[0044] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, Figure 1 As shown, an electric control box 100 is proposed, the electric control box 100 includes an electric control main shell 20, a first electric control component 30, a second electric control component 40 and a fan 50. The electric control main shell 20 is hollow inside to define an electric control cavity 24. The first electric control component 30, the second electric control component 40 and the fan 50 are all arranged in the electric control cavity 24. Specifically, along the first direction, the electric control cavity 24 includes a first area 241 and a second area 242 arranged in sequence. The first area 241 is adjacent to and communicates with the second area 242. The first electric control component 30 is arranged in the first area 241, and the second electric control component 40 is arranged in the second area 242. Along the first direction, the fan 50 is arranged between the first electric control component 30 and the second electric control component 40. In the process of the electric control box 100 working, the heat generated by the first electric control component 30 is greater than the heat generated by the second electric control component 40, so that the air temperature around the first electric control component 30 is higher than the air temperature around the second electric control component 40. In cold and low-temperature environments such as winter, the fan 50 is turned on to drive the air circulation in the electric control chamber 24, so that the air in the first area 241 flows into the second area 242 to increase the air temperature of the second area 242, thereby increasing the ambient temperature of the second electric control component 40 and reducing the impact of the low-temperature environment on the performance and reliability of the second electric control component 40.

[0045] It can be understood that the fan 50 is arranged in the electric control chamber 24, and its setting position can be adjusted according to needs. During the operation of the fan 50, the air in the electric control chamber 24 circulates, and the air in the first area 241 and the air in the second area 242 circulate alternately, thereby utilizing the heat dissipated by the first electric control component 30 in the first area 241 to increase the ambient temperature of the second electric control component 40.

[0046] Among them, the first electronic control component 30 is an electronic component with higher heat generation, such as an inductor 31, an inverter, etc., and the first electronic control component 30 is an electronic component with lower heat generation, such as a filter board 42, a main board 41, an expansion board 43, etc. relative to the first electronic control component 30.

[0047] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first area 241 and the second area 242 are sequentially arranged along the first direction, the fan 50 is an axial flow fan 50, and the airflow direction of the fan 50 is parallel to the rotation axis of the fan 50 when the fan 50 is running, and the air inlet direction and the air outlet direction of the fan 50 are both parallel to the rotation axis of the fan 50. In this embodiment, the air inlet direction and the air outlet direction of the fan 50 are parallel to the first direction, so that the airflow direction driven by the fan 50 is parallel to the first direction, so that the air in the first area 241 and the air in the second area 242 flow alternately and circulate. It can be understood that the air outlet direction and the air inlet direction of the fan 50 can also be set to be set at an angle with the first direction.

[0048] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first electric control component 30 includes a reactor 31 and a frequency conversion module 32 arranged at intervals along the second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and along the first direction, the fan 50 is arranged on one side of the reactor 31 and is located between the reactor 31 and the second electric control component 40. In this embodiment, the heat generation of the reactor 31 is relatively high, and the fan 50 is arranged on one side of the reactor 31, so that the airflow direction driven by the fan 50 is opposite to the reactor 31, so that the air in the electric control cavity 24 is preferentially exchanged with the reactor 31, and the heat in the reactor 31 is diffused to other areas of the electric control cavity 24 by using the circulating airflow. Since the fan 50 is arranged between the reactor 31 and the second electric control component 40, it is convenient to quickly realize the exchange between the air around the second electric control component 40 and the air in the first area 241.

[0049] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, when the air inlet side of the fan 50 is toward the second electric control component 40 and the air outlet side of the fan 50 is toward the reactor 31, under the driving action of the fan 50, the lower temperature air around the second electric control component 40 first flows to the reactor 31 to exchange heat with the reactor 31 and heat up, while the higher temperature air around the reactor 31 circulates to the second area 242 under the driving action of the fan 50, thereby increasing the air temperature of the second area 242 and achieving the purpose of increasing the ambient temperature of the second electric control component 40.

[0050] In other embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the second electric control component 40 includes a main board 41, the air inlet side of the fan 50 is arranged toward the inductor 31, and the air outlet side of the fan 50 is arranged toward the main board 41. Under the driving action of the fan 50, the higher temperature air around the inductor 31 flows toward the main board 41 under the driving action of the fan 50, thereby increasing the air temperature around the main board 41, and the lower temperature air around the second electric control component 40 circulates to the first area 241 and exchanges heat with the frequency conversion module 32 and the inductor 31 in the first area 241 to increase the temperature.

The module board 321 is a PCB board. The IGBT module is integrated on the module board 321.

The IGBT module is a modular semiconductor product formed by packaging an IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor chip) and a FWD (freewheeling diode chip) through a specific circuit bridge; the packaged IGBT module is directly used in equipment such as frequency converters.

[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frequency conversion module 32 includes a compressor module board 321 and a fan 50 module board 321, and the compressor module board 321 and the fan 240 module board 321 are both integrated with IGBT modules for respectively controlling the variable frequency operation of the compressor and the variable frequency operation of the fan 240. The number of the reactors 31 is set to two, and the two reactors 31 are respectively arranged opposite to the compressor module board 321 and the fan 240 module board 321 along the second direction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the fan is arranged at one end of the electric control cavity along the second direction, and along the first direction, the fan corresponds to the reactor. When the electric control box 100 is placed vertically, the reactor 31 and the fan 50 are arranged at the top position of the electric control cavity 24, and the reactor and the fan are arranged at the same height. The frequency conversion module 32 is arranged below the reactor 31 and the fan 50, and the electronic components such as the filter board and the main board are not higher than the fan, so as to facilitate the fan to more efficiently drive the air around the reactor to the second area.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the electric control main shell 20 includes a connected bottom plate 21, side plates 22 and an electric control front cover 23, and the bottom plate 21, the side plates 22 and the electric control front cover 23 together enclose an electric control cavity 24, wherein the bottom plate 21 and the side plates 22 are formed by bending a plate-like member as a whole, and the side plates 22 are formed by bending the two side plates 22 opposite to the bottom plate 21 toward one side, and a front opening connected to the electric control cavity 24 is formed between the two oppositely arranged side plates 22, and the electric control front cover 23 is detachably connected to the side plates 22 and covers the front opening. By setting a detachable electric control front cover 23, maintenance personnel can open the electric control front cover 23 to inspect the first electric control component 30 and the second electric control component 40 and the electronic components thereon, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0055] In this embodiment, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first direction and the second direction are parallel to the bottom plate 21 respectively, the electric control box 100 also includes a partition assembly 60, the partition assembly 60 includes a support plate 61 and a support partition 62, the support plate 61 includes a vertical and connected connecting portion 611 and a supporting portion 612, the connecting portion 611 is connected to the bottom plate 21, the support partition 62 is connected to the end of the supporting portion 612 away from the bottom plate 21, the support partition 62 is parallel to the bottom plate 21 and is arranged at intervals, the partition assembly 60 is arranged in the second area 242, and the support plate 61 and the support partition 62 jointly separate the second area 242 into a first space 2421 and a second space 2422, the second electric control component 40 is arranged in the first space 2421, the electric control box 100 also includes a power supply terminal block 70, the power supply terminal block 70 is arranged in the second space 2422, and the second space 2422 is used to provide a wiring space for the power supply terminal block 70 to facilitate wiring operations.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the electric control box 100 also includes a safety baffle 80, one end of which is rotatably connected to the end of the support portion 612 away from the bottom plate 21 through bolts and other connecting parts. The safety baffle 80 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the bottom plate 21, and at least part of the power terminal block 70 is arranged between the safety baffle 80 and the bottom plate 21. When wiring, the safety baffle 80 can be rotated to stagger the safety baffle 80 and the power terminal block 70 to provide an operating space for maintenance personnel. When the wiring operation is completed, the safety baffle 80 is restored to its original position, and the safety baffle 80 is used to shield the power wiring block to prevent the power line on the power wiring block from interfering with the second electric control component 40 such as the main board 41 located on the support partition 62.

[0057] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second electronic control component 40 includes a main board 41, a first filter board 42, a second filter board 42 and an expansion board 43, wherein the first filter board 42 and the second filter board 42 are installed at intervals on the connecting portion 611 of the support plate 61 along the second direction, the main board 41 is installed on a side of the support partition 62 away from the bottom plate 21, and the filter board 42 is located between the main board 41 and the first electronic control component 30.

[0058] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric control box 100 also includes an electric heating element 91, which is arranged on the air inlet side or the air outlet side of the fan 50. In a low temperature and cold environment, the electric heating element 91 is started to generate heat to heat the air in the electric control chamber 24, and the fan 50 is used to diffuse the heat generated by the electric heating element 91 to the surrounding side of the second electric control component 40 through the airflow, thereby increasing the ambient temperature of the second electric control component 40 and the first electric control component 30.

[0059] In this embodiment, the electric heating element 91 includes but is not limited to a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating tube, a heating wire, and an electric heating cable.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the electric control box 100 further includes a temperature sensor 92 and a control device. The control device is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 92, the electric heating element 91 and the fan 50 respectively. The temperature sensor 92 is used to control the air temperature in the electric control cavity 24, and transmits the air temperature to the control device in the form of an electrical signal. When the air temperature in the electric control cavity 24 drops to a critical value, the control device controls the fan 50 and / or the electric heating element 91 to turn on according to the air temperature data, at least increasing the temperature of the air in the second area 242, and increasing the ambient temperature of the second electric control component 40. In this embodiment, the control device includes a memory, a processor, and a control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the control program is executed by the processor, the fan and the electric heating element can be controlled.

[0061] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the electric control chamber 24 has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 arranged relatively along the second direction. In a hot environment such as summer, since the first electric control component 30 generates a high amount of heat, it is necessary to dissipate heat from the first electric control component 30. By providing the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102, the gas flow in the electric control chamber 24 is increased, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the first electric control component 30. Further, in order to avoid the heat preservation of the electric control chamber 24 in a cold environment such as winter and to prevent the temperature in the electric control chamber 24 from being too low, the electric control box 100 further includes a first air valve (not shown in the figure) and a second air valve (not shown in the figure). The first air valve is provided at the air inlet 101 and is used to open or close the air inlet 101, and the second air valve is provided at the air outlet 102 and is used to open or close the air outlet 102. Understandably, in cold environments such as winter, the first air valve and the second air valve can be used to close the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102, so that the electric control chamber 24 is a relatively closed space to improve its heat preservation, and the fan 50 and the electric heating element 91 can be used to increase the air temperature in the electric control chamber 24. In hot environments such as summer, the first air valve and the second air valve can be used to open the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 to increase the ventilation capacity of the electric control chamber 24 and improve the heat dissipation effect of the first electric control component 30 and the second electric control component 40.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first air valve and the second air valve are both composed of a stepper motor and an air outlet baffle, which is connected to the rotating shaft of the electrode. The air outlet baffle is arranged at the position of the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102, and the stepper motor is used to drive the air outlet baffle to rotate to change the angle of the air outlet baffle, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102.

[0063] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, an outdoor unit 200 is also provided. The outdoor unit 200 includes a shell 210 and an electric control box 100. The shell 210 has an upper chamber 220 and an exhaust port 230. The exhaust port 230 is connected to the upper chamber 220 and is used to install a fan 240. The upper chamber 220 is used to install a heat exchanger 250.

[0064] The air outlet 102 of the electric control box 100 is connected to the upper chamber 220, so that when the upper chamber 220 is in a negative pressure state, under the action of the suction force of the upper chamber 220, the external air can flow into the electric control chamber 24 through the air inlet 101, and flow into the upper chamber 220 through the electric control chamber 24 and the air outlet 102, thereby cooling the first electric control component 30 and the second electric control component 40 in the electric controller and improving its heat dissipation efficiency.

[0065] According to the outdoor unit 200 proposed in the utility model, an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 are arranged on the electric control box 100, and the electric control chamber 24 is connected to the upper chamber 220 through the air outlet 102. When negative pressure is generated in the upper chamber 220 under the driving action of the fan 240, the external air flow can enter the electric control chamber 24 through the air inlet 101, and flow into the upper chamber 220 through the electric control chamber 24 and the air outlet 102. Therefore, the air flow velocity in the electric control chamber 24 can be effectively increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the electric control chamber 24 can be improved.

[0066] According to the third aspect of the present invention, a HVAC device is also proposed, and the HVAC device includes an outdoor unit 200. The HVAC device proposed by the present invention includes the outdoor unit 200 of the above solution, and therefore has the same technical effect as the outdoor unit 200, which will not be described in detail here. The HVAC device includes but is not limited to a central air conditioner and an air source heat pump air conditioner.
