DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] 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.

[0033] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a full-power wind power converter cabinet disclosed in an embodiment of the present utility model is first introduced in detail, including a cabinet, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the cabinet integrates multiple power cabinets and one grid-connected control cabinet. The grid-connected control cabinet is located in the middle of the cabinet, integrating the grid-connected cabinet and the control cabinet. The power cabinets are located on both sides of the cabinet and consist of multiple symmetrical power cabinets.

[0034] The power cabinet is internally connected to the grid-side inductor module, capacitor pool module, power module and its drive circuit, CP module, power module control board 209, and grid-side lightning protection component 214; the details are as follows:

[0035] The grid-side inductor module is arranged at the bottom of the power cabinet, including a grid-side inductor 201 and a heat exchange device arranged on the top of the grid-side inductor. The grid-side inductor 201 is arranged inside the power cabinet through a grid-side inductor connecting conductor 206, and a main fuse 210 is arranged on the grid-side inductor connecting conductor 206; the grid-side lightning protection component 214 is arranged on one side of the grid-side inductor module;

[0036] Furthermore, the independent heat exchange device provided on the top of the grid-side inductor includes a grid-side inductor heat exchanger 202 and a grid-side inductor fan assembly 203 , which is used to absorb air through the centrifugal fan and dissipate heat through convection through the grid-side inductor heat exchanger 202 .

[0037] The capacitor pool module is arranged in the middle side of the power cabinet, and includes a capacitor pool 215, a capacitor pool air cavity 216, and a heat exchange device arranged at the bottom of the capacitor pool;

[0038] Furthermore, the independent heat exchange device at the bottom of the capacitor pool includes a capacitor pool heat exchanger 211 and a capacitor pool fan assembly 212. The power cabinet capacitor pools 215 on both sides are placed back to back to form a ventilation cavity in the middle, namely the capacitor pool wind cavity 216. Ventilation holes are provided at the bottom of the capacitor pool 215 mounting bracket. Cooling air can be evenly inhaled from the gaps between each capacitor, and then pass through the capacitor pool wind cavity 216 and the capacitor pool heat exchanger 211 for heat dissipation, thereby reducing the operating temperature of the capacitor and improving its service life.

[0039] The power modules are arranged on both sides of the capacitor pool 215, including a machine-side power module and a grid-side power module;

[0040] The CP module and the power module control board are arranged on the upper side of the power cabinet. The CP module includes a CP module 218 and a CP resistor 208.

The details are as follows:

[0042] The generator-side circuit breaker module is arranged on the upper right side of the grid-connected control cabinet 6, including the generator-side circuit breaker 601 and the outgoing terminal; the grid-side circuit breaker module is arranged on the lower left side of the grid-connected control cabinet 6, including the grid-side circuit breaker 615 and the outgoing terminal;

[0043] Furthermore, the machine-side circuit breakers 601 and grid-side circuit breakers 615, along with their electrical connection conductors, are designed as modular components, allowing for complete assembly and disassembly. Mounting rails 619 are located on both sides of the cabinet to facilitate operation. The installation positions of the machine-side circuit breakers 601 and grid-side circuit breakers 615 can be flexibly adjusted to suit top-mounted and bottom-mounted models, enabling rapid switching of the main circuit interfaces between the two models using the same cabinet. For bottom-mounted models, the machine-side circuit breakers 601 and grid-side circuit breakers 615 are installed at the bottom of the grid-connected control cabinet. This position adjustment effectively reduces the length of the outgoing conductors, lowering material costs.

[0044] Furthermore, the independent heat dissipation devices provided for the machine-side circuit breaker 601 and the grid-side circuit breaker 615 each include a circuit breaker fan assembly 612 and a circuit breaker heat exchanger 611 .

[0045] The machine-side inductor module is arranged on the right middle side of the grid-connected control cabinet 6, and includes a machine-side inductor 604 and a heat exchange device arranged on the top of the machine-side inductor 604;

[0046] Furthermore, the independent heat exchange device provided on the top of the machine-side inductor 604 includes a machine-side inductor fan assembly 603 and a machine-side inductor heat exchanger 602 .

[0047] The AC filter capacitor module is arranged at the lower right side of the grid-connected control cabinet 6, and includes a first AC filter capacitor component 613, a second AC filter capacitor component 614 and a symmetrically arranged AC filter capacitor fuse component 606;

[0048] Furthermore, the AC filter capacitor module is provided with an independent heat dissipation device, which can reduce the operating temperature of the capacitor and increase the service life.

[0049] The RC absorption component 618 is arranged on the upper left side of the grid-connected control cabinet 6 and includes an RC absorption circuit; the generator-side lightning protection component 617 is arranged at the lower end of the RC absorption component 618.

[0050] The main controller component 605 and UPS 616 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the machine-side inductor module. The main controller component 605 includes a main control circuit;

[0051] Furthermore, the grid-side power module is electrically connected to the grid-side inductor 201 , and the generator-side power module is electrically connected to the generator-side inductor 604 . The grid-side circuit breaker 615 and the generator-side circuit breaker 601 are electrically connected via electrical connection conductors.

[0052] Furthermore, the grid-connected control cabinet is also provided with a communication and control interface 608 and a user power supply component 607. The communication and control interface 608 is arranged at the lower right side of the grid-connected control cabinet, and the user power supply component 607 is arranged above the communication and control interface 608, and AC filter capacitor fuse components 606 are arranged on both sides.

[0053] Furthermore, the full-power converter cabinet adopts liquid cooling to dissipate heat, and the power module dissipates heat by passing cooling liquid through the water-cooling plate.

[0054] Furthermore, the power module and capacitor pool module in the power cabinet are directly assembled into a module assembly. The power devices and capacitors are connected through a low-inductance busbar. Hierarchical connection ports are set on both sides of the busbar. After being assembled into the cabinet, low-inductance overlapping is achieved to form a capacitor pool, which effectively reduces the size of the stacked busbar, reduces the difficulty of production, and reduces the cost. At the same time, the module assembly is more convenient to install and maintain.

[0055] Furthermore, a cooling pipe assembly 205 passing through the cabinet is provided in the middle of the converter cabinet. The cooling pipes are respectively passed through by two groups of water inlet pipes and two groups of water outlet pipes in parallel, and are converged outside the cabinet to form a single group of water pipe interfaces. The power modules and inductor and capacitor pool heat exchangers on both sides of the cabinet are connected through nearby pipes, which reduces the length of the hose and can effectively reduce costs.

[0056] Furthermore, the water inlet and outlet pipes share a secondary pipeline system. The primary, or main, pipeline is a hard pipe, directly connected to the hard pipe assembly 204 inside the cabinet. Two inlet and outlet water ports are provided outside the cabinet. Inside the power cabinet, the inlet and outlet pipes each branch into two branches, extending to the other end of the cabinet. The secondary pipeline is a flexible hose 213, which connects components such as the power module water cooling plate, inductor, capacitor pool, and circuit breaker to the hard pipe via a heat exchanger.
