[0002] To withstand the harsh offshore climate, offshore wind turbine dry-type transformers require their coils to be protected within a highly corrosion-resistant casing. During operation, the coils and core generate significant heat, which can be severely damaged if not dissipated promptly. To address this, a heat sink is installed on the casing, along with a deflector assembly inside. Furthermore, an outer insulation barrel is placed around each coil. This deflector assembly directs more cooling air into the coils, removing heat and improving heat dissipation efficiency. Conventional offshore wind turbine dry-type transformers feature a complete cylindrical outer insulation barrel that completely encloses the entire coil and its external bosses for connecting to the conductive rods. This results in a relatively large outer insulation barrel. Furthermore, during transformer assembly, multiple coils are typically mounted on a base, then the outer insulation barrel is hoisted and inserted into the coils from above. Finally, a top bracket is attached to the top of the coils to secure the coils together. This requires hoisting, making installation inconvenient. Furthermore, maintenance requires removing the brackets and other components on the coils' upper sides before the outer insulation barrel can be lifted out, making it difficult to repair.

[0029] Reference Figure 1According to an embodiment of the present invention, an offshore wind power dry-type transformer with an outer insulating cylinder that is easy to disassemble and assemble comprises a base 100, at least three coils 200 and a fixing seat 300. The lower ends of all coils 200 are mounted on the base 100. Each base 100 is sleeved with an outer insulating cylinder 400. The coil 200 is provided with an external boss 210. The fixing seat 300 is located on the upper side of the coil 200 and is fixedly connected to all coils 200. In each outer insulating cylinder 400, the outer insulating cylinder 400 comprises a first half-cylinder 400a and a second half-cylinder 400b. The first half-cylinder 400a is provided with a second half-cylinder 400b. 00a and the second half-cylinder 400b are enclosed to form an accommodating hole 410 for accommodating the corresponding coil 200. The opposite edges of the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b are detachably connected through a connecting piece 500. A first avoidance groove 421 is provided on the edge of the first half-cylinder 400a relative to the second half-cylinder 400b, and a second avoidance groove 422 is provided on the edge of the second half-cylinder 400b relative to the first half-cylinder 400a. The first avoidance groove 421 and the second avoidance groove 422 are connected to form an avoidance hole 420, and the external boss 210 is passed through the corresponding avoidance hole 420.
[0030] In the offshore wind power dry-type transformer provided by the present invention, the outer insulating cylinder 400 is divided into a first half cylinder 400a and a second half cylinder 400b, and the first half cylinder 400a and the second half cylinder 400b are detachably connected. A avoidance hole 420 for inserting the external boss 210 of the coil 200 is provided between the first half cylinder 400a and the second half cylinder 400b. Therefore, during assembly, the outer insulating cylinder 400 can be assembled by manual handling, and the first half cylinder 400a and the second half cylinder 400b are connected by the connecting piece 500. b are connected together. After the assembly is completed, the external boss 210 on the coil 200 is inserted into the avoidance hole 420, which does not affect the connection between the external bosses 210 of the two adjacent coils 200 and the conductive rod 700, thereby improving production efficiency and making the design more humane. When the outer insulating cylinder 400 is subsequently replaced and repaired, the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b can be replaced and disassembled without disassembling the fixing seat 300, reducing the operation of hoisting the fixing seat 300 and the outer insulating cylinder 400, making it more convenient to disassemble and repair the outer insulating cylinder 400, and less aerial work, and safer construction.
[0031] Compared with the solution in the prior art in which the outer insulating cylinder 400 integrally covers the coil 200 and its external boss 210, the outer insulating cylinder 400 in the utility model is provided with an avoidance hole 420 for the external boss 210 of the coil 200 to pass through. As a result, the overall outer diameter of the outer insulating cylinder 400 is smaller, which is conducive to reducing the distance between two adjacent coils 200, thereby reducing no-load loss, improving transformer efficiency, reducing transformer weight and size, and being suitable for installation in increasingly smaller towers, which is in line with industry development trends.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, in each outer insulating tube 400, the upper and lower ends of the opposite edges of the first half-cylinder member 400a and the second half-cylinder member 400b are detachably connected by a connecting member 500 to firmly install the first half-cylinder member 400a and the second half-cylinder member 400b together to form the outer insulating tube 400.
[0033] Reference Figures 2 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting member 500 is connected to the corresponding edge of the first half-cylinder member 400a by bolts, and the connecting member 500 is connected to the corresponding edge of the second half-cylinder member 400b by bolts. In this way, it can ensure that the connection between the first half-cylinder member 400a and the second half-cylinder member 400b is reliable, and the first half-cylinder member 400a and the second half-cylinder member 400b can be detachable.
[0034] It should be noted that the above-mentioned connecting member 500 can also be connected to the first half-cylinder member 400a or the second half-cylinder member 400b in other ways. For example, the connecting member 500 and the first half-cylinder member 400a can be connected together by snap fastening.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a connector 500 is provided with a clamping portion 510 at one end, and a first limiting groove 520 is provided within the clamping portion 510. The first limiting groove 520 is arc-shaped. In each outer insulating tube 400, the first half-tube member 400a and the second half-tube member 400b are inserted into the first limiting groove 520. During the process of connecting the first half-tube member 400a and the second half-tube member 400b, the limiting groove can limit the position of the first half-tube member 400a and the second half-tube member 400b, allowing a worker to manually adjust and fix the position of the connector 500, making it easier to align the threaded holes on the connector 500 with the holes for mounting bolts on the first half-tube member 400a and the second half-tube member 400b, thereby facilitating bolt installation. The connector 500, located at the upper end of the outer insulating tube 400, can be hung on the outer insulating tube 400 via the limiting groove, preventing the connector 500 from falling during the process of removing and installing the bolts.
[0036] Reference Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the first half-cylinder 400a and the cross-sectional shape of the second half-cylinder 400b are semicircular arcs, thereby forming a circular outer insulating tube 400, which is beneficial for controlling the volume of the outer insulating tube 400 and has a better appearance.
[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, the first half-cylinder member 400a and the second half-cylinder member 400b may also be configured to have other shapes, such as an elliptical shape.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a first spacer 610 is disposed between the base 100 and each coil 200. The first spacer 610 defines a second limiting groove 611. The lower end of the outer insulating tube 400 is inserted into the second limiting groove 611. The second limiting groove 611 is located on the removable sidewall of the outer insulating tube 400. This arrangement allows the second limiting groove 611 to position and support the lower end of the first half-cylinder 400a and the lower end of the second half-cylinder 400b. To remove the outer insulating tube 400, the sidewall outside the second limiting groove 611 can be removed first. After removing the connector 500, the first and second half-cylinders 400a and 400b can then be easily removed.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second spacer 620 is disposed between the fixing base 300 and each coil 200. The second spacer 620 is provided with a third limiting groove 621. The upper end of the outer insulating tube 400 is inserted into the third limiting groove 621. The second limiting groove 611 is located on the outer side wall of the outer insulating tube 400 and is removable. With this arrangement, the upper end of the first half-cylinder 400a and the upper end of the second half-cylinder 400b can be positioned by the third limiting groove 621. When the outer insulating tube 400 needs to be removed, the outer side wall of the third limiting groove 621 and the outer side wall of the second limiting groove 611 can be removed first. Then, after removing the connector 500, the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b can be easily removed.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2According to some embodiments of the present invention, four first pads 610 are arranged between the base 100 and each coil 200, and the first pads 610 are provided with second limiting grooves 611. In each outer insulating tube 400, the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b are elastic, and the front and rear ends of the lower edge of the first half-cylinder 400a and the front and rear ends of the lower edge of the second half-cylinder 400b are inserted into the second limiting grooves 611 of the corresponding four first pads 610 one by one. Through the above arrangement, the lower end of the first half-cylinder 400a and the lower end of the second half-cylinder 400b can be positioned and supported by the second limiting groove 611. When the outer insulating tube 400 needs to be removed, since the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b are elastic, the connecting member 500 can be removed first, and then the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b can be directly pulled out with a certain amount of effort. When reinstalling the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b, the front and rear ends of the lower edges of the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b can be inserted into the corresponding second limiting grooves 611.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, four second spacers 620 are disposed between the fixing base 300 and each coil 200. The second spacers 620 are provided with third limiting slots 621. In each outer insulating tube 400, the front and rear ends of the upper edge of the first half-cylinder 400a and the front and rear ends of the upper edge of the second half-cylinder 400b are correspondingly inserted into the third limiting slots 621 of the four second spacers 620. This arrangement allows the upper ends of the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b to be positioned via the third limiting slots 621. Furthermore, because the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b are elastic, the second spacers 620 do not prevent the first half-cylinder 400a and the second half-cylinder 400b from being unable to be assembled or disassembled.
[0042] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0043] The embodiment is described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the present invention.
