Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment condition monitoring technology, and in particular to a 10kV distribution transformer insulating oil condition monitoring sensing device. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-immersed power transformers are an indispensable and crucial piece of electrical equipment in power systems. Failures in oil-immersed transformers not only disrupt normal power supply for users but also pose a direct threat to the safe operation of the power grid. With economic development and the continuous increase in power grid capacity, the number of oil-immersed transformers used in power systems is growing rapidly. However, due to poor manufacturing quality, unreasonable structural design, and various unpredictable problems encountered during operation, these transformers are facing increasing challenges.

[0003] Oil-immersed power transformers are critical equipment in power distribution networks, and their insulating oil plays a vital role in insulation and heat dissipation. Currently, monitoring the condition of transformer insulating oil mainly relies on periodic manual inspections, judging the oil level by observing the oil level window. This method has significant drawbacks: First, transformers are often installed outdoors at high locations, where dust easily accumulates in the oil level window, making observation difficult; second, manual inspections are inefficient and costly, and cannot achieve real-time monitoring; third, a single oil level indicator cannot comprehensively reflect the overall condition of the insulating oil, and potential faults such as abnormally high oil temperature or changes in internal pressure cannot be detected in time, easily leading to serious power accidents due to problems such as oil leakage, low oil level, or overheating. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can perform multi-parameter, real-time online monitoring of the condition of transformer insulating oil to achieve early fault warning and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a 10kV distribution transformer insulating oil condition monitoring sensor is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the displacement of the oil float can change the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving board, thereby converting it into an oil level value through the signal processing circuit.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pressure relief valve is configured to automatically open when the internal oil pressure of the transformer reaches 35±5Kpa.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: a communication socket is provided on the main body of the outer shell, which is connected to the motherboard for data transmission with the host computer via an RS485 interface and in accordance with the Modbus protocol.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the system includes a housing body 15, an upper cover 2 disposed on the upper end of the housing body 15, and a pressure relief valve 1 disposed on the upper cover 2. Inside the housing body 15, a main board 6 and a power circuit board 4 are fixedly mounted via a fixing disc 8, a first metal stud 5, and a second metal stud 7. A mounting cylinder 9 is disposed at the lower part of the housing body 15. Inside the mounting cylinder 9, an oil level detection unit consisting of an infrared emitting plate 10 and an infrared receiving plate 11 is disposed, as well as an oil float 21 that can float with the oil level. The oil float 21 is connected to a limiting cylinder 20 via a connecting rod 17 and is axially limited by a snap ring 18. A protective sleeve 19 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting cylinder 9, and a thermocouple for measuring oil temperature is disposed inside the protective sleeve 19. The main board 6 integrates a pressure sensor for measuring the air pressure above the oil surface, a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature above the oil surface, and a humidity sensor for measuring the humidity above the oil surface.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the displacement of the oil float 21 can change the infrared signal received by the infrared receiver board 11, which is then converted into an oil level value through the signal processing circuit. The pressure relief valve 1 is configured to automatically open and relieve pressure when the internal oil pressure of the transformer reaches 35±5Kpa. A communication socket 14 is provided on the outer casing 15, which is connected to the main board 6 for data transmission with the host computer via an RS485 interface and following the Modbus protocol.

The signal is processed by the main board 6 to obtain the oil level value. The thermocouple in the sheath tube 19 directly measures the oil temperature. The sensors on the main board 6 collect the pressure, temperature and humidity above the oil surface in real time. All data is uploaded through the RS485 interface.
