The following further describes specific implementation of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a transformer coil according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a cross-section of the transformer coil according to an embodiment of the present invention, the cross-section being taken along a direction perpendicular to a central axis of a coil body. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the transformer coil includes: a coil body 10 and a protective layer 20;
the coil body 10 includes: the coil comprises a first sub-coil 101 and a second sub-coil 102, wherein the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102 are both of cylindrical structures, and the central axis directions of the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102 are the same; the first sub-coil 101 is arranged inside the cylindrical structure of the second sub-coil 102;
the protective layer 20 includes: an outer protective layer 201, an inner protective layer 202 and at least two supports 203; the at least two supporting bodies 203 are arranged between the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102 around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101, and a gap is formed between every two adjacent supporting bodies 203; the outer protective layer 201 is arranged on the outer side of the second sub-coil 102, and the inner protective layer 202 is arranged on the inner side of the first sub-coil 101; the outer protection layer 201 and the inner protection layer 202 are connected to the ends of the at least two supports 203, so that heat dissipation holes corresponding to the gaps are formed on the end surfaces of the protection layer 20.
Specifically, the protective layer 20 can insulate not only the conductors around which the coil body 10 is wound, but also the coil body 10 from other non-electrically connected conductors in the transformer. For example, when the coil body 10 is provided with an iron core inside and other metal members are provided around the coil body 10, the protective layer 20 may insulate the coil body 10 from the iron core and other metal members.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the transformer coil, a gap is formed in front of the supporting body 203 disposed between the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102, and meanwhile, heat dissipation holes corresponding to the gap are also formed on the end surface of the protective layer 20, so that external air can enter the interior of the coil body 10 of the transformer coil through the heat dissipation holes and the gap corresponding to the heat dissipation holes, and thus, in the working process of the transformer, heat generated by the coil can be discharged through the inner and outer surfaces of the coil body 10, and simultaneously, can be discharged through the gap and the heat dissipation holes, thereby improving the heat dissipation capability of the transformer coil.
In addition, the existing transformer coil only radiates heat through the inner surface and the outer surface of the coil body, so that the heat radiation capability is poor, the size of the coil body needs to be increased in order to avoid the risk that the test result does not meet the requirement of the test index during the temperature rise test, and the material cost is high. As described above, in the transformer coil according to the embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation capability is strong due to the existence of the gap, i.e., the heat dissipation hole, in the coil body 10, and therefore, the material cost of the transformer coil according to the embodiment of the present invention is lower than that of the existing coil under the same requirement of the temperature rise test index.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the supports 203 may be 2, or 2 or more, and when the number of the supports 203 is 2, the corresponding number of the gaps is 2, and when the number of the supports 203 is 2 or more, for example, 3, the number of the gaps is 3. The specific number of the supporting members 203 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the supporting bodies 203 disposed between the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102 around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101 is not limited, for example: the supporting bodies 203 may be distributed evenly circumferentially around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101, i.e.: so that the spacing distances between the supports 203 are equal, for example: if the number of the supports 203 is 3, the distance between the axes of any two adjacent supports 203 may be set to the same distance value L0; it is also possible to have the supporting bodies 203 circumferentially non-uniformly distributed around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101, i.e.: the distance between the supports 203 is made different, for example: the number of the struts 203 is 3, the distance between the axes of the first strut 203 and the second strut 203 is set to a distance value L1, the distance between the axes of the second strut 203 and the third strut 203 is set to a distance value L2, and the distance between the axes of the third strut 203 and the first strut 203 is set to a distance value L3, and the values of L1, L2, and L3 are not completely the same.
Optionally, referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, the at least two supporting bodies 203 are uniformly distributed circumferentially around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101, forming a plurality of gaps; the heat dissipation holes corresponding to the gaps are evenly distributed around the first sub-coil 101 in the circumferential direction.
In order to improve the heat dissipation capability of the transformer coil, and meanwhile, for the convenience of manufacturing, the supporting body 203 may be circumferentially and uniformly distributed around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101, that is: so that between every two adjacent supports 203
Since air can pass through the gaps formed between the adjacent supporting bodies 203 to reduce the heat generated from the transformer coil during operation, and the structure of the coil body 10 is symmetrical about the central axis direction thereof, in the case where the number of the supporting bodies 203 is plural, it is possible to uniformly distribute the supporting bodies 203 circumferentially around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101, that is: the distances between the central axes of two adjacent supporting bodies 203 are equal, so that the heat generated by the coil can be uniformly discharged in the working process of the power transformer, and the local overheating phenomenon in the coil is effectively relieved.
In the embodiment of the present application, the specific shape of the supporting body 203 is not limited, and correspondingly, the shape of the gap formed by at least two supporting bodies 203 is also not limited, for example: a columnar void may be formed, and a cross section taken in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the coil body 10 may also be any shape, for example: the cross section may be polygonal with rounded corners or corners having a certain curvature, etc. In addition, for convenience of manufacture, the shape and size of each support 203 may be the same, and accordingly, the shape and size of the plurality of voids formed by at least two supports 203 may also be the same.
Optionally, referring to fig. 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, a cross section of the gap formed by the at least two supporting bodies 203 taken in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the first sub-coil 101 is circular.
When the transformer coil is manufactured, an air channel strip is usually wound between the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102 of the coil body 10, then a winding mold including the coil body 10 is immersed in a liquid insulating material, a gap in the winding mold is cast by using the liquid insulating material to form a protective layer, and finally, after the liquid insulating material is solidified, the air channel strip is extracted from the interior of the coil body 10. Therefore, if the cross section of the gap formed by the at least two supporting bodies 203, which is cut along the direction perpendicular to the central axis of the first sub-coil 101, is set to be circular, correspondingly, the cross section of the air channel strip is also circular, so that when the air channel strip is drawn out from the inside of the coil body 10, the used pulling force is smaller, and further, the manufacturing process of the transformer coil is more convenient.
In particular, to further facilitate the extraction of the airway strip from inside the coil body 10, it is also possible to: the radius of the circular cross section of the gap formed by the support 203 is gradually reduced along the central axis of the coil body 10.
Alternatively, in an embodiment of the present invention, the protective layer 20 may be a protective layer formed by a molding process using a liquid insulating material.
Alternatively, in an embodiment of the present invention, the number of the coil bodies 10 may also be multiple, the axes of the coil bodies 10 are on the same straight line, and each coil body 10 includes a first end and a second end, and the second end of the previous coil body 10 is connected with the first end of the next coil body 10 along the axial direction of the coil body 10, so that the coil bodies 10 are connected in series.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a winding method of a transformer coil, and fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of the winding method of the transformer coil provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:
step 301, winding a first sub-coil 101 around the outer surface of an inner mold of a winding mold; the first sub-coil 101 is of a cylindrical structure; the winding mold comprises: the inner die, the outer die, the first end cover and the second end cover.
The inner die and the outer die are both cylindrical structures; the central axis directions of the inner mold and the outer mold are the same, and the outer mold is arranged inside the outer mold; the first end cover and the second end cover are respectively arranged at two ends of the inner die and the outer die; a first groove is formed in the side face, close to the second end cover, of the first end cover; and a second groove is formed in the side surface, close to the first end cover, of the second end cover, and the shape of the first groove is the same as that of the second groove.
At step 302, at least two airway strips are placed around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101.
For each air channel strip, two ends of the air channel strip are respectively placed in the first groove of the first end cover and the second groove of the second end cover, so that the air channel strip is fixed relative to the first sub-coil 101.
Step 303, winding a second sub-coil 102 on the outer sides of the at least two air channel strips to form a coil body 10 of the transformer coil; the second sub-coil 102 is a cylindrical structure, the central axis directions of the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102 are the same, and the coil body 10 includes: a first sub-coil 101 and said second sub-coil 102.
Step 304, immersing the winding mold in a liquid insulating material to cast the gap in the winding mold with the liquid insulating material.
Step 305, taking the winding mold out of the liquid insulating material.
Step 306, after the liquid insulating material inside the winding mold is cured to form the protective layer 20 of the transformer coil, sequentially removing the outer mold, the first end cover, the second end cover and the inner mold of the winding mold, and taking out the at least two air channel strips from the inside of the coil body 10.
Wherein, the protection layer 20 includes: an outer protective layer 201, an inner protective layer 202 and at least two supports 203; the at least two supporting bodies 203 are arranged between the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102 around the outer surface of the first sub-coil 101, and a gap is formed between every two adjacent supporting bodies 203 between the first sub-coil 101 and the second sub-coil 102; the outer protective layer 201 is arranged on the outer side of the second sub-coil 102, and the inner protective layer 202 is arranged on the inner side of the first sub-coil 101; the outer protection layer 201 and the inner protection layer 202 are connected to the ends of the at least two supports 203, so that heat dissipation holes corresponding to the gaps are formed on the end surfaces of the protection layer 20.
Inside transformer coil, the space has been formed before setting up the supporter between first sub-coil 101 and second sub-coil 102, simultaneously, the terminal surface of protective layer 20 has also formed the louvre that corresponds with above-mentioned space, therefore, the outside air can get into transformer coil's coil body 10's inside through the louvre and the space that corresponds with the louvre, thus, in the transformer working process, the heat that the coil produced, not only can be through the inside and outside surface discharge of coil body 10, simultaneously, can also discharge through above-mentioned space and louvre, therefore, transformer coil's heat-sinking capability has been promoted.
In addition, the existing transformer coil only radiates heat through the inner surface and the outer surface of the coil body, so that the heat radiation capability is poor, the size of the coil body needs to be increased in order to avoid the risk that the test result does not meet the requirement of the test index during the temperature rise test, and the material cost is high. As described above, in the transformer coil according to the embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation capability is strong due to the existence of the gap, i.e., the heat dissipation hole, in the coil body 10, and therefore, the material cost of the transformer coil according to the embodiment of the present invention is lower than that of the existing coil under the same requirement of the temperature rise test index.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the step 304 of immersing the winding mold in a liquid insulating material to cast the gap in the winding mold with the liquid insulating material may be implemented as the following steps:
and immersing the winding mold into a liquid insulating material in a vacuum environment so as to cast the gap in the winding mold with the liquid insulating material.
In order to avoid bubbles generated inside the coil body 10 during the casting process, the casting operation in the present invention may be performed in a vacuum environment, and specifically, the vacuum pumping operation may be performed on the closed space where the winding mold and the liquid insulating material are located, and then the winding mold is immersed in the liquid insulating material, so as to cast the gap in the winding mold with the liquid insulating material.
Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, the at least two airway strips in step 302 are all the same in shape and size.
In order to improve the manufacturing efficiency of the air channel strips used in the embodiment of the invention, the shapes and the sizes of the air channel strips can be uniformly set.
Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present application, the liquid insulating material in step 304 may be a liquid epoxy resin; correspondingly, the material of the airway strip in step 302 may be polyoxymethylene resin.
Specifically, since the air channel strip needs to be immersed in the liquid insulating material during the manufacturing process of the transformer coil provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the air channel strip needs to be extracted from the liquid insulating material after the liquid insulating material is solidified, the material of the air channel strip should not be dissolved in the liquid insulating material. Further, in order to facilitate the extraction of the air channel strip, a material with a thermal expansion coefficient higher than that of the liquid insulating material can be selected to manufacture the air channel strip, specifically, when the liquid insulating material can be liquid epoxy resin, because the polyoxymethylene resin is not dissolved with the epoxy resin, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the polyoxymethylene resin is greater than that of the epoxy resin, therefore, the material of the air channel strip can be polyoxymethylene resin, and thus, after the liquid epoxy resin is cured, the shrinkage of the polyoxymethylene resin is greater than that of the support body formed after the liquid epoxy resin is cured, and therefore, a gap can be formed between the support body and the air channel strip manufactured by the polyoxymethylene resin, so that the extraction process of the air channel strip is more labor-saving.
The above are merely examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and alterations to this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
