Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high voltage frequency converter technology, specifically to a high voltage frequency converter air inlet filter device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, multiple high-voltage frequency converters are used simultaneously in steelmaking processes. During the operation of these converters, the filter plays a crucial role. It effectively blocks dust, fibers, metal particles, and corrosive substances such as sulfides and chlorides from entering the converter, protecting the complex internal electronic components and circuits. This prevents dust accumulation from affecting heat dissipation, reducing component performance and lifespan, and avoids corrosive substances damaging metal parts and electronic components, thus preventing malfunctions. It also blocks moisture to a certain extent, reducing its adverse effects on components. While fulfilling its blocking function, the filter does not obstruct airflow, ensuring that cooling air smoothly enters the converter to remove heat, providing a relatively clean and dry working environment, maintaining stable operating temperature and performance, reducing equipment failure rates, and extending equipment lifespan.

[0003] However, during long-term filtration operations, the air inlet of the high-voltage frequency converter filter screen can become clogged with impurities such as plant fluff, flying insects, and dust. Therefore, the filter screen needs to be purged at least twice a month. These high-voltage frequency converters use fixed filter screen devices, but since the high-voltage frequency converters are in operation for a long time and there are few opportunities to stop, and it is strictly forbidden to open the cabinet door during normal operation, maintenance cannot be performed at any time. This causes the transformers and power units of each high-voltage frequency converter to experience high temperature alarms and shutdowns due to blocked ventilation openings, thus affecting the overall operating conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-voltage frequency converter air inlet filter device to solve the problem that high-voltage frequency converters are in a long-term working state with few opportunities for shutdown. During normal operation, it is strictly forbidden to open the cabinet door and perform maintenance at any time. As a result, the transformers and power units of the high-voltage frequency converters will cause high temperature alarms and shutdowns due to blocked ventilation openings, thus affecting the overall operating conditions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a high-voltage frequency converter air inlet filter device, including an outer frame and two filter layers. A plurality of connecting plates are provided on one side of the outer frame, and a plurality of circular through holes are opened on the connecting plates. Two strip-shaped through holes are opened on each side of the outer frame. Two strip-shaped grooves are opened on the inner sides of the upper and lower frames of the outer frame, and the two strip-shaped grooves correspond to the strip-shaped through holes respectively. A protruding strip is provided on the outer side of the upper and lower frames of each filter layer, and each protruding strip is slidably connected to the strip-shaped groove. Filter cotton is placed in each filter layer, and a handle is provided on each filter layer.

[0006] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the convex strips of the two filter layers are slid into the strip groove of the outer frame in sequence to form two layers of filter. When cleaning, first take out one filter layer and clean the filter cotton inside. Put the cleaned filter cotton into the filter layer, then slide the filter layer into the outer frame. Then take out the other filter layer and repeat the cleaning work.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the device can clean the air inlet filter of the high-voltage frequency converter without shutting down the machine, which can adapt to the needs of the fast pace of steelmaking production. It ensures that the air inlet filter can be disassembled and cleaned in a timely manner without shutting down the high-voltage frequency converter, reducing the risk of transformer and power unit high temperature alarm shutdown caused by air inlet blockage.

[0008] Option 2, a preferred option of the basic design, involves a filter layer consisting of two frames, Frame 1 and Frame 2. Frame 1 and Frame 2 are connected by a hinge on one side. Frame 1 has a latch on its movable side, and Frame 2 has a slot on its movable side. The latch and slot are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. This design, with the filter layer consisting of two hinged frames, facilitates easy cleaning and replacement of the internal filter cotton without requiring strenuous disassembly. Furthermore, it prevents damage to the filter cotton when placing clean filter cotton.

[0009] Option 3, a preferred option of Option 2, features protective netting on both frame 1 and frame 2, with the filter cotton positioned between the two nets. The protective netting protects the filter cotton inside the frame from deformation due to the suction force of the high-voltage inverter during operation.

[0010] Option four, a preferred option of the basic design, involves placing an aluminum gasket within each groove. The aluminum gasket reduces friction between the raised strip and the groove.

[0011] Option 5, the preferred option of the basic solution, features a frame, filter layer, and connecting plate all made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has high strength and is resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, making it not only resistant to the corrosion of the high-voltage frequency converter in harsh environments but also able to withstand the airflow impact at the air inlet and collisions with external objects.

[0012] Option six, an optimal choice from the basic options, uses sponge as the filter material. Sponge offers good filtration and breathability, and has low operating costs. Attached Figure Description
