[0040] 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.

[0041] The present invention provides a cover structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention includes a cover body 100, which is fixedly connected to the shell 300 of the power control device and is used to cover the shell 300 to protect the exposed electrical components on the shell 300. The cover body 100 is provided with a functional interface avoidance position 101, and a functional interface cover 200 is covered on the functional interface avoidance position 101; by opening the functional interface cover 200, the functional interface in the functional interface cover can be connected and disassembled. When the functional interface does not need to be operated, the functional interface cover 200 can be closed. The functional interface cover 200 protects the functional interface.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cover body 100 and the functional interface cover 200 are both formed by plastic molds. The functional interface cover 200 is wedged into the curved surface style of the cover body 100 and adopts a curved rotating opening design.

[0043] Among them, the functional interface avoidance position 101 covers at least two adjacent side surfaces of the face cover body 100, so that when the functional interface is connected and disassembled, there are at least two operating surfaces, which makes the operation more convenient and the operating space larger; in this embodiment, the functional interface avoidance position 101 covers the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 103 of the face cover body 100, which makes the operation convenient and the structure of the functional interface cover 200 is simpler.

[0044] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the functional interface cover 200 includes a first end and a second end connected to the face cover body 100, the first end is connected to the first side 102 of the face cover body 100 through a first snap-fit ​​structure, and the second end face is connected to the second side 103 of the face cover body 100 through a second snap-fit ​​structure.

[0045] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the first clamping structure includes a clamping post 105 provided on the face cover body 100, and a clamping post groove 201 provided on the functional interface cover 200 and adapted to the clamping post 105; wherein, the clamping post 105 is a cylindrical clamping post, of which two are respectively provided, and the clamping post groove 201 is also a cylindrical clamping post groove, of which two are respectively provided, and the two clamping post grooves 2011 and the clamping post groove 2012 are respectively adapted and connected with the two clamping posts 105, and the clamping post 105 is clamped into the clamping post groove 201, thereby realizing the connection between the first end of the functional interface cover 200 and the face cover body 100. After the connection, the functional interface cover 200 can be rotated and flipped with the clamping post 105 as the rotating axis.

[0046] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping column groove 2011 and the second clamping groove 2012 extend from both sides of the first end of the functional interface cover 200 to the middle thereof, respectively, and the groove sides of the first clamping column groove 2011 and the second clamping column groove 2012 are provided with notches, wherein the first clamping column groove 2011 and the second clamping column groove 2012 are respectively made of elastic materials. During installation, the clamping column 105 can be directly clamped into the clamping column groove 201 from the notch, wherein the elastic force of the clamping column groove 201 can be adjusted according to the length L of the notch. The larger the length L of the notch, the greater the elastic force of the clamping column groove 201, and the easier it is for the clamping column 105 to be clamped into the clamping column groove 201. In this embodiment, the length L is set to just be able to clamp the clamping column body 105.

[0047] In addition, in this embodiment, the functional interface cover is a mesh port cover, and open cylindrical grooves with notches (card column grooves) are provided on both sides of the mesh port cover. By utilizing its elastic setting characteristics, the card column of the cover body is installed therein to provide a rotation axis for the mesh port cover.

[0048] like Figure 3-6As shown, the second clamping structure includes a clamping convex point 202 provided on the functional interface cover 200, and a clamping slot point 106 provided on the cover body 100 and adapted to the clamping convex point 202, wherein the clamping convex point 202 and the clamping slot point 106 can be set to one or more, and the specific position of their setting is not limited, as long as the second end of the functional interface cover 200 can be clamped and fixed to the second side surface 103 of the cover body 100; in this embodiment, one clamping convex point 202 and one clamping slot point 106 are respectively provided, and the two are adapted to each other, wherein adaptation refers to the adaptation of the structures and positions of the two, wherein the clamping convex point 202 can be set to a circular clamping point, and the clamping slot point 106 is set to an adapted circular clamping slot, specifically as shown Figure 6 As shown, the locking protrusion 202 and the locking groove point 106 adopt a round dot structure, which can ensure smooth guiding and locking in all directions, thereby facilitating the user's disassembly and assembly operations.

[0049] like Figure 2 and 5 As shown, a limiting groove 203 is provided in the first clamping column groove 2011 and / or the second clamping groove 2012, and a limiting column 104 adapted to the limiting groove 203 is provided on the clamping column 105. In this way, when the functional interface cover 200 is opened, the limiting column 104 can be clamped into the limiting groove 203, thereby limiting the opening angle of the functional interface cover 200. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the functional interface cover 200 includes an integrally formed first cover plate and a second cover plate, the first cover plate and the second cover plate are connected at an angle, and are respectively adapted to cover the two adjacent side surfaces of the face cover body 100. In this embodiment, the first cover plate and the second cover plate are at an angle of 90 degrees, and the first cover plate and the second cover plate are integrally formed; and a baffle 205 for operating the functional interface cover is provided on the first cover plate, wherein the baffle 205 is equivalent to a handle, and the functional interface cover 200 can be opened or closed by toggling the baffle 205, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0051] In another embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the first cover plate is also provided with an operation mark 206 for indicating the function interface cover 200, for example, the operation mark 206 indicates the direction of opening or closing the operation, and the first cover plate is also provided with a function interface mark 204 of the function interface cover 200, for example, if there is a network port inside the function interface cover, then the function interface mark 204 is the network port mark.

[0052] In the face cover structure of this embodiment, during assembly, the first end of the functional interface cover 200 is first placed into the functional interface avoidance position 101, and then the first clamping column groove 2011 and the second clamping groove 2012 are used to clamp the clamping column 105 from the notch set therein, and then the functional interface cover 200 is covered on the functional interface avoidance position 101, and the second end of the functional interface cover 200 is clamped on the face cover body 100 through the clamping protrusion 202 and the clamping groove point 106. When it needs to be opened, it is only necessary to push the blocking piece 205 so that the clamping protrusion 202 is disengaged from the clamping groove point 106, and the functional interface cover 200 is flipped with the clamping column 105 as the rotating axis. After reaching the set flipping angle, it is clamped into the limiting column 104 through the limiting groove 203 for limit fixing, and then the disassembly and wiring operations can be carried out. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0053] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a frequency converter, such as Figure 7-11 As shown, the inverter includes a shell 300, a control module 600, an expansion module 500 and the cover structure described in any of the above embodiments; in this embodiment, the inverter also includes other structures, and the other structures of the inverter can be known according to the existing technology and will not be described here.

[0054] The control module 600 is disposed in the shell 300, and the expansion module 500 is connected to the control module 600 and extends out of the shell 300. The expansion module 500 can be partially located inside the shell 300 and partially located outside the shell 300, or can be entirely located outside the shell 300.

[0055] The cover structure covers the expansion module 500 and is tightly connected to the shell (300) after covering; the cover structure protects the expansion module 500. In this way, when the expansion module 500 is needed, the cover structure can be disassembled and the expansion module 500 can be installed. When the expansion module 500 is not needed, the cover structure can also be disassembled and then the expansion module 500. In this way, the expansion module 500 can be installed according to the application scenario, which is more flexible.

[0056] The expansion module 500 is provided with a light guide column 501, wherein the light guide column 501 displays various indication functions of EtherCAT communication, and the number of light guide columns corresponds to the various indication functions displayed for EtherCAT communication, and generally one light guide column corresponds to the indication function displayed for EtherCAT communication; the inner side surface of the face cover body 100 is provided with a light guide slot 207 adapted to the light guide column 501, and the light guide column 501 passes through the light guide slot 207 from the inner side surface of the face cover body 100 and is fixed to the face cover body 100. After fixation, the light guide column 501 can be seen from the outer side surface of the face cover body 100, and the groove side surface of the light guide slot 207 is set to an inclined surface 209, wherein the inclined surface 209 may include a plurality of continuous inclined surfaces, such as Figure 11 As shown, the inclined surface 209 can be an inclined surface 209 composed of two consecutive inclined surfaces. In other embodiments, it can also be set to 1, or 3, or more than 3. When 2, or 3, or more than 3 are set, the connection between the inclined surfaces is set to a smooth guiding structure with a large inclination angle. In this way, a sufficiently large guiding effect can be provided for the rotational assembly of the face cover, ensuring that the light guide column on the extension module and the opening of the face cover can be accurately assembled into place.

[0057] In one embodiment, the expansion module 500 is provided with at least two light guides 501, and the inner side surface of the cover body 100 is provided with at least two corresponding light guide slots 207. A first separating rib 502 is provided between adjacent light guides 501, and a second separating rib 208 is provided between adjacent light guide slots 207. The first separating rib 502 and the second separating rib 208 are positioned correspondingly and simultaneously separate the adjacent light guides 501 to prevent crosstalk between adjacent light guides. By directly providing the light guides 501 on the expansion module 500, the light guides 501 serve as a component of the expansion module 500, eliminating the cost of configuring the light guides on the cover body.

[0058] In another embodiment, a fastener 400 for connecting the shell 300 and the cover structure is further included. A first fastening hole is provided in the functional interface avoidance position 101, and a second fastening hole is provided on the shell. The fastener 400 is screwed into the first fastening hole and the second fastening hole to tightly connect the cover structure to the shell 300. The fastener 400 is configured as a self-tapping screw and is hidden in the functional interface avoidance position 101. While achieving the fixing effect on the cover structure, it makes the product appearance more beautiful.
