[0028] Specific, install fan 10 located air inlet end plate 2 one side and capacitor 11 located air outlet end plate 3 one side in lower air duct 9, by fan 10 quickly introduce external air and pass through radiator 5 to realize radiator 5 in lower air duct 9 fast heat dissipation, and capacitor 11 has good temperature resistance, and will not produce greater influence in the process of fast heat dissipation in lower air duct 9, and capacitor 11 is at air outlet also can accelerate hot air to flow out quickly.
[0029] Meanwhile, a plurality of heat pipes 12 are embedded on the radiator 5, a plurality of silicon carbide IGBT 13 are installed on the radiator 5 along the length direction of the heat pipe 12, the heat pipe 12 and the silicon carbide IGBT 13 are located in the upper air duct 8, the heat pipe 12 accelerates the heat exchange between the heat generated by the silicon carbide IGBT 13 and the radiator 5, and the silicon carbide IGBT 13 has low heat generation, so that the heat exchange efficiency and the heat dissipation effect of the silicon carbide IGBT 13 are improved by accelerating the heat exchange, thereby avoiding the heat accumulation in the upper air duct 8, and the temperature in the upper air duct 8 can be kept in a low range, and the lower air duct 9 can be cooled by the fan 10, so that all the devices in the shell 1 can operate in a good temperature range.
[0030] Specific, a laminated busbar 14 connected to the plurality of silicon carbide IGBT 13 and the capacitor 11 is arranged in the upper air duct 8, one end of the laminated busbar 14 is connected to a direct current input module, the other end of the laminated busbar 14 is connected to an alternating current output module, the connection end of the direct current input module extends out of the air outlet end plate 3, and the connection end of the alternating current output module extends out of the air inlet end plate 2, the laminated busbar 14 is used for electrically connecting the devices, and the direct current input module and the alternating current output module are used for electrically connecting the devices outside the shell 1.
[0031] Therefore, by dividing the air ducts inside the outer casing 1 and integrating the heat generated by the internal components separately, the heat dissipation is accelerated and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved by utilizing the divided air ducts, thus achieving a good heat dissipation effect while reducing the overall size and increasing the integration of internal components.
[0032] It should be noted that the main improvements in this embodiment are in reducing the size of the entire power module, integrating and arranging internal components, and improving heat dissipation. The specific circuit control and operating logic between internal electrical components are existing technologies and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.
[0033] Specifically, a mounting hole 15 is provided on the second partition 7 to expose the capacitor 11. A bracket 16 is installed in the lower air duct 9, and the capacitor 11 is fixed on the bracket 16. The bracket 16 provides support and fixes the position of the capacitor 11, while the mounting hole 15 is used to limit the circumferential movement of the capacitor 11 to ensure the installation stability of the capacitor 11.
[0034] Meanwhile, an IGBT adapter board 17 and an absorption capacitor 18 are installed on the stacked busbar 14 to connect the silicon carbide IGBT 13. The IGBT adapter board 17 and the absorption capacitor 18 are matched to the silicon carbide IGBT 13 for operation. The heat generated by the IGBT 17 and the absorption capacitor 18 are low and can be kept at a low temperature when integrated in the upper air duct 8.
[0035] Meanwhile, a sampling board 19 is integrated on the stacked busbar 14, and a main control box 20 is installed in the upper air duct 8. A main control board 28 is installed in the main control box 20 and connected to the sampling board 19. Similarly, the sampling board 19, which does not generate much heat, is integrated in the upper air duct 8. At the same time, the main control box 20 provides heat insulation for the main control board 28 and other modules, ensuring the stability of the devices on the main control board 28.
[0036] The power module 21 is installed inside the power box 4. The power module 21 generates a lot of heat. After being insulated by the power box 4, the heat dissipation to the bottom and outside of the outer shell 1 is accelerated. The continuous airflow in the lower air duct 9 also keeps the temperature of the power box 4 low. At the same time, the heat sink 5 is in direct contact with the power box 4, which can also accelerate heat exchange, thereby maintaining the heat dissipation efficiency at the location of the power module 21.
[0037] To facilitate the protection of internal wiring and to provide a certain degree of isolation between the upper air duct 8 and the lower air duct 9, wiring holes are provided on the first partition 6, the second partition 7, the power supply box 4, and the main control box 20. A cable protection sleeve 22 is embedded in the wiring hole. After the cable passes through the cable protection sleeve 22, it is protected and avoids the risk of being worn by touching the edge of the wiring hole.
[0038] Specifically, the direct current input module includes a direct current input row 23, one end of the direct current input row 23 is connected to the laminated female row 14, and the other end of the direct current input row 23 is bent at a position extending out of the air outlet end plate 3. By extending the bent position of the direct current input row 23 out of the shell 1, the conductive connection can be facilitated. The bent position is provided with a threaded hole to facilitate wiring operation.
[0039] The alternating current output module includes a current sensor 24 mounted on the first partition plate 6, and an alternating current output row 25 is mounted on the current sensor 24. One end of the alternating current output row 25 is connected to the silicon carbide IGBT 13, and the other end extends out of the air inlet end plate 2. During alternating current output, the current sensor 24 realizes current detection, and the alternating current output row 25 realizes conductive connection and extends the end out of the shell 1. Therefore, the wiring ends of the overall module are located outside the shell 1, facilitating quick wiring operation without interfering with the internal devices of the shell 1.
[0040] Meanwhile, a filter corresponding to the fan 10 is integrated on the air inlet end plate 2, and a honeycomb hole is formed on the air outlet end plate 3 to filter the external air when it enters, avoiding too many impurities from entering the inside of the shell 1. In order to facilitate the pulling of the entire module, handles 26 are arranged on both sides of the shell 1. Meanwhile, a maintenance cover plate 27 is arranged on the shell 1 to seal the main control box 20. The maintenance cover plate 27 can be detached from the shell 1 to expose the main control box 20, facilitating the related maintenance, replacement and other operations of the main control plate 28 outside the shell 1, thereby improving the convenience.
