Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of marine charging equipment, specifically to a 1180kW liquid-cooled ultra-fast marine charging pile for dock use. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electric ship technology, the demand for charging power on ships is increasing, and 1180kW-class ultra-fast charging has become a core requirement for large electric ships. Traditional marine charging piles mostly adopt a two-level topology, which has problems such as large switching losses, high output harmonics, and the need for complex filtering devices, making it difficult to adapt to high-power fast charging scenarios. At the same time, the heat dissipation problem of high-power charging modules is prominent, and air cooling is limited by heat dissipation efficiency and cannot meet the requirements of continuous high-power operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, although the three-level NPC midpoint clamping topology has been used in high-power converters, its adaptability design in the field of marine charging piles is insufficient, especially lacking protection design for the high salt spray and high humidity environment of docks. In addition, the integration of the liquid cooling system and the three-level topology module is low, resulting in the charging pile being bulky and having poor reliability. Therefore, a 1180kW ultra-fast marine charging pile for docks based on the three-level NPC topology and integrating a high-efficiency liquid cooling system is designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 1180kW liquid-cooled ultra-fast marine charging pile for docks, aiming to solve the problems of low power density, insufficient heat dissipation, high output harmonics, and poor environmental adaptability of traditional charging piles.

The interior is divided into an equipment cavity, a heat dissipation cavity, and an interface cavity. The three-level NPC charging module is located inside the device cavity and consists of four 295kW sub-modules connected in parallel. Each sub-module includes a three-level NPC topology circuit, a pre-charging circuit, and a filtering unit. The water-cooled heat dissipation system includes a water-cooled plate embedded at the bottom of the submodule, a main circulation pump, a plate heat exchanger, and an expansion tank. The water-cooled plate is provided with a serpentine flow channel with a flat circular cross-section. A charging interface assembly, disposed in the interface cavity, includes a liquid-cooled charging gun and an interface socket with an anti-misinsertion structure; The control system includes a main controller with a DSP+FPGA architecture, a sampling module, a communication module, and a protection unit.

[0023] Preferably, the protection unit of the control system 7 has a response time of ≤10μs and has overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature and insulation fault protection functions.

[0024] Preferably, the charging pile includes a cabinet 1, a three-level NPC charging module 2, a water-cooling system 3, a charging interface assembly 4, and a control system 7. The cabinet 1 is made of 316L stainless steel with an IP66 protection rating, and its interior is divided into an equipment cavity 11, a heat dissipation cavity 12, and an interface cavity 13. The three-level NPC charging module 2 consists of four 295kW sub-modules connected in parallel. Each sub-module includes a three-level NPC circuit, a pre-charging circuit, and an LC filter unit.

The control system 7 monitors the charging parameters in real time. When the ship's BMS sends a full charge signal or a fault occurs, the charging circuit is immediately cut off.
