[0026] Specifically, the heating element 14 can be any combination of one or more of the following: capacitor, inductor, switch, and busbar. The arrangement of the capacitor, inductor, switch, and busbar can be set as needed.

[0027] The heat dissipation structure is provided with a siphon type radiator 18 vertically penetrating the heat dissipation cavity 11 and the power cavity 12 in the box 10 of the power equipment, and specifically, the heating element 14 of the power equipment can be arranged in the upper part of the power cavity 12 according to the requirement. The condenser 20 is arranged in the heat dissipation cavity 11, and the evaporator 21 is arranged in the upper part of the power cavity 12. The siphon type radiator 18 is a siphon type radiator 18 of the prior art, which is usually provided with refrigerant therein. When working, the evaporator 21 absorbs the stray heat generated by the heating element 14 in the upper part of the power cavity 12, the refrigerant in the evaporator 21 is vaporized and rises to the condenser 20 after absorbing heat, the hot refrigerant is liquefied and flows back into the evaporator 21 after being cooled by the condenser 20, and the cold refrigerant absorbs heat in the evaporator 21 again, so that the heating element 14 is continuously cooled. The heat dissipation process of the condenser 20 is as follows: the first fan 17 at the top is started, and under the suction of the first fan 17, the cold air outside enters the heat dissipation cavity 11 from the air inlet 15, becomes hot air by absorbing the heat of the condenser 20 when passing through the condenser 20, and is discharged through the air outlet 16, thereby realizing the heat dissipation of the condenser 20 (the specific air circulation direction is shown by the dotted arrow direction of Figure 1 and Figure 3 .

The main radiator 28 and the condenser 20 share the heat dissipation cavity 11, and the structure is compact.

[0036] The air inlet 15 is located below the main radiator 28, which can ensure that all the air entering the heat dissipation cavity 11 from the air inlet 15 flows through the main radiator 28 for heat exchange before flowing out from the air outlet 16.

The first vertical condensing unit 31 connected with the evaporator 21 ensures that the hot refrigerant in the evaporator 21 enters the first vertical condensing unit 31 smoothly and well. The oblique condensing unit 32 is arranged in parallel below the left side heat sink 29, that is, the air in the air duct of the condenser 20 flows through the oblique condensing unit 32 and then through the left side heat sink 29 before flowing out from the air outlet 16. The condenser 20 includes a first vertical condensing unit 31 connected with the evaporator 21 and an oblique condensing unit 32 connected with the first vertical condensing unit 31, which can increase the heat dissipation area of the condenser 20 in the limited space of the heat dissipation cavity 11, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser 20.

One of the heating elements 14 is provided with the second fan 33 away from one end of the evaporator 21, and after the second fan 33 is started, due to the suction of the second fan 33, the hot air of the heating element 14 located on the other side of the evaporator 21 is sucked to the evaporator 21, and after being cooled by the evaporator 21, the cold air is flowed into the heating element 14 on one side of the evaporator 21. The cold air absorbs the heat of the heating element 14 and is reflected back to the evaporator 21 through the inner wall of the box body 10 to dissipate heat. The use of the second fan 33 accelerates the air circulation in the upper part of the power cavity 12, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the heating elements 14 on both sides of the evaporator 21, and greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency.
