Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vibration reduction unit and a transformer including the same, and more particularly to a vibration reduction unit capable of reducing vibration or noise generated during operation and radiated to the outside, and a transformer including the same. [Background technology]

[0002]

[0002] A transformer is a common name for a device that converts the value of an AC voltage or current using electromagnetic induction. A transformer includes a coil that is connected to the outside and to which an AC current is applied, and an iron core around which the coil is wound. A transformer is provided with multiple coils, each of which is wound around an iron core.

[0003]

[0003] When an alternating current is applied to one of the coils, a magnetic flux is generated in the iron core. In response to the change in the magnetic flux, a current is induced in the other coil through electromagnetic induction. The induced current can be transmitted to an external load with a current or voltage different from the applied alternating current.

[0004]

[0004] The iron core of a transformer is formed by laminating a number of iron plates. When the transformer is operated, magnetostriction occurs in the iron core. The magnetostriction can cause vibrations or noise in the iron core. The generated vibrations and noise can be transmitted to the outside and can adversely affect the environment in which the transformer is installed.

[0005]

[0005] Specifically, the generated vibrations can be transmitted to other components of the transformer and to other devices connected to the transformer, which can cause instability in the coupling between the components of the transformer and between the transformer and other devices.

[0006]

[0006] As a result, techniques have been introduced to reduce the vibration or noise generated during the operation of the transformer.

[0007] Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1530347 discloses a dustproof support device for a substation transformer. Specifically, the device supports the substation transformer and absorbs vibrations of the transformer itself and vibrations caused by external influences transferred to the transformer, thereby isolating the generated vibrations.

[0008]

[0008] However, the dustproof support device disclosed in the prior art document can only support a transformer of a preset size and weight. That is, when the weight or size of a transformer is changed, the dustproof support device must be redesigned according to the increased weight or size. That is, the dustproof support device disclosed in the prior art document can only support a transformer of a preset size and weight, and it is difficult to support a transformer of a different size or weight.

[0009]

[0009] In addition, the dustproof support device disclosed in the prior art is formed to support the transformer from below, and therefore the height of the transformer and the dustproof support device increases, making it difficult to accommodate them in existing substations.

[0010] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1661138 discloses a dustproof support device for a transformer in a substation. Specifically, the device discloses a vibration-proof support device for absorbing vibrations of a transformer by stacking buffer blocks inside a box partially buried in the ground and connecting the transformer to the buffer blocks.

[0011] However, the dustproof support device disclosed in the above-mentioned prior art is intended to be buried underground. Therefore, when a transformer is placed away from the ground, it is difficult to apply the dustproof support device according to the above-mentioned prior art.

[0012]

[0012] In addition, the dustproof support device disclosed in the prior art is also configured to support the transformer from below, and therefore can absorb vibrations generated by the operation of the transformer from below, but it is difficult to reduce vibrations radiated in other directions.

[0036]

[0036] A transformer can be provided in which the vibration reduction portion is recessed outward from one side of the main cover facing the wall portion and includes a communication portion extending along the direction in which the multiple reinforcing ribs are separated, and the communication portion is respectively connected to the multiple filling spaces, so that the sound absorbing material flowing into any one of the multiple filling spaces can flow into other of the multiple filling spaces. Effect of the Invention

[0037]

[0037] With the above-described configuration, the vibration reduction unit according to the embodiment of the present invention and the transformer including the same can reduce vibration or noise radiated to the outside.

[0038]

[0038] First, the vibration reduction unit is provided with a sound absorbing member. The sound absorbing member forms a housing and is configured to contact a wall portion surrounding an accommodation space formed inside the housing. The sound absorbing member is made of a material capable of absorbing vibration or noise, such as urethane foam, rubber, or cork.

[0039]

[0039] The vibration reduction unit includes a cover member. The cover member includes a main cover that encases the sound absorbing member in its thickness direction, and a sub-cover that encases the sound absorbing member in its height direction. The sound absorbing member is prevented from being arbitrarily exposed to the outside by the main cover and the sound absorbing member.

[0040]

[0040] Vibrations or noise generated by the operation of the conductive part housed in the housing space are transmitted to the wall part and then absorbed by the sound absorbing member. The vibrations or noise that pass through the sound absorbing member are reduced in comparison with the vibrations or noise that were initially generated, and then can be radiated to the outside through the cover member.

[0041]

[0041] Therefore, vibration or noise radiated to the outside of the transformer can be reduced.

[0042]

[0042] Also, with the above-mentioned configuration, the vibration reduction unit according to the embodiment of the present invention and the transformer including the same can reduce vibration or noise along the direction in which it travels.

[0043]

[0043] First, the vibration reduction unit is coupled to the outside of the wall portion constituting the housing. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying unit can pass through the storage space inside the housing, the wall portion, and the sound-absorbing member in that order, and then be radiated to the outside through the cover member.

[0044]

[0044] That is, the vibration reduction unit is disposed on the path along which the generated vibration or noise travels, and can reduce the generated vibration or noise.

[0045]

[0045] Therefore, the vibration or noise radiated to the outside of the transformer can be reduced more effectively.

[0046]

[0046] Furthermore, due to the above configuration, the vibration reduction unit according to the embodiment of the present invention and the transformer including the same can be easily installed.

[0047] First, the vibration reducing portion is coupled to the outside of the wall portion constituting the housing. That is, the internal structure of the housing is not required to be modified in order to accommodate the vibration reducing portion.

[0048]

[0048] In addition, the sound absorbing member of the vibration reduction unit is accommodated in a filling space formed between a plurality of reinforcing ribs formed on the wall portion. In an embodiment in which the sound absorbing member is a solid material, i.e., rubber or cork, the sound absorbing member can be manufactured in a shape corresponding to the shape of the filling space and accommodated in the filling space.

[0049]

[0049] When the sound absorbing member is accommodated, the cover member is joined to cover the filling space and the sound absorbing member accommodated therein from the outside. The sound absorbing member is prevented from being arbitrarily exposed to the outside by the wall portion, the reinforcing ribs formed on the wall portion, and the cover member.

[0050]

[0050] Therefore, since excessive design changes are not required to provide the vibration reduction unit, the installation and maintenance of the vibration reduction unit can be facilitated.

[0051]

[0051] In addition, due to the above configuration, the vibration reduction unit according to the embodiment of the present invention and the transformer including the same can be modified into various shapes in terms of material and structure.

[0052]

[0052] First, the sound absorbing member may be formed of a material that is flowable but hardens after a certain time has passed. In one embodiment, the sound absorbing member may be made of urethane foam, and in the above embodiment, the sound absorbing member may be injected through a member such as a gun and placed in the filling space.

[0053]

[0053] In the above embodiment, the vibration reduction portion may be connected to the housing in a form in which the vibration reduction portion is surrounded by a sub-cover, the sound absorbing member is housed therein, and the main cover is connected thereto.

[0054]

[0054] Furthermore, the vibration reducing portion may be configured so that the sound absorbing member is supplied through a communication hole that penetrates the sub-cover and connects the filled space with the outside.

[0055]

[0055] Furthermore, the vibration reducing portion may be formed such that the plurality of filling spaces are connected to each other by a space formed by separating the main cover and the reinforcing rib or a communication portion formed by recessing the main cover. In the above embodiment, the sound absorbing material injected into any one filling space through a single path may flow to the other filling spaces.

[0056]

[0056] Therefore, since the vibration reducing portion can be provided using a variety of materials and structures, the degree of freedom in design can be improved.

[0057]

[0057] Furthermore, with the above-described configuration, the vibration reduction section according to the embodiment of the present invention and the transformer including the same can reduce radiated vibration or noise at various positions.

[0058]

[0058] The vibration reduction portion may be provided on one or more of a plurality of walls surrounding the accommodation space of the housing. In one embodiment, the vibration reduction portion may be provided on each of the plurality of walls. In the embodiment, the vibration reduction portion may reduce vibration or noise on each side traveling in the radial direction of the current-carrying portion.

[0059]

[0059] Therefore, vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying parts can be radiated to the outside of the transformer after being reduced in various positions and directions.

[0060]

[0060] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects described above, but should be understood to include all effects that can be inferred from the configuration of the invention described in the detailed description of the present invention or the claims.

[0114] The reinforcing rib 130 is connected to the wall portion 110 and reinforces the rigidity of the wall portion 110. The reinforcing rib 130 is formed to extend in one direction in which the wall portion 110 extends, that is, in the illustrated embodiment, in the up-down direction.

[0094]

[0115] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 130 may be provided. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 130 may be arranged spaced apart from one another along other directions in which the wall portion 110 extends. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the reinforcing ribs 130 are arranged spaced apart from one another along the front-rear direction.

[0095]

[0116] The reinforcing ribs 130 may be formed at a plurality of positions. As described above, a plurality of wall portions 110 may be provided and disposed to surround the accommodation space 120 from various directions. Thus, the reinforcing ribs 130 may be formed for each of the plurality of wall portions 110.

[0096]

[0117] In the embodiment shown, the reinforcing ribs 130 are formed on the first to fourth walls 111, 112, 113, and 114, respectively.

[0097]

[0118] The reinforcing rib 130 may have any shape that can be connected to the wall portion 110 to reinforce the rigidity of the wall portion 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the reinforcing rib 130 is provided in the form of a column that is formed to extend in the vertical direction and has a predetermined thickness toward the outside.

[0098]

[0119] The reinforcing rib 130 may include a plurality of portions extending in different directions. Referring to FIG. 5, the reinforcing rib 130 includes a first reinforcing rib 131 and a second reinforcing rib 132.

[0099]

[0120] The first reinforcing rib 131 is formed to extend in one direction, in the vertical direction in the illustrated embodiment, and is configured to reinforce the rigidity of the wall portion 110. The first reinforcing rib 131 may be formed to extend in the height direction of the housing 100.

[0100]

[0121] A plurality of first reinforcing ribs 131 may be formed. The plurality of first reinforcing ribs 131 may be arranged spaced apart from each other in another direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the first reinforcing ribs 131 are arranged spaced apart in the horizontal direction.

[0101]

[0122] That is, the multiple first reinforcing ribs 131 provided on the wall 111 and the fourth wall 114 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. Also, the multiple first reinforcing ribs 131 provided on the second wall 112 and the third wall 113 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction.

[0102]

[0123] A space formed by separating the first reinforcing ribs 131 may be defined as a filling space 140. The filling space 140 may be filled with a sound absorbing member 320 of the vibration reduction part 300 described below, so that vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 may be reduced.

[0103]

[0124] Second reinforcing ribs 132 extend between the multiple first reinforcing ribs 131 .

[0104]

[0125] The second reinforcing rib 132 is formed to extend in another direction, in the horizontal direction in the illustrated embodiment, and is configured to reinforce the rigidity of the wall portion 110. The second reinforcing rib 132 is also configured to extend between the multiple first reinforcing ribs 131 and reinforce the rigidity of the first reinforcing ribs 131 spaced apart from each other.

[0105]

[0126] The second reinforcing ribs 132 may be formed to extend in a cross-sectional direction of the housing 100. In the illustrated embodiment, the second reinforcing ribs 132 extending from the first wall 111 and the fourth wall 114 may extend in the left-right direction. Also, the second reinforcing ribs 132 extending from the second wall 112 and the third wall 113 may extend in the front-rear direction.

[0106]

[0127] A plurality of second reinforcing ribs 132 may be formed. The plurality of second reinforcing ribs 132 may be spaced apart in the one direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the second reinforcing ribs 132 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the first reinforcing rib 131, i.e., in the up-down direction.

[0107]

[0128] A space formed by spacing the second reinforcing ribs 132 may also be defined as a filling space 140. The filling space 140 may be filled with a sound absorbing member 320 of the vibration reducing part 300, which will be described later, to reduce vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200. This will be described in detail later.

[0108]

[0129] The filling space 140 is a space formed between the multiple reinforcing ribs 130. The filling space 140 is surrounded on both horizontal sides by the multiple reinforcing ribs 130. In addition, the filling space 140 is surrounded on the other horizontal side by the wall body portion 110, and each end in the up-down direction and the other horizontal side are surrounded by the cover member 310 of the vibration reduction portion 300.

[0109]

[0130] 5, there is shown a fill space 140 formed in the first wall 111. In the embodiment shown, the left and right sides of the fill space 140 are surrounded by a first reinforcing rib 131. The rear side of the fill space 140 is surrounded by the first wall 111, and the front, top, and bottom sides of the fill space 140 are surrounded by a cover member 310.

[0110]

[0131] The filling space 140 may be divided into a plurality of small spaces. The divisions are formed by a plurality of reinforcing ribs 130. That is, referring to (a) of Fig. 5, the filling space 140 is divided in the horizontal direction by a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 131 arranged at a distance from each other. Also, the filling space 140 is divided in the vertical direction by a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 132 arranged at a distance from each other.

[0111]

[0132] The multiple spaces formed by partitioning the filling space 140 are not arbitrarily connected to each other by the reinforcing ribs 130. However, the multiple spaces may be connected to each other by a vibration reducer 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which will be described later.

[0112]

[0133] The filling space 140 may accommodate a sound absorbing member 320 of the vibration reduction unit 300. The sound absorbing member 320 is configured to absorb vibrations or noise generated in the current carrying unit 200 and transmitted to the wall unit 110. This prevents the generated vibrations or noise from being radiated to the outside. This will be described in detail later.

[0113]

[0134] The current carrying unit 200 steps up or down the current transmitted from the outside. Thus, it can be said that the current carrying unit 200 substantially performs the function of the transformer 10.

[0114]

[0135] The current-carrying part 200 is accommodated in the internal space of the housing 100, i.e., the accommodation space 120. The accommodation space 120 is defined by being surrounded by a plurality of wall parts 110, and therefore the current-carrying part 200 accommodated in the accommodation space 120 or the plurality of wall parts 110 is surrounded and not arbitrarily exposed to the outside.

[0115]

[0136] Therefore, the current-carrying unit 200 is not damaged by the environment outside the transformer 10. In addition, workers who are present near the transformer 10 can be physically separated from the current-carrying unit 200, thereby preventing safety accidents caused by the current flowing through the current-carrying unit 200.

[0116]

[0137] The current-carrying unit 200 is electrically connected to the outside. The current can be provided by a conductive member (not shown) that electrically connects the receiving space 120 to the outside. The process of increasing or decreasing the voltage of the current by the current-carrying unit 200 is a well-known technique, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0117]

[0138] In the illustrated embodiment, the current-carrying portion 200 includes a core member 210 , a winding member 220 , and a support frame 230 .

[0118]

[0139] The iron core member 210 forms the structure of the current-carrying unit 200. A plurality of winding members 220 that are electrically connected to the outside are wound around the iron core member 210. When a current is applied to one or more of the plurality of winding members 220, a magnetic flux is generated in the iron core member 210. The generated magnetic flux generates an induced electromotive force in one or more other of the plurality of winding members 220.

[0119]

[0140] The iron core member 210 may be formed by stacking a plurality of plates. In one embodiment, the iron core member 210 is formed by stacking a plurality of plates having a thickness in the front-rear direction.

[0120]

[0141] The multiple plates that make up the iron core member 210 may be made of any material that can generate a magnetic flux due to a current passed through the winding member 220. In one embodiment, the plates may be made of wrought iron material.

[0121]

[0142] The core member 210 may be formed in any shape in which a plurality of winding members 220 can be wound to form a magnetic flux.

[0122]

[0143] The transformer 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include the vibration reduction unit 400 according to another embodiment, thereby reducing vibration or noise caused by magnetostriction in the iron core member 210. This will be described in detail later.

[0123]

[0144] The winding member 220 is wound around the iron core member 210. A current applied to the winding member 220 generates a magnetic flux in the iron core member 210, and the current can be increased or decreased in voltage by an induced electromotive force due to the generated magnetic flux and transmitted to the outside.

[0124]

[0145] The winding member 220 is electrically connected to the outside. A current to be stepped up or stepped down can be transmitted to the winding member 220. The stepped-up or stepped-down current can be transmitted to the outside.

[0125]

[0146] The winding member 220 is wound around the core member 210. Specifically, the winding member 220 is wound around a portion of the core member 210 that is formed to extend in the height direction, in the illustrated embodiment, in the vertical direction.

[0126]

[0147] The winding member 220 is housed in the iron core member 210. Specifically, the winding member 220 is housed in a space surrounded by the portions formed to extend in the height direction.

[0127]

[0148] There may be a plurality of winding members 220. The plurality of winding members 220 may be arranged spaced apart from one another and wound around the core member 210 at positions different from one another.

[0128]

[0149] In the illustrated embodiment, three winding members 220 are provided and are spaced apart from one another. The winding members 220 do not contact one another.

[0129]

[0150] Any one of the plurality of winding members 220 may be electrically connected to the outside and transmit a current to be stepped up or stepped down, while another of the plurality of winding members 220 may be electrically connected to the outside and transmit a stepped-up or stepped-down current to the outside.

[0130]

[0151] A current induced by a current passed through any one of the winding members 220 may be passed through the remaining one of the winding members 220 among the plurality of winding members 220. In addition, the remaining one of the winding members 220 may induce a current in the other one of the winding members 220 through the induced current.

[0131]

[0152] The winding member 220 may be provided in any form capable of generating an induced electromotive force when wound around the iron core member 210. In the illustrated embodiment, the winding member 220 has a circular cross section with a hollow inside and is shaped like a cylinder elongated in the vertical direction.

[0132]

[0153] The winding members 220 may be provided in any form that allows a current induced by a current passed through any one of the winding members 220. In one embodiment, the winding members 220 may be provided in the form of a coil.

[0133]

[0154] The support frame 230 supports the core member 210 and the winding member 220 wound around the core member 210. The support frame 230 can be connected to the core member 210 and the housing 100, respectively.

[0134]

[0155] The support frame 230 may be made of a highly rigid material. In one embodiment, the support frame 230 may be made of an alloy material including iron (Fe).

[0135]

[0156] The support frame 230 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the iron core member 210. In the illustrated embodiment, the iron core member 210 is formed to have a rectangular cross section having a length in the left-right direction and a height in the up-down direction, so that the support frame 230 may also be formed to extend in the left-right direction.

[0136]

[0157] The support frame 230 can be coupled to the iron core member 210 at a plurality of positions to support the iron core member 210. In the illustrated embodiment, the support frame 230 is formed so as to surround the upper and lower ends of the iron core member 210 from the outside.

[0137]

[0158] As will be described later, the transformer 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a vibration reduction unit 400 that is connected to each of the iron core member 210, the support frame 230, and the housing 100. The vibration reduction unit 400 further supports the iron core member 210 and the support frame 230, and is configured to reduce vibration or noise generated in the iron core member 210 and the support frame 230. This will be described in detail later.

[0138]

[0159] 3. Description of the vibration reduction unit 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention

[0160] 3 to 8, a transformer 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vibration reduction unit 300. The vibration reduction unit 300 according to the present embodiment is provided in the housing 100 and configured to reduce vibration or noise.

[0139]

[0161] Specifically, the vibration reduction unit 300 is coupled to the wall unit 110 of the housing 100 and configured to absorb vibrations or noise transmitted from the current-carrying unit 200 to the wall unit 110. This can reduce the amount of vibrations or noise radiated to the outside of the transformer 10.

[0140]

[0162] The vibration reduction part 300 is coupled to the wall part 110. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the vibration reduction part 300 is shown to be provided on the first wall 111 on the front side. Alternatively, the vibration reduction part 300 may be provided on a wall including the filling space 140 formed between the reinforcing ribs 130, i.e., on one or more of the second to fourth walls 112, 113, and 114.

[0141]

[0163] That is, the vibration reduction portion 300 may be provided on one or more of the multiple walls.

[0142]

[0164] In the illustrated embodiment, the vibration reduction unit 300 includes a cover member 310, a sound absorbing member 320, a communication hole 330, a plug member 340, and a communication portion 350. Of the above components, the communication hole 330, the plug member 340, and the communication portion 350 may be provided in various embodiments of the vibration reduction unit 300.

[0143]

[0165] The cover member 310 forms the outer shape of the vibration reduction part 300. The cover member 310 seals the sound absorbing member 320 housed in the filling space 140. In addition, the cover member 310 fixedly supports the sound absorbing member 320 to prevent it from accidentally leaking or being exposed to the outside.

[0144]

[0166] The cover member 310 is coupled to the wall portion 110. Specifically, the cover member 310 is coupled to the outer side surface of the reinforcing rib 130 to cover the filling space 140 formed in the wall portion 110. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 3 to 5, the cover member 310 is coupled to the front side surface of the reinforcing rib 130 and configured to cover the filling space 140 from the front side.

[0145]

[0167] There may be a plurality of cover members 310. The plurality of cover members 310 may be coupled to the plurality of wall portions 110, respectively. As an example, four cover members 310 may be provided and coupled to the first to fourth walls 111, 112, 113, and 114, respectively.

[0146]

[0168] The cover member 310 can be coupled to the wall portion 110 while covering from the outside the reinforcing ribs 130 and the sound absorbing member 320 housed in the filling space 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover member 310 is coupled to the wall portion 110 while covering from the front side, the lower side, and the upper side the reinforcing ribs 130 formed in the first wall 111 and the sound absorbing member 320 housed in the filling space 140.

[0147]

[0169] The cover member 310 may include multiple parts. The multiple parts of the cover member 310 may be coupled to the wall portion 110 at different positions to cover the reinforcing rib 130, the filling space 140, and the sound absorbing member 320 housed in the filling space 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover member 310 includes a main cover 311 and a sub cover 312.

[0148]

[0170] The main cover 311 forms one of the multiple parts of the cover member 310. The main cover 311 is coupled to the wall portion 110, covering the reinforcing ribs 130, the filling space 140, and the sound absorbing member 320 housed in the filling space 140 along its thickness direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the main cover 311 is coupled to the first wall 111 so as to cover the reinforcing ribs 130, the filling space 140, and the sound absorbing member 320 housed therein of the first wall 111 from the front side.

[0149]

[0171] Although not shown in the drawing, vibration reducing parts 300 may be provided on the second to fourth walls 112, 113, 114. In this case, it will be understood that the main cover 311 is coupled to each of the walls 112, 113, 114 by covering the reinforcing rib 130, the filled space 140, and the sound absorbing member 320 housed therein from the left side, right side, and rear side, respectively.

[0150]

[0172] The main cover 311 may be in the form of a plate. In the illustrated embodiment, the main cover 311 is in the form of a polygonal plate having a cross section whose left-right extension length is longer than its up-down extension length and whose thickness is in the front-rear direction. The shape of the main cover 311 may be changed according to the shape of the wall portion 110 and the shape and arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 130.

[0151]

[0173] The main cover 311 is continuous with the sub-cover 312 .

[0152]

[0174] The sub-cover 312 forms another part of the multiple parts of the cover member 310. The sub-cover 312 is coupled to the wall portion 110 while covering the reinforcing rib 130, the filling space 140, and the sound absorbing member 320 accommodated in the filling space 140 along a direction different from that of the main cover 311.

[0153]

[0175] A plurality of sub-covers 312 may be provided. The plurality of sub-covers 312 may be coupled to the wall portion 110 while respectively covering the plurality of filling spaces 140 formed between the plurality of reinforcing ribs 131.

[0154]

[0176] The sub-covers 312 may be provided in a plurality of pairs. The plurality of pairs of sub-covers 312 may be coupled to the wall portion 110 while covering the reinforcing rib 130, the filling space 140, and the sound absorbing member 320 housed in the filling space 140 at different positions from each other.

[0155]

[0177] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a pair of sub-covers 312 are provided, one located on the upper side and the other located on the lower side, facing each other with the filling space 140 therebetween.

[0156]

[0178] Seven sub-covers 312 located on the upper side are provided and arranged to cover the upper sides of the seven filling spaces 140 formed between the eight reinforcing ribs 130 (i.e., the first reinforcing ribs 131), respectively. Seven sub-covers 312 located on the lower side are also provided and arranged to cover the lower sides of the seven filling spaces 140, respectively.

[0157]

[0179] The sub-cover 312 is continuous with the main cover 311. The main cover 311 and the sub-cover 312 may be continuous at a predetermined angle. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the sub-cover 312 and the main cover 311 extend perpendicular to each other.

[0158]

[0180] Since the sub-cover 312 and the main cover 311 are arranged to be continuous with each other, the sound absorbing member 320 accommodated in the filling space 140 is not arbitrarily exposed to the outside. As a result, damage to the sound absorbing member 320 due to the external environment can be prevented.

[0159]

[0181] Referring to FIG. 5, a process of installing the vibration reduction part 300 according to an embodiment on the wall part 110 is shown.

[0160]

[0182] 5(a), the sound absorbing member 320 is accommodated in the filling space 140. As described above, the filling space 140 is partitioned into a plurality of small spaces by a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 131 and second reinforcing ribs 132. The sound absorbing member 320 can be accommodated in each of the partitioned small spaces.

[0161]

[0183] At this time, it is preferable that the sub-cover 312 that covers the filling space 140 in the height direction, i.e., from the upper and lower sides, is already attached. That is, in the above embodiment, the sub-cover 312 can limit the extension distance of the filling space 140 in the upper and lower directions. Therefore, the amount of the sound absorbing material 320 to be filled in the filling space 140 can be accurately calculated, and the work efficiency can be improved.

[0162]

[0184] 5(b) shows a state in which the sound absorbing member 320 is filled in the filling space 140 and then the main cover 311 is coupled thereto. The main cover 311 is coupled to the wall part 110, covering the first reinforcing ribs 131, the second reinforcing ribs 132, the filling space 140 formed therebetween, and the sound absorbing member 320 accommodated therein.

[0163]

[0185] In the illustrated embodiment, the rear side of the main cover 311 may be respectively coupled to the front side of the first reinforcing rib 131 and the second reinforcing rib 132. Also, the upper edge and the lower edge of the main cover 311 may be respectively coupled to and continuous with the front edge of the sub-cover 312.

[0164]

[0186] Although not shown in the drawings, a fastening member may be provided to maintain a coupled state between the main cover 311 and the wall portion 110. The fastening member (not shown) may be provided in the form of a screw member or the like that is coupled to the main cover 311 and the first reinforcing rib 131 through the main cover 311.

[0165]

[0187] The sound absorbing member 320 may be made of any material capable of transmitting and absorbing external vibrations or noise. In one embodiment, the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of urethane foam. Alternatively, the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of materials such as styrofoam, rubber, etc.

[0166]

[0188] The sound absorbing member 320 is accommodated in the filling space 140. In an embodiment in which the sound absorbing member 320 is made of urethane foam, the sound absorbing member 320 may be filled into the filling space 140 by a spraying method.

[0167]

[0189] In an embodiment in which the sound absorbing member 320 is made of polystyrene foam or rubber, the sound absorbing member 320 may be formed into a shape corresponding to the shape of the divided small spaces. In the above embodiment, the sound absorbing member 320 may be inserted and coupled to each of the small spaces.

[0168]

[0190] The sound absorbing member 320 housed in the filled space 140 can be sealed to block any communication with the outside. That is, in the illustrated embodiment, the housed sound absorbing member 320 is surrounded in the left-right direction by the first reinforcing rib 131. The housed sound absorbing member 320 is also surrounded in the up-down direction by the sub-cover 312, its front side by the main cover 311, and its rear side by the wall body portion 110, which in the illustrated embodiment is the first wall 111.

[0169]

[0191] Therefore, the vibration reduction part 300 according to the present embodiment is configured to fill the filling space 140 formed between the reinforcing ribs 130 already provided in the wall part 110 with the sound absorbing member 320. The filled sound absorbing member 320 can absorb the vibration or noise transmitted from the current carrying part 200. As a result, the amount of vibration or noise radiated to the outside of the transformer 10 can be reduced.

[0170]

[0192] Furthermore, the filling space 140 is already formed in the wall portion 110. Therefore, since an excessive design change is not required in order to provide the vibration reduction portion 300 according to this embodiment, workability can be improved.

[0171]

[0193] 6 shows a modified example of the vibration reduction section 300 according to the present embodiment. In this modified example, the vibration reduction section 300 further includes a communication hole 330 and a plug member 340.

[0172]

[0194] In this modification, the cover member 310 may be first coupled to the wall portion 110, and then filled with the sound absorbing member 320. The structure and function of the cover member 310 are the same as those of the cover member 310 according to the above-described embodiment, and therefore, a duplicated description will be omitted below.

[0173]

[0195] In this modification, the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of a material that is flowable but hardens after a certain period of time has passed, i.e., the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of urethane foam.

[0174]

[0196] The communication hole 330 communicates the filling space 140, which is surrounded and sealed by the cover member 310, with the outside. The communication hole 330 is formed through the cover member 310 and functions as a passage through which the sound absorbing member 320 can be injected. In the embodiment shown, the communication hole 330 is formed through the sub-cover 312 located on the upper side. Although not shown in the figure, the communication hole 330 may also be formed through the sub-cover 312 located on the lower side.

[0175]

[0197] A plurality of communication holes 330 may be formed. The plurality of communication holes 330 may be formed penetrating each of the plurality of sub-covers 312. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the communication holes 330 are formed in each of the seven sub-covers 312, for a total of seven communication holes 330.

[0176]

[0198] Therefore, an operator can inject the sound absorbing material 320 by inserting a gun or the like into the filling space 140 through the communication hole 330 and spraying the sound absorbing material 320 .

[0177]

[0199] Once the injection of the sound absorbing material 320 is completed, the communication hole 330 must be closed to prevent any exposure of the sound absorbing material 320. For this purpose, the vibration reducer 300 according to this modified example includes a plug member 340.

[0178]

[0200] The plug member 340 is inserted and coupled into the communication hole 330 to close the communication hole 330. The plug member 340 blocks any communication between the filling space 140 and the sound absorbing member 320 accommodated in the filling space 140 and the outside.

[0179]

[0201] A plurality of plug members 340 may be provided. The plurality of plug members 340 may be inserted and coupled to the plurality of communication holes 330, respectively. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, seven plug members 340 are provided and inserted into the seven communication holes 330, respectively.

[0180]

[0202] In the illustrated embodiment, the plug member 340 is formed by a plurality of cylinders having different cross-sectional areas successively arranged in the height direction. The shape of the plug member 340 can be changed according to the shape of the communication hole 330.

[0181]

[0203] As described above, in an embodiment in which the communication holes 330 are also formed in the lower sub-cover 312, the plug members 340 may also be provided in the same number as the communication holes 330 formed in the lower sub-cover 312 and configured to block each communication hole 330.

[0182]

[0204] In the vibration reduction unit 300 according to this modification, the cover member 310 is first coupled to the wall body portion 110, and then the sound absorbing member 320 is filled in. In this case, an operator can easily install the vibration reduction unit 300 by injecting the sound absorbing member 320 into the filling space 140 using a member such as a gun, and then closing the communication hole 330 using the plug member 340.

[0183]

[0205] 7, another modified example of the vibration reduction unit 300 according to the present embodiment is shown. In this modified example, the cover member 310 may be first coupled to the wall unit 110, and then the sound absorbing member 320 may be filled in. The structure and function of the cover member 310 are the same as those of the cover member 310 according to the above-described embodiment, and therefore, a duplicated description will be omitted below.

[0184]

[0206] In this modification, the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of a material that is flowable but hardens after a certain period of time has passed, i.e., the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of urethane foam.

[0185]

[0207] In this modified example, the main cover 311 is disposed spaced apart from the first reinforcing rib 131 in the thickness direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the front-rear direction.

[0186]

[0208] That is, referring to (b) of FIG. 7, the thickness of the first reinforcing rib 131 can be defined as a first distance d1, the thickness of the filled sound-absorbing material 320 can be defined as a second distance d2, and the longest distance between the main cover 311 and the wall portion 110 can be defined as a third distance d3.

[0187]

[0209] In the above embodiment, the difference between the second distance d2 and the first distance d1 may be understood as the distance between the main cover 311 and the first reinforcing rib 131. In this case, the difference between the third distance d3 and the second distance d2 may be understood as the thickness of the main cover 311.

[0188]

[0210] As a result, a predetermined space is formed between the surfaces where the main cover 311 and the first reinforcing rib 131 face each other, that is, in the illustrated embodiment, between the rear side surface of the main cover 311 and the front side surface of the first reinforcing rib 131. It will be understood that the predetermined space between the main cover 311 and the first reinforcing rib 131 has a width equal to the difference between the distance d1 and the second distance d2.

[0189]

[0211] Therefore, the plurality of small spaces divided into the filling space 140 by the plurality of reinforcing ribs 130 may be in communication with each other through the predetermined space. As a result, even if the vibration reducer 300 according to this modified example has a single communication hole (not shown), the sound absorbing material 320 injected into one of the small spaces may flow into another small space through the communication hole (not shown).

[0190]

[0212] This can simplify the process of producing the vibration reduction section 300 and the process of joining the vibration reduction section 300 to the wall section 110.

[0191]

[0213] 8, there is shown another modified example of the vibration reduction portion 300 according to the present embodiment. In this modified example, the vibration reduction portion 300 further includes a communication portion 350.

[0192]

[0214] In this modification, the cover member 310 may first be coupled to the wall portion 110, and then filled with the sound absorbing member 320. The structure and function of the cover member 310 are the same as those of the cover member 310 according to the above-described embodiment, and therefore, a duplicated description will be omitted below.

[0193]

[0215] In this modification, the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of a material that is flowable but hardens after a certain period of time has passed, i.e., the sound absorbing member 320 may be made of urethane foam.

[0194]

[0216] In this modified example, the main cover 311 is disposed adjacent to the first reinforcing rib 131. In one embodiment, the main cover 311 may be disposed so as to contact the first reinforcing rib 131.

[0195]

[0217] The main cover 311 is provided with a communication portion 350. The communication portion 350 protrudes outward from the main cover 311 and is formed to extend along one extension direction of the main cover 311. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, the communication portion 350 protrudes from one side opposite the wall portion 110, i.e., the front side. The communication portion 350 is formed to extend in one extension direction of the main cover 311, which in the illustrated embodiment is the left-right direction.

[0196]

[0218] The inner surface of the communication part 350, i.e., the surface facing the wall part 110, can be formed as a depression. That is, the inside of the communication part 350 is formed as a space depressed in the surface of the main cover 311 facing the wall part 110. Therefore, the communication part 350 can function as a flow path extending along the left-right direction of the main cover 311.

[0197]

[0219] The communication part 350 may communicate with each of a plurality of small spaces formed by partitioning the filling space 140. That is, each end of the communication part 350 in the extension direction may communicate with each of the small spaces formed on the outermost sides. In the illustrated embodiment, the left end of the communication part 350 may communicate with the small space located on the leftmost side. The right end of the communication part 350 may communicate with the small space located on the rightmost side.

[0198]

[0220] Therefore, in the above embodiment, the sound absorbing member 320 injected into one of the small spaces can flow to another small space through the communication part 350. As a result, even if a single communication hole (not shown) is formed in the vibration reduction part 300, the sound absorbing member 320 injected into one small space can flow to another small space through the communication hole (not shown).

[0199]

[0221] In the illustrated embodiment, a single communication portion 350 is formed. Alternatively, a plurality of communication portions 350 may be formed and disposed spaced apart from each other in the height direction of the main cover 311.

[0200]

[0222] 8(b), the thickness of the main cover 311 can be defined as a first thickness t1, and the protruding length of the communication part 350 can be defined as a second thickness t2. That is, it will be understood that the second thickness t2 is the vertical distance between the inner surface of the main cover 311 and the outer end of the communication part 350.

[0201]

[0223] In the above embodiment, the second thickness t2 may be greater than or equal to the first thickness t1. The difference between the second thickness t2 and the first thickness t1 may be defined as the thickness of the space that communicates the plurality of small spaces. As described above, the sound absorbing member 320 may flow when the plurality of small spaces defined by the space, i.e., the space formed inside the communication portion 350, communicate with each other.

[0202]

[0224] Therefore, the multiple small spaces divided by the multiple reinforcing ribs 130 in the filling space 140 can be connected to each other by the communication part 350. As a result, even if the vibration reduction part 300 according to this modified example has a single communication hole (not shown), the sound absorbing material 320 injected into one of the small spaces can flow to another small space through the communication hole (not shown).

[0203]

[0225] This can simplify the manufacturing process of the vibration reduction portion 300 and the manufacturing process of joining the vibration reduction portion 300 to the wall portion 110.

[0204]

[0226] 4. Description of vibration reduction unit 400 according to another embodiment of the present invention

[0217]

[0240] The core support member 410 is coupled to the transmission member 420 via the support frame 230 .

[0218]

[0241] The transmission member 420 transmits the vibration or noise transmitted from the iron core member 210 to the support frame 230. At this time, the transmission member 420 can absorb a predetermined amount of vibration or noise to reduce the vibration or noise transmitted to the housing 100.

[0219]

[0242] The transmission member 420 is coupled to the wall portion 110 and the support frame 230, respectively. The transmission member 420 is continuous between the wall portion 110 and the support frame 230. As described below, the wall portion 110 is provided with a housing coupling member 430, so it can be said that the transmission member 420 is coupled to the support frame 230 and the housing coupling member 430, respectively.

[0220]

[0243] The transmission member 420 is formed to extend in the width direction of the core member 210, which in the illustrated embodiment is the front-rear direction. One end of the transmission member 420 in the extension direction is connected to a housing connecting member 430 provided on the wall portion 110. The other end of the transmission member 420 in the extension direction is connected to the support frame 230.

[0221]

[0244] The transmission member 420 may be formed of a rigid body. The transmission member 420 may transmit vibrations or noise transmitted from the iron core member 210 and the support frame 230 to the wall portion 110 of the housing 100.

[0222]

[0245] A plurality of transmission members 420 may be provided.

[0246] The transmission member 420 may be coupled to a single support frame 230 at different positions from each other, that is, the support frame 230 may be coupled to the transmission member 420 at a plurality of points.

[0224]

[0247] In the illustrated embodiment, the transmission member 420 includes a first transmission member 421 located on the front side of the support frame 230 and a second transmission member 422 located on the rear side thereof.

[0225]

[0248] The first transmission member 421 connects one side of the support frame 230 and one wall portion 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the first transmission member 421 is coupled to a front side of the support frame 230 and a first coupling member 431 coupled to the first wall 111, respectively.

[0226]

[0249] The first transmission member 421 extends between the front side of the support frame 230 and the first coupling member 431. In the illustrated embodiment, the first transmission member 421 extends in the front-rear direction, with its front end coupled to the first coupling member 431 and its rear end coupled to the front side surface of the support frame 230.

[0227]

[0250] The second transmission member 422 connects the other side of the support frame 230 to the other wall portion 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the second transmission member 422 is coupled to a rear side of the support frame 230 and a second coupling member 432 coupled to the fourth wall 114, respectively.

[0230]

[0253] The vibration or noise transmitted through the transmission member 420 is transmitted to the housing connecting member 430 .

[0231]

[0254] The housing coupling member 430 is configured to reduce vibrations or noise transmitted through the transmission member 420. The housing coupling member 430 can minimize vibrations or noise transmitted to the housing 100, specifically, to the wall portion 110. This can also reduce vibrations or noise radiated from the wall portion 110 to the outside of the transformer 10.

[0232]

[0255] The housing coupling member 430 is coupled to the housing 100. Specifically, the housing coupling member 430 is coupled to an inner surface of the wall portion 110. The housing coupling member 430 is received in the receiving space 120 of the housing 100 and is not exposed to the outside.

[0233]

[0256] There may be a plurality of housing coupling members 430. The plurality of housing coupling members 430 may be coupled to the inner surfaces of different wall portions 110. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 to Fig. 13, the housing coupling members 430 are coupled to the first wall 111 located on the front side and the fourth wall 114 located on the rear side, respectively.

[0234]

[0257] A plurality of housing joining members 430 may be arranged spaced apart along other directions in which the iron core member 210 extends. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 to Fig. 13, the housing joining members 430 are arranged spaced apart from each other on the upper and lower sides along the vertical direction.

[0235]

[0258] The housing coupling member 430 disposed on the upper side is coupled to the transmission member 420 disposed on the upper side, and the housing coupling member 430 disposed on the lower side is coupled to the transmission member 420 disposed on the lower side.

[0236]

[0259] The housing coupling member 430 may be made of any material capable of reducing vibration or noise transmitted from the transmission member 420. In one embodiment, the housing coupling member 430 may be made of a urethane foam, cork, or rubber material.

[0237]

[0260] The housing coupling member 430 may have any shape that can reduce transmitted vibration or noise by being coupled to the wall portion 110 and the transmission member 420, respectively. In the embodiment shown, the housing coupling member 430 is a polygonal column including a pair of faces that are coupled to the wall portion 110 and the transmission member 420, respectively, and are arranged to face each other.

[0238]

[0261] In the embodiment shown, the housing coupling member 430 includes a first coupling member 431 and a second coupling member 432 .

The second coupling member 432 is coupled to the fourth wall 114 positioned on the rear side and the second transmission member 422 positioned offset to the rear side.

[0241]

[0264] Therefore, in the vibration reduction part 400 according to this embodiment, vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 can be primarily reduced by the iron core support member 410 and then transmitted to the housing connecting member 430 via the transmission member 420.

[0242]

[0265] In addition, the transmitted vibration or noise is reduced again by the housing coupling member 430 and then transmitted to the wall portion 110. As a result, the amount of vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying portion 200 that is radiated to the outside of the transformer 10 can be reduced.

[0243]

[0266] 11, there is shown a modified example of the vibration reduction section 400 according to this embodiment. In this modified example, the vibration reduction section 400 further includes an elastic member 440.

[0244]

[0267] In this modification, the support frame 230 and the housing connecting member 430 may be connected by a plurality of members. That is, in this modification, the support frame 230 and the housing connecting member 430 are connected by the transmission member 420 and the elastic member 440.

[0245]

[0268] The structures and functions of the core support member 410 and the housing joining member 430 in this modified example are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, so that a duplicated description will be omitted below.

[0246]

[0269] The elastic member 440 is located between the support frame 230 and the transmission member 420, or between the transmission member 420 and the housing coupling member 430. In the embodiment shown, the elastic member 440 is located between the transmission member 420 and the housing coupling member 430.

[0247]

[0270] The elastic member 440 extends between the transmission member 420 and the housing connecting member 430. One end of the elastic member 440 in its extension direction can be connected to the transmission member 420, and the other end can be connected to the housing connecting member 430.

[0248]

[0271] The elastic member 440 may be provided in any form capable of being deformed into a predetermined shape and reducing applied vibration or noise. That is, the elastic member 440 may be formed to have a predetermined elasticity. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member 440 is provided as a coil spring.

[0249]

[0272] The elastic member 440 may be coupled at a plurality of locations with the transmission member 420 and the housing coupling member 430, respectively. In the embodiment shown, the elastic member 440 is located adjacent the upper and lower sides of the core member 210, respectively.

[0250]

[0273] A plurality of elastic members 440 may be provided. The plurality of elastic members 440 may be configured to support a single support frame 230 in different directions. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic members 440 include a first elastic member 441 located on the front side and a second elastic member 442 located on the rear side. The first elastic member 441 and the second elastic member 442 are disposed to face each other with the current-carrying section 200 therebetween.

[0251]

[0274] The first elastic member 441 is coupled to the first transmission member 421 and the first coupling member 431 located on the front side. The first elastic member 441 extends between the first transmission member 421 and the first coupling member 431.

[0252]

[0275] One end of the first elastic member 441 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is a front end, is connected to the first connecting member 431. The other end of the first elastic member 441 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is a rear end, is connected to the first transmission member 421.

[0253]

[0276] The first elastic member 441 elastically supports the support frame 230 and the first transmission member 421. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 can be reduced by the first elastic member 441 and transmitted to the first transmission member 421.

[0254]

[0277] In the above embodiment, the first elastic member 441 is deformed in its extension direction, i.e., in the left-right direction, to reduce vibration or noise. That is, the first elastic member 441 can function as a damper in the front-rear direction.

[0255]

[0278] The second elastic member 442 is coupled to the second transmission member 422 and the second coupling member 432 located on the rear side. The second elastic member 442 extends between the second transmission member 422 and the second coupling member 432.

[0256]

[0279] One end of the second elastic member 442 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is a front end, is coupled to the second transmission member 422. The other end of the second elastic member 442 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is a rear end, is coupled to the second coupling member 432.

[0257]

[0280] The second elastic member 442 elastically supports the support frame 230 and the second transmission member 422. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 can be reduced by the second elastic member 442 and transmitted to the second transmission member 422.

[0258]

[0281] In the above embodiment, the second elastic member 442 is deformed in its extension direction, i.e., in the left-right direction, to reduce vibration or noise. That is, the second elastic member 442 can function as a damper in the front-rear direction.

[0259]

[0282] Therefore, in the vibration reduction section 400 of this modified example, vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying section 200 are primarily reduced by the core support member 410, transmitted through the elastic member 440, reduced again, and transmitted to the housing connecting member 430.

[0260]

[0283] In addition, the transmitted vibration or noise is reduced again by the housing coupling member 430 and then transmitted to the wall portion 110. As a result, the amount of vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying portion 200 that is radiated to the outside of the transformer 10 can be reduced.

[0261]

[0284] 12, there is shown another modified example of the vibration reduction section 400 according to this embodiment. In this modified example, the vibration reduction section 400 further includes an elastic member 440.

[0262]

[0285] In this modified example, the support frame 230 and the housing connecting member 430 may be connected by an elastic member 440. That is, in this modified example, the transmission member 420 is not separately provided, and the support frame 230 and the housing connecting member 430 are connected only by the elastic member 440.

[0263]

[0286] In this modification, the structures and functions of the core support member 410 and the housing joining member 430 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, so that a duplicated description will be omitted below.

[0264]

[0287] In this modification, the elastic member 440 is located between the support frame 230 and the housing connecting member 430. The elastic member 440 extends between the support frame 230 and the housing connecting member 430. One end of the elastic member 440 in its extension direction can be connected to the support frame 230, and the other end can be connected to the housing connecting member 430.

[0265]

[0288] The elastic member 440 may be provided in any form capable of being deformed into a predetermined shape and reducing applied vibration or noise. That is, the elastic member 440 may be formed to have a predetermined elasticity. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member 440 is provided as a coil spring.

[0266]

[0289] The elastic member 440 may be coupled to the support frame 230 and the housing coupling member 430, respectively, at a plurality of locations. In the embodiment shown, the elastic member 440 is disposed adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the core member 210, respectively.

[0267]

[0290] A plurality of elastic members 440 may be provided. The plurality of elastic members 440 may be configured to support a single support frame 230 in different directions. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic members 440 include a first elastic member 441 located on the front side and a second elastic member 442 located on the rear side. The first elastic member 441 and the second elastic member 442 are disposed to face each other with the current-carrying section 200 therebetween.

[0268]

[0291] The first elastic member 441 is coupled to the front side of the support frame 230 and the first connecting member 431. The first elastic member 441 extends between the support frame 230 and the first connecting member 431.

[0269]

[0292] One end of the first elastic member 441 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the front end, is connected to the first connecting member 431. The other end of the first elastic member 441 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the rear end, is connected to the support frame 230.

[0270]

[0293] The first elastic member 441 elastically supports the support frame 230 and the first connecting member 431. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 can be reduced by the first elastic member 441 and transmitted to the first connecting member 431.

[0271]

[0294] In the above embodiment, the first elastic member 441 is deformed in its extension direction, i.e., in the left-right direction, to reduce vibration or noise. That is, the first elastic member 441 can function as a damper in the front-rear direction.

[0272]

[0295] The second elastic member 442 is coupled to the support frame 230 and the second coupling member 432 located on the rear side. The second elastic member 442 extends between the support frame 230 and the second coupling member 432.

[0273]

[0296] One end of the second elastic member 442 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the front end, is coupled to the support frame 230. The other end of the second elastic member 442 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the rear end, is coupled to the second coupling member 432.

[0274]

[0297] The second elastic member 442 elastically supports the support frame 230 and the second connecting member 432. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 can be reduced by the second elastic member 442 and transmitted to the second connecting member 432.

[0275]

[0298] In the above embodiment, the second elastic member 442 is deformed in its extension direction, i.e., in the left-right direction, to reduce vibration or noise. That is, the second elastic member 442 can function as a damper in the front-rear direction.

[0276]

[0299] Therefore, in the vibration reduction section 400 of this modified example, vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying section 200 can also be primarily reduced by the core support member 410, transmitted through the elastic member 440, reduced again, and transmitted to the housing connecting member 430.

[0277]

[0300] In addition, the transmitted vibration or noise is reduced again by the housing coupling member 430 and then transmitted to the wall portion 110. As a result, the amount of vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying portion 200 that is radiated to the outside of the transformer 10 can be reduced.

[0278]

[0301] 13, there is shown another modified example of the vibration reduction section 400 according to this embodiment. In this modified example, the vibration reduction section 400 further includes an elastic member 440.

[0279]

[0302] In this modified example, the support frame 230 and the wall portion 110 may be connected by an elastic member 440. That is, in this modified example, the transmission member 420 and the housing connecting member 430 are not separately provided, and the support frame 230 and the wall portion 110 are connected only by the elastic member 440.

[0280]

[0303] In this modification, the structures and functions of the core support member 410 and the housing joining member 430 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, so that a duplicated description will be omitted below.

[0281]

[0304] In this modification, the elastic member 440 is located between the support frame 230 and the wall portion 110. The elastic member 440 extends between the support frame 230 and the wall portion 110. One end of the elastic member 440 in its extension direction can be coupled to the support frame 230, and the other end can be coupled to the wall portion 110.

[0282]

[0305] The elastic member 440 may be provided in any form capable of being deformed into a predetermined shape and reducing applied vibration or noise. That is, the elastic member 440 may be formed to have a predetermined elasticity. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member 440 is provided as a coil spring.

[0283]

[0306] The elastic member 440 may be coupled at a plurality of locations to the support frame 230 and the wall portion 110, respectively. In the embodiment shown, the elastic member 440 is located adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the core member 210, respectively.

[0284]

[0307] A plurality of elastic members 440 may be provided. The plurality of elastic members 440 may be configured to support a single support frame 230 in different directions. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic members 440 include a first elastic member 441 located on the front side and a second elastic member 442 located on the rear side. The first elastic member 441 and the second elastic member 442 are disposed opposite to each other with the current-carrying section 200 interposed therebetween.

[0285]

[0308] The first elastic member 441 is coupled to the first wall 111 located on the front side and the first connecting member 431. The first elastic member 441 extends between the first wall 111 and the first connecting member 431.

[0286]

[0309] One end of the first elastic member 441 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is a front end, is coupled to the first wall 111. The other end of the first elastic member 441 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is a rear end, is coupled to the support frame 230.

[0287]

[0310] The first elastic member 441 elastically supports the support frame 230 and the first wall 111. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 can be reduced by the first elastic member 441 and transmitted to the first wall 111.

[0288]

[0311] In the above embodiment, the first elastic member 441 is deformed in its extension direction, i.e., in the left-right direction, to reduce vibration or noise. That is, the first elastic member 441 can function as a damper in the front-rear direction.

[0289]

[0312] The second elastic member 442 is coupled to the support frame 230 and the fourth wall 114 located on the rear side. The second elastic member 442 extends between the support frame 230 and the fourth wall 114.

[0290]

[0313] One end of the second elastic member 442 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the front end, is coupled to the support frame 230. The other end of the second elastic member 442 in the extension direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the rear end, is coupled to the fourth wall 114.

[0291]

[0314] The second elastic member 442 elastically supports the support frame 230 and the fourth wall 114. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 can be reduced by the second elastic member 442 and transmitted to the fourth wall 114.

[0292]

[0315] In the above embodiment, the second elastic member 442 is deformed in its extension direction, i.e., in the left-right direction, to reduce vibration or noise. That is, the second elastic member 442 can function as a damper in the front-rear direction.

[0293]

[0316] Therefore, in the vibration reduction section 400 according to this modification, vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying section 200 can also be primarily reduced by the core support member 410, transmitted via the elastic member 440, reduced again, and transmitted to the wall section 110. This can reduce the amount of vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying section 200 that is radiated outside the transformer 10.

[0294]

[0317] 5. Description of vibration reduction unit 500 according to another embodiment of the present invention

[0295]

[0319] Specifically, the vibration reduction unit 500 is coupled to the wall unit 110 of the housing 100 and configured to reduce vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying unit 200 and transmitted to the housing 100 .

[0296]

[0320] The vibration reduction portion 500 is accommodated in the accommodation space 120 and coupled to the inner surface of the wall portion 110. A plurality of vibration reduction portions 500 may be provided on one or more of the first to fifth walls 111, 112, 113, 114, and 115 surrounding the accommodation space 120. The vibration reduction portion 500 may also be provided on a lower wall not shown in the figure.

[0297]

[0321] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the vibration reduction portion 500 is coupled to the inner surface of the second wall 112 located on the left side.

[0298]

[0322] The vibration reduction unit 500 does not directly contact the current-carrying unit 200. That is, the vibration reduction unit 500 is configured to reduce vibration or noise transmitted through a fluid, for example, air, in the accommodation space 120. In one embodiment, the vibration reduction unit 500 can reduce vibration or noise generated by using a resonance phenomenon. In the embodiment, the vibration reduction unit 500 can be defined as a resonator.

[0299]

[0323] In the embodiment shown, the vibration reduction portion 500 includes a first frame 510 , a second frame 520 , a pipe member 530 , a through hole 540 , a resonance space 550 , and a partition wall 560 .

[0300]

[0324] The first frame 510 forms a part of the outer shape of the vibration reduction unit 500. The first frame 510 is coupled to the second frame 520 to form the outer shape of the vibration reduction unit 500. The first frame 510 can be detachably coupled to the second frame 520 in the height direction of the vibration reduction unit 500, which in the illustrated embodiment is the up-down direction.

[0301]

[0325] In the illustrated embodiment, the first frame 510 is positioned above the second frame 520 and is formed to cover the resonance space 550 formed inside the second frame 520. Thus, the first frame 510 can be defined as a cover of the vibration reduction unit 500.

[0302]

[0326] The first frame 510 is a portion of the vibration reduction unit 500 exposed to the accommodation space 120. The first frame 510 is a portion of the vibration reduction unit 500 facing the accommodation space 120. In other words, the first frame 510 is positioned to face the current-carrying unit 200. The first frame 510 is disposed opposite the wall unit 110 with the second frame 520 interposed therebetween.

[0303]

[0327] A pipe member 530 is connected to the inside of the first frame 510. The pipe member 530 may extend in the thickness direction of the first frame 510 inside the first frame 510, or in the vertical direction in the embodiment shown in FIG.

[0304]

[0328] A through hole 540 is formed through the inside of the first frame 510. The through hole 540 is located adjacent to the pipe member 530 and configured to reduce vibration or noise transmitted together with the pipe member 530.

[0305]

[0329] The first frame 510 may be divided into a plurality of regions. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 16, the first frame 510 may be formed by a plurality of modules M. In the embodiment, the plurality of modules M may be provided in three each in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, so that a total of nine modules M may form the first frame 510.

[0306]

[0330] The first frame 510 may have any shape in which the pipe member 530 is penetratingly connected thereto, through holes 540 are formed therethrough, and the first frame 510 can be connected to the second frame 520. In the illustrated embodiment, the first frame 510 is formed in the shape of a plate having a rectangular cross section and a thickness in the vertical direction.

[0307]

[0331] In the embodiment shown, the first frame 510 includes a first side 511 and a second side 512 .

[0308]

[0332] The first surface 511 forms one surface of the first frame 510 facing the current-carrying part 200, that is, the upper surface in the illustrated embodiment. The first surface 511 is a portion of the first frame 510 exposed to the accommodation space 120.

[0309]

[0333] A second surface 512 is formed so as to face the first surface 511 .

[0310]

[0334] The second surface 512 forms the other surface of the first frame 510 opposite the current-carrying part 200, which in the illustrated embodiment is the lower surface. The second surface 512 is the surface of the first frame 510 that is not exposed to the accommodation space 120. In other words, the second surface 512 can be defined as the surface of the first frame 510 facing the second frame 520.

[0311]

[0335] The first surface 511 and the second surface 512 may be disposed at a predetermined distance apart. The length of the through hole 540 may be determined according to the distance between the first surface 511 and the second surface 512. As will be described later, the frequency of vibration or noise that can be cancelled through a resonance phenomenon may be adjusted according to the length of the through hole 540.

[0312]

[0336] That is, the thickness of the first frame 510 can be adjusted to adjust the frequency of vibration or noise that can be cancelled by the through hole 540. This will be described in detail later.

[0313]

[0337] The second frame 520 forms another part of the outer shape of the vibration reduction unit 500. The second frame 520 is coupled to the first frame 510 to form the outer shape of the vibration reduction unit 500. The second frame 520 may be detachably coupled to the first frame 510 in the height direction of the vibration reduction unit 500, which in the illustrated embodiment is the up-down direction.

[0314]

[0338] In the embodiment shown, the second frame 520 is located below the first frame 510. The second frame 520 may thereby be defined as the body of the vibration reduction part 500.

[0315]

[0339] The second frame 520 is a portion where the vibration reduction unit 500 is joined to the wall unit 110. The second frame 520 is a portion of the vibration reduction unit 500 facing the wall unit 110. In other words, the second frame 520 is located opposite the current-carrying unit 200. The second frame 520 is disposed to face the current-carrying unit 200 with the first frame 510 in between.

[0316]

[0340] A plurality of resonance spaces 550 for reducing transmitted vibration or noise and partition walls 560 for partitioning the plurality of resonance spaces 550 are disposed inside the second frame 520. The partitioned plurality of resonance spaces 550 may overlap with the plurality of modules M forming the first frame 510 in the stacking direction, which in the illustrated embodiment is the vertical direction. That is, a single module M may be disposed so as to overlap with a single resonance space 550.

[0317]

[0341] The second frame 520 may be of any shape capable of accommodating the resonant space 550 and the bulkhead 560 therein to reduce transmitted vibration or noise. In the illustrated embodiment, the second frame 520 is a rectangular prism having a rectangular cross section and a thickness in the vertical direction. The shape of the second frame 520 may be changed according to the shape of the first frame 510.

[0318]

[0342] In the embodiment shown, the second frame 520 includes a frame perimeter 521 , a frame face 522 , and fastener holes 523 .

[0319]

[0343] The frame periphery 521 forms the periphery of the second frame 520. The frame periphery 521 surrounds the multiple resonance spaces 550 from the outside. The frame periphery 521 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the second frame 520. In the illustrated embodiment, the second frame 520 is a quadrangular prism, so the frame periphery 521 may be formed to have a quadrangular cross section.

[0320]

[0344] The frame periphery 521 may be aligned with the periphery of the first frame 510. That is, the periphery of the first frame 510 and the frame periphery 521 may be disposed on the same plane along their peripheries.

[0321]

[0345] The frame outer periphery 521 is continuous with the frame surface 522 .

[0322]

[0346] The frame surface 522 forms one surface of the second frame 520, which in the embodiment shown is the lower surface. The frame surface 522 is disposed to face the first frame 510 across the resonance space 550. The frame surface 522 surrounds the resonance space 550 from the other direction, which in the embodiment shown is the lower side.

[0323]

[0347] The frame surface 522 is a portion where the second frame 520 is coupled to the housing 100. That is, the frame surface 522 is coupled to the wall portion 110. For this reason, the outer side of the frame surface 522 may be formed to have the same shape as the inner surface of the wall portion 110.

[0324]

[0348] A fastening hole 523 is formed through the inside of the frame surface 522 .

[0325]

[0349] The fastening hole 523 is a space through which a fastening member (not shown) for connecting the second frame 520 to the wall portion 110 penetrates. The fastening hole 523 is formed in the frame surface 522 so as to penetrate therethrough.

[0326]

[0350] A plurality of fastening holes 523 may be formed. The plurality of fastening holes 523 may be disposed at different positions on the frame surface 522. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 17(b), four fastening holes 523 are provided. The four fastening holes 523 are positioned adjacent to each corner of the frame surface 522 having a rectangular cross section.

[0327]

[0351] At this time, the four fastening holes 523 are located inside the frame outer periphery 521, and fastening members (not shown) coupled to the fastening holes 523 are not exposed to the outside. Therefore, the disturbance of vibration or noise transmitted to the vibration reducer 500 is minimized, and the vibration reducer 500 can effectively reduce vibration or noise of a preset frequency.

[0328]

[0352] The fastening holes 523 may be aligned with a plurality of through holes (not shown) formed in the wall portion 110. In other words, the fastening holes 523 and the through holes (not shown) may be formed to have the same central axis.

[0329]

[0353] The pipe member 530 substantially serves to reduce vibration or noise of the vibration reduction unit 500. The vibration or noise generated in the current-carrying unit 200 passes through the inside of the pipe member 530 and advances to the resonance space 550, where it can be reduced by a resonance phenomenon.

[0330]

[0354] The pipe member 530 is coupled to the first frame 510. Specifically, the pipe member 530 may be coupled to the inside of the first frame 510 in a penetrating manner.

[0331]

[0355] The pipe member 530 may extend to a predetermined length. The extension length of the pipe member 530 may be greater than or equal to the thickness of the first frame 510, i.e., the distance between the first surface 511 and the second surface 512. Therefore, at least one of the ends of the pipe member 530 in the extension direction may protrude in the thickness direction of the first frame 510.

[0332]

[0356] In the embodiment shown, the lower end of the pipe member 530 protrudes in the thickness direction of the first frame 510. The end of the pipe member 530 is housed in the resonance space 550.

[0333]

[0357] Alternatively, the upper end of the pipe member 530 may protrude in the thickness direction of the first frame 510. In the above embodiment, the end of the pipe member 530 may be located in the receiving space 120.

[0334]

[0358] As another alternative, both the upper end and the lower end of the pipe member 530 may protrude in the thickness direction of the first frame 510. It will be understood that in the above embodiment, the upper end of the pipe member 530 is accommodated in the accommodation space 120, and the lower end is accommodated in the resonance space 550.

[0335]

[0359] A plurality of pipe members 530 may be provided. The plurality of pipe members 530 may be respectively arranged in a plurality of modules M that divide the first frame 510. In the embodiment shown, nine pipe members 530 are provided and arranged in nine modules M, respectively.

[0336]

[0360] At this time, as described above, the multiple modules M are arranged to cover the multiple resonance spaces 550, respectively. Therefore, in an embodiment in which the ends of the pipe members 530 protrude downward, each end of the multiple pipe members 530 can be located in the multiple resonance spaces 550, respectively.

[0337]

[0361] The pipe member 530 may be located at any position inside the module M. In the embodiment shown, the pipe member 530 is located at the center of the module M. In said embodiment, the center of the pipe member 530 and the center of the module M may be located on the same axis.

[0338]

[0362] A hollow is formed inside the pipe member 530. The hollow communicates the receiving space 120 with the resonance space 550 and can function as a passage through which vibration or noise can travel.

[0339]

[0363] The pipe member 530 is formed to have a predetermined cross-section, in the embodiment shown the pipe member 530 is formed to have a circular cross-section, but with a ring shape having a hollow formed therethrough.

[0340]

[0364] The extension length of the pipe member 530 and the cross-sectional area of ​​the hollow may act as factors of the resonant frequency generated by the vibration reduction unit 500. A detailed description of this will be given later.

[0341]

[0365] The through holes 540 substantially function to reduce vibration or noise of the vibration reduction unit 500. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying unit 200 may pass through the through holes 540 and advance to the resonance space 550, where they may be reduced by a resonance phenomenon.

[0342]

[0366] The through hole 540 is formed in the first frame 510. Specifically, the through hole 540 is formed penetrating the inside of the first frame 510 in the thickness direction of the first frame 510. In the illustrated embodiment, the through hole 540 is formed penetrating in the up-down direction.

[0343]

[0367] The extension length of the through hole 540 may be determined according to the thickness of the first frame 510. In other words, the through hole 540 may extend as far as the distance that the first surface 511 and the second surface 512 are separated from each other.

[0344]

[0368] A plurality of through holes 540 may be formed. The plurality of through holes 540 may be arranged in each of the plurality of modules M that define the first frame 510. In one embodiment, the plurality of through holes 540 may be arranged so as to surround the pipe member 530 from the radial outside.

[0345]

[0369] 15 to 18, eight through holes 540 are formed for each module M, and are arranged so as to surround the pipe member 530 arranged at the center from eight directions. In the embodiment, a total of 72 through holes 540 are provided.

[0346]

[0370] At this time, as described above, the multiple modules M are arranged so as to cover the multiple resonance spaces 550, respectively. Therefore, the eight through holes 540 formed in any one module M communicate with the same resonance space 550. Also, the through holes 540 formed in different modules M communicate with different resonance spaces 550, respectively.

[0347]

[0371] The number of through holes 540 may be changed. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 19, the through holes 540 formed in each module M are provided in two pairs arranged to face each other along the diagonal direction. In the embodiment, four through holes 540 are formed in each module M.

[0348]

[0372] The through hole 540 is formed to have a predetermined cross section. In the embodiment shown, the through hole 540 has a circular cross section and is a hollow shape extending in the thickness direction of the first frame 510.

[0349]

[0373] The extension length and cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 540 can be acted upon as factors in the resonant frequency generated by the vibration reduction unit 500, which will be described in detail later.

[0350]

[0374] The resonance space 550 is a space where vibrations or noises propagated through the pipe member 530 or the through hole 540 are cancelled out. The vibrations or noises propagated to the resonance space 550 can be reduced by a resonance phenomenon. As a result, the magnitude of the vibrations or noises radiated to the outside of the housing 100 combined with the vibration reduction part 500 can also be reduced.

[0351]

[0375] The resonance space 550 is a space formed inside the second frame 520. The resonance space 550 is surrounded by the first frame 510, the frame periphery 521, and the frame surface 522. In the embodiment shown, the horizontal periphery of the resonance space 550 is surrounded by the frame periphery 521. The lower side of the resonance space 550 is surrounded by the frame surface 522, and the upper side of the resonance space 550 is surrounded by the first frame 510.

[0352]

[0376] The resonance space 550 communicates with the accommodation space 120. Specifically, the resonance space 550 communicates with the accommodation space 120 through the pipe member 530 and the through hole 540. Vibrations or noise generated in the current-carrying part 200 may travel to the resonance space 550 through the pipe member 530 or the through hole 540.

[0353]

[0377] The resonance space 550 may be formed to have a predetermined volume. The volume of the resonance space 550 is used as a factor for determining the resonance frequency to be formed together with the shapes of the pipe member 530 and the through hole 540. A detailed description of this will be given later.

[0354]

[0378] The resonance space 550 may be divided into a plurality of small spaces. The divided small spaces may be respectively connected to the pipe members 530 and the through holes 540 provided in each module M. The division may be achieved by a plurality of partition walls 560.

[0355]

[0379] In the illustrated embodiment, the resonance space 550 is divided into nine small spaces, three in the front-rear direction and three in the left-right direction. The nine small spaces can be covered by nine modules M, respectively.

[0356]

[0380] In other words, the resonance space 550 may be a space partitioned into a plurality of spaces partitioned by partitions 560. That is, each of the partitioned small spaces may be defined as a resonance space 55. If the above definition is followed, it will be understood that nine resonance spaces 550 are formed in the illustrated embodiment.

[0357]

[0381] The resonance space 550 may have any shape capable of reducing the vibration or noise generated. In the illustrated embodiment, the resonance space 550 is a rectangular prism-shaped space having a rectangular cross section and a vertical height. The shape of the resonance space 550 may be changed depending on the shapes of the second frame 520 and the partition wall 560.

[0358]

[0382] The partitions 560 divide the resonance space 550 into a plurality of small spaces.

[0359]

[0383] The partition 560 is located in the resonance space 550. The partition 560 is formed to have a predetermined height. In one embodiment, the upper end of the partition 560 may be disposed on the same plane as the upper end of the frame outer periphery 521. In the embodiment, when the first frame 510 and the second frame 520 are joined together, the partitioned small spaces may be cut off from communicating with each other.

[0360]

[0373]

[0397] Therefore, the vibration reduction unit 500 according to the present embodiment can reduce vibrations or noises of various frequencies by changing the shapes of the pipe member 530, the through hole 540, and the resonance space 550. As a result, the vibrations or noises radiated to the outside through the housing 100 combined with the vibration reduction unit 500 can also be reduced.

[0374]

[0398] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned pipe member 530, through hole 540, and resonance space 550 may be formed to have different shapes. For example, the pipe member 530, the through hole 540, and the resonance space 550 may be formed to have different shapes for each module M.

[0375]

[0399] In the above embodiment, the multiple modules M constituting the vibration reduction unit 500 are configured to cancel out vibrations or noises of different types from each other. As a result, even if vibrations or noises of various frequencies are generated in the current-carrying unit 200, they can be reduced by the vibration reduction unit 500 and then radiated to the outside.

[0376]

[0400] As described above, the vibration isolating units 300, 400, and 500 according to the respective embodiments of the present invention may be provided in a single unit, because the vibration isolating units 300, 400, and 500 according to the respective embodiments are coupled to the housing 100 or the current-carrying unit 200 at different positions.

[0377]
