Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of permanent magnet motor technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation structure for a permanent magnet motor frequency converter. Background Technology

[0002] A frequency converter for a permanent magnet motor is an electrical device used to regulate the motor's speed and torque by changing the frequency and voltage of the power supply. Currently, to facilitate frequency converter control, improve converter efficiency, and reduce electromagnetic interference, the frequency converter is usually installed close to the surface of the motor.

[0003] When the frequency converter is installed on the surface of the motor close to the motor, heat dissipation is mainly achieved by using aluminum profile heat sink fins and forced air cooling. However, traditional aluminum profile heat sinks have a heat accumulation effect, making it difficult for heat in the middle to dissipate. In addition, the airflow distribution in the forced air cooling system is uneven. Due to the poor design of the heat dissipation channel, heat is easily dissipated to the surroundings, which in turn aggravates the heating of the motor itself. This results in problems of low heat dissipation efficiency and poor uniformity.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose a heat dissipation structure for permanent magnet motor frequency converters. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat dissipation structure for a permanent magnet motor frequency converter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A heat dissipation structure for a permanent magnet motor frequency converter includes a heat-conducting substrate with a plurality of heat dissipation fins evenly spaced on the substrate. A continuous V-shaped heat dissipation fin is provided between adjacent heat dissipation fins. A heat dissipation channel is also formed on the surface of the heat-conducting substrate between adjacent heat dissipation fins. Side plates are symmetrically mounted on the outermost heat dissipation fins of the heat-conducting substrate, and a top plate is fixed on the side plates. A heat-reflective layer is connected to the side plates and the top plate near the heat dissipation fins. A rectangular heat dissipation channel is formed between the heat-conducting substrate, the side plates, and the top plate. A cooling fan is installed at the inlet end of the heat dissipation channel through a flow guide.

[0008] In a further embodiment, the lower surface of the thermally conductive substrate is covered with a thermally conductive silicone grease layer.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the heat dissipation channel adopts a continuous honeycomb structure.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the inlet end of the heat dissipation channel is chamfered to form a tapered guide port.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the inner top surface of the top plate is provided with slots that correspond one-to-one with the heat dissipation fins.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the air guide shroud adopts a bucket-shaped structure with one end larger than the other, and the larger end of the air guide shroud is close to the cooling fan.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the heat-reflective layer is either aluminum foil or silver plating.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention uses a heat-conducting substrate to contact the surface of the inverter's heating element for outward heat conduction. The heat dissipation fins and V-shaped heat sinks effectively increase the heat dissipation area, making it less likely for heat to concentrate in the central area of ​​the aluminum profile and thus improving heat dissipation uniformity. At the same time, the heat reflection layer concentrates the heat within the rectangular heat dissipation channel, preventing excessive dissipation and reducing the impact of heat on the motor itself. The cooling fan provides forced air cooling to the rectangular heat dissipation channel, forming a straight heat dissipation channel that directly removes heat, effectively improving heat dissipation efficiency.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 A heat dissipation structure for a permanent magnet motor frequency converter includes a heat-conducting substrate 1 for heat conduction. Specifically, the lower surface of the heat-conducting substrate 1 is covered with a thermally conductive silicone grease layer 9 to fill the gap between the surface of the frequency converter's heat-generating component and the surface of the heat-conducting substrate 1, thereby reducing thermal resistance. Several heat dissipation fins 2 are evenly distributed on the heat-conducting substrate 1 and are perpendicularly connected to the heat-conducting substrate 1. A continuous V-shaped heat dissipation fin 4 is provided between adjacent heat dissipation fins 2, and the turning point of the V-shaped heat dissipation fin 4 is fixed to the surface of the heat dissipation fin 2, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area. Heat dissipation channels 3 are also provided on the surface of the heat-conducting substrate 1 located between adjacent heat dissipation fins 2 to further increase the heat dissipation area. Specifically, the heat dissipation channels 3 adopt a continuous honeycomb structure to extend the channel length. The inlet end of the heat dissipation channels 3 is chamfered to form a tapered guide port 31 to facilitate airflow.

[0026] Side plates 5 are symmetrically mounted on the outermost heat dissipation fins 2 on the thermally conductive substrate 1, and a top plate 6 is fixed on the side plates 5. Specifically, the inner top surface of the top plate 6 has slots 61 that correspond one-to-one with the heat dissipation fins 2, so that the top of the heat dissipation fins 2 can be inserted into the slots 61 and limited. The side plates 5 and the top plate 6 are connected to the sides of the heat dissipation fins 2. Specifically, the heat reflection layer 10 is made of aluminum foil or silver plating to reflect heat and prevent heat from dissipating to the surroundings and affecting the motor. A rectangular heat dissipation channel is formed between the thermally conductive substrate 1, the side plates 5 and the top plate 6. A cooling fan 8 is installed at the inlet end of the heat dissipation channel through a guide shroud 7. Specifically, the guide shroud 7 adopts a bucket-shaped structure with one end larger than the other, and the larger end of the guide shroud 7 is close to the cooling fan 8, so that the airflow generated by the cooling fan 8 can be guided into the heat dissipation channel by the guide shroud 7.

[0027] In actual design, the air intake side of the cooling fan 8 faces the cutout on one side of the inverter housing, while the outlet side of the rectangular heat dissipation channel formed by the heat-conducting substrate 1, side plate 5 and top plate 6 faces the cutout on the other side of the inverter housing, so as to facilitate the exhaust of heat from the inverter housing. In addition, a filter screen needs to be installed outside the cutout to filter out impurities in the air.
