By adopting the technical scheme, the voltage regulating unit can regulate the amplitude of the power supply voltage so as to regulate the voltage value output by the transformer and further realize the voltage regulating function of the voltage regulator. The high-voltage winding and the low-voltage winding wound on the same iron core form a micro transformer, and the low-voltage winding can output load voltage to supply power for load equipment. When the load switch is turned off, the voltage regulating output end does not output power supply voltage any more, and the loss of the transformer can be reduced by supplying power through the low-voltage winding, so that the waste of electric energy is reduced.

By adopting the technical scheme, when the voltage regulator is applied to a three-phase power supply, the three-phase unbalance resisting capacity is achieved.

In a second aspect, the present application provides a voltage regulation system, which adopts the following technical scheme:

a voltage regulating system comprises a first detection unit, a control unit, an output unit and a voltage regulator of the first aspect;

the output unit comprises two input ends and a plurality of output ends, the two input ends are respectively connected with a switch element, one input end is used for being connected with the low-voltage winding, and the other input end is used for being connected with a transformer; the output end is used for being connected with load equipment;

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to fig. 1-2 and the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

The embodiment of the application discloses voltage regulating system is applicable to single phase power and three phase power simultaneously, not only can adjust transformer output voltage's amplitude, can also reduce the loss of transformer when the load of the load equipment who inserts is less, and then reduce the waste of electric energy.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the voltage regulating system includes a voltage regulator 1, a control unit 2, an output unit 3, a first detection unit 4, and a second detection unit 5. The control unit 2 can control the voltage regulator 1 to regulate the amplitude of the output voltage of the transformer 6, and can also automatically switch the power supply mode for the load equipment, so that the operation of the transformer 6 has higher safety.

It will be appreciated that the voltage regulation system can be adapted to both single phase and three phase power supplies, since the voltage regulator 1 can be arranged to be adapted to the connection configuration of the single phase and three phase power supplies. The following is described with a voltage regulator 1 suitable for a three-phase power supply:

the voltage regulator 1 comprises a voltage regulating unit 7, a load switch 11, and a high-voltage winding 12 and a low-voltage winding 13 which are wound on the same iron core. Wherein the load switch 11 can control the conduction of the voltage regulator 1 and the transformer 6. When the load switch 11 is turned off, the micro-transformer composed of the high-voltage winding 12 and the low-voltage winding 13 wound on the same iron core can supply power to the load equipment, so as to indirectly reduce the loss of the transformer 6.

Specifically, three groups of high-voltage windings 12 are provided, and each group of high-voltage windings 12 is connected with a voltage regulating input end and a voltage regulating output end respectively. The three voltage regulating input ends are used for connecting input voltage. Usually, three voltage regulation input terminals are respectively connected with three phases of a three-phase power supply in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Correspondingly, the three voltage regulation output ends are all used for outputting power supply voltage to supply power for the transformer 6.

Similarly, three voltage regulating units 7 are also provided, and each voltage regulating unit 7 is connected with a group of high-voltage windings 12 which are all used for regulating the amplitude of the power supply voltage. Specifically, taking one voltage regulating unit 7 as an example, the voltage regulating unit 7 includes a shift piece 71 and a plurality of taps 72 provided to the high-voltage winding 12. The plurality of taps 72 extend from different locations on the high voltage winding 12 such that the connection of the shift member 71 to any one tap 72 will engage a corresponding number of turns of the coil. Since the voltage regulating output end is connected with the gear shifting piece 71, the amplitude of the power supply voltage can be regulated when the gear shifting piece 71 is switched to different taps 72. Preferably, the plurality of taps 72 are uniformly distributed on the corresponding high-voltage winding 12, so that when the gear shifting member 71 is switched to different taps 72, the supply voltage output by the voltage regulating output terminal can be increased or decreased by a fixed variation.

In the present application, the load switch 11 is a three-phase linked switching device for three voltage regulation outputs. One side of the load switch 11 is connected with the three shifting members 71, and the other side is connected with the three voltage regulating output ends, respectively, for controlling whether the voltage regulating output ends output the power supply voltage. This is understood to mean that when the transformer 6 is connected to the voltage regulation output, whether the transformer 6 is energized or not can be controlled by controlling the on and off of the load switch 11. Because the high-voltage winding 12 and the low-voltage winding 13 wound on the same iron core can form a micro-transformer, after the load switch 11 is controlled to be switched off, the original power supply of the load equipment by the transformer 6 can be changed into the power supply of the load equipment by the low-voltage winding 13, and then the power supply mode is switched.

It should be noted that three groups of low-voltage windings 13 are also provided, and the three groups of low-voltage windings 13 correspond to the three groups of high-voltage windings 12 one by one for outputting load voltage. The three groups of low-voltage windings 13 all adopt a Z-shaped connection mode, so that the micro-transformer consisting of the high-voltage windings 12 and the low-voltage windings 13 wound on the same iron core has the capability of resisting three-phase imbalance.

Because the voltage regulator 1 suitable for the single-phase power supply and the voltage regulator 1 suitable for the three-phase power supply only have different numbers of phase lines and have the same connection mode and working principle, the voltage regulator 1 suitable for the single-phase power supply is not introduced here.

The second detection unit 5 is configured to detect a voltage output by the transformer 6 connected to the power supply voltage, so as to output a voltage detection signal.

The control unit 2 is connected to the second detecting unit 5 for receiving the voltage detecting signal to control the shifting member 71 to switch the connected tap 72 according to the voltage value reflected by the voltage detecting signal. Specifically, switching the tap 72 to which the shift member 71 is connected can change the amplitude of the supply voltage, thereby adjusting the voltage value output by the transformer 6. When it is detected that the voltage output from the transformer 6 is lower than the actually required voltage range, the control unit 2 controls the shift member 71 to switch the tap 72 to increase the voltage value output from the transformer 6. When it is detected that the output voltage is higher than the actually required voltage range, the control unit 2 controls the shift member 71 to switch the tap 72 to lower the voltage value of the voltage-transformed output so that the voltage value output by the transformer 6 is finally within the actually required voltage range.

The output unit 3 includes two input terminals and a plurality of output terminals, and the two input terminals are respectively connected with a switching element. One of which is intended to be connected to the output of the transformer 6 and the other of which is intended to be connected to the low-voltage winding 13. The plurality of output terminals are used for supplying power to a plurality of load devices.

The first detecting unit 4 is used for detecting the sum of the currents output by the two input terminals to output a current detecting signal.

The control unit 2 is connected to the first detection unit 4, and is configured to receive the current detection signal, so as to control the load switch 11 and the switching element K2 connected to the transformer 6 to be opened and control the switching element K1 connected to the low-voltage winding 13 to be closed when the current value reflected by the first current signal is smaller than the first preset value.

For ease of understanding, a specific example is illustrated: there are cases where the power load is small at night in places such as office buildings and factories not working at night, or there are cases where there is almost no load seasonally during the year such as irrigation. In these cases, some non-stoppable load devices such as lighting systems and fire fighting systems cause severe no-load loss of the transformer 6. Therefore, when the current output by the transformer 6 is detected to be smaller than the first preset value, the load carried by the transformer 6 is small. At this time, the load switch 11 and the switching element K2 connected to the transformer 6 are turned off, and the switching element K1 connected to the low-voltage winding 13 is turned on to stop the transformer 6, so that the transformer 6 is changed to supply power to the equipment with a small load, such as the lighting system and the fire fighting system, from the low-voltage winding 13, thereby reducing the loss of the transformer 6.

Considering that some places take events in holidays, the loads of non-stoppable load devices such as lighting systems and fire fighting systems are increased, and even the loads on the low-voltage winding 13 are too large to cause circuit failure.

For this purpose, the control unit 2 is further configured to control the switching element K1 connected to the low voltage winding 13 to be opened and the load switch 11 and the switching element K2 connected to the transformer 6 to be closed when the current value reflected by the current detection signal is greater than a second preset value.

In connection with the above examples can be understood: when the current value of the output end is detected to be larger than the second preset value, namely the load of the load equipment such as the lighting system, the fire fighting system and the like is increased, the switch element K1 connected with the low-voltage winding 13 is disconnected, and the load switch 11 and the switch element K2 connected with the transformer 6 are closed, so that the power supply from the low-voltage winding 13 is changed into the power supply from the transformer 6, and the no-load loss of the transformer 6 is reduced on the basis of safe power utilization.

In summary, by detecting the current output by the output unit 3 and the current output by the transformer 6, the control unit 2 can automatically switch the power supply mode, so that the operation of the transformer 6 is safer.

It should be noted that the first preset value is greater than the second preset value.

The implementation principle of the voltage regulating system in the embodiment of the application is as follows: a low voltage winding 13 is wound on the core where the high voltage winding 12 is located to form a micro-transformer. By controlling the on and off of the load switch 11 connected with the voltage regulating output end, the power supply of the transformer 6 to the load equipment is changed into the power supply of the low-voltage winding 13 to the load equipment, so that the no-load loss of the transformer 6 is reduced, and the waste of electric energy is further reduced.

The foregoing is a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the application in any way, and any features disclosed in this specification (including the abstract and drawings) may be replaced by alternative features serving equivalent or similar purposes, unless expressly stated otherwise. That is, unless expressly stated otherwise, each feature is only an example of a generic series of equivalent or similar features.
