Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging piles, and specifically relates to a refrigeration system applied to the heat dissipation of high-power charging piles. Background Art

[0002] A charging pile refers to a charging device that provides energy supplementation for electric vehicles. Its function is similar to that of a fuel dispenser in a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or wall, installed in public buildings (public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential community parking lots or charging stations, and can charge various models of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels.

[0003] In recent years, with the rapid growth in the usage of electric vehicles, the number of its supporting charging piles has also increased. From AC home charging piles to DC fast charging piles, the market penetration rate has been continuously improving. When the charging pile is in the working state, a lot of heat will be generated. In order to enable the charging pile to work normally and ensure that the internal components of the charging pile are at an appropriate working temperature, it is necessary to dissipate heat inside the charging pile.

[0004] Most of the current charging piles on the market adopt forced air cooling for heat dissipation. This is a low-cost solution. However, as the charging power increases, it is difficult for air cooling to meet the requirements, and the noise generated by it will also pollute the environment. An effective heat dissipation solution for high-power charging piles will become a major technical difficulty in the industry. To meet the internal heat dissipation requirements of high-power charging piles, there are currently the following two not very mature solutions in the industry: 1. Water cooling solution: By setting up a water cooling system inside the charging pile, using the water cycle to take away the heat generated by the internal components of the charging pile, and then using an external fan to dissipate heat from the radiator. This solution can improve heat dissipation to a certain extent, but its efficiency is not high (water is used as the heat transfer medium); 2. Air cooling solution: By selecting a centrifugal DC fan to achieve the convection of internal and external air, thereby reducing the temperature inside the charging pile. However, as an outdoor electrical device, the charging pile needs to meet the dustproof level of IP5X, and dustproof cotton is often set at the air inlet, which will greatly reduce the air inlet area and affect the working efficiency of the fan, resulting in certain bottlenecks in heat dissipation.

[0005] It can be seen that a refrigeration system applied to the heat dissipation of high-power charging piles is needed to solve the following deficiencies in the two cooling solutions in the industry mentioned in the above background art: 1. Water cooling solution: This system uses water as the heat transfer medium, its efficiency is very low, and it uses a water pump as the power output, and its noise is also very large. The stability of the whole system is insufficient, and after-sales maintenance is required, increasing the cost; 2. Air cooling solution: The centrifugal fan has relatively large noise, and it needs to be matched with a relatively large air inlet to play its role. When the outside air temperature is relatively high, the heat dissipation effect it can achieve is not very ideal. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a refrigeration system applied to the heat dissipation of high-power charging piles, so as to solve the deficiencies existing in the two cooling schemes in the industry in the above-mentioned background technology: 1.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] First embodiment

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 、 2 Figures 3, 4 and 5. A refrigeration system for the heat dissipation of a high-power charging pile. By arranging a refrigeration module inside the high-power charging pile and realizing the heat dissipation of the internal charging module through the principle of compressor refrigeration, the compressor refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, a fan, a drier filter, a capillary tube, an evaporator and a refrigerant, etc. The compressor is the core component of the refrigeration system and is installed in the top space of the charging pile. The condenser is a key component of the refrigeration system and combines with the fan to dissipate heat from the whole system, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the system; it is installed at the top position of the charging pile, and heat dissipation holes need to be opened on the left and right sides of the top of the charging pile; at the same time, temperature probes are arranged on the condenser copper pipe to prevent the system from being damaged due to poor heat dissipation of the condenser (when the monitored temperature is higher than the critical value, the compressor can be controlled to shut down). The drier filter is an important component of the refrigeration system and is used to dry the internal gaseous refrigerant. The capillary tube is a key component of the refrigeration system and is used to throttle and control the flow rate of the refrigerant. The evaporator is arranged below the compressor (inside the air-cooling channel of the charging module), and the outside of the air-cooling channel is wrapped with heat-insulating cotton or foaming layer. When the compressor works, the evaporator will absorb heat and take away the heat generated by the charging module during operation, thereby playing the role of module heat dissipation. The refrigerant is the medium of the refrigeration system, and a non-flammable and non-explosive refrigerant needs to be selected for outdoor charging piles.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to better achieve the heat dissipation of the charging module, the present technology will set a heat-insulating layer and a waterproof and breathable film in the air-cooling channel, so as to achieve heat dissipation more safely and efficiently. During the use of compression refrigeration, multiple temperature probes will be set outside and inside the charging pile, and the start and stop of the compressor will be realized through logical judgment, so as to prevent the condensation phenomenon caused by the temperature difference.

[0033] In this embodiment, the working principle of the refrigeration system is that the compressor converts the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and transports it to the condenser. The condenser dissipates heat from this part of the gas through a heat dissipation fan to obtain low-temperature and high-pressure gas, which becomes low-temperature and low-pressure liquid through a drying filter and a capillary tube. The evaporator conducts the low temperature into the space of the charging module through a cold air supply fan, and finally the high-temperature and low-pressure gas in the copper tube returns to the compressor.

[0034] In this embodiment, the refrigeration system is arranged above the charging module of the high-power charging pile, which is convenient for the cold air supply fan to transport the cold quantity to the charging module. A waterproof and breathable film is arranged in the air-cooling channel to block the water vapor generated by the high and low temperature difference and prevent the water vapor from affecting the normal operation of the charging module. The charging module, the evaporator and the cold air supply fan are in a closed and heat-insulating space to form an internal air circulation, and the heat will be discharged outside the pile body through the refrigeration unit of the evaporator. Multiple temperature and humidity sensors are arranged in the space of the refrigeration unit and the charging module. The temperature value is used to judge the start and stop conditions of the compressor, and the humidity value is used to adjust the refrigeration power of the compressor. The double-valve body design facilitates the disassembly of the refrigeration unit and the evaporator, and is convenient for assembly and maintenance. After the refrigeration unit is assembled in advance, an appropriate amount of refrigerant is added through the valve body, and the evaporator pipeline can be connected to the system later. After evacuating through the valve body, it is connected to the refrigeration system.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits. The scope is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
