DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the compact string converter integrated cabinet of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a compact string-type converter integrated cabinet, including a support frame 1 and a supporting layer 2. The support frame 1 is a load-bearing structure and can be placed on the ground or other locations. The support frame 1 has a certain load-bearing capacity, and the support frame 1 can provide space for the installation and placement of other structures. The support frame 1 is installed with at least two supporting layers 2. The supporting layer 2 and the support frame 1 can be two independent components that are assembled and formed later, or they can be integrally processed, that is, the supporting layer 2 is a part of the support frame 1. The supporting layers 2 are distributed in an upper and lower interval, and different supporting layers 2 have different height positions. It should be noted that the support frame 1 is installed with two supporting layers 2, that is, at least two supporting layers 2 are arranged on the support frame 1, and a larger number of supporting layers 2 can also be arranged. The supporting layer 2 plays the role of spacing support, and can be a solid plate, or a plurality of through holes can be provided. The utility model is mainly combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure with two supporting layers 2 shown in the figure is used for explanation, but it does not mean that only two supporting layers 2 can be provided.
[0036] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4, a suspended bracket 3 is arranged on each supporting layer 2, the suspended bracket 3 is fixed to the supporting layer 2, the suspended bracket 3 is arranged on the upper surface of the supporting layer 2, the PCS module is installed on the suspended bracket 3, the bottom of the PCS module is supported by the suspended bracket 3, the gravity of the PCS module is pressed on the suspended bracket 3 and transmitted downward to the supporting layer 2, and the supporting layer 2 transmits gravity to the supporting frame 1. Due to the spacing of the suspended bracket 3, a certain space interval is formed between the bottom surface of the PCS module and the supporting layer 2. The PCS modules are all installed vertically, with bottom air intake and top air outlet, which meets the needs of air circulation and allows air flow to flow into the PCS module from the lower interval for cooling.
[0037] The distance between the two adjacent supporting layers 2 is greater than the height of the PCS module. When the PCS module is installed on the suspended bracket 3, there is still a certain gap between the supporting layer 2 and the PCS module below it. The suspended bracket 3 separates the air inlet at the bottom of the PCS module from the supporting layer 2, leaving air intake space at the bottom of the PCS module. There is enough distance between the top surface of the PCS module and the supporting layer 2 above it, providing air outlet space. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the airflow enters the PCS module from the bottom and is discharged from the PCS module from the top. The airflow can cool the PCS module to meet the needs of air cooling and heat dissipation.
[0038] Among the multiple supporting layers 2, one of the supporting layers 2 is provided with a distribution cabinet 21; the PCS module enters and exits the AC and DC power cables through the front junction box, and the AC and DC wiring harnesses are routed in the lower space of the PCS module. The power cables are all cables that can be used outdoors. After the power cables of all PCS modules are converged in the distribution cabinet 21, they pass through the frame circuit breaker and are then connected to the transformer end copper bus through the output copper bus.
[0039] At present, there are various structural designs of PCS integrated cabinets in string-type converters and boosters on the market, most of which are arranged in a single row in parallel. This arrangement of PCS units is relatively simple for the integrated cabinet structure design, but it also brings many disadvantages such as increased cabinet length, increased manufacturing costs, and increased transportation costs of the booster. The compact string converter integrated cabinet of the utility model utilizes the structural design of two supporting layers 2 and the height space. When the number of PCS modules is equal, the floor space of the entire rack is reduced, that is, the projection area formed on the horizontal plane is smaller, and the space utilization rate is higher.
[0040] On the basis of the above scheme, the power distribution cabinet 21 of the utility model is arranged on the lower supporting layer 2, and the power distribution cabinet 21 is located at a lower position. The power distribution cabinet 21 is shielded by the PCS module above and the supporting layer 2, thereby forming a better protection effect for the internal electrical structure.
[0041] Combination Figure 5 , Fig. 9 As shown, the top plate of the power distribution cabinet 21 is provided with a first mounting hole 22 for the cables of the upper PCS module to pass through; the first mounting hole 22 is arranged vertically, and the cables of the upper PCS module pass through the first mounting hole 22 and enter the power distribution cabinet 21 downward. The side wall of the power distribution cabinet 21 is provided with a second mounting hole 23 for the cables of the PCS module on the same layer to pass through, and the cables of the lower PCS module pass through the second mounting hole 23 and enter the power distribution cabinet 21 horizontally. The first mounting hole 22 and the second mounting hole 23 are respectively installed with cable glands, and the power cable of the PCS module on the upper part of the rack passes through the cable gland on the upper cover plate in the middle of the rack to enter the lower power distribution cabinet, and the power line of the PCS module on the lower part of the rack passes through the cable gland on the right side panel to enter the power distribution cabinet.
[0042] The power distribution cabinet 21 includes a DC cabinet and an AC cabinet. The first installation hole position 22 and the second installation hole position 23 are respectively set with a DC hole position and an AC hole position. Each PCS module leads out a DC cable and an AC cable respectively. Multiple PCSs lead out multiple DC cables and finally connect to the DC cabinet. Multiple PCSs lead out multiple AC cables and finally connect to the AC cabinet.
[0043] Combination Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, the suspended bracket 3 provided by the utility model includes a support frame 31 and a limit plate 32. The support frame 31 includes a bottom plate 311, a vertical plate 312, a horizontal support plate 313 and a rib plate 314. The bottom plate 311 and the horizontal support plate 313 are horizontal plates, and the vertical plate 312 and the rib plate 314 are vertical plates. The bottom plate 311 is fixedly assembled on the supporting layer 2. The bottom plate 311 can be fixed by bolts or welding. The bottom of the vertical plate 312 is vertically fixed to the bottom plate 311, and the top is fixed to the horizontal support plate 313. The rib plate 314 is vertically fixed to the bottom plate 311, the vertical plate 312 and the horizontal support plate 313 respectively; wherein the bottom plate 311, the vertical plate 312 and the horizontal support plate 313 can be formed by bending the same plate sheet metal. The vertical plate 312 is provided with a number of gaps for air to pass through. By reducing the obstruction of air through these gaps, the air resistance can be effectively reduced, so that the air can flow into the PCS module more smoothly.
[0044] Combination Fig.10 The limit plate 32 is supported by two horizontal support plates 313 and positions the two sides of the PCS module; the suspended bracket 3 includes two symmetrically arranged support frames 31, and the two ends of the limit plate 32 are supported by the two support frames 31, respectively, supporting the left and right sides of the PCS module, providing a more stable support effect. At the same time, the limit plate 32 protrudes vertically upward to set a retaining rib, which can provide a limit for the left and right sides of the PCS module, so that several PCS modules in the same row are arranged in an array.
[0045] A PCS module is supported and limited by two limit plates 32, and slide bars for sliding contact and cooperation with the limit plates 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom surface of the PCS module. The limit plates 32 can have different forms. For the limit plate 32 arranged between the two PCS modules, a curved blocking platform is formed by bending a plate, which can limit the two PCS modules respectively, and two flat support plates are formed on the left and right sides respectively to support the two PCS modules respectively; because the distance between the slide bar structure arranged below the left and right sides of the PCS module and the edge is different, the width of the two flat support plates of the limit plate 32 is different to ensure the support of the slide bar. For the limit plate 32 that only needs one PCS module at the end, a bending structure formed by bending a plate can be used.
[0046] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a baffle 5 is detachably mounted on the support frame 1, and each supporting layer 2 is provided with a corresponding baffle 5, which is used to block and limit the PCS module placed on the supporting layer 2 from the front and rear sides, respectively. Each baffle 5 is fixed to each PCS module by bolts to ensure a stable connection. The baffle 5 extends horizontally, and the two ends of the baffle 5 are respectively fixed to the support frame 1. Each PCS module is respectively fixed to the baffle 5 by bolts, which can fix the PCS module in the front and rear directions, and cooperate with the left and right limits of the limit plate 32 to position the four sides of the PCS module.
[0047] Specifically, two baffles 5 are arranged on the rear side of the PCS module placed on each supporting layer 2 of the utility model, and one baffle 5 is arranged on the front side; the two baffles 5 on the rear side are arranged one high and one low, respectively forming two fixing points on the rear side of the PCS module, and one fixing point is formed on the front side of the PCS module through one baffle 5. A cable cover is arranged on the front side of the PCS module, and the cable cover is located in the space below the front baffle 5. In order to avoid the cable cover, only one baffle 5 is arranged on the front side.
[0048] The support frame 1 or the support layer 2 is provided with an air guide 4, which is used to guide the airflow discharged from the PCS module so that the airflow is discharged diagonally downward. Generally speaking, the PCS module placed on the top support layer 2 does not need to be provided with an air guide 4 so that the airflow is discharged upward, while the PCS modules placed on the other lower support layers 2 need to be provided with an air guide 4. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, an air guide 4 is respectively provided at the three sides of the entire support frame 1, and the air guide 4 is used to guide the hot air flow discharged from the PCS module at the lower layer, so as to reduce the hot air flow being directly discharged upward and being sucked into the PCS module at the upper layer, thereby affecting the heat dissipation effect of the PCS module at the upper layer. Fig.12As shown, the air guide cover 4 is provided with an arc-shaped curved panel, and two baffles are respectively arranged at its two ends. Its core function is to separate the airflows of the upper and lower PCS modules to prevent the hot airflow discharged from the lower PCS module from entering the upper PCS module.
[0049] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, there is no upper cover on the top of the support frame 1, so that the top of the PCS module on the uppermost layer provides an open space for air outlet, and the hot air flow discharged by the upper PCS module blows vertically upward; the upper PCS module and the lower PCS module are not provided with side walls to block them, and can freely exchange air with the outside world.
[0050] The hot air flow of the lower PCS module is directly blown upward to the supporting layer 2, and heat insulation cotton is bonded to the surface of the supporting layer 2 to reduce the heat transfer upward.
[0051] The compact string converter integrated cabinet of the utility model has a smaller overall length, thereby making the converter and booster integrated machine smaller in length. For customers, the whole machine occupies a smaller area, and projects with the same capacity requirements require a smaller land area, which is more economical and friendly. For suppliers, the manufacturing and transportation costs are reduced.
[0052] The compact string converter integrated cabinet of the utility model divides the PCS into two parts, upper and lower, and can meet the requirements of PCS with bottom air inlet and top air outlet structure and PCS with bottom air inlet and upper front and rear air outlet arranged side by side. The upper and lower PCS are both installed vertically, and the upper and lower space structure designs meet the PCS air inlet and exhaust heat dissipation requirements. The compact string converter integrated cabinet of the utility model has a compact overall structure, a reasonable design, a reasonable PCS power line routing, and a higher space utilization rate.
