[0002] A frequency converter is a power control device that uses frequency conversion technology and microelectronics to control an AC motor by changing the frequency of the power supply to the motor. A frequency converter mainly consists of a housing and electronic components installed inside the housing, such as a control board, heat sink, and fan.

[0003] As the core equipment for motor control, frequency converters have always focused on improving efficiency, expanding applicability, and enhancing reliability. With the diversification of industrial applications, the need for a single frequency converter to be compatible with both three-phase and single-phase motors is becoming increasingly prominent. Three-phase motors are widely used in industrial fields due to their high power density and stable operation, while single-phase motors occupy an important position in civilian and small-scale industrial scenarios due to their cost advantages. Traditional frequency converters require complex hardware modifications or parameter adjustments to achieve compatibility, leading to increased costs and size. As the core component of the frequency converter, the power unit undertakes key functions such as rectification, filtering, inversion, and energy feedback. Traditional designs use a centralized architecture, integrating all power devices on the same control board, resulting in severe thermal coupling.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 9 This utility model provides a frequency converter that facilitates component assembly. It includes a chassis 1, with an internal partition 11 dividing the chassis 1 into an upper chamber 12 and a lower chamber 13. The lower chamber 13 includes a heat dissipation area 131 and a fan area 132. A three-phase frequency converter 2, a single-phase frequency converter 3, and a power input assembly 4 are connected within the heat dissipation area 131. The single-phase frequency converter 3 and the power input assembly 4 are located on the same side of the three-phase frequency converter 2. The fan area 132 faces the three-phase frequency converter 2 and the power input assembly 4. The three-phase frequency converter 2 includes a circuit board 21, a heat sink 22, and three-phase power devices 23. The circuit board 21 is fixedly connected to the partition plate 11. The three-phase power device 23 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 and extends to the upper chamber 12. The heat sink 22 is connected below the circuit board 21. The power input assembly 4 includes a power input socket 41 fixed to the side wall of the chassis 1. The power input socket 41 is connected to a power input terminal 42. The power input terminal 42 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The single-phase frequency converter assembly 3 includes a single-phase power device 31 and a positioning base plate 32 connected to each other. The positioning base plate 32 is connected to the side of the power input socket 41. The single-phase power device 31 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21.

[0029] In this technical solution, the inverter fan area 132 faces the three-phase inverter component 2 and the power input component 4, forming a forced convection heat dissipation channel, which effectively reduces the temperature of the heat sink 22, the single-phase power device 31 and the power input terminal 42. The three-phase power device 23 extends to the upper chamber 12 and is arranged in a layered manner with the heat dissipation area 131 of the lower chamber 13, avoiding the thermal coupling problem of the centralized architecture. At the same time, it makes full use of the vertical space and achieves a compact layout to minimize the volume.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fan area 132 is equipped with a fan, which is a conventional setting in the field of frequency converters. Therefore, the specific structure of the fan is not limited and is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In this embodiment, the power input component 4 serves as the unified input port of the frequency converter. Based on the circuit configuration on the circuit board 21, two of the power input terminals 42 in the power input component 4 are selected as the input power for the single-phase frequency converter. When the frequency converter is used in a three-phase or single-phase motor system, the corresponding operating mode needs to be set.

[0032] In this embodiment, the power input assembly 4 is fixedly installed on the side of the chassis 1, which can effectively shorten the wiring distance between the power input assembly 4 and the circuit board 21.

[0033] In this embodiment, the three-phase frequency converter 2, single-phase frequency converter 3, and power input component 4 in the frequency converter of this technical solution are independent and are connected to a three-phase or single-phase power supply through the power input terminal 42, so that the frequency converter drives the three-phase frequency converter 2 or the single-phase frequency converter 3. This solves the contradiction between cost, size and reliability in the three-phase / single-phase adaptation of traditional frequency converters. Moreover, the modular design means that when the power device of the frequency converter fails, there is no need to replace the whole machine, only the corresponding module needs to be replaced, which reduces maintenance costs and provides an efficient and flexible solution for industrial drive systems. It is especially suitable for application scenarios that require frequent switching of motor types or have limited space.

The two single-phase power devices 31 are arranged along the direction from the air outlet 133 to the fan area 132 and are staggered along the direction from the heat dissipation area 131 to the upper chamber 12. This layout can improve the heat dissipation performance of the single-phase power devices 31, and can achieve efficient heat dissipation even without an independent heat sink.

The adapter bus 44 is T-shaped and includes an adapter part 441 and a positioning part 442. The adapter part 441 is connected to the conductive bus 43 by fasteners.

[0038] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the partition plate 11 has a connecting slot 111 and a capacitor clearance hole 112. The three-phase power device 23 extends through the connecting slot 111 to the upper chamber 12. A capacitor 24 is connected to the circuit board 21 and the capacitor 24 is connected in the capacitor clearance hole 112.

[0039] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the chassis 1 includes a base 14 and an upper cover plate 15, a middle cover plate 16 and a lower cover plate 17 connected to the base 14.

The middle cover plate 16 has a cover plate positioning part 161 opposite to the base positioning part 142. The middle cover plate 16 is connected to the base 1 by fasteners passing through the cover plate positioning part 161 and the base positioning part 142 in sequence.

[0040] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the middle cover plate 16 is provided with an extension portion 162 on the side near the upper cover plate 15 and the lower cover plate 17. The cover plate positioning portion 161 is located on the extension portion 162.
