Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inverter technology, and in particular to an off-grid inverter chassis. Background Technology
[0002] In the photovoltaic and energy storage industry, IP65 power supplies typically feature an inductor slot independently mounted at the bottom of the chassis, with heat dissipation achieved through potting compound. The MOSFETs are cooled by attaching to a bottom heatsink. There is no internal airflow; cooling relies solely on external heatsinks and the inductor slots. Figure 6 Its disadvantages are: 1. The inductor slot requires a separate heatsink fixed at the bottom of the chassis, increasing the overall height of the unit; 2. The MOSFET heatsink is fixed at the bottom of the chassis, increasing the overall size of the unit; 3. The MOSFET requires a separate heatsink for heat dissipation, increasing the cost; 4. The MOSFET heatsink requires one or more axial fans for airflow cooling, increasing the cost and the noise of the unit.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an off-grid inverter chassis that reduces the need for large heat sinks as in traditional methods, thereby reducing the weight and size of the entire unit. Utility Model Content

[0032] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an off-grid inverter chassis, including a bottom shell 100. The bottom shell 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a side plate 120. The side plate 120 is disposed on the top of the bottom plate 110, forming an accommodating space. The side plate 120 includes a left side plate, a front side plate, a right side plate, and a rear side plate connected in sequence. The inverter chassis also includes a top cover, which is installed on the top surface of the side plate 120 and forms a closed accommodating space. It can be installed by clips or screws. The bottom plate 110 has a vertically penetrating air inlet slot 111 on the right side and a vertically penetrating air outlet slot 112 on the left side. The air inlet slot 111 has an air inlet cover 2 on the top, and the air outlet slot 112 has an air outlet cover 3 on the top. A centrifugal fan 8 is disposed inside the air outlet cover 3. The top surface of the base plate 110 is provided with a ventilation hood 4, which connects the air inlet hood 2 and the air outlet hood 3. A transformer 7 is installed inside the ventilation hood 4, and the transformer 7 is potted with waterproof sealant. A MOS transistor is installed on the outer wall of the ventilation hood 4. An air inlet base frame 5 is provided at the bottom of the air inlet slot 111, and the air inlet base frame 5 has an air inlet 51. An air outlet base frame 6 is provided at the bottom of the air outlet slot 112, and the air outlet base frame 6 has an air outlet 61. The air inlet hood 51 and the air outlet 61 are located on the right side, and both the air inlet hood 51 and the air outlet 61 are equipped with mesh covers. Sealant is applied between the air inlet hood 2, the air outlet hood 3, and the ventilation hood 4 and the base plate 110. In this embodiment, a PCB board is provided on the top surface of the base plate 110, and the ventilation hood 4 is mounted on the PCB board. The air inlet base frame 5 and the air outlet base frame 6 provide air circulation and also support the base shell.
[0033] Specifically, this design introduces airflow from the bottom (right side) of the rear of the chassis, forming an air duct through extruded profiles, and exhausts air from the top (left side) of the rear of the chassis. Inductors and transformers (at the air duct) are potted with adhesive for heat dissipation and sealing, ensuring the entire unit meets IP65 requirements. MOSFETs are cooled by a central air duct heatsink using a centrifugal fan, characterized by low noise and high airflow, thus achieving effective heat dissipation. This design reduces the need for large heatsinks, effectively reducing the overall weight of the unit. The transformer + potting compound approach reduces the cost of inductors. The absence of a heatsink on the rear further reduces the overall size. This design breaks away from traditional IP65 designs, featuring a simple structure, excellent waterproof sealing, and superior heat dissipation.
[0034] Working principle: A PCB board is set on the base plate, and various electrical components are installed on the PCB board. Inductors, transformers and other components are located inside the ventilation hood and are treated with potting compound for waterproofing. MOSFETs are located on the outer wall of the ventilation hood. When in use, the centrifugal fan is turned on, and the gas circulates in the ventilation hood to cool the inductors and transformers. At the same time, the temperature of the ventilation hood wall panel decreases, and the MOSFETs that are in close contact with the outer wall also achieve a cooling effect.
[0035] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
