Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wind power converters, and more particularly, to a cooling device for a wind power converter. Background Art

[0002] A wind power converter usually consists of functional devices such as a circuit breaker, a contactor, a power unit module, a filtering module, etc., and is located inside the same cabinet. When the wind power converter is working, heat will be generated. Therefore, a cooling device is generally provided to dissipate heat inside the cabinet, so as to ensure the normal operation of the wind power converter.

[0003] The existing cooling device generally sucks external cold air from both sides of the cabinet through a fan and directly discharges it into the cabinet without any guiding device. As a result, the cold air generally directly contacts the heating elements closer to the fan, and the heat dissipated from these components will contact the heating elements in other positions along with the air flow. Its heat dissipation ability can no longer well meet the heat dissipation requirements of the wind power converter, which is likely to affect its normal heat dissipation effect and is not conducive to the normal use of the wind power converter. Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a cooling device for a wind power converter. Summary of the Invention

Such terms are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a cooling device for a wind power converter, including a first laminated plate 10 and a second laminated plate 20. The number of the first laminated plate 10 and the second laminated plate 20 is several and their structures are the same. The several first laminated plates 10 and second laminated plates 20 are arranged alternately. Both sides inside the first laminated plate 10 are provided with first through grooves 101, and both sides inside the second laminated plate 20 are provided with second through grooves 201;

[0047] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, through the alternately arranged first laminated plate 10 and second laminated plate 20, cavities for the refrigeration medium and liquid to flow can be formed between adjacent ones, and the cavities for the refrigeration medium and liquid to flow are separated from each other so that they do not contact each other, thereby cooperating with the heat transfer of the first laminated plate 10 and the second laminated plate 20 to achieve effective heat exchange and cooling;

[0048] Both the first through grooves 101 and the second through grooves 201 on the first laminated plate 10 and the second laminated plate 20 are provided with drainage components 310 and diversion components 320, and the positions of the drainage components 310 and the diversion components 320 on the first laminated plate 10 and the second laminated plate 20 are arranged alternately;

[0049] Among them, the drainage component 310 includes a drainage ring 311. Two groups of parallel sealing grooves 312 are opened on the inner side of the drainage ring 311, and a chamfered drainage arc surface 313 is formed on the outer side of the drainage ring 311. Through the setting of the chamfered drainage arc surface 313, as Figure 6As shown, when the liquid enters the inside of the drainage ring 311 through the chamfered drainage arc surface 313, it can better collect the liquid outside the drainage ring 311 inside the drainage ring 311 to achieve better diversion and transportation of the liquid;

[0050] Among them, the diversion component 320 includes a base 321, a connection ring 322 connected to and coaxially fixed with the surface of the base 321. A sealing ring 323 adapted to the sealing groove 312 is sleeved outside the connection ring 322. An outer drainage groove surface 324 is formed at the edge of the top of the connection ring 322, and an inner drainage groove surface 325 is formed at the top inside the connection ring 322. Through the setting of the inner drainage groove surface 325, the liquid output from the drainage ring 311 can be transported, reducing the impact force during the contact between the liquid and the connection ring 322 during the movement process, making its resistance smaller, and being conducive to the stable flow of the liquid or the refrigeration medium;

[0051] Specifically, after the first laminated plate 10 and the second laminated plate 20 are spliced with each other in an interleaved manner, the drainage ring 311 on the first laminated plate 10 is clamped to the sealing ring 323 on the diversion component 320 on the adjacent second laminated plate 20 through the sealing groove 312. Similarly, the drainage ring 311 on the second laminated plate 20 is clamped to the sealing ring 323 on the diversion component 320 on the adjacent first laminated plate 10 through the sealing groove 312. Thus, the splicing between adjacent laminated plates is completed, and at the same time, the output of the refrigeration medium and the liquid is realized, enabling them to flow in the space formed by the laminated plates in an interleaved manner and not directly contacting each other, which is conducive to subsequent heat exchange operations;

[0052] As a further optimization of this embodiment: the outer diameter of the connection ring 322 and the inner diameter of the drainage ring 311 are in interference fit. The edges of the side convex ribs 111 are all inclined and extended with mating parts. The side convex ribs 111 on adjacent two plate bodies 110 are tightly fitted with each other through their respective extended mating parts. Through the setting of the mating parts, the contact area at the edges of the first laminated plate 10 and the second laminated plate 20 is increased, improving the overall strength after multiple laminated plates are spliced with each other, and at the same time, being conducive to the improvement of the sealing performance;

[0053] The first laminated plate 10 includes a plate body 110, side convex ribs 111 formed on both sides of the surface of the plate body 110, and sealing bosses 113 formed on the other two sides of the surface of the plate body 110;

[0054] Among them, a sealing inner groove 114 is jointly formed on the surfaces of the side convex ribs 111 and the sealing bosses 113, and a mating convex strip 115 corresponding to and adapted to the sealing inner groove 114 is provided on the back surface of the plate body 110;

[0055] With the arrangement of the scoliosis ribs 111, the splicing of the mutually overlapping plates is made more convenient, and the snap-in splicing can be carried out without precise positioning. At the same time, with the cooperation of the convex strips 115 and the sealed inner grooves 114, the spliced overlapping plates can be effectively sealed, so that the liquid inside will not flow out during the subsequent heat exchange process to meet the use requirements of heat exchange;

[0056] The first overlapping plate 10 further includes a locking assembly 40. The locking assembly 40 includes two groups of symmetric male plates 401 and two corresponding female plates 402. The two groups of male plates 401 are symmetrically fixed at the edges on both sides of the scoliosis ribs 111, and the two groups of female plates 402 are symmetrically fixed at the other edges of the scoliosis ribs 111 close to the male plates 401;

[0057] The locking assembly 40 further includes a clamping plate 403 fixed on the surface of the male plate 401 and a groove body 404 opened on the female plate 402 corresponding to the clamping plate 403;

[0058] Among them, a first locking tooth 405 is formed in the inner groove of the clamping plate 403, and a second locking tooth 406 corresponding to the first locking tooth 405 is formed on the inner side of the female plate 402. Specifically, during the splicing process of the first overlapping plate 10 and the second overlapping plate 20, the first locking tooth 405 moves towards the second locking tooth 406 without any movement obstruction. When the first overlapping plate 10 and the second overlapping plate 20 are assembled together, the first locking tooth 405 and the second locking tooth 406 are locked to each other and cannot be separated, thus ensuring the initial stability between the overlapping plates after splicing;

[0059] Sealing side plates 102 are snap-fitted and installed on the surfaces of one of the first overlapping plate 10 and the second overlapping plate 20, and a base 103 is jointly installed at the bottoms of the two sealing side plates 102. Protective side plates 104 are jointly fixedly connected to the front and back of the two sealing side plates 102. Through the cooperation of the base 103 and the sealing side plates 102, the initially spliced overlapping plates can be effectively fixed for the second time, and they can be assembled with external connecting components to complete the overall assembly of the device;

[0060] Heat dissipation through grooves 105 are opened on the surface of the protective side plates 104. The shape of the heat dissipation through grooves 105 is rectangular. Through the arrangement of the heat dissipation through grooves 105, while realizing the mutual connection and support of multiple overlapping plates, the heat dissipation requirements are also met;

[0061] Among them, one of the sealing side plates 102 is fixedly connected with a cooling assembly 106. The two sides of the top of the cooling assembly 106 are respectively communicated with a refrigeration medium inlet part 108 and a refrigeration medium outlet part 109. The two sides of the surface of the other sealing side plate 102 are respectively communicated with a liquid inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe;

[0062] Specifically, during use, the refrigerant inlet part 108 and the refrigerant outlet part 109 are connected to the internal air-conditioning system for transporting the refrigerant, and the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe are connected to the internal wind power converter pipeline. When cooling the wind power converter, the high temperature inside the wind power converter is transferred to the liquid, and the liquid with a certain temperature passes through the liquid inlet pipe as Figure 6 shown, and is output to a plurality of first stacked plates 10 and second stacked plates 20 assemblies according to its trajectory. At this time, the refrigerant synchronously enters between the first stacked plate 10 and the second stacked plate 20 through the refrigerant inlet part 108, and its movement form is as Figure 7 shown. At this time, through the cooperation of the first stacked plate 10 and the second stacked plate 20, the transfer and heat exchange of the high-temperature liquid can be formed. The liquid after heat exchange flows back into the wind power converter through the liquid outlet pipe to effectively cool the wind power converter.

[0063] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and do not limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above respective embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and their improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
