Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frequency converter technology, specifically to an over-temperature protection device for a fan frequency converter. Background Technology
[0002] In actual operation, the required air volume of a fan often varies depending on different operating conditions. A frequency converter can precisely adjust the fan motor speed by changing the frequency of the output power supply, thereby enabling accurate adjustment of the fan's air volume according to actual needs.
[0003] A search revealed that patent application number 202122316480.0 discloses a frequency converter with a fault protection device. The frequency converter with the fault protection device includes: a protective enclosure; the interior of the protective enclosure is divided from right to left by a second partition and a first partition into an equipment room, a frequency converter room, and a cooling room; the first partition has a plurality of first cooling slots inside, and the second partition has a plurality of second cooling slots inside; and a fan installed on one side of the protective enclosure.
[0004] Although the inverter with fault protection device connects the cooling device to the cooling hole through a pipe, allowing the cooling gas from the cooling device to enter the interior of the cooling chamber, and then the cooling gas inside the cooling chamber to enter the inverter chamber and equipment chamber for cooling, when the fan of the inverter with fault protection device draws hot air from inside the protective box through the exhaust pipe, the density of the hot air is greater than that of the cold air. The cold air entering the protective box accumulates at the bottom of the box, causing the cold air to be drawn out along with the hot air, resulting in poor cooling efficiency and increased energy consumption.
[0005] Therefore, we proposed an over-temperature protection device for wind turbine frequency converters. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an over-temperature protection device for a fan inverter, which solves the problem that when the fan in the existing device draws hot air from inside the protective box through the exhaust duct, the cold air entering from the outside is also drawn out along with the hot air, resulting in poor cooling efficiency and increased energy consumption.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a fan inverter over-temperature protection device, including a protective box, wherein the inverter body is installed inside the protective box, and a rear cover and a front cover are respectively installed on the front and rear side walls of the protective box by bolts, and a fan connected to the inverter body by a wire is fixedly installed on the back of the rear cover.
[0008] The protective box is provided with an air intake component at the top and a support component at the bottom. An exhaust hopper connected to the inner cavity of the protective box is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the protective box. An exhaust pipe is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the exhaust hopper, and a solenoid valve is installed in the middle of the exhaust pipe.
[0009] The air intake assembly includes two hollow air collection pipes, which are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the inner wall of the protective box. The inverter body is located in the middle of the two air collection pipes. The bottom surface of the air collection pipes is fixedly installed with evenly distributed air distribution pipes. The top surface of the protective box is provided with a U-shaped pipe. The two ends of the U-shaped pipe penetrate the top surface of the protective box and are fixedly installed on the top surface of the two air collection pipes respectively. The middle of the top surface of the U-shaped pipe is fixedly installed with an air intake pipe connected to the air outlet of the external cooling device.
[0010] Preferably, temperature sensors are fixedly installed in the middle of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the protective box, and a control panel is fixedly installed on the left side of the outer surface of the protective box. The temperature sensors, solenoid valves, and external cooling devices are all connected to the control panel through wires. The temperature sensors detect the temperature around the inverter body in real time and transmit the temperature data to the control panel. The control panel can then control the opening and closing of the solenoid valves and control the start and stop of the external cooling devices. This control method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0011] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the inner wall of the protective box, and L-shaped plates are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the top surface of the inverter body. The L-shaped plates are detachably installed on the side wall of the mounting plate by bolts, so as to facilitate the installation of the inverter body inside the protective box.
[0012] Preferably, the support assembly includes support rods and cross plates. The support rods are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the protective box, and the cross plates are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support rods. The protective box is supported by the support assembly.
[0013] Preferably, an observation opening is provided in the middle of the front cover, and an observation window is installed on the inner wall of the observation opening, so as to facilitate observation of the internal condition of the protective box.
[0014] This utility model provides an over-temperature protection device for a fan frequency converter. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This fan inverter over-temperature protection device connects to an external cooling device via an air intake assembly. It delivers cool air into the protective enclosure. Opening the solenoid valve allows hot air to escape while cool air is being supplied, filling the enclosure with cool air to cool the inverter itself. A temperature sensor continuously monitors the inverter's temperature, allowing for timely replenishment of cool air into the enclosure to further cool the inverter. This reduces the energy consumption of the external cooling device, promoting energy conservation and environmental protection. It also improves cooling efficiency and solves the problem in existing devices where externally supplied cool air is drawn out along with the hot air when the fan extracts heat from the enclosure through the exhaust duct, resulting in poor cooling efficiency and increased energy consumption.

[0025] Furthermore, temperature sensors 5 are fixedly installed in the middle of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the protective box 1, and a control panel 6 is fixedly installed on the left side of the outer surface of the protective box 1. The temperature sensors 5, solenoid valve 16 and external cooling device are all connected to the control panel 6 through wires.
[0026] The temperature sensor 5 detects the temperature around the inverter body 4 in real time and transmits the temperature data to the control panel 6. The control panel 6 can then control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 16 and control the start and stop of the external cooling device. This control method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] Furthermore, a mounting plate 17 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the inner wall of the protective box 1, and L-shaped plates 41 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the top surface of the inverter body 4.

Then, the cold air is discharged into both sides of the top of the protective box 1 through the air distribution pipe 32. At the same time, the solenoid valve 16 is opened. During this process, the cold air squeezes the hot air inside the protective box 1 downward, causing the hot air to be discharged through the exhaust hopper 14 and the exhaust pipe 15. The temperature sensor 5 detects the temperature around the inverter body 4. When the internal temperature of the inverter body 4 drops to the normal range, the solenoid valve 16 and the external cooling device can be closed, and the cold air is then retained inside the support component 2. When the temperature sensor 5 detects that the temperature around the support component 2 rises, the solenoid valve 16 and the external cooling device are opened again, and cold air is injected into the support component 2, and the hot air inside the support component 2 is discharged. This process is repeated to cool down the inverter body 4.
