[0002] With the surge in demand for urban power grid upgrades and new energy integration, traditional civil engineering substations are gradually being replaced due to their large footprint, long construction period, and poor flexibility. Prefabricated substations, by highly integrating high-voltage switchgear, transformers, low-voltage distribution equipment, and protection systems into a sealed enclosure, achieve a modular design of "factory prefabrication + on-site assembly," significantly shortening the power supply cycle.
[0003] However, the sealed enclosure is prone to transformer overheating in high-temperature environments, requiring forced ventilation. But the long-term operation of the cooling fan will lead to increased noise and energy consumption. Therefore, the applicant has made a useful design and found a solution to the above problems. The technical solution described below was developed in this context. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Reference example Figures 1 to 8 A box-type transformer for power distribution control equipment includes a box body 1 and a top cover 2 fixed thereon. The top cover has a partition 3 to form two independent equipment areas 11. The top cover 2 has an upwardly recessed converging channel 211 that covers the equipment area 11. The side wall of the converging channel 211 has a number of guiding fins 212. Each guiding fin 212 is used to guide the rising airflow to form a spiral rotation path. A cooling fan 4 is provided at the airflow gathering point of the converging channel 211. The end extension direction of the guiding fins 212 is consistent with the rotation direction of the impeller of the cooling fan 4, so that the airflow carries angular momentum to drive the impeller. The top cover 2 has an exhaust channel 221 directly above the cooling fan 4. The two side walls of the exhaust channel 221 have inclined downward heat dissipation vents 25. A dustproof plate 5 is pivotally connected to the outlet of each heat dissipation vent 25.
[0031] The hot air above the equipment area 11 is centrally processed by the manifold 211. The directional guide fins 212 improve the gas convergence efficiency, optimize the airflow convergence path, avoid turbulence, and increase the gas flow speed. The adjacent first, second, and third guide sections 215 together form a swirling acceleration channel, which allows the airflow to carry angular momentum when it enters the air inlet of the cooling fan 4, thereby improving the impeller operating efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The dustproof plate 5 is automatically opened by the action of high-pressure gas, which takes into account the functions of dustproof, rainproof and ventilation. The above design improves the overall heat dissipation performance and reduces operating noise. This structural design takes into account airflow organization and mechanical linkage, which enhances the system's adaptability and stability.
[0032] It is worth mentioning that the top cover 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and a cover plate 22. The confluence channel 211 is formed on the bottom plate 21. The bottom plate 21 has support plates 23 on both sides of the confluence channel 211. Each support plate 23 has a downward inclined ramp 231 at both ends.
[0033] It is worth mentioning that the cover plate 22 is fixed on the ramp 231, the exhaust channel 221 is set on the cover plate 22, and the exhaust channel 221 has raised and downward inclined raised parts 222 on both sides. A guide plate 24 is provided between the two raised parts 222, and an inclined heat dissipation port 25 is formed between the guide plate 24 and the exhaust channel 221. The guide plate 24 guides the high-speed vertical upward airflow to be discharged in an orderly manner from the heat dissipation ports 25 on both sides of the exhaust port, further improving the gas flow speed.
[0034] It is worth mentioning that the deflector plate 24 has vertically extending extensions 241 on both sides. Each extension 241 is attached to the outer wall of the raised part 222 and fixed to the raised part 222. The extension 241 is attached to the raised part 222 in a semi-enclosed form to prevent rainwater from seeping into the exhaust channel 221. The extension 241 can be connected and fixed to the raised part 222 by welding or fastening screws.
[0035] It is worth mentioning that the dustproof plate 5 is pivoted on the upper edge of the raised part 222 via a pivot. The bottom of the dustproof plate 5 is provided with a gravity part 51, which is used to keep the dustproof plate 5 in a vertical closed state when there is no wind. When the cooling fan 4 is running, it outputs a high-speed airflow that acts on the dustproof plate 5, causing it to tilt outward and open. When it rains, the tilting structure prevents external rainwater from entering the exhaust channel 221, ensuring that ventilation and rain protection functions are realized simultaneously.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that the guide fins 212 include: a first guide part 213 inclined and extending towards the bottom of the side wall of the confluence channel 211; a spiral curved second guide part 214 connected to the end of the first guide part 213 for accelerating the airflow into a vortex; and a third guide part 215 connected to the end of the second guide part 214, whose tangential extension direction is consistent with the rotation direction of the impeller of the cooling fan 4. The cooling fan 4 is an axial flow fan, and the rotation direction of the impeller is in the same direction as the rotation direction of the airflow output from the vortex acceleration channel. The guide fins 212 on each side wall are evenly distributed, so that the airflow forms a spiral convergence path along the central axis of the confluence channel 211. The spiral path design of the guide fins 212 makes the hot air form a rotating airflow. When the airflow enters the fan, it carries angular momentum and rotates in the same direction as the impeller. Under the premise of reducing the fan impeller resistance, it also effectively reduces energy consumption and significantly improves the fan's suction efficiency.
[0037] It is worth mentioning that there are several equally spaced ventilation holes 12 at the bottom of each equipment area 11. Each ventilation hole 12 has a horizontally pull-out filter 6 at its inlet. By introducing air from the bottom and exhausting it from the top, a vertical air duct is formed, which promotes full heat exchange between the cold air and the equipment and improves heat dissipation efficiency. The filter 6 intercepts impurities in the incoming air and prevents the ventilation holes 12 from being blocked. This structural design optimizes the airflow path and improves the stability and reliability of the system operation.
[0038] It is worth mentioning that the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with several heightening supports 13 to maintain a distance between the filter screen 6 and the ground for gas flow.
[0039] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
