Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses an inverter, in particular to an inverter internal clamping structure and an inverter adopting the structure, belonging to the technical field of small electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] An inverter is an electronic device whose primary function is to convert direct current (DC) power into alternating current (AC) power. The input to an inverter is typically a DC power source, such as from a battery, solar photovoltaic panel, car battery, or DC power supply. The output is AC power, typically at a standard household grid voltage (such as 110V or 220V) and a frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz. Inverters use electronic switching elements (such as transistors or field-effect transistors) to periodically change the polarity and amplitude of the DC input voltage to generate an AC output voltage similar to a sine wave. The control circuit monitors the input DC voltage and adjusts the operating frequency and duty cycle of the switching elements as needed to ensure that the output AC voltage and frequency meet the requirements.

[0003] Inverters are generally classified by type: single-phase inverters, three-phase inverters, series inverters, standalone inverters, and central inverters. Inverters are widely used in solar power systems, electric vehicles, UPS systems, household appliances, and drive various types of motors, controllers, and industrial equipment. In short, inverters play a vital role in modern power systems and electronic equipment, enabling DC power to be compatible with widely used AC devices and playing a key role in energy conversion and transmission.

[0004] The inverter in the prior art usually includes a casing, an internal circuit and a cable connector. The cable connector is usually fixedly installed on the casing. Common installation methods usually include threaded connection. Even if an external thread is directly set on the cable connector, the cable connector is screwed on the casing. Alternatively, the cable connector can be fixed to the casing by screws, or fixed to the casing by glue, ultrasonic welding, etc., or the cable connector can be directly set together with the casing. The structures in the prior art are either complex in structure and the installation process is relatively cumbersome, or a fixed structure is adopted. Once damaged, it is inconvenient to repair and maintain. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The clamping claw and the clamping claw connecting arm are integrally arranged.

[0013] The cable connector is inserted into the inverter housing and is provided with a guide slope at the end position.

[0014] A retaining ring is fixedly arranged on the cable connector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] This embodiment is a preferred implementation of the present utility model. Other embodiments whose principles and basic structures are the same or similar to those of this embodiment are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 8 The utility model mainly protects a clamping structure used inside an inverter, which mainly includes an inverter housing and a cable connector 4. The cable connector 4 is inserted into the inverter housing. A clamping claw 14 is fixedly provided inside the inverter housing. A clamping ring 10 is provided at a corresponding position on the cable connector 4, and the clamping claw 14 is clamped in the clamping ring 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, six claws 14 are provided, evenly distributed around the circumference of the mounting hole for the cable connector 4 within the inverter housing. The claws 14 are tilted toward the center of the mounting hole for the cable connector 4. The bottom of the claws 14 is fixedly connected to a claw connecting arm 15, which is fixedly connected to the interior of the inverter housing. This means that the claws 14 are fixedly connected to the interior of the inverter housing via the claw connecting arm 15. The claw connecting arm 15 extends the length of the claws 14, making them less susceptible to damage during the clamping process. In this embodiment, the claws 14 and the claw connecting arm 15 are integrally formed, but are artificially defined as two parts.

[0031] In this embodiment, a guide slope 11 is provided at the end of the cable connector 4, which is inserted into the inverter housing. During insertion, the guide slope 11 spreads the claws 14 and claw connecting arms 15, facilitating insertion. A snap ring 10, in the form of an annular groove, is positioned appropriately within the cable connector 4. Once the cable connector 4 is inserted, the claws 14 engage within the snap ring 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, a retaining ring 13 is fixedly mounted on the cable connector 4. When the cable connector 4 is inserted into the inverter housing, the retaining ring 13 blocks the cable connector 4 from the outside of the inverter housing to prevent over-insertion. The area between the retaining ring 13 and the clamping ring 10 defines an extension arm 12. The extension arm 12 opposes the claw connecting arm 15 and acts as an extension. The cable connector 4 is hollow inside to facilitate cable insertion.

[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 The present invention also protects an inverter that adopts the above-mentioned internal clamping structure of the inverter, which mainly includes an inverter housing and a cable connector 4. The cable connector 4 is inserted into the inverter housing. In this embodiment, the inverter housing includes an outer shell 1, an upper cover 2 and a bottom cover 3. The upper cover 2 and the bottom cover 3 are respectively fixedly mounted on both ends of the outer shell 1. The cable connector 4 is inserted into the upper cover 2. One end of the upper cover 2 is used to connect to a DC power supply. The bottom cover 3 is provided with a power socket for AC power output. In specific implementation, the cable connector 4 can also be installed on the outer shell 1 or the bottom cover 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the upper cover 2 is fixed to the housing 1 using upper cover mounting screws 8. The upper cover 2 is provided with cooling holes 5. A cooling fan 6 is fixedly mounted inside the upper cover 2 at positions corresponding to the cooling holes 5. This fan 6 blows heat from the inverter through the cooling holes 5, effectively dissipating heat. A fan hook 7 is fixedly mounted inside the upper cover 2. In this embodiment, two fan hooks 7 are provided, symmetrically arranged. These hooks securely mount the cooling fan 6 inside the upper cover 2 at positions corresponding to the cooling holes 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom cover 3 is fixedly mounted to the housing 1 by bottom cover mounting screws 9 .

[0036] The utility model realizes the installation of the cable connector by means of the clamping claws cooperating with the clamping ring structure, which on the one hand makes the installation structure simpler and the installation faster and more convenient; on the other hand, when it is damaged or fails, it can be easily disassembled for repair and maintenance.
