TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to refrigeration technical field especially relates to a variable frequency controller with cooling structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important component of refrigeration compressor, the variable frequency controller can continuously adjust and control the speed of the refrigeration compressor, has the effects of temperature control and energy saving, and plays a crucial role in the performance and efficiency of the refrigeration compressor. The power components of the variable frequency controller generate a large amount of heat, especially the main chip and IGBT. Since the working environment of the refrigerator compressor is special, the variable frequency controller requires airtight sealing and cannot be provided with heat-conducting holes to prevent condensed water and small insects from entering the inside of the controller, which causes poor heat dissipation of the variable frequency controller and high temperature of the internal components. The high temperature during normal operation of the compressor will also transfer heat to the variable frequency controller, further deteriorating the environment of the controller. Especially in summer, the ambient temperature is high, the compressor needs more power to operate, and the temperature of the compressor itself is also higher. The three situations superimpose and further increase the temperature of the variable frequency controller. In summer, the variable frequency controller often fails due to high temperature, and reducing the temperature of the variable frequency controller can greatly improve its reliability.

By setting the heat-conducting plates, heat dissipation fins and heat dissipation fans, the heat-conducting plates are clamped on the track rods and attached to the sides of the variable frequency controller body for heat conduction. Then, heat is conducted to the heat-conducting plates through the heat dissipation holes and the sides of the variable frequency controller body. Subsequently, the heat is conducted to the heat dissipation fins, and the started heat dissipation fans rotate to blow the heat on the heat dissipation fins, so that the heat on the heat dissipation fins is quickly carried away by the airflow. Through the continuous heat dissipation of the heat dissipation fins, the effect of quickly cooling and heat dissipating the variable frequency controller body is achieved, and the problem that the conventional heat dissipation of the existing variable frequency controller cannot meet the heat dissipation of the variable frequency controller under high power is solved.

[0020] As an important component of refrigeration compressor, frequency converter controller can continuously adjust the speed of refrigeration compressor, has the effects of temperature control and energy saving, and plays a crucial role in the performance and efficiency of refrigeration compressor. The power components of frequency converter controller generate a large amount of heat, especially the main chip and IGBT. Due to the special working environment of refrigerator compressor, frequency converter controller requires sealing and cannot have heat-conducting holes to prevent condensed water and small insects from entering the interior of the controller, which causes poor heat dissipation of frequency converter controller and high temperature of internal components. The high temperature of the compressor during normal operation also transfers heat to the frequency converter controller, further deteriorating the environment of the controller. Especially in summer, the ambient temperature is high, the compressor needs more power, and the temperature of the compressor itself is also higher. The three situations superimpose and further increase the temperature of the frequency converter controller. In summer, the frequency converter controller often fails due to high temperature, and reducing the temperature of the frequency converter controller can greatly improve its reliability.
[0021] Therefore, the heat inside the frequency converter controller is conducted out of the controller radiating pipe 6 through the radiating plate 4 and the heat conduction sheet 5, and then the heat is discharged through the controller radiating pipe 6.
[0022] In this embodiment, the controller heat dissipation pipe 6 is U-shaped, and the heat conduction sheet 5 is provided with a U-shaped groove 5.1 corresponding to the structure of the controller heat dissipation pipe 6. The heat conduction sheet 5 and the controller heat dissipation pipe 6 are provided with corresponding grooves, which are easy to assemble and position, and can make the heat conduction sheet 5 and the controller heat dissipation pipe 6 fully contact, thereby accelerating the heat transfer efficiency. The controller heat dissipation pipe 6 is fixed on the heat dissipation plate 4 through the elastic sheet 7. The fixing mode of the elastic sheet 7 makes the installation of the controller heat dissipation pipe 6 more convenient.
[0023] As shown in Figure 3 The elastic sheet 7 is divided into upper and lower sheets, and the shapes of the two sides of the sheet are consistent with the pipe diameter, which is slightly larger than the pipe diameter and does not interfere with the installation of other components. There are threaded holes on the upper sheet, which can further strengthen the fixation of the controller heat dissipation pipe 6.

The controller shell is fixed on the refrigeration compressor through the buckle 1.1. The controller is placed in the controller rear shell. The controller front shell 1 and the controller rear cover 3 are bonded by glue or fixed by the buckle 1.1. The heat dissipation plate 4 is attached to the back of the controller rear shell. Part of the heat in the controller shell can be transferred out of the shell, thereby reducing the temperature in the controller. The heat dissipation plate 4 is fixed on the controller rear shell through the screw 8.

One end of the controller heat-dissipating pipe 6 is connected to the refrigeration compressor, and the other end is connected to the refrigerator. The heat from the frequency conversion controller is transmitted to the controller heat-dissipating pipe 6 through the heat-dissipating plate 4 and the heat-conducting sheet 5, and then is dissipated by using the pipe for providing refrigeration to the refrigerator by the refrigeration compressor, so that the refrigeration compressor provides refrigeration to the refrigerator while achieving the effect of cooling and dissipating heat for the frequency conversion controller.

One side of the controller heat-dissipating pipe 6 is closely attached to the heat-conducting sheet 5, and the other side is fixed to the rear shell of the controller by two elastic sheets 7. The temperature of the controller heat-dissipating pipe 6 is lower than the temperature of the controller shell. The heat transmitted from the heat-dissipating plate 4 can be effectively transmitted to the outside through the controller heat-dissipating pipe 6. The controller heat-dissipating pipe 6 is a copper pipe, which can greatly enhance the heat transfer efficiency.
[0030] The heat from the frequency conversion controller is transmitted to the controller heat-dissipating pipe 6 through the heat-dissipating plate 4 and the heat-conducting sheet 5.
