Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a compact frequency converter with a modular heat dissipation structure, including a panel 1, a housing 3, and a cooling mechanism 2. The panel 1 is fixedly installed at the front end of the housing 3. The housing 3 has several heat dissipation holes 4 on its surface. The cooling mechanism 2 is fixedly surrounding the outside of the housing 3. The cooling mechanism 2 includes a fixing plate 6 and a heat dissipation plate 5. A cooling plate 7 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixing plate 6. The ends of the heat dissipation plate 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing plate 6, and the heat dissipation plate 5 communicates internally with the fixing plate 6 and the cooling plate 7. The cooling plate 7 diverts circulating air to continuously cool different parts of the frequency converter. The surface of the cooling plate 7 has mounting holes 8, and a semiconductor cooling chip 9 is fixedly installed inside the mounting holes 8. The semiconductor cooling chip 9 cools the circulating air. The frequency converter internally includes a main board, a display board, and a driver board.
[0027] Further improvements include a mounting pipe 13 fixedly installed at the lower end of the mounting plate 6, with the end of the mounting pipe 13 extending into the interior of the housing 3. A fan 14 is installed inside the mounting pipe, which draws air from the inverter into the mounting plate 6, thereby circulating the cooling air.
[0028] In a further improvement, the cold end of the thermoelectric cooler 9 is positioned below the mounting hole 8, and several temperature-conducting columns 12 are vertically fixed on the cold end of the thermoelectric cooler 9. The temperature-conducting columns 12 and the cold end of the thermoelectric cooler 9 cool the circulating air, thereby increasing the cooling contact surface.
[0029] Further improvements include the uniform opening of several through holes 11 on the inner wall of the heat sink 5, and the cooling holes communicating with the through holes 11 on the surface of the box 3. The diameter of the through holes 11 located below the heat sink 5 is larger than the diameter of the through holes 11 on both sides of the heat sink 5, so that most of the circulating air enters the inverter through the through holes 11 at the lower end.
[0030] In a further improvement, a filter plate 10 is installed on the upper end of the heat sink 5. Magnets 15 are provided on the surfaces of both the filter plate 10 and the heat sink 5, and the filter plate 10 and the heat sink 5 are magnetically connected by the magnets 15, which facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0031] Further improvements include filter holes 16 on the surface of the filter plate 10, several filter screens 18 installed on the inner wall of the filter holes 16, and baffles 17 fixedly connected to the ends of the filter screens 18, which filter the circulating cooling air.
[0032] Working principle: After the fan 14 is started, the fan 14 drives the air inside the frequency converter to be drawn into the fixed plate 6. The air is cooled after contacting the heat conduction column 12 and the semiconductor cooling chip 9. The air is then diverted into the heat sink 5 and then returns to the inside of the frequency converter through the through hole 11, continuously cooling the inside of the frequency converter. The air that is circulated and cooled can be filtered by the filter screen 18 after entering the heat sink 5. The filter screen 10 can be pulled out by pulling it up for easy replacement and cleaning.
[0033] The components of this utility model are: 1. Panel; 2. Cooling mechanism; 3. Box body; 4. Groove; 5. Heat sink; 6. Fixing plate; 7. Cooling plate; 8. Mounting hole; 9. Semiconductor cooling chip; 10. Filter plate; 11. Through hole; 12. Temperature guiding column; 13. Mounting pipe; 14. Fan; 15. Magnet; 16. Filter hole; 17. Baffle; 18. Filter screen. All components are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The problem solved by this utility model is that most existing compact frequency inverters use external air intake for heat dissipation during use, and the heat dissipation effect is greatly affected by the external environment. During the heating process, dust from the outside air can enter the inverter. Dust accumulation can affect the cooling effect and easily damage components within the inverter. This invention addresses this issue by combining the aforementioned components. The fan 14 draws air from inside the inverter into the fixed plate 6, where it contacts the temperature-conducting column 12 and the semiconductor cooling chip 9, cooling the circulating air. After cooling, the air is diverted to the heat sink 5, filtered by the filter plate 10 inside the heat sink 5, and then flows downwards along the heat sink 5. The cooled air returns to the inverter through the through-hole 11, continuously cooling the inverter's interior. This internal circulation cooling system improves the cooling effect, prevents dust from the outside air from entering the inverter, and enhances the inverter's safety during operation.
