[0026] By placing the WiFi module 5 inside the housing, and with the wiring board on the top cover 1 of the housing, the WiFi module 5 is protected by the wiring board. The WiFi module 5 can also be installed and maintained by removing the wiring board. The WiFi module 5 has an interference signal isolation function. While ensuring the stability of the WiFi function, the WiFi module 5 is built-in, which reduces the size of the inverter and improves the convenience of use, without degrading efficiency.

[0027] The housing includes a base 6 and a top cover 1. The top cover 1 and the wiring cover 2 are placed side by side on top of the base 6. A display screen 7 is installed on the top cover 1. The top cover 1 and the wiring cover 2 are both fixed to the side wall of the base 6 by screws, making the housing detachable and facilitating the installation and maintenance of electrical components inside the housing.

[0028] The base 6 has a slot for mounting the interface board 4 on one side. Air inlet covers 8 are installed on both sides of the base 6 and the interface board 4, and the air inlet covers 8 are located at the opposite end of the base 6 and the interface board 4. The air inlet covers 8 improve the air circulation inside the shell and facilitate faster heat dissipation inside the shell. The interface board 4 is also equipped with a power switch 3, which is convenient for starting or stopping the inverter.

[0029] The connection mechanism includes a mounting plate 51, which is screwed onto the interface plate 4. The interface plate 4 has through holes for mounting the interface plate 4. The mounting plate 51 has multiple clearance holes 55, which are used to avoid other electrical components on the WiFi circuit board 52 that need to sense the external environment, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring the external environment.
