Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of heat dissipation equipment, and in particular relates to a heat dissipation structure for a module plate of a variable frequency air source heat pump unit. Background Art

[0002] There are two traditional methods for cooling the module boards of variable frequency air source heat pump units: one is to use the main unit fan alone for heat dissipation and cooling. The heat dissipation effect is closely related to the fan speed. Especially in high-temperature heating conditions, due to the low fan speed, the module heat dissipation effect will be greatly reduced, affecting the main unit performance. The other is to use copper tubes and aluminum sheets alone for heat dissipation. To achieve a higher heat dissipation effect, the copper tubes are bent multiple times to increase the heat exchange area. This method relies on the main circuit to dissipate heat, and a portion of the cooling capacity is used for module heat dissipation, which increases the pressure loss of the main circuit of the system. Regardless of the operating conditions, the unit's cooling and heating performance will be significantly reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The utility model provides a heat dissipation structure for a module plate of a variable frequency air source heat pump unit, which solves the problems of the heat dissipation mode of the module plate in the prior art, such as the influence on system performance and high cost.

[0005] Preferably, the refrigerant circulation pipeline is a U-shaped structure and is inserted into the base. The length of the refrigerant circulation pipeline is 480 mm and the diameter is 15.88 mm.

[0006] Preferably, the heat dissipation fins are fixed on the base, and the spacing between the heat dissipation fins is 2 mm.

[0008] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the utility model are: it has both air-cooling structure and liquid-cooling structure, the radiator is small in size, simple to install and low in cost; the electric three-way valve proportionally controls the flow of refrigerant flowing into the radiator, which can keep the module at a constant temperature, work more stably, and avoid the main refrigerant being used entirely for module cooling, resulting in performance loss.

[0013] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a heat dissipation structure for a module plate of a variable frequency air source heat pump unit, the variable frequency air source heat pump unit having an outdoor fan 4, including a radiator 1, a three-way valve 2, the three-way valve 2 being an electric three-way valve, the radiator 1 being connected to one side of a module plate 3, the radiator 1 including a base 11, heat dissipation fins 12, and a refrigerant circulation pipeline 13, the inlet of the refrigerant circulation pipeline 13 being connected to a first port 21 of the three-way valve 2, the outlet of the refrigerant circulation pipeline 13 being connected to a second port 22 of the three-way valve 2, the third port 23 of the three-way valve 2 being connected to the indoor side heat exchanger of the variable frequency air source heat pump unit, and the second port 22 of the three-way valve 2 being connected to the outdoor side heat exchanger 5 of the variable frequency air source heat pump unit.

[0015] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the refrigerant circulation pipeline 13 is a U-shaped structure, inserted into the base 11, and the length of the refrigerant circulation pipeline 13 is 480 mm and the diameter is 15.88 mm.

[0016] Preferably, the heat dissipation fins 12 are fixed on the base 11 , and the heat dissipation fins 11 have a length of 84 mm, a width of 51 mm, and a spacing of 2 mm.

[0017] Preferably, the base 11 has screw holes 14 for mounting the module plate 3 .

[0018] During the heating cycle, the host monitors the IPM temperature in module board 3 in real time, sets the IPM temperature T (set to 80 degrees) as the target temperature SHt, and controls the refrigerant flow entering the radiator (equal to the main flow minus the radiator inlet flow) through the three-way valve 2 on the refrigerant main line to lower the temperature of module board 3. This control can adopt PI control, adjusting the opening of three-way valve 2 according to the difference between the target temperature SHt1 and the actual temperature T of module board 3 to ensure that the temperature of module board 3 is always below the target value. When the ambient temperature drops, if the temperature of module board 3 is always lower than the target temperature SHt2 (set to 60 degrees), the three-way valve 2 is closed, cutting off the radiator inlet flow, and only using the outdoor fan 4 for heat dissipation. During the cooling cycle, the refrigerant flows in the reverse direction, and the three-way valve 2 is controlled in the reverse direction. Whether in heating control or cooling control, the outdoor fan 4 is always in the open state.

[0019] The three-channel refrigerant flow path significantly improves heat dissipation. While dissipating heat in the same volume, the module temperature can be reduced by 20-30°C, enabling miniaturization and low cost. Furthermore, fins are added to the back of the module to dissipate heat through the fan's own airflow. When the external temperature is low, the refrigerant flow path can be closed to achieve cooling.

[0020] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
