Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inverters, and particularly relates to a string inverter with fast heat dissipation. Background Art

[0002] A string inverter is an inverter based on the modular concept, mainly used to convert the direct current generated by solar cell modules into alternating current and output it to the power grid. Each photovoltaic string works through an inverter. Such a design enables the string inverter to have the function of maximum power peak tracking at the DC end and is connected in parallel at the AC end. This kind of inverter is mainly applied to relatively small-scale distributed photovoltaic power stations to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the photovoltaic power station. At the same time, due to its small size, light weight, easy installation and other characteristics, it is often used in places with complex terrain and is generally installed outdoors for use.

[0003] Chinese Patent (CN218335773U) discloses a string inverter with heat dissipation performance, including an inverter base box and a front panel. A plurality of internal threaded holes are opened at the edge of the front surface of the inverter base box, and the front panel is connected to the internal threaded holes through bolts. A connection terminal is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the inverter base box, and an interface protective cover is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the inverter base box around the connection terminal. The exhaust fan can cooperate with the exhaust air duct to discharge the heat inside the inverter base box to the outside of the inverter base box along the exhaust air duct by using gas as a carrier.

[0004] However, there are some drawbacks in the above related technologies. For example, when the string inverter works in harsh outdoor environments such as high temperature, dust, and rain, the exhaust fan and the exhaust air duct dissipate heat from the inverter. Since the positions of the exhaust fan and the exhaust air duct are adjacent, the probability of air convection in the inverter chassis is high, the air flow distribution is uneven, the heat dissipation effect is not good enough, and the connection terminal is exposed outside the inverter chassis and is prone to moisture, so the moisture-proof performance of the inverter is not good enough. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a string inverter with fast heat dissipation, which can achieve the purpose of fast heat dissipation.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be realized by the following technical solutions:
