Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of frequency converter manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a frequency converter heat dissipation structure for use in textile production environments. Background Technology
[0002] A frequency converter is a power electronic device used to change and control the frequency and voltage of a motor during operation. It can also reduce voltage fluctuations in the circuit, minimize the impact of the power grid on equipment, and improve the effective power of the grid. In industrial production, it allows for more convenient control of motor speed, torque, and power, enabling variable-speed operation of the motor and reducing equipment power consumption.
[0003] In textile production environments, frequency converters control the rotation speed of shafts in equipment such as winding machines and sizing machines to complete tasks like yarn weaving, sizing, and winding. However, frequency converters tend to generate high temperatures during operation. To maintain better efficiency, ventilation holes and cooling fans are installed on the frequency converters to circulate air and lower the operating temperature. However, textile equipment environments typically contain a significant amount of dust, which can easily enter the frequency converter through airflow. This dust can then seep into the internal gaps of the frequency converter and approach electronic components, affecting their operation and potentially causing short circuits and posing a fire hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a heat dissipation structure for frequency converters in textile production environments to prevent airborne dust from coming into contact with the electronic components in the frequency converter.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A frequency converter heat dissipation structure for use in textile production environments, including
[0007] The cover has an opening at one end and a filling hole on its side wall.
[0008] The internal device is placed inside a housing and includes circuit components, a fixing plate, a sealing plate, and fins. The circuit components are fixed on the fixing plate, and a gap is left between the fixing plate and the sealing plate. The fins are fixed on the sealing plate. The sealing plate, the fixing plate, and the side wall of the housing surround and form a sealed space, and the sealed space communicates with the outside through an adhesive filling hole.
[0009] The bottom shell prevents the internal components from falling out of the cover and is fixedly connected to the edge of the cover opening;
[0010] The side wall of the cover has an air vent, through which external air can come into contact with the fins.
[0011] Furthermore, a heat-conducting structure is provided between the fixing plate and the sealing plate, and the two ends of the heat-conducting structure are respectively attached to or fixed to the fixing plate and the sealing plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the heat-conducting structure is placed in the middle of the sealed space, and an annular sealing loop is left between the heat-conducting structure and the side wall of the cover, and the glue filling hole is connected to the sealing loop.
[0013] Furthermore, an adhesive outlet hole is provided on the side wall of the cover, and the sealing ring is connected to the adhesive outlet hole.
[0014] Furthermore, the filling hole and the discharging hole are located on the same side wall of the cover, and the filling hole and the discharging hole are located on both sides of the heat-conducting structure.
[0015] Furthermore, the heat-conducting structure includes a flow-guiding surface, and the flow-guiding surface and the axis of the filling hole are provided at an angle.
[0016] Furthermore, the heat-conducting structure is a heat sink.
[0017] Furthermore, the thermally conductive structure is a thermally conductive ring, which can be filled with thermally conductive silicone grease.
[0018] Furthermore, the side wall of the cover is provided with a boss along the circumference, and the edge of the fixing plate can abut against the boss.
[0019] Furthermore, a top plate extends vertically upward from the edge of the bottom shell, the top of which is pressed against the edge of the sealing plate. A vent is provided on the top plate, and the vent corresponds to the air vent.
[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the inverter heat dissipation structure for textile production environments described in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0021] This utility model employs a sealed space between the circuit device and the fin, corresponding to the glue filling hole, so that the sealant can be filled into the sealed space during the production process, making the space where the circuit device and the fin are located disconnected from each other. This prevents dust in the air from entering the space where the circuit device is located during the heat dissipation process of the fin contacting the outside air, thereby preventing dust from contacting the electronic device.
[0022] A heat-conducting structure is installed between the fixed plate and the sealing plate, which allows the heat on the fixed plate to be transferred to the fins more quickly, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the frequency converter.
[0023] The combination of a dispensing hole and a filling hole allows the filled adhesive to be discharged from the dispensing hole after filling the sealing loop, making it easier for operators to determine whether the space inside the frequency converter is filled.
[0024] By setting a flow guide surface on the heat-conducting structure, the filled adhesive enters from one side of the sealing ring, avoiding the formation of an air chamber caused by the simultaneous filling of adhesive on both sides of the sealing ring and the inability of air to be completely discharged inside the sealing ring.
[0025] The sealing plate is held in place by a top plate, which ensures a tight fit between the fixing plate and the boss, preventing the sealant from entering the space where the electronic components are located and causing damage to the electronic components. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0038] Example 1
[0039] The present invention relates to a frequency converter heat dissipation structure for use in textile production environments, comprising a housing consisting of a cover 1 and a bottom shell 2, and an internal device 3 placed inside the housing. One end of the cover 1 is open, and the bottom shell 2 prevents the internal device 3 from detaching from the cover 1 and is fixedly connected to the edge of the opening of the cover 1. The internal device 3 includes a circuit device 31, a fixing plate 32, a sealing plate 33, and fins 34. The circuit device 31 is fixed on the fixing plate 32. A gap is left between the fixing plate 32 and the sealing plate 33, and a sealed space 4 is formed by the fixing plate 32, the sealing plate 33, and the side wall of the housing 1. During installation, the circuit device 31 and the fixing plate 32 can be placed inside the housing 1, with the circuit device 31 at the closed end of the housing 1, so that the fixing plate 32 faces the opening. Then, sealant is filled onto the fixing plate 32 to seal the gap between the fixing plate 32 and the side wall of the housing 1. Then, the sealing plate 33 is placed so that it is in contact with the sealant surface. Then, the bottom shell 2 is used to seal the opening of the housing 1. Alternatively, a filling hole 13 communicating with the sealed space 4 can be opened on the housing 1, so that the sealed space 4 communicates with the outside through the filling hole 13. First, the sealing plate 33 is placed inside the housing 1, and connected to the housing 1 via the bottom shell 2 to prevent the internal components 3 from detaching from the bottom shell 2. Sealant is then filled into the sealed space 4 through the filling hole 13, separating the space where the fins 34 are located from the space where the circuit components 31 are located. This avoids gaps at the separation point, preventing airborne dust from entering the space where the circuit components 31 are located during the heat dissipation process of the fins 34 through the outside air, thus preventing damage to the electronic components. Specifically, the bottom shell 2 and the housing 1 can be connected by snap-fit or by adhesive.
[0040] The side wall of the housing 1 has an air vent 12. After the inverter is installed, the fins 34 are opposite to the air vent 12, so that external air can come into contact with the fins 34 through the air vent 12 and carry away the heat on the fins 34 during the air flow.
[0041] Example 2,
[0042] To ensure the structural stability of the sealed space 4 during installation, the inverter heat dissipation structure for textile production environments described in this invention includes a heat-conducting structure 35 between the fixed plate 32 and the sealing plate 33. Both ends of the heat-conducting structure 35 are respectively attached to or fixed to the fixed plate 32 and the sealing plate 33. In this embodiment, the heat-conducting structure 35 is a heat sink, and the heat sink, fixed plate 32, and sealing plate 33 can be integrally formed; alternatively, the heat sink and fixed plate 32 can be integrally formed, and then the heat sink rests against the sealing plate 33 during installation; or the heat sink and sealing plate 33 can be integrally formed, and then the heat sink rests against the fixed plate 32 during installation, facilitating heat transfer through the heat sink.
[0043] The heat-conducting structure 35 is placed in the middle of the sealed space 4, and an annular sealed loop 5 is formed between the heat-conducting structure 35 and the side wall of the cover 1. The filling hole 13 is connected to the sealed loop 5. The heat-conducting structure 35 is provided with a flow guiding surface 351, which corresponds to the filling hole 13. The plane of the flow guiding surface 351 forms an angle with the axis of the filling hole 13. During installation, the sealed loop 5 is set vertically so that the filling hole 13 faces upward. This allows the sealant filled from the filling hole 13 to flow along the flow guiding surface 351 to the side of the heat-conducting structure 35 until the sealant flows to the bottom of the sealed loop 5. Then, the sealant accumulates from the bottom upward, thereby gradually expelling the air in the sealed loop 5 and preventing the formation of air chambers at the edge of the sealed loop 5, which would affect the sealing effect. The cover 1 has a glue outlet hole 14 on its side wall, and the sealing ring 5 is connected to the glue outlet hole 14. The glue outlet hole 14 and the glue filling hole 13 are respectively located on both sides of the heat-conducting structure 35. When the sealing ring 5 is filled with sealant, the sealant can overflow outward through the glue outlet hole 14, so that the operator can judge the amount of glue filling and the filling effect.
[0044] The side wall of the casing 1 is provided with a boss 11 along its circumference. The edge of the fixing plate 32 can abut against the boss 11. The edge of the bottom shell 2 extends vertically upward to form a top plate 21. The top of the top plate 21 abuts tightly against the edge of the sealing plate 33. The boss 11 and the top plate 21 pre-position the fixing plate 32 and the sealing plate 33. The top plate 21 has a vent 22, which corresponds to the air flow port 12, so that external air can contact the fins 34 for heat exchange.
[0045] Example 3
[0046] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the heat-conducting structure 35 is a heat-conducting ring 35b. The heat-conducting ring 35b can be integrally formed with the fixing plate 32 or with the sealing plate 33. The fixing plate 32 and the sealing plate 33 can exchange heat by filling the heat-conducting ring 35b with thermal grease.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
