Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation equipment for electronic components, specifically a heat dissipation device for AC filter capacitor modules of wind power converters. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in wind power converter systems, AC filter capacitors are used as filters in the circuit, forming an LC filter with the filter inductor. They absorb harmonic currents of corresponding frequencies from the power grid, eliminating the harm of high-order harmonics to the main transformer or other electrical equipment in the system. They absorb grid harmonics, improving the system power factor and safety. During converter operation, the AC filter capacitor carries a large current, including harmonic currents, causing significant heat generation in the AC filter capacitor module. Therefore, its heat dissipation performance is a key indicator affecting reliability. In the power electronics industry, AC filter capacitors are typically cooled by natural or forced air. Natural cooling allows the capacitor's heat to dissipate naturally into the air. While this method provides uniform temperature dissipation, the capacitor's heat dissipation efficiency is low, and the capacitor cannot cool down quickly enough, thus limiting its filtering capacity. Forced cooling uses airflow to cool the AC filter capacitor. However, this results in uneven temperature distribution, leading to inconsistent heat dissipation. Based on the material characteristics of AC filter capacitors, the higher the temperature, the shorter the lifespan. This means that the overall lifespan of an AC filter capacitor module is limited by the hottest capacitor. When a capacitor fails due to overheating, the entire AC filter capacitor module needs to be replaced.

[0003] For example, utility model publication CN221079829U discloses a heat dissipation device for an AC filter capacitor module of a wind power converter, including an AC filter capacitor module, a heat exchanger, and cooling fans. The heat exchanger is located at the front end of the AC filter capacitor module, and heat-conducting liquid cooling pipes are evenly arranged inside the heat exchanger. Both ends of the heat-conducting liquid cooling pipes extend to the outside of the heat exchanger, and continuously variable speed (CVS) water pumps are connected to both ends of the heat-conducting liquid cooling pipes. The CVS water pumps are immersed in coolant. Multiple cooling fans are arranged side-by-side at the rear end of the AC filter capacitor module. This utility model can ensure uniform heat dissipation for each capacitor within the AC filter capacitor module of the wind power converter, improving heat dissipation efficiency and thus enhancing the reliability of the AC filter capacitor module.

[0004] The aforementioned heat dissipation device improves heat dissipation efficiency by absorbing heat from the AC filter capacitor module of the wind power converter through a heat dissipation fan installed on one side of the AC filter capacitor module. However, since the fan blades rotate, the wind speed near the center of the fan inlet is higher than that at the edge of the inlet. As a result, during the operation of the aforementioned device, the heat near the center of the heat dissipation fan is absorbed faster than the heat at the edge of the fan inlet, leading to uneven hot air extraction speed and uneven heat dissipation effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat dissipation device for the AC filter capacitor module of a wind power converter, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a heat dissipation device for an AC filter capacitor module of a wind power converter, comprising an AC filter capacitor module, a guide frame fixedly installed on one side of the AC filter capacitor module, and a plurality of cooling fans fixedly installed on the end of the guide frame away from the AC filter capacitor module, a rectifier unit fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide frame near the AC filter capacitor module, and a current equalization plate fixedly connected to the rectifier unit away from the AC filter capacitor module.

[0007] Preferably, the guide frame is a rectangular hollow structure, and the side of the guide frame away from the AC filter capacitor module is connected to the air intake of each cooling fan.

[0008] Preferably, the rectifier unit includes a rectifier plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide frame, and the rectifier plate is uniformly provided with a plurality of rectifier slots along the horizontal direction.

[0009] Preferably, each of the rectifier slots has a < shape.

[0010] Preferably, the flow equalization plate is a honeycomb porous plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention utilizes several centrifugal cooling fans to draw out the heat generated within the AC filter capacitor module during the suction process of these fans, thereby promoting heat dissipation. A rectangular hollow guide frame is positioned between the AC filter capacitor module and the cooling fans to guide the hot air suction. Multiple rectifier slots on the rectifier plate further rectify the airflow during the cooling fan suction process. Combined with the effect of the honeycomb porous flow equalization plate, the speed at which heat is dissipated from the AC filter capacitor module during the suction process of the multiple cooling fans is more uniform, resulting in better heat dissipation within the AC filter capacitor module.
