Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of transformer technology, and in particular to a rectifier transformer bank and power supply system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology and the improvement of industrial level, transformers have become an indispensable piece of equipment in industry.

[0003] Currently, a rectifier transformer bank with a wide range of output voltage levels typically consists of a voltage regulating transformer, multiple rectifier transformers, a voltage regulating switch, and other necessary components. It can achieve low-voltage output with a wide range of voltage levels to meet the process requirements of electrolysis and smelting. In electrolytic smelting production units, one rectifier transformer bank usually supplies power to multiple electrolytic smelting devices. The power factor of the rectifier system depends on the appropriateness of the firing angle (control angle) setting. When multiple electrolytic smelting devices have different production loads, because they share a single voltage regulating switch, a large range of adjustments to the rectifier firing angle (control angle) is required to adapt to the different loads. In this case, the rectifier firing angle (control angle) cannot achieve a relatively optimal value, thus reducing the power factor of the rectifier system. Utility Model Content

Example

[0021] Please see Figure 1The image shows a rectifier transformer group in the first embodiment of the present invention, including at least one N-split voltage regulating transformer 1, several rectifier transformers 4, an on-load tap changer 3, and other transformer components. The N-split voltage regulating transformer 1 includes several pairs of split high-voltage windings and several independent voltage regulating windings 2. Each voltage regulating winding 2 is connected to the corresponding rectifier transformer 4 through a corresponding on-load tap changer 3. The rectifier transformer 4 is used to supply power to the independent electrical equipment 6 in other components of the transformer.

[0022] Furthermore, the voltage regulating winding 2 adopts a split structure, with each pair of split high-voltage windings and one voltage regulating winding 2 forming an independent magnetic circuit unit to achieve electrical isolation; a rectifier 5 is provided at the output end of the rectifier transformer 4, and the independent electrical equipment 6 is connected to the rectifier 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, the rectifier transformer group further includes a controller 7, which is connected to the on-load tap changer 3 and the rectifier 5 respectively.

[0024] Preferably, the value of N is in the range of 2-6, the number of independent electrical devices 6 corresponds to the number of rectifier transformers 4, and the number of rectifier transformers 4 corresponds to the number of rectifiers 5.

[0025] Specifically, the controller 7 independently adjusts the corresponding on-load tap changer 3 to achieve coarse voltage adjustment according to the load requirements of the independent electrical equipment 6, and independently adjusts the firing angle of the corresponding rectifier 5 to achieve fine voltage adjustment. By coarse and fine voltage adjustment, the firing angle of each rectifier 5 is maintained in the optimal operating range.

[0026] In practical implementation, the voltage regulating transformer 1 is equipped with N pairs of split high-voltage windings and voltage regulating windings 2; each voltage regulating winding 2 is connected to a corresponding voltage regulating switch 3; the output of the voltage regulating switch 3 is connected to a corresponding rectifier transformer 4; each rectifier transformer 4 powers one electrolytic smelting device; when the production loads of the N electrolytic smelting devices (independent electrical equipment 6) are different, adjusting the corresponding voltage regulating switch 3 position allows the firing angle (control angle) of the rectifier 5 to achieve a relatively optimal value, thereby improving the power factor of the rectifier system. Only through the comprehensive use of the above structure and electrical connections can the output voltage of the rectifier 5 be matched to the production load when the firing angle (control angle) of the rectifier 5 reaches a reasonable value. All of the above structure and electrical connections are indispensable.

[0027] When the loads of the electrolytic smelting equipment (independent equipment 6) 1-N are different, the rectifier 51-N needs to output different voltages. The controller 7 adjusts the voltage regulating switch 3 position and the rectifier 5 firing angle (control angle) according to the set program. The voltage regulating switch 3 position is adjusted to coarse adjustment and the rectifier 5 firing angle (control angle) is adjusted to fine adjustment. In this way, the rectifier 5 firing angle (control angle) can be adjusted to an optimal operating range, and the power factor of the rectifier system is high.

[0028] This embodiment also proposes a power supply system for independent electrical equipment, including the rectifier transformer group as described above.

[0029] In summary, the rectifier transformer group and power supply system described in the above embodiments of this utility model have the following beneficial effects: 1. Each rectifier transformer is individually controlled by a corresponding voltage regulating switch, thereby enabling the firing angle to achieve the optimal operating range and improving the power factor of the rectifier system; 2. Adapts to different load power distributions without reducing the power factor; 3. Multiple voltage outputs can be achieved using a single voltage regulating transformer; 4. The manufacturing process requirements are no different from those of traditional rectifier transformers, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0030] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0031] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
