Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inverter heat dissipation, in particular to an inverter integrated air duct structure. Background Art

[0002] As the installed capacity of photovoltaic string inverters increases, small-power string inverters are small in size, requiring the structural parts to integrate multiple functions into one part and reduce the number of air duct structural parts as much as possible; the external cooling fan of the string inverter needs to be maintained frequently, requiring it to be as convenient and quick to disassemble and replace as possible. The radiator is installed behind the inverter box, which is often exposed to rain outdoors. When it is left for a long time and there is debris and dust, it needs to be manually sprayed with water for cleaning, which requires the air duct plate to have a good drainage function.

[0003] The existing wind duct structure of the string inverter is composed of several sheet metal parts, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fan 54 and the fan filter 55 are fixed to the fan mounting plate 55 by four screws 56, and the fan fixing plate 55 has six water leakage holes. After the entire fan assembly is pre-assembled, the fan fixing plate 52 is fixed to the air duct plate 51 by screws 53 on both sides. The air guide plate 52 is welded on the inner side of the air duct plate 51 to gather the cold air blown in by the fan into the teeth of the radiator 57.

[0004] This type of duct structure is relatively complex, and the structural parts include duct plate 51, air guide plate 52, fan fixing plate 52, screws 53, fan filter 55, and screws 56, and the overall cost is relatively high; this type of duct structure is also relatively cumbersome to maintain the fan. First, it is necessary to remove the screws 56 on both sides of the duct plate 51, take out the fan assembly as a whole, and then remove the screws 53, and remove the fan filter 55 and the fan 54. In order to meet the cooling requirements of the radiator fins, it is necessary to weld an air guide plate 52 on the inside of the duct plate 51 to support the fins of the radiator 57. The fan fixing plate 52 has 6 water leakage holes, but there is no water guide structure. When the rain is too heavy, there is a risk of water accumulation in the duct plate. Utility Model Content
