Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer technology, and in particular to the connection technology between the circular tube bridge of a transformer and the air-cooled control cabinet, specifically referring to a fully sealed adapter box for a transformer tubular bridge. Background Technology
[0002] In the cooling system of large power transformers, the air-cooled control cabinet houses secondary equipment such as cooler control, protection, and signal circuits. A large number of control cables, signal cables, and power cables need to be laid between the control cabinet and the transformer body to transmit control commands, status signals, and power supply. Currently, products exported to developed countries such as Europe and America typically require the use of circular pipe cable trays. A common connection method is to directly connect the circular pipes of the cable tray to the inlet of the air-cooled control cabinet, and then run the cables through the pipes into the control cabinet. This method has the following significant drawbacks: First, the round pipe needs to be connected to the inlet port at the bottom of the air-cooled control cabinet using a connector. If a steel pipe connector is used, the size is too large and the bottom connection is difficult to install. If a flexible hose is used for connection, the waterproof and dustproof sealing effect is not good. Secondly, the bottom dimensions of the air-cooled control cabinet are limited, resulting in insufficient space. Multiple round pipes are directly introduced into the cabinet, which is inconvenient and can easily lead to concentrated wiring at the bottom of the air-cooled control cabinet, with multiple cables crossing each other, which is not conducive to later maintenance and troubleshooting.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a dedicated junction box to solve the above problems and achieve safe, reliable, sealed and convenient cable connection between the transformer round tube bridge and the air-cooled control cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a fully sealed adapter box for transformer tubular cable trays. The adapter box has a compact structure, is easy to install and operate, has good sealing performance, and a high protection level. It can effectively protect the connecting cables, provide a convenient operating interface, and simplify the incoming line structure of the air-cooled control cabinet.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a fully sealed adapter box for transformer tubular cable trays, including a box body, multiple round pipe interfaces arranged on the outer wall of the box body, waterproof connectors installed on the round pipe interfaces, a cabinet interface provided at one end of the box body, a flange fixed to the cabinet interface, an operation window opened on the box body, and a sealable door that can be opened and closed installed on the operation window.
[0006] This solution uses an adapter box to connect the transformer's round tube cable tray and the control cabinet. The round tubes of the cable tray connect to the round tube interfaces on the box, and waterproof joints are used to improve the waterproof sealing effect at the connection. The cabinet interface at the end of the box connects to the control cabinet's cable inlet, and flanges combined with sealing gaskets are used to improve the sealing of the connection. The adapter box significantly improves the waterproof and dustproof sealing effect between the round tube cable tray and the control cabinet, ensuring the safety of internal wiring and making wiring more convenient.
[0007] The junction box allows the cables output from the round conduit to be routed and wired inside before being introduced into the control cabinet. This facilitates the efficient use of the control cabinet's internal space, resulting in neater wiring and easier maintenance and troubleshooting. Furthermore, the box features an operating window for easy access to the wiring, which is sealed with a door to ensure the box's airtightness.
[0008] As an optimization, the box includes a first vertical segment and a second vertical segment that are parallel to each other, and a horizontal segment connecting the first vertical segment and the second vertical segment. The upper end of the second vertical segment is lower than the upper end of the first vertical segment. This optimized design gives the box an overall U-shaped structure, thus providing more wiring space and improving the neatness of the wiring inside the box.
[0009] As an optimization, the box body includes an L-shaped first split box and an L-shaped second split box. The vertical side of the first split box forms the first vertical segment, and the horizontal end of the first split box is detachably connected to the horizontal end of the second split box to form the horizontal segment. The vertical side of the second split box forms the second vertical segment. The specific structure of this optimized box body consists of two split boxes connected together, facilitating installation, disassembly, and internal wiring, and simplifying future inspection and maintenance.
[0010] As an optimization, the multiple round pipe interfaces are located on the first vertical section, and the upper opening of the second vertical section forms the cabinet interface. In this optimized design, the cabinet interface is located at the upper end of the lower second vertical section. When connected to the control cabinet, the first vertical section can be hidden behind the control cabinet, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall installation. Furthermore, with the round pipe interfaces located on the first vertical section, the cable leads must pass through the first vertical section, the horizontal section, and the second vertical section before entering the control cabinet, thus effectively utilizing the internal space of the box and improving the neatness of the internal wiring.
[0011] As an optimization, the axis of the circular tube interface is perpendicular to the axis of the horizontal section. This optimization allows the circular tube to connect to the side of the first vertical section for easy installation and fixation of the rear side of the first vertical section of the box.
[0012] As an optimization, the operation window is located on the side wall of the first vertical segment near the second vertical segment. This optimized solution positions the operation window on the front side of the first vertical segment, facilitating internal operation and easy installation and fixation on the rear side of the first vertical segment.
[0013] As an optimization, a hand hole for threading cables is provided on the side wall of the horizontal section, and a cover is installed on the hand hole. This optimization scheme facilitates personnel to operate and organize the incoming cables in the horizontal section through the hand hole, improving ease of use.
[0014] As an optimization, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the horizontal section, and a plug cap is installed on the drain hole. This optimized solution allows for the manual drainage of any small amount of condensate or accidentally introduced liquid that may enter the box, while maintaining internal and external air pressure balance. The drain hole is sealed with a plug cap to ensure airtightness.
[0015] As an optimization, reinforcing ribs are fixed to the inner walls of the first vertical section, the second vertical section, and the horizontal section. This optimization increases the structural strength of the box while also securing cables and ensuring aesthetically pleasing cable routing.
[0016] As an optimization, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first vertical section away from the second vertical section, and the mounting plate has elongated through holes. In this optimized solution, the mounting plate is used to connect with the transformer body support to achieve the installation and fixation of the housing.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the transformer's round tube bridge and control cabinet are connected by an adapter box. Through the adapter box, the waterproof and dustproof sealing effect between the round tube bridge and the control cabinet is greatly improved, ensuring the safety of internal wiring and making wiring more convenient.
[0018] The cables output from the round tube are connected and routed inside the junction box before being introduced into the control cabinet. This allows personnel to make reasonable and effective use of the internal space of the control cabinet, making the internal wiring of the control cabinet more organized and facilitating later maintenance and troubleshooting.
[0019] This junction box features a compact structure, convenient installation, maintenance, and operation, excellent sealing, and a high level of protection. It effectively protects the connecting cables, provides a convenient operating interface, and effectively solves the problems of protection, sealing, and maintenance of cable connections between transformer round tube bridges and air-cooled control cabinets. It significantly improves the safety and reliability of the secondary circuit of the power transformer cooling system. Attached Figure Description

The operating window 23 is used for personnel to perform wiring operations inside, and the operating window 23 is sealed and closed by the sealing door 5 to ensure the airtightness of the box 1.
[0024] The junction box significantly improves the waterproof and dustproof sealing between the round tube cable tray and the control cabinet, ensuring the safety of internal wiring and making wiring more convenient. The cable output from the round tube 25 is connected and routed inside the junction box before being introduced into the air-cooled control cabinet 26, which facilitates the rational and effective use of the internal space of the control cabinet, making the internal wiring of the control cabinet more organized and facilitating later maintenance and troubleshooting.
[0025] The box body 1 includes a first vertical segment 11 and a second vertical segment 13 that are parallel to each other, and a horizontal segment 12 connecting the first vertical segment 11 and the second vertical segment 13. The two ends of the horizontal segment 12 are respectively connected to the lower ends of the first vertical segment 11 and the second vertical segment 13.

[0028] The specific structure of the box 1 is composed of a first split box 14 and a second split box 15 connected together. The box 1 adopts a split design, which facilitates installation, disassembly and internal wiring operations, and facilitates later inspection and maintenance.
[0029] Specifically, the multiple round pipe interfaces 2 are disposed on the first vertical section 11, and the axis of the round pipe interfaces 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the horizontal section 12. That is, the round pipe interfaces 2 are located on one side of the vertical edge of the first split box 14, and the cable leads need to pass through the first vertical section 11, the horizontal section 12, and the second vertical section 13 before entering the control cabinet, thereby effectively utilizing the internal wiring space of the box 1 and improving the neatness of the internal wiring of the box 1. The round pipe 25 is connected to the side of the first vertical section 11 for cable entry, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the rear side of the first vertical section 11.
[0030] Specifically, the upper end of the first split box 14 is closed. The upper port of the second vertical section 13 is open to form the cabinet interface 3. That is, the upper port of the vertical side of the second split box 15 is the cabinet interface 3. A flange 4 is fixedly connected to the upper port of the vertical side of the second split box 15. The flange 4 is a rectangular flange 4 with bolt holes evenly distributed around its circumference.

[0036] Specifically, a drain hole 10 is provided at the bottom of the horizontal section 12, and a plug cap 21 is inserted and installed on the drain hole 10. In this embodiment, the drain hole 10 is located on the bottom surface of the horizontal side of the second split box 15, and the plug cap 21 is used to seal the drain hole 10. During use, the personnel can manually open the drain hole 10 to drain any small amount of condensate or liquid that may have entered the box 1, while maintaining the internal and external air pressure balance.
[0037] Working principle: During installation, firstly, the first split box 14 is bolted to the transformer body support via the mounting plate 6. Then, the cabinet interface 3 of the second split box 15 is bolted to the bottom inlet flange 4 of the air-cooled control cabinet 26 via the flange 4. Next, the position of the air-cooled control cabinet 26 is adjusted so that the first split box 14 and the second split box 15 are bolted together.
