This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202110621263.4, filed on Jun. 3, 2021, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
This application relates to the field of transformer technologies, and specifically, to a dry-type transformer and a winding method thereof.
Insulation of a medium-voltage transformer or a high-voltage transformer has always been a difficult problem. On the one hand, an insulation medium needs to meet a dielectric withstanding voltage, and on the other hand, a requirement on a partial discharge parameter needs to be met to avoid electrical aging. Existing transformers may be classified into an oil-immersed transformer and a dry-type transformer. The oil-immersed transformer uses oil as an insulation medium, which has an advantage of a simple design and a disadvantage of a need to add oil, leading to problems of oil leakage and high maintenance frequency. The dry-type transformer uses a solid insulation material, and a proper air gap is reserved between a solid insulation material on a high-voltage side and a solid insulation material on a low-voltage side to ensure insulation, which has advantages of simplicity and reliability, and can overcome the problem of oil leakage of the oil-immersed transformer. However, the dry-type transformer has a disadvantage of a large size.
This application provides a dry-type transformer and a winding method thereof, to reduce a size of the dry-type transformer without reducing insulation reliability.
According to a first aspect, this application provides a dry-type transformer. The dry-type transformer includes a magnetic core, a first coil, a second coil, and a shielding component. The first coil is disposed around the exterior of the magnetic core, and the second coil is disposed around the exterior of the first coil. In a direction from the iron core to the second coil, the shielding component includes a first conducting layer, a second conducting layer, a third conducting layer, and a fourth conducting layer that are sequentially disposed at intervals, the first coil is disposed between the magnetic core and the first conducting layer, and the second coil is disposed between the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer. On one side of an axial direction of the iron core, the first conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer are hermetically connected and both are equipotentially bonded to the first coil, and the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer are hermetically connected and both are equipotentially bonded to the second coil. The magnetic core and the first coil, the first coil and the first conducting layer, the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer, the second conducting layer and the second coil, the second coil and the third conducting layer, and the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer are each connected by using a solid insulation layer.
In the dry-type transformer provided in this application, one end of the first conducting layer and one end of the fourth conducting layer are hermetically connected and both are equipotentially bonded to the first coil, and one end of the second conducting layer and one end of the third conducting layer are hermetically connected and both are equipotentially bonded to the second coil. In addition, the magnetic core and the first coil, the first coil and the first conducting layer, the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer, the second conducting layer and the second coil, the second coil and the third conducting layer, and the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer are each connected by using a solid insulation layer. In this way, an electric field generated between the first coil and the second coil can be completely limited within the solid insulation layers between the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer and between the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer, so that an air gap may not be reserved between the first coil and the second coil, to reduce a size of the dry-type transformer, and avoid a problem of electrical aging of an insulation material caused by partial discharge between the first coil and the second coil.
In a possible implementation of this application, the solid insulation layer between the magnetic core and the first coil may be an insulation tape. The solid insulation layers between the first coil and the first conducting layer, between the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer, between the second conducting layer and the second coil, between the second coil and the third conducting layer, and between the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer may be organic insulation resin material layers such as epoxy resin.
In a possible implementation of this application, the first conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer may be an integrally connected structure, and the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer may be an integrally connected structure. In this way, hermetic connection effects between the first conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer and between the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer can be ensured, to prevent partial discharge. In a possible specific implementation of this application, the first conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer may form a U-shaped structure, and the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer may form a U-shaped structure.
In a possible implementation of this application, the first coil may be one of a low-voltage coil or a high-voltage coil, and the second coil may be the other of the low-voltage coil or the high-voltage coil. When the first coil is a low-voltage coil, the second coil may be a high-voltage coil. When the first coil is a high-voltage coil, the second coil may be a low-voltage coil. The low-voltage coil and the high-voltage coil are relative concepts, and specifically may be determined by using quantities of turns in the coils. For example, when the quantity of turns of the first coil is lower than that of the second coil, the first coil is a low-voltage coil, and the second coil is a high-voltage coil. When the quantity of turns of the first coil is higher than that of the second coil, the first coil is a high-voltage coil, and the second coil is a low-voltage coil.
In a possible implementation of this application, the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer, the third conducting layer, or the fourth conducting layer may be made of a conductor material or a semiconductor material, to implement conduction.
In a possible implementation of this application, an end of each of the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer, the third conducting layer, and the fourth conducting layer is provided with a hook that is bent and extended in a direction away from the first coil. Hooks are disposed, so that electric fields at the ends of the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer, the third conducting layer, and the fourth conducting layer can be more homogenized.
In a possible implementation of this application, each of the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer, the third conducting layer, and the fourth conducting layer is provided with a potential fixing point, to connect to the first coil or the second coil. With the potential fixing point, it can be convenient to connect to the first coil or the second coil.
In a possible implementation of this application, the dry-type transformer includes an auxiliary shielding member, the auxiliary shielding member includes a first auxiliary conducting layer and a second auxiliary conducting layer, the second auxiliary conducting layer is disposed around the exterior of the first auxiliary conducting layer, and an auxiliary insulation layer is disposed between the first auxiliary conducting layer and the second auxiliary conducting layer. The first auxiliary conducting layer is equipotentially bonded to one of the first coil or the second coil, and the second auxiliary conducting layer is equipotentially bonded to the other of the first coil or the second coil. The auxiliary shielding member is disposed, so that a leakage prevention effect can be further improved, to reduce partial discharge.
In a possible implementation of this application, both the first auxiliary conducting layer and the second auxiliary conducting layer may be an annular cylindrical structure.
In a possible implementation of this application, each of the first auxiliary conducting layer and the second auxiliary conducting layer is provided with a potential fixing point, to connect to the first coil or the second coil.
In a possible implementation of this application, a shape of the dry-type transformer includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, an elliptic cylinder, or a square column.
According to a second aspect, this application provides a winding method of a dry-type transformer. The winding method includes the following steps:
preparing a first preform: providing a shielding component, where the shielding component includes a first conducting layer, a second conducting layer, a third conducting layer, and a fourth conducting layer that are sequentially disposed at intervals and have an annular structure, and on one side of an axial direction of the shielding component, one end of the first conducting layer and one end of the fourth conducting layer are hermetically connected, and one end of the second conducting layer and one end of the third conducting layer are hermetically connected; and respectively pouring an insulation material between the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer and between the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer, and coating an insulation material on a side surface of the first conducting layer that is away from the second conducting layer, a side surface of the second conducting layer that is away from the first conducting layer, and a side surface of the third conducting layer that is close to the second conducting layer, to form the first preform after the insulation material is cured;
inserting a first coil within a region surrounded by the first conducting layer, inserting a magnetic core within the first coil, and disposing an insulation layer between the magnetic core and the first coil;
inserting a second coil between the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer; and
equipotentially bonding the first conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer to the first coil respectively, and equipotentially bonding the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer to the second coil respectively, to form the dry-type transformer.
In the winding method of a dry-type transformer according to this application, the first preform is first prepared, and then the first coil, the second coil, and the magnetic core are assembled, so that winding difficulty can be reduced. An environment needs to be controlled vacuum only in the process of preparing the first preform, and in another process, a process requirement is low, so that winding process difficulty and production costs can be significantly reduced. In addition, a structure of the dry-type transformer formed by using the winding method in this application is the same as that of the dry-type transformer in the first aspect of this application. In the first preform, one end of the first conducting layer and one end of the fourth conducting layer are hermetically connected and both are equipotentially bonded to the first coil, and one end of the second conducting layer and one end of the third conducting layer are hermetically connected and both are equipotentially bonded to the second coil. In addition, the magnetic core and the first coil, the first coil and the first conducting layer, the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer, the second conducting layer and the second coil, the second coil and the third conducting layer, and the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer are each connected by using a solid insulation layer. In this way, an electric field generated between the first coil and the second coil can be completely limited within the solid insulation layers between the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer and between the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer, so that an air gap may not be reserved between the first coil and the second coil, to reduce a size of the dry-type transformer, and avoid a problem of electrical aging of the insulation material caused by partial discharge between the first coil and the second coil.
In a possible implementation of this application, before the insulation material is respectively poured between the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer and between the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer, the shielding component may be further fixed by using an insulator.
In a possible implementation of this application, the insulation material may be respectively poured between the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer and between the third conducting layer and the fourth conducting layer in a vacuum pouring environment. The insulation material is poured under a vacuum condition, so that bubbles can be prevented from being generated in formed insulation layers and affecting an insulation effect of the insulation layers. Except when the insulation material is poured, for which a process environment needs to be controlled vacuum, other assembly processes do not need to be specially treated.
In a possible implementation of this application, free ends of the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer, the third conducting layer, and the fourth conducting layer may be further bent in a direction away from the first coil, to form hooks configured to homogenize an electric field. The hooks are formed, so that electric field distribution at the ends of the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer, the third conducting layer, and the fourth conducting layer can be more homogenized.
In a possible implementation of this application, potential fixing points are formed on the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer, the third conducting layer, and the fourth conducting layer, to connect to the first coil or the second coil. The potential connection points are formed, so that it can be convenient to connect to the first coil and the second coil.
In a possible implementation of this application, the winding method further includes a step of preparing a second preform. The second preform includes a first auxiliary conducting layer and a second auxiliary conducting layer, both the first auxiliary conducting layer and the second auxiliary conducting layer are made of a conducting material, and an insulation material is poured between the first auxiliary conducting layer and the second auxiliary conducting layer, to form an auxiliary insulation layer after the insulation material is cured. When the insulation material is poured between the first auxiliary conducting layer and the second auxiliary conducting layer, a process environment may also be a vacuum environment, to remove air in the poured insulation material and prevent bubbles from being generated in the formed auxiliary insulation layer.
In a possible implementation of this application, the winding method further includes connecting the second preform to the first preform. The first auxiliary conducting layer is equipotentially bonded to one of the first coil or the second coil, and the second auxiliary conducting layer is equipotentially bonded to the other of the first coil or the second coil.
To make objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to accompanying drawings.
Insulation of a medium-voltage transformer or a high-voltage transformer has always been a difficult problem. On the one hand, an insulation medium needs to meet a dielectric withstanding voltage and on the other hand, a partial discharge parameter needs to be met to avoid electrical aging. Existing transformers may be classified into an oil-immersed transformer and a dry-type transformer. The oil-immersed transformer uses oil as an insulation medium, which has an advantage of a simple design and a disadvantage of a need to add oil, leading to problems of oil leakage and high maintenance frequency. The existing dry-type transformer can effectively resolve the problem of oil leakage of the oil-immersed transformer. The dry-type transformer is generally an industrial-frequency transformer, whose operating frequency is generally 50 Hz. During winding of the existing dry-type transformer, an epoxy resin material is first poured on a low-voltage coil and a high-voltage coil respectively, and then a high-voltage coil casting body and a low-voltage coil casting body are installed together, between which a sufficient air gap is reserved to ensure insulation. In the winding process, it is necessary in all steps to consider a problem of bubble discharge when an insulation material such as epoxy resin is poured, as well as how to protect the first coil and the second coil in the pouring process. Therefore, the existing pouring manner has problems of a complex process and a high requirement on a process condition. The dry-type transformer obtained by using the existing winding method has advantages of simplicity and reliability, and can overcome the problem of oil leakage of the oil-immersed transformer, but has a disadvantage of a large size.
To resolve the foregoing technical problems, this application provides a dry-type transformer.
