Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0004] Since a transformer such as a power distribution oil-filled transformer is generally
provided on a land, a shaking or vibrating action generated in the transportation
is taken into consideration. However, a shaking or inclining action caused by waves
is not considered for a case where the transformer is provided in a ship or a floating
wind power tower.
[0005] When the transformer is used in the ship or the floating wind power tower, the transformer
is normally shaken or inclined. As a result, there is a possibility that the core
or the coil may be deviated inside the tank of the transformer.
[0006] An object of the invention is to provide a transformer capable of withstanding a
shaking or inclining action of a core or a coil inside a tank of the transformer due
to external energy such as waves when the transformer is provided in a ship or a floating
wind power tower.
Solution to Problem
[0007] In order to solve the above-described problems, for example, the structure of claims
is employed.
[0008] The invention includes means for solving the problem of the related art. As an example,
a "transformer includes: a core; a coil which is wound around the core; upper and
lower core fasteners which fix the core in the vertical direction; and a tank which
accommodates the core, the coil, and the upper and lower core fasteners, wherein a
steadying brace of a core coil assembly obtained by assembling the core and the coil
is disposed in the upper core fastener, wherein the steadying brace includes a notch,
and wherein a projection having a shape to be fitted to the notch of the steadying
brace is disposed in the tank".
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0009] According to the invention, it is possible to provide a transformer capable of withstanding
a shaking or inclining action by employing a structure in which an entire core coil
assembly obtained by assembling a coil and a core inside a tank of the transformer
is fixed to the tank when the transformer such as an oil-filled transformer is provided
in a ship or a floating wind power tower.

Description of Embodiments
[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings.
(First Embodiment)
[0012] FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a core coil assembly of a transformer of a first
embodiment of the invention and FIG. 1B is a perspective view of components disassembled
from the core coil assembly of FIG. 1A.
[0013] In FIGS. 1A and 1B, Numeral 200 indicates a core coil assembly, Numerals 1 and 2
indicate lower core fasteners, Numerals 3 and 4 indicate studs which fasten two lower
core fasteners at the ends of the lower core fasteners in the longitudinal direction,
Numerals 5, 6, and 7 indicate coils, Numerals 8 and 9 indicate upper core fasteners,
Numerals 10 and 11 indicate studs which fasten two upper core fasteners at the ends
of the upper core fasteners in the longitudinal direction, Numeral 12 indicates a
layered core, and Numerals 13 and 14 indicate a steadying brace of the core coil assembly.
[0014] Numerals 15 to 22 indicate studs which fasten the upper core fasteners 8 and 9 to
the lower core fasteners 1 and 2, and Numerals 23 to 28 indicate insulation walls
which are sandwiched between the coil and the layered core 12.
[0015] In FIG. 1A, the coils 5, 6, and 7 are inserted into the layered core 12. The layered
core 12 may be of a strip type, a frame type, or a V-notch type, but herein the strip
type layered core will be described.
[0016] The strip type layered core has a structure in which silicon steel plates each cut
into a strip shape are layered so as to form a bridge and a yoke of a core. Then,
in a case where the coils 5, 6, and 7 are inserted into the core, one yoke is removed,
the coils are inserted into the core, and the yoke is returned to the original position
again, thereby assembling a three-phase tripod core. After the layered core 12 and
the coils 5, 6, and 7 are assembled to one another, two lower core fasteners 1 and
2 and two upper core fasteners 8 and 9 are disposed in parallel so as to face each
other, the layered core 12 is sandwiched therebtween, and the upper and lower core
fasteners are fastened by the studs 3, 4, 10, and 11.
[0017] Then, the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 and the upper core fasteners 8 and 9 are fastened
by the studs 15 to 22. Here, the lower core fastener and the upper core fastener have
a structure in which thin and elongated U-shaped metal plates are disposed so that
U-shaped bottom portions face each other, and the layered core 12 is sandwiched between
the bottom portions. Then, the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 and the upper core fasteners
8 and 9 are fastened by the studs 3, 4, 10, and 11. The fastening positions are set
on the longitudinal axes of the bottom portions other than the ends sandwiching the
layered core 12 while being located at the U-shaped bottom portions.
[0018] Further, each of the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 and the upper core fasteners 8
and 9 has a compact length in which the longitudinal length formed when three coils
5, 6, and 7 are inserted into the layered core 12 is increased by the length of the
studs fastening the upper and lower core fasteners to each other. Then, the positions
of the studs 15 to 22 fastening the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 and the upper core
fasteners 8 and 9 are formed at the upper sides of the U-shaped portions of the lower
core fasteners 1 and 2 and the lower sides of the U-shaped portions of the upper core
fasteners 8 and 9. Here, the positions of the studs are set as the points of both
ends of the upper and lower core fasteners and two points substantially dividing the
upper and lower core fasteners into three parts.
[0019] Next, the insulation walls 23 to 28 are provided among the coils 5, 6, and 7, the
upper core fasteners 8 and 9, and the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 so as to insulate
the coils from the layered core. Further, the insulation walls 23 to 28 also insulate
the coils from the upper and lower core fasteners. As the insulation wall, a press
board or kraft paper formed of epoxy and having excellent humidity resistance, heat
resistance, and oil resistance is generally employed to achieve an electric insulation
property.
[0020] The coils and the layered core are assembled, and the steadying braces 13 and 14
are disposed at the upper sides of the upper core fasteners 8 and 9 of the core coil
assembly 200 fastened by the upper and lower core fasteners. The steadying braces
13 and 14 are provided so as to connect the upper sides of two upper core fasteners
8 and 9 of which the U-shaped bottom portions face each other while the steadying
braces are perpendicular to the upper sides at the points substantially dividing the
upper surfaces into three parts. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 1C, each of the steadying
braces 13 and 14 is formed by a thin and elongated rectangular metal plate, and the
length of the steadying brace in the longitudinal direction is slightly shorter than
the length of the short side inside the tank of the transformer in order to accommodate
the steadying brace inside the tank of the transformer. Further, concave notches 131
and 132 are formed at the center positions of both ends of the short side of the steadying
brace 13. The steadying braces 13 and 14 are provided and fixed to the upper sides
of the U-shaped portions of the upper core fasteners 8 and 9 by screwing or welding.
[0021] Next, a tank 29 of the transformer will be described with reference to FIG. 1D.
[0022] FIG. 1D is a cross-sectional view of the tank 29 of the transformer. Here, the tank
29 extends in a direction in which the coils are arranged, and the cross-section of
the tank has a lateral rectangular shape.
[0023] Then, stays 291 to 294 each having a convex shape (a projection shape) are disposed
at two points substantially dividing the longitudinal length inside the tank into
three parts and two positions facing the two points inside the tank.
[0024] Next, FIG. 1E is a top view illustrating the inside of the tank when the core coil
assembly illustrated in FIG. 1A is accommodated inside the tank of the transformer.
[0025] FIG. 1E is a top view of the core coil assembly accommodated inside the tank of the
transformer, where the layered core 12 is sandwiched by two upper core fasteners 8
and 9, the longitudinal length of each upper core fastener is set to be slightly shorter
than the longitudinal length of the tank, and the studs 10 and 11 which fasten the
upper core fasteners 8 and 9 to each other are fastened at a position separated from
the layered core while being located at both ends of the core fastener.
[0026] Further, the steadying braces 13 and 14 of the core coil assembly are disposed at
the upper sides of the upper core fasteners 8 and 9 so as to be substantially perpendicular
to two points substantially dividing the upper and lower core fasteners into three
parts, and are also disposed so as to be substantially perpendicular to the tank of
the transformer.
[0027] Then, the concave notches 131, 132, 141, and 142 of the steadying braces 13 and 14
of the core coil assembly are respectively fitted to the stays 291 to 294 disposed
inside the tank of the transformer. FIG. 1E(b) is an enlarged view of the fitted state
(a part A of FIG. 1E), and FIG. 1E(c) is a perspective view of the fitted state.
[0028] FIGS. 1E(b) and 1E(c) illustrate a state where the stay inside the tank of the transformer
is fitted to the steadying brace of the core coil assembly, and the width t of the
stay 294 inside the tank 29 is smaller than the width T of the concave notch of the
steadying brace 14 by a slight gap.
[0029] Further, as illustrated in FIG. 1E(c), the thickness (L) of the stay inside the tank
of the transformer is thicker than the thickness (I) of the steadying brace 14 of
the core coil assembly in the height direction. This structure is used to prevent
the release of the fitting state when the transformer is shaken or inclined.
[0030] With such a structure, it is possible to perform a tanking operation by using the
stay as a guide when the core coil assembly is accommodated inside the tank of the
transformer in a suspended state.
(Second Embodiment)
[0031] Next, a second embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings.
[0032] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a core coil assembly of the second embodiment. Here,
this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the steadying brace
of the core coil assembly has a different shape.
[0033] Further, since this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment except for the
steadying brace, the description other than the steadying brace will not be presented.
[0034] In FIG. 2, steadying braces 30, 31, 32, and 33 are disposed on the upper sides of
the U-shaped portions of the upper core fasteners 8 and 9. Each of the steadying braces
30, 31, 32, and 33 is formed in a rectangular shape disposed at the upper side of
each core fastener instead of the shape of connecting two core fasteners 8 and 9 as
in the first embodiment, and the arrangement positions correspond to two points substantially
dividing the length of each of the core fasteners 8 and 9 in the longitudinal direction
into three parts. Then, concave notches 301, 311, 321, and 331 are respectively formed
at the center portions of the outer sides of the steadying braces 30, 31, 32, and
33.
[0035] Although not illustrated in the drawings, concave stays to be respectively fitted
to the concave notches 301, 311, 321, and 331 are formed inside the tank of the transformer.
[0036] In FIG. 2, the steadying braces 30 and 31 and the steadying braces 32 and 33 are
respectively disposed so as to face each other. However, the steadying braces can
be disposed at different positions and the number of the steadying braces can be increased.
(Third Embodiment)
[0037] Next, a third embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings.
[0038] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a core coil assembly of the third embodiment. Here,
this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the steadying brace
of the core coil assembly has a different structure.
[0039] Further, since this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment except for the
steadying brace, the description other than the steadying brace will not be presented.
[0040] In FIG. 3, the third embodiment has a structure in which the steadying braces of
the core coil assembly provided in the upper core fasteners 8 and 9 are integrated
with the core fasteners 8 and 9.
[0041] Steadying braces 34 to 37 are formed in a manner such that rectangular projections
are formed in the upper sides of the U-shaped portions of the upper core fasteners
8 and 9 and are bent or pressed.
[0042] Further, concave notches 341, 351, 361, and 371 are respectively formed at the center
portions of the front ends of the steadying braces integrated with the upper core
fasteners.
[0043] Then, the stays to be fitted to the steadying braces are disposed inside the tank
of the transformer.
[0044] According to the structure of the third embodiment, since the steadying braces are
integrated with the core fasteners without the need of screws or welding as in the
first and second embodiments, the steadying braces can be formed with high precision.
(Fourth Embodiment)
[0045] Next, a fourth embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings.
[0046] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a core coil assembly of the fourth embodiment. Here,
this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the steadying brace
is formed by a rectangular metal plate so as to connect two core fasteners 8 and 9
at both ends of the upper core fasteners differently from the arrangement of the steadying
braces of the first embodiment.
[0047] Then, concave notches 401 and 411 are respectively formed at the center portions
of the outer sides of both steadying braces 40 and 41 disposed at both ends of the
core fasteners 8 and 9.
[0048] Further, the stays to be fitted to the steadying braces 13 and 14 and the steadying
braces 40 and 41 are disposed inside the tank of the transformer.
[0049] In the structure of the fourth embodiment, the shaking action of the core coil assembly
200 in the longitudinal direction can be prevented by the steadying braces 13 and
14, the shaking action of the core coil assembly 200 in the lateral direction can
be prevented by the steadying braces 40 and 41, and hence the shaking action of the
core coil assembly within two dimensions inside the tank can be prevented.
(Fifth Embodiment)
[0050] Next, a fifth embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings.
[0051] FIG. 5A is a perspective view of a core coil assembly of the fifth embodiment. Here,
this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the steadying braces
are disposed at the lower sides of the lower core fasteners similarly to the steadying
braces disposed at the upper sides of the upper core fasteners differently from the
arrangement of the first embodiment.
[0052] That is, in FIG. 5A, this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in that the
steadying braces 13 and 14 of the thin and elongated rectangular core coil assembly
are disposed at the upper sides of the U-shaped portions of the upper core fasteners
8 and 9 so as to connect the upper core fasteners 8 and 9, but is different from the
first embodiment in that the steadying braces 50 and 51 each having the same size
as the upper steadying brace are disposed at the lower sides of the U-shaped portions
of the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 so as to connect two lower core fasteners 1 and
2 to each other.
[0053] By the structure of FIG. 5A, concave notches 501 and 511 are formed at the center
portions of both ends of the short sides of the lower steadying braces 50 and 51.
The steadying brace 13 provided in the upper core fasteners 8 and 9 and the steadying
brace 50 provided in the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 are disposed so as to match
each other in the vertical direction. Similarly, the upper steadying brace 14 and
the lower steadying brace 51 are disposed so as to match each other in the vertical
direction. As a result, the concave notches respectively formed in the steadying braces
match each other in the vertical direction. With such a structure, the core coil assembly
200 can be accommodated by using a stay 52 formed in the tank 29 of the transformer
as a guide as illustrated in FIG. 5B. FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating a state where
the rectangular parallelepiped stay (projection) 52 disposed perpendicularly inside
the tank 29 of the transformer is fitted to concave notches 132 and 501 of the upper
and lower steadying braces 13 and 50 of the core coil assembly 200.
[0054] The shaking action preventing structure at the upper and lower portions inside the
tank of the transformer can prevent the shaking or inclining action of the core coil
assembly with respect to the external shaking or inclining action of the transformer.
(Sixth Embodiment)
[0055] Next, a sixth embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings.
[0056] In the structure of the fifth embodiment, each of the steadying braces 13 and 14
of the upper core fastener 8 and the steadying braces 50 and 51 of the lower core
fastener 9 is formed by a thin and elongated rectangular metal plate. However, FIG.
6 is a perspective view of a core coil assembly in which the upper and lower steadying
braces are respectively integrated with the upper and lower core fasteners. In the
structure obtained by integrating the steadying braces, steadying braces 64 and 65
are integrated with the lower core fasteners 1 and 2 even in the sixth embodiment
as described in the third embodiment.
[0057] With such a structure of the sixth embodiment, since the steadying braces are integrated
with the core fastener, the steadying braces are formed with high precision, and hence
particularly the vertical positioning operation can be easily performed. Then, the
tanking operation can be smoothly performed.
(Seventh Embodiment)
[0058] Next, a seventh embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the
drawings.
[0059] FIG. 7A is a perspective view of a core coil assembly of a transformer of the seventh
embodiment, and FIG. 7B is a perspective view illustrating components disassembled
from the core coil assembly 200 of FIG. 7A. In FIGS. 7A and 7B, Numeral 70 indicates
a wound core, Numerals 71, 72, and 73 indicate coils, Numeral 74 indicates an upper
core fastener, Numeral 75 indicates a lower core fastener, Numerals 76 and 77 indicate
steadying braces of a core coil assembly, Numerals 78 to 85 indicate studs fastening
the upper core fastener 74 and the lower core fastener 75, and Numerals 86 to 91 indicate

[0060] In FIG. 7A, the coils 71, 72, and 73 are inserted into the wound core 70.
[0061] The wound core 70 has a structure illustrated in FIG. 7B. In a case where the coils
are inserted into the wound core, the upper wrap portion of the wound core is opened,
the coil is inserted thereinto, and the wound core and the coil are assembled by the
wrapping operation. At this time, insulation walls 86 to 91 are respectively interposed
between the wound core 70 and the coils 71, 72, and 73 so as to insulate the wound
core and the coil. Further, the insulation wall is also used to insulate the upper
core fastener 74 and the lower core fastener 75. A three-phase tripod core is assembled,
the wound core 70 and the coils 71, 72, and 73 are assembled, and the wound core 70
is fastened by the studs 78 to 85 while being sandwiched between the upper core fastener
74 and the lower core fastener 75 in the vertical direction.
[0062] Further, the structure of each of the upper core fastener 74 and the lower core fastener
75 is different from that of the first embodiment. In the structure, the front ends
of the sides of the thin and elongated U-shaped portions are bent so as to form flanges
99, the concave portions of the U-shaped portions sandwich the wound core 70 in the
vertical direction while being respectively formed as a reverse U-shape and a U-shape,
and the flanges 99 are fastened by the studs 78 to 85.
[0063] With this structure, the steadying braces 76 and 77 of the core coil assembly 200
are disposed in the reverse U-shaped flat portion of the U-shaped portion of the upper
core fastener 74.
[0064] The steadying braces 76 and 77 are formed by the thin and elongated rectangular metal
plate, are disposed on the flat portion of the upper surface of the upper core fastener
74 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and are fixed by screwing
or welding.
[0065] Further, concave notches 761, 762, 771, and 772 are respectively formed at the center
portions of both ends of the short sides of the steadying braces 76 and 77. Then,
the stays corresponding to the concave notches of the steadying braces 76 and 77 are
disposed inside the tank of the transformer similarly to the first embodiment. Accordingly,
in the structure of the seventh embodiment, the tanking operation is performed so
as to charge oil into the tank while the core coil assembly is accommodated in the
tank of the transformer. As a result, the transformer which is manufactured in this
way withstands a shaking action.
[0066] Next, an oil-filled transformer which accommodates the core coil assembly obtained
by assembling the core and the coil of the invention will be described. FIG. 8 is
a perspective view illustrating an appearance of the oil-filled core transformer equipped
with a core of a silicon steel plate or an amorphous thin strip. In FIG. 8, an oil-filled
core transformer 100 has a structure in which wave ribs 95 are provided in the peripheral
edge of the tank 29 storing insulation oil for insulating or cooling the coil attached
to the layered core or the wound core and are used to cool heat generated from the
coil or the core.
[0067] In FIG. 8, Numeral 96 indicates weld lines welded to the upper and lower positions
of the wave ribs 95 so as to prevent the deformation of the wave ribs 95 while giving
a strength thereto. Numeral 97 indicates primary terminals provided at the upper portion
of the tank 29 and connected to high-voltage power transmitted from a power plant.
Numeral 98 indicates secondary terminals provided at the upper portion of the tank
29 and transmitting a voltage increased or decreased by the transformer to a load
component.
[0068] Further, since the core coil assembly illustrated in FIG. 1A, that is, the assembly
in which the coil is disposed in the lateral direction is accommodated in the tank
29, the entire transformer is formed in a laterally elongated shape.
