[0003] The heat dissipation of modules inside the existing inverter products on the market is completed by a radiator.

[0023] See also Figure 1-7 A frequency converter with a chimney-type heat dissipation structure includes a frequency converter main body 1 and a chimney-type heat dissipation structure 2, wherein the frequency converter main body 1 includes an IGBT module 11, a rectifier bridge 12 and a brake module 13.

[0024] The chimney-type heat dissipation structure 2 includes a heat dissipation cavity 21, a heat sink 1 22, a heat sink 23, an air inlet 24, an air outlet 25 and a fan 26. The IGBT module 11 is located on one side of the heat dissipation cavity 21, the rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13 are located on the other side of the heat dissipation cavity 21, the heat sink 1 22 and the heat sink 23 are both arranged inside the heat dissipation cavity 21, the air inlet 24 and the air outlet 25 are respectively arranged on both sides of the inverter body 1 and are respectively opposite to the two ends of the heat dissipation cavity 21, the heat sink 1 22 is located on one side of the IGBT module 11, the heat sink 23 is located on one side of the rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13, the fan 26 is arranged inside the air outlet 25 and the number of fans 26 is not less than one, and the number of fans 26 is two.

[0025] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, the area of ​​the air inlet 24 is larger than the area of ​​the air outlet 25, the radiator 1 22 and the radiator 2 23 are partially staggered, the radiator 1 22 and the radiator 2 23 are both plug-in type radiators and the tooth width of the radiator 1 22 is larger than the tooth width of the radiator 2 23.

[0026] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation cavity 21 is long and narrow, which is conducive to the circulation of air volume. The long and narrow heat dissipation cavity 21 cooperates with the air inlet 24 whose area is larger than the air outlet 25 to form a chimney-type heat dissipation structure. With the support of two fans 26, the generated heat can be quickly taken away, thereby ensuring the long-term operation of the entire product. The area of ​​radiator 1 22 is larger than that of radiator 2 23. Radiator 1 22 is used to dissipate heat for the IGBT module 11 and bears the main heat. Therefore, radiator 1 22 has a large area and long teeth. Radiator 2 23 bears the heat dissipation of the rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13, and the heat is relatively small. Therefore, the area of ​​radiator 2 23 is smaller than that of radiator 1 22. The size of the volume also determines the role of the two radiators. Each radiator performs its own duties and completes its own heat dissipation mission to ensure temperature stability, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the product with high reliability and high environmental adaptability.

[0027] Radiator 1 22 and radiator 2 23 are on the left and right sides of the heat dissipation cavity 21, with teeth facing each other and partially staggered in the upper and lower parts. Such a design also indirectly leads to an increase in the air intake. The larger the air volume, the more heat is taken away, and the more reasonable the product structure layout is.

[0028] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, the inverter body 1 also includes an assembly cavity 14, an assembly cavity 15 and an assembly cavity 16. The assembly cavity 14 and the assembly cavity 15 are respectively located on both sides of the heat dissipation cavity 21, and the assembly cavity 3 16 is located at the top of the heat dissipation cavity 21.

[0029] In this embodiment, the IGBT module 11, the rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13 generate a lot of heat when working. Under the action of the fan 26, a large amount of air is taken in by the air inlet 24. The design of the heat dissipation cavity 21, the assembly cavity 14, the assembly cavity 2 15 and the assembly cavity 3 16 makes the internal space of the inverter body 1 form a relatively independent cavity up and down, left and right. The narrow heat dissipation cavity 21 is conducive to the circulation of air volume, forming a strong convection space, and the structural design is more ingenious.

[0030] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, the interior of the assembly cavity 14 is provided with a mounting plate 141 for mounting the IGBT module 11 and separating the assembly cavity 14 from the heat dissipation cavity 21. The radiator 1 22 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 141 away from the IGBT module 11 and corresponds to the IGBT module 11. The interior of the assembly cavity 2 15 is provided with a mounting plate 2 151 and a mounting plate 3 152 arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 2 151 for separating the assembly cavity 2 15 from the heat dissipation cavity 21. The radiator 2 23 is arranged on one side of the mounting plate 2 151. The rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13 are arranged on the side of the mounting plate 2 151 away from the radiator 2 23 and correspond to the radiator 2 23. A reactor 153 is arranged on one side of the mounting plate 3 152. The top of the air inlet 24 is bent and extends to the top of the air outlet 25. A part is used to separate the assembly cavity three 16 and the heat dissipation cavity 21. One side of the inverter body 1 is provided with a line inlet 17 located at the top of the air inlet 24 and the number is not less than one. One side of the mounting plate 1 141 is provided with a plurality of capacitors 142 located inside the heat dissipation cavity 21. One end of the plurality of capacitors 142 is commonly connected to an aluminum bar 143 located on one side of the IGBT module 11. The other side of the mounting plate 1 141 is provided with a power board 144 and a power board 145 located on the other side of the IGBT module 11. The power board 145 is located below the power board 144. A relay 154 located on one side of the brake module 13 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 2 151. A safety board 155 is provided on one side of the rectifier bridge 12. A plurality of terminal blocks 161 are provided inside the assembly cavity three 16. A control panel 18 is provided on the top of the inverter body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fan 26 is started to suck air, and the air enters through the air inlet 24. First, the high-heat capacitor 142 is cooled, and the heat of the IGBT module 11 is transferred to the radiator 1 22. The heat of the rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13 is transferred to the radiator 2 23. After the air passes through the radiator 1 22 and the radiator 2 23, the heat is taken away and discharged through the air outlet 25. The design of the radiator 1 22 and the radiator 2 23 allows the high-heat IGBT module 11, the rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13 to dissipate heat through the heat dissipation cavity 21, thereby reducing the overall temperature concentration of the inverter body 1. Most of the heat is taken away by the heat dissipation cavity 21, and a small part of the heat emitted by the remaining electrical component modules, such as the power board 144, the inductor 153, the power board 145, the relay 154, and the safety board 155, is dissipated to the assembly cavity 1 14, the assembly cavity 2 15, and the assembly cavity 3 16 without interfering with each other.

[0032] In summary, the inverter with a chimney-type heat dissipation structure, the narrow and long heat dissipation cavity 21 cooperates with the air inlet 24 whose area is larger than the air outlet 25, to form a chimney-type heat dissipation structure. With the support of two fans 26, the generated heat can be quickly taken away, thereby ensuring the long-term operation of the entire flat device body. The radiator 1 22 and the radiator 2 23 are partially staggered in the upper and lower parts, and the area of ​​the radiator 1 22 is larger than that of the radiator 2 23. The radiator 1 22 is used to dissipate the heat of the IGBT module 11 and bears the main heat. The radiator 2 23 bears the heat dissipation of the rectifier bridge 12 and the brake module 13, and the heat is relatively small. Such a design calmly and indirectly leads to an increase in the air intake. The larger the air volume, the more heat is taken away, and the product structure layout is more reasonable.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
