Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motor starting frequency converters, in particular to a motor frequency converter. Background Art

[0002] The existing crane control system used contactors to control the motor's start, stop, and operation. Due to the crane's frequent starts and stops during operation, the contactors were frequently on and off, causing severe wear and arcing damage to the contactor's mechanical components, leading to contactor failure. Furthermore, contactor control made it difficult to achieve smooth motor startup and precise speed regulation, and was prone to impacting the motor and mechanical transmission components, resulting in high maintenance costs. To address these issues, the decision was made to switch the crane's control system from contactor control to frequency converter control. Frequency converters precisely control the motor's speed by varying the motor's power supply frequency, thereby improving the equipment's operational performance. The frequency converter is an electric power control device that applies frequency conversion technology and microelectronics technology to control AC motors by changing the frequency of the motor's working power supply. Some frequency converters are equipped with a knob with an adjustment function. Since the knob is protruding from the outside of the frequency converter, it is often accidentally touched in daily life and the knob is rotated, causing the data on the frequency converter to change and affect the operation of the motor. Or, non-staff members such as children may rotate the knob for no reason and affect the operation of the motor, causing unnecessary problems or hidden dangers in the operation of the equipment, and thus the knob switch needs to be protected.

[0003] The Chinese patent CN202223391295.9 is entitled: A motor frequency converter that prevents accidental touching, comprising a frequency converter body and a protective plate, wherein the protective plate is located at the front of the frequency converter body, and the left and right sides of the back of the protective plate are fixedly connected with L-shaped card plates, and the front positions of the left and right sides of the frequency converter body are provided with slideways, and the outer surface of the L-shaped card plate is slidably connected to the inner surface of the slideway. The utility model can protect the front of the frequency converter body by setting the protective plate to prevent unauthorized personnel from touching the switch in an accidental manner, and can fix and limit the protective plate when it is protected by setting the L-shaped card plate, the slideway, the limit plate, the compression spring and the push plate, and can also limit the protective plate when it is opened, thereby facilitating the staff to operate the control button when the protective plate is opened. By setting the above structure, the utility model has the advantages of good anti-accidental touching protection effect on the motor frequency converter and convenient operation of the button by the staff.

[0004] However, when the device is in use, the protective plate is pushed backward to cause a misalignment between the L-shaped card plate and the limit plate, so that the protective plate falls to use the operation button. However, there is no limiting device for the protective plate, and the protective plate is easy to fall if it is accidentally touched. Secondly, when the protective plate falls, it will hit the bottom of the slide slot, thereby causing the inverter to vibrate, which is easy to cause damage to the inverter. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0027] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0029] In the related art, when in use, the protective plate is pushed backward to cause misalignment between the L-shaped card plate and the limit plate, so that the protective plate falls to use the operating button, but there is a lack of a limiting device for the protective plate, and the protective plate is easy to fall off in the event of accidental contact. Secondly, when the protective plate falls, it will hit the bottom of the slide slot, thereby causing the inverter to vibrate, which can easily cause damage to the inverter.

[0030] In order to solve the problems in the related art to a certain extent, an embodiment of the present application provides a motor inverter. When it needs to be used, the end cover A4 can be opened only when the knob is used. At this time, the end cover B6 and the components inside it are flipped down at the same time, which is convenient for operating the knob. When the cover is closed, the fastening component 5 can achieve a limiting effect, and the knob parameters will not change due to accidental touch.

[0031] The present application is described below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0032] Combine Figure 1-Figure 5The embodiment of the present application provides a motor inverter, including an inverter body 1; and also includes a fixing sleeve 2, two fixing sleeves 2 are provided, and the two fixing sleeves 2 are fixed by a connecting plate 3, and the fixing sleeves 2 are fixedly sleeved on the inverter body 1, and one of the fixing sleeves 2 is at the end position of the inverter body 1, and the end of the fixing sleeve 2 away from the inverter body 1 is hinged with an end cover A4, and the knob of the inverter body 1 is in the end cover A4, and the end cover A4 is locked with the fixing sleeve 2 by a fastening assembly 5, and the side of the end cover A4 away from the fixing sleeve 2 is hinged with an end cover B6, and the end cover B6 and the end cover A4 are also locked by a fastening assembly 5, and a switching assembly 7 is also installed in the end cover B6.
