Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic box transformers, and particularly to a photovoltaic box transformer with a temperature monitoring function. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of photovoltaic power generation technology, as an important device connecting photovoltaic power stations and power grids, the performance and safety of photovoltaic box transformers have become increasingly important. Photovoltaic box transformers not only need to carry out the conversion function of high-voltage current, but also need to maintain long-term stable operation under various harsh environmental conditions. However, during long-term operation, the temperature of the equipment is likely to change. Especially in the case of overloading or poor heat dissipation, it may cause the equipment to overheat, and even lead to failures or safety accidents. Therefore, timely and accurate monitoring of the temperature inside the box has become an important measure to ensure the safe operation of photovoltaic box transformers.

[0003] Existing photovoltaic box transformers usually adopt simple temperature monitoring devices, or only alarm through the protection mechanism when the switch temperature is too high. However, most of these traditional temperature monitoring devices are temperature sensors concentrated inside the box. For example, in a new energy photovoltaic box transformer cooling device disclosed in a Chinese patent with the application number CN202410783068.5, the temperature sensor is arranged inside the cabinet. This assembly has the defect of complex installation and maintenance. Especially when it is necessary to check or replace the temperature sensor, it is often necessary to disassemble the transformer shell, which increases the difficulty and workload of maintenance. Moreover, this kind of structure usually relies on bolts for fixed installation. When it is necessary to check, maintain or replace the temperature sensor, it is necessary to use tools to disassemble multiple bolts. This is not only cumbersome to operate, but also may face high operation difficulty in some scenarios with limited installation space, affecting the maintenance efficiency.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] When installing the circuit board 31, face the front side of the circuit board 31 to the left and insert it vertically and laterally into the inner cavity 22. Then, respectively insert the two positioning bumps 33 into the two positioning slots 621 in a damped manner, so that the circuit board 31 is positioned in cooperation with the pressing member to prevent the circuit board 31 from falling. Next, control the electric cylinder 76 to act. The electric cylinder 76 will drive the two movable seats 73 to move, and the rollers 82 will move along the inclined guide surface 741 on the force-applying contact block 74, thereby causing the movable pressing plate 62 to move leftward and driving the circuit board 31 to move leftward until the two positioning posts 32 on the circuit board 31 are in contact with the side wall of the box body 11. At this time, the temperature sensor 311 will be in contact with the side wall of the box body 11, and the temperature inside the box body 11 will be monitored based on contact heat conduction. Finally, form an insertion fit between the first insertion terminal 511 on the circuit board 31 and the first socket 512, so that the power supply supplies power to the temperature sensor 311. The temperature sensor 311 can feedback the monitored temperature value to the single-chip microcomputer 421 and display it on the display screen 43. Additionally, the temperature value can also be remotely transmitted to the terminal.

[0046] When disassembling the circuit board 31, control the electric cylinder 76 to act, so that the movable pressing plate 62 moves rightward and drives the circuit board 31 to move rightward at the same time. A gap is generated between the movable pressing plate 62 and the side wall of the box body 11 for the hand to reach in. Then, pull the circuit board 31 to the left. After the two positioning bumps 33 are separated from the two positioning slots 621, the circuit board 31 can be taken out.

[0047] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make modifications without creative contributions to this embodiment according to needs after reading this specification, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
