Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] An inverter is a power regulation device composed of semiconductor devices, mainly used to convert direct current (DC) power into alternating current (AC) power. It generally consists of a boost circuit and an inverter bridge circuit. The boost circuit raises the DC voltage from the solar cells to the DC voltage required for the inverter's output control; the inverter bridge circuit then converts the boosted DC voltage into an equivalent AC voltage of the commonly used frequency.
[0003] Photovoltaic inverters generate heat during operation and require heat dissipation. This is typically achieved using heat sink fins and cooling fans, with the cooling fans mounted on a heat sink bracket.
[0004] Currently, there is a type of heat dissipation module that uses multiple fans, which consists of several fans arranged in a row with spacing on a fan bracket. However, the fans need to be installed one by one, which is very cumbersome. In addition, since the fans have an air intake and an air exhaust side, it is easy to make mistakes in the assembly direction. Utility Model Content

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.
[0034] This utility model provides an auxiliary installation device for a photovoltaic inverter fan, such as... Figures 4 to 6 As shown, it includes a fan bracket 1, which includes a bracket plate body 11. The bracket plate body 11 is provided with a plurality of loading windows 12 for mounting fans 2 one by one. The fan 2 includes a fan inlet end 21 and a fan outlet end 22.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the photovoltaic inverter fan auxiliary installation device includes an auxiliary carrier 3. The auxiliary carrier 3 has a support surface 31 for supporting the main body of the bracket plate and a fan auxiliary carrier slot 32 provided on the support surface 31 that corresponds one-to-one with the loading window 12. The bottom wall of the fan auxiliary carrier slot 32 is provided with a foolproof mechanism 4 for avoiding the fan outlet end and preventing interference with the fan inlet end.
[0036] The fan auxiliary carrier slot 32 is equipped with a fan positioning mechanism 5 for positioning the fan.
[0037] A limiting guide mechanism 6 is provided between the support surface 31 and the fan bracket 1.
[0038] Detailed implementation process and principle explanation:
[0039] When performing the rotation operation of fan 2 and fan bracket 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fans 2 are first mounted one by one in the fan auxiliary slots 32. Due to the design of the foolproof mechanism 4, it can only avoid the air outlet of the fan. When it encounters the air inlet side of the fan, it will prevent its placement, thus achieving the anti-reverse function.
[0040] When the fan 2 can be placed in the fan auxiliary carrier slot 32, the position of the fan 2 is precisely limited by the limiting guide mechanism 6, thereby ensuring its positional accuracy.
[0041] Next, as follows Figure 2 As shown, a fan bracket 1 is mounted on the support surface 31. The fan bracket 1 is precisely positioned by the limiting guide mechanism 6, thereby ensuring the precise alignment between the loading window 12 and the fan 2. At this point, the fan 2 and the fan bracket 1 can be assembled.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the fan outlet 22 includes a central shaft 221 and a plurality of structural ribs 222 arranged around the central shaft 221.
[0043] The error prevention mechanism 4 includes at least three error prevention protrusions 40 spaced apart around the central shaft 221, with any one of the error prevention protrusions located between two adjacent structural ribs 222; the error prevention protrusions 40 are relatively spaced from the fan blades at the air outlet end, and the error prevention protrusions obstruct or interfere with the fan blades and / or shaft at the air inlet end of the fan.
[0044] Specifically, the anti-mistake protrusion 40 can avoid the central shaft platform 221 and the structural rib 222, thereby meeting the mounting avoidance requirements of the fan outlet 22 and enabling it to be mounted into the fan auxiliary mounting slot 32. The anti-mistake protrusion 40 will also come into contact with the fan blades and shaft platform structure at the fan inlet end, thus preventing it from entering the fan auxiliary mounting slot 32, thereby achieving the anti-mistake effect.
[0045] Of course, this case does not restrict the location or number of the anti-mistake protrusions 40. As long as the structure meets the anti-mistake cooperation requirements, it is within the protection scope of this case.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the fan positioning mechanism 5 includes limiting guide walls 51 located on both sides of the fan auxiliary carrier slot and an arc-shaped mating surface 52 provided on the anti-foolproof protrusion for limiting and cooperating with the outer peripheral wall of the central shaft platform.
[0047] Specifically, the limiting guide wall 51 provides precise guidance for the fan in a linear direction, meeting its pre-installed positional requirements. The side wall of the auxiliary carrier is used for secondary positioning to ensure the pre-installed positional requirements of the fan 2. At this time, its central shaft can enter the central part surrounded by the anti-foolproof protrusion 40, and a stable and precise positioning is formed between the arc-shaped mating surface 52 and the outer periphery of the central shaft.
[0048] This embodiment achieves pre-alignment guidance and precise positioning of the mounted components through the clever structure of the error-proof mechanism 4 and the fan positioning mechanism 5, thus ensuring assembly accuracy and a clever structure.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, the outer periphery of the bracket plate body 11 is provided with a folded edge 110, and the limiting guide mechanism 6 includes a plurality of bracket limiting bosses 61 arranged at intervals on the support surface, and the fan auxiliary carrier slot is located between adjacent bracket limiting bosses.
[0050] Specifically, several bracket limiting bosses 61 form a supporting protrusion with several fan auxiliary slots, and the folded edge 110 is sleeved on the supporting protrusion to achieve precise mounting and positioning.
[0051] In one specific embodiment, the fan auxiliary carrier slot 32 has an exposed stripping groove 320 located between two bracket limiting bosses.
[0052] This makes it easy to unload and detach the assembly of fan 2 and fan bracket 1.
[0053] In one specific embodiment, the two ends of the support plate body 11 have a first flap 111 and a second flap 112 with different structures.
[0054] The auxiliary carrier 3 has an end face wall 33 that is limited to the first flip plate, and a bracket limiting boss 61 on the side opposite to the end face wall is provided with a mating sink 62 for limited to the second flip plate.
[0055] This satisfies the mistake-proof design requirement of preventing incorrect mounting direction.
[0056] In one specific embodiment, the outer periphery of any loading window is provided with a plurality of locking holes that penetrate the main body of the support plate; the fan inlet end and the fan outlet end are respectively provided with mating locking holes for cooperating with the locking holes.
[0057] This structure is a traditional locking structure, which has the advantages of simple molding, convenient assembly and low cost. However, this structure is prone to reverse installation. And the cost of designing a foolproof lock structure is too high. This solution meets the assembly requirements of preventing reverse installation and foolproof installation without changing the traditional locking structure.
[0058] As can be seen from the above description, this utility model meets the assembly requirements of inverter fan brackets and prevents fans from being installed backwards. It enables precise alignment and fit between the fan bracket and the fan, making the assembly process smooth and efficient. The clever combination of error-proofing and positioning design is ingenious, cost-effective, and easy to manufacture.

[0060] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
