The biggest design challenge for the power unit lies in heat dissipation and its size. Currently, power modules only use metal casings, resulting in slightly higher costs and manufacturing processes, as well as longer assembly times, leading to higher overall costs. Furthermore, sheet metal is susceptible to corrosion in harsh environments, and numerous safety regulations must be met during the design phase, increasing design complexity and compatibility, making it difficult to meet the needs of different power ranges. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing power modules that use metal shells, resulting in slightly higher costs and manufacturing processes, longer assembly time, and higher overall costs. Furthermore, sheet metal is prone to corrosion in harsh environments and has many safety regulations to meet during the design process, which increases the design difficulty to some extent. In addition, it has poor compatibility and is difficult to meet the usage requirements of different power ranges. The present invention provides an insulated power unit module.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an insulated power unit module, including a power compartment and a capacitor compartment, which are detachably connected. The insulated power unit module also includes a first cover plate for sealing the power compartment and a second cover plate for sealing the power compartment and the capacitor compartment. The power compartment and the capacitor compartment have a disassembly and assembly structure. The power compartment includes a copper busbar assembly and a power capacitor assembly. The capacitor compartment includes an expansion capacitor assembly. The expansion capacitor assembly is connected to the power capacitor assembly through a connecting component. The bottom of the power compartment also has a heat dissipation structure. By utilizing the copper busbar and power capacitor components in the power compartment, the frequency conversion requirements of AC power can be effectively met. Furthermore, by detachably mounting the capacitor compartment onto the power compartment using a modular design, the expansion capacitor components within the capacitor compartment can effectively expand the power range compatible with this insulated power unit module, meeting the frequency conversion requirements for power ranges from 350kVA to 2600kVA. In addition, by using injection molding for the outer shell of the power compartment and capacitor compartment, as well as the first and second cover plates, the production and design costs of this insulated power unit module can be effectively reduced, and its insulation performance can be improved, thereby effectively ensuring its safety. Moreover, the heat dissipation structure allows for heat dissipation of the insulated power unit module, further improving its stability and safety during operation.

[0005] Furthermore, the disassembly and assembly structure includes a first mounting lug and a first locking part disposed on the power compartment, and a second mounting lug and a second locking part disposed on the capacitor compartment. The locking element passes through the first locking part and is locked within the second locking part, thus fixing the power compartment and the capacitor compartment together. When it is necessary to expand the power segment of the insulated power unit module, by using bolts, studs, and pins to pass through the first locking part and lock within the second locking part, the stability of the capacitor compartment mounted on the power compartment can be effectively ensured, and the expansion capacitor assembly in the capacitor compartment can be electrically connected to the power capacitor assembly in the power compartment, thereby realizing the operation of expanding the power segment of the insulated power unit module. Moreover, by using the first and second mounting lugs, the operation of connecting the power compartment and capacitor compartment to other components within the cabinet can be effectively realized, significantly improving the convenience of the connection operation.

[0006] Furthermore, the copper busbar assembly of the power compartment includes several first input copper busbars and second input copper busbars disposed on the power compartment, as well as a fuse. The first and second input copper busbars pass through the power compartment and are electrically connected to the power board. In the embodiment provided by this utility model, three first input copper busbars are disposed on the power compartment to form a first three-phase input copper busbar, and three second input copper busbars are disposed to form a second three-phase input copper busbar. By electrically connecting the first and second input copper busbars to external AC power equipment, and allowing AC power to be input to the power board through the first and second input copper busbars, the power board converts the AC power into DC power and then converts the DC power into AC power, thus realizing the frequency conversion operation of AC power. In addition, the use of fuses can effectively provide protection, thereby further ensuring the stability and safety of the insulated power unit module during operation.

[0007] Furthermore, the copper busbar assembly also includes a first output copper busbar and a second output copper busbar, which are electrically connected to the power board. The AC power converted by the power board is output from the insulated power unit module through the first and second output copper busbars and input to external devices within the cabinet, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the insulated power unit module under AC power frequency conversion operation. In addition, the power board integrates components such as IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors), and by stacking the power board and control board vertically within the power compartment, the space required for the power compartment can be effectively reduced, thus decreasing its size.

[0008] Furthermore, the power compartment also includes an optical fiber outlet and a programming port located between the first and second output copper busbars. By utilizing the optical fiber outlet and programming port, the control program can be effectively input into the control board, thereby effectively controlling the frequency conversion operation of the power board and collecting data generated by the insulated power unit module during operation, thus effectively ensuring the stability of the insulated power unit module during operation. In addition, the optical fiber outlet and programming port are sealed with rubber plugs to effectively ensure their airtightness.

[0009] Furthermore, the power capacitor assembly includes a plurality of power capacitors disposed within the power compartment, a plurality of first busbars for electrically connecting the power capacitors to the power board, and first clamps for mounting the power capacitors within the power compartment. In the embodiments provided by this utility model, by utilizing the power capacitors within the power compartment and electrically connecting the power capacitors to the power board via the first busbars, the operating requirements of a 50A power unit can be met. Simultaneously, the first clamps secure the power capacitors, effectively improving their installation stability in high-vibration environments and preventing poor contact or electrical faults due to loosening, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the entire power unit. Furthermore, in other embodiments provided by this utility model, by replacing the power capacitors with larger ones, the operating requirements of a 75A power unit can be met.

[0010] Furthermore, the first cover plate includes a top sealing plate that snaps onto the top of the power compartment and a side sealing plate that snaps onto the side of the power compartment. The heat dissipation structure includes an air inlet located at the bottom front end of the power compartment and an air outlet located at the bottom rear end of the power compartment. By snapping the top sealing plate and side sealing plate of the first cover plate onto the top and side of the power compartment respectively, the airtightness of the power compartment can be effectively ensured. Moreover, by using the air inlet to allow cold air to enter the heat dissipation structure at the bottom of the power compartment, and by allowing the hot air generated after heat exchange to be blown out of the heat dissipation structure at the bottom of the power compartment through the air outlet, the heat dissipation requirements of the insulated power unit module can be effectively met, ensuring the heat dissipation effect and improving the stability of the insulated power unit module during operation.

[0011] Furthermore, the expansion capacitor assembly includes several first expansion capacitors and a second busbar copper bus for electrically connecting the first expansion capacitors to the power capacitor. When a 100A power unit operation requirement needs to be met, the second locking part of the capacitor compartment and the first locking part of the power compartment are first locked and fixed using bolts, studs, and pins, and the capacitor compartment and power compartment are then sealed with a second cover plate, thus completing the installation of the capacitor compartment onto the power compartment. Subsequently, the first expansion capacitors in the capacitor compartment are electrically connected to the power capacitors in the power compartment using the second busbar copper bus, which can effectively improve the current handling capacity of the insulated power unit module, thereby meeting the 100A power unit operation requirement.

[0012] Furthermore, the expanded capacitor assembly also includes several second expanded capacitors and a third busbar copper bus for electrically connecting the second expanded capacitors to the first expanded capacitor. When a 150A power unit operation requirement needs to be met, by adding second expanded capacitors in the capacitor compartment and using the third busbar copper bus to electrically connect the first and second expanded capacitors, the current handling capability of the insulated power unit module can be effectively improved, thereby meeting the 150A power unit operation requirement.

[0013] Furthermore, the second cover plate is an integrated rear cover plate that snaps onto the rear ends of the power compartment and the capacitor compartment. After the second locking part of the capacitor compartment and the first locking part of the power compartment are locked and fixed using locking components such as bolts, studs, and pins, the integrated rear cover plate snaps onto the rear ends of the power compartment and the capacitor compartment, which can effectively ensure the sealing of the power compartment and the capacitor compartment and ensure the stability of the capacitor compartment installed on the power compartment.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the insulated power unit module provided by this utility model are as follows: By utilizing the copper busbar assembly and power capacitor assembly in the power compartment, the frequency conversion requirements of AC power can be effectively met. Furthermore, by detachably installing the capacitor compartment onto the power compartment using a disassembly and assembly structure, the expansion capacitor assembly within the capacitor compartment can effectively expand the power range compatible with the insulated power unit module, meeting the frequency conversion requirements of the 350kVA-2600kVA power range.
