[0030] See appendix Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a 7.5KW driver, which includes a housing, a PCB board assembly, and a heat dissipation device. The PCB board assembly includes a PCB substrate 11 and a main power heating module 12, a capacitor heating module 13, and a switching power supply heating module 14 disposed thereon. In this embodiment, the housing includes a die-cast aluminum integral mounting component 21 and an outer shell 22, and the PCB board assembly and the heat dissipation device are both disposed on the mounting component 21.

[0031] The heat dissipation device includes a main heat dissipation duct for the main power heating module 12 and a secondary heat dissipation duct for the capacitor heating module 13, as well as a main-secondary air duct switching valve 3 disposed between the main and secondary air ducts. The main-secondary air duct switching valve 3 controls the connection or closure of the main and secondary air ducts. The main-secondary air duct switching valve 3 is a valve plate 6 that is detachably inserted into the housing of the driver.

[0032] The main cooling duct is equipped with a main cooling duct heat sink 41 and a main cooling fan 42. The fan is located at one end of the main cooling duct. In this embodiment, the main cooling fan 42 is located close to the switching power supply heat-generating module 14 to help the switching power supply heat-generating module 14 dissipate heat.

[0033] The main air duct heat sink 41 and the main power heating module 12 are fully bonded together by thermal grease. It adopts aluminum profile technology and includes heat dissipation base plate and blades. The blades and base plate are integrally formed. The semi-enclosed blades effectively increase the contact area between air and heat dissipation profile, further increasing heat dissipation efficiency. It is simple to process and has a solid structure. It avoids the problems of complicated installation of insert blades and small heat dissipation area and low heat transfer efficiency of die-cast aluminum blades, and avoids the additional high mold costs.

[0034] The secondary cooling duct is formed by a plastic duct baffle 51 and the housing of the driver. A secondary cooling fan 52 is installed inside the secondary cooling duct, and the secondary cooling fan 52 is located at the end of the secondary cooling duct away from the main cooling fan 42.

[0035] The air duct baffle 51 includes a base plate 51a and a side plate 51b. The base plate 51a is set close to the PCB board of the driver. The base plate 51a is provided with multiple holes 51c for the capacitor heating module 13 on the PCB board of the driver to pass through. The side plate 51b separates the main power heating module 12 and capacitor heating module 13 on the PCB board of the driver from the other low-heating areas, which can prevent heat from being transferred to the low-heating areas.

[0036] The main and secondary air duct switching valve 3 is located between the main air duct radiator 41 and the main cooling fan 42, and the main and secondary air duct switching valve 3 is located close to the main cooling fan 42.

[0037] This embodiment balances the heat flow between the main and secondary air ducts through the main and secondary air duct switching valve 3. This allows for the satisfaction of the relationship between the heat dissipation of the main and secondary air ducts and the protection requirements of different models within the same structure. In some applications, the driver in this embodiment can be extended to higher power (e.g., 11KW). This embodiment has the following three models:

[0038] Model 1, see appendix Figure 6 As shown, there is a main cooling fan 42, a secondary cooling fan 52, and a valve plate 6. At this time, both the main air duct and the secondary air duct have a large cooling airflow.

[0039] Model 2, see appendix Figure 7 As shown, there is a main cooling fan 42, but no secondary cooling fan 52 and no valve plate 6. At this time, the main air duct has a large cooling airflow. Meanwhile, the secondary air duct is connected to the main air duct through the main-secondary air duct switching valve 3. Driven by the main cooling fan 42, it also has a certain amount of cooling airflow, which has a certain cooling effect on the secondary air duct.

[0040] Model 3, see appendix Figure 8 As shown, there is a main cooling fan 42, no secondary cooling fan 52, and a valve plate 6. At this time, the main air duct has a large cooling airflow, while the secondary air duct has no cooling airflow. This is suitable for situations where the secondary air duct does not need to be cooled. Furthermore, the gaps created by the valve plate 6 can prevent the spread of heat.

[0041] This embodiment can achieve different heat dissipation requirements by using a driver to open and close the main and secondary air duct switching valves 3 and whether or not the secondary cooling fan 52 is set, thereby reducing production costs.
