[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , is a substation device of an embodiment of the utility model, comprising a substation cabin 100, a first cooling module 200, a second cooling module 300 and a blower assembly 400. The substation cabin 100 is provided with a low-pressure chamber 101, a transformer chamber 102 and a return air duct 103, and the low-pressure chamber 101 is connected with the transformer chamber 102 through the return air duct 103; the first cooling module 200 is provided in the substation cabin 100 and used to cool the low-pressure chamber 101; the second cooling module 300 is provided in the substation cabin 100 and used to cool the transformer chamber 102; the blower assembly 400 is provided in the substation cabin 100, and the blower assembly 400 is used to extract air from the low-pressure chamber 101 and discharge it to the transformer chamber 102.

[0035] When the substation is working, the first cooling module 200 cools the low-pressure chamber 101, and the second cooling module 300 cools the transformer chamber 102; when the blowing assembly 400 is started, the cold air in the low-pressure chamber 101 can be blown into the transformer chamber 102, and the hot air in the transformer chamber 102 can be returned to the low-pressure chamber 101 through the return air duct 103, thereby making full use of the cooling capacity of the first cooling module 200 and the second cooling module 300, further reducing the temperature of the transformer chamber 102, so that the temperature of the transformer chamber 102 can be close to equilibrium with the low-pressure chamber 101, and the cooling effect on the low-pressure chamber 101 and the transformer chamber 102 is good.

[0036] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the blower assembly 400 can also be used to extract air from the transformer chamber 102 and discharge it into the low-pressure chamber 101. Subsequently, the air in the low-pressure chamber 101 will flow into the transformer chamber 102 through the return air duct 103 under the action of pressure, and the temperatures of the transformer chamber 102 and the low-pressure chamber 101 can be close to equilibrium, thereby making full use of the cooling capacity of the first cooling module 200 and the second cooling module 300.

[0037] In the embodiment, the transformer compartment 100 includes a compartment body 110 and a partition 120, the compartment body 110 is provided with a containing room, the partition 120 is provided in the compartment body 110 and separates the containing room into a low-pressure room 101 and a transformer compartment 102, the air blowing assembly 400 includes a blower and an exhaust duct 410, the exhaust duct 410 is passed through the partition 120, the exhaust duct 410 is provided with an exhaust air duct, the low-pressure room 101 is connected with the transformer compartment 102 through the exhaust air duct, the blower is provided in the exhaust duct 410 and is used to form a wind flow from the low-pressure room 101 to the transformer compartment 102 in the exhaust air duct. The transformer compartment 100 described above has a compact structure, relatively good safety, and is relatively easy to manufacture, and can quickly blow the cold air of the low-pressure room 101 into the transformer compartment 102, which is conducive to the temperature of the transformer compartment 102 and the low-pressure room 101 being close to equilibrium.

[0038] It is conceivable that the blower assembly 400 can also be other structures. For example, an exhaust port is directly opened on the partition 120. The blower assembly 400 uses a blower, and the blower is arranged at the exhaust port to directly blow the air in the low-pressure chamber 101 into the transformer chamber 102 to achieve a similar function, making full use of the first cooling module 200 and the second cooling module 300, so that the temperature of the low-pressure chamber 101 and the transformer chamber 102 is relatively balanced.

[0039] In the embodiment, a transformer 500 is further included, and the transformer 500 is arranged in the transformer chamber 102. The transformer 500 is provided with an indoor heat exchange part, and the indoor heat exchange part is located in the exhaust air duct. When the transformer device is in a normal working state, the air temperature in the low-pressure chamber 101 is relatively low, and the blower blows the cold air in the low-pressure chamber 101 into the transformer chamber 102 through the exhaust air duct. The cold air can first contact the indoor heat exchange part, and directly air cool the transformer 500. There is a large temperature difference between the cold air and the indoor heat exchanger. Compared with the method in which the second cooling module 300 gradually cools the air temperature of the transformer chamber 102, the large temperature difference can dissipate heat from the indoor heat exchanger more quickly, thereby improving the cooling effect of the transformer 500.

[0040] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the indoor heat exchange unit may also be located at other positions in the transformer chamber 102, and those skilled in the art may configure it specifically according to actual needs.

[0041] Specifically, the indoor heat dissipation part is a heat dissipation copper bar.

[0042] Specifically, a low-voltage switch cabinet 700 is disposed in the low-voltage room 101 .

[0043] In the embodiment, the exhaust duct 410 is arranged at the upper end of the partition 120, and the return air duct 103 is arranged at the lower end of the partition 120. The above structure facilitates the air in the low-pressure chamber 101 and the transformer chamber 102 to form a circulating wind flow, and the wind flow can circulate through most areas of the low-pressure chamber 101 and most areas of the transformer chamber 102, so that the temperature of the low-pressure chamber 101 and the transformer chamber 102 can be better balanced, and the overall cooling effect of the transformer chamber 102 is better.

[0044] It is conceivable that, in other embodiments, the exhaust duct 410 and the return air duct 103 may be located at other positions, for example, the exhaust duct 410 is located at the lower end of the partition 120, and the return air duct 103 is located at the upper end of the partition 120; or the exhaust duct 410 and the return air duct 103 are both located at the upper end of the partition 120; or the exhaust duct 410 and the return air duct 103 are both located at the lower end of the partition 120, etc., and those skilled in the art can make specific configurations according to actual needs.

[0045] Specifically, a return air duct is provided at the lower end of the partition 120, and the return air duct forms the return air duct 103. It is conceivable that a return air port can also be opened on the partition 120, and the return air port forms the return air duct 103.

[0046] It is understandable that the partition 120 may also be provided with a flow hole, a part of the flow hole forms the exhaust air duct, and another part of the flow hole forms the return air duct 103.

[0047] In the embodiment, the volume of the low-pressure chamber 101 is smaller than the volume of the transformer chamber 102. The above structure enables the first cooling module 200 to cool the air in the low-pressure chamber 101 better, accelerates the cooling speed of the air in the low-pressure chamber 101, and makes the air temperature lower when it is blown into the transformer chamber 102 through the first air outlet, and the temperature difference between the air and the indoor heat exchanger can be larger, thereby improving the cooling effect on the transformer 500.

[0048] In the embodiment, the cabin body 110 includes a bottom shell 111 and a cover plate 112. The upper end of the bottom shell 111 is provided with an opening. The cover plate 112 is detachably provided above the bottom shell 111 and covers the opening. The bottom shell 111 and the cover plate 112 enclose a storage chamber. In the above structure, when the cover plate 112 is disassembled, it is convenient to put the transformer 500, the low-voltage switch cabinet 700 and other equipment into or out of the transformer cabin 100, and it is convenient to replace and maintain the equipment inside the transformer cabin 100; when the cover plate 112 is installed on the bottom shell 111, the transformer cabin 100 can be used normally, and the low-voltage chamber 101 and the transformer chamber 102 are isolated from the exchange of air outside the transformer cabin 100, so as to prevent the corrosion of the equipment inside the low-voltage chamber 101 and the transformer chamber 102 by the external air.

[0049] Specifically, the opening periphery of the bottom shell 111 is convex upward, so that when rain drops on the transformer compartment 100 , the rain cannot flow through the opening of the bottom shell 111 into the inside of the transformer compartment 100 .

[0050] Specifically, the cover plate 112 is detachably mounted on the bottom shell 111 by screwing. It is conceivable that the cover plate 112 can also be detachably mounted on the bottom shell 111 by snapping or magnetic fixing.

[0051] In the embodiment, an oil-air cooler 600 is further included, and the oil-air cooler 600 is arranged outside the transformer compartment 100. The transformer 500 is an oil-immersed transformer 500, and the transformer 500 is connected to the oil-air cooler 600 through a refrigerant pipeline. Part of the heat generated by the transformer 500 is transported to the oil-air cooler 600 by the cooling oil through the refrigerant pipeline for heat dissipation, and the other part of the heat is dissipated through the first cooling module 200 and the second cooling module 300. The heat dissipation effect is relatively stable, and the air temperature of the transformer chamber 102 and the low-pressure chamber 101 is relatively reasonable.

[0052] In the embodiment, an oil storage chamber is provided at the bottom of the transformer compartment 100, a recovery hole 104 is provided at the bottom wall of the transformer chamber 102, the oil storage chamber is located below the transformer chamber 102, the oil storage chamber is connected to the transformer chamber 102 through the recovery hole 104, and an oil drain assembly is provided in the oil storage chamber. Since the transformer 500 is an oil-immersed transformer 500, a small amount of cooling oil will leak to the bottom wall of the transformer chamber 102 during use. In order to avoid environmental pollution caused by leakage of cooling oil, the recovery hole 104 and the oil storage chamber are provided, and the cooling oil on the bottom wall of the transformer chamber 102 can enter the oil storage chamber through the recovery hole 104 for recovery and storage. When the recovered cooling oil is large, the oil drain assembly can discharge the cooling oil in the oil storage chamber.

[0053] Specifically, the bottom wall of the transformer chamber 102 is provided with a plurality of recovery holes 104, which are mainly located below the oil-cooled transformer 500, so as to achieve a better recovery effect on the leaked cooling oil. The oil drain assembly is an oil drain hole and an oil drain valve, which is arranged at the oil drain hole. When the oil drain valve is opened, the cooling oil can be discharged from the oil storage chamber.

[0054] In the embodiment, the first cooling module 200 includes two integrated air conditioners, and the second cooling module 300 includes two integrated air conditioners. The first cooling module 200 includes two integrated air conditioners, which can have a good cooling effect on the low-pressure chamber 101; the second cooling module 300 is provided with two integrated air conditioners, which can have a good cooling effect on the transformer chamber 102; and the internal and external units of the integrated air conditioners are independently circulated, which can prevent the outside air from corroding the inside of the transformer chamber 100, and the cooling effect is good.

[0055] It is conceivable that in other implementations, the first cooling module 200 may include one, two or more integrated air conditioners, and the second cooling module 300 may include one, two or more integrated air conditioners. Those skilled in the art may make specific configurations according to actual needs.

[0056] It is understandable that the first cooling module 200 may also adopt a split-type air conditioner, and the second cooling module 300 may also adopt a split-type air conditioner.

[0057] Specifically, since the heat generated by the low-voltage switch cabinet 700 is lower than that of the transformer 500 , the overall cooling capacity of the first cooling module 200 is lower than that of the second cooling module 300 , thereby saving the production cost of the transformer.

[0058] Specifically, the cabin body 110 is made by welding a sound-absorbing mesh plate on the inner layer of a corrugated plate, and filling fire-proof rock wool between the sound-absorbing mesh plate and the corrugated plate, and has good strength, noise reduction and fire-proof effects.

[0059] The utility model also discloses an offshore wind power station, which adopts the above-mentioned power conversion device. Due to the adoption of the above-mentioned power conversion device, the offshore wind power station has a longer service life and can reduce the maintenance frequency.

[0060] Specifically, the offshore wind power station has a wind turbine tower, which is electrically connected to the transformer through a cable, and a wind turbine generator set can be installed above the wind turbine tower.
