Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cabin main control cabinet structure, especially a kind of cooling system of cabin main control cabinet and cabin main control cabinet. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of wind power, the cabin main control cabinet is placed inside the cabin located at the top of the wind turbine, which is an electric control device. Its main function is to collect signals from the execution components, transmit signals between other control subsystems and output execution signals to the execution components. The execution components mainly include the variable pitch system, wind speed and direction, hydraulic system, yaw system and generator, etc. Therefore, there are a large number of electrical components in the cabin main control cabinet. As a result, a large amount of heat is generated in the cabin main control cabinet due to the presence of a large number of electrical components. This heat will cause the internal temperature of the main control cabinet to rise, which will affect the operation of the electrical components in the main control cabinet. Therefore, the main control cabinet needs to be cooled.

[0003] The current common method is to open an air outlet at the top, install an axial flow fan at the air outlet, open an air inlet at the bottom, and the axial flow fan draws air outward, thereby achieving the absorption of cold air from the air inlet into the main control cabinet, and the high-temperature air in the main control cabinet is sent out through the axial flow fan, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling. Although this method can effectively cool, since external air (air in the cabin, which is sent into the cabin by the axial flow fan used for cooling the cabin) enters, it will bring in some dust, which can easily cause static electricity between electrical components, affecting or damaging electrical components. With the development and application of semiconductor refrigerating fins, the technical personnel in this field further improve it, such as the utility model patent with publication number "CN219042345U" which discloses "an automatic heat dissipation device for a fully enclosed electrical control cabinet". This method uses semiconductor refrigerating fins directly installed on the cabinet body to cool the inside of the cabinet body. This cooling method can only cool locally. For a large cabin main control cabinet, it cannot achieve overall cooling and the cooling temperature distribution is uneven, which is more likely to cause thermal expansion and contraction damage to internal electrical components. Further, the technical personnel in this field think of adding a cooling box outside the electrical cabinet, and the cooling source of the cooling box is a semiconductor refrigerating fin. After the hot air in the cabinet body is extracted by the axial flow fan, it is cooled by the cooling box, and then sent into the cabinet body, i.e. realizing internal circulation, and there is no exchange between the inside of the cabinet body and the outside air, thereby achieving effective cooling while avoiding the introduction of dust mixed in the outside air.
