Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel boring machine frequency converter technology, specifically a circulating cooling device for tunnel boring machine frequency converters. Background Technology

[0002] The cutterhead of a tunnel boring machine is driven by multiple motors. The frequency converter that controls the motors must ensure the balance between the multiple motors under load. At the same time, the environment at the tunnel boring machine construction site is harsh and the ambient temperature is high. In addition, the frequency converter uses a lot of electronic components. In order to ensure its safety, the frequency converter needs to be cooled. The frequency converter is usually located in the frequency converter cabinet, so it is necessary to reduce the temperature inside the frequency converter cabinet.

[0003] Chinese patent CN217721824U discloses a cooling device for a tunnel boring machine frequency converter, including a cooler, an air inlet coil, a dehumidifier, and an exhaust fan. The cooler is filled with coolant; the air inlet coil is installed inside the cooler; the dehumidifier is installed between the cooler and the frequency converter cabinet, and the air inlet pipe of the dehumidifier is connected to the air outlet of the air inlet coil; the exhaust fan is installed on the frequency converter cabinet, and the air inlet of the exhaust fan is connected to the air outlet of the dehumidifier. The airflow entering the frequency converter cabinet is cooled by a cooler and dehumidified by a dehumidifier. The dry and cold airflow is then sent to the frequency converter cabinet by an exhaust fan to cool the frequency converter inside the cabinet, ensuring the normal operation of the frequency converter. As can be seen from the above patent, when cooling the frequency converter of the tunnel boring machine, a cooling fan is often used to cool the inside of the frequency converter cabinet. However, in places with high underground temperatures, the air cooling effect is not good, resulting in poor cooling effect and easily affecting the normal operation of the frequency converter. Therefore, we have proposed a circulating cooling device for the frequency converter of the tunnel boring machine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a circulating cooling device for the frequency converter of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) to solve the problem in the prior art that when cooling the TBM frequency converter, cooling fans are often used to cool the inside of the frequency converter cabinet. However, in places with high underground temperatures, the air cooling effect is not good, resulting in poor cooling effect and easily affecting the normal operation of the frequency converter.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a circulating cooling device for a tunnel boring machine frequency converter, including a fixed plate, a mounting frame fixed to the top center of the fixed plate, a cooling mechanism provided on the top of the fixed plate, and a filter cleaning mechanism provided on the top of the mounting frame;

[0006] The cooling mechanism includes a cooling pipe that passes through and is fixed to one side of the mounting frame. A pump is fixed to the inlet end of the cooling pipe, and a connecting pipe is fixed to the inlet end of the pump. A cooling box is fixed to the top of the fixing plate. Temperature-conducting sheets are uniformly fixed through the top of the cooling box. A temperature-conducting plate is fixed to the top of the temperature-conducting sheets, and a semiconductor refrigeration block is fixed to the top of the temperature-conducting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the cooling mechanism further includes a mounting bracket fixed to the inner side wall of the mounting frame, and a cooling fan is fixed to the top of the mounting bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the outlet end of the cooling pipe is fixed to one side of the inner cavity of the cooling box, and the connecting pipe is fixed to one side of the inner cavity of the cooling box to facilitate the circulation of coolant.

[0009] Preferably, an injection pipe is fixed to the top edge of the cooling tank, and a sealing plug is connected inside the injection pipe to facilitate the injection of coolant.

[0010] Preferably, the cooling fan is located at the top of the cooling pipe, and the cooling pipe is S-shaped to increase the flow path of the coolant and increase the contact area with the air.

[0011] Preferably, the filtration and cleaning mechanism includes a filter screen fixed to the top of the mounting frame by bolts, concave plates fixed to the top of both sides of the mounting frame, slide rods symmetrically fixed to the top of opposite sides of the two concave plates, sliders sliding on the outer side of the slide rods, movable plates fixed to opposite sides of the two sliders, cleaning brushes fixed to the bottom of the movable plates by bolts, a connecting seat fixed to the middle of one side of the movable plate, a drive motor fixed to the top of the fixed plate, a turntable fixed to the end of the output shaft of the drive motor, a connecting shaft fixed to the top edge of the turntable, and a connecting rod rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the connecting rod rotates inside the connecting seat, and the bottom of the cleaning brush is in contact with the top of the filter screen, which facilitates cleaning of the filter screen.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This application utilizes a cooling mechanism that activates a semiconductor refrigeration block to transfer low temperatures to a temperature-conducting plate and then to a temperature-conducting sheet, thereby cooling the coolant inside the cooling box. A pump is then activated to transport the coolant through connecting pipes to the cooling pipes, and then it flows back into the cooling box, achieving circulation. Simultaneously, the activation of a cooling fan creates negative pressure, causing the gas to pass through the cooling pipes and be cooled. The cooled air is then delivered to the inverter cabinet to cool the inverter, thus improving the cooling effect. This avoids the problem of poor cooling effect of air-cooled gas when the underground temperature is high, preventing any impact on the inverter's operation.

[0015] 2. In this application, by using the filter cleaning mechanism, when the cooling fan is started, the intake air is filtered through the filter screen to prevent impurities in the air from entering the inverter cabinet. At the same time, the drive motor is started, which drives the turntable to rotate, causing the connecting shaft to deflect. This causes the connecting rod to move the connecting seat back and forth, which in turn causes the moving plate to move the cleaning brush back and forth to clean the filter screen, preventing impurities from accumulating on the filter screen surface and preventing them from affecting the passage of air.

After cooling, the pump 340 is activated to transport the coolant through the connecting pipe 350 to the inside of cooling pipe 330 and then back into cooling box 360 to achieve circulation. At the same time, the activation of the cooling fan 320 generates negative pressure, causing the gas to pass through the cooling pipe 330 for cooling. The cooled air is then transported to the inside of the frequency converter cabinet to cool the frequency converter, thereby improving the cooling effect and preventing poor cooling effect of the air-cooled gas when the underground temperature is high, which could affect the operation of the frequency converter.
