Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and specifically provides an electrical box component for an air conditioner and an air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] Air conditioning refers to equipment that regulates and controls the ambient air in a building or structure by artificial means. The cooling / heating system of an air conditioner mainly includes a compressor, an evaporator, a throttling device and a condenser, which are connected to form a closed-loop refrigerant circulation circuit. The normal operation of an air conditioner is inseparable from the electronic control device. For example, the electronic control device installed in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is generally installed in a fully enclosed box made of sheet metal, usually called an electrical box.
[0003] Traditional air conditioner electrical boxes mainly rely on natural convection to dissipate heat. However, with the rapid development of electronic technology, the heat flux density of electronic components in the electrical box is getting higher and higher, and the heat generated by the electrical box is also getting higher and higher. Traditional heat dissipation methods can no longer meet the needs.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, some electrical boxes are equipped with corresponding heat sinks and fans. By opening a hole on the back of the electrical box, regular-shaped power devices such as PIM (Power Integrated Module), IPM (Intelligent Power Module), IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) are placed on the back of the circuit board, and directly attached to the air-cooled heat sink outside the electrical box through the back opening, so that the airflow is driven by the outdoor unit fan to exchange heat with the air-cooled heat sink fins, or directly attached to the surface of the refrigerant radiator through the back opening, so that the heat is removed by the refrigerant convection heat exchange to improve the heat dissipation effect. Other devices such as inductors, capacitors, transformers and other irregular-shaped electronic components mainly exchange heat with the air in the box through convection and take away heat from the heat dissipation holes, and the heat dissipation effect is poor. At the same time, due to the current "three protection" (anti-corrosion, anti-salt spray, and anti-mildew) requirements of electronic equipment, as well as the harsh outdoor environment of the outdoor unit, there are also requirements for waterproofing, pest prevention, and dust prevention, so the use of a fully enclosed shell design to ensure the requirements of a high level of protection undoubtedly further increases the difficulty of heat dissipation of special-shaped electronic components in the box. In the existing fully enclosed electrical box heat dissipation solution, although cooling fans are generally used to enhance the air flow disturbance inside the box and transfer heat to the surface of the electric control box or the refrigerant radiator by thermal convection, the efficiency of this heat dissipation method is relatively low, and the presence of cooling fans may cause a decrease in system reliability.
[0005] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
