Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of frequency converters, and particularly to a highly protected water-cooled frequency converter structure. Background Art

[0002] Frequency converters are widely used. In a high-dust environment, frequency converters with air-cooled heat dissipation design usually have the problem that dust accumulates on the radiator, resulting in a reduction in heat dissipation performance, and even causing over-temperature warning faults in the power module. At the same time, ventilation and heat dissipation will also cause dust accumulation inside the power cavity. When the use environment contains metal dust or corrosiveness, it will cause corrosion and short circuits of the internal single-board circuits and electronic components, reducing the reliability of product use. Another improvement solution is to separate the heat dissipation cavity and the power cavity, and the power cavity is not ventilated to avoid the influence of dust. In this way, the power cavity is completely sealed, and heat is dissipated through the chassis shell radiation. As the power density of the product increases, the temperature of the internal cavity rises, causing internal components to fail and increasing the product failure rate.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art has defects and needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a highly protected water-cooled frequency converter structure. The power module is cooled by a water-cooled plate, and the highly protected chassis shell is isolated from the external environment, which can effectively control the problems of the internal cavity.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention provides a highly protected water-cooled frequency converter structure, including: a chassis shell, a middle partition board, a water-cooled plate, a rectifier module, an IGBT module, a power single board, and a fan. The chassis shell and the middle partition board are assembled to form independent and sealed power cavity and heat dissipation cavity. The middle partition board separates the power cavity and the heat dissipation cavity. The water-cooled plate is arranged on the middle partition board and located in the heat dissipation cavity. The rectifier module and the IGBT module are located in the power cavity and fixed on the surface of the water-cooled plate. The power single board is arranged in the power cavity, and a bus capacitor is provided on the power single board. The body of the bus capacitor is arranged in the heat dissipation cavity, and the connection terminals of the bus capacitor pass through the middle partition board and are arranged on the power single board. The fan is arranged at the lower part of the middle partition board, and a through hole is provided on the middle partition board corresponding to the fan. Ventilation holes are provided at the upper part of the middle partition board.

[0006] Further, the chassis shell includes a box body, an upper cover plate, an upper sealing plate of the heat dissipation cavity, and a lower sealing plate of the heat dissipation cavity. The middle partition board respectively forms a power cavity wiring sealing plate and a power cavity upper sealing plate at both ends corresponding to the power cavity. The box body, the upper cover plate, and the middle partition board are assembled to form the power cavity. The box body, the lower sealing plate of the heat dissipation cavity, the upper sealing plate of the heat dissipation cavity, and the middle partition board are assembled to form the heat dissipation cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, a protection coil is provided on the power cavity line sealing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the solution further includes a radiator, which is disposed on the water cooling plate and located within the heat dissipation cavity, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins are formed on the radiator.

[0009] Furthermore, an insulating sleeve is sleeved on the body of the bus capacitor.

[0010] Adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By dividing the interior of the frequency converter into a power cavity and a heat dissipation cavity that are isolated from the external environment, and dissipating heat through the water cooling plate, not only can it avoid problems such as a decrease in heat dissipation performance and product failure caused by foreign objects such as dust entering from the outside, but also it can ensure the air circulation and heat dissipation within the power cavity and the heat dissipation cavity, which can improve the heat dissipation performance and reliability of the product, and further increase the power density of the power module.
