Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan frame structure, and in particular to a fan frame structure for an energy storage converter. Background Technology
[0002] In some power electronic devices, the energy storage converter is the core of the entire device, and the heat dissipation system is also crucial. However, the design of an air-cooled system can lead to after-sales maintenance issues for the fan. Therefore, a good installation method is particularly important. This design layout can meet both wall-mounted and rack-mounted installations, satisfying the installation needs of different customers.
[0003] Most existing energy storage converter fan bracket structures are air-cooled, with the fan being the most important component. Fan maintenance is a challenge; without proper fan maintenance, product reliability is reduced, and long-term use can severely impact normal operation. If disassembly is not simple and quick, without professional personnel and tools, damage to other structures can easily occur during disassembly, potentially leading to overall module failure. Furthermore, the combination of these air-cooled fan bracket structures is relatively limited, and changes in the installation environment may necessitate the purchase of fan brackets with different combinations, making them inflexible in use.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a fan bracket structure for an energy storage converter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a fan bracket structure for an energy storage converter. This device increases the combination of fan brackets, thereby achieving a compatible wall-mounted and rack-mounted mode. In terms of structural design, it is convenient for customers to switch on-site, and it has excellent maintenance effects over time, thus improving the reliability of the product.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fan bracket structure for an energy storage converter, comprising a module, a first countersunk screw, a second countersunk screw, a pan head combination screw, and a small bracket. An outer bracket is slidably disposed through the front side of the module. Multiple inner fans are disposed on the outer bracket. A fan bracket panel is fixedly disposed on one side of the outer bracket. A fan bracket handle is provided on one side of the fan bracket panel. A fan cover plate is disposed at the front end of the module near the outer bracket.
[0007] Furthermore, a No. 1 threaded groove is provided at each of the four corners of the fan frame panel and the module near the fan frame panel. The fan frame panel and the module are installed by the No. 1 threaded groove and the No. 1 countersunk screw.
[0008] Furthermore, the fan cover and the module front end are provided with No. 2 threaded grooves at the four corners near the fan cover. The fan cover and the module are installed together by No. 2 threaded grooves and No. 2 countersunk screws.
[0009] Furthermore, in rack-mount installation, the module has six No. 3 threaded slots on both the front of the outer bracket and the front of the small bracket. The module and the small bracket are installed using the No. 3 threaded slots and six pan head combination screws.
[0010] Furthermore, a sliding space is provided at the front of the module, and the internal dimensions of the sliding space are the same as the overall dimensions of the outer bracket, allowing the outer bracket to slide inside the module.
[0011] Furthermore, the fan cover is provided with a number of holes, the side of the module closest to the fan cover is the air inlet, and the side of the module furthest from the fan cover is the air outlet.
[0012] Furthermore, the interface terminals of the modules are all uniformly distributed at one end of the fan cover.
[0013] Furthermore, all of the aforementioned internal fans can be freely placed on the external bracket or small bracket.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model proposes a fan bracket structure for an energy storage converter. The device has two combination methods: wall-mounted installation and rack-mounted installation. Wall-mounted installation can effectively utilize wall space and is suitable for environments with limited space, especially in small power stations or home energy storage systems. For certain maintenance operations, wall-mounted installation is usually more convenient, as it does not require moving heavy equipment. Rack-mounted installation can provide more stable support for the converter and is suitable for larger or heavier equipment. It reduces the risk of damage caused by vibration or other factors, provides better air circulation, helps heat dissipation, improves the service life and reliability of the equipment, and the installation is usually easy to expand. More equipment or accessories can be added later as needed, which can greatly improve flexibility.
[0016] 2. The energy storage converter fan bracket structure proposed in this utility model allows for easy maintenance of the internal fan in wall-mounted installations. In wall-mounted installations, the four countersunk screws on the fan bracket panel are loosened with a screwdriver. The user then uses their hand to pry open the groove of the fan bracket handle on the panel and applies slight force to pull out the outer bracket. In rack-mounted installations, the four screws on the fan cover are loosened with a screwdriver, the fan cover is removed, and the six pan head combination screws on the small fan bracket are loosened. The small bracket is then pulled out by hand, allowing for fan maintenance. This completes the assembly of the entire fan. The process is simple, requires no professional personnel or tools, and allows for on-site switching by the customer at any time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 8The present invention provides an embodiment of a fan bracket structure for an energy storage converter, comprising a module 1, a first countersunk screw 2, a second countersunk screw 7, a pan head combination screw 9, and a small bracket 10. An outer bracket 5 is slidably disposed through the front side of the module 1. Multiple inner fans 6 are disposed on the outer bracket 5. A fan bracket panel 3 is fixedly disposed on one side of the outer bracket 5. A fan bracket handle 4 is provided on one side of the fan bracket panel 3. A fan cover plate 8 is disposed at the front end of the module 1 near the outer bracket 5.
[0029] Specifically, module 1 is the entire energy storage converter equipment. Each internal fan 6 is an independent power unit. Each internal fan 6 operates independently without interfering with each other. If a single internal fan 6 fails, only that internal fan 6 needs to be repaired and replaced. The fan bracket handle 4 is slotted, allowing the user to pry out the outer bracket 5 by hand.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fan bracket panel 3 and module 1 are provided with threaded grooves at the four corners of the fan bracket panel 3. The fan bracket panel 3 and module 1 are installed by threaded grooves and countersunk screws 2.
[0031] Specifically, the No. 1 countersunk screw 2 can be turned into the No. 1 threaded groove to fix the fan bracket panel 3 to the module 1, making it easy to fix and disassemble.
[0032] Reference Figure 5 The fan cover plate 8 and the module 1 are provided with No. 2 threaded grooves at the four corners of the front end near the fan cover plate 8. The fan cover plate 8 and the module 1 are installed together by the No. 2 threaded grooves and the No. 2 countersunk screws 7.
[0033] Specifically, the No. 2 countersunk screw 7 can be turned into the No. 2 threaded groove to fix the fan cover 8 to the module 1, which facilitates fixing and disassembly. It can also restrict the movement of the small bracket 10 and the inner fan 6.
[0034] Reference Figure 6 In rack mounting, six No. 3 threaded slots are provided inside module 1 in front of the outer bracket 5 and in front of the small bracket 10. Module 1 and small bracket 10 are installed by the No. 3 threaded slots and six pan head combination screws 9.
[0035] Specifically, the small bracket 10 serves as the load-bearing structure for the inner fan 6. It can be installed by screwing the pan head combination screw 9 into the six No. 3 threaded slots of the module 1. The installation is simple and easy to disassemble and maintain.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The module 1 has a sliding space at the front. The internal dimensions of the sliding space are the same as the overall dimensions of the outer bracket 5. The outer bracket 5 can slide inside the module 1.
[0037] Specifically, the outer bracket 5 serves as the load-bearing structure for the inner fan 6. After the inner fan 6 is placed, it can be inserted into the sliding space. At this time, the first threaded groove on the fan bracket panel 3 coincides with the first threaded groove of the module 1.
[0038] Reference Figure 8 The fan cover 8 has many holes. The side of module 1 closest to the fan cover 8 is the air inlet, and the side of module 1 furthest from the fan cover 8 is the air outlet.
[0039] Specifically, the fan cover 8 can play a good role in preventing dust and reducing the impact of external dust on the internal fan 6. It can also be quickly disassembled, replaced and cleaned, providing a good working environment for the operation of the internal fan 6.
[0040] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The interface ends of module 1 are all uniformly distributed at one end of the fan cover plate 8.
[0041] Specifically, this area is designed to accommodate electronic components, which generate heat during operation. Since this is an air inlet, the design here is intended to improve heat dissipation.
[0042] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 Multiple internal fans 6 can be freely placed on the external bracket 5 or the small bracket 10.
[0043] Specifically, the multiple internal fans 6 are easy to disassemble and can be stably installed inside module 1 in both combination methods.
[0044] Working principle: First, place module 1 on the workbench. In wall-mounted installation, use a screwdriver to unscrew the four No. 1 countersunk screws 2 on the fan bracket panel 3, and then use your hand to pry open the groove of the fan bracket handle 4 on the fan bracket panel 3. Apply slight force to pull out the outer bracket 5, and then you can perform maintenance on the inner fan 6. In rack-mounted installation, use a screwdriver to unscrew the four No. 2 countersunk screws 7 on the fan cover plate 8, remove the fan cover plate 8, and then unscrew the six pan head combination screws 9 on the small fan bracket. Use your hand to pry out the small bracket 10, and then you can perform maintenance on the fan, thus completing the assembly of the entire fan.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
