[0002] Power transformers, as important electrical equipment, are widely used in industry, agriculture, transportation, and urban communities. Power transformers are classified into oil-immersed transformers and dry-type transformers according to their cooling medium. Due to differences in insulation media and heat dissipation materials, large-capacity 10kV dry-type power transformers can have a maximum load capacity of 3.5T, and their transportation and storage requirements after manufacturing are relatively high. Currently, dedicated storage structures are typically required for power transformers, taking into account requirements such as rain and moisture protection, heat and moisture retention, sealing and flatness, and electrical safety, to ensure the safe and stable storage of power transformers. Existing warehouses have long construction cycles, long equipment turnover times, and large manual workloads. Furthermore, the construction and transportation costs of warehouses are high. After construction, a large amount of manpower is still needed for the maintenance and management of transformers. This can easily lead to some parts being difficult to repair and put into use in a timely manner due to quality problems, which delays the transportation, testing, and storage of power transformers inside the warehouse, resulting in high costs.

The top of the transport compartment is triangular, and multiple slots are opened inside the transport compartment.
[0017] It should be noted that the first and second compartments operate independently. Each area is equipped with a work door, a test door, and an external power input door. The compartments contain auxiliary test systems such as power supply, ventilation, temperature and humidity control systems, lighting, and monitoring systems. There are multiple first and second compartments. The transport compartment is based on a 40HC standard prefabricated container, with multiple containers spliced together to form a storage container. The middle container has no side panels, and the outer walls and top are insulated. Rails, shelves, and monitoring, temperature and humidity monitoring are pre-installed in each container. The transport compartment has also undergone waterproofing and insulation treatment. The bottom of the container is sprayed with asphalt. The gaps between the containers are first filled with flexible waterproof coating, and the surface of the gaps is covered with stainless steel pressure strips and covered with waterproof sealant, with drainage holes provided. The container top is sloped at an angle of about 3 degrees. After two 12-meter sections are spliced together, the top is triangular, which is waterproof and does not easily accumulate water, and does not affect hoisting. The outer wall panels and top are made of outer composite board, 50mm thermal insulation rock wool board, and internal polyurethane decorative board, with a total thickness of about 70mm. The transport unit can move horizontally in the transport compartment and communicate with the WCS system through the wireless signal of the AP in the compartment. It can transport lifting transformers.
[0018] The conveying unit includes a first conveying frame 1, a second conveying frame 2, a first conveying track 3, a second conveying track 4, and a transport vehicle 5. The first conveying frame 1 and the second conveying frame 2 are arranged opposite to each other. The first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first conveying frame 1 and the second conveying frame 2. The two sides of the transport vehicle are respectively arranged on the first conveying track 3 and the second conveying track 4.
[0019] It should be noted that the transport vehicle 5 moves horizontally along the transport track to transport the transformer within the transport compartment, and the transport vehicle 5 can also perform vertical lifting movements.
[0020] The transport vehicle 5 includes a transport slide plate 51, a transport cylinder 52, multiple transport rods 53, a transport plate 54, and a transport protective plate 55. The two ends of the transport slide plate 51 are respectively connected to the first transport track 3 and the second transport track 4. The fixed end of the transport cylinder 52 is installed in the middle of the transport slide plate 51. The output end of the transport cylinder 52 is connected to the bottom of the transport plate 54 with its upward facing end. One end of the multiple transport rods 53 is arranged sequentially and spaced apart inside the transport slide plate 51, and the other end is arranged sequentially and upward through the transport plate 54. The transport protective plate 55 is installed on the transport plate 54.
[0021] It should be noted that the transport cylinder 52 drives the transport plate 54 to lift the transformer, thereby unloading the product after it is transported to the designated location. The transport protection plate 55 is used to protect the transformer during the transport process.
[0022] The transport vehicle 5 is made of metal and is also equipped with a battery unit, which is connected to the electrical control unit.
[0023] It should be noted that the transport vehicle 5 can automatically charge the battery unit through the electrical control unit inside the transport compartment, so that the transport vehicle 5 can automatically recharge its power during the work waiting period and can be put into operation at any time.
[0024] The transport vehicle 5 is also equipped with a weighing and detection unit, which can alarm if the transport plate 54 exceeds the standard and return the sample. For the 3-ton warehouse, samples weighing no more than 3 tons are allowed to enter the warehouse, and the weighing results are displayed on the operation screen.
[0025] The first detection unit 6 and the second detection unit 7 are respectively installed on the first transport track and the second transport track.
[0026] It should be noted that the first detection unit 6 and the second detection unit 7 are used to detect whether the length, width and height dimensions of the incoming material trays exceed the limits. The size detection is carried out by photoelectric switches automatically controlled by the PLC. The detection signal is returned to the PLC and the information is displayed on the top LED screen. For materials whose size meets the warehousing requirements, the location information is displayed on the LED screen and the materials are transferred to the four-way shuttle dock. For materials that are too wide or too high, the error information is displayed on the LED screen, an audible and visual alarm is issued, and the materials are returned to the unloading port to guide the forklift to pick up the goods for abnormal handling.
