[0002] The design of the traditional extra-high voltage transformer oil tank wall mainly focuses on meeting the static pressure strength requirement (such as positive pressure 120kPa, negative pressure 13Pa), and usually adopts single thickening steel plate or locally added rigid support structure. However, under extreme working conditions such as internal high-energy arc fault, instantaneous shock wave will form a high-strength mechanical stress field on the surface of the oil tank wall, causing local stress concentration of the inner wall, which is easy to cause cracks and even rupture, causing serious accidents such as insulation oil leakage and fire. In the prior art, although the thickness of the tank wall is simply increased to improve the static pressure bearing capacity, the plastic deformation space of the material is significantly reduced, and the energy absorption efficiency is weakened; and the dense arrangement of the rigid support structure may cause the overall tank wall to be "too rigid", and the stress transmission is intensified due to the lack of buffering mechanism under dynamic impact, thereby increasing the risk of rupture.
