[0003] Existing converter stations generally use circulating valve towers to handle ultra-high voltage and high current loads. The converter valve is the core working component, and the core component of the converter valve is the thyristor. It is made of semiconductor materials, which makes it highly susceptible to feedback effects from temperature changes, resulting in increased power loss. However, under ultra-high voltage and high current conditions, the thyristor itself is prone to generating a lot of heat. Therefore, effective heat dissipation of the thyristor structure is required to ensure stable operation.

[0027] Example 1
[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high heat dissipation type low loss converter valve, including a heat dissipation base plate 1, a first control component 2, a second control component 3, a damping capacitor 4, a voltage equalizing capacitor 5, a damping resistor 6, a voltage equalizing resistor 7, and a saturated reactor 8.

The first upper clamping plate 203 and the first lower clamping plate 204 provide a limited combination basis for the internal components. The first lower insulating sheet 207 and the first upper insulating sheet 208 isolate the internal electrical components from the first lower clamping plate 202 and the first upper clamping plate 203 to prevent leakage. The first lower electrode 205, together with the first upper electrode 204, forms the external electrical connection basis to guide the current into the first thyristor 201. The connecting bridge 9 guides the current to the second thyristor 301.
[0032] Specifically, the second power control assembly 3 includes a second thyristor 301, a second lower clamping plate 302, and a second upper clamping plate 303. A second lower insulating sheet 307 is placed on the upper surface of the second lower clamping plate 302, and the other end of the connecting bridge 9 is placed on the upper surface of the second lower insulating sheet 307.

[0033] The second thyristor 301 is the core structure of the second power control assembly 3. The second upper clamping plate 303 and the second lower clamping plate 304 provide a limited combination basis for the internal components. The second lower insulating sheet 307 and the second upper insulating sheet 308 isolate the internal electrical components from the second lower clamping plate 302 and the second upper clamping plate 303 to prevent leakage.

[0034] Specifically, the first upper clamping plate 203 and the first lower clamping plate 202, and the second upper clamping plate 303 and the second lower clamping plate 302 are both fixed by fastening screws 11.
[0035] By tightening the screw 11, the electrical components between the first upper clamping plate 203 and the first lower clamping plate 202, and between the second upper clamping plate 303 and the second lower clamping plate 302, can be ensured to have effective electrical contact, thus avoiding the problem of loose connection.
[0036] Specifically, the upper ends of the first upper electrode 204 and the second upper electrode 304 are both integrally formed with a pressing edge, and an electrode screw 10 is screwed onto the pressing edge.
[0037] The electrode screw 10, which ensures contact during circuit connection by pressing the edge of the platform, improves the stability of the circuit connection.
[0038] Specifically, the first thyristor 201 and the second thyristor 301 have the same structure. The first thyristor 201 includes a ceramic outer cylinder 201a. The ceramic outer cylinder 201a is provided with a heat dissipation ring 201c and a heat conduction pillar 201b, which are integrally formed. The heat conduction pillars 201b are arranged in a ring array as a group, and there are two groups that are symmetrical and mutually insulated. A semiconductor chip 201d is provided in the middle of the ceramic outer cylinder 201a. The two ends of the semiconductor chip 201d are respectively attached to an upper electrode pillar 201e and a lower electrode pillar 201f.
[0039] The ceramic outer cylinder 201a protects the internal semiconductor chip 201d and provides a limited working position to ensure the contact between the upper electrode post 201e and the lower electrode post 201f. The heat-conducting post 201b effectively directs the heat from the semiconductor chip 201d to the ceramic outer cylinder 201a and the heat dissipation ring 201c and the contacting metal sheet, achieving effective heat transfer and dissipation. The semiconductor chip 201d is the main working component.
[0040] Specifically, the connecting bridge 9 includes a first end 901, a second end 902, and a connecting plate 903, all of which are integrally formed. The first end 901 and the second end 902 have a centrally symmetrical structure. A positioning groove 905 is provided on the upper surface of the second end 902. A top protrusion 906 is integrally formed in the middle of the positioning groove 905. Both sides of the connecting plate 903 are integrally formed with grid plates 904.
[0041] The first end 901 and the second end 902 can effectively match and position the first thyristor 201 and the second thyristor 301 by opening the positioning groove 905. The top protrusion 906 is set to increase the contact margin and ensure the tight contact after the overall assembly. The integrally formed grid plate 904 is set on the connecting plate 903 to further increase the heat dissipation area, so that the connecting bridge 9 can effectively perform auxiliary heat dissipation.
[0042] Specifically, the outer diameter of the heat dissipation ring is 1.1 to 1.2 times the outer diameter of the ceramic outer cylinder.
[0043] By utilizing the difference in outer diameter between the heat dissipation ring and the ceramic outer cylinder, heat dissipation is ensured while avoiding excessive overall height.
[0044] Specifically, the first upper electrode 204 has a first fin 206 integrally formed on the outer side of the vertical plate, and the second upper electrode 304 has a second fin 306 integrally formed on the outer side of the vertical plate.
[0045] The first fin 206 and the second fin 306 can effectively increase the heat dissipation area of the first upper plate and the second upper plate 304, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0046] Working principle: When in use, the device is connected to the circuit. During operation, the first thyristor 201 and the second thyristor 301 generate a large amount of heat, which then stabilizes and increases the overall temperature. The temperature rises and is transferred to the ceramic outer cylinder, guided by the heat-conducting pillars to the heat dissipation ring, and then guided by the upper and lower electrode pillars to the connecting bridge 9, the first lower electrode plate 205, and the second lower electrode plate 305. It is then guided to the first fin 206, the second fin 306, and the gate plate 904, thereby achieving synchronous heat dissipation of the heat dissipation ring, the first fin 206, the second fin 306, and the gate plate 904. This enables temperature control of the semiconductor chip and the first thyristor 201 and the second thyristor 301.
