Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to inductor technical field especially relates to a liquid cooling heat dissipation inductor device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The photovoltaic inductor is composed of an inductor main body, a metal shell and a pouring sealant. The photovoltaic inductor not only needs to bear large current on the photovoltaic power generation system, but also needs to have the performance requirements of good heat dissipation, small volume, long service life, low cost, small power consumption, high working efficiency, waterproof, dustproof, anticorrosion and beauty. The metal shell of the photovoltaic inductor plays a crucial role in the performance requirements.

[0003] In the current industry, the metal shell of the photovoltaic inductor is a shell structure with cooling fins, i.e. a cooling fin metal shell. The cooling fin metal shell increases the contact area with air through the cooling fins to expand the heat dissipation area of the photovoltaic inductor, and finally performs heat dissipation through natural cooling or forced air cooling. However, there are problems:

[0004] 1. The cooling fin metal shell cannot adapt to the photovoltaic power generation system with large working current. The cooling fin metal shell cannot effectively reduce the high temperature generated by the photovoltaic inductor during operation through natural cooling or forced air cooling. Due to the inability to dissipate heat in time, the working temperature rises, which reduces the current carrying capacity of the photovoltaic inductor, and further increases the power consumption, reduces the working efficiency and shortens the service life.

[0005] 2. The cooling fin metal shell is provided with cooling fins radiating outward, which causes the volume of the photovoltaic inductor to increase in the full range, and the space occupation of the cooling fins is large, which further causes the overall size of the photovoltaic equipment installed with the photovoltaic inductor to increase.

[0006] 3. The photovoltaic inductor is generally externally hung and locked outside the photovoltaic equipment cabinet. The sealing ring on the mounting surface of the photovoltaic inductor is used to prevent moisture and dust in the environment from entering the photovoltaic equipment cabinet through the installation gap between the photovoltaic inductor and the photovoltaic equipment cabinet. However, as the sealing ring of the photovoltaic inductor ages, the waterproof and dustproof performance will deteriorate, which will cause moisture and dust to enter the photovoltaic equipment cabinet, affecting the electrical circuit of the photovoltaic equipment. In addition, the externally hung and locked photovoltaic inductor is easily corroded by the external environment. Although the metal shell of the photovoltaic inductor has a protective layer such as a coating or an oxidation layer, it will still be corroded after a long time. Increasing the corrosion resistance of the protective layer will increase the process difficulty and cost of the protective layer. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0068] In this embodiment, a block-shaped magnetic powder core alloy magnetic core is adopted.

This method has high production efficiency, low cost, and the copper wire has low resistance, low power loss, good thermal conductivity, and strong current carrying capacity.

[0075] The liquid-cooled inductor provided in this embodiment is applied in photovoltaic power generation systems. Photovoltaic power generation systems include residential, commercial / industrial, and ground-mounted systems. The liquid-cooled inductor can be used in photovoltaic inverters, energy storage inverters, and other photovoltaic equipment. When using it, the customer first installs the liquid-cooled inductor on the pre-installed screw posts inside the photovoltaic equipment chassis, then tightens it with nuts. Next, the input and output terminals of the liquid-cooled inductor are connected to the corresponding circuit positions. Finally, liquid cooling pipes are installed on the liquid-cooled connector 7 of the liquid-cooled inductor to complete the installation. The liquid-cooled inductor functions as an energy storage, filter, voltage boost, voltage buck, and voltage stabilizer in the circuit.

[0076] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 Compare this embodiment with the prior art:

[0077] Among them, the existing technology A is a conventional heat sink heat dissipation solution, which sets a large number of dense heat sinks on the inductor casing, and then dissipates heat through natural cooling or forced air cooling.

[0078] The existing technology B is a conventional bottom-mounted water-cooled base plate cooling solution (such as Chinese patent CN216773002U "A Water-Cooled Inductor Module Structure"). In this solution, the inductor is mounted on an independent water-cooled base plate, and the water-cooled base plate absorbs the heat from the inductor through a thermally conductive silicone grease layer for heat dissipation.

[0079] Existing technology C is an improved cooling solution for existing technology B, in which two sets of symmetrical water-cooling plates are nested or installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the metal shell of the photovoltaic inductor, and the water-cooling plates are sealed in the potting adhesive layer after potting.

[0080] Comparative analysis shows that:

[0081] 1. Regarding heat dissipation and temperature, this embodiment can reduce the operating temperature of the inductor to around 100°C. In contrast, prior art A uses natural cooling and forced air cooling, so its operating temperature is around 140°C. Prior art B uses a water-cooled base plate for heat dissipation, but due to the presence of a partition (inductor housing, thermal grease, and water-cooled base plate housing), the heat dissipation efficiency cannot be further improved, and the operating temperature is around 130°C. Prior art C uses two sets of water-cooled plates to expand the contact area, resulting in an operating temperature of around 120°C. As can be seen from the comparison, the cooling efficiency of this embodiment is significant.

[0082] II. In terms of volume, under the premise of the same power and large current inductor, the overall volume of the inductor device can be made to 1523390mm 3 The volume of the products of the prior arts A, B and C is at least 1770465mm 3 and at most 2311760mm 3 In terms of volume, compared with the smallest embedded prior art C, the volume of the embodiment is 86% of that of the prior art C; compared with the largest prior art A, the volume of the embodiment is 65.9% of that of the prior art A, which is 14% to 34.1% lower than the prior arts, and further miniaturization is achieved.

[0083] III. In terms of service life, in a general working environment, the service life of an inductor used normally and continuously depends mainly on the working temperature of the inductor. When working normally, the higher the working temperature of the inductor, the faster the aging of the insulation material, wire, heat-conducting material, sealing ring and shell in the inductor, and the shorter the service life. The working temperature of the inductor of the prior art A is as high as about 140℃ when the current load is 300A, the inductor ages very fast, and thus the service life is very short, only 4-5 years. The working temperature of the inductor of the prior art B is about 130℃ when the current load is 300A, the inductor also ages fast, and thus the service life is 8-10 years. The working temperature of the inductor of the prior art C is about 120℃ when the current load is 300A, and thus the service life is 13-15 years. The inductor of the embodiment is miniaturized, and is installed in the photovoltaic device case and cooled by liquid, so that the heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved, the working environment is stable and the temperature is appropriate, the working temperature of the inductor is only about 100℃ when the current load is 300A, and thus the service life is greatly increased, which is 18-20 years according to the test data.

[0084] IV. Analysis from the maximum current load capacity

[0085] The higher the working temperature of the inductor when working normally, the worse the maximum current load capacity of the inductor. The working temperature of the inductor of the embodiment is only about 100℃ when the current load is 300A, and thus the maximum current load capacity of the inductor can reach about 380A, which is significantly improved compared with the maximum current load capacities of the prior arts A, B and C, which are about 300A, about 320A and about 340A respectively.

[0086] V. Analysis from the investment cost

[0087] On the one hand, since the embodiment adopts extrusion molding, the mold cost is nearly 10% different from prior arts B and C, and the mold cost of prior art A is particularly high due to the need for die casting manufacturing of the shell with fins;

[0088] On the other hand, the overall cost of the liquid cooling shell 1 of the embodiment is only 57.3 yuan combined with the glue pouring cost, which is similar to prior art A, but the mold cost of prior art A is as high as 50,000 yuan, and the overall cost is obviously high; compared with prior arts B and C, which need to additionally manufacture the water cooling plate, the costs are 128.82 yuan and 153.5 yuan respectively, and the cost of a single product is too high, which is 2.25 times and 2.678 times of the embodiment, much higher than the embodiment.

[0089] In summary, compared with prior arts A, B and C, the embodiment has made significant progress in heat dissipation efficiency, volume, service life, maximum current carrying capacity and cost.

[0090] The embodiment of the utility model based on the current large current inductor heat dissipation demand, in the base A of integral molding is integrated liquid cooling bottom plate 1, set up radial distribution liquid cooling flow channel 11, two two adjacent liquid cooling flow channel 11 head and tail connection and pour into cooling liquid, thereby take away the large amount of heat generated when inductance main body works in large current, avoid the heat accumulation and produce high temperature or continuously work in high temperature, realize liquid cooling type heat dissipation, compared with the traditional fin heat dissipation, realize the outstanding progress of 40 DEG C of working temperature reduction, the heat dissipation efficiency improves greatly, and the product current carrying capacity increases by 26.6%, and the service life increases by 3-3.5 times;And because the liquid cooling flow channel 11 and the base A are integrally formed, the product volume is reduced by 34% compared with the base A, the mold investment cost is reduced by 82%, the product cost is low, the power consumption is small, and the working efficiency is high;Miniaturization is installed with the mounting plate in built-in type to realize the functions of waterproof, dustproof and anticorrosion, avoid the moisture and dust entering the photovoltaic equipment cabinet inside when the photovoltaic inductor is externally mounted on the photovoltaic equipment cabinet, which affects the electrical circuit, and further improves the service life of the product.
