[0027] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings: Example

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, an inverter housing structure includes an upper cover 1 and a lower housing 4;

[0029] The upper cover 1 is fixedly mounted on the lower shell 4. A plurality of studs 6 are provided on the bottom surface of the upper cover 1. An end portion 5 is provided on the top of the lower shell 4 (one end close to the upper cover 1). The end portion 5 extends outward to form an annular edge portion 51. The annular edge portion 51 is provided with a plurality of recesses 7 corresponding to the studs 6. The studs 6 are pressed into the recesses 7 to achieve alignment assembly. Screw through holes 9 are provided on the recesses 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, the end portion 5 and the annular edge portion 51 are collectively referred to as an end portion assembly, or in other words, the end portion assembly includes the end portion 5 and the annular edge portion 51 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the height of the stud 6 matches the depth of the recess 7 (the vertical distance between the upper surface of the rim 51 and the bottom of the recess 7 ).

[0032] A screw 2 is inserted into the screw through hole 9 , with the screw-on end of the screw 2 facing upward, and the stud 6 and the recess 7 are fixedly mounted together by the screw 2 , thereby achieving fixed installation of the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 4 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the studs 6 are distributed in a ring shape on the bottom surface of the upper cover 1, and there are ten studs 6; in other embodiments, the studs 6 may be two, four, six, eight or other even numbers. It can be understood that in one embodiment, when there are four or more studs 6, if the bottom surface profile of the upper cover 1 is a rectangle, the number of studs 6 in the width direction of the bottom surface of the upper cover 1 is less than or equal to the number of studs 6 in the length direction of the bottom surface of the upper cover 1; if the bottom surface profile of the upper cover 1 is a square, the studs on the bottom surface of the upper cover 1 are evenly arranged.

[0034] In one embodiment, the inverter housing structure further includes a sealing ring strip 3 , which is cushioned between the upper cover 1 and the lower housing 4 .

[0035] In one embodiment, the upper cover 1 has a cover body 11 and a lower edge 12 located around the cover body 11, and the sealing ring strip 3 is padded between the lower surface (bottom surface) of the cover body 11 and the upper surface of the end 5; a plurality of studs 6 are arranged on the bottom surface of the cover body 11. When the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 4 are fixedly installed, the lower edge 12 wraps around the annular edge 51, so that the inverter has good integrity and is dust and moisture resistant.

[0036] It can be understood that the number of the studs 6 is consistent with the number of the recesses 7 / screw through holes 9.

[0037] In this embodiment, a threaded hole 10 is provided on the stud 6 , and the end of the screw 2 is screwed into the threaded hole 10 . Example

[0038] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, an inverter housing structure includes an upper cover 1 and a lower housing 4; the upper cover 1 is fixedly mounted on the lower housing 4, a plurality of studs 6 are provided on the bottom surface of the upper cover 1, and an end 5 is provided on the top of the lower housing 4 (one end close to the upper cover 1). The difference from Example 1 is that, in the inverter housing structure of Example 2, an outer ring portion 8 is provided on the outer periphery of the lower housing 4 below the end 5, compared with the local recess (recess 7) in Example 1, the outer ring portion 8 is sunken relative to the end 5 in a whole circle (that is, the position height of the outer ring portion 8 is lower than the end 5), and screw through holes 9 are provided on the outer ring portion 8. It can be understood that the screw through holes 9 pass through the outer ring portion 8.

[0039] In Embodiment 2, the end portion 5 and the outer ring portion 8 are collectively referred to as an end assembly, and the recess of the end assembly refers to the outer ring portion 8 at this time; it can be understood that in other embodiments, the end assembly may also be other styles having a recess that matches the stud 6 on the upper cover 1.

[0040] It can be understood that the depth of the outer ring portion 8 (the height of the sinking, ie, the vertical distance between the upper surface of the end portion 5 and the upper surface of the outer ring portion 8 ) matches the height of the stud 6 .

[0041] Similar to the first embodiment, the inverter housing structure of the second embodiment may also include a sealing ring strip 3 , and the sealing ring strip 3 is padded between the upper cover 1 and the lower housing 4 .

[0042] It can be understood that in Example 2, when the upper cover 1 has a cover body 11 and a lower edge 12 located around the cover body 11, the sealing ring strip 3 is padded between the lower surface (bottom surface) of the cover body 11 and the upper surface of the end 5; when the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 4 are fixedly installed, the lower edge 12 wraps around the outer ring portion 8, so that the inverter has good integrity and is dust and moisture proof.

[0043] In the above two embodiments, the stud 6 of the upper cover 1 can have various shapes. If the main body (cover body 11) of the upper cover 1 is a flat sheet metal structure, the stud 6 can be made into a rivet stud or a rivet riveted to the main body (cover body 11) of the upper cover 1; if the main body (cover body 11) of the upper cover 1 is a curved sheet metal structure, the stud 6 can be made into a die-cast part welded to the main body (cover body 11) of the upper cover 1; if the main body (cover body 11) of the upper cover 1 is a die-cast part or a plastic part, the stud 6 can be designed as a stud accompanying the main body (cover body 11) of the upper cover 1.

[0044] The lower shell 4 can generally be made by sheet metal, die casting or injection molding, and has two forms (structures). Form one is to locally make a recessed portion 7 accompanying the lower shell 4 (Example 1), and form two is a whole circle of the outer ring portion 8 sunk (Example 2). Both structures are easy to implement, and can achieve the effect of fastening between the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 4 without increasing too much cost; the screw 2 is inserted into the screw through hole 9 from bottom to top, and then the two shells (lower shell 4, upper cover 1) are fixed by the screw 2; when there is a sealing ring strip 3, the sealing ring strip 3 is first fixed to the lower shell 4 or the upper cover 1, and the screw 2 is inserted into the screw through hole 9 from bottom to top, and then the two shells (lower shell 4, upper cover 1) are fixed by the screw 2; that is, the two shells (lower shell 4, upper cover 1) are fixed by tightening the screw 2 from bottom to top (the screw-on end of the screw 2 is screwed into the stud 6).

[0045] In the above embodiment, there are no screw holes on the front or side of the upper cover 1, which improves the integrity and consistency of the product shell structure, the connection between the upper cover and the lower shell is firm, and the product (inverter) has high reliability.

[0046] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above-mentioned embodiments. The above-mentioned embodiments and the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements shall fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
