[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of transformers, and particularly relates to a core stacking structure for reducing transformer losses. Background Art
[0002] The core is the main magnetic circuit part in a transformer, and is usually stacked by hot-rolled or cold-rolled silicon steel sheets with a relatively high silicon content and an insulating paint coated on the surface. The core and the coil wound thereon form a complete electromagnetic induction system. The size of the power transmitted by the transformer depends on the material and cross-sectional area of the core. Reasonably setting the core structure can reduce the air gap and magnetic resistance in the magnetic circuit, and reduce the noise generated by the vibration of the core. <000(006>Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a core stacking structure for reducing transformer losses by reasonably setting the core specifications.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a core stacking structure for reducing transformer losses, including a core spliced into a "day" shape. The core includes several silicon steel sheet assemblies stacked in a stepped manner. The width of the silicon steel sheet assembly in the middle is the largest, and the width of the silicon steel sheet assemblies on the outer side gradually decreases. The width and thickness of the silicon steel sheet assembly in the middle are 250 mm and 146 mm respectively. Starting from the silicon steel sheet assembly in the middle, nine groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies are arranged on both the front and back sides of the core. From the middle to the outside, the widths of the nine groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies are 245 mm, 235 mm, 225 mm, 215 mm, 200 mm, 180 mm, 160 mm, 140 mm, and 120 mm in sequence, and the thicknesses of the nine groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies are 25 mm, 18 mm, 11 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 9 mm, 8 mm, and 6 mm in sequence.
[0005] As an improvement of the above solution, clamping plates for adding several silicon steel sheet assemblies are arranged on the outermost front and back sides of the core.
[0006] As an improvement of the above solution, each group of silicon steel sheet assemblies includes several silicon steel sheets with the same size and stacked on top of each other.
[0007] As an improvement of the above solution, the core adopts a full-bevel joint connection method. The core includes yoke sheets on the upper and lower sides, side columns on the left and right sides, and a middle column in the middle. The end faces of the side columns are set at a 45° bevel, the head and tail ends of the middle column are set at 90° right angles, the head and tail ends of the yoke sheets are set at 45° bevels, and a 90° right-angle notch is arranged in the middle of the yoke sheets.
[0008] As an improvement of the above solution, the maximum left-right length of the core is 1390 mm, and the maximum up-down height is 1175 mm.
[0009] This invention offers the following advantages: the stepped stacked structure, wider in the middle and narrower on the outside, controls the magnetic flux density below the saturation point by matching the magnetic flux density distribution, thereby reducing hysteresis loss and minimizing unusable edge material, significantly lowering core loss and material costs. Compared to the results of the "empirical formula for calculating width gradient," the proposed dimensional design slightly adjusts the thickness of different groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies, resulting in a 2-4 dB reduction in noise and a 10% decrease in hysteresis loss.

[0018] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model discloses a core stacking structure for reducing transformer losses, including a core spliced into a "day" shape. The core includes a number of silicon steel sheet assemblies 40 stacked in a stepped manner. The width of the silicon steel sheet assembly 40 in the middle is the largest, and the width of the silicon steel sheet assemblies 40 on the outside gradually decreases. The width and thickness of the middle silicon steel sheet assembly 40 are 250 mm and 146 mm respectively. Starting from the middle silicon steel sheet assembly 40, nine groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies 40 are provided on both the front and back sides of the core. From the middle to the outside, the widths of the nine groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies 40 are 245 mm, 235 mm, 225 mm, 215 mm, 200 mm, 180 mm, 160 mm, 140 mm, and 120 mm in sequence, and the thicknesses of the nine groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies 40 are 25 mm, 18 mm, 11 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 9 mm, 8 mm, and 6 mm in sequence.
[0019] As an improvement to the above solution, clamping plates for adding a number of silicon steel sheet assemblies 40 are provided on the front and back sides of the outermost part of the core. As shown in Figure 2 , the clamping plates are respectively located at the uppermost and lowermost positions.
[0020] As an improvement to the above solution, each group of silicon steel sheet assemblies 40 includes a number of silicon steel sheets of the same size and stacked on top of each other. Further, the thickness of each silicon steel sheet is 0.35 mm - 0.65 mm, and an insulating coating is applied to the silicon steel sheets.
[0021] As an improvement to the above solution, the core adopts a full oblique joint connection method.

The end faces of the side columns 10 are set at a 45° oblique angle, the head and tail ends of the middle column 2 are set at a 90° right angle, the head and tail ends of the yoke sheets 30 are set at a 45° oblique angle, and a 90° right-angle notch is provided in the middle of the yoke sheets 30.
[0022] As an improvement to the above solution, the maximum length of the core from left to right is 1390 mm, and the maximum height from top to bottom is 1175 mm.
[0023] The stepped stacked structure, wider in the middle and narrower on the outside, controls the magnetic flux density below the saturation point by matching the magnetic flux density distribution. This reduces hysteresis loss and unusable edge material, significantly lowering core loss and material costs. Compared to the results of the "empirical formula for calculating width gradient," the proposed size design slightly adjusts the thickness of different groups of silicon steel sheet assemblies 40, resulting in a 2-4 dB reduction in noise and a 10% decrease in hysteresis loss.
