Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to transformer hoisting structures, and more particularly to a shaft-type side lifting lug for a transformer. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of power transmission and distribution systems, the reliability of transformer hoisting operations directly impacts grid operation safety and equipment lifecycle management. During transformer manufacturing, transportation, and installation, lifting lugs, as load-bearing connecting components, are structural members installed on transformers for lifting and must withstand long-term alternating loads, environmental corrosion, and mechanical impacts. Currently, the industry commonly uses traditional lifting lugs originating from welded structures of the 1980s. Their technical approach primarily involves cutting and welding Q235 carbon steel, supplemented by simple anti-rust coating treatment. However, with the development of power equipment towards larger capacity and higher voltage levels, and the expansion of applications in extreme environments (such as offshore wind power and chemical industrial parks), the performance limitations of traditional lifting lugs under complex operating conditions are becoming increasingly apparent.
[0003] Traditionally, transformers have shaft-type side lifting lugs welded to their side walls. During hoisting, the majority of the force on the transformer is in the vertical direction. Figure 1 As shown, the welded part at the rear end of the horizontal shaft of the shaft-type side lifting lug lacks reinforcement, which leads to stress concentration at the welded part and easy fatigue of the weld, posing a significant safety hazard to the transformer being lifted and the operators.
[0004] Secondly, the anti-corrosion coating on the surface of the transformer lifting lugs is subjected to great pressure during hoisting, and the anti-corrosion effect and lifespan of the coating after hoisting are generally not considered.
[0005] Finally, the structural strength of transformer lifting lugs cannot be determined by the naked eye, posing significant hidden dangers during actual transformer hoisting. This is especially true in offshore wind power installations, where transformers are hoisted at great heights and may be subjected to extreme conditions such as strong winds and high waves. Relying solely on visual observation of the transformer's hoisting status is unstable and unreliable, also presenting substantial safety risks. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a shaft-type side lifting lug for a transformer with low stress at the welded part and good safety performance.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is a shaft-type side lug for a transformer, including a horizontal shaft, an outer baffle, an inner baffle, and a support. The outer baffle is fixed at the front end of the horizontal shaft, the inner baffle is fixed at the middle of the horizontal shaft, and the support is fixed at the rear of the horizontal shaft.
[0008] The shaft-type side lug of the transformer described above has a support consisting of multiple reinforcing plates arranged radially along the transverse axis and circumferentially separated along the transverse axis.
[0009] The above-mentioned transformer shaft-type side lifting lug has four reinforcing plates, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the horizontal axis. The reinforcing plates are right-angled triangles, with one right-angled side welded to the outer surface of the rear part of the horizontal axis, and the other right-angled side of the reinforcing plate in the same plane as the rear end face of the horizontal axis.
[0010] The above-mentioned shaft-type side lifting lug of the transformer includes a protective enamel sleeve, which is fitted onto the transverse shaft between the outer baffle and the baffle, and the thickness of the protective enamel sleeve is greater than 0.5mm.
[0011] The shaft-type side lugs of the transformer described above have an inverted pear shape for the outer and inner baffles, and the radial dimension of the lower part of the outer and inner baffles is larger than the radial dimension of other parts.
[0012] The above-mentioned transformer shaft-type side lifting lug includes a safety monitoring device, wherein the horizontal shaft is a hollow shaft, and the safety monitoring device is arranged in the shaft hole of the horizontal shaft.
[0013] The safety monitoring device for the shaft-type side lifting lug of the transformer described above includes a speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor, and an angular displacement sensor.
[0014] The safety monitoring device for the shaft-type side lug of the transformer described above includes a detection shaft and four pressure sensors. The detection shaft is installed in the shaft hole of the horizontal shaft and is coaxial with the horizontal shaft. The four pressure sensors are arranged on the outer surface of the detection shaft, located at the front of the horizontal shaft, and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the detection shaft. The outer surfaces of the four pressure sensors respectively contact the top, bottom, left and right sides of the inner wall of the horizontal shaft hole.
[0015] The aforementioned transformer's shaft-type side lifting lugs, speed sensor, acceleration sensor, and angular displacement sensor are installed in the shaft hole of the detection shaft.
[0016] The aforementioned transformer's shaft-type side lifting lug has its front end of the detection shaft connected to the outer baffle by screws.
[0017] The shaft-type side lifting lug of this utility model is welded to the side wall of the transformer through a support. The stress at the horizontal shaft welding part is dispersed by the support, which effectively reduces the stress in the weld of the shaft-type side lifting lug and improves the safety performance of the transformer shaft-type side lifting lug.

The protective sleeve 50 is made of high-hardness nitrile rubber material, which can prevent the anti-corrosion paint on the horizontal shaft 10 from being worn or damaged by excessive pressure, thereby ensuring the anti-corrosion effect after hoisting. The protective sleeve 50 can be removed after hoisting.
[0030] The outer baffle 20 and the inner baffle 30 are inverted pear shape, and the radial dimension of the lower part of the outer baffle 20 and the inner baffle 30 is larger than the radial dimension of the other parts.
