[0002] Traction transformers, which utilize the principle of electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy or transmit signals from one circuit to another, are crucial electrical devices for these functions. For rail vehicles, traction transformers are one of the most critical pieces of equipment and the core of the entire electric traction system, ensuring the stable operation of locomotives, EMUs, urban rail transit, and high-speed trains. For the past century, traction transformers have been a common component of railway traction and considered the best alternative to traditional fuel-powered traction systems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustration and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the same reference numerals represent the same elements throughout the embodiments.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides an energy-saving traction transformer, comprising a chassis 1. The chassis 1 is a rectangular box, with a bracket 3 fixedly connected to one side of the chassis 1. An oil conservator 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket 3. An oil supply pipe is provided at the bottom of the oil conservator 4, connecting to the chassis 1. A reclosable regulating valve is installed on the oil supply pipe. A solar panel 7 is fixedly connected to the top cover of the oil conservator 4.

[0021] As a further explanation of this embodiment, by opening the regulating valve on the oil supply pipe, the cooling oil stored in the oil storage cabinet 4 can be input into the chassis 1 to replenish the cooling oil lost in the chassis 1. The regulating valve is an electric valve and is powered by the solar panel 7.

[0022] A high-voltage winding 5 and a low-voltage winding 6 are provided on the top of the chassis 1 . The high-voltage winding 5 and the low-voltage winding 6 pass through the top of the chassis 1 and are connected to the transformer winding inside the chassis 1 .

[0023] Two opposite sides of the chassis 1 are respectively fixedly connected with a radiator group 2, and the radiator group 2 is composed of a plurality of radiating fins arranged and combined.

[0024] The bottom of the chassis 1 is provided with a mounting groove 8, which is a rectangular groove structure. The four corners of the bottom of the mounting groove 8 are provided with a base 10, which is cylindrical. The top outer edge of the base 10 is provided with a sealing groove 100, and a sealing ring 11 is installed in the sealing groove 100.

[0025] A coolant inlet pipe 9 is provided at the center of the base 10. The coolant inlet pipe 9 passes through the bottom of the chassis 1. The end of the coolant inlet pipe 9 away from the chassis 1 is connected to the outlet pipe at the bottom of the radiator assembly 2. An oil pump 19 is provided at the connection between the coolant inlet pipe 9 and the outlet pipe. The oil pump 19 is powered by the solar panel 7.

[0026] A mounting plate 12 is provided on the top of the base 10. The mounting plate 12 is engaged in the mounting slot 8. The four corners of the bottom of the mounting plate 12 abut against the tops of the support columns 14. Vertical support columns 14 are provided at the four corners of the top of the mounting plate 12. The tops of the support columns 14 abut against the bottom of the upper cover of the chassis 1.

[0027] As a further explanation of this embodiment, a number of transformer components such as high-voltage windings 5 ​​and low-voltage windings 6 need to be fixed on the upper cover plate, and the support columns 14 can further reinforce the upper cover plate to prevent it from deformation.

[0028] The support column 14 is shaped like a quadrangular prism with one end chamfered. A cooling liquid channel 140 is provided inside the support column 14. The top of the cooling liquid channel 140 is sealed, and the bottom of the cooling liquid channel 140 is open vertically downward. The cooling liquid inlet pipe 9 is inserted into the cooling liquid channel 140 of the support column 14. The outer wall of the cooling liquid inlet pipe 9 is sealed against the inner wall of the cooling liquid channel 140, and the two are sealed and connected. A plurality of liquid outlet holes 141 are provided on both sides of the support column 14 adjacent to the chamfered area. The liquid outlet holes 141 are connected to the cooling liquid inlet pipe 9, and the plurality of liquid outlet holes 141 are arranged in an array along the vertical direction of the support column 14.

[0029] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the coolant in the radiator can enter the coolant channel 140 in the middle of the support column 14 through the coolant inlet pipe 9 and be discharged from the liquid outlet 141.

[0030] Two venturi tubes 13 are respectively provided between the two support columns 14 along the long side direction of the mounting plate 12 , and the bottom of the venturi tube 13 is also connected to the cooling liquid inlet pipe 9 .

[0031] A heightening plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 12 . The heightening plate 15 is arranged in a direction parallel to the long side of the rectangle and is located between the support columns 14 .

[0032] A lower mounting plate 16 is mounted on top of the raised plate 15. This plate 16 comprises two side panels, with a support beam 17 positioned between them. Fixing plates 18 are fixedly attached to the lower sides of the panels on either side. These L-shaped panels have mounting holes that allow bolts to secure the lower mounting plate 16 to the raised plate 15.

[0033] As a further explanation of this embodiment, lower mounting plate 16 is used to support and clamp the transformer windings and is fixed to the bottom of the transformer windings. An upper mounting plate is also provided above chassis 1. This upper mounting plate has the same structure as lower mounting plate 16 and is not fixed to the upper portion of the transformer windings, further tightening the transformer windings. The transformer windings are conventional transformer components and are not shown.

[0034] A guide protrusion 20 is provided at the bottom of the upper cover plate of the chassis 1. The middle part of the guide protrusion 20 is downwardly convex, and the two sides of the guide protrusion 20 are arranged in an upward arc shape. The two ends of the guide protrusion 20 are flush with the top of the liquid outlet pipe 21 opened on the upper part of the two sides of the chassis 1.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this embodiment are as follows: When the energy-saving traction transformer is running, the solar panel 7 supplies power to the oil pump 19 at the coolant inlet pipe 9. The oil pump 19 pushes the coolant in the radiator into the support column 14 through the coolant inlet pipe 9. The coolant moves upward along the coolant channel 140 in the support column 14 and is then discharged from the liquid outlet 141 on the support column 14. The coolant is preferentially discharged to the surrounding areas of the transformer winding in the chassis 1 to cool the transformer winding.

[0036] At the same time, the Venturi tube 13 on the mounting plate 12 also sprays out cold liquid synchronously, and the hot liquid itself floats upward. The high-speed liquid sprayed out by the Venturi tube 13 further pushes the surrounding of the transformer winding, and the heated liquid moves upward. The hot liquid moves upward and collides with the top guide protrusion 20, and moves to both sides along the guide protrusion 20. It is discharged into the radiator through the liquid outlet pipes 21 on both sides of the top of the chassis 1, and is cooled by the radiator. After cooling, it enters the chassis 1 again to cool the transformer winding.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation measures. All technical solutions based on the principles of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, various improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
