Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to frequency converter starting devices, and in particular to an SFC frequency converter starting device, belonging to the field of frequency converter starting technology. Background Technology
[0002] SFC is an abbreviation for Static Frequency Converter, also known as a static variable frequency starter. SFC uses power electronic devices such as thyristors to convert a fixed-frequency power supply into a variable-frequency power supply, providing variable frequency power to the motor and thus achieving soft starting and speed regulation. During the starting process, it gradually increases the output frequency, allowing the motor speed to rise smoothly and avoiding the large starting current and mechanical shock found in traditional starting methods.
[0003] It has the following advantages: 1. Reduced starting current: It can limit the starting current to a lower level, reducing the impact on the power grid and also reducing the wear of motor windings and mechanical parts. 2. Smooth speed regulation: It can achieve stepless speed regulation of the motor within a wide range to meet the speed requirements under different operating conditions. 3. Improved power factor: Through reasonable control strategies, the power factor of the device can be made higher, reducing reactive power consumption.
[0004] Variable frequency drive (VFD) components are typically installed in VFD cabinets. However, traditional VFD cabinets often rely on natural convection or simple fan installations for heat dissipation. Due to the lack of internal heat dissipation design, the airflow inside the cabinet is turbulent, making it difficult to form an efficient heat conduction path, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency for the VFD components. Even when forced convection is achieved using fans, improper airflow planning often fails to adequately cover the heat-generating components, making it difficult to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-power VFD equipment.
[0005] Furthermore, in environments with large temperature differences between day and night or high humidity, traditional frequency converter cabinets lack effective air filtration devices. When humid outside air enters the cabinet directly, condensation easily forms inside due to the temperature difference. If these condensed water droplets come into contact with the frequency converter components, they can cause short circuits, corrosion, and other malfunctions, seriously threatening equipment safety. At the same time, ordinary frequency converter cabinets lack self-cleaning functions. With increased use, the air inlet filter is easily clogged with dust and debris, further weakening ventilation and increasing the risk of equipment overheating.
[0006] Therefore, an SFC variable frequency starter is proposed. Utility Model Content

(Variable frequency drive (SFC) starters have numerous applications: 1. Power industry: used for starting large generators and for speed regulation and energy-saving operation of various motors in plant power systems. 2. Metallurgical industry: used for starting and speed regulation of large equipment such as blast furnace blowers and rolling mills. 3.

[0031] In one embodiment, the movable plate 12 is provided with a threaded groove, and the movable plate 12 is connected to the threaded rod 11 by a thread. When the motor 10 is started and the threaded rod 11 is rotated, the movable plate 12 and the protrusion structure will slide along the groove under the action of the thread.
[0032] In one embodiment, one end of the spring 14 is installed inside the movable plate 12, and the other end of the spring 14 is installed on the back of the cleaning plate 13. The spring 14 drives the cleaning plate 13 to tend to approach the water vapor adsorption filter element 4. Under the preload of the spring 14, it is ensured that the scraper 15 and the bristles 16 are in contact with the water vapor adsorption filter element 4, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0033] In one embodiment, a vertically oriented sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the frame plate 3, and protrusion structures adapted to the sliding groove are provided on both sides of the movable plate 12. The protrusion structures are slidably disposed within the sliding groove. Under the action of the thread, the movable plate 12 and the protrusion structures will slide along the sliding groove from top to bottom, which improves the stability during the sliding process and plays a guiding role.
[0034] In one embodiment, the scraper 15 is made of silicone, and the frame plate 3 is located on the right side of the mounting plate 2. Through optimized internal space layout, a highly efficient air convection heat dissipation system is constructed, effectively improving the heat dissipation performance of the frequency converter components.
[0035] In one embodiment, a grooved plate 21 is mounted on the mounting plate 2, and a T-block 22 is slidably mounted within the grooved plate 21. A rotating seat 23 is provided on the T-block 22, and a threaded sleeve 27 is rotatably mounted on the T-block 22 via the rotating seat 23. A stud 24 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 27, a pressure plate 25 is mounted on one end of the stud 24, and a comb clamp 26 is mounted on the other end of the stud 24. The position and angle of the comb clamp 26 can be quickly adjusted according to the actual placement of the frequency converter components through simple sliding of the T-block 22 and tightening of the threaded sleeve 27.
[0036] In one embodiment, the top pressure plate 25 is located on the back of the T-block 22, and the back of the top pressure plate 25 is provided with anti-slip ripples. Rotating the threaded sleeve 27, and under the action of the thread, the stud 24 and the top pressure plate 25 are moved inward, while the top pressure plate 25 applies pressure to the inner wall of the groove plate 21 and completes the limiting and fixing.
[0037] When this utility model is in operation: First, the ventilation chamber 9 is started and the internal fan blades are rotated, thereby drawing external airflow into the frame plate 3. At this time, the water vapor adsorption filter element 4 can accurately intercept and adsorb water vapor and dust in the air, thus effectively preventing condensation caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the inverter cabinet 1. The filtered air will be blown through the ventilation slot 8 to the arranged inverter elements, fully covering the heat-generating elements, improving heat dissipation efficiency, and creating a dry and clean operating environment for the internal inverter elements. When it is necessary to clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the water vapor adsorption filter element 4, the motor 10 is started and the threaded rod 11 is rotated. At this time, under the action of the thread, the moving plate 12 and the protrusion structure will slide from top to bottom along the slide groove. At this time, under the pre-tightening force of the spring 14, it can be ensured that the scraper 15 and the bristles 16 are simultaneously scraped against the water vapor adsorption filter element 4, thereby achieving a cleaning effect. Dust and impurities will fall into the ash discharge trough 17 under gravity. At this time, the slide plate 19 and baffle 20 are pulled along the guide rail 18 to expose the ash discharge trough 17 for cleaning. When adjusting the position of the comb clamp 26 according to the placement of the internal frequency conversion components, first rotate the threaded sleeve 27 and drive the stud 24 and top pressure plate 25 to move outward under the action of the thread, so that the top pressure plate 25 no longer applies top pressure to the inner wall of the trough plate 21, thereby releasing the limit of the T-block 22. At this time, the T-block 22 can be slid along the trough plate 21 and the position can be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, rotate the threaded sleeve 27 in the opposite direction and drive the stud 24 and top pressure plate 25 to move inward under the action of the thread. At the same time, the top pressure plate 25 applies pressure to the inner wall of the trough plate 21 again and completes the limit fixation. By rotating the limit plate 6, the limit of the connecting plate 5 and the water vapor adsorption filter element 4 can be released and replaced.
[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
