Abstract
Description

[0002] Related electrical products, such as micro-inverter products and micro-storage products, need to meet the protection level of IP65 or above. At the same time, since high-power devices are configured in the electrical products, the electrical products generate a large amount of heat during operation. It is necessary to solve the problem of temperature rise of the internal devices of the electrical products to avoid the abnormal operation of the electrical products or the equipment using the electrical products due to too high temperature.
[0003] Currently, the related electrical products on the market all adopt the scheme of filling with thermal conductive glue, that is, filling the inner cavity of the shell of the electrical product with thermal conductive glue. With this scheme of filling with thermal conductive glue, a large amount of thermal conductive glue is required, increasing the manufacturing cost. At the same time, a large amount of thermal conductive glue is also likely to increase the weight of the whole machine, thereby increasing the logistics cost. At the same time, in the production process, due to the large amount of glue filling, more glue filling time is required, resulting in a higher manufacturing cost of the overall electrical product.

[0028] Combined with Figures 1 to 4 , in some embodiments, the electrical device may include a housing 10 and a power board 20. The housing 10 is provided with a plurality of enclosing parts 30, and the plurality of enclosing parts 30 are not connected to each other. Each enclosing part 30 is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating thermal conductive glue, and the receiving cavities between the enclosing parts 30 are all independently arranged and not connected to each other. Here, the case where the plurality of enclosing parts 30 includes one enclosing part 30, in this embodiment, the number of the enclosing parts 30 can be multiple, such as two, three, four, or any other number. Preferably, the enclosing part 30 may include but is not limited to a first enclosing part 31, a second enclosing part 32, a third enclosing part 33, and a fourth enclosing part 34. In other embodiments, the enclosing part 30 can also be defined as a "fence structure".
[0029] A number of device groups 21 are provided on the power board 20. The device groups 21 are installed in the accommodation cavity and are wrapped by the thermal conductive adhesive in the accommodation cavity. Here, the case where there is one device group 21 is included. In this embodiment, the number of the device groups 21 can be multiple, such as two, three, four or any other number. Preferably, the device group 21 may include, but is not limited to, a first device group 211, a second device group 212, a third device group 213, and a fourth device group 214. Further, each device group 21 includes a number of power devices.

The power device can be a high-loss device with a large amount of heat generation. Among them, the power device includes, but is not limited to, a capacitor, an inductor, a resistor, and a transformer.
[0030] In this embodiment, by providing a single or multiple enclosing parts 30, the high-power devices with a large amount of heat generation can be enclosed by the electrical device. The enclosing parts 30 can be individually filled with thermal conductive adhesive and the respective enclosing parts 30 are not connected to each other. While ensuring the heat dissipation of the high-power devices, the usage amount of the thermal conductive adhesive can be effectively controlled, the material cost can be reduced, the weight of the whole machine can be reduced, and the logistics cost can be reduced. At the same time, in the production process, the potting time can be reduced and the assembly cost can be saved.
[0031] In some embodiments, the structure of the enclosing part 30 is similar to the arrangement structure of the device group 21, so that when the device group 21 is installed in the receiving cavity of the corresponding enclosing part 30, the amount of the thermal conductive adhesive can be reduced, the overall weight of the electrical device can be effectively reduced, and the production and manufacturing cost can also be reduced.
[0032] In some embodiments, the housing 10 can be made of a metal material, and the metal material can include, but is not limited to, aluminum, aluminum alloy or stainless steel, and no specific limitation is made here.

The top plate 11 has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other. A first limiting plate 13 is provided on the first surface of the top plate 11. The first limiting plate 13 is annular. The first limiting plate 13 and the top plate 11 jointly define at least one of the enclosing parts 30. The enclosing part 30 can be, for example, Figure 3 the first enclosing part 31 shown. The first enclosing part 31 can be used to accommodate the first device group 211 (as Figure 4 shown).

The structure of the third enclosing portion 33 is generally a rectangular columnar structure, and the structure of the fourth enclosing portion 34 is generally an L-shaped columnar structure. Among them, the third enclosing portion 33 can accommodate the third device group 213 (as shown in Figure 4 ), and the fourth enclosing portion 34 can accommodate the fourth device group 214 (as shown in Figure 4 ).
[0038] Specifically, the side plate 12 can include a first side plate 121, a second side plate 122, a third side plate 123, and a fourth side plate 124 that are sequentially connected end to end. The overall structure of the boss 14 can be generally cubic. One side of the boss 14 can be connected to the second side plate 122.

The first side surface 142 is disposed opposite to the first side plate 121, and the second side surface 143 is disposed opposite to the third side plate 123.
[0039] Among them, a third limiting plate 15 connects the first side plate 121 and the first side surface 142. The third limiting plate 15 is in the shape of a straight plate. The third limiting plate 15, the top plate 11, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122, and the first side surface 142 together define the third enclosed portion 33. The structure of the third enclosed portion 33 is generally a rectangular columnar structure, which can accommodate the third device group 213. The power devices of the third device group 213 can include, but are not limited to, safety capacitors, common mode inductors, varistors, etc.
[0040] Among them, another third limiting plate 15 connects the third side plate 123 and the second side surface 143. The third limiting plate 15 is in the shape of a Z-shaped plate. The third limiting plate 15, the top plate 11, the second side plate 122, the third side plate 123, and the second side surface 143 together define the fourth enclosed portion 34. The structure of the fourth enclosed portion 34 is generally an L-shaped columnar structure, and the fourth enclosed portion 34 can accommodate the fourth device group 214.

The heat sinks 16 can be provided on the outer side surface of the side plate 12 and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the side plate 12, which can improve the heat dissipation effect. The heat sinks 16 can be made of a metal material, and the metal material includes, but is not limited to, aluminum, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel. Of course, the heat sinks 16 can also be defined as heat dissipation plates.
[0043] The electrical device is assembled as follows: Before the power board 20 is installed on the housing 10, an appropriate amount of thermal conductive glue is pre-poured into the accommodation cavities of the respective enclosed portions 30 of the housing 10. Before the thermal conductive glue solidifies, the power board 20 is installed on the housing 10. The thermal conductive glue will wrap the power devices of the device group 21. While meeting the heat dissipation of the high-loss power devices, the usage amount of the thermal conductive glue can be effectively controlled, saving material costs, reducing the weight of the whole machine, and reducing logistics costs. At the same time, the reduction of the glue filling amount of the thermal conductive glue can save the assembly time of production and reduce the assembly cost.
