Detailed Implementation
[0022] This utility model discloses an overload protection device for a solar inverter. The following description, in conjunction with a preferred embodiment (Embodiment 1), is shown in the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 7 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0023] See attached diagram. Figures 1 to 7 , Figures 1 to 5 The overload protection device for solar inverters is shown from different perspectives. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The partial structures of the overload protection device for the solar inverter are shown.
[0024] Example 1.
[0025] Preferably, the solar inverter overload protection device includes an inverter housing 100, which has two side plates 120 and a front plate 150, and the side plates 120 and the front plate 150 are fixedly connected, wherein:
[0026] The side plate 120 is provided with (two) heat dissipation grilles 130, which are embedded in the side plate 120 and fixedly connected to the side plate 120. The heat dissipation grille 130 is provided with several grille units 131, which are adjacent to each other to form a planar heat dissipation grille 130. Each grille unit 131 has a grille hole 134.
[0027] The side panel 120 is provided with an inclined ventilation structure 140, which is embedded in the side panel 120 and fixedly connected to the side panel 120. The inclined ventilation structure 140 is provided with a guide plate 141 and a sealing plate 142, which are fixedly connected to each other. The guide plate 141 and the sealing plate 142 together form an inclined ventilation channel 143.
[0028] The front panel 150 is provided with a thermochromic strip 151, which is fixedly connected to the front panel 150. This allows the inverter housing 100 to combine passive heat dissipation measures with active thermochromic measures, reminding operators to pay attention to the internal temperature of the inverter housing 100 and take timely measures to prevent overload when the temperature is too high.
[0029] The grid unit 131 is provided with a number of longitudinal grid bars 132 and a number of transverse grid bars 133. The longitudinal grid bars 132 and the transverse grid bars 133 are fixedly connected to form grid holes 134.
[0030] The inclined ventilation structure 140 is located between the two heat dissipation grilles 130.
[0031] The inclined ventilation structure 140 is located in the middle of the side plate 120.
[0032] The external opening of the inclined ventilation channel 143 is located at the side plate 120, and the internal opening of the inclined ventilation channel 143 is located inside the inverter housing 100. The vertical height (relative to the horizontal plane) of the external opening is lower than the vertical height (relative to the horizontal plane) of the internal opening, so that the internal airflow of the inverter housing 100 can be exchanged with the external environment through the inclined ventilation channel 143, while rainwater is difficult to flow back into the interior of the inverter housing 100 through the inclined ventilation channel 143.
[0033] The thermochromic strip 151 has a thermochromic ink layer on its outer surface. When the internal temperature of the inverter housing 100 is too high, the thermochromic ink layer can change color accordingly, thus visually reminding the operator that the solar inverter may be overloaded due to excessive temperature and needs to be dealt with in time.
[0034] The inverter housing 100 is also provided with a base plate 160, and the base plate 160 is provided with several inverter interfaces 161.
[0035] It is worth mentioning that the specific components and other technical features of the thermochromic ink involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be conventionally selected in the field and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not elaborate further.
[0036] For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
