Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular to an energy storage converter. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage converters mainly consist of components such as gold-film capacitor boards, power boards, and inductors. Because energy storage converters generate significant heat internally, water-cooled heat sinks are required for heat dissipation. Existing energy storage converters typically have their internal components laid flat, with inductors located on the outside. This results in a less compact overall structure, larger size, and lower power density. Due to the flat component layout, larger water-cooled heat sinks are needed to achieve better heat dissipation, leading to higher costs and further increasing the size of the energy storage converter.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an energy storage converter that is compact in structure, small in size, has high power density, and good heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an energy storage converter with a compact structure, small size, high power density, and good heat dissipation, thereby solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0015] Power distribution devices are components used to control, protect, and distribute electrical energy. They can be circuit breakers, disconnect switches, contactors, relays, fuses, etc., and can ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient transmission of electrical energy.

[0016] This utility model discloses an energy storage converter. An external DC power supply is connected to a power distribution device, which is electrically connected to a gold-film capacitor board via cables or busbars. The gold-film capacitor board is electrically connected to a power board, which is electrically connected to an inverter inductor via busbars. The inverter inductor is connected to a relay board via busbars.

A first horizontal partition is positioned above the gold-film capacitors, upon which an electrolytic capacitor is mounted. A second horizontal partition is positioned above the detection board, upon which a relay board is mounted. This effectively utilizes the space above the gold-film capacitors and detection board, further saving internal space and resulting in a very compact structure.

The power distribution components are located on the front left side of the base plate, which facilitates the connection between the power distribution components and external cables. Similarly, the placement of the water-cooled plate, power distribution components, power board, gold film capacitor board, inverter inductor, relay board, electrolytic capacitor board and detection board all facilitate the connection between components and are rationally laid out.

[0019] As can be seen from the above, the energy storage converter of this utility model has the advantages of compact structure, small size, high power density, good heat dissipation effect and convenient wiring. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The power distribution device 15 is a component used for controlling, protecting, and distributing electrical energy. It can be a circuit breaker, disconnector, contactor, relay, fuse, etc., and can ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient transmission of electrical energy. Specifically, each component can be fixed by a structure of screws and threaded holes.

[0028] The water-cooled plate 12 can dissipate heat through water or other coolants. The coolant enters from the inlet 13, flows through the water-cooled plate 12 to absorb the heat from the power board 16 and the inverter inductor 18, and finally flows out from the outlet 14.

[0029] In this energy storage converter, an external DC power supply is connected to a power distribution device 15. The power distribution device 15 is electrically connected to a gold film capacitor board 17 via cables or busbars. The gold film capacitor board 17 is electrically connected to a power board 16. The power board 16 is electrically connected to an inverter inductor 18 via busbars. The inverter inductor 18 is connected to a relay board 19 via busbars. The electrolytic capacitor board 20 mainly stores energy and provides a large capacity of charge, while also having multiple functions such as filtering, decoupling, energy storage, and coupling. The detection board 21 is mainly used to detect parameters such as current, voltage, and communication status of other components.

[0030] External DC power enters the gold film capacitor board 17 through the power distribution device 15, and the gold film capacitor board 17 provides the instantaneous large current required for DC commutation; then it flows from the gold film capacitor board 17 into the power board 16, and the power board 16 performs AC-DC power conversion; finally, it flows from the power board 16 into the inverter inductor 18 and the relay board 19, and the inverter inductor 18 and the relay board 19 realize LCL filtering output.

[0031] The energy storage converter of this utility model has a water-cooled plate 12 installed inside the housing 10. The power board 16, which generates significant heat, and the inverter inductor 18 are attached adjacent to each other on the water-cooled plate 12. This installation method provides good heat dissipation, a compact structure, and saves space. The gold film capacitor board 17 is attached to the power board 16 in a stacked arrangement, which significantly saves space within the housing 10 compared to the flat arrangement in existing technologies. Furthermore, since the gold film capacitor board 17 is electrically connected to the power board 16, placing them together is scientifically sound and facilitates their electrical connection. A first horizontal partition 22 is installed above the gold film capacitor board 17, and an electrolytic capacitor board 20 is installed on the first horizontal partition 22. A second horizontal partition 23 is installed above the detection board 21, and a relay board 19 is installed on the second horizontal partition 23.

The power distribution device 15 is located at the front left of the base plate 11, facilitating connection between it and external cables. Similarly, the placement of the water-cooled plate 12, power distribution device 15, power plate 16, gold film capacitor plate 17, inverter inductor 18, relay plate 19, electrolytic capacitor plate 20, and detection plate 21 all contribute to the connection between components and a rational layout.

[0033] Better, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage converter is also equipped with a communication board 26, and a third horizontal partition 27 is provided above the power distribution device 15. The energy storage converter is also equipped with a third support device 28 that supports the third horizontal partition 27, and the communication board 26 is provided on the third horizontal partition 27.

[0034] The energy storage converter of this invention has a communication board 26 installed inside the housing 10. The main function of the communication board 26 is to transmit signals between devices and realize effective information exchange. Compared with the prior art that places the communication board 26 outside the housing 10, the energy storage converter of this invention places the communication board 26 above the power distribution device 15, making good use of the space above the power distribution device 15. The structure is very compact and reasonable, and information exchange function is added on the basis of the original size.

[0035] Better, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first support device 24 is an "L"-shaped first support column 29 fixedly connected to one end of the first horizontal partition 22, the second support device 25 is an "L"-shaped second support column 30 fixedly connected to one end of the second horizontal partition 23, and the third support device 28 is an "L"-shaped third support column 31 fixedly connected to one end of the third horizontal partition 27.

The DC filter board 34 has filtering, protection, and charging / discharging functions, which can prevent voltage fluctuations from damaging the components. External DC power first passes through the DC filter board 34 before being connected to the power distribution device 15, which can better protect the components inside the enclosure 10. Installing the DC filter board 34 in front of the power distribution device 15 facilitates wiring and has a reasonable structure.

[0040] Better, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a baffle fan 36 is installed on one side of the water-cooled radiator 35. The water-cooled radiator 35 and the baffle fan 36 work together to increase the air circulation speed inside the casing 10, further improving heat dissipation efficiency and resulting in good heat dissipation effect.

[0041] Better, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an aerosol fire extinguisher 37 is installed between the detection plate 21 and the inverter inductor 18. The aerosol fire extinguisher 37 has a high-temperature extinguishing function. It can automatically extinguish fires when open flames appear, preventing further spread of the fire and effectively protecting the lives and property of personnel. The aerosol fire extinguisher 37 is positioned between the detection plate 21 and the inverter inductor 18, effectively utilizing the installation gap between them, resulting in a very compact structure.
