the cool air, thereby effectively controlling and reducing the temperature of the insulation layer and coil windings. Simultaneously, the inclined ventilation channel design increases the contact area between the cool air and the channel walls, ensuring that the cool air flows more evenly across the insulation layer, promoting sufficient heat exchange and further suppressing the temperature rise of the coil windings. Thanks to the above optimized design, this technical solution only requires a single cooling fan for each coil winding to achieve stable temperature control. This dual cooling mechanism works synergistically to further reduce the overall operating temperature of the coil windings. Ultimately, by effectively controlling temperature rise and optimizing fan configuration, this application significantly reduces the power consumption of the cooling system on the dry-type transformer, achieving the technical objective of energy saving and consumption reduction.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] Reference example Figures 1 to 6 A heat dissipation structure for a dry-type transformer includes an insulating layer 1 and a coil winding 2 disposed therein. The outer wall of the insulating layer 1 is provided with a heat-conducting plate 3. The inner wall of the heat-conducting plate 3 is provided with a plurality of heat-conducting parts 31 evenly distributed along the circumference and embedded in the insulating layer 1. The outer wall of the heat-conducting plate 3 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 32 evenly distributed along the circumference. The insulating layer 1 is provided with a plurality of inclined ventilation channels 11 evenly distributed along the circumference. The bottom of the insulating layer 1 is provided with a first flow guide shroud 4. The second flow guide shroud 5 is provided below the first flow guide shroud 4. The first flow guide shroud 4 and the second flow guide shroud 5 form a flow guide channel 6 and are located below the heat dissipation fins 32. The second flow guide shroud 5 is provided with a cooling fan 7 for drawing outside air into the ventilation channel 11 and the flow guide channel 6.

[0037] The cooling fan 7 actively draws in cool air and continuously directs it to the heat dissipation fins 32 and ventilation channels 11. Combined with the design of the heat-conducting part 31 to increase the contact interface between the heat-conducting plate 3 and the insulation layer 1, the heat conduction efficiency is significantly improved. This allows heat to be exchanged more effectively between the cooling fins 32 and the cool air, thereby achieving effective control and reduction of the temperature of the insulation layer 1 and the coil winding 2. At the same time, the inclined ventilation channel 11 design increases the contact range between the cool air and the channel wall, ensuring that the cool air can flow more evenly through all parts of the insulation layer 1, promoting sufficient heat exchange and further suppressing the temperature rise of the coil winding 2. Thanks to the above optimized design, this technical solution only needs to configure a single cooling fan 7 for each coil winding 2 to achieve stable control of the winding temperature. This dual heat dissipation mechanism works synergistically to further reduce the overall operating temperature of the coil winding 2. Finally, by effectively controlling the temperature rise and optimizing the fan configuration, this application significantly reduces the heat dissipation system's impact on the operating power consumption of the dry-type transformer, achieving the technical goal of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the outer wall of the insulating layer 1 is provided with several heat-conducting grooves 12 for accommodating the heat-conducting part 31, and the bottom of the insulating layer 1 is provided with a recessed groove 13. The heat-conducting grooves 12 increase the contact area between the heat-conducting part 31 and the insulating layer 1, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency. The recessed groove 13 is used in conjunction with the contact part 42.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that the coil winding 2 is provided with an iron core 21, and the first guide shroud 4 and the second guide shroud 5 are provided with clearance grooves 8 to avoid the iron core 21;

[0040] It is worth mentioning that the outer wall of the first flow guide 4 is provided with several support feet 41. The support feet 41 are connected and fixed to the second flow guide 5 by screws. The end face of the first flow guide 4 is provided with an abutment part 42, which abuts against the inner wall of the sink 13. The labyrinth-like sealing structure formed by the abutment part 42 and the sink 13 effectively prevents the gas medium entering the first flow guide 4 from leaking out through the connection gap, thereby ensuring that the cold air can be smoothly introduced into the ventilation channel 11.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that the first air guide shroud 4 is provided with a first air guide part 43 that is tapered towards the axis and is inclined. The first air guide part 43 is provided with a number of first ventilation holes 44 at equal intervals. Through the design of the first air guide part 43, the cold air drawn vertically by the cooling fan 7 can be guided in an orderly manner so that it enters the air guide channel 6 and the first ventilation holes 44 respectively.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that the bottom inner part of the second air guide shroud 5 is provided with a second ventilation hole 51, and a filter screen 52 is provided at the entrance of the second ventilation hole 51. The filter screen 52 is used to filter out impurities in the air entering the second air guide shroud 5, preventing the air guide channel 6 and the first ventilation hole 44 from being blocked due to the accumulation of impurities, thereby ensuring heat dissipation efficiency.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that the top of the insulation layer 1 is also provided with an insulation pad 14. The insulation pad 14 is provided with a pressure relief groove 141 that avoids the flow channel 6. The top of the pressure relief groove 141 is provided with an inclined second flow guide 142. Through the design of the second flow guide 142, hot air can be guided to be discharged quickly and orderly, avoiding the formation of turbulence at the pressure relief groove 141, thereby helping to maintain effective convection circulation and air flow speed.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the system also includes a substrate 9, which has several support portions 91 and is fixed to the support feet 41 by screws, so that the second flow guide shroud 5 and the substrate 9 maintain a distance for the gas medium to flow.

It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
