Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing substation frames face challenges of large material consumption, significant land occupation, and high construction costs due to the use of conventional materials and designs.
Innovation Solution
The proposed substation frame design incorporates a side wire attaching assembly on the side of the supporting posts facing away from the beam, allowing for expanded wire connections, reduced use of beams and posts, and the use of composite materials for beams and supporting parts to enhance compactness and reduce land occupation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional substation frame design is used, then structural strength is ensured, but material consumption is large and construction cost is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by integrating insulating components (made of insulating material) with supporting posts (made of conductive material) to form a unified substation frame structure. This composite approach reduces material consumption while maintaining structural strength and providing electrical insulation functionality simultaneously.
2Area of stationary object
If conventional beam and post configuration is used, then wire support capability is adequate, but land occupation is large
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting post is designed with multi-functionality: it provides mechanical support for the beam, serves as an electrical insulator through the integrated insulating component, and offers wire attachment capability through the side wire attaching assembly. This universal design reduces land occupation while maintaining adequate wire support capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The side wire attaching assembly extends the wire support capability to the lateral dimension (side of the supporting post), allowing wires to be attached not only from the top beam but also from the side of the supporting post. This dimensional expansion increases wire support capacity without requiring additional land area.
3Ease of repair
If conventional insulating materials are used, then insulation performance is achieved, but maintenance is required and operation cost is high
Solution Approach 1:
The insulating component is integrated as a permanent part of the supporting post structure, forming a composite material system that provides both mechanical support and electrical insulation. This integrated composite design eliminates the need for separate maintenance of insulating materials while maintaining reliable insulation performance throughout the structure's service life.

AI summary
The present application discloses a substation frame comprising: a supporting assembly comprising at least two supporting posts arranged at intervals, the at least two supporting posts comprising one side supporting post at each end; a beam assembly comprising a beam provided between every two adjacent supporting posts; and a side wire attaching assembly provided on at least one side supporting post and positioned on a side of the side supporting post facing away from the beam. By providing the wire attaching assembly on the side of the side supporting post facing away from the beam, and further providing one wire on the wire attaching assembly, the number of the wires that are connected can be expanded, the land occupation can be reduced, the use of the beams and the supporting posts can be reduced, the consumption amount of steel and basic materials can be reduced, and the construction cost can be reduced.
