[0050] At present, the commonly used material for train transformer oil tanks is low-carbon steel, and the density of carbon steel is about three times that of aluminum alloy. This type of transformer oil tank is heavy, which is not conducive to the lightweight of the entire vehicle.

[0051] In the process of pursuing speed, high-impedance transformer application and lightweight development of various components, the light density and high conductivity of aluminum alloy are very important material properties in the innovation process of transformer products. Aluminum alloy products are used on a large scale in various manufacturing industries, and aluminum alloy materials have matured in important technical fields such as product design, raw material performance, process forming and welding. Foreign countries have the technical capabilities to develop aluminum alloy material tanks for rail traction transformers, and have successfully tested them on some high-speed EMUs, but due to the complexity of aluminum alloy tank manufacturing and high cost restrictions, it has always been difficult to apply them in batches. Therefore, the existing rail transformer tanks are usually mainly low-carbon steel tanks.

[0052] The transformer oil tank provided by the utility model is firstly provided with a box body 1, wherein the box body 1 is a hollow box-shaped structure formed by bending an aluminum alloy plate. Since the aluminum alloy material has a low density and relatively high strength, it breaks through the limitation of the size range of the aluminum alloy raw material, can meet the requirements of lightweight and miniaturization of vehicle transformers, and is more suitable for lightweight and miniaturization of vehicle transformers compared with the carbon steel material in the prior art. The transformer oil tank provided by the utility model is also provided with a top plate 2 and a bottom plate 3, the top plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1, and the bottom plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1, and the box body 1, the top plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 form the basic frame of the transformer oil tank. Secondly, a mounting frame assembly 4 and a fastening mechanism 5 are also provided. The mounting frame assembly 4 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the box body 1, and the mounting frame assembly 4 is used to fix the box body to the vehicle body, so that the box body is suspended on the vehicle body. The fastening mechanism 5 is arranged on the bottom plate 3, and the fastening mechanism 5 is used to fix the heavy parts 6 in the box body to the bottom plate 3, so as to prevent the heavy parts 6 in the box body from shaking in the box body. It can be seen that compared with the prior art, the transformer oil tank in the embodiment of the utility model is made of aluminum alloy material, which is more suitable for lightweight and miniaturization of vehicle transformers; the box body 1 reduces welds through a bending process, and improves the structural strength and welding process level.

[0053] It needs to be emphasized that, firstly, the box body in the embodiment of the present invention is made of aluminum alloy material, which is light in weight, thereby improving the overall level of lightweight transformer; secondly, the box body 1 in the embodiment of the present invention is formed by bending an aluminum alloy plate, breaking through the limitation of the bending and forming process of aluminum alloy raw materials within a certain size range, and the head and tail sides of the box body 1 are fixedly connected by welding, which can reduce welds and improve the strength of the structure and the welding process level.

[0054] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the box body 1 in the embodiment of the utility model are fixedly connected by tailoring welding. The application of tailoring welding converts the T-shaped weld into a butt weld, thereby improving the strength of the key stress-bearing position of the structure.

[0055] Furthermore, as one of the implementation modes, the bottom plate 3 and the box body 1, and the box body 1 and the mounting frame assembly 4 in the embodiment of the utility model are fixedly connected by welding. Furthermore, the bottom plate 3, the box body 1, the box edge 91, and the base 92 are overlapped, that is, the overlapping positions are partially overlapped, and welding is performed on both sides of the overlapping positions to improve the quality and strength of the welds.

[0056] In the above structure, the structure of the top plate 2 in the embodiment of the utility model can be diversified. Specifically, the top plate 2 in the embodiment of the utility model includes but is not limited to any one of a structure with an electrical interface, a flat plate without an electrical interface, or a reinforced rib cover plate structure.

[0057] Furthermore, the mounting frame assembly 4 in the embodiment of the utility model is fixed to the outer side of the box body 1 by welding, and the mounting frame assembly 4 is fixed to the vehicle body to achieve a suspension connection between the fuel tank and the vehicle body.

[0058] In the above structure, as one of the implementation modes, two groups of mounting frame assemblies 4 are provided in the embodiment of the utility model, and the two groups of mounting frame assemblies 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box body 1.

[0059] Furthermore, as one embodiment, at least one mounting frame is provided in a group of mounting frame assemblies 4 in the embodiment of the utility model, and when at least two mounting frames are provided in a group of mounting frame assemblies 4, the mounting frames are spaced apart along the width direction of the box body 1.

[0060] Furthermore, the embodiment of the utility model provides a specific structure of a U-shaped mounting frame, specifically, the mounting frame includes an upper groove profile and two vertical plates spliced ​​at the lower part, so as to reduce the size of the profile required for the mounting frame. Furthermore, the connection between the horizontal plate and the box body 1 and the connection between the mounting plate and the box body 1 are both strengthened by a reinforcing plate 7.

[0061] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with connection holes, and the width of the mounting plate gradually decreases along the direction from the top plate 2 to the bottom plate 3 .

[0062] Furthermore, in order to further improve the heavy-duty bearing capacity between the mounting frame assembly 4 and the box body 1, the transformer oil tank in the embodiment of the utility model also includes a reinforcing plate 7, which is arranged between the mounting frame assembly 4 and the box body 1, and the connection strength is higher.

[0063] In order to fix the heavy components 6 in the box body inside the box body, as one of the preferred implementations, at least two groups of fastening mechanisms 5 in the embodiment of the utility model are provided, and the fastening mechanisms 5 are arranged on the bottom plate 3 at intervals.

[0064] The heavy component 6 in the prior art is wedged in all directions on the inside of the oil tank to achieve restraint and fixation.

In order to further simplify the structure of the oil tank, as one of the preferred implementations, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the fastening mechanism 5 in the embodiment of the utility model includes a first mounting hole, a fastening bolt and a locking nut, wherein the first mounting hole is provided on the bottom plate 3, and a second mounting hole is provided on the heavy component 6, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are used in conjunction with each other, and the fastening bolt passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole and is fixed by the locking nut. The heavy component 6 is fixed by the fastening bolt, and its structure is simpler, and the heavy component 6 is prevented from shaking in the box body.

[0066] Furthermore, for a transformer with cooling oil inside, in order to avoid leakage of cooling oil, as one implementation mode, the fastening mechanism 5 in the embodiment of the utility model further includes: a sealing member arranged on a side of the mounting seat away from the bottom plate 3 and fixedly connected to the mounting seat. The sealing member is fixedly connected to the mounting seat to prevent the risk of cooling oil leakage caused by the fastening bolts penetrating the box body.

[0067] Furthermore, the sealing element is specifically made of rubber material.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to improve the rigidity and strength required for the transformer oil tank to withstand a certain pressure, as one preferred embodiment, the transformer oil tank in the embodiment of the utility model further includes a reinforcing rib structure 8 arranged on the tank body. Specifically, the reinforcing rib structure 8 is arranged around the tank body, and the reinforcing rib structure 8 includes but is not limited to reinforcing ribs or reinforcing plates.

[0070] In the prior art, in large-scale rail design products, aluminum alloys are usually designed with profile structures, which requires the development of special molds, increasing the cost of special molds and the cost of purchasing raw materials for profiles. The high manufacturing cost limits the mass application of products. The structural form of the box edge 91, the base 92, and the mounting frame assembly 4 in the embodiment of the utility model is conducive to reducing the cost of profile mold development and the cost of profile purchase.

[0071] In the above structure, as a more specific implementation, the cross-sections of the box edge 91 and the base 92 in the embodiment of the utility model are specifically U-shaped or L-shaped.
