Therefore, monitoring oil level changes and ensuring it remains within a suitable range is crucial for the stable operation of the transformer. However, traditional methods require personnel to travel to the site to check the oil level gauge on the transformer's oil tank (marked with oil level lines) and manually read the reading to determine if the oil level exceeds the limit. This is not only cumbersome and inconvenient but also prone to significant errors, resulting in unsatisfactory performance. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Furthermore, the pulsed radar wave oil level gauge 1 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the transformer by several bolts for use. The pulsed radar wave oil level gauge 1 uses a high-frequency oscillator as a microwave generator. The generator generates microwaves that are emitted downwards. When the microwaves encounter the liquid surface, they are reflected back. The distance to the material surface is calculated based on the time difference between the emitted wave and the reflected wave (i.e., the microwave pulse stroke). The pulsed radar wave method of measuring oil level has the following advantages: displacement-free, non-contact measurement, unaffected by temperature, pressure and gas, process pressure up to 40 bar, medium temperature up to 300℃, and is especially suitable for measuring the oil level of containers containing flammable, explosive, and highly corrosive media.

[0017] Furthermore, the rear left and right sides of the main unit box 2 are integrally formed with mounting side plates 3. The upper and lower ends of the mounting side plates 3 are provided with mounting holes 4. The mounting side plates 3 with mounting holes 4 are used for mounting the main unit box 2 relative to the transformer or the wall. The mounting method is bolt fixing. The main unit box 2 can be installed on the transformer or in a suitable location in the monitoring room for use.

[0018] Furthermore, a microcontroller 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the interior of the main unit 2. The microcontroller 8 is an STC89C52RC microcontroller, which is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8K bytes of system programmable Flash memory.

[0019] Furthermore, a rechargeable power supply 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom right side of the main unit housing 2, and the input terminal of the rechargeable power supply 9 is integrally connected to a power cord 19. The rechargeable power supply 9 is a rechargeable lithium battery. In use, the power cord 19 on the rechargeable power supply 9 can be connected to an external power source. Through the transformer element built into the plug of the power cord 19, the industrial power supply can be transformed to convert the industrial voltage into the safe low voltage used by this device to power the rechargeable power supply 9. At the same time, the rechargeable power supply 9 further powers the microcontroller 8, LED display 14, voice broadcaster 16, electromagnetic buzzer alarm 18, and pulse radar wave oil level gauge 1.

Sealing strips 20 are made of rubber and are used for sealing connection between the cover 10 and the main unit box 2.

[0021] Furthermore, a mounting groove 13 is provided in the middle of the cover 10. An LED display 14 is fitted inside the mounting groove 13. The LED display 14 uses an eight-segment digital tube display. It is a four-in-one common cathode digital tube, which is integrated by four eight-segment digital tubes. It lights up when the high level is high and uses a dynamic display method for display.

[0022] Furthermore, a second mounting slot 15 is provided on the right side of the cover 10. A voice broadcaster 16 is fitted inside the second mounting slot 15. The voice broadcaster 16 uses a JQ8900-16P voice module. The JQ8900-16P adopts a SOC solution, which integrates a 16-bit MCU and an ADSP dedicated to audio decoding. It adopts a hardware decoding method, which further ensures the stability and sound quality of the system. Its compact size better meets the needs of embedding in other products.

[0023] Furthermore, an installation groove 17 is provided on the upper right side of the cover 10. An electromagnetic buzzer alarm 18 is fitted inside the installation groove 17. The electromagnetic buzzer alarm 18 is mainly composed of an oscillator, an electromagnetic coil, a magnet, a vibrating diaphragm, and a housing. The sound-generating principle is that current passes through the electromagnetic coil, causing the electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field to drive the vibrating diaphragm to produce sound.

[0024] Furthermore, the rechargeable power supply 9, the voice broadcaster 16, the electromagnetic buzzer alarm 18, and the pulse radar wave oil level gauge 1 are all electrically connected to the microcontroller 8 via connecting wires.

This data is then transmitted to the microcontroller 8 for analysis and processing, and further displayed on the LED display 14. When the oil level exceeds the limit, the voice broadcaster 16 and the electromagnetic buzzer alarm 18 are automatically triggered. The voice broadcaster 16 provides a voice reminder of the current value, and the electromagnetic buzzer alarm 18 provides an alarm reminder, promptly informing and reminding staff to handle the situation. The oil level detection is accurate, efficient, labor-saving, and convenient. Furthermore, the automatic alarm reminder when the limit is exceeded prevents transformer malfunctions from going unaddressed and affecting its stable operation, making it a superior choice.
