[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] See Figure 1 The high-power water-cooled integrated power unit includes a rectifier-inverter integrated module, a capacitor module, and a capacitor stack busbar 3. The rectifier-inverter integrated module and the capacitor module are electrically connected through the capacitor stack busbar 3. The inverter-rectifier integrated module and the capacitor module are both box-type structures. The capacitor module and the rectifier-inverter integrated module are arranged side by side on the left and right.

[0026] See Figure 2 The components within the integrated rectifier-inverter module are all installed within the rectifier-inverter housing 1. The integrated rectifier-inverter module includes the rectifier-inverter housing 1, a water-cooling plate assembly 5, a driver board assembly 6, a composite busbar 7, a fuse 8, a transformer assembly 9, an IGBT module 14, a temperature-controlled switch 15, and a rectifier bridge 17. The water-cooling plate assembly 5 is fixed to the lower front end of the rectifier-inverter housing 1. The water-cooling plate assembly 5 is electrically connected to the fuse 8 via the composite busbar 7. The composite busbar 7 is connected to the output copper busbar 10 and the input copper busbar 11, which are in turn connected to the capacitor stack busbar 3. The driver board assembly 6 is fixed to the upper front end of the rectifier-inverter housing 1. The relevant driver boards within this driver board assembly 6 are electrically connected to the transformer assembly 9, the IGBT module 14, the temperature-controlled switch 15, and the fuse 8 via cables. The IGBT module 14, the temperature-controlled switch 15, and the rectifier bridge 17 are fixedly connected to the water-cooling plate assembly 5.

[0027] See Figure 3The water-cooling plate assembly 5 includes a water inlet 13, a water outlet 12, and a water-cooling plate 16. The water-cooling plate 16 is fixedly connected to the rectifier bridge 17, the IGBT module 14, the temperature control switch 15, and the resistor 18 via bolts. The resistor 18 is electrically connected to the composite busbar via cables. The upper and lower ends of the side of the water-cooling plate 16 are connected to the water outlet 12 and the water inlet 13, respectively.

[0028] When the high-power water-cooled integrated power unit is installed on the power cabinet, the water inlet 13 of the rectifier-inverter integrated module is connected in parallel through the water inlet pipe, and the water outlet 12 is connected in parallel through the water outlet pipe. The cooling water cools and dissipates heat for the inverter-rectifier integrated module, making it have better heat dissipation performance.

[0029] See Figure 4 The capacitor module includes a capacitor module box 2, a connecting column, and a capacitor. A connecting column is fixed at the middle of the front end of the capacitor module box 2 for connecting to the capacitor stack busbar 3; the capacitor is encapsulated in the capacitor module box 2, and the capacitor is electrically connected to the connecting column, and the capacitor is electrically connected to the capacitor stack busbar 3 via the connecting column.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, a handle 4 is fixedly attached to the front of the capacitor module housing 2. A handle 4 is also fixedly attached to the front of the rectifier / inverter housing 1. If a malfunction occurs in the integrated rectifier / inverter module or the capacitor module, the faulty module can be removed and maintained by simply removing the capacitor stack busbar 3 and then pulling out the handle 4. The bottoms of the rectifier / inverter housing 1 and capacitor module housing 2 can be connected to rails.

[0032] The present utility model adopts a split, modular, integrated design. This design form can increase or decrease the design power of the power unit by modifying the internal configuration of the integrated rectifier and inverter module and increasing or decreasing the number of capacitors in the capacitor module, so that the power unit has strong scalability and consistency. When any module in the power unit fails, the faulty module can be pulled out separately for maintenance after disassembling the capacitor stack busbar 3. Because the weight of a single module is much lighter than the weight of the entire power unit, the disassembly and maintenance of the power unit is convenient.

[0033] Through the above specific embodiments, those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Based on the disclosed embodiments, those skilled in the art can arbitrarily combine different technical features to achieve different technical solutions. Due to space limitations and to keep the specification concise, each solution formed by these combinations is not described one by one. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
