Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of capacitors, and particularly to a water-cooled built-in integrated capacitor. Background Art
[0002] Capacitors play an important role in circuits such as tuning, bypassing, coupling, and filtering. The operating temperature of a capacitor directly affects the performance and lifespan of the capacitor. If the temperature of the capacitor is too high during operation, the performance and lifespan of electrolytic capacitors depend on their operating temperature. If the ambient temperature during the operation of electrolytic capacitors is too high, it will have a great adverse impact on the capacitor performance and even lead to the termination of its lifespan. Especially in the field of wind power generation, in addition to relatively high requirements for capacitor performance, the heat dissipation requirements for products are even more stringent.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent with Application No. 202311667516.7 discloses a capacitor, which includes a plurality of capacitor cores, a first busbar, and a second busbar. The first busbar includes a first welding part, and the first welding part is connected to the first end faces of the plurality of capacitor cores; the second busbar includes a connecting part, the connecting part is stacked with the first welding part and an insulating dielectric layer is provided at the stacked part to insulate the connecting part and the first welding part between the positive and negative poles. Second welding parts extend from both sides of the connecting part, and the second welding parts are connected to the second end faces of the plurality of capacitor cores.
[0004] Regarding the above related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following technical defects to be improved:
[0005] During the working process, not only do the capacitor cores generate relatively more heat, but the busbars also generate some heat during the working process. Common integrated capacitors generally design some heat dissipation structures for the capacitor cores, and often such conventional heat dissipation structures and methods cannot take into account the heat generated by the busbar work. Overall, the heat dissipation effect is not good enough, and the stability and service life of the capacitor need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The following will further elaborate on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-4 drawings.
[0039] Embodiment 1 of the present application discloses a water-cooled built-in integrated capacitor. Referring to Figures 1-3 , the water-cooled built-in integrated capacitor includes a capacitor box body 1, a box cover 2, a plurality of cores 3, a heat-conducting partition bracket 4, a busbar stack 5, and multiple groups of water-cooled heat dissipation components 6. The heat-conducting partition bracket 4 is installed inside the capacitor box body 1 and divides the internal space of the capacitor box body 1 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. A plurality of cores 3 are arranged in a vertical and horizontal array in the lower chamber. The water-cooled heat dissipation components 6 are integrally presented as a flattened plate-like structure. The lower surface of the water-cooled heat dissipation components 6 is attached and spacedly installed on the heat-conducting partition bracket 4 and is located in the upper chamber. The busbar stack 5 is attached and installed on the upper surface of the water-cooled heat dissipation components 6. The busbar stack 5 is electrically connected to the plurality of cores 3 connected in series and parallel. A plurality of terminal blocks 51 are provided on both opposite sides of the busbar stack 5. Holes 21 for the terminal blocks 51 to extend out are provided on both opposite sides of the box cover 2. The box cover 2 is buckled at the opening of the capacitor box body 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, the water-cooled heat dissipation components 6 include a water-cooling pipe 61 arranged in a curved and circuitous manner and multiple heat dissipation plates 62. One water-cooling pipe 61 corresponds to four heat dissipation plates 62. Water inlets 63 and water outlets 64 are respectively provided at both ends of the water-cooling pipe 61. The heat dissipation plates 62 are fixedly connected to the water-cooling pipe 61. The water-cooling pipe 61 is attached to the heat-conducting partition bracket 4 and is heat-conductively connected. The multiple heat dissipation plates 62 are arranged in parallel at intervals. The lower surface of the heat dissipation plates 62 is attached to the upper surface of the water-cooled heat dissipation components 6. The upper surface of the heat dissipation plates 62 is attached to the lower surface of the busbar stack 5. A first notch 11 for the water inlet 63 to extend out and a second notch 12 for the water outlet 64 to extend out are provided on the side surface of the capacitor box body 1.
[0041] For the water-cooled heat dissipation component 6 designed above, the cooling medium in the water-cooling pipe 61 can enter and exit through the water inlet 63 and the water outlet 64. The heat dissipation plate 62 will be firmly clamped in the upper chamber by the bus bar stack 5 and the heat conduction partition bracket 4. Not only can heat be quickly conducted between the heat dissipation plate 62 and the water-cooling pipe 61, but also the heat dissipation plate 62 has a good fixing effect on the water-cooling pipe 61, effectively preventing structural shaking.
[0042] To improve the heat conduction efficiency and the stability of the heat dissipation plate 62 after being clamped, multiple heat dissipation plates 62 include a U-shaped clamping plate 621 arranged with the opening facing downwards. One side of the U-shaped clamping plate 621 is provided with a U-shaped attaching plate 622, and the bottom of the other side of the U-shaped clamping plate 621 is provided with a bottom attaching plate 623. The opening of the U-shaped attaching plate 622 faces away from the side of the bottom attaching plate 623. An arc U-groove adapted to be clamped and fitted to the outer peripheral wall of the water-cooling pipe 61 is arranged inside the U-shaped clamping plate 621, and the depth of the arc U-groove is equal to the outer diameter of the water-cooling pipe 61. The upper surface of the U-shaped attaching plate 622 is flush with the top surface of the U-shaped clamping plate 621, and the lower surface of the U-shaped attaching plate 622 is flush with the lower surface of the bottom attaching plate 623.
[0043] The above design of the U-shaped attaching plate 622 and the bottom attaching plate 623 has a larger contact area with the bus bar stack 5 and the heat conduction partition bracket 4 to accelerate heat transfer.
[0044] In this embodiment, to facilitate the connection of external inlet and outlet water pipes and is conducive to the arrangement of pipelines, the water inlet 63 and the water outlet 64 are located on the same side of the capacitor box body 1, and the side where the water inlet 63 and the water outlet 64 are located is not the same as the side where the wiring terminal 51 is located, thereby effectively separating the water interface and the electrical interface, with relatively high safety.
[0045] In this embodiment, the heat conduction partition bracket 4 includes a plurality of T-shaped support portions 41 fixed to the inner bottom of the capacitor box body 1 and a heat conduction plate 42. The T-shaped support portions 41 are located in the gaps between some adjacent cores 3, and the heat conduction plate 42 is fixed to the plurality of T-shaped support portions 41 by bolts and is horizontally arranged.
[0046] The heat conduction partition bracket 4 designed above is not only simple in structure, firm and stable, convenient for the installation and fixation of the water-cooled heat dissipation component 6, but also conducive to collecting a large amount of heat generated when the core 3 works. The water-cooling pipe 61 is a metal water pipe with good heat conductivity, and the heat dissipation plate 62 and the heat conduction plate 42 are aluminum plates or copper plates so as to have good heat conduction and heat dissipation effects.
[0047] In this embodiment, to prevent the water-cooling pipe 61 from shaking randomly in the upper chamber, a first hole is punched on the heat conduction plate 42 and a vertically arranged baffle 421 is formed by bending. Along the length direction of the water-cooling pipe 61, the baffle 421 is used to block and fix the water-cooling pipe 61, and the baffle 421 also has a certain positioning effect when installing the water-cooled heat dissipation component 6.
[0048] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the heat dissipation plate 62 from swaying randomly in the upper chamber, a second hole is punched and formed on the heat conduction plate 42, and an S-shaped elastic clamping plate 422 is bent. A clamping gap is formed between the S-shaped elastic clamping plate 422 and the upper surface of the heat conduction plate 42. One end of the bottom of the heat dissipation plate 62 is inserted and clamped in the clamping gap.
[0049] The beneficial technical effects of the water-cooled built-in integrated capacitor of the present application embodiment are roughly as follows:
[0050] When working, a large amount of heat generated by the core body 3 is indirectly transferred to the water-cooled heat dissipation assembly 6 through the heat conduction partition bracket 4. When working, part of the heat generated by the bus bar stack 5 is directly transferred to the water-cooled heat dissipation assembly 6 by contact. On the premise that a circulating cooling medium (which can be a coolant or other compressed gas) is introduced into the water-cooled heat dissipation assembly 6, the heat can be quickly discharged, with a better heat dissipation effect, significantly improving the stability and service life of the capacitor;
[0051] The upper chamber formed by the heat conduction partition bracket 4 and the bus bar stack 5 can just be used to install and fix the water-cooled heat dissipation assembly 6 in a flattened plate-like structure. The overall structure is simple, compact and stable, which is convenient for integrating the capacitor into a small-volume product.
[0052] Embodiment II of the present application discloses a water-cooled built-in integrated capacitor. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the difference from Embodiment I is:
[0053] Multiple heat dissipation plates 62 include U-shaped clamping plates 621 arranged with openings facing downwards. One U-shaped attaching plate 622 is provided on each side of the U-shaped clamping plate 621. The two U-shaped clamping plates 621 are symmetrically arranged with their openings facing horizontally away from each other. An arc U-groove adapted to be clamped and fitted to the outer peripheral wall of the water-cooled tube 61 is arranged inside the U-shaped clamping plate 621. The depth of the arc U-groove is equal to the outer diameter of the water-cooled tube 61. The upper surfaces of the two U-shaped attaching plates 622 are flush with the top surface of the U-shaped clamping plate 621, and the lower surfaces of the two U-shaped attaching plates 622 are flush with the bottom surface of the U-shaped clamping plate 621.
[0054] The heat dissipation plate 62 designed above also has a larger contact area with the bus bar stack 5 and the heat conduction partition bracket 4 to accelerate heat transfer, and the structure is also simple and stable.
[0055] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
