Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of overload protection, in particular to an overload protection device for a frequency converter. Background Technique

[0002] A frequency converter is a power control device that controls the speed of an AC motor by changing the frequency of the motor's working power supply. The frequency converter mainly consists of a rectifier, a filter, an inverter, etc. The working principle of the frequency converter is to adjust the voltage and frequency of the output power supply by the on-off of the internal IGBT, so as to provide a suitable power supply voltage according to the actual needs of the motor, achieving the purpose of energy saving and speed regulation. In addition, the frequency converter also has a variety of protection functions, such as overcurrent, overvoltage, overload protection, etc., to ensure the safe and stable operation of the motor.

[0003] The existing frequency converters usually do not have overload protection during operation, which makes the internal components work under overvoltage for a long time. At the same time, in the case of overload, the temperature inside the frequency converter will increase, which is likely to cause component damage, resulting in failures of the externally connected drive motors, increasing production costs, and reducing the stability and safety of the system operation. Therefore, an overload protection device for a frequency converter is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Specific embodiments

[0021] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] As Figure 1 And Figure 2 Shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution for an overload protection device of a frequency converter, including a frequency converter body 1, a frequency converter base 2 fixedly installed on the frequency converter body 1, installation through-holes 3 provided at the four corners of the frequency converter base 2, a wiring port 4 provided on the frequency converter body 1, a wiring mechanism 5 provided at the wiring port 4, and a protection mechanism 6 provided in the insulating sleeve 501. By the combined use of the wiring mechanism 5 and the protection mechanism 6, the power supply of the frequency converter can be disconnected when the frequency converter is overloaded, protecting the frequency converter components.

[0023] As Figure 2 And Figure 3 Shown, the wiring mechanism 5 includes an insulating sleeve 501 installed in the wiring port 4, a socket terminal 504 fixedly installed in the insulating sleeve 501, a wiring ferrule 502 movably installed in the insulating sleeve 501, a metal pin 503 fixedly installed on the wiring ferrule 502, a fixing screw 506 connected to the wiring ferrule 502, a movable chute 507 opened at the bottom of the insulating sleeve 501, the fixing screw 506 extends into the insulating sleeve 501 through the movable chute 507, and a connecting wire 505 is provided on the socket terminal 504.

[0024] Specifically, after the power cord is inserted into the wiring terminal sleeve 502, the fixing screw 506 can be tightened to fix the power cord within the wiring terminal sleeve 502. After the power cord is fixed within the wiring terminal sleeve 502, the wiring terminal sleeve 502 can be pushed forward to insert the metal pin 503 into the socket terminal 504. When the metal pin 503 is inserted into the socket terminal 504, the solder bar 603 is embedded into the limit card slot 604, thereby restricting the movement of the wiring terminal sleeve 502 and keeping the power cord stably connected.

[0025] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the protection mechanism 6 includes a second spring 605 disposed between the wiring terminal sleeve 502 and the socket terminal 504. A metal slider 602 is movably installed on the wiring terminal sleeve 502. A solder bar 603 is disposed above the metal slider 602. A first spring 601 is disposed below the metal slider 602. A limit card slot 604 is formed inside the insulating sleeve 501. Insulating gaskets 606 are provided at both ends of the second spring 605. One end of the second spring 605 is located at the wiring terminal sleeve 502, and the other end of the second spring 605 is located at the socket terminal 504.

[0026] Specifically, once the inverter body 1 is overloaded, the current passing through the wiring terminal sleeve 502 will increase, causing the heat generation of the wiring terminal sleeve 502 to increase. The increased heat will melt the solder bar 603. After the solder bar 603 melts, the second spring 605 will reset. After the second spring 605 resets, it will push the wiring terminal sleeve 502 forward to disengage the metal pin 503 from the socket terminal 504, disconnecting the power supply of the inverter during overload.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, first fix the connecting wire 505 in the wiring port 4 on the inverter body 1. After the connecting wire 505 is fixed in the wiring port 4 on the inverter body 1, the power cord can be inserted into the wiring sleeve 502. After the power cord is inserted into the wiring sleeve 502, the fixing screw 506 can be tightened to fix the power cord in the wiring sleeve 502. After the power cord is fixed in the wiring sleeve 502, the wiring sleeve 502 can be pushed forward to insert the metal pin 503 into the socket terminal 504, thereby connecting the power supply of the inverter body 1. Since, one end of the first spring 601 is connected to the bottom of the metal slider 602, and the other end of the first spring 601 is connected to the bottom of the movable groove, after the metal pin 503 is inserted into the socket terminal 504, the first spring 601 will push the metal slider 602 upward When the metal slider 602 moves upward, it will drive the tin bar 603 to embed into the limit card slot 604, so as to limit the movement of the wiring sleeve 502. During the use of the inverter body 1, the current will pass through the wiring sleeve 502, causing the wiring sleeve 502 to heat up. Once the inverter body 1 is overloaded, the current passing through the wiring sleeve 502 will increase, causing the heat generated by the wiring sleeve 502 to increase, and melt the tin bar 603. Since one end of the second spring 605 is located at the wiring sleeve 502, and the other end of the second spring 605 is located at the socket terminal 504, the second spring 605 will reset after the tin bar 603 melts. After the second spring 605 is reset, it will push the wiring sleeve 502 to move forward, causing the metal pin 503 to disengage from the socket terminal 504, and disconnect the power supply of the inverter when the inverter is overloaded, thereby protecting the inverter components.

[0028] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
