[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1-9 As shown, an outdoor cabinet for a high power density energy storage inverter includes a cabinet body 12. Cabinet doors are formed on the lower middle parts of both sides of the cabinet body 12, with air inlet louvers 13 formed at the bottom of the doors; and air outlet louvers 14 are formed on the cabinet body 12 above the doors. In this application, the air inlets are located at the lower end of the cabinet body 12, and the air outlets are located at the upper end of the cabinet body 12. Air enters from the lower front and rear sides and exits from the upper front and rear sides, carrying away heat from inside the cabinet.
[0025] The cabinet 12 contains an isolating switch 1, a power module 2, a centrifugal fan 4, a capacitor bank 5, a circuit breaker 7, a reactor 8, an axial flow fan 9, a reactor air guide cover 10, and an electric shock protection grid 11.
[0026] Specifically, a shockproof grid 11 and a reactor 8 are provided at the lower part of the cabinet 12. A disconnecting switch 1 and a circuit breaker 7 are installed on the shockproof grid 11. A mounting plate is provided in the middle of the cabinet 12, on which a power module 2 and a capacitor bank 5 are mounted. The power module 2 and the capacitor bank 5 are located above the disconnecting switch 1, the circuit breaker 7, and part of the reactor 8. The power module 2 is provided with several power module heat sinks 6 for heat dissipation.
[0027] The reactor 8 is connected to a reactor air guide shroud 10 above it. The reactor air guide shroud 10 includes a housing 10-6, and an air supply duct 10-5 is formed inside the housing 10-6. A mounting part 10-1 is formed at the lower end of the housing 10-6. The mounting part 10-1 is used to connect to the upper end of the reactor 8. The upper part of the mounting part 10-1 is inclined away from the capacitor cell 5 to form an inclined clearance part 10-2. The inclined clearance part 10-2 is located below the capacitor cell 5. A vertically arranged extension part 10-3 is formed above the inclined clearance part 10-2. The extension part 10-3 is located on the side of the capacitor cell 5 away from the power module 2. A window 10-4 is formed in the upper part of the extension part 10-3.
[0028] A centrifugal fan mounting frame is provided at a certain distance above the power module 2, capacitor bank 5, and reactor air guide shroud 10, forming an air cavity 3 between the power module 2, capacitor bank 5, reactor air guide shroud 10, and the centrifugal fan mounting frame. Several centrifugal fans 4 are installed on the centrifugal fan mounting frame; preferably, three centrifugal fans 4 are provided.
[0029] To accelerate the airflow within the cabinet 12, this application installs an axial flow fan 9 on the lower inner wall of the cabinet 12. The axial flow fan 9 blows air upwards at an angle, and together with three centrifugal fans 4, draws air upwards, causing the air inside the cabinet to flow rapidly.
[0030] External air enters the cabinet 12 through the louvered air inlets 13 on both sides. The air outlet on one side receives air sequentially from the circuit breaker 7, disconnector 1, power module 2, air chamber 3, and centrifugal fan 4. The air outlet on the other side has two air ducts: the first duct receives air sequentially from the capacitor bank 5, air chamber 3, and centrifugal fan 4; the second duct receives air from the reactor 8, reactor air guide shroud 10, air chamber 3, and centrifugal fan 4. This application includes an axial flow fan 9 and a reactor air guide shroud 10 inside, ensuring airflow through all components below the cabinet for cooling purposes.
[0031] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
