It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The inverter with a dustproof and waterproof structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a baffle 2, a fixing plate 3, and a closed door 4. The closed door 4 is hinged to the housing 1. The fixing plate 3 is fixedly installed on the housing 1 and has an electrical component fixing area 31. The baffle 2 is installed on the housing 1 and covers the fixing plate 3. Covers 5 are evenly arranged on both sides of the housing 1. The cover 5 has a vent 51 facing the bottom of the housing 1. A fan 6 is installed at the top of the housing 1. An exhaust port 11 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1. The fan 6 is opposite to the exhaust port 11 and directly faces the fixing plate 3. A wiring hole 12 is also provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and a wiring device 7 is installed in the wiring hole 12.
[0021] In the above embodiment, the frequency converter mainly consists of a housing 1, a baffle 2, a fixing plate 3, and a sealing door 4. The housing 1, as the main body of the entire structure, provides the necessary protective space. The sealing door 4 is connected to the housing 1 by hinges, allowing it to be easily opened or closed to meet maintenance and operation needs.
[0022] The mounting plate 3 is securely installed inside the enclosure 1, and it has an electrical component fixing area 31 for installing and fixing the core electrical components of the frequency converter. To ensure that these electrical components are protected from dust and moisture, a baffle 2 is installed inside the enclosure 1 and completely covers the mounting plate 3, forming a relatively enclosed space.
[0023] To enhance heat dissipation, a fan 6 is installed at the top of the enclosure 1, directly facing the electrical components on the mounting plate 3. During operation, the airflow generated by the fan 6 effectively removes heat from the electrical components and discharges it through the exhaust port 11 at the bottom of the enclosure 1, ensuring stable operation of the inverter. Simultaneously, baffles 5 are evenly arranged on both sides of the enclosure 1, with ventilation holes 51 positioned downwards on these baffles 5. These ventilation holes 51 allow airflow, further enhancing heat dissipation. Furthermore, because the ventilation holes 51 are located below the baffles 5, dust falling from the enclosure 1 will slide down the baffles 5 and will not enter the ventilation holes 51.
[0024] During operation, due to the action of the fan 6 and the placement of the ventilation holes 51 on both sides of the housing 1 and the exhaust hole 11 at the bottom, the moisture inside the housing 1 is discharged along the airflow, thus preventing moisture accumulation from damaging the frequency converter. At the same time, the exhaust hole 11 and the ventilation hole 51 form an airflow barrier, thereby preventing dust from entering the housing 1 from the exhaust hole 11 and the ventilation hole 51.
[0025] In addition, when the closed door 4 is opened, the air convection will generate a momentary suction inside the housing 1, which may suck in external dust. Due to the setting of the baffle 2, the sucked-in dust will be effectively blocked on the outside of the baffle 2, thereby preventing the frequency converter components on the fixed plate 3 from coming into contact with dust, ensuring the stable operation and long service life of the frequency converter.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In another embodiment, the wiring device 7 includes a card holder 71 and a terminal block 72. The card holder 71 has a card hole at its center, and the terminal block 72 is fixed in the card hole. The card holder 71 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1 by glue, and the terminal block 72 passes through the wiring hole 12.
[0027] In the above embodiment, the card holder 71 has a central locking hole, and the terminal 72 is fixedly installed in the locking hole, with a portion of the terminal 72 protruding from the outside of the card holder 71. The card holder 71 is firmly connected to the bottom of the housing 1 with adhesive, and the terminal 72 extends through the wiring hole 12 at the bottom of the housing 1. The protruding design of the terminal 72 not only facilitates connection with external cables, but the protruding part of the terminal 72 can also prevent some dust from entering the interior of the housing 1. At the same time, the adhesive forms a sealing layer during the curing process, tightly adhering to the connection between the card holder 71 and the housing 1, further enhancing the dustproof effect and ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the wiring device 7 and the interior of the housing 1.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In another embodiment, grooves 721 are evenly arranged on the outer side of the terminal 72.
[0029] In the above embodiments, the design of these grooves 721 increases the roughness of the surface of the terminal 72, improves the friction when connecting with external cables, and helps the cable to be more firmly fixed on the terminal 72, preventing poor connection or detachment due to loosening or vibration.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In another embodiment, a sealing strip 8 is provided at the junction of the housing 1 and the closed door 4.
[0031] In the above embodiment, a sealing strip 8 is provided at the contact edge between the enclosure 1 and the closed door 4. When the closed door 4 is closed, the sealing strip 8 is compressed and tightly adhered to the edge of the enclosure 1, forming a continuous sealing barrier that effectively prevents external factors such as dust and moisture from entering the enclosure 1, thus ensuring the operating environment of the frequency converter.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In another embodiment, the number of fans 6 is at least two, and they are arranged laterally to cover the top of the housing 1.
[0033] In the above embodiment, at least two fans 6 are arranged horizontally at the top of the housing 1, and these fans 6 fill the top space of the housing 1. This layout allows the airflow generated by the fans 6 to more evenly cover the electrical components on the fixed plate 3, improving heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring the stability and reliability of the frequency converter under high load operation.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In another embodiment, the baffle 2 is provided with a plurality of wiring terminals 9, each of which is independently divided by a partition plate.
[0035] In the above embodiments, this design provides each terminal 9 with its own space, avoiding mutual interference during wiring, improving the accuracy and safety of wiring, and also facilitating later maintenance and repair.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
