[0037] At present, the fan 10 installed in the power distribution device has only one speed gear when it is running: that is, after the fan 10 is started, it runs at this speed. Since there is only one speed gear, considering the heat dissipation requirements of the power distribution device under extremely hot conditions, the speed value corresponding to this speed gear is relatively high. Correspondingly, the fan 10 makes a relatively loud noise when running at this speed gear. In this way, there are two problems: the uninterrupted operation of the fan 10 will cause the power distribution device to emit a loud noise at all times, especially at night when the temperature is low. There is no need for the power distribution device to dissipate heat, and it is easy to receive complaints from surrounding residents; and the fan 10 running at a higher speed can quickly discharge the hot air in the power distribution device and reduce the temperature of the power distribution device. When the temperature of the power distribution device is within its normal operating temperature range, the fan 10 continues to run, which will waste energy.

[0038] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a noise reduction centrifugal fan system for a power distribution device, the noise reduction centrifugal fan system comprising:

[0039] Temperature detection module 30, fan 10 and control module 20;

[0040] The control module 20 is connected to the temperature detection module 30 and the fan 10 respectively;

[0041] The temperature detection module 30 is used to detect the temperature of the power distribution device and output it to the control module 20;

[0042] The control module 20 is used to control the fan 10 to run at a speed value corresponding to the current temperature value of the power distribution device when the temperature of the power distribution device is greater than a preset temperature, so as to adapt to the heat dissipation requirements of the power distribution device at different temperatures and reduce the noise of the fan 10.

[0043] The temperature detection module 30 detects the temperature of the power distribution device. The power distribution device can be divided into indoor and outdoor power distribution devices. For indoor power distribution devices located within a power distribution station, the temperature detection module 30 can detect the temperature within the distribution station as the power distribution device temperature. Furthermore, the temperature of the switchgear and protective equipment within the power distribution device can be used as the power distribution device temperature. The temperature detection module can measure the power distribution device temperature using either a thermal resistor or a thermocouple.

[0044] A fan 10 is a device that converts mechanical energy into gas pressure and kinetic energy. It accelerates the gas and increases its pressure by rotating the impeller, thereby achieving functions such as gas transportation, ventilation, and cooling. Fans 10 can be categorized as centrifugal, axial, and mixed flow.

[0045] When the temperature of the power distribution device exceeds a preset temperature, the control module 20 controls the fan 10 to operate. The preset temperature is determined by R&D personnel; in one example, the preset temperature is 38°C. The control module 20 controls the fan 10 to operate, specifically at a speed corresponding to the temperature detected by the temperature detection module 30.

[0046] It's easy to understand that the preset temperature determines the operating temperature range of fan 10, and the speed of fan 10 directly affects the noise and vibration generated during operation. The difference between the temperature of the power distribution device and the preset temperature represents the heat dissipation requirement of the power distribution device. Therefore, the heat dissipation requirements of the power distribution device vary under different temperature conditions. It's easy to understand that the greater the difference between the temperature of the power distribution device and the preset temperature, the higher the heat dissipation requirement of the power distribution device.

[0047] In order to reduce the noise generated by the fan 10 while it is cooling the power distribution device, the fan 10 should be controlled to operate at a speed corresponding to the current power distribution device temperature. This allows the fan 10 to operate at a lower speed while meeting the heat dissipation requirements, thereby reducing the noise generated by the fan 10. It is easy to understand that the heat dissipation requirements of the power distribution device are positively correlated with the temperature of the power distribution device, and the temperature of the power distribution device is positively correlated with the speed of the fan 10.

[0048] The control module 20 may include a controller such as an MCU, an FPGA or an SOC.

[0049] The present invention proposes a noise-reducing centrifugal fan system for a power distribution device, comprising: a temperature detection module 30, a fan 10, and a control module 20; the control module 20 being connected to the temperature detection module 30 and the fan 10, respectively; the temperature detection module 30 being configured to detect the temperature of the power distribution device and output the detected temperature to the control module 20; and the control module 20 being configured to control the fan 10 to operate at a speed corresponding to the current power distribution device temperature when the power distribution device temperature is greater than a preset temperature, thereby adapting to the power distribution device's heat dissipation requirements at different temperatures and reducing the noise of the fan 10. The present invention detects the power distribution device temperature and, when the temperature is greater than a preset temperature, controls the fan 10 to operate at a speed corresponding to the temperature, thereby adapting to the power distribution device's heat dissipation requirements at different temperatures and reducing the noise of the fan 10.

[0050] Considering that the power distribution device continues to generate heat during operation, the heat generated is greater than or equal to the heat dissipated by the current power distribution device temperature corresponding to the speed of the fan 10. The temperature of the power distribution device will remain unchanged or increase. Based on the above problem, a second embodiment of the utility model is proposed. In this embodiment, the noise reduction centrifugal fan system for the power distribution device further includes:

[0051] Timing unit 40;

[0052] The timing unit 40 is connected to the control module 20;

[0053] The control module 20 is used to control the fan 10 to stop rotating when the temperature of the power distribution device is lower than a preset temperature value;

[0054] The control module 20 is further configured to control the fan 10 to operate at a first speed when the temperature of the power distribution device is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value, and to send a start timing signal to the timing unit 40 so that the timing unit 40 starts timing;

[0055] The timing unit 40 is used to reset the timing after the set timing period ends and output a timing stop signal to the control module 20;

[0056] The control module 20 is also used to control the fan 10 to increase the preset speed value based on the current speed and re-send the start timing signal to the timing unit 40 when the temperature of the distribution device is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value and a timing stop signal is received.

[0057] It should be noted that the control module 20 receives the power distribution device temperature output by the temperature detection module 30 and controls the fan 10 to stop when the power distribution device temperature is less than a preset temperature value. When the power distribution device temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value, the fan 10 is controlled to operate at a first speed setting; the speed setting of the first speed setting is determined by the R&D personnel. Simultaneously, the control module 20 sends a start timing signal to the timing unit 40, causing the timing unit 40 to start timing and record the time the fan 10 has been operating at the current speed.

[0058] It is easy to understand that if the heat dissipated by the fan 10 when running at the first speed is greater than the heat generated by the power distribution device, the temperature of the power distribution device will continue to drop. A timer is set. If the temperature of the power distribution device drops below the preset temperature value within the timer, the fan 10 can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the power distribution device when running at the first speed. The timer setting is determined by the R&D personnel. In one example, the timer setting is 15 minutes.

[0059] Correspondingly, if the temperature of the power distribution device is still greater than or equal to the preset temperature value after the set timing period ends, it means that the fan 10 cannot meet the heat dissipation requirements of the power distribution device at its current speed. Specifically, the control module 20 is configured to control the fan 10 to increase the preset speed based on the current speed when the temperature of the power distribution device is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value and receives the timing stop signal, and resend the timing start signal to the timing unit 40.

[0060] If the current speed cannot meet the heat dissipation requirement, the speed of the fan 10 is increased; the fan 10 is controlled to increase the preset speed value based on the current speed to increase the heat dissipation capacity of the fan 10. In addition, to determine whether the adjusted speed of the fan 10 can meet the heat dissipation requirement of the power distribution device, the control module 20 re-sends a timing signal to the timing unit 40 to re-determine the relationship between the temperature of the power distribution device and the preset temperature value after the new timing period, and thus re-adjust the speed of the fan 10 or control the fan 10 to stop.

[0061] The timing unit 40 may be a timer.

[0062] The noise reduction centrifugal fan system for a power distribution device further includes: a sound detection unit 50;

[0063] The sound detection unit 50 is connected to the control module 20 and is used to detect the loudness of the sound emitted by the fan 10 during operation and output it to the control module 20;

[0064] The control module 20 is configured to control the fan 10 to reduce a preset speed value based on the current speed when the loudness of the fan 10 sound exceeds a preset loudness until the loudness of the fan 10 sound is less than the preset loudness.

[0065] To prevent the fan 10 from generating excessive noise during operation, which could lead to complaints from surrounding residents, the sound detection unit 50 detects the loudness of the fan 10 during operation. Specifically, it obtains the amplitude of the noise waveform generated by the fan 10 during operation. If the loudness of the fan 10 sound exceeds a preset loudness, the control module 20 reduces the speed of the fan 10. Specifically, it controls the fan 10 to reduce the preset speed value based on the current speed until the loudness of the fan 10 sound is less than the preset loudness. The preset loudness is determined by R&D personnel.

[0066] The sound detection unit 50 may include a microphone.

[0067] In the prior art, the fan 10 is installed at the door of the power distribution station. In order to reduce the noise transmitted by the fan 10 to the surrounding residents and improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the fan 10 is installed on the side of the power distribution device close to the main electrical equipment.

[0068] The fan 10 includes an air duct, which is filled with sound-absorbing cotton. The air duct's primary function is to guide the airflow generated by the fan 10 in a specific direction. This ensures that the airflow is effectively delivered to the desired location, improving the operating efficiency of the fan 10. The air duct can be circular, rectangular, or spiral.

[0069] Sound-absorbing cotton effectively absorbs the noise energy generated by airflow within the duct. As sound propagates through the duct, the cotton's porous structure and fibrous material cause the sound waves to continuously reflect, refract, and rub against each other, converting the sound energy into heat and reducing noise. Furthermore, when the fan 10 is operating, the high-speed flow of air within the duct generates aerodynamic noise. The sound-absorbing cotton reduces airflow turbulence and eddies, lowering friction between the air and the duct wall, thereby reducing the generation of aerodynamic noise.

[0070] Folding plate silencer louvers are installed at the air inlet and outlet of the fan 10. The interior of the folding plate silencer louvers is usually filled with sound-absorbing materials, such as glass fiber, rock wool, etc. These sound-absorbing materials can effectively absorb the noise generated at the air inlet and outlet of the fan 10, reducing the propagation and diffusion of the noise. The structural design of the folding plate can cause the noise to be reflected and scattered when passing through the louvers, changing the propagation direction of the noise, thereby reducing the noise energy directly transmitted to the surrounding environment. In addition, when the fan 10 is running, the high-speed flow of air at the air inlet and outlet will generate aerodynamic noise. The folding plate silencer louvers can reduce the turbulence and vortex of the air flow by adjusting the speed and direction of the air flow, thereby reducing the generation of aerodynamic noise.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the fan 10 includes a cabinet body, which is made of galvanized steel plate and has corrosion resistance.

[0072] The present utility model also proposes a power distribution device, which includes the noise reduction centrifugal fan system for the power distribution device. The specific structure of the noise reduction centrifugal fan system for the power distribution device refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the power distribution device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
