The device accommodating cavity 9 and the liquid cooling cavity 13 are preferably arranged adjacent to each other, and the liquid cooling cavity 13 contains flowing coolant to cool the device accommodating cavity 9.
[0038] The heating device is encapsulated in the device accommodating cavity 9, and the heating device is relatively insulated from the housing. Specifically, the device accommodating cavity 9 can be divided into a plurality of device installation chambers by a partition plate 7, and the device installation chambers are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the liquid cooling cavity 13.
[0039] In order to facilitate the heat dissipation of the heating device, a heat conducting member 8 is provided on the wall of the device accommodating cavity 9 facing the liquid cooling cavity 13, and the width of the heat conducting member 8 gradually increases toward the liquid cooling cavity 13 to increase the heat exchange area. At the same time, the heating device can also be installed on the heat conducting member 8.
[0040] When the chassis is working, the heat of the heating device is dissipated through the potting medium to transport the coolant to the liquid cooling chamber 13. The coldness of the liquid cooling chamber 13 is heat-exchanged with the heat of the device accommodating chamber 9 to remove the heat of the heating device.
[0041] From the above description, it can be seen that in the chassis provided in the specific embodiment of the present application, the chassis adopts liquid cooling for heat dissipation, and the heat-generating components are potted, so that the heat of the heat-generating components can be dissipated as quickly as possible, and heat exchange between heat and cooling liquid is realized. The cooling method does not involve electrical components and has high reliability. The heat dissipation effect of liquid cooling is better, and the heat of the heat-generating components can be brought out in time. Therefore, the service life of the chassis provided by the present application is extended.
[0042] The heating device may include an inductor, and the heating device may also include a winding and a magnetic core of a transformer. Preferably, the chassis provided by the present application is used in the field of photovoltaic energy storage devices. The present application can reduce the inductor, the coil cross-sectional area of the transformer, the volume of the magnetic core, improve the electrical density, reduce the volume of the magnetic core, allow higher losses, and reduce the overall volume of the chassis, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the chassis and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, the housing includes a main body 1 and a sealing plate 4, and a partition 14 is provided in the main body 1 for isolating the device accommodating cavity 9 and the liquid cooling cavity 13.

[0044] The sealing plate 4 is sealed and connected to the main body 1, and a liquid cooling chamber 13 is formed between the sealing plate 4, the main body 1 and the partition plate 14. In order to improve the sealing performance, a sealing ring is provided at the connection position between the sealing plate 4 and the main body 1.
[0045] The device accommodating cavity 9 is located above the liquid cooling cavity 13, and the sealing plate 4 is sealed with the bottom end of the main body 1. Specifically, the sealing plate 4 can be a flat plate structure, and the partition 14 is recessed in the inner cavity of the main body 1.

Specifically, preferably, each wall surface of the main body 1 is provided with a first connector 5, and preferably, each wall surface is provided with at least two first connectors 5 to improve the connection stability and the sealing of the liquid cooling chamber 13.
[0047] When the housing is a metal part, the housing and / or the heating element are insulated. Specifically, the winding and the magnetic core of the internal inductor or transformer are insulated from the main body 1. If the main body 1 is non-metallic, it is not necessary to insulate the internal heating element from the main body 1.
[0048] In order to improve assembly efficiency, preferably, the second connector 6 is integrally formed with the main body 1, and the first connector 5 is integrally formed with the sealing plate 4. In specific processing, the second connector 6 is integrally cast with the main body 1, and the first connector 5 is integrally cast with the sealing plate 4.
[0049] In order to improve the heat dissipation effect, preferably, a guide plate 10 is provided in the liquid cooling chamber 13 to set the flow channel in the liquid cooling chamber 13 as a curved flow channel. Specifically, the flow channel is set in an S shape. The liquid inlet 2 and the liquid outlet 3 of the liquid cooling chamber 13 are located on the same side of the shell. Of course, the liquid inlet 2 and the liquid outlet 3 of the liquid cooling chamber 13 can also be located on different sides. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the flow channel adopts a disc-shaped bend to increase the contact area between the shell and the coolant, so that the coolant can pass through the bottom of the shell as far as possible, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
[0050] In order to facilitate external connection of cooling liquid, preferably, the liquid inlet 2 and the liquid outlet 3 of the liquid cooling chamber 13 are located on the same side of the housing.
[0051] The guide plate 10 may specifically be a planar structure. In order to achieve flow disturbance for the coolant, the guide plate 10 may also be set as a corrugated plate structure.
[0052] The sealing plate 4 is provided with a mounting groove 12 adapted to the guide plate 10, and the free end of the guide plate 10 is inserted into the mounting groove 12.

Preferably, the two are clearance-matched. By providing the mounting groove 12 on the sealing plate 4, the installation stability of the guide plate 10 is improved, and the sealing of the installation position of the guide plate 10 and the sealing plate 4 is improved, so that the coolant flows along a preset path.
[0053] Of course, in another embodiment, the guide plate 10 can be installed on the sealing plate 4, and the partition plate 14 can also be provided with a mounting groove 12 that matches the sealing plate 4.

By providing the heat dissipation column 11, the contact area between the housing and the coolant can be increased, and the coolant can generate turbulence in the liquid cooling water channel, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
[0055] More preferably, the heat dissipation columns 11 are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the coolant in the liquid cooling chamber 13, and the heat dissipation columns 11 are arranged in a shuttle shape along the flow direction of the coolant in the liquid cooling chamber 13. Preferably, two adjacent heat dissipation columns 11 are separated and staggered along the flow direction of the coolant, that is, the projections of the two along the flow direction of the coolant do not overlap. When the heating module is working, the internal coil and magnetic core will generate heat. At this time, the coolant at the bottom can dissipate the heat of the winding and the magnetic core, achieving the effect of dissipating heat and cooling the product.
[0056] In order to further improve the heat dissipation effect, preferably, the heat dissipation column 11 and the guide plate 10 are heat-conducting structures, and both are installed on the partition 14.
