[0002] Traditionally, the water-cooled and air-cooled heat dissipation structures of energy storage inverters with the same power have two different shells, with relatively large differences in structural size and appearance, and the internal structure layout is quite different. The cable connections are messy and complicated, which increases the system failure rate and maintenance difficulty. The structural parts have poor versatility, high manufacturing costs, and usually do not have flexible configuration and expansion capabilities. For example, if you need to produce water-cooled energy storage inverters, you need to allocate water-cooled related sheet metal shells, electrical parts, cable kits, water-cooled radiators, waterway-related connectors, etc.; if you need to produce air-cooled energy storage inverters, you also need to allocate sheet metal shells, electrical parts, cable kits, air-cooled radiators, etc. that match the air-cooled inverters. The different structural parts of the two increase manufacturing costs, inventory costs, and production costs. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a new energy storage inverter structure with a simple structure and a modular internal structure. The inverter is divided into multiple functional modules, such as a heat dissipation drive component, a control module, a filter module, etc., to improve assembly efficiency, and improve system reliability and maintainability; a cable-less design reduces cable failure rate and maintenance costs, makes the internal structure of the product neat and orderly, enhances product image, and improves system reliability.

[0008] It comprises a water pipe kit, and the water pipe kit is arranged on both sides of the water cooling radiator.

[0009] Furthermore, an AC side conductive member is provided at a position of the filter module away from the heat dissipation drive component.

[0010] Furthermore, a front panel is provided on one side of the shell.
