It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0025] In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0027] The IGBT7 is stacked on the front of the radiator 4, and the driving circuit board 8 is stacked on the back of the radiator 4; the AC socket 5 and the DC socket 6 are embedded in the front of the box 1; the control unit is connected to the top surface inside the shell; the capacitor 11 is connected to the bottom of the box 1, and an insulating foam 12 is provided between the capacitor 11 and the driving circuit board 8.
[0028] The emitter, collector, and gate of IGBT 7 are electrically connected to driver circuit board 8, laminated busbar 15, and current sensor 9. Current sensor 9 is electrically connected to AC outlet 5, and its output is connected to a control unit. Laminated busbar 15 is electrically connected to capacitor 11. DC outlet 6 is electrically connected to laminated busbar 15.
[0029] The inverter module structure of this utility model utilizes the IGBT 7 on the front of the heat sink 4 and the driver circuit board 8 on the back. Wind flows over the bottom of the heat sink 4, fully utilizing the surface of the heat sink 4 and increasing the heat dissipation area. The heat generated by the IGBT 7 and the driver circuit board 8 is transferred through the different surfaces of the heat sink 4, exchanging heat with the wind flowing through the heat sink 4 and dissipating the heat in the wind. This reduces the temperature of the IGBT 7 and the driver circuit board 8, protecting them from burning.
[0030] Furthermore, the heat sink 4 includes an upper plate 41, a plurality of fins 43, and a lower plate 42. The upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42 are arranged parallel to each other, and the plurality of fins 43 are connected between the upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42.

[0031] Furthermore, the plurality of fins 43 are arranged obliquely and connected end to end to form a wave-shaped structure. Adjacent fins 43 form a stable and secure triangular structure with the upper plate 41 or lower plate 42. Preferably, the wave-shaped fins 43 can be formed by stamping or bending. They are then connected to the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42 to form the heat sink 4, improving manufacturing efficiency.
[0032] Furthermore, the longitudinal direction of the gaps between the adjacent fins 43 is consistent with the direction of the wind blown out by the fan 3 .
[0033] Furthermore, the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are plugged with a bracket 2, and the fan 3 is mounted on the bracket 2. Preferably, the bracket 2 is plug-connected to the housing 1.

[0034] Furthermore, a chute 10 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, into which the edge of the heat sink 4 is inserted. The slidable connection between the heat sink 4 and the chute 10 facilitates assembly. During use, the electronic components to be dissipated are pre-assembled on the heat sink 4, then electrically connected to the DC jack 6 and AC jack 5 on the housing 1. Finally, the heat sink 4 and the electronic components are inserted into the chute 10, saving assembly time and improving efficiency.
