Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind power, and in particular to a heat dissipation cabinet and a converter. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing application of wind power and wind energy, the reliability and heat dissipation of offshore wind power is becoming more and more important. A large number of electronic components, such as IGBT, inductors and capacitors, are installed in the cabinets of power electronic equipment such as wind power converters. These components will emit a lot of heat when working, causing the temperature of themselves and the surrounding environment to rise, affecting the performance of electronic products. In severe cases, it may even cause equipment fire and other faults. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt necessary heat dissipation methods to cool the components to a certain extent, so that the components can work in an environment that meets the working temperature requirements.
[0003] Because it is an industrial equipment, the environment around the equipment is generally bad, and it is inevitable that dust, raindrops and dew will enter the equipment. The equipment itself must have good environmental adaptability. Therefore, the heat dissipation and protection of the equipment have become the current conflicting issues that need to be solved. In the existing equipment heat dissipation technology, there are two main ways to deal with the heat dissipation of the equipment:
[0004] The first is air cooling, which exchanges air inside and outside the cabinet. The advantage is high heat dissipation efficiency and low equipment heat dissipation cost; but the disadvantage is poor protection - harmful particles such as dust from the outside can easily enter the cabinet, which will have a great impact on safety regulations. In order to prevent harmful particles from entering the cabinet, high-efficiency filters are generally used, but high-efficiency filters have great wind resistance and need to be replaced regularly; Figure 1 As shown;
[0005] The second type is liquid cooling. By building a gas-liquid heat exchanger in the equipment, it is possible to avoid exchanging with the outside air, which has good protection. However, the disadvantage is that the heat of the air in the cabinet needs to be transferred through the heat exchanger, and the ambient temperature in the cabinet is higher than the outside air temperature. At the same time, in general, in order to meet the needs of heat dissipation, heat exchangers need to be built in multiple locations of the equipment. The volume occupied by heat dissipation is relatively large, and there is a greater risk of water leakage and hidden dangers, such as Figure 2 shown.
[0006] Chinese invention patent CN201010100417.7 discloses an air-cooled heat dissipation structure for a high-power converter device, in which a first and a second heat dissipation air duct are formed in the high-power converter device; power electronic devices and power electronic control components are arranged in the first air duct; grid-side inductors and converter-side inductors are arranged in the second air duct; and fans are arranged on the first and second air ducts. In this case, the power electronic devices and power electronic control components of the high-power converter device are arranged in the first air duct, and the grid-side inductors and converter-side inductors are arranged in the second air duct. The first and second air ducts are completely separated, and there is no unified air duct. Multiple air ducts increase the complexity of heat dissipation, and the converter-side inductors, grid-side inductors and power electronic control components are separately cooled. The wind in the air duct is from bottom to top, and fans are arranged on the first and second air ducts. The function of the fans increases the risk of water leakage, and the heat dissipation airflow of the large air duct cannot be introduced into the converter-side inductor.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a machine-side inductor that does not have a fan to prevent water leakage. The inductor and capacitor use the same air duct for heat dissipation, and the heat is dissipated through a unified large air duct, which is simple in heat dissipation. A baffle is set on the machine-side inductor to direct the wind from the large air duct into the machine-side inductor. The capacitor cavity air duct is closed, and a bypass air duct is set behind the capacitor cavity to reduce the wind resistance of the heat dissipation cabinet. Summary of the invention

[0015] Preferably, the cold air cooled by the heat exchanger first passes through the cavity of the capacitor in the first heat dissipation space, then flows out of the first heat dissipation space and enters the machine-side inductor to cool the machine-side inductor, then enters the second heat dissipation space, and flows downward back to the grid-side inductor.
[0016] Preferably, the cabinet body further comprises a second partition component disposed between the capacitor and an inner wall of the cabinet body, and a bypass air duct cavity is formed between the second partition component and the inner wall of the cabinet body to reduce system wind resistance and increase air flow.
