IGBT modules, rectifier modules, and capacitors are particularly numerous and often grouped together. The capacitors used are typically large-sized to provide the required energy storage capacity, which occupies a significant amount of internal space. Furthermore, IGBT modules, rectifier modules, and capacitors are all electronic components that generate substantial heat. Therefore, how to rationally arrange these components, fully utilize the internal space of the frequency converter, and ensure reliable heat dissipation becomes a pressing issue. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a frequency converter with partitioned internal electronic components. By partitioning the components, high-heat-generating elements are concentrated on both sides of the air duct, and efficient heat dissipation is achieved by using a shared heat sink and fan assembly. This avoids heat interference, optimizes space utilization, and while ensuring heat dissipation performance, the overall layout is made more compact through structural optimization, thereby reducing the size of the frequency converter and lowering costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An internal electronic component partitioned inverter includes a housing, a control board, a drive board, an IGBT module group, a rectifier module group, a DC contactor, a capacitor bank, a heat sink, and a fan group. The housing has air inlets and outlets on its front and rear sides, respectively. The fan groups are respectively installed on the outer sides of the air inlets. The inverter is characterized by: a left-side partition and a right-side partition dividing the interior of the housing into a left-side chamber, a middle air duct, and a right-side chamber; the DC contactor and drive board are respectively fixedly installed on the outer sides of the left-side and right-side partitions and located in the left-side and right-side chambers, respectively; the heat sink is located in the air duct; the rectifier module group and IGBT module group are respectively located in the left-side and right-side chambers and are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the heat sink; the capacitor bank extends laterally through the air duct and is fixedly installed between the left-side and right-side partitions; a protective component is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, and the control board is fixedly installed on the top surface of the housing and located inside the protective component.

[0006] Furthermore, the housing includes a bottom plate, a top plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, a front side plate, and a rear side plate that are fixedly connected to each other.

[0007] Furthermore, the left and right partitions are fixedly installed on the base plate, with the upper edges of the left and right partitions abutting against the bottom surface of the top plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the air inlet assembly and the air outlet are respectively disposed on the front side panel and the rear side panel.

[0009] Furthermore, the rear side of the base plate extends outward relative to the top plate, left side plate and right side plate, and a base with a rear opening is fixedly connected to the rear side plate and the rear side of the base plate, and heat dissipation holes are provided on both sides of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the IGBT module group, rectifier module group, DC contactor and capacitor group are connected to each other via copper busbars. The input and output ends of the copper busbars are respectively fixedly connected with input terminals and output terminals.

Based on the input and output structure, the rectifier module and DC contactor are arranged in the left chamber, the drive board and IGBT module in the right chamber, and the heat sink in the central air duct. The capacitor bank is fixedly installed between the left and right side partitions, running laterally through the air duct. This allows the rectifier module and IGBT module to share a single heat sink, effectively meeting the heat dissipation needs of the high-heat-generating rectifier module, IGBT module, and capacitor bank. The dissipated heat is quickly expelled through the air duct by the fan, preventing any impact on other electronic components. Furthermore, the smaller control board is mounted on the top of the housing, enabling partitioned installation of internal electronic components. This rational layout optimizes the overall inverter structure, reduces its size, and helps lower costs. Attached Figure Description

[0031] In this utility model, the left partition 11 and the right partition 12 are respectively provided with through holes for the capacitor group 7 to pass through. The left side of the capacitor group 7 is respectively fixedly fitted with clamp group 22. The clamp group 22 is fixedly installed on the outside of the left partition 11 to realize the fixed installation of the capacitor group 7.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0033] During assembly, the DC contactor 6 and the drive board 2 are first fixedly installed on the outside of the left partition 11 and the right partition 12 respectively with screws. Then, the heat sink 8 is placed in the air duct 14, and the rectifier module group 5 and the IGBT module group 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the heat sink 8 respectively with screws.

[0034] Next, the capacitor group 7 is inserted into the through holes on the left partition 11 and the right partition 12 respectively. Then, the clamp group 22 is fitted onto the left side of the capacitor group 7 respectively, and bolts are inserted and locked with nuts. Then, the clamp group 22 is fixedly installed on the outside of the left partition 11 with screws.

[0035] Then, according to the common connection method of existing frequency converters, the copper busbar 18 is connected to the IGBT module group 4, rectifier module group 5, DC contactor 6 and capacitor group 7 respectively.

[0036] Then, connect the input terminal 19 and the output terminal 20.

[0037] Then, the top plate 102, left side plate 103, right side plate 104, front side plate 105 and rear side plate 106 are assembled with the bottom plate 101 to form the housing 1, and then the base 16 is connected so that the input terminal 19 extends from the left side plate 103 and the output terminal 20 extends from the rear side plate 106 and extends into the interior of the base 16.

This allows the rectifier module group 5 and IGBT module group 4 to share a heat sink 8. Therefore, it can well meet the heat dissipation requirements of the rectifier module group 5, IGBT module group 4 and capacitor group 7, which generate a lot of heat. The dissipated heat can be quickly discharged through the air duct 14 under the action of the airflow brought in by the fan group 9, without affecting other electronic components, such as the drive board 3 and DC contactor 6. In addition, the smaller control board 2 is installed on the top of the housing 1, thereby realizing the partitioned installation of internal electronic components.
