[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by “center”, “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0021] A compact and lightweight traction transformer external structure, such as Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the traction transformer body 1 is installed on the lower part of the vehicle body in a suspended style; the transformer oil tank 3 and the cooling unit 2 are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction; the terminal box 4 is arranged on the outside of the transformer oil tank 3; and a weight reduction structure 3-2 is provided at the bottom of the transformer oil tank 3.

[0022] Specifically, the traction transformer body 1 is mounted on the lower part of the vehicle body in a suspended manner; the transformer oil tank 3 and the cooling unit 2 are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction; the terminal box 4 is located outside the transformer oil tank 3; and a weight-reducing structure 3-2 is provided at the bottom of the transformer oil tank 3. This structure fully utilizes the vehicle body width, allowing the cooling unit 2 to be installed in the vehicle width direction, reducing the space occupied by the transformer in the vehicle length direction. Simultaneously, the positioning of the transformer oil tank 3 and the traction transformer terminal box 4 significantly reduces the weight of the traction transformer while ensuring structural strength. Furthermore, while maintaining performance, the traction transformer's external structure is more compact, occupies less space, and has a lighter overall weight. Furthermore, the weight-reducing structure 3-2 provided at the bottom of the transformer oil tank 3 has been verified by finite element calculations and vibration tests to show that this transformer oil tank 3 has better structural strength than a traditional rectangular parallelepiped design, while also reducing the volume of the internal cavity and providing a better fit with the body, thereby achieving the goal of weight reduction.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the above, Figure 1 As shown, the cooling unit 2 is fixed between two hangers 3 - 1 of the transformer oil tank 3 by bolts.

[0024] Specifically, the cooling unit 2 is fixed between the two hangers 3-1 of the transformer oil tank 3 by bolts, so that the overall structure of the device is more compact, occupies less space, and has a lighter overall weight. The cooling unit 2 can be used as a reinforcing rib to play a reinforcing role.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the above, Figure 1 As shown, the terminal box 4 is connected to the transformer oil tank 3 by bolts.

[0026] Specifically, the terminal box 4 is connected to the transformer oil tank 3 by bolts, so that the external structure of the traction transformer is more compact, occupies less space, and has a lighter overall weight while being used for special position distribution while maintaining unchanged performance. At the same time, it can be directly and conveniently installed and disassembled.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the above, Figure 1 As shown, the terminal box 4 adopts an all-aluminum structure.

[0028] Specifically, by adopting an all-aluminum structure and positioning the terminal box 4 , and verifying through finite element calculation and vibration tests, the terminal box 4 not only has sufficient mechanical structural strength, but also can achieve a 50% weight reduction compared to traditional structures.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the above, Figure 1As shown, the cooling unit 2 adopts an all-aluminum structure.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the above, Figure 1 As shown, the main plate material selected for the transformer oil tank 3 is a 5 mm thick steel plate.

[0031] Specifically, the main plate selected for the transformer oil tank 3 is a 5 mm thick steel plate, and Q345E steel plate can be further selected to ensure better effect. The heterogeneous structure of the oil tank is more consistent with the body of the device. Under the premise of meeting the insulation requirements, less grease is required inside the oil tank, thereby achieving the purpose of weight reduction.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the above, Figure 4 As shown, a weight-reducing arrangement 4 - 1 is provided at the bottom of the terminal box 4 .

[0033] Specifically, by providing a weight-reducing arrangement 4 - 1 structure at the bottom of the terminal box 4 , the weight-reducing effect of the terminal box 4 is further improved.

[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention.
