Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of circuit equipment, in particular to an online soft starter. Background Art

[0002] A soft starter (also known as a soft starter) is a novel motor control device that integrates soft starting, soft stopping, light-load energy saving, and various protection functions. It is primarily composed of a three-phase phase-parallel thyristor connected in series between the power supply and the controlled motor, along with its electronic control circuit. The soft starter controls the conduction angle of its internal thyristor (SCR) to gradually increase the motor input voltage from zero according to a preset function until the start is complete and full voltage is applied to the motor. This is known as soft starting. During the soft starting process, the motor's starting torque and speed gradually increase. Existing soft starters include a housing with input and output pins. Within the housing are a heat sink assembly, a circuit board, and a current sensing transformer, SCR, and transformer electrically connected to the circuit board. The input and output pins are both connected to the SCR.

[0003] For example, the applicant applied for a built-in bypass soft starter on December 27, 2019. Although the position distribution of parts has been changed and thyristors are sandwiched between the upper and lower heat sinks to facilitate heat dissipation, three sets of heat dissipation components need to be accommodated in the shell. Different safety isolation spaces (about 15mm) are required between the heat dissipation components according to the power specifications of the soft starter. Therefore, high-power soft starters have the problem of being too large, and soft starters of different specifications also have the problem of not being able to use the same shell. At the same time, the existing soft starters use energy storage heat sinks, and frequent starting will cause overheating failures. At the same time, the existing conductive sheet needs to be punched at one end and connected to the heat dissipation component with bolts, and the other end needs to be connected to the input pin and output pin. Therefore, the conductive sheet needs to be bent multiple times. The following problems were found during production and use: First, the conductive sheet is easy to break due to bending, which affects its service life; second, there are processing problems with the bending angle, which is easy to produce errors and deviate from the first connection hole of the shell. Manual adjustment and reprocessing are required, and the processing efficiency is low; third, the conductive sheets connecting the input pins and output pins are of different shapes and cannot be used interchangeably, further increasing production costs; fourth, bending reduces the conductive current and power consumption is high; at the same time, according to different customer needs, the input pins and output pins have different situations such as top in and bottom out or bottom in and top out. The existing online soft starter can only choose specific types. Different needs make the soft starter not universal and have low applicability. The cost of manufacturers producing soft starters of multiple different specifications and types is also greatly increased. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an online soft starter.

[0005] In response to the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided: an online soft starter, comprising a shell and a panel, the shell comprising three groups of heat dissipation components, a circuit board and a thyristor, the heat dissipation component comprising heat dissipation members clamped on both sides of the thyristor, the side of the heat dissipation member corresponding to the panel being the front side, the front side of the heat dissipation member being provided with a mounting slot, the mounting slot being open at least at one end, a fastening component for connecting a conductive sheet being slidingly provided in the mounting slot, the conductive sheet comprising a first connecting section connected to the fastening component and a second connecting section extending out of the shell, the first connecting section being provided with a first connecting hole, the second connecting section being provided with a second connecting hole, the shell comprising a body and a wiring side panel, the wiring side panel being detachably connected to the body, and the wiring side panel being provided with a jack for the second connecting section to extend out.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the existing conductive sheets that need to be bent and holes need to be punched on the side walls of the heat sink and then fixed with fasteners, the heat sink of the utility model is integrally formed, and no additional punching processing is required. The fastening component is slidably set in the installation slide groove. It is only necessary to align the first connecting hole with the fastening component and then operate the fastening component to achieve disassembly and assembly, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency. At the same time, compared with the existing conductive sheets that need to be connected to the upper heat sink and the lower heat sink respectively, the conductive sheets have inconsistent shapes and need to be bent. The technical solution of the utility model adopts left and right clamping of the heat sink, and the conductive sheets are all set above the installation slide groove and set at the same height, without bending, which greatly reduces the work caused by bending. Consumption, at the same time, the conductive sheet and the pin are integrally formed, with high stability, high strength and long service life, and the conductive sheet does not need to be bent, is integrally formed, has high production efficiency, high precision, and is convenient and quick to assemble; at the same time, the conductive sheet is arranged above the heat sink, and there is no need to connect from the bottom and then bend it, which reserves enough assembly space for the fan and greatly improves the heat dissipation function; at the same time, the wiring side plate is detachably connected to the body. Since the heat dissipation component in the body is modular, the conductive sheet connecting the input pins and the output pins has the same shape, so the entire body can be rotated 180 degrees, and then the upper wiring side plate and the lower wiring side plate can be disassembled and replaced to realize the switching of top-in and bottom-out or bottom-in and top-out, which greatly improves the applicability of the soft starter.

[0007] The utility model is further configured as follows: the mounting groove is in an inverted T-shape, the fastening assembly includes a bolt, the bolt includes a nut inverted in the mounting groove and a screw adapted to the first connecting hole, the screw passes through the first connecting hole and is threadedly connected to a nut arranged outside the heat sink.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, since each group of heat dissipation components has at least one input pin and one output pin, and the input pin and the output pin are respectively connected to the heat dissipation elements on both sides, the center line of the second connecting section is aligned with the center line of the interval between the heat dissipation elements in the same group (that is, the middle of the interval between the heat dissipation elements on the left and right sides), and the conductive sheet is arranged in a Z-shape, then the second connecting sections on both sides are arranged in the middle of the heat dissipation component, and the height positions of the jacks of the wiring side panels on both sides are aligned, then the wiring side panels and the conductive sheets on the upper and lower sides can be used interchangeably, further improving processing efficiency and facilitating assembly.

[0013] The present invention is further provided with: a sleeve for protecting the second connecting section is provided in the socket, the sleeve includes a main body, the main body is provided with a through hole adapted to the second connecting section, the outer side of the main body corresponding to the wiring side plate is provided with a protective protrusion for preventing water vapor and dust from entering, the protective protrusion is larger than the size of the socket, the outer side of the main body corresponding to the wiring side plate is provided with a gripping portion, the gripping portion is stepped and arranged between the protective protrusion and the outer wall of the wiring side plate, the inner side of the main body corresponding to the wiring side plate is provided with a clamping portion, and the wiring side plate is clamped between the clamping portion and the gripping portion.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the existing jacks which are mostly set up in a flat surface, water vapor and dust can easily enter the shell through the through hole, causing a short circuit in the conductive circuit. A protective protrusion is provided to prevent water vapor and dust from entering the shell, thereby improving the safety of the soft starter. At the same time, the ferrule adopts a snap-on connection, which is convenient and quick to install.

[0015] The utility model is further configured as follows: the heat dissipation components are divided into three groups, the number of the jacks on the wiring side panel is three, and the three jacks are arranged at the same height.

The accessories remain unchanged, and only the installation position needs to be changed, so that the soft starter can quickly meet different needs, greatly improving the applicability of the soft starter.

[0019] The utility model is further provided with: an insulating plate is provided between the heat dissipation components, and an insulating plate is provided between the machine body and the heat dissipation components.

At the same time, the insulating plate is convenient to fix due to the small spacing, and no additional positioning mechanism is required to fix the insulating plate, which is easy to install. At the same time, soft starters of different powers can achieve safe insulation by simply replacing insulating plates of different thicknesses (about 2-3mm, not to limit the size of the spacing, but just to more intuitively reflect the difference from existing soft starters of the same specifications), which makes the soft starter have a wider range of uses, is conducive to standardized batch production of shells, greatly reduces production costs, and has a fixed spacing; at the same time, due to the reduction in the spacing space, the heat sink can be made larger, greatly improving the heat dissipation function, and can be started frequently without overheating, with higher safety.
