[0002] As a frequently used vertical transportation tool in buildings, the energy consumption of elevators cannot be underestimated. During the operation of traditional elevator inverters, when the elevator decelerates, brakes or descends, the motor is in a power generation state and will generate a large amount of regenerative energy. If this energy cannot be effectively utilized, it is usually dissipated as heat on the braking resistor, resulting in energy waste. The elevator inverter with energy feedback emerged under such a background. It can feed back the regenerative energy generated during the operation of the elevator to the power grid, realizing the recovery and reuse of energy, thus greatly reducing the energy consumption of the elevator and meeting the requirements of sustainable development.

[0003] In the existing energy feedback module, it is integrally installed inside the inverter. When the inverter works, heat will be generated, and the heat generation of power devices is more obvious during energy feedback. Since the energy feedback module is integrated with the inverter, the heat is concentrated and the heat dissipation difficulty increases.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed an elevator inverter with energy feedback to solve the problems raised in the background art. Content of the Utility Model

[0025] The following further describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] Embodiment 1: As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 7 figures: The present invention provides an elevator inverter with energy feedback, including a cabinet 1, an inverter module 101 and an energy feedback module 102. The inverter module 101 is composed of a rectification unit, an inversion unit, a control unit, a power supply and a power filter. The energy feedback module 102 is composed of a feedback circuit, a control circuit, a protection circuit and a communication interface. A support member 8 is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The energy feedback module 102 is installed on the upper surface of the support member 8. The inverter module 101 is installed in the cabinet 1. The energy feedback module 102 is located above the inverter module 101. The energy feedback module 102 and the inverter module 101 are separated by the support member 8 to form a ventilation space, so that the two modules can work relatively independently while working, and at the same time can work together to achieve the efficient operation of the elevator and the energy feedback function; A ventilation component is provided on the side wall of the cabinet 1. The ventilation component can dissipate heat from the overall inverter respectively, and can also independently dissipate heat from the energy feedback module 102. At the same time, it can assist in discharging the heat at the gap between the inverter and the energy feedback module 102, avoiding the situation where the heat inside the inverter is concentrated and difficult to discharge;

[0027] The ventilation component includes a side plate 5 fixed to the side wall of the cabinet 1, a main heat dissipation grille 103 arranged at the other side wall of the cabinet 1, a plurality of ventilation slots 3 arranged at the side plate 5, a plurality of first fans 4 installed at the ventilation slots 3, a secondary heat dissipation grille 6 opened at the top of the side of the side plate 5, and a plurality of second fans 10 obliquely installed on the inner wall of the secondary heat dissipation grille 6; by the cooperation of the first fans 4 and the main heat dissipation grille 103, forced air convection can be formed at the ventilation slots 3 for the frequency converter module 101, effectively dissipating heat from the frequency converter module 101; by the cooperation of the obliquely installed second fans 10 and the secondary heat dissipation grille 6, heat dissipation of the energy feedback module 102 can be directly carried out.

[0028] The side plate 5 is of a "Z" - shaped plate structure, and a communication slot 11 is further arranged at the inner wall of the side plate 5. The communication slot 11 is located between the ventilation slot 3 and the secondary heat dissipation grille 6; by arranging the communication slot 11, since the second fans 10 are obliquely installed, part of the air flow at the ventilation slot 3 enters the cabinet 1 through the communication slot 11 and is located below the energy feedback module 102, so as to more stably assist in heat dissipation at the gap between the frequency converter module 101 and the energy feedback module 102, thus avoiding heat dissipation dead - angles and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0029] A top cover 7 is installed on the upper surface of the cabinet 1. The upper surface of the side plate 5 is fixedly connected with a first connecting plate 501, and the upper surface of the cabinet 1 is fixedly connected with a second connecting plate 12. The top cover 7 is fixed to the first connecting plate 501 and the second connecting plate 12 respectively.

[0030] A plurality of mounting holes 2 are arranged at the bottom surface of the cabinet 1, and side slots 14 are arranged on both side walls of the cabinet 1. Through the mounting holes 2, it is ensured that the machine body can be stably installed in the elevator machine room; by arranging the side slots 14, the ventilation effect on the side of the frequency converter is ensured.

[0031] A grille support plate 9 is installed on the upper surface of the support member 8, and the energy feedback module 102 is installed on the upper surface of the grille support plate 9. Due to the use of the grille support plate 9, heat dissipation at the bottom of the energy feedback module 102 and its circuit can be carried out smoothly, avoiding heat concentration.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, the first fans 4 are installed at the ventilation slots 3 of the side plate 5, and the main heat dissipation grille 103 is installed on the other side wall of the cabinet 1. When the frequency converter module 101 works and generates heat, the first fans 4 are started to generate air flow; the first fans 4 suck the external cold air into the cabinet 1 from the main heat dissipation grille 103. The cold air flows through the frequency converter module 101 under the action of pressure, exchanges heat with the heat - generating components, and the hot air after heat exchange is driven by the air flow generated by the first fans 4 and discharged from the cabinet 1 through the ventilation slots 3, thus realizing forced air convection heat dissipation for the frequency converter module 101.

[0033] The second fan 10 is obliquely installed on the inner wall of the secondary heat dissipation grille 6 at the top side of the side plate 5. When the energy feedback module 102 generates heat during operation, the second fan 10 starts. The second fan 10 sucks external cold air from the secondary heat dissipation grille 6 and directly blows it towards the energy feedback module 102. The cold air exchanges heat with the heat-generating components of the energy feedback module 102 and absorbs the heat. The hot air after heat exchange is discharged from the casing 1 under the action of the second fan 10, realizing direct heat dissipation of the energy feedback module 102.

[0034] Since the second fan 10 is obliquely installed, a certain negative pressure will be generated at the ventilation slot 3 during its operation. This causes some airflows at the ventilation slot 3 to enter the casing 1 through the communication slot 11. After entering the casing 1, this part of the airflows is located below the energy feedback module 102, providing auxiliary heat dissipation to the gap between the frequency converter module 101 and the energy feedback module 102, avoiding heat dissipation dead angles, and improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency.

[0035] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, a number of limiting holes 502 are provided on the side wall of the first connecting plate 501, and a number of clamping plates 701 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top cover 7. The clamping plates 701 are engaged with the limiting holes 502.

[0036] A number of connecting holes 702 are provided on the other inner wall of the top cover 7, and a number of positioning holes 13 are provided on the side wall of the second connecting plate 12. The positions of the connecting holes 702 correspond to those of the positioning holes 13. By inserting the clamping plates 701 into the limiting holes 502, screws are installed at the connecting holes 702 and the positioning holes 13.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, since the equipment needs to be maintained regularly, by removing the screws at the connecting holes 702, and because the thickness of the limiting holes 502 is greater than that of the clamping plates 701, at this time, the top cover 7 can be tilted at a certain angle along the connecting holes 702 and the clamping plates 701, so as to smoothly extract the clamping plates 701 from the first connecting plate 501, realizing the rapid disassembly of the top cover 7. Without disassembling the whole machine, the energy feedback module 102 can be quickly maintained. By removing the connecting bolts between the grille support plate 9 and the support member 8, the energy feedback module 102 can be removed, and the frequency converter module 101 can be quickly maintained.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and deformations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. The meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
