[0036] In the prior art, the insulation structure of the coil winding of the transformer is usually wound outside the coil winding by polyimide tape, and the fixing of the iron core usually needs to bond epoxy resin glue between the iron cores to fix it. For the transformer used on the offshore platform, due to the influence of the use environment, the polyimide tape and the epoxy resin have the risk of dissolution in the environment of the transformer oil for a long time. Once the dissolution of the two materials occurs, it will cause the insulation failure between the windings. At the same time, the dissolution of the two materials in the transformer oil will cause the pollution of the transformer oil, affecting the normal use of the transformer.

[0037] In summary, an embodiment of the present application proposes a transformer for an offshore platform, referring to Figs. 1 to 3 , comprising:

[0038] A skeleton 1, a through hole 11 is opened along the axial direction of the skeleton 1;

[0039] A coil winding 2, the coil winding 2 is wound outside the skeleton 1;

[0040] A magnetic core 3, provided as two, any magnetic core 3 includes a plug-in part 31 and a main body frame 32, the plug-in parts 31 of the two magnetic cores 3 are respectively inserted along the two ends of the through hole 11, and the main body frames 32 of the two magnetic cores 3 are mutually butted to form a rectangular frame;

[0041] NOMEX paper 4, wound outside the coil winding 2, the NOMEX paper 4 is filled between the coil winding 2 and the main body frame 32, and the NOMEX paper 4 and the inner side of the main body frame 32 abut;

[0042] A fixing clamp 5 is installed outside the two magnetic cores 3, and the fixing frame is used for clamping the two magnetic cores 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the assembly structure of the existing transformer is improved. Specifically, the wire winding is first wound on the bobbin 1, and then MOMEX paper is wound around the outside of the coil winding 2 to insulate and fix the coil winding 2. After the MOMEX paper is wound, the plug-in portions 31 of the two magnetic cores 3 are respectively inserted into the two ends of the insertion hole 11 of the bobbin 1. At this time, the main frames 32 of the two magnetic cores 3 are connected to each other to form a rectangular frame structure. It should be noted that the coil winding 2 and the MOMEX paper are located inside the rectangular frame. Therefore, in this embodiment, with the help of this rectangular frame structure, the number of winding turns of the MOMEX paper is controlled when the MOMEX paper is wound. After the magnetic core 3 is inserted into the bobbin 1, the MOMEX paper is tightly abutted against the inner side surface of the main frame 32 of the magnetic core 3. That is, the MOMEX paper is clamped to the outside of the coil winding 2 by the structure of the main frame 32 of the magnetic core 3, ensuring the stability of the structure. There is no need to use adhesive to fix the MOMEX paper, avoiding the risk of the adhesive dissolving in the transformer oil. At the same time, in this embodiment, the MOMEX paper adopts DuPont's NOMEX paper 4 in the prior art, which is a high-performance synthetic material with high mechanical properties, flexibility and good electrical properties. It will not dissolve in transformer oil even under long-term operation, and can effectively improve the safety and service life of the transformer.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixation between the two magnetic cores 3 eliminates the traditional method of fixing by epoxy resin glue, avoiding the dissolution of epoxy resin glue in the transformer oil, and the fixation between the magnetic cores 3 is achieved by improving the structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, a fixing clip 5 is provided. After the two magnetic cores 3 are respectively inserted into the two ends of the socket 11 of the skeleton 1, the two magnetic cores 3 are clamped with the fixing clip 5, so that the joints of the two magnetic cores 3 can fit tightly to ensure the stability of the structure.

[0045] Furthermore, the fixing clamp 5 includes a main plate 51 and clamping plates 52 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main plate 51. The two clamping plates 52 respectively clamp the outer sides of the two magnetic cores 3. In this embodiment, the fixing clamp 5 is configured as a U-shaped integrated structure. During installation, the two clamping plates 52 of the fixing clamp 5 only need to be inserted from the ends of the two magnetic cores 3 to clamp the two magnetic cores 3. This facilitates installation and removal and improves assembly efficiency.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to enhance the clamping force between the two clamps 52, the two clamps 52 are tilted toward the inner side of the fixing clamp 5 so that the clamps 52 can be tightly clamped on the outer sides of the two magnetic cores 3 to ensure the stability of the structure. In addition, the outer sides of the magnetic cores 3 for fitting the clamps 52 are provided with grooves 33 that abut against the ends of the clamps 52. It should be noted that although the tilting of the two clamps 52 can enhance the clamping force, the outer sides of the existing magnetic cores 3 for fitting the clamps 52 are flat. When the clamps 52 are tilted, the contact surface between the clamps 52 and the outer sides of the magnetic cores 3 is reduced. Therefore, in this embodiment, the grooves 33 are provided on the outer sides of the magnetic cores 3. This provides a tilting margin for the clamps 52, allowing most of the surface of the clamps 52 to fit with the magnetic cores 3, thereby increasing the contact area between the two, thereby further enhancing the clamping force and ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0047] Furthermore, the main plate 51 is attached to one side of the rectangular frame and covers the opening on one side of the rectangular frame. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the main plate 51 is larger than the opening of the rectangular frame. When the fixing clamp 5 is in place, the main plate 51 fits tightly against the side of the rectangular frame, ensuring structural stability while enclosing the winding coil within the rectangular frame, providing some protection for the coil and extending the service life of the transformer.

[0048] Furthermore, two annular baffles 12 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the frame 1, and a winding space for winding the coil winding 2 is formed between the two annular baffles 12. In this embodiment, after the two annular baffles 12 are provided at both ends of the frame 1, the winding space formed can facilitate the winding of the coil winding 2, position the winding of the coil winding 2, and confine it within the winding space, thereby preventing the coil winding 2 from falling off and ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0049] Furthermore, a number of terminals 13 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the skeleton 1, and the terminals 13 are integrally formed with the skeleton 1. In this embodiment, the skeleton 1 is made of bakelite, which is a thermosetting material with high stability and is not easily deformed due to changes in temperature or humidity. This stability ensures that the transformer skeleton 1 can maintain its original shape and size during long-term use, thereby ensuring the performance and reliability of the transformer; at the same time, it also has excellent insulation performance, and its voltage resistance can usually reach about 10KV / mm. This insulation ensures that the transformer skeleton 1 can work safely in a high-voltage environment and prevent problems such as current leakage or short circuit. In this embodiment, the terminals 13 are assembled during the skeleton 1 manufacturing process, and the terminals 13 are directly integrally formed with the skeleton 1, which has high production efficiency, low cost, and a more stable structure, reducing the subsequent assembly of the terminals 13.

[0050] Furthermore, an insulating paper 6 is provided between the magnetic core 3 and the terminal 13. The insulating paper 6 is arranged in a ring-shaped structure, and the two annular baffles 12 are plugged into the insulating paper 6. In this embodiment, the insulating paper 6 provides electrical isolation between the magnetic core 3 and the terminal 13, preventing current from flowing directly between the two components, helping to prevent short circuits and current leakage, thereby protecting the safe operation of circuits and equipment. At the same time, the insulating paper 6 has a ring-shaped structure. During installation, the hollow structure in the middle can be directly passed through the magnetic core 3, making installation convenient.

[0051] Furthermore, the magnetic core 3 is configured as a one-piece ferrite structure. Ferrite materials perform well in high-frequency applications, with high magnetic permeability and low core 3 losses. At the same time, they can effectively concentrate and conduct magnetic fields, meaning they can achieve the same performance in a smaller volume, helping to reduce the size of inductors or transformers while maintaining or improving performance.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixing clamp 5 is configured as an integrally molded structure made of SUS-301 stainless steel. SUS-301 stainless steel has excellent elasticity, which means that the fixing clamp 5 can maintain a stable clamping force during use and is not easily deformed or loosened. At the same time, SUS-301 stainless steel has high strength and can withstand large mechanical stresses, ensuring the durability and reliability of the fixing clamp 5.

[0053] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
