Abstract

A flow-guiding rod includes a cooling channel provided in a rod portion of the flow-guiding rod, and a coolant inlet pipe and a coolant outlet pipe provided on end(s) of the flow-guiding rod. The coolant inlet pipe and the coolant outlet pipe are communicated with the cooling channel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flow-guiding rod, comprising:
a rod portion including a cooling channel therein; and
a coolant inlet pipe and a coolant outlet pipe provided at an end of the rod portion, wherein
the coolant inlet pipe and the coolant outlet pipe are communicated with the cooling channel;
the coolant is cooling water, the cooling channel is a water cooling channel, the coolant inlet pipe is a water inlet pipe, the coolant outlet pipe is a water outlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are connected to a water cooling circulation loop of a converter valve tower;
the rod portion of the flow-guiding rod is of a tubular shape, and the rod portion includes a tube wall which is hollow; the water cooling channel is disposed inside the tube wall, which is hollow, of the rod portion;
the tube wall is a triple-layer hollow tube wall, the triple-layer hollow tube wall includes a first-layer tube wall, a second-layer tube wall and a third-layer tube wall nested along a radial direction of the flow-guiding rod in sequence; in a length direction of the rod portion, a dimension of the first-layer tube wall, a dimension of the second-layer tube wall and a dimension of the third-layer tube wall are equal to each other; ends, located on a same end of the rod portion, of the first-layer tube wall, the second-layer tube wall and the third-layer tube wall are flushed with each other; a joint of the water inlet pipe jointed with the water cooling circulation loop of the converter valve tower and a joint of the water outlet pipe jointed with the water cooling circulation loop of the converter valve tower are located on a same end of the flow-guiding rod, and a grille or flow-guiding holes are formed in the second-layer tube wall at one end thereof away from the water inlet pipe or the water outlet pipe; the water cooling channel includes an outer annular water cooling channel disposed between the third-layer tube wall and the second-layer tube wall, and an inner annular water cooling channel disposed between the second-layer tube wall and the first-layer tube wall; in the length direction of the rod portion, a dimension of the inner annular water cooling channel and a dimension of the annular water cooling channel are equal to each other; and the outer annular water cooling channel is communicated with the inner annular water cooling channel via the grille or the flow-guiding holes; and
the water inlet pipe is communicated with the outer annular water cooling channel, and the water outlet pipe is communicated with the inner annular water cooling channel.

2. The flow-guiding rod according to claim 1 , further comprising a turbulent flow apparatus provided in the water cooling channel, wherein the turbulent flow apparatus includes:
a water inlet jointed with a water outlet of the water inlet pipe, and
a water outlet jointed with a water inlet of the water outlet pipe.

3. The flow-guiding rod according to claim 2 , wherein the turbulent flow apparatus includes a spiral flow guide.

4. The flow-guiding rod according to claim 1 , further comprising a liquid pump and a flow control valve, which are connected with the water inlet pipe.

5. The flow-guiding rod according to claim 4 , further comprising a temperature detector connected to the water outlet pipe.

6. The flow-guiding rod according to claim 5 , further comprising a heat dissipating controller provided outside the rod portion, wherein the heat dissipating controller is connected with the temperature detector, the liquid pump and the flow control valve, and is configured to control working conditions of the liquid pump and the flow control valve according to a water temperature of the water outlet pipe detected by the temperature detector, such that a temperature of the flow-guiding rod is within a preset scope.

7. A bushing, comprising the flow-guiding rod according to claim 1 .

8. The bushing according to claim 7 , further comprising:
an insulating housing, wherein the flow-guiding rod is sleeved with the insulating housing; and
a resin impregnated paper core or an oilpaper core sandwiched between the flow-guiding rod and the insulating housing.

9. A converter transformer system, comprising:
a converter valve tower including a converter valve group and a water cooling circulation loop;
the bushing according to claim 7 ; and
a converter transformer connected with the converter valve tower via the bushing, wherein
the cooling channel of the flow-guiding rod in the bushing is connected to the water cooling circulation loop via the coolant inlet pipe and the coolant outlet pipe.
