This application is a National Stage Application, filed under 35 U.S.C. 371, of International Application No. PCT/CN2016/089943 filed Jul. 13, 2016, which claims priority to Chinese Application No. 201510451692.6 filed Jul. 28, 2015, which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
The present invention relates to the field of components of a power system, and in particular, to a shell structure for a thyristor trigger unit.
In a high-voltage DC converter valve, performance of a thyristor trigger unit is of utmost importance. In some DC projects, an exposed TE plate is directly installed in a converter valve. Although the installation is convenient and space-saving is achieved with this approach, the stain-resistant and anti-interference capabilities are relatively poor, and a fault may occur after prolonged operation.
Other thyristor trigger units for the converter valve may be installed in the following manner: A main trigger circuit board is packaged in a shell, and then, the shell is screw-fixed on a radiator at a valve layer. A detachable panel of the trigger unit is located at a bottom part of the shell, and the main circuit board is fixed on an inner side face of the shell. The following problems are found during implementation.
First, when the main trigger circuit board is being fixed inside the shell, because the shell body is relatively flat and anchor screws are located on a side of the shell, it is difficult to reach into the shell with a hand to align anchor points on the circuit board with those on the shell.
Second, during commissioning, when it is required to use an oscilloscope to measure an onboard signal, it is difficult to extend a probe from a relatively narrow bottom face into the shell to perform measurement.
The thyristor trigger unit used in an ice-melting project is also of a flat cuboid structure. It comprises a bottom retaining plate and an upper housing. A main circuit board is installed on the rectangular retaining plate, and the cuboid upper housing covers the main circuit board. Several holes are formed on the upper housing for passage of optical fibers and cables. The trigger unit is fixed via a small portion extending from the bottom retaining plate.
Such a shell structure of the thyristor trigger unit facilitates installation and fixation of the circuit board inside the shell, but has some disadvantages:
First, because the bottom retaining plate is relatively broad, and the extension is also relatively broad, a large installation and fixing space is required, and the shell is not applicable when a relatively narrow radiator is used in a relatively compact valve.
Second, because optical fibers and cables go through the holes on the upper housing, when the upper housing needs to be removed during commissioning of the thyristor trigger unit, the optical fibers and the cables need to be disconnected as well, and as a result need to be reconnected after the commissioning, bringing about great troubles to the commissioning.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a shell structure for a thyristor trigger unit that has a simple structure, requires a small installation and fixing space, facilitates commissioning, and has a strong anti-interference capability.
To achieve the foregoing objective, the following technical solutions are used in the present invention. A shell structure for a thyristor trigger unit includes a shell body and a side plate, where
Further, at least one screw hole used to fix a trigger circuit board on the rear panel is disposed on the rear panel.
Further, at least one weep hole used to discharge water that accidentally enters a thyristor trigger unit in time is formed on the lower panel.
Further, at least one power cable hole for passing of power cables is formed on the lower panel. A main circuit board is connected to a main circuit at a valve layer via several cables extending out of the power cable holes for the purpose of receiving power.
Further, a thyristor trigger line hole for passing of a thyristor trigger line is formed on the left panel. The thyristor trigger unit sends a trigger electrical impulse to a thyristor gate via a trigger line extending out of the thyristor trigger line hole.
Further, two optical fiber holes for passing of one trigger optical fiber and one feedback optical fiber are formed on the right panel. Each of the two optical fiber holes corresponds respectively to one feedback optical fiber interface and one trigger optical fiber interface.
Further, at least one fixing rod is disposed inside the cuboid, one end of the at least one fixing rod is a threaded rod, the other end has an internal screw hole, and the threaded rod is mated with a screw hole on the rear panel.
Further, at least one installation screw hole is formed on the side plate, and the side plate is fixed on the open face via at least one screw, the at least one installation screw hole, and the at least one fixing rod.
Further, at least one fixing screw hole used to fix the shell body on a radiator at a valve layer is formed on the square retaining plate.
By using the foregoing solutions, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. the fixation of a shell and the installation of a circuit board are facilitated; 2. signal measurement and commissioning in a circuit board is facilitated; 3. drainage in the case of water leakage inside a valve is facilitated.

A thyristor trigger line hole for passing of a thyristor trigger line is formed on the left panel 11. The thyristor trigger unit sends a trigger electrical impulse to a thyristor gate via a trigger line extending out of the thyristor trigger line hole. Two optical fiber holes 13 are formed on the right panel 12 for passing of one trigger optical fiber and one feedback optical fiber. The two optical fiber holes correspond respectively to one feedback optical fiber interface and one trigger optical fiber interface.
