[0003] In the existing power conversion device, the power device is accommodated in the first cavity of the shell, the evaporator and the condenser are accommodated in the second cavity of the shell, and the evaporator and the condenser are connected through the pipeline. The evaporator accommodates the cooling working medium. The heat generated by the power device during operation can be transferred to the cooling working medium in the evaporator, the cooling working medium absorbs heat and boils to form cooling working medium in a gaseous state, the cooling working medium in a gaseous state is transferred to the condenser to release heat and condense, and the cooling working medium in a liquid state in the condenser flows back to the evaporator, thereby realizing heat dissipation of the power device through the gas-liquid two-phase circulation of the cooling working medium. However, the existing power conversion device realizes the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling working medium through gravity, which requires the condenser to be higher than the evaporator and the power device, and the evaporator and the condenser occupy a large volume, resulting in low space utilization of the power conversion device and being not conducive to the miniaturization design of the power conversion device. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a heat dissipation assembly and a power conversion device, which aims to solve the problem that the power conversion device is not conducive to miniaturization design.
[0005] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a power conversion device. The power conversion device comprises a housing, a power device, and a heat dissipation assembly. The housing comprises a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity and the second cavity are arranged apart in a first direction, the housing is provided with a connecting hole, an air inlet hole, and an air outlet hole, the connecting hole is in communication with the first cavity and the second cavity, the air inlet hole and the air outlet hole are both in communication with the second cavity, and the first direction is different from the direction of gravity. The power device is accommodated in the first cavity. The heat dissipation assembly comprises a heat sink and a working medium pump, the heat sink is accommodated in the second cavity, and the heat sink comprises a heat dissipation substrate, a plurality of condensation flat tubes, and a communication part. The heat dissipation substrate is in contact with the power device through the connecting hole and covers the connecting hole to close the first cavity. The heat dissipation substrate comprises a first chamber and a second chamber divided by a partition, the first chamber is located on the side of the second chamber close to the power device in the first direction. In the direction of gravity, the top of the partition is provided with a through hole, the first chamber is in communication with the second chamber through the through hole. The plurality of condensation flat tubes are arranged apart on the side of the heat dissipation substrate away from the power device, the plurality of condensation flat tubes are in communication with each other through the communication part, and the second chamber is in communication with the plurality of condensation flat tubes. The condensation flat tube is located between the air inlet hole and the air outlet hole. The first chamber, the second chamber, and the condensation flat tube are all used to accommodate cooling working medium for gas-liquid two-phase conversion, and the working medium pump is used to drive the cooling working medium in liquid state to flow to the first chamber.
[0006] In the above implementation, the heat generated by the power device during operation is transferred to the heat sink, and external air flow can flow into the second cavity from the air inlet, and then flow out of the second cavity from the air outlet through the heat sink, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the power device. The heat generated by the power device during operation is transferred to the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the first chamber, the cooling working medium absorbs heat and boils to form the cooling working medium in the gaseous state, the cooling working medium in the gaseous state is guided from the first chamber to the second chamber through the through hole at the top, and then flows to the connecting part through the plurality of condensation flat tubes. The cooling working medium in the gaseous state releases heat and condenses to form the cooling working medium in the liquid state, and the cooling working medium in the liquid state accumulates in the first chamber, the condensation flat tube and the connecting part under the action of gravity. The heat transferred from the power device to the cooling working medium can be transferred to the external environment through the air flow flowing through the heat sink, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the power device through the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling working medium. In the embodiment of the present application, the working medium pump can recycle the cooling working medium to ensure that the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the first chamber always has sufficient amount. In combination with the separation part, the first chamber for evaporation is isolated from other chambers, and the working medium pump can drive the cooling working medium in the liquid state from the second chamber or the connecting part to the first chamber through the working medium pump, so that the liquid level of the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the first chamber and the second chamber is controlled by the working medium pump. That is, the parameters of the working medium pump can be set according to the needs, so that the liquid level of the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the first chamber can meet the product needs. For example, when there are more power devices, the liquid level of the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the first chamber can be higher, and the liquid level of the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the first chamber can be lower, so that more power devices can be attached to the heat dissipation substrate and cooled by the cooling working medium in the first chamber. The liquid level refers to the height of the liquid medium surface in the equipment and the container.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present application integrates the functions of the evaporator and the condenser through the heat sink, which can avoid setting complex pipelines between the evaporator and the condenser by welding or bonding, is conducive to reducing the structural complexity of the heat sink, improving the structural stability and reliability of the heat sink, and reducing the volume of the heat sink. Moreover, the design of the present application combines gravity and the working medium pump to realize the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling working medium and the recycling of the cooling working medium, which is conducive to reducing the influence of gravity on the design of the heat sink, the bottom wall of the second chamber can be not higher than the bottom wall of the first chamber, the position of the power device can not be considered when setting the second chamber, and the bottom wall of the second chamber can be not higher than the power device, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the heat sink and improving the space utilization of the power conversion device. In addition, it is also convenient for the power device to be arranged more flexibly, as long as the liquid level of the first chamber can cover the power device by adjusting the working medium pump.
[0008] Further, since the working medium pump only needs to overcome the flow resistance of the cooling working medium in liquid state flowing from the second chamber or the communication portion to the first chamber through the working medium pump, the pressure head and service life requirement of the working medium pump is low, the processing cost of the working medium pump is low, which is conducive to reducing the heat dissipation cost, reducing the processing cost of the power conversion device, improving the speed of the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling working medium, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device.
[0009] In a possible implementation, in the gravity direction, the liquid level of the cooling working medium in liquid state in the first chamber is higher than the power device.
[0010] In the implementation, the design that the liquid level of the cooling working medium in liquid state in the first chamber is higher than the power device is conducive to improving the efficiency of heat generated by the power device during operation being transferred to the cooling working medium in liquid state in the first chamber, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device.
[0011] In a possible implementation, in the gravity direction, the liquid level of the cooling working medium in liquid state in the first chamber is higher than the cooling working medium in liquid state in the second chamber.
[0012] In the implementation, the working medium pump can drive more liquid working medium to flow to the first chamber, so that the liquid working medium in the first chamber is higher, thereby covering more power devices, so that more power devices contact the heat dissipation substrate and are cooled through the heat sink, thereby reducing the volume of the power converter and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

In this case, the working medium pump can stably drive the cooling working medium in a liquid state from the second chamber to the first chamber through the working medium pump through the input pipe body communicated with the second chamber, and the reliability and stability of heat dissipation of the power device are improved.
[0022] When the power conversion device is installed on a bearing surface (for example, hung on a wall surface inclined to the horizontal surface), and the second chamber is located above the communication portion in the direction of gravity, under the action of gravity, the cooling working medium in liquid state formed by heat release condensation is accumulated at the bottom of the communication portion, and a larger amount is stored at the bottom of the communication portion. In this case, the working medium pump can stably drive the cooling working medium in liquid state from the communication portion to the first chamber through the working medium pump via the input pipe body in communication with the communication portion, which is conducive to improving the reliability and stability of heat dissipation of the power device.

For example, the power conversion device 100 can convert the direct current output by the battery into alternating current to supply the motor.
[0076] As the power of the power conversion device becomes larger and larger, the heat generated by the circuit board assembly inside the power conversion device cabinet also becomes larger and larger, thereby causing the temperature inside the cabinet to rise, which is very unfavorable to the heat generating components arranged inside the cabinet. Especially for some power devices with high heat dissipation density, the failure risk of the power device is significantly increased under the influence of continuous high temperature.
[0077] In the prior art, the heat generated by the power device of the power conversion device during operation is transferred to the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the evaporator. The cooling working medium in the evaporator absorbs heat and boils, and the gaseous cooling working medium is transferred to the condenser through the pipeline. The gaseous cooling working medium is condensed in the condenser to form liquid cooling working medium, and the liquid cooling working medium flows back to the evaporator under the action of gravity through the pipeline, realizing the recycling of the cooling working medium. The air flowing into the power conversion device flows through the condenser and then flows out of the power conversion device, thereby cooling the power device. Through the gas-liquid phase conversion of the cooling working medium and the recycling of the cooling working medium, the power device can be stably cooled. However, in order to ensure that the gaseous working medium that has absorbed the heat generated by the power device during operation can flow into the condenser, and at the same time ensure that the liquid cooling working medium in the condenser can flow back to the evaporator under the action of gravity, the condenser needs to be arranged above the evaporator and the power device. The condenser, the evaporator, and the pipeline therebetween occupy a large space, resulting in low space utilization of the power conversion device, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the power conversion device.
[0078] To solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a heat dissipation assembly to replace the evaporator and the condenser to cool the power device. Not only does it simplify the structure for cooling, but also by changing the way of recycling the cooling working medium, it reduces the influence of gravity on the structure of the heat dissipation assembly, thereby reducing the volume of the heat dissipation assembly and improving the space utilization of the power conversion device, facilitating the miniaturization design of the power conversion device.

[0085] The heat sink 41 comprises a heat dissipation substrate 411, a plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 and a communication part 413. The plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 are located between the heat dissipation substrate 411 and the communication part 413. The heat dissipation substrate 411 is used to exchange heat with the power device 21. Specifically, the housing 10 is provided with a connecting hole 16 penetrating through the isolation cavity wall 13a along the X-axis direction, the connecting hole 16 communicates with the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12, the power device 21 can be fitted in the connecting hole 16, the heat dissipation substrate 411 contacts the power device 21 through the connecting hole 16, and covers the connecting hole 16 to close the first cavity 11. In other embodiments, the heat dissipation substrate 411 can also contact and be fixedly connected with the power device 21, so as to improve the structural stability between the heat dissipation substrate 411 and the power device 21, and improve the stability of heat conduction between the power device 21 and the heat dissipation substrate 411.
[0086] The heat dissipation substrate 411 comprises a first chamber 415 and a second chamber 416 divided by a partition 414. In the X-axis direction, the first chamber 415 is located on the side of the second chamber 416 close to the power device 21. In the Y-axis direction (i.e. the direction of gravity), the top of the partition 414 is provided with a through hole 4141, and the first chamber 415 communicates with the second chamber 416 through the through hole 4141. Specifically, the through hole 4141 penetrates through the partition 414 along the X-axis direction and communicates with the first chamber 415 and the second chamber 416. The plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 are located on the side of the heat dissipation substrate 411 away from the power device 21 and are arranged at intervals. Specifically, the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 are located on the side of the heat dissipation substrate 411 away from the power device 21 and are arranged at intervals. The plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 communicate with each other through the communication part 413, and the second chamber 416 communicates with the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412. The condensing flat tubes 412 are located between the air inlet hole 14 and the air outlet hole 15.
[0087] The first chamber 415, the second chamber 416 and the condensing flat tubes 412 are used to accommodate the cooling medium 41a for gas-liquid two-phase conversion. The communication part 413 can also be used to accommodate the cooling medium 41a for gas-liquid two-phase conversion. The working medium pump 42 is used to drive the cooling medium 41a in liquid state to flow to the first chamber 415. The working medium pump 42 can drive the cooling medium 41a in liquid state to flow to the first chamber 415 from the second chamber 416 or the communication part 413 through the working medium pump 42. The cooling medium 41a can be a cooling fluid including but not limited to water, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. In the embodiment of the present application, the condensing flat tubes 412 can be flat hollow plate structures for liquid medium flow. It should be understood that the condensing flat tubes 412 can also be other structural designs, which are not limited in the present application.
[0088] The heat generated by the power device 21 during operation is transferred to the heat sink 41. The external airflow can flow into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet hole 14, and then flow out of the second cavity 12 from the air outlet hole 15 through the heat sink 41, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the power device 21. The heat generated by the power device 21 during operation is transferred to the cooling medium 41a in liquid state in the first chamber 415. The cooling medium 41a absorbs heat to boil and form the cooling medium 41a in gaseous state. The cooling medium 41a in gaseous state flows to the second chamber 416 from the first chamber 415 through the through hole 4141, and then flows to the communication part 413 through the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412. The cooling medium 41a in gaseous state releases heat to condense and form the cooling medium 41a in liquid state. The cooling medium 41a in liquid state accumulates in the first chamber 415, the condensing flat tubes 412 and the communication part 413 under the action of gravity. The first fan 50 can drive the external airflow to flow into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet hole 14, and then flow out of the second cavity 12 from the air outlet hole 15 through the heat sink 41. The heat transferred from the power device 21 to the cooling medium 41a can be transferred to the external environment through the airflow flowing through the heat sink 41. Thus, the heat dissipation of the power device 21 is achieved through the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling medium 41a.
[0089] The working medium pump 42 can drive the cooling medium 41a in liquid state to flow to the first chamber 415 from the second chamber 416 or the communication part 413 through the working medium pump 42, thereby achieving recycling of the cooling medium 41a and ensuring that the cooling medium 41a in liquid state in the first chamber 415 always has sufficient amount to stably dissipate heat of the power device 21. The first fan 50 can drive the external airflow to flow into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet hole 14, and then flow out of the second cavity 12 from the air outlet hole 15 through the magnetic device 23, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the magnetic device 23. The heat generated by the electronic device 24 during operation can be transferred to the heat exchanger 60 through the second fan 70. The first fan 50 can drive the external airflow to flow into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet hole 14, and then flow out of the second cavity 12 from the air outlet hole 15 through the heat exchanger 60, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the electronic device 24.
[0090] It can be seen that the power conversion device 100 provided by the application replaces the existing evaporator and condenser for dissipating heat from the power device 21 by the heat sink 41 and the working medium pump 42, integrates the functions of the evaporator and the condenser by the heat sink 41, avoids setting a complex pipeline, simplifies the structure of the heat sink 41, is conducive to reducing the volume of the heat sink 41, and is conducive to reducing the space occupancy of the heat sink 41; moreover, the working medium pump 42 applies a driving force to the liquid cooling medium 41a, so that the liquid cooling medium 41a formed by heat release and condensation can supplement the liquid cooling medium 41a in the first chamber 415, realizes the recycling of the cooling medium 41a, and then realizes the stable heat dissipation of the power device 21, reduces the influence of gravity on the design of the heat sink 41, is conducive to reducing the volume of the heat sink 41, is conducive to improving the space utilization of the power conversion device 100, and facilitates the miniaturization design of the power conversion device 100.
[0091] Based on the above-mentioned concept of recycling the cooling medium 41a by the working medium pump 42, the working medium pump 42 can only drive the liquid cooling medium 41a formed by heat release and condensation to flow to the first chamber 415, and the installation mode between the working medium pump 42 and the heat sink 41 can be various, for example, the working medium pump 42 can be located outside the heat sink 41, wherein the working medium pump 42 can be above, beside, below, above the side or other positions of the heat sink 41; the working medium pump 42 can also be located inside the heat sink 41, and the like, which is not limited by the application. The following is exemplarily described in multiple embodiments.
[0092] Please refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, and combine FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, FIG. 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the heat dissipation assembly 30 (omitting the first fan 50, the heat exchanger 60 and the second fan 70) of the power conversion device 100 shown in FIG. 3 cooperating with the power device 21.

FIG. 11 is a structural schematic diagram of the power conversion device 100 shown in FIG. 3 along the D-D line. It should be noted that the dashed box in FIG. 7 schematically indicates the position of the power device 21.
[0093] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the communication part 413 includes a flow cavity 4130 for accommodating the cooling medium 41a used for gas-liquid phase conversion. The communication part 413 is located on the side of the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 away from the power device 21, and is fixedly connected with the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412. The flow cavity 4130 is in communication with the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412. The plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 are in communication with each other through the flow cavity 4130. The communication part 413 is located on the side of the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 away from the heat dissipation base plate 411. The design that the communication part 413 is fixedly connected with the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 is conducive to improving the stability of the interval arrangement of the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412, and is conducive to improving the structural stability and reliability of the heat dissipation device 41.
[0094] Further, the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 are sequentially and interval arranged along the Z-axis direction (i.e. the second direction) to form the ventilation holes 4120. The ventilation holes 4120 extend along the Y-axis direction. For example, the number of the condensing flat tubes 412 is 3. The 3 condensing flat tubes 412 are sequentially and interval arranged along the Z-axis direction to form 3 ventilation holes 4120. In some other embodiments, the number of the condensing flat tubes 412 can also be 2, 4 or more. The external airflow can flow into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet hole 14, then flow through the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 from the air outlet hole 15 to flow out of the second cavity 12, so as to transfer the heat generated by the power device 21 during operation to the external environment. The design that the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 are sequentially and interval arranged along the second direction to form the ventilation holes 4120 is conducive to improving the contact area of the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 with the external airflow, and is conducive to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device 21. Moreover, the structure is simple and stable, and is convenient for design, which is conducive to reducing the processing cost of the heat dissipation device 41.
[0095] In this embodiment, the condensing flat tubes 412 are located between the air inlet hole 14 and the air outlet hole 15 in the direction of gravity (i.e. the Y-axis direction). The design of locating the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 between the air inlet hole 14 and the air outlet hole 15 in the direction of gravity facilitates reducing the flow resistance of the external airflow flowing into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet hole 14 through the ventilation holes 4120 and passing through the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412, and facilitates improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 and the power device 21. Specifically, the air inlet hole 14 penetrates the second cavity wall 13c along the Y-axis direction. The air outlet hole 15 penetrates the second cavity wall 13c along the X-axis direction. In the direction of gravity (i.e. the Y-axis direction), the air inlet hole 14 is located below the condensing flat tubes 412, and the air outlet hole 15 is located above the condensing flat tubes 412. In the X-axis direction, the air outlet hole 15 is located on the side of the second cavity 12 away from the isolation cavity wall 13a. Thus, the external airflow flows into the second cavity 12 from the bottom of the power conversion device 100, and then flows out from the back of the power conversion device 100 after passing through the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412, avoiding the external airflow flowing out from the top of the power conversion device 100, avoiding foreign matter (such as fallen leaves or dust, etc.) blocking the air outlet hole 15, ensuring that the external airflow can flow smoothly, and facilitating improving the heat dissipation effect of the condensing flat tubes 412.
[0096] In some embodiments, the projection of the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412 in the direction of gravity and the projection of the air inlet hole 14 in the direction of gravity overlap, so as to increase the heat dissipation area of the condensing flat tubes 412 and the external airflow, and further improve the heat dissipation efficiency. Of course, the projection of the air inlet hole 14 in the direction of gravity can also cover more parts of the heat sink 41 to further increase the heat dissipation area.
[0097] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, each condensing flat tube 412 can include a plurality of flow channels 4121 extending along the first direction, adjacent flow channels are separated by baffles 4122, and the plurality of flow channels 4121 are in communication with the second cavity 416 and the communication part 413. Specifically, the plurality of flow channels 4121 are in communication between the second cavity 416 and the flow-through cavity 4130, and the plurality of flow channels 4121 are arranged in sequence along the Y-axis direction. Dividing the condensing flat tube 412 into a plurality of flow channels 4121 can uniformly distribute the pressure generated by the gaseous working medium in each flow channel 4121, and the baffles 4122 can also withstand a certain pressure, avoiding the problem of bulging, making the stability of the entire condensing flat tube 412 better, and facilitating improving the structural stability and reliability of the heat sink 41.
[0098] In some embodiments, the working fluid pump 42 is located outside the heat sink 41, and the working fluid pump 42 includes an inlet 421 and an outlet 422. The heat dissipation assembly 30 (i.e., the power conversion device 100) further includes an input pipe 43 and an output pipe 44. The inlet 421 of the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the second chamber 416 or the communication portion 413 through the input pipe 43, and the outlet 422 of the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the first chamber 415 through the output pipe 44. The working fluid pump 42 is located outside the heat sink 41, the inlet 421 of the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the second chamber 416 or the communication portion 413 through the input pipe 43, and the outlet 422 of the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the first chamber 415 through the output pipe 44. This design facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the working fluid pump 42, reduces the maintenance cost of the heat sink 41, and reduces the maintenance cost of the power conversion device 100.
[0099] Further, the heat sink 41 is provided with an input pipe mounting hole 417 and an output pipe mounting hole 418. In the gravity direction, the input pipe mounting hole 417 is located below the second chamber 416 or the communication portion 413, and the output pipe mounting hole 418 is located below the first chamber 415. The working fluid pump 42 is located below the heat sink 41. The input pipe 43 is inserted into the input pipe mounting hole 417, and the output pipe 44 is inserted into the output pipe mounting hole 418.
[0100] As shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, in the specific embodiments shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, in the gravity direction, the input pipe mounting hole 417 is located below the second chamber 416, and the output pipe mounting hole 418 is located below the first chamber 415. The input pipe 43 is inserted into the input pipe mounting hole 417, the inlet 421 of the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the second chamber 416 through the input pipe 43, and the output pipe 44 is inserted into the output pipe mounting hole 418. The outlet 422 of the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the first chamber 415 through the output pipe 44.
[0101] Specifically, the heat dissipation base plate 411 includes a first connecting wall 4111, a second connecting wall 4112, a third connecting wall 4113, a fourth connecting wall 4114, and two fifth connecting walls 4115.

Among them, in the X-axis direction, the first connecting wall 4111 and the second connecting wall 4112 are oppositely and spacedly arranged. In the Y-axis direction (i.e. the direction of gravity), the third connecting wall 4113 and the fourth connecting wall 4114 are oppositely and spacedly arranged and located above the fourth connecting wall 4114. In the Z-axis direction, the two fifth connecting walls 4115 are oppositely and spacedly arranged. A partition is arranged between the fourth connecting wall 4114 and the third connecting wall 4113 to divide the inner cavity of the heat dissipation base plate 411 into a first chamber 415 and a second chamber 416. An input pipe body mounting hole 417 penetrates the fourth connecting wall 4114 in the Y-axis direction and communicates with the second chamber 416. An output pipe body mounting hole 418 penetrates the fourth connecting wall 4114 in the Y-axis direction and communicates with the second chamber 416. The axis of the input pipe body mounting hole 417 and the axis of the output pipe body mounting hole 418 can be parallel to the Y-axis direction or can be arranged obliquely relative to the Y-axis direction. The input pipe body 43 communicates with the second chamber 416 and the inlet 421. The output pipe body 44 communicates with the first chamber 415 and the outlet 422.
[0102] The design that the inlet 421 of the working medium pump 42 communicates with the second chamber 416 through the input pipe body 43 is beneficial to reduce the structural complexity and length of the input pipe body 43, reduce the material cost of the heat sink 41, reduce the structural complexity of the heat sink 41, improve the structural reliability of the heat sink 41, improve the efficiency of the cooling working medium 41a flowing from the second chamber 416 to the first chamber 415 through the working medium pump 42, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device 21.
[0103] In some other embodiments, the input pipe body mounting hole 417 can also be located below the flow passage cavity 4130 (i.e., the communication part 413) in the direction of gravity, the input pipe body 43 is mounted in the input pipe body mounting hole 417, and the inlet 421 of the working medium pump 42 communicates with the flow passage cavity 4130 (i.e., the communication part 413) through the input pipe body 43. For example, the communication part 413 can include the first fitting wall 4131, the second fitting wall 4132, the third fitting wall 4133, the fourth fitting wall 4134, and two fifth fitting walls 4135 that enclose the flow passage cavity 4130. Among them, in the X-axis direction, the first fitting wall 4131 and the second fitting wall 4132 are oppositely and spacedly arranged. In the Y-axis direction, the third fitting wall 4133 and the fourth fitting wall 4134 are oppositely and spacedly arranged and located above the fourth fitting wall 4134. In the Z-axis direction, the two fifth fitting walls 4135 are oppositely and spacedly arranged. The output pipe body mounting hole 418 penetrates the fourth fitting wall 4134 along the Y-axis direction and communicates with the flow passage cavity 4130. The axis of the input pipe body mounting hole 417 and the axis of the output pipe body mounting hole 418 can be parallel to the Y-axis direction or can be arranged obliquely relative to the Y-axis direction. The input pipe body 43 communicates with the flow passage cavity 4130 (i.e., the communication part 413) and the inlet 421. The connection mode of the working medium pump 42 and the heat sink 41 through the input pipe body 43 is various, which can be designed according to the needs, and is beneficial to reduce the installation cost of the heat sink 41 and the working medium pump 42.
[0104] The liquid cooling working medium 41a formed by heat release condensation is accumulated at the bottom of the first chamber 415, the bottom of the second chamber 416, the bottom of the condensation flat tube 412, and the bottom of the communication part 413 under the action of gravity. The design that the working medium pump 42 is located below the heat sink 41 is beneficial to reduce the structural complexity and length of the input pipe body 43 that communicates with the second chamber 416 (or the communication part 413) and the inlet 421 of the working medium pump 42, reduce the structural complexity and length of the output pipe body 44 that communicates with the first chamber 415 and the outlet 422 of the working medium pump 42, reduce the material cost of the heat sink 41, reduce the structural complexity of the heat sink 41, and improve the structural reliability of the heat sink 41.
[0105] In addition, the power conversion device 100 can be installed on various bearing surfaces, and the design that the inlet 421 of the working medium pump 42 communicates with the second chamber 416 or the communication part 413 through the input pipe body 43 can adapt to various installation scenes of the power conversion device 100. For specific details, refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10, which exemplarily list the installation scenes of the power conversion device 100 installed on various bearing surfaces.
[0106] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the second chamber 416 through the input pipe 43. When the power conversion device 100 is installed on a bearing surface (for example, hung on a wall surface perpendicular to the horizontal surface), the first direction (i.e., the X-axis direction) is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and under the action of gravity, the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state formed by heat release and condensation can accumulate at the bottom of the second chamber 416 and have a larger amount at the bottom of the second chamber 416. In this case, the working fluid pump 42 can stably drive the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state from the second chamber 416 to the first chamber 415 through the working fluid pump 42 via the input pipe 43 in communication with the second chamber 416, which is conducive to improving the reliability and stability of heat dissipation of the power device 21. Moreover, in this case, under the action of gravity, the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state formed by heat release and condensation can also accumulate at the bottom of the communication part 413 (i.e., the bottom of the flow-through cavity 4130), and have a larger amount at the bottom of the communication part 413 (i.e., the bottom of the flow-through cavity 4130). At this time, if the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the communication part 413 through the input pipe 43, the working fluid pump 42 can also stably drive the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state from the communication part 413 to the first chamber 415 through the working fluid pump 42 via the input pipe 43 in communication with the communication part 413, which is also conducive to improving the reliability and stability of heat dissipation of the power device 21.
[0107] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the second chamber 416 through the input pipe 43. When the power conversion device 100 is installed on a bearing surface (for example, hung on a wall surface inclined to the horizontal surface), the second chamber 416 is below the communication part 413 in the direction of gravity, and under the action of gravity, the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state formed by heat release and condensation can accumulate at the bottom of the second chamber 416 and have a larger amount at the bottom of the second chamber 416. In this case, the working fluid pump 42 can stably drive the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state from the second chamber 416 to the first chamber 415 through the working fluid pump 42 via the input pipe 43 in communication with the second chamber 416, which is conducive to improving the reliability and stability of heat dissipation of the power device 21.
[0108] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the second chamber 416 through the input pipe 43. When the power conversion device 100 is installed on a bearing surface (for example, hung on a wall surface inclined to the horizontal plane), the second chamber 416 is located above the communication portion 413 in the direction of gravity, the first direction is inclined to the horizontal plane, and the angle θ between the first direction and the horizontal plane is less than 30°. Under the action of gravity, the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state formed by heat release and condensation can accumulate at the bottom of the second chamber 416 and exist in a larger amount at the bottom of the second chamber 416. In this case, the working fluid pump 42 can stably drive the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state from the second chamber 416 to the first chamber 415 through the working fluid pump 42 via the input pipe 43 in communication with the second chamber 416, which is conducive to improving the reliability and stability of heat dissipation of the power device 21.
[0109] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the working fluid pump 42 is in communication with the communication portion 413 through the input pipe 43. When the power conversion device 100 is installed on a bearing surface (for example, hung on a wall surface inclined to the horizontal plane), the second chamber 416 is located above the communication portion 413 in the direction of gravity. Under the action of gravity, the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state formed by heat release and condensation accumulates at the bottom of the communication portion 413 and exists in a larger amount at the bottom of the communication portion 413. The first direction is arranged to be inclined to the horizontal plane. For example, the angle θ between the first direction and the horizontal plane is greater than 30°, and in some other embodiments, the angle θ between the first direction and the horizontal plane can also be less than or equal to 30°. In this case, the working fluid pump 42 can stably drive the cooling working fluid 41a in liquid state from the communication portion 413 to the first chamber 415 through the working fluid pump 42 via the input pipe 43 in communication with the communication portion 413, which is conducive to improving the reliability and stability of heat dissipation of the power device 21.
[0110] In the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the direction of gravity, the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415 is higher than the power device 21. The design that the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415 is higher than the power device 21 is beneficial to improve the efficiency of transferring the heat generated by the power device 21 when working to the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415, and is beneficial to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device 21. For example, the number of power devices 21 is multiple, the number of connecting holes 16 is multiple, the multiple connecting holes 16 correspond to the multiple power devices 21 one by one, the heat dissipation substrate 411 contacts each power device 21 through the corresponding connecting hole 16 and covers the corresponding connecting hole 16 to close the first cavity 11. Among them, the multiple power devices 21 can include two first power devices 21a and two second power devices 21b, and the two first power devices 21a are sequentially and spaced apart in the Y-axis direction. In the Z-axis direction, the two second power devices 21b are located on one side of the two first power devices 21a. In the Y-axis direction, the two second power devices 21b are sequentially and spaced apart. In the direction of gravity, the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415 is higher than each power device 21.
[0111] Further, in the direction of gravity, the liquid level of the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the first chamber is higher than the cooling working medium in the liquid state in the second chamber. In this way, the working medium pump can drive the liquid working medium to flow more to the first chamber, so that the liquid working medium in the first chamber is higher, so that more power devices can be covered, so that more power devices are in contact with the heat dissipation substrate and are cooled through the heat sink, thereby reducing the volume of the power converter and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0112] In the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the projection of the through hole 4141 in the first direction is located above the projection of the power device 21 in the first direction. In the direction of gravity, the projection of the through hole 4141 in the first direction is located above the projection of the power device 21 in the first direction. In the process of driving the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415 to be higher than the power device 21, the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415 is prevented from flowing from the through hole 4141 to the second chamber 416, which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of driving the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415 to be higher than the power device 21, and is beneficial to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device 21.
[0113] In some embodiments, the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the second chamber 416, the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the condensing flat tubes 412, and the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the communication portion 413 are all lower than the power device 21. In this way, more gaseous cooling working medium 41a can be accommodated in the second chamber 416, the condensing flat tubes 412, and the communication portion 413, which is conducive to increasing the rate of the gaseous cooling working medium 41a flowing from the through hole 4141 into the second chamber 416, and is conducive to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device 21.
[0114] As shown in FIG. 3, the air inlet side of the first fan 50 faces the air inlet hole 14. In the Y-axis direction, the first fan 50 can be located on the side of the heat sink 41 facing or away from the air inlet hole 14. Specifically, in the Y-axis direction, the first fan 50 is located on the side of the condensing flat tubes 412 facing the air inlet hole 14. The first fan 50 can drive the flow of air to form a heat dissipation wind. The first fan 50 can drive the heat dissipation wind to flow into the second chamber 12 from the air inlet hole 14, and then flow out of the second chamber 12 from the air outlet hole 15 through the heat sink 41.
[0115] In some embodiments, the projection of the first fan 50 in the Y-axis direction overlaps the projection of the air inlet hole 14 in the Y-axis direction. Such a design is conducive to reducing the flow resistance of the heat dissipation wind flowing through the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412, increasing the air volume of the heat dissipation wind flowing through the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation wind on the plurality of condensing flat tubes 412, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device 21.
[0116] In the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the heat generated by the power device 21 during operation is transferred to the heat sink 41, and external air flow can flow into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet 14, and then flow out of the second cavity 12 from the air outlet 15 through the heat sink 41, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the power device 21. Among them, the heat generated by the power device 21 during operation is transferred to the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415, and the cooling working medium 41a absorbs heat and boils to form the cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state, and the cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state flows from the first chamber 415 to the second chamber 416 through the through hole 4141, and then flows to the communication part 413 through the plurality of condensation flat tubes 412. The cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state releases heat and condenses to form the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state, and the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state accumulates in the first chamber 415, the condensation flat tube 412 and the communication part 413 under the action of gravity. The heat transferred by the power device 21 to the cooling working medium 41a can be transferred to the external environment through the air flow flowing through the heat sink 41, so as to achieve heat dissipation of the power device 21 through the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling working medium 41a. The working medium pump 42 can drive the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state to flow from the second chamber 416 or the communication part 413 to the first chamber 415 through the working medium pump 42, thereby realizing the recycling of the cooling working medium 41a, and ensuring that the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the first chamber 415 always has sufficient amount, so as to stably dissipate heat of the power device 21. The design of the through hole 4141 provided at the top of the partition part 414 not only plays a guiding role for the cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state flowing from the first chamber 415 to the second chamber 416, but also is beneficial to improve the efficiency of the cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state flowing from the first chamber 415 to the second chamber 416, and is beneficial to improve the efficiency of heat dissipation of the power device 21.
[0117] Compared with the prior art, the radiator 41 integrates the functions of the evaporator and the condenser, so that the complex pipeline between the evaporator and the condenser can be avoided by welding or bonding, which is conducive to reducing the structural complexity of the radiator 41, improving the structural stability and reliability of the radiator 41, reducing the volume of the radiator 41, and facilitating the miniaturization design of the power conversion device 100. Moreover, the design of the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling working medium 41a and the recycling of the cooling working medium 41a in the application by combining gravity and the working medium pump 42 can reduce the influence of gravity on the design of the radiator 41, the bottom wall of the second chamber 416 can be not higher than the bottom wall of the first chamber 415, the second chamber 416 can be arranged without considering the position of the power device 21, and the bottom wall of the second chamber 416 can be not higher than the power device 21, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the radiator 41, improving the space utilization of the power conversion device 100, and facilitating the miniaturization design of the power conversion device 100. In addition, it is not only conducive to reducing the design difficulty of the radiator 41 and reducing the processing cost of the radiator 41, but also facilitates the flexible arrangement of the power device 21, reduces the installation difficulty of the power device 21 and the radiator 41, and reduces the processing cost of the power conversion device 100.
[0118] In addition, since the working medium pump 42 only needs to overcome the flow resistance of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state flowing from the second chamber 416 or the communication part 413 to the first chamber 415 through the working medium pump 42, the pressure head and service life requirements of the working medium pump 42 are low, the processing cost of the working medium pump 42 is low, the cooling cost is reduced, the processing cost of the power conversion device 100 is reduced, the speed of the gas-liquid two-phase conversion of the cooling working medium 41a is improved, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the power device 21 is improved.
[0119] In some embodiments, the working medium pump 42 also has a speed regulation function. Specifically, the working medium pump 42 is driven by a motor. By controlling the speed of the motor, the operating speed of the working medium pump 42 can be controlled to control the rate at which the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state flows from the working medium pump 42 to the first chamber 415. When the power conversion device 100 is overloaded, the heat generated by the power device 21 during operation is transferred to the cooling working medium 41a in the first chamber 415 at a faster rate, the boiling speed of the cooling working medium 41a in the first chamber 415 is faster, and the cooling working medium 41a in the first chamber 415 is easy to dry. By controlling the operating speed of the working medium pump 42, the rate at which the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state flows from the working medium pump 42 to the first chamber 415 is increased, the situation that the cooling working medium 41a in the first chamber 415 is dry is avoided, the stable heat dissipation of the radiator 41 to the power device 21 is ensured, and the service life of the power conversion device 100 is prolonged.
[0120] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, in the Y-axis direction, the magnetic device 23, the heat exchanger 60 and the heat sink 41 are located on one side of the first fan 50, and the magnetic device 23 and the heat exchanger 60 are located on both sides of the heat sink 41. Specifically, the magnetic device 23 is located on the side of the heat sink 41 away from the first fan 50, and the heat exchanger 60 is located between the first fan 50. Among them, the projection of the magnetic device 23 in the X-axis direction overlaps the projection of the air outlet hole 15 in the X-axis direction. In the Y-axis direction, the magnetic device 23, the heat exchanger 60 and the heat sink 41 are located on one side of the first fan 50, and the magnetic device 23 and the heat exchanger 60 are located on both sides of the heat sink 41. The design can make the first fan 50 drive the external airflow to flow into the second cavity 12 from the air inlet hole 14, and then flow out of the second cavity 12 from the air outlet hole 15 through the heat exchanger 60, the heat sink 41 and the magnetic device 23 in turn, realizing the heat dissipation of the power device 21, the magnetic device 23 and the electronic device 24, and the heat exchanger 60, the heat sink 41 and the magnetic device 23 share the air duct, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the first fan 50 and reducing the cost of heat dissipation.
[0121] In some embodiments, the magnetic device 23 is also provided with heat-conducting fins 231. Specifically, in the X-axis direction, the side of the magnetic device 23 away from the isolation cavity wall 13a is provided with heat-conducting fins 231. The design of the heat-conducting fins 231 is conducive to improving the heat dissipation area of the magnetic device 23 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the magnetic device 23.

The heat exchanger 60 includes a heat exchange cavity 60a, which communicates with the first cavity 11 through the heat exchange hole 17. And the heat exchanger 60 covers the heat exchange hole 17 to close the first cavity 11. The heat generated by the electronic device 24 during work is transferred to the heat exchange cavity 60a through the air in the first cavity 11 through the heat exchange hole 17. Exemplarily, the number of heat exchange holes 17 is multiple. Specifically, the number of heat exchange holes 17 is 2. In the Z-axis direction, the 2 heat exchange holes are located on both sides of the circuit board 22.
[0123] Further, the air outlet side of the second fan 70 faces the heat exchange hole 17. Specifically, the air outlet side of the second fan 70 faces one heat exchange hole 17. The second fan 70 can drive the air in the first cavity 11 to flow, so as to improve the efficiency of the air in the first cavity 11 flowing into the heat exchange cavity 60a through the heat exchange hole 17, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the heat generated by the electronic device 24 during work being transferred to the heat exchanger 60, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic device 24.
[0124] In the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 11, the heat exchanger 60 comprises a first heat exchange portion 61, a second heat exchange portion 62 and a third heat exchange portion 63. In the Z-axis direction, the first heat exchange portion 61 and the second heat exchange portion 62 are oppositely and spacedly arranged, and the third heat exchange portion 63 is fixedly connected between the first heat exchange portion 61 and the second heat exchange portion 62. For example, the number of the third heat exchange portion 63 is plural. Specifically, the number of the third heat exchange portion 63 is three. In the X-axis direction, the plural third heat exchange portions 63 are sequentially and spacedly arranged. In some other embodiments, the number of the third heat exchange portion 63 can also be one, two or more. The first heat exchange portion 61 covers one heat exchange hole 17 to close the first cavity 11, and the second heat exchange portion 62 covers another heat exchange hole 17 to close the first cavity 11.
[0125] The first heat exchange portion 61 comprises a first heat exchange sub-cavity 611. The second heat exchange portion 62 comprises a second heat exchange sub-cavity 621.

For example, the number of the third heat exchange sub-cavity 631 is plural. Specifically, the number of the third heat exchange sub-cavity 631 is two. In the Y-axis direction, the two third heat exchange sub-cavities 631 are sequentially and spacedly arranged. In some other embodiments, the number of the third heat exchange sub-cavity 631 can also be one, three or more. The first heat exchange sub-cavity 611 is communicated with one heat exchange hole 17.

Specifically, the heat exchange cavity 60a comprises the first heat exchange sub-cavity 611, the second heat exchange sub-cavity 621 and six third heat exchange sub-cavities 631.
[0126] The heat generated by the electronic device 24 during operation is transferred to the air in the first cavity 11. The second fan 70 drives the air in the first cavity 11 to flow from one heat exchange hole 17 into the first heat exchange sub-cavity 611, from the first heat exchange sub-cavity 611 into the second heat exchange sub-cavity 621 through the plural third heat exchange sub-cavities 631, and from the second heat exchange sub-cavity 621 back to the first cavity 11 through another heat exchange hole 17.

FIG. 13 is a structural schematic diagram of the heat dissipation assembly 30 (omitting the first fan 50, the heat exchanger 60, and the second fan 70) of the power conversion device 100 shown in FIG. 12 in cooperation with the power device 21.
[0129] As shown in FIGS. 3, 12, and 13, the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in structure, and the difference between the two is the installation position of the working medium pump 42. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 12, in the direction of gravity (i.e., the Y-axis direction), the bottom of the partition portion 414 is further provided with an installation hole 4142, which is in communication with the first chamber 415 and the second chamber 416. The working medium pump 42 is accommodated in the installation hole 4142. Specifically, the installation hole 4142 penetrates the partition portion 414 along the X-axis direction. In the Y-axis direction (i.e., the direction of gravity), the installation hole 4142 is located below the through hole 4141 and below the power device 21.

The first partition plate 4152a and the fifth partition plate 4152e are in contact with and fixedly connected to two fifth connecting walls 4115, respectively.

[0135] For example, the number of power devices 21 is a plurality, and the plurality of power devices 21 include a plurality of first power devices 21a and a plurality of second power devices 21b. The plurality of first power devices 21a correspond to the plurality of first channels 4151a. Specifically, the projection of the first power device 21a on the X-axis direction overlaps the projection of the plurality of first channels 4151a on the X-axis direction. The plurality of second power devices 21b correspond to the plurality of second channels 4151b. For details, refer to the above description. In the direction of gravity, the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in each channel 4151 in liquid state is higher than each power device 21.
[0136] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state is contained in the plurality of channels 4151. The heat generated by the power devices 21 is transferred to the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the plurality of channels 4151, the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state absorbs heat to boil and form the cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state, the cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state flows to the second chamber 416 through the through hole 4141, the cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state releases heat to condense and form the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state, and the working medium pump 42 drives the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state to flow into the plurality of channels 4151 of the first chamber 415 through the working medium pump 42. Specifically, the heat generated by the first power device 21a is transferred to the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the plurality of first channels 4151a, and the heat generated by the second power device 21b is transferred to the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state in the plurality of second channels 4151b.

The cooling working medium 41a in the gaseous state releases heat to condense and form the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state. The working medium pump 42 drives the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state to flow into each channel 4151 from the side of each channel 4151 away from the through hole 4141 through the working medium pump 42.

[0138] The design that the channels 4151 extend along the direction of gravity is conducive to reducing the flow resistance of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state flowing in the channels 4151, reducing the difficulty of driving the liquid level of the cooling working medium 41a in the liquid state to be higher than the power devices 21, reducing the head requirement and service life requirement of the working medium pump 42, reducing the processing cost of the working medium pump 42, and reducing the processing cost of the power conversion device 100.
[0139] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the design that the heat dissipation fins 419 are arranged between the adjacent two condensation flat tubes 412 and the structural improvement of the first chamber 415 are applied to the scenario that the working medium pump 42 is located outside the heat sink 41.
