The invention discloses a self-circulating evaporating cooling distribution transformer, relating to the technical field of transformers. The self-circulating evaporating cooling distribution transformer comprises a transformer body, a base and a grounded rod lifting device, wherein the transformer body is fixed on the base, the grounded rod lifting device comprises a first chute, a first contactroller, a first connection rod, a first electric push rod, a second chute, a second contact roller, a second connection rod, a second electric push rod and a grounded rod, a rotary shaft penetrates the upper end of the grounded rod, a round hole penetrates the middle of the base, and the upper part of the round hole is opposite to the lower end of the grounded rod. The two electric push rods are adopted as a power source so as to drive the middles of the two connection rods to move up and down, so that one end of each connection rod can move in the chute through the contact rollers, the otherend of each connection rod and the grounded rod that are coaxially connected move up and down as a whole, therefore, the grounded rod can insert into and pull out from ground automatically, manual operation intensity is relieved, and the grounded rod is replaced more efficiently.
