[0029] A rotating adjustment ring 421 is arranged on the surface of the metal hoop 2 which limits the position of the iron core 3 inside the transformer body 1, and a slidable adjustment rod 422 is arranged inside the adjustment ring 421. The adjustment rod 422 can drive one of the contact blocks 423 to slide, thereby changing the distance between the two contact blocks 423, thereby squeezing the iron core 3, changing the width of a single iron core 3, and thereby changing the distance between the two iron cores 3, thereby changing the width of the air gap between the iron cores 3, and thereby increasing the original air gap according to the needs of the railway, making it less likely to produce saturation under large electrification pulse currents, thereby solving the "flashing red" problem on the railway.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] The main difference from the first embodiment is:

[0032] A choke transformer for railways, wherein a limit assembly 43 includes an elastic rod 431 that rotates with the inside of a transformer body 1, one end of the elastic rod 431 is fixed to the inside of the transformer body 1, the upper width of the elastic rod 431 is relatively large, a limit groove 432 is provided on the surface of an operating shaft 411, and the shape of the limit groove 432 corresponds to the shape of the upper side of the elastic rod 431, a sliding assembly 44 includes a sliding ring 441 fixed on the surface of an adjusting rod 422, a sliding groove 442 is provided inside the adjusting ring 421, and the surface of the sliding ring 441 slides with the inner surface of the sliding groove 442, and a moving assembly 45 includes a moving rod 451 fixed on the surface of a metal hoop 2, and a moving rod 452 is provided inside the adjusting rod 422.

[0033] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] During operation, when it is necessary to adjust the air gap between the iron cores 3 inside the choke transformer, the operating shaft 411 on one side can be selectively adjusted. First, the elastic rod 431 is pushed toward the outside of the operating shaft 411 to disengage the surface of the elastic rod 431 from the inner surface of the limiting groove 432, and then the operating shaft 411 is rotated. The rotation of the operating shaft 411 will cause the adjustment ring 421 to rotate. During the rotation of the adjustment ring 421, the change in the edge position can drive the adjustment rod 422 to slide and change its position inside the transformer body 1. The position of the adjustment rod 422 changes the position of the contact block 423, and the distance between the two contact blocks 423 changes, which in turn squeezes the iron core 3, causing the width between the iron cores 3 to change, thereby increasing or decreasing the distance of the air gap between the iron cores 3.
