Unless it is obvious from the language environment or otherwise stated, the same reference numbers in the drawings represent the same structure or operation.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The embodiment of the present application provides a multi-module water-cooled PWM rectifier 100. The rectifier 100 includes a cabinet 10 and an electrical structure. The cabinet 10 has a cabinet main water pipe 101; the electrical structure includes an alternating current reactor 11, a rectifying assembly 12, a chopping assembly 13 and a direct current reactor 14 connected in sequence. Among them, the aforementioned alternating current reactor 11, the aforementioned rectifying assembly 12, the aforementioned chopping assembly 13 and the aforementioned direct current reactor 14 have a first water pipe interface 21, a second water pipe interface 22, a third water pipe interface 23 and a fourth water pipe interface 24 communicating with the aforementioned cabinet main water pipe 101, the aforementioned first water pipe interface 21, the aforementioned second water pipe interface 22, the aforementioned third water pipe interface 23, the aforementioned fourth water pipe interface 24 and the aforementioned cabinet main water pipe 101 are located on the same side direction, for the cooling liquid, adjusting the temperature of the electrical structure.

[0030] It is worth noting that the rectifier 100 can use water cooling to dissipate heat from the electrical structure through the arrangement of the water pipe structure, which has higher heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, the arrangement of the water pipe position (the first water pipe interface 21, the second water pipe interface 22, the third water pipe interface 23 and the fourth water pipe interface 24 are located on the same side direction), makes the water pipe maintenance more convenient, and can effectively improve the space utilization and reduce the occupied space of the rectifier 100.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the aforementioned cabinet 10 has a first cavity 102 defined by its own structure, the aforementioned rectifying assembly 12 and the aforementioned chopping assembly 13 are arranged side by side in the aforementioned first cavity 102, and are electrically connected by a unit DC bus 19.

[0032] It is worth noting that the rectifying assembly 12 and the chopping assembly 13 are arranged side by side in the first cavity 102, which has the advantages of saving space and improving structural compactness. It can make full use of the internal space of the cavity, reduce redundant layout, and make the rectifier 100 more compact as a whole, which is conducive to efficient arrangement in limited installation space. At the same time, by connecting the rectifying assembly 12 and the chopping assembly 13 through the unit DC bus 19, the need for complex cable wiring can be reduced, the material and labor cost is reduced, and the reliability of electrical connection is improved.

[0033] In the embodiment, the outgoing line direction of the rectifier assembly 12 is the same as the outgoing line direction of the chopper assembly 13.

[0034] As shown in the figure, the rectifier assembly 12 and the chopper assembly 13 can both adopt the incoming line from below and outgoing line from above form, and then realize the unit shared DC bus through the unit DC bus 19, effectively reducing the parasitic inductance of the DC bus caused by the structural design, and improving the product performance.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 , the rectifier assembly 12 includes a rectifier shell and a rectifier element built-in the rectifier shell, and the chopper assembly 13 includes a chopper shell and a chopper element built-in the chopper shell, wherein the shape of the chopper shell is completely the same as the shape of the rectifier shell.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the shape of the chopper shell is completely the same as the shape of the rectifier shell, which is beneficial to modular design, thereby reducing production cost, and the unified shell shape supports standardized production, without the need to design and manufacture multiple shell molds for different components, significantly reducing research and manufacturing cost. In addition, during operation, if a module needs to be replaced, the unified shape of the shell can be interchanged, reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance. At the same time, it also helps to optimize the arrangement of components in the cavity, making the internal layout more orderly and the space utilization rate higher, while providing convenience for heat management and wiring.

[0037] In the embodiment, the cabinet 10 also has a second cavity 103 formed by its own structure, and the first cavity 102 and the second cavity 103 are communicated with each other along the height direction of the cabinet 10, and the AC reactor 11 and the DC reactor 14 are arranged in the second cavity 103.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the first cavity 102 and the second cavity 103 are communicated along the height direction, which fully utilizes the vertical space of the cabinet 10, and effectively reduces the overall area of the rectifier 100.

[0041] Specifically, in the embodiment, the widths of the AC reactor 11 and the three rectifier assemblies 12 are the same, and the output terminal width of the AC reactor 11 corresponds to the width position of the three rectifier assemblies 12, which can greatly shorten the distance of the first connecting copper bar 16 and effectively save costs.

[0043] Optionally, the width of the connecting terminal of the aforementioned DC reactor 14 is the same as the width of the connecting terminal of any aforementioned chopper assembly 13, and the total width of the aforementioned DC reactor 14 is the same as the total width of multiple aforementioned chopper assemblies 13.

[0044] Specifically, in the embodiment, the width of the DC reactor 14 is the same as the width of the two chopper assemblies 13, and the wiring terminals correspond one by one, effectively shortening the distance of the second connecting copper bar 17 and effectively saving costs. The current in the cabinet 10 can pass through the DC reactor 14 and then pass through the DC frame circuit breaker to output to the outside of the cabinet.

[0045] In the embodiment, the aforementioned electrical structure further comprises an input AC frame circuit breaker 15, the aforementioned input AC frame circuit breaker 15 is arranged side by side with the aforementioned AC reactor 11, and is electrically connected through a third connecting copper bar 18.

[0046] It is worth noting that the input AC frame circuit breaker 15 is arranged side by side with the AC reactor 11, so that the electrical structure layout is more compact, the internal space of the cabinet 10 is saved, and the volume of the rectifier 100 is reduced. The electrical connection between the AC frame circuit breaker 15 and the AC reactor 11 is realized through the third connecting copper bar 18, which has a short wiring path and a simple structure, further reducing the cost of the copper bar and the installation complexity. Among them, the input AC frame circuit breaker 15 as a protection device at the input end can quickly cut off the circuit in the case of overload, short circuit and the like, protecting the rectifier 100 and external equipment from damage. The side-by-side arrangement and copper bar connection method not only improve the connection reliability, but also facilitate maintenance and replacement of the frame circuit breaker during operation, improving the operation convenience.
