Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inverters, in particular to a string inverter with multiple heat sinks. Background Art

[0002] With the development of solar energy technology, solar energy is applied in more and more places and venues. The conversion of solar energy into electrical energy requires photovoltaic inverters. Among photovoltaic inverters, string inverters have a very good effect. String photovoltaic inverters are not only more powerful and intelligent, but also the power of a single machine continues to break through the upper limit. There are mainly two types of string photovoltaic inverters: natural cooling and forced air cooling.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN211183818U discloses a string inverter with both dustproof and excellent heat dissipation performance, including an inverter box, a string inverter element installed in the inverter box, a dustproof plate provided on the inner wall of the inverter box near the bottom, a U-shaped mounting plate provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the inverter box, three groups of symmetrically distributed high-speed silent fans provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped mounting plate and near the edges on both sides, a plurality of air inlets arranged at equal intervals are provided at the bottom of the inverter box, and symmetrically distributed triangular air outlets are provided at the top of both sides of the inverter box. The string inverter with both dustproof and excellent heat dissipation performance can blow air into the inverter box to dissipate heat through a high-speed silent fan, accelerate the heat dissipation of the inverter element, and prevent dust from entering the inverter box through the dustproof plate.

[0004] In the specific use of the above-mentioned prior art, although the inverter box can be cooled by blowing air through a high-speed silent fan, the fan is easily damaged when working in a harsh outdoor environment with a lot of dust, and the dustproof plate and the filter plate are also easily blocked, resulting in a shortened service life of the fan, the dustproof plate and the filter plate. Frequent replacement and repair will bring expensive repair costs. At the same time, a damaged fan will affect the heat dissipation of the inverter. Failure to replace it in time will cause the electronic components to age faster, affecting the service life of the string inverter. In view of this, we propose a string inverter with multiple heat sinks. Utility Model Content
