Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric power control equipment, in particular to an air-cooled frequency converter. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the domestic inverter industry, the demand for higher power density, lower cost and better performance has become increasingly prominent. This is mainly because the existing 380V and 690V voltage level inverters can no longer meet the growing needs of customers and enterprises. In the fields of industrial automation, power transmission, motor control, etc., the requirements for inverters are not only to provide basic motor control functions, but also to make continuous improvements in high efficiency, stability, reliability and maintainability.

[0003] However, the design architecture of traditional inverters has some limitations. The commonly used design method is to use one IGBT for one gate-level driver board. This design is simple and reliable, but as the power demand increases, the number of IGBT modules required and the rated current of each module also increase. This not only increases the complexity and cost of the system, but also brings heat dissipation problems. The inverter requires a more powerful heat dissipation system to maintain a stable operating temperature, which leads to an increase in size and cost, limiting its application in some scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an air-cooled inverter to solve the problem that when multiple I GBT modules are connected in parallel, a large radiator is required to dissipate heat due to severe heat collection in the modules, resulting in a large chassis volume and often high structural costs. Due to the large space, the conductive rows have to be wound around, further leading to an increase in the cost of structural materials.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A wind-cooled inverter, characterized in that it includes a chassis shell, a fan, a radiator, a power device and a control circuit, the interior of the chassis shell is divided from left to right into a left power device cavity, a middle air duct cavity and a right power device cavity, the fan is fixedly arranged at the upper end or the lower end of the chassis shell and corresponds to the position of the middle air duct cavity, the radiator is fixedly installed in the middle air duct cavity, the power devices are respectively arranged in the left power device cavity and the right power device cavity, and the control circuit is fixedly arranged on the front side of the chassis shell.

[0007] According to a preferred technical solution, the front side of the chassis shell is folded into an independent control circuit cavity by sheet metal, and the control circuit is fixedly arranged in the control circuit cavity.

[0008] A preferred technical solution, the power device includes an electrolytic capacitor, an IGBT module and a rectifier module, the electrolytic capacitors are symmetrically installed inside the chassis shell and are respectively located in the left power device cavity and the right power device cavity, the IGBT module is fixedly installed on the substrate of the radiator and arranged in parallel along a first horizontal direction, the rectifier module is installed on the substrate of the radiator and arranged in a parallel array along a second horizontal direction, and the second horizontal direction is parallel to the first horizontal direction.

[0009] The preferred technical solution is that the gate drive board is non-detachably welded on the IGBT module, the inverter laminated conductive bar is detachably installed on the IGBT module, a current transformer is installed on the lower side of the IGBT module, a busbar conductive bar is detachably stacked on the rectifier module, a filter board is detachably installed on the busbar conductive bar, a surge absorption board and an absorption capacitor are detachably installed on the inverter laminated conductive bar, and a laminated busbar is installed on the electrolytic capacitor and the IGBT module.

[0010] A preferred technical solution is that a fan DC power supply, a DC positive conductive bar, a DC negative conductive bar, a brake unit module and a brake conductive bar are installed on the left and right sides of the fan and located on the inner side of the chassis shell. The brake unit module, the brake conductive bar and the DC positive conductive bar and the DC negative conductive bar are placed side by side.

[0012] According to a preferred technical solution, the thyristor drive board and the IGBT drive board are mounted on a substrate of a heat sink.

[0013] According to a preferred technical solution, the input conductive bar and the output conductive bar are installed at the bottom of the chassis shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. Aiming at the problems of multiple modules in parallel at each gate level of existing inverters, large size and poor heat dissipation, we proposed an inverter layout scheme with compact structure and better heat dissipation effect.

[0016] 2. The new structural layout adopts a book-style layout, with the IGBT module and the rectifier module placed symmetrically, and the electrolytic capacitors placed symmetrically on both sides. An independent air duct is provided in the middle, so that the devices are distributed on both sides in sequence, which greatly improves the space utilization rate, thereby greatly improving the power density of the inverter.

[0017] 3. In terms of electrical layout, this structural layout is more reasonable. The distance from each IGBT module and rectifier module to the electrolytic capacitor is the shortest, which effectively reduces the length of the circuit path, reduces resistance and inductance, and improves the performance of the entire inverter.

[0018] 4. In terms of EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) layout, this structural layout also takes into account the separation of strong electricity and weak electricity. By placing the PCB circuit board on the top plate, it effectively prevents the strong electromagnetic field of the conductive bus from interfering with the PCB weak current circuit, thereby effectively improving the electromagnetic compatibility of the entire system.
