[0025] Preferably, as Figure 3 As shown, the first heat sink 21 comprises heat dissipation fins 24 and vertical heat dissipation pipes 25 arranged in layers. The heat dissipation fins 24 are provided with fixing holes 26. The heat dissipation pipes 25 are sleeved with the heat dissipation fins 24. The heat dissipation fins 24 increase the heat exchange area and improve the heat exchange efficiency. That is, the heat dissipation fins 24 of the heat dissipation pipes 25 located at the evaporator 23 are beneficial to absorbing the heat of the low-temperature cavity 14; the heat dissipation fins 24 of the heat dissipation pipes 25 located at the condenser 22 are beneficial to dissipating the heat of the condenser 22.

[0027] The interference fit is a connection mode in the mechanical assembly of the prior art.

[0030] The filter capacitor 27 and the bus capacitor 28 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the evaporator 23, which is close to each other, is beneficial to the evaporator 23 to take away the heat of the filter capacitor 27 and the bus capacitor 28, improves the heat dissipation efficiency, and the heat dissipation effect is good. After the second heat dissipation fan 30 is started, due to the suction of the second heat dissipation fan 30, the hot air that absorbs the heat of the filter capacitor 27 located on the left side of the evaporator 23 is sucked to the evaporator 23. After being cooled by the evaporator 23, the hot air becomes cold air and flows into the bus capacitor 28 on the right side of the evaporator 23. After the cold air absorbs the heat of the bus capacitor 28, it continues to dissipate the heat of the power board 29 on the right side.

The cold air blown out by the third cooling fan 32 absorbs the heat of the power main components 11 when passing through the power main components 11 in the power cavity 15, and the cycle is repeated. An independent air duct is formed in the power cavity 15, and the power main components 11 in the power cavity 15 are cooled by the second radiator 31 and the third cooling fan 32.

The power module 35 and the alternating current switch 37 are arranged in the right part of the power cavity 15 from top to bottom in sequence.
[0033] The arrangement of the power main components 11 is as follows. Under the suction effect of the third cooling fan 32, the cooling air passes through the power inductor 36 below the second radiator 31, the hot cavity that has absorbed the heat of the power inductor 36 enters the second radiator 31, becomes cold air after being cooled by the second radiator 31, and is blown out by the third cooling fan 32 and dispersed to both sides of the third cooling fan 32. The cold air on both sides successively cools the direct current fuse 33, the direct current switch 34, the power module 35, and the alternating current switch 37 on both sides. Finally, the cooling air on both sides flows into the power inductor 36 from the bottom. The cycle is repeated, each power main component 11 in the power cavity 15 is cooled by the second radiator 31 and the third cooling fan 32, the cooling effect is good, and the cooling efficiency is high. The direct current fuse 33 and the alternating current switch 37 are arranged below, the layout is reasonable, and it is beneficial to connect the external power supply from the bottom of the cabinet 10 and output the power supply to the outside.
[0034] Specifically, the power module 35 is used to convert direct current into alternating current; the bus capacitor 28 is used to absorb voltage spikes; the power inductor 36 and the filter capacitor 27 both play a filtering role,
[0035] Preferably, as shown in the figure, the power main component 11 further comprises a transformer 38 and a Hall sensor 39, the transformer is electrically connected with the output end of the power inductor 36 through a bus, the output end of the transformer is electrically connected with the input end of the power board 29, the transformer is arranged below the AC switch 37, and the Hall sensor 39 is sleeved on the input bus of the AC switch 37.

The dry cooler 41 is externally arranged, and through the cooling pipeline, the power module 35 and the second radiator 31 are respectively cooled, and the power module 35 with large heat dissipation is separately provided with a heat exchange pipeline for cooling, so that the cooling effect is better and the cooling efficiency is very high.
[0039] Specifically, the first radiator 21 can be a heat pipe radiator or a water-cooled radiator or a thermal siphon radiator, and the bus capacitor 28 is arranged in a centralized manner.
[0040] The heat pipe radiator is a heat dissipation device in the prior art that realizes high-efficiency heat conduction by using heat pipe technology, and mainly comprises a sealed pipe, a wick and a vapor passage. The wick is wrapped around the pipe wall of the sealed pipe and is immersed in a saturated liquid that can volatilize; when the evaporator 23 absorbs heat, the liquid in the wick will boil and become vapor. The vapor carries heat to the condenser 22, releases heat and condenses into liquid, and then returns to the evaporation section through capillary action to form a circulation process and continuously dissipate heat.
