AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing inverter power cabinet's fans cannot achieve one in operation and one in standby, which means that the power cabinet must be shut down when the fan fails, affecting the normal operation of the equipment and potentially causing air short circuits that lead to poor heat dissipation.

Method used

The inverter power cabinet is designed with fan redundancy function. Fan #1 and fan #2 are used as backups for each other. The opening and closing status of the air outlet duct is controlled by the air duct anti-reverse mechanism to ensure that only the air outlet duct of the running fan is open and the air outlet duct of the standby fan is closed, so as to avoid air short circuit.

Benefits of technology

Redundant backup of the fan was achieved, ensuring continuous heat dissipation of the inverter power cabinet, avoiding short circuits, and ensuring uninterrupted operation of the equipment in the event of a fan failure.

When one fan fails and stops during the operation of the power cabinet, the operation of the power cabinet needs to be stopped, which affects the normal operation of the on-site equipment. If the two heat dissipation fans on the existing power cabinet are designed as one for use and one as a spare, the standby fan side is not sealed, the running fan can suck air in reverse, forming air short circuit, and the heat dissipation amount cannot meet the requirements, causing the equipment temperature to be too high.

[0016] The utility model will be further explained in connection with the drawings and embodiments.

[0017] As Figure 1 shown, the utility model discloses a frequency converter power cabinet with fan redundancy function's perspective view is given, the frequency converter power cabinet shown is by the cabinet 1 and sets up on the upper end of the cabinet 1 1# fan 2 and 2# fan 3 constitutes, the inside of the cabinet 1 is the cavity, and the inside cavity of the cabinet 1 is placed with the power unit that constitutes the frequency converter. The upper end of the cabinet 1 is provided with 1# fan 2 and 2# fan, and 1# fan 2 and 2# fan are mutual standby, that is, two fans are in working condition, and the other is in shutdown standby state. The air outlet of 1# fan 2 and 2# fan is provided with the air outlet pipeline 4, and the air outlet pipeline 4 is provided with the air duct check mechanism 5 for controlling its opening and closing state.

[0018] When 1# fan 2 or 2# fan is in working condition, the air duct check mechanism 5 on it makes the air outlet pipeline 4 be in the open state, and for the fan in shutdown standby state, the air duct check mechanism 5 on it makes the air outlet pipeline 4 be in the closed state, so that, mutual standby of two fans is realized, and the outside air can also be avoided to enter through the air outlet pipeline on the fan in shutdown standby, and " wind short circuit " phenomenon is formed.

[0019] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the front view, top view and perspective view of the air outlet pipeline in the utility model are given respectively, Figure 5 the sectional view of A-A section in Figure 2 is given, the air duct check mechanism 5 shown is composed of multiple louvers 6 arranged in the air outlet pipeline 4, the inner side of the louver 6 is the pipeline inner cavity 8 communicated with the air outlet of the fan (1# fan 2 or 2# fan 3), and the outer side of the louver 6 is the pipeline outer cavity 9 communicated with the outside. The both ends of the louver 6 are arranged on the side wall of the air outlet pipeline 4 through the rotating shaft 7, and the rotating shaft 7 can rotate.

[0020] The louver 6 shown is divided into the louver upper part 10 located above the rotating shaft 7 and the louver lower part 11 located below the rotating shaft 7, and the distance between the adjacent two rotating shafts 7 is less than the sum of the height of the louver lower part 11 and the height of the louver upper part 10, so as to buckle the adjacent two louvers 6 together. The height of the louver lower part 11 is greater than the height of the louver upper part 10, so the mass of the louver lower part 11 is greater than the mass of the louver upper part 10, so that the moment of the gravity center of the louver lower part 11 to the axis of the rotating shaft 7 is greater than the moment of the gravity center of the louver upper part 10 to the axis of the rotating shaft 7.

[0021] Thus, under the action of gravity of the louver 6, two adjacent louvers 6 are buckled together when the louver 6 is not subjected to external force (i.e. not subjected to the air outlet pushing of the fan), so that the air outlet pipeline 4 is in a closed state. When the louver 6 is subjected to the air outlet pushing of the open fan, the louver 6 is rotated and opened, and the air outlet pipeline 4 is in an open state, as shown in Figure 6 The state diagram of the air outlet pipeline air duct non-return mechanism when the fan is in a working state in the utility model is shown.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, the frequency converter power cabinet with fan redundancy function has one fan in working state and the other in standby state in 1# fan and 2# fan during working, the louver 6 in the air outlet pipeline 4 of the fan in working state is rotated and opened under the air outlet pushing, while the louver 6 in the air outlet pipeline 4 of the fan in standby state is in a closed state, at this time, the external air can only enter through the air inlet on the cabinet body 1 to realize the heat dissipation of the power unit in the cabinet body 1, and cannot enter from the air outlet pipeline 4 of the standby fan, thus avoiding the occurrence of the "air short circuit" phenomenon. When the fan in working state fails, the standby fan is started to ensure the uninterrupted working of the frequency converter power cabinet.
