Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of frequency converters, in particular to a frequency converter housing structure. Background Art
[0002] As a common electronic device, a frequency converter mainly consists of electronic components such as rectification (AC to DC), filtering, inversion (DC to AC), braking unit, drive unit (IGBT module), detection unit, and microprocessing unit.
[0003] The housing of the frequency converter, as the main structure of the frequency converter, serves to install the above-mentioned electronic components and protect these electronic components. Usually, the housing of the frequency converter mainly includes an upper housing and a lower housing that are fixedly connected to each other. A circuit board integrated with the above-mentioned electronic components is installed at the upper port of the lower housing. The circuit board usually covers the upper port of the lower housing. High-power electronic components on the circuit board, such as capacitors, drive units (IGBT modules), etc., often extend downward into the lower housing. To improve the heat dissipation performance of these high-power electronic components, a fan installation cavity is usually provided at one end of the housing, a fan is installed therein, and ventilation holes are provided on the side wall of the lower housing. By using the drainage effect during the operation of the fan, external air is introduced into the lower housing, and the heat is taken away and then discharged. During the long-term use of the fan, a large amount of dust will inevitably accumulate on its fan blades and needs to be cleaned regularly. Moreover, when the fan fails or is damaged, it is necessary to first remove the upper housing and then the circuit board before the fan below can be taken out, which is obviously inconvenient to operate. In addition, in order to facilitate wiring, the wiring terminals of the circuit board need to be exposed, which will obviously affect the service life of the wiring terminals.

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] See Figure 1-11, a frequency converter housing structure, including an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2 fixedly connected to each other. A circuit board is installed at the upper port of the lower housing 2, and the wiring terminals 3 of the circuit board are exposed. A fan placement cavity 4 is provided inside the lower housing 2. At one end of the upper housing 2 corresponding to the wiring terminals, there is a concave cavity 5. A terminal cover plate 6 is detachably installed between the two inner walls of the concave cavity 5 for protecting the wiring terminals 3 from the outside. An opening is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing 2 at a position corresponding to the fan placement cavity 4, and a fan cover plate 7 is detachably installed.
[0029] In the present utility model, a horizontal clamping rib 8 is integrally connected to the rear inner wall of the concave cavity 5, and a buckle 9 that cooperates with the horizontal clamping rib 8 is integrally connected to the rear side of the terminal cover plate 6.
[0030] In the present utility model, vertical convex ribs 10 are integrally connected to the two inner walls of the concave cavity 5, and vertical grooves 11 that cooperate with the vertical convex ribs 10 are respectively provided on the two sides of the terminal cover plate 6.
[0031] Thus, after completing the wiring of the wiring terminals 3, the terminal cover plate 6 is pressed inward from the outside until the buckle 9 is clamped with the horizontal clamping rib 8. At this time, the vertical convex ribs 10 on both sides are respectively clamped into the vertical grooves 11 on both sides to fix the terminal cover plate 6 between the two inner walls of the concave cavity 5 and play a role in protecting the wiring terminals 3 from the outside.
[0032] In the present utility model, screw holes are respectively provided on both sides of the opening on the bottom surface of the lower housing 2. Mounting seats 12 are integrally connected to both sides of the fan cover plate 7, and through holes 13 penetrating through its upper and lower surfaces are provided on the mounting seats 12.
[0033] Thus, a screw is inserted into the through hole 13, and then the screw is rotated so that the screw is screwed into the screw hole. After tightening the screw, the fan cover plate 7 can be fixed in the opening.
[0034] Conversely, loosen and remove the screw, and after removing the fan cover plate 7, the internal fan can be removed.
[0035] In the present utility model, an insertion slot 14 extending along the width direction is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing 2 for inserting a track mounting seat. A limiting block 15 is integrally connected to the inner wall of the insertion slot 14 on the side close to the fan cover plate 7 for limiting one side of the track mounting seat; a clamping groove is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing 2 on the side far from the fan cover plate, and a clamping pressure plate 16 is clamped in the clamping groove. The clamping pressure plate 16 is clamped on the other side of the track mounting seat to limit and fix the track mounting seat.
[0036] In the present utility model, a window 17 is provided at the front end of the buckle plate 16. An inverted V-shaped buckle 18 is integrally connected to the inner edge at the rear side of the window 17. A convex column 19 is integrally connected to the bottom surface of the card slot. The inverted V-shaped buckle 18 is snapped onto the convex column 19, thereby realizing the snap-fitting of the buckle plate 16 into the card slot.
[0037] In the present utility model, mounting holes 20 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom of the lower housing 2, thereby realizing the installation of the entire frequency converter.
[0038] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0039] During assembly, after the circuit board and the electronic components thereon are installed, the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are fixedly connected by screws.
[0040] Then, after the wiring of the terminal block 3 is completed, the terminal cover plate 6 is pressed inward from the outside until the buckle 9 is snapped onto the horizontal card rib 8. At this time, the vertical convex ribs 10 on both sides are respectively snapped into the vertical grooves 11 on both sides, thereby realizing the fixation of the terminal cover plate 6 between the inner walls on both sides of the cavity 5, playing a role in protecting the terminal block 3 from the outside. At this time, the wiring can naturally fill the gap between the terminal cover plate 6 and the bottom surface of the cavity 5, preventing dust and water from entering, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the terminal block 3.
[0041] When installing the entire frequency converter, there are two installation modes:
[0042] One is to insert a screw into the mounting hole 20 and then rotate the screw so that the screw is screwed into the corresponding screw hole. After tightening the screw, the fixed installation of the entire frequency converter can be realized.
[0043] The other is to push the track mounting seat inward from the outside into the insertion slot 14. After it is in place, the buckle plate 16 is snap-fitted into the card slot. At this time, the limiting block 15 limits one side of the track mounting seat, and the buckle plate 16 buckles on the other side of the track mounting seat, realizing the limiting and fixing of the track mounting seat.
[0044] After the assembly of the entire frequency converter and the track mounting seat is completed, the track mounting seat is fixedly installed at the corresponding position, and the fixed installation of the entire frequency converter can be realized.
[0045] When the fan needs to be cleaned, maintained or replaced, only need to loosen and remove the screw, and after removing the fan cover plate 7, the internal fan can be removed. There is no need to first remove the upper housing 1 and the circuit board in sequence and then remove the fan, thus improving the operability, which is convenient and fast.
