[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present invention accordingly.

[0039] On the basis described above, the present invention also has the following implementation manners:

[0040] In a further embodiment of the present invention, when the heat conducting member 8 is preferably in a C-shaped structure, a notch portion is formed on the C-shaped structure, and the inner contour of the notch portion is preferably smaller than the radial outer contour of the conductor 6.

[0042] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the rigidity of the buckle structure 11 is greater than that of the heat conducting member 8, so that during the installation process of the buckle structure 11, both ends of the buckle structure 11 will apply a certain squeezing force to move the two ends of the notch portion of the heat conducting member 8 inwards, so that the arc inner surface of the C-shaped structure still completely fits on the outer wall of the conductor 6.

[0043] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the buckle structure 11 is made of an insulating material.

[0044] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the buckle structure 11 includes: an upper buckle portion, a connecting portion and a lower buckle portion, and the upper end and the lower end of the connecting portion are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper buckle portion and the lower buckle portion respectively.

The additional space is formed inside the card slot 12. The additional space allows the card head 13 to be kept inside the card slot 12 while allowing the card head 13 to undergo a certain tangential movement to adapt to the deformation of the conductor 6.

[0055] In a further embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: a bracket 15, and both the cooling device 3 and the temperature detection device 4 are arranged on the bracket 15.

[0059] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the heat conducting member 8 is fixedly connected to the bracket 15, and the heat conducting member 8 extends radially outward relative to the bracket 15.

[0060] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the heat conducting member 8 and the bracket 15 are preferably of an integral structure.

[0061] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a heat exchange surface is formed on one side of the bracket 15 close to the transformer body 5, and the heat exchange surface is connected to the outer wall of the transformer body 5 to simultaneously cool the transformer body 5.

[0062] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a groove is provided along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the transformer body 5, and an additional heat exchange tube is provided.

[0064] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a control panel is provided on the outer side of the medium-voltage switchgear body 1, and the control panel is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0065] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present invention.
