Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of charging equipment, in particular to an inverter heat dissipation shell and an inverter. Background Art

[0002] In the past, inverter heat dissipation designs primarily focused on two sealing methods for the heat sink and chassis. The first approach involved attaching waterproof adhesive strips to the corresponding slots on the heat sink, then placing the chassis on top and securing it with screws. This combination of chassis, heat sink, waterproof adhesive strips, and screws had drawbacks. The second approach employed an inverted chassis, heat sink, waterproof adhesive strips, and screws. While this approach simplified the design somewhat, it also presented challenges.

[0003] Both solutions require adding slots for waterproof strips and material for screws to the radiator, further complicating the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the slots for the waterproof strips often require post-processing, increasing production costs. In the second solution, in particular, since the radiator fins are extruded as a single piece, the unnecessary fins below must be milled out, further increasing process complexity and cost. Therefore, a simpler, more economical, and efficient solution for sealing the radiator and chassis is urgently needed to improve the overall performance and reliability of the inverter.

[0035] The utility model proposes an inverter heat dissipation shell 100, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inverter heat dissipation shell 100 includes a base shell 10 and a heat sink 20. The base shell 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11. The heat sink 20 includes a bottom plate 21 and blades 22. The blades 22 are provided on one side of the bottom plate 21. The bottom plate 21 has a sliding groove 211 cut inward along the edge around it to form a heat dissipation portion 212 in the middle of the bottom plate 21. The sliding groove 211 and the heat dissipation portion 212 are provided on the other side of the bottom plate 21. The bottom plate 21 is abutted against the four sides of the mounting groove 11 through the sliding groove 211 to realize the positioning of the heat sink 20, which is convenient for assembly during the production process. The heat dissipation portion 212 is provided in the mounting groove 11, and the structures of the two are adapted, that is, the area of ​​the heat dissipation portion 212 is the same or similar to the area of ​​the mounting groove 11. The connection between the heat dissipation portion 212 in the sliding groove 211 and the side wall of the mounting groove 11 is further welded to connect the base shell 10 and the heat sink 20 to each other. Preferably, the welding method adopts laser welding.

[0036] By welding the connection between the heat dissipation portion 212 within the groove 211 and the sidewall of the mounting slot 11, the heat sink 20 is connected and sealed to the housing 10. The welded connection is stronger than conventional screw fastening. Blades 22 are located on one side of the base plate 21, facing the base plate 21 for ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0040] Preferably, two first bevel portions 1111 are provided, respectively adapted to the first bevel angle 2121 and the second bevel angle 2122 , further increasing the welding area of ​​the side of the mounting groove 11 . After laser welding, the connection strength between the base shell 10 and the heat sink 20 is tighter.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference Figure 6There are multiple blades 22, and the multiple blades 22 are arranged side by side and spaced apart to form multiple heat dissipation gaps 221, which are conducive to air flow and heat dissipation of the inverter.

[0042] Based on the aforementioned embodiment, the heat dissipation portion 212 is further provided with a supporting protrusion 222, which is arranged in at least one heat dissipation gap 221 to support the blade 22, so that the structure of the heat sink 20 is more stable.
