Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frequency converter technology, specifically to a heat dissipation structure for a frequency converter. Background Technology
[0002] The frequency converters used in some large-scale equipment are generally equipped with a fan-driven cooling structure to achieve active heat dissipation due to their high operating intensity, thereby ensuring the stability of the frequency converter's operation.
[0003] However, existing frequency converters with fan-equipped cooling structures typically maintain a fixed fan speed during operation, ensuring a constant cooling effect. If the frequency converter's workload increases, the heat generated rises while the cooling effect remains constant. This can lead to insufficient heat dissipation, causing the frequency converter to burn out due to excessive heat accumulation. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the cooling effect of the frequency converter's cooling structure in relation to its workload. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model discloses a heat dissipation structure for a frequency converter, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the heat dissipation structure is located inside the rear end of the housing 2 of the frequency converter 1. The heat dissipation structure includes side heat dissipation holes 22, upper heat dissipation holes 23, a fan 3, a first baffle assembly 5, and a second baffle assembly 6. One side wall of the rear end of the housing 2 has several side heat dissipation holes 22, the top of the rear end of the housing 2 has several upper heat dissipation holes 23, and the bottom of the rear end of the housing 2 has at least one mounting hole 21. The fan 3 is installed inside the mounting hole 21. A housing 4 is located above the fan 3, and the bottom of the housing 4 has two first heat dissipation channels 41 directly facing the fan 3. The top of the housing 4 is provided with a heat dissipation cavity 42 that communicates with the first heat dissipation channel 41. The first baffle assembly 5 and the second baffle assembly 6 are both disposed in the heat dissipation cavity 42. The first baffle assembly 5 and the second baffle assembly 6 are disposed in the heat dissipation cavity 42 in pairs. The space of the heat dissipation cavity 42 between the first baffle assembly 5 and the second baffle assembly 6 forms a second heat dissipation channel 421 that communicates with the side heat dissipation hole 22 and / or the upper heat dissipation hole 23. The outer shell 2 outside the heat dissipation cavity 42 is provided with a driving device 7. The first baffle assembly 5 and the second baffle assembly 6 are both connected to the driving device 7.
[0023] It should be noted that: Fan 3 draws air from below the inverter 1 into the inverter 1's housing 2, carrying away the heat generated during inverter 1's operation. The hot air formed by the drawn-in air and the heat enters the first heat dissipation channel 41. As fan 3 continues to operate, hot air continuously flows from the first heat dissipation channel 41 into the second heat dissipation channel 421. At this time, the operator can control the drive device 7 through a controller connected to the drive device 7. The drive device 7 drives the first baffle assembly 5 and the second baffle assembly 6, and adjusts its own structure under the drive device 7's influence, thereby changing the shape of the second heat dissipation channel 421 within the heat dissipation cavity 42. The operating state of the fan 3 and the shape of the second heat dissipation channel 421 can be adjusted to change the direction of hot air in the heat dissipation cavity 42. The position of hot air exiting the heat dissipation cavity 42 can be adjusted to three ways: exiting from the side heat dissipation hole 22, exiting from the upper heat dissipation hole 23, or exiting from both the side heat dissipation hole 22 and the upper heat dissipation hole 23 simultaneously. The operating state of the drive device 7 can also be set to be synchronized with the operating state of the fan 3, so that the operating state of the drive device 7 is coordinated according to the speed of the fan 3, thereby realizing the time control of hot air exiting the inverter 1. By controlling the position of hot air exiting the heat dissipation cavity 42 and the time of hot air exiting the inverter 1, the purpose of adjusting the heat dissipation effect can be achieved.
[0024] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first baffle assembly 5 is composed of several first baffles 51, and the second baffle assembly 6 is composed of several second baffles 61. Both ends of the first baffle 51 and both ends of the second baffle 61 are connected to the housing 4 through a rotating shaft passing through the housing 4. The driving device 7 connects the rotating shafts of the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61. Under the drive of the driving device 7, the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61 rotate within the heat dissipation cavity 42 with their rotating shafts at their ends as the rotation center, and divide the space within the heat dissipation cavity 42 to form several second heat dissipation channels 421.
[0025] The walls on both sides of the second heat dissipation channel 421 are formed by several first baffles 51 and second baffles 61, thereby forming several second heat dissipation channels 421 for guiding hot air in the heat dissipation cavity 42. By rotating the first baffles 51 and second baffles 61, the shape of the second heat dissipation channel 421 can be adjusted, thereby changing the direction of hot air in the heat dissipation cavity 42. Combined with the overall speed of the fan 3, the heat dissipation effect of the inverter 1 can be adjusted.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, after the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61 are rotated, the bottom end of the first baffle 51 abuts against the top end of the second baffle 61, and a plurality of second heat dissipation channels 421 with end-connecting side heat dissipation holes 22 are formed in the heat dissipation cavity 42.
[0027] When it is necessary to use the fan 3 to quickly dissipate the heat energy accumulated inside the inverter 1, the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61 can form the wall of the second heat dissipation channel 421 in the heat dissipation cavity 42. After the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61 are combined, the second heat dissipation channel 421 is formed with the side heat dissipation hole 22 and the first heat dissipation channel 41 respectively at both ends. Since the distance from one side of the second heat dissipation channel 421 to the side wall of the outer casing 2 is short, the heat energy accumulated inside the inverter 1 can be quickly discharged from the side heat dissipation hole 22 to the outside of the inverter 1.
[0028] As a further embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, after the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61 are rotated, the ends of the two first baffles 51, which are located adjacent to each other in the height direction of the heat dissipation cavity 42, abut against each other, and the ends of the two second baffles 61, which are located adjacent to each other in the height direction of the heat dissipation cavity 42, a plurality of second heat dissipation channels 421 with their ends connected to the heat dissipation holes 23 are formed in the heat dissipation cavity 42.
[0029] When the fan 3 is used to normally dissipate the heat accumulated inside the inverter 1, the abutment of the ends of two adjacent first baffles 51 in the height direction of the heat dissipation cavity 42 forms a part of the wall of the second heat dissipation channel 421. Then, the abutment of the ends of several first baffles 51 forms one side wall of the second heat dissipation channel 421. Similarly, the abutment of the ends of two adjacent second baffles 61 in the height direction of the heat dissipation cavity 42 forms a part of the wall of the second heat dissipation channel 421. Then, the abutment of the ends of several second baffles 61 forms the other side wall of the second heat dissipation channel 421. After the first baffles 51 and the second baffles 61 are combined, a second heat dissipation channel 421 is formed with its two ends connected to the upper heat dissipation hole 23 and the first heat dissipation channel 41, respectively. Since hot air tends to rise, with the upward blowing effect of the fan 3, the heat dissipation problem of the inverter 1, which is using the fan 3 at normal power for heat dissipation, can not only be solved well, but also achieve energy saving.
[0030] As a further embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6As shown, after the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61 are rotated, the ends of all the first baffle 51 do not abut against each other and do not abut against the ends of the second baffle 61, and the ends of all the second baffle 61 do not abut against each other and do not abut against the ends of the first baffle 51. The ends of the second heat dissipation channel 421 formed in the heat dissipation cavity 42 are respectively connected to the side heat dissipation hole 22 and the upper heat dissipation hole 23.
[0031] When the fan 3 is off, the second heat dissipation channel 421 can be connected to the outside through the side heat dissipation hole 22 and the upper heat dissipation hole 23. The air inside the heat dissipation cavity 42 can be discharged to the outside of the inverter 1 through the second heat dissipation channel 421 to the side heat dissipation hole 22 or the upper heat dissipation hole 23. Compared with the other two types of second heat dissipation channel 421 structures, this second heat dissipation channel 421 structure has the largest area for air exchange with the outside of the inverter 1, and the heat dissipation effect inside the inverter 1 will be better when the fan 3 is not working.
[0032] As a further embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the driving device 7 includes a first transmission wheel 71, a first transmission belt 72, a second transmission wheel 73, a second transmission belt 74, a linear stepper motor 75, and a third transmission belt 76. The first transmission wheel 71 is located at the outer rear end of the heat dissipation cavity 42, on the outer side of the housing 4. A first driven wheel 77 is located on the outer side of the middle portion of the housing 4 of the first baffle assembly 5 via a rotating shaft. The first transmission belt 72 is sleeved around the first transmission wheel 71 and the first driven wheel 77 connected to the rotating shaft of the first baffle 51. A second driven wheel 78 is located on the housing 4 above the second baffle assembly 6 via a rotating shaft. The outer shell 4 at the top is provided with a third driven wheel 79 via a rotating shaft. The second transmission belt 74 is sleeved on the outside of the first transmission wheel 71, the second driven wheel 78, and the third driven wheel 79 connected to the rotating shaft of the second baffle 61. The rotating shafts at the other ends of the first baffle 51 and the second baffle 61 are provided with second transmission wheels 73. The second transmission wheels 73 are located on the outer shell 4 at the front end of the heat dissipation cavity 42. The linear stepper motor 75 is located on the outer wall of the shell 4 near the side of the second transmission wheel 73. The second transmission wheel 73 is sleeved with a third transmission belt 76. The output end of the linear stepper motor 75 is connected to a connecting block 710. The other end of the connecting block 710 is connected to the middle section of the third transmission belt 76.
[0033] A linear stepper motor 75 is connected to one side of a third transmission belt 76 for driving. The connection between the third transmission belt 76 and the second transmission wheel 73 drives one of the first baffles 51 and one of the second baffles 61 to rotate. When one of the first baffles 51 and the second baffle 61 rotates, the first baffle 51 transmits kinetic energy to the remaining first baffles 51 through the transmission structure formed by the first transmission belt 72, the first transmission wheel 71, and the first driven wheel 77, thereby causing the remaining first baffles 51 to rotate. The second baffle 61 transmits kinetic energy to the remaining second baffles 61 through the transmission structure formed by the second transmission belt 74, the first transmission wheel 71, the second driven wheel 78, and the third driven wheel 79, thereby causing the remaining second baffles 61 to rotate. All the first baffles 51 and the second baffles 61 rotate under the drive of the linear stepper motor 75, thereby changing the structure of the second heat dissipation channel 421, and thus changing the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure set in the frequency converter 1.
[0034] As a further embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first heat dissipation channel 41 is a semi-enclosed pipe structure, and the opening side of the first heat dissipation channel 41 is located behind the inverter 1.
[0035] The opening of the first heat dissipation channel 41 is directly opposite the rear end of the main body of the inverter 1. The heat energy emitted from the rear end of the main body of the inverter 1 can more easily enter the first heat dissipation channel 41 and be carried into the second heat dissipation channel 421 above the first heat dissipation channel 41 along with the air blown into the first heat dissipation channel 41 by the fan 3.
[0036] As a further embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side wall where the non-side heat dissipation hole 22 is located in the housing 4 is a closed surface 43.
[0037] The enclosure 43 allows the heat dissipation structure to avoid other walls of the housing 4 from affecting the exhaust of hot air in the heat dissipation cavity 42 when using the side heat dissipation hole 22 or the upper heat dissipation hole 23 for different heat dissipation effects. This facilitates the guidance and exhaust of hot air in the heat dissipation cavity 42, thereby making the heat dissipation speed of the frequency converter 1 controllable.
[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
