DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] First embodiment:

[0025] Reference Figure 2 , which is an explosion-proof optimization design of a transformer oil tank edge structure disclosed in the first embodiment of the present invention, comprising an edge 1, an oil tank top cover 2 and a reinforcing rib 3; the edge 1 comprises a horizontal portion 11 and a vertical portion 12, the top of the vertical portion 12 is connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal portion 11, the horizontal portion 11 and the vertical portion 12 are integrally formed, and the end of the vertical portion 12 away from the horizontal portion 11 is butt-welded to the tank side wall 5 of the transformer oil tank, the oil tank top cover 2 is inserted into the horizontal portion 11, the oil tank top cover 2 and the horizontal portion 11 are butt-welded, and a reinforcing rib 3 is arranged at the welding position of the oil tank top cover 2 and the horizontal portion 11, one end of the reinforcing rib 3 is butt-welded to the top surface of the oil tank top cover 2, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 3 is butt-welded to the edge 1; such a configuration reduces the number of welds and shifts the weld position to improve the stress state of the weld, and with the reinforcement rib 3 at the weld, the explosion-proof performance of the transformer oil tank edge 1 structure can be greatly improved, and the arc fault defense capability of the transformer oil tank can be improved.

[0026] Specifically, one end of the vertical portion 12 away from the horizontal portion 11 is butt-welded to the tank side wall 5 of the transformer oil tank by using variable thickness plane.

[0027] The tank edge 1 is made of structural steel with a corner structure, such as I-beam, T-beam, H-beam, L-beam, etc. The structure of the transformer oil tank tank edge 1 can be made by the structural steel bending forming process, so that the horizontal part 11 and the vertical part 12 are an integral part. This arrangement avoids T-shaped welds, and the explosion-proof performance of the complete structure is much higher than that of the split-welded structure, thereby improving the explosion-proof performance of the transformer oil tank tank edge 1 structure.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the transformer oil tank edge structure can be formed by integral bending, so that only one weld seam is used to close the tank edge 1. The transformer oil tank edge 1 structure can also be decomposed into Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the bending corners are processed separately, and the straight sections are still made of structural steel. The small sections are connected by butt welding to form a closed structure.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, a sinking platform is provided on the top surface of the horizontal portion 11, and the sinking platform is matched with the fuel tank top cover 2.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the strengthening unit 4 includes a vertical strengthening plate 41 and a horizontal strengthening plate 42. One end of the horizontal strengthening plate 42 is butt-welded to the side surface of the vertical part 12, the bottom end of the vertical strengthening plate 41 is butt-welded to the top surface of the horizontal strengthening plate 42, and the top end of the vertical strengthening plate 41 is butt-welded to the bottom surface of the horizontal part 11.

[0035] Specifically, the extending direction of the vertical strengthening plate 41 is parallel to the extending direction of the vertical part 12, and the extending direction of the horizontal strengthening plate 42 is parallel to the extending direction of the horizontal part 11.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sealing groove 311 for installing a seal 111 is provided on the bottom surface of the sunken platform.
