[0026] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0027] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0028] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0029] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0031] According to one embodiment of this application, a power frequency inverter is provided. For example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the power frequency inverter includes a housing 1 and inverter functional components. The inverter functional components are used to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). Multiple inverter functional components are provided and installed within the housing 1, and are connected in parallel.

[0032] In this example, multiple low-power inverter functional components are connected in parallel to form a high-power power frequency inverter. These components are integrated into a single enclosure 1, which improves space utilization and reduces production costs. The power frequency inverter operates synchronously with the grid frequency, typically 50Hz or 60Hz.

[0033] For example, two 10kW inverter functional components are connected in parallel and integrated in enclosure 1 to form a 20kW power frequency inverter. Alternatively, more inverter functional components can be set up, as can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0034] In this example, multiple inverter functional components are connected in parallel and have a high-power output interface, serving as the high-power output terminal of the line-frequency inverter. Each inverter functional component can also have its own output interface, serving as the low-power output terminal of the line-frequency inverter, thereby enabling the line-frequency inverter to be used in different environments and improving its applicability.

[0035] In one example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inverter functional components include a power frequency transformer 2 and a power board 3, and the power frequency transformer 2 is electrically connected to the power board 3.

[0036] In this example, the power frequency transformer 2 is used to step up the low-voltage AC power to the mains standard (e.g., 220V or 380V) while providing electrical isolation to enhance safety. The power board 3 is capable of converting DC power to AC power through high-frequency switching operation.

[0037] On the DC input side, power board 3 converts DC power into pulsating AC power, which is then output to the primary winding of power frequency transformer 2. For example, the power frequency inverter input is low-voltage DC (e.g., 48V), which is then converted into square wave AC power by a full-bridge inverter circuit and subsequently stepped up to 220V or 380V AC power by power frequency transformer 2.

[0038] In this example, the inverter functional components are provided in two sets, with the two power frequency transformers 2 having the same power. For example, the power of both power frequency transformers 2 is 10KW. Those skilled in the art can decide according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0039] It should be noted that the power frequency transformer 2 can be fixedly installed on the inner wall of the enclosure 1 by welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or screwing fasteners. The power board 3 is installed on the inner wall of the enclosure 1 and is located on one side of the power frequency transformer 2. The power board 3 can also be fixedly installed on the inner wall of the enclosure 1 by welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or screwing fasteners. Of course, the specific installation method of the power frequency transformer 2 and the power board 3 can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0040] In one example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inverter functional components also include a filter 4, which is electrically connected between the power frequency transformer 2 and the power board 3.

[0041] In this example, filter 4 filters out high-frequency harmonics and optimizes the output waveform. On the DC input side, filter 4 is electrically connected between the primary winding of the power frequency transformer 2 and the power board 3. The power board 3 converts DC into pulsating AC, which is then filtered by filter 4 to provide a stable input voltage to the power frequency transformer 2. On the AC output side, filter 4 is also connected to the secondary winding of the power frequency transformer 2 to correct the waveform and output AC that is close to a sine wave.

[0042] In one example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inverter functional component also includes a relay 5, which is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 and is located at the input and / or output terminals of the inverter functional component.

[0043] like Figure 2As shown, in this example, relay 5 provides protection for both the input and output terminals. Relay 5 acts as an input protection switch to prevent overvoltage damage to the power frequency inverter; simultaneously, it acts as an output protection switch to ensure a safe connection between the AC power output of the power frequency inverter and the power grid. Furthermore, relay 5 functions as a circuit switch and mode control device. When the power frequency inverter needs to switch to power frequency supply due to a fault or specific requirements, relay 5 controls the on / off state of the contactor to achieve a rapid switch between the inverter output and the power frequency supply. For example, if an internal inverter fault causes a shutdown, relay 5 will automatically switch the load to the power frequency supply after a delay, ensuring continuous equipment operation and preventing production interruptions.

[0044] In this example, the overall connection process of the inverter functional components includes:

[0045] In the DC input path:

[0046] DC power supply → input relay → power board → filter → primary winding of power frequency transformer.

[0047] In the communication output path:

[0048] The secondary winding of the power frequency transformer → filter (secondary filter) → output relay → load or power grid.

[0049] In this example, relay 5 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. For example, relay 5 can be fixed to the inner wall of housing 1 by welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or screwing. Of course, those skilled in the art can determine the specific installation method of relay 5 according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0050] In one example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the power frequency inverter also includes a control board 6, which is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the inverter functional components.

[0051] In this example, control board 6 plays a crucial role in the entire process of power conversion, system protection, and intelligent management within the power frequency inverter. Control board 6 uses a microcontroller to execute a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) algorithm to generate a sinusoidal drive signal. Control board 6 integrates overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature sensor interfaces, implementing dual protection through hardware comparators and software algorithms. For example, if the temperature exceeds a threshold, the drive signal is immediately cut off, and the cooling system is triggered.

[0052] In one example, the power frequency inverter also includes an auxiliary power supply 7, which is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0053] like Figure 4As shown, in this example, auxiliary power supply 7 can serve as a backup power source to supply power to critical components inside the power frequency inverter when the main power supply fails or the grid fluctuates, ensuring continuous operation of the system under abnormal conditions. Auxiliary power supply 7 can seamlessly switch over, avoiding production interruptions or data loss. Auxiliary power supply 7 can also block electromagnetic interference (such as high-frequency harmonics and surge currents) between the main circuit and the control system through electrical isolation design, preventing damage to sensitive components (such as microcontrollers and communication modules).

[0054] In this example, the auxiliary power supply 7 is installed on the inner wall of the enclosure 1. For example, the auxiliary power supply 7 can be fixed to the inner wall of the enclosure 1 by welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or screwing. Of course, those skilled in the art can determine the specific installation method of the auxiliary power supply 7 according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0055] In one example, the power frequency inverter also includes an external communication board 8, which is suitable for electrical connection with external devices.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, the external communication board 8 is equipped with an external interface to collect real-time operating data of the power frequency inverter, including voltage, current, power, temperature, etc., and then encapsulates the data and uploads it to the cloud or local monitoring platform.

[0057] In one example, the power frequency inverter further includes a heat sink 9, which is installed in the housing 1 and is used to dissipate heat from the inverter's functional components.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a heat sink is installed in the enclosure 1 to dissipate heat from the inverter functional components inside the enclosure 1. For example, the heat sink can be a fan to achieve air cooling, or it can be an aluminum heat sink. Those skilled in the art can decide according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0059] In this example, multiple heat sinks 9 are provided, and these multiple heat sinks 9 are connected at intervals to the side wall of the housing 1. By providing multiple heat sinks, the heat dissipation effect can be improved, which helps to extend the operating time of the power frequency inverter.

[0060] The above embodiments mainly describe the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. For the sake of brevity, they will not be elaborated here.

Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
