Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0028] Example
[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a three-proof fully enclosed frequency converter, including,
[0030] The protective assembly 100 includes a base 101, a housing 102 fixedly connected to the end of the base 101, a flange plate 103 fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 102, and a cover plate 104 fixedly connected to the side wall of the flange plate 103.
[0031] The inverter assembly 200 includes a heat sink 201 fixedly connected to the middle of the housing 102, fins 202 adapted to be installed on the side wall of the heat sink 201, an inverter host 203 fixedly connected to the middle of the heat sink 201, and an operation panel 204 adapted to be installed on the side wall of the inverter host 203. The inverter host 203 and the operation panel 204 are located inside the housing 102, and the operation panel 204 is electrically connected to the inverter host 203 via a data cable.
[0032] The base 101 serves as the fundamental support structure for the entire device, forming the first sealing structure in conjunction with the enclosure 102. The enclosure 102 provides a sealed space for the internal inverter assembly 200, is made of stainless steel, and has undergone anti-corrosion treatment. The enclosure 102 and base 101 are continuously welded together, ensuring a gapless connection. The sidewalls of the enclosure extend outwards to form flange plates 103, which are sealed to the cover plate 104 via an annular sealing groove and a weather-resistant sealing ring, forming the second sealing structure. The heat sink 201 increases the heat dissipation area of the inverter main unit 203. Fins 202 are vertically arranged on the surface of the heat sink 201, further enhancing heat exchange efficiency. Thermal grease is used to fill the space between the heat sink 201 and the bottom of the inverter main unit 203, ensuring effective heat transfer to the outside of the enclosure 102. An active air supply device can also be added externally to increase heat dissipation efficiency as needed. The operation panel 204 assists in operating the inverter main unit 203.
[0033] Specifically, the inverter assembly 200 also includes a bracket 205 fixedly connected inside the housing 102. The bracket 205 is snapped onto the outside of the inverter host 203, and the side wall of the bracket 205 has a mounting hole for use with the operation panel 204. A spring plunger 206 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the cover plate 104. The end of the spring plunger 206 extends to the side wall of the bracket 205, and the end of the spring plunger 206 is used in conjunction with the button on the side wall of the operation panel 204. An explosion-proof glass plate 207 is sealed and installed on the inside of the cover plate 104. The explosion-proof glass plate 207 is located on the outside of the bracket 205. A pressure strip 208 is snapped onto the side wall of the explosion-proof glass plate 207, and the side wall of the pressure strip 208 is bolted to the inside of the cover plate 104.
[0034] The operation panel 204 is embedded in the mounting hole of the bracket 205, which facilitates external control of the operation panel 204. The outside is covered with high-strength explosion-proof glass 207 to ensure normal operation in harsh environments. The explosion-proof glass 207 is fixed to the inside of the cover plate 104 by the pressure strip 208, which can both observe the content displayed on the panel and prevent external impact from damaging the panel.
[0035] Preferably, the inverter assembly 200 also includes a decorative plate 209 fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover plate 104. The decorative plate 209 is sleeved on the side wall of the spring plunger 206, and the decorative plate 209 has a clearance hole structure in the middle for use with the explosion-proof glass plate 207.
[0036] The decorative panel 209 is used to cover the installation area of the explosion-proof glass 207, making the device look more aesthetically pleasing and facilitating the addition of markings on the decorative panel 209 to identify the operation buttons corresponding to the spring plunger 206.
[0037] It should be noted that an explosion-proof switch 210 is installed on the side wall of the cover plate 104, and the end of the explosion-proof switch 210 extends into the interior of the enclosure 102.
[0038] The explosion-proof switch 210 on the side wall of the cover plate 104 is used to connect to the internal circuit of the enclosure 102 to achieve safe start and stop.
[0039] Preferably, the bottom of the enclosure 102 is provided with a cable outlet for use with the inverter host 203, and an insulator 211 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the enclosure 102, with the insulator 211 installed on the bottom side wall of the inverter host 203.
[0040] Among them, the insulator 211 on the inner side wall of the enclosure 102 adopts a silicone rubber umbrella skirt structure, which is used to cooperate with the cable installation of the inverter host 203.
[0041] During use, the base 101 and the enclosure 102 are double-sealed by welding and sealant (the groove on the edge of the base 101 matches the bottom flange of the enclosure 102) to prevent liquid from seeping in. The flange plate 103 and the cover plate 104 on the side wall of the enclosure 102 achieve radial sealing through an annular sealing groove and a weather-resistant sealing ring (included in the structure of the flange plate 103) to resist side water splashes and dust. The cable outlet at the bottom of the enclosure 102 is used to install explosion-proof glands and corresponding cables for easy use of the inverter host 203. The explosion-proof glass plate 207 inside the cover plate 104 is fixed by a pressure strip 208, which is bolted to the cover plate 104 to withstand internal pressure and prevent flame leakage. The heat generated by the inverter host 203 is conducted to the fins 202 through the heat sink 201 and dissipated by the surface of the enclosure 102.
[0042] The end of the spring plunger 206 on the side wall of the cover plate 104 extends to the side wall of the bracket 205 and engages with the button on the operation panel 204. Pressing the spring plunger 206 triggers the button via mechanical transmission. The explosion-proof switch 210 on the side wall of the cover plate 104 is used to connect to the internal circuit of the enclosure 102 to achieve safe start and stop.
[0043] In summary, the protective components form a triple protective barrier. The sealed connection between the base and the enclosure prevents liquid intrusion from the bottom; the sealed structure of the flange and cover plate blocks water splashes and dust from the sides; the combination of the explosion-proof glass plate and spring plunger design allows operators to set parameters and monitor status without opening the cover, while ensuring complete isolation between the internal circuitry and the external environment. The heat generated by the inverter is conducted to the fins through the heat sink and then dissipated to the external environment through the enclosure surface. Due to the fully enclosed design, the internal air forms a natural convection circulation, enhancing heat exchange efficiency. The sealed enclosure isolates the inverter from the external humid environment, reducing its impact on the inverter.
